Chemical Company Is
Buying Radium Lands

Washington, D. C.-Hearings be-

Strong Appeal Made
for Women on Farms

Denver-An appeal for community
organizations of farmers and for in
creased social activity on the part of
farmers wives and daughters was
made to livestock men from all over
the nation, who are here in attendance
on the 18th annual convention of the
American National Livestock associa-
ton, by DR.. T. N. Carver, director of
rural organization service of the Fed
eral department of agriculture.
The life of the women on the farm
came in for much of DR.. Carver's at
tention. He declared that their home
lives should contain more pleasure and
less drudgery and said that more com
partnership with other farm women
would result in feeling of co-opera-
tive friendliness among the farmers of
community, which would rebound to
the welfare, financially and morally,
of all concerned.
DR.. Carver could find no excuse for
the lack of attractiveness which he
had found in many farmhouses, and
declared it his belief that much of the
migration of farmers children to
cities and towns could be checked If
the farmhouse became farm home.

taking refuge behind the great marble
columns of the corridors until they
were satisfied there was to be no
shooting. The incident apparently

SIPS, 600 Fire Sweeps
Portland Lumber Yard

Portland Famed by a stiff south
westerly breeze, flames swept the
yards of the Portland Lumber COM
pany at the foot of Lincoln street in
South Portland, from 80 to 1870
Wednesday night, causing damage
variously estimated by L. ]. Went
worth, general manager of the COM
pany, at from 100000 to $50, 900,
covered by insurance.
After fighting for two hours the
main mill was saved only after all the
finished lumber and section Of the
rough planking had been totally des-
troyed.
According to the fire records an
alarm was sounded for blaze in the
vicinity of the lumber company g
plant shortly after7 o'clock and was
responded to by two companies, who
reported back false alarm. Wheth-
er or not the fire actually started at Z
o'clock and was thought to have been
extinruished by millhands is ques-
ton puzzling Chief Dowell.
One report says the fire was started
by hoboes in an empty box car. Aside
from this there seems to be no inform
alton as to the origin Of the blaze.

Forest lands Exempt
From Income Taxes

Washington, D. C.-Foresters and
llumbermen see in a decision of the
Treasury department in regard to the
administration of the income tax a
strong argument for forestry. As they
interpret the opinion of the treasury
officials they understand that no tim
Der lands shall be subject to the tax
until the timber is cut and marketed,
and that then only the profit will be
subject to an income tax assessment.
In other words, all costs will be de-
Quoted before the tax is levied, and
these will cover the cost of growing
the timber, including the cost of
planting where necessary and of pro-
tecting the growing crop from fire and
other depreciation.
This decision was based on a request
for information made by P. S. Rids-
dale, secretary of the American For
estry association. He asked if there
would be q tax on the value of the
yearly growth of timber whether it
was cut or not, and also whether an
income tax would be assessed on the
value of the timber land.
In reply the Treasury department
said that 1.-THE gain from the cutting
and disposal of stumpage is realized in
the year during which the timber is
cut and disposed of, and that the
amount received in excess of the cost
Of such timber is profit and should be
SO accounted for as income for that
year.

ADVANTAGES OF CLIPPING
cows UDDER QUESTIONED

Oregon Agricultural College, Corval-
lis.-Does clipping the long hair from
the udder and flanks of the dairy cow
reduce the amount of dirt that falls
into the milking pail? The question
is an important one for every dairy
man who is producing market milk
to consider, as it is we'll known that
the number of putrefying and disease
germs is increased with the increas-
ing amount of dirt, hairs and manure
that drops into the milk. Whatever
keeps the dirt out keeps the bacteria
out, so that the milk is cleaner, more
wholesome and keeps it's natural
state longer.
ut was quite recently thought that
clipping the hairs from that part of
the cows body that is directly above
the milking pail was great aid to
cleanliness, and almost a necessity in
the production of sanitary milk" said
Professor Graves, head of the Oregon
Agricultural College Dairy Depart
ment. "But the still more recent ex-
pertinent conducted by the New York
Experiment Station indicates that it
has very little effect on the bacterial
content, tending to increase rather
than diminish the number. The tests
were made by taking samples of milk
before and after clipping under con-
ditions as nearly the same as possible
with the single exception of clipping.
While the difference in the bacterial
content of the two samples was not
enough to base final conclusions on.
it was sufficient to indicate that II
proper sanitary methods are observed
in handling the cows and the milk,
clipping is not essential to the pro-
duction of the highest grade OF milk"

'RADIUl CORNER

Commissioner Declares Search
for Mineral Would Cease.
Colorado Alone Can Supply World
If Left Alone Prospectors
Need Encouragement.

Washington, D. C.-Removal Of all
radium lands, as proposed by the gov.
eminent, was bitterly opposed before
the house mines committee by Thorn
as R. Henahan, state mining commits
sioner of Colorado, who declared such
action would ruin the radium mining
industry.
"All we want is to be let alone" he
declared. eve are getting out the
radium. If you tie up these lands,
prospectors will not go into them.
AS it is, SO out of 100 prospectors
fail. What they need is encourage
ment, not Encouragement, if this ra-
dunn is to be mined"
Joseph M. Flannery, president of
the Standard Chemical company, of
Pittsburg, said his company had spent
in three years $3.50, 900 to produce two
grams of radium. The grams cost
$3.50, 900 to produce, he estimated, and
brought in $4,000. In April. he
said, the company would be producing
one gram month.
"There is enough radium ore in Col
orado to supply the world five times
over" said Flannery. "Only zoo
grams are needed for the whole Unit
ed States. l will undertake to deliver
to the government in five years from
January 1, 1915, 200 grams of radium
at maximum price of $4,000 a
gram.
Flannery told the committee he had
friend "philanthropically inclined, "
whose name he declined to give, who
was considering spending $15, 000,0 900
in building 20 radium hospitals in
sections of the country where they
would serve sc per cent of the popula-
ton. Each would be endowed with
five grams of radium, not only for the
treatment of cancer, but also for other
diseases. He said he expected a de-
cision soon.
Mr.. Flannery said he believed no
company could enter the Colorado field
and produce 10 or IL grams of radium
at cost of less than 500, 900 gram.
His own company, he said, now treat
ed only 2 per cent ores.

Message Of President
Brings Quick Action

Washington, u. C.-President Will
sons suggestion to congress in his
trust address that the government and
business men are ready to meet each
other half way lin common effort to
square business methods with both
public opinion and the law" fell on
attentive ears and struck responsive
chord in different parties.
The atmosphere of cooperation and
accommodation in the message, the
reforms proposed expressed in terms
OF conservatism and the spirit of
friendliness to supersede antagonism
in dealing with big business which
dominated the Presidents thoughts
reused expression of approval from all
sides. Few discordant notes were
sounded in comments from members
Of the congress who are to pass on
Legislation urged to prohibit monopoly
and hold men of bushes within the
law.
Throughout the delivery of the adj
dress the assembled senators and rep
resentatives listened intently to every
word, applauding frequently when the
President began enumeration of evils
which he believed needed remedying.
His proposal for an interstate trade
commission to facilitate business and
keep it in the straight path; the rec
ommendation of laws to prohibit inter-
locking directorates and holding COM
panies; suggestion for authority to
regulate railroad securities; for an
act that would fix guilt upon individ-
uals instead of Furnishing business,
and that the courts be opened to in
dividuals harmed by illegal business
all of these were received with gen.
eral approval, evidenced by enthusiast
tic applause.
Before the plaudits of his audience
had ceased and as the President was
passing from the house chamber where
his successive appearances since last
April have contributed to the nations
history, his utterances had precipitat-
ed action.
Representative Underwood, majority
leader of the house, was the first to
act. As soon as the house reconvened
after the joint session held to hear the
President, he offered motion to refer
to the interstate and foreign commerce
committee the suggestions for the
creation of an interstate trade COM
mission and for law empowering the
Interstate Commerce commission to
regulate the issuance of railroad Sc
curities and to refer to the committee
on judiciary these proposals relating
to legislation designed to supplement,
but not amend, the Sherman antitrust
act. This motion was adopted and it
was announced later that both COM
mittees would begin work at once and
arrange for public hearings.

Guilty can well afford to seek their
protein supply largely from this
source, leaving the higher priced meat
source for the less strong. Another
un1avorable feature of this supply is
It's tendency to rise in price with ris-
Ing prices OF meat. Eggs at moder-
ate prices are good substitutes for
the meat proteins. Here again the
price is apt to vary with meat prices,
but in the spring and summer the
price is satisfactory.
