What About 1t?

The Valley and Portland cream
cries are putting up hard fight to
put the Nashville and Toledo
creameries out of business. VAL
ley creameries. we are informed.
are offering some two cents above
the market price for Lincoln county
cream and are selling butter here
in Lincoln county some two or
three cents below market quota
tions.
The reason for this is easy to
see. Once they can put these home
creameries out of business they
can have things their own way
again in the handling of the cream
produced in these districts.
The point is, are the cream pro.
ducers uf this section going to be
roped in by bait offered. or are
they going to stay with their home
institutions?

Newport for their outing. This
time he went to the Salmon River
country and the mouth of Siletz.
He was 65 years old and a man of
vigorous constitution. The cause
of death is very obscure. 1t may
have been heart failure or a stroke
of apoplexy. He is survived by a
wife. four daughters and two sons.
Last Sunday evening while Leslie
Martin. the barber, was crossing

he was struck by an auto running

WANTS u. S. TO
ASK WAR TRUCE
FOR CHRISTMAS
Senator Kenyon Introduces the Resolu.
ton, Hoping That Plan Would
Tend to Hasten End Of
H0stilities.

! Washington, Dee. ll.--Senator Kenyon
of Iowa introduced in the Senate vester
day remarkable resolution requesting
the nations at war to declare truce foi
I 20 DAYS, covering the Christmas season
He believes that if such a truce We're de-
clared it might bring about the ending OF
the war.
The resolution provides that:
"The Congress of the United States
representing the desire and sentiment OF
the people of the United States, requests
the beligerent nations now at war across
the seas to declare truce for % days, in
order that the Christian people OF the
world may fittingly observe the Christ
mas season with the hope that such ees-
sation of hostiities at said time may
stimulate reflections upon the part OF
such nations as to the meaning and spirit
Of the Christmas time, to the end that
there may come again 'on earth peace,
good will, toward men
"Resolved, further That a copy of this
resolution be transmitted by the secrc
tary of state to the official representa-
tives of such nations now duly accredit-
ed TO this country"
Senator Kenyon said that such move
ment was being widely discussed among
the churches without respect to denomt-
nation; that not only were Protestant
discussing it, but the pope was
favoring it.

Washington, Dec. l.--Representatiso
Gardner OF Massachusetts, advocate of ar
investigation into United States nationa
security, turned the guns OF polite but
biting sarcasm on the administration yes
terday afternoon in the House. he
heaped whitening scorn on the subject o:
arbitration as means to avert war.
"Shall we defend ourselves with mann
moth rolls of Sunday school signatures z"
he asked, "or shall we place our depend
ence on Chautauqua lectures?'
He took a fling at the rules committee
for burying his investigation resolution
and said the only suggestion of complil-
sorry military training had come from AS
sistant Secretary of Navy Roosevelt.
Referring to the presidents address to
Congress Gardner said;
81 listened with delight to his disserta
ton on the glories of friendship, service
and peace. Even the president with HIS
transcendental ideas cannot expect his
trained citizenry to fight with their fists,
and the country is short BIG field guns
and ] 1922, 3S4 rounds OF ammunition, ac-
cording to the chief Of staff"
Gliding the administration for failure
to turn the "pitiless headlight OF public
ity" on the subject OF preparedness, Gard
ner declared President Wilson inspired
the same confidence in the army and
navy as a "bank president would We're
he to lock the door on the bank exam
iner."
OF arbitration he said
"What a grand word Yet the arbtra-
4 inn tUor conventions M The HaptTa In w

Turkey gave the last shred Moham-
medan burial when she entered the lists.
Had Belgium, like Switzerland and Hol
land, put more confidence in her troops
and less in arbitration and scraps OF pa
per she might to-day be free from tue
agonies of invasion"
Gardner indicated he would continue
his fight for the creation of an inyesti- |
eating commission.
