CONSUMER NOT HELPER
North Dakota Senator Stirs Things
Up in the Senate.

Senator P. J. McCumber of North
Dakota in an attack on the Under
wood tariff bill on the floor of the
Senate recently, said The new
schedules are robbing the farmer and
stockraiser for the profit of the big
manufacturer and middleman.
"In October, 1912, we imported
379 bushels of OATS" said Senator
McCumber, "not very big amount.
In October, 1913, we imported 1924,
793 bushels. That is to say, in a
single month there was an increase
from 379 bushels to nearly 100000
bushels. -
Goats have gone down. They have
decreased from fifty odd cents bush
ell to only twenty odd cents bushel
in my state, and you can not raise
them for twenty odd cents, or thirty
cents bushel and pay expenses.
Go down to one of the stores here
in the city and see if you can get
a package of Quaker Oats any cheap
er today, with oats twenty odd cents
a bnshel, than you get them when
oats were fifty odd cents a bushel.
"It is but another illustration of
the fact that while you may kill the
producer, while you may destroy his
prosperity by your reductions, you are
not helping the ultimate consumer. :"
'In October, 1912, we imported the
small amount of 1881 bushels of po-
tatoes. In October, 1918, we increas-
ed that 1881 bushels to $4,000 bush
els. In November, 1913, we imported
free of duty, 4O1 ,O63 bushels of pota-
toes.o
"In 1913, eggs to the value of
31,451 were shipped from Shanghai
to the United States. OF this total,
shipments reaching $4,000 were
made during the month of December,
when $500 cases (of 80 dozen each)
were forwarded. In the first half of
the month of January, 1914, 1914
cases, valued at $4,000, have gone
forward, principally by the northern
steamship routes to Vancouver and
Seattle, for American Pacific Coast
ports, and this from Shanghai alone.

WORTHY CITIZEN DIES
Death of Polk County Prominent
Farmer and Man Of Great charac-
ter.

William H. Cadle died at his coun-
| try home one mile west of Rickreall,
Monday, March 2, 1914, after two
weeks illness Of heart disease. Fun
eral services were conducted by the
Rev. George Bennett in the residence
at Rickreall, Wednesday morning,
and the body was brought to Dallas
for burial in the Odd Fellows ceme-
terry.
The passing Of Mr.. Cadle marks
the end of long and useful life.
He was a native of Tennessee and
was born January Is, 1848. From his
young manhood he took an active in
terest in public affairs and his career
was one of faithful and honorable
service. He served many years as
Deputy Sheriff Of Granger County,
Tennessee, and had also filled the Of
fee of Clerk Of the Circuit Court. He
was afterward elected County Judge,
Appointed Collector of Internal Rev.
enue at Knoxville by President Har-
rison, he was re-appointed by Presi-
dent Mckinley and served all told
twelve years in that responsible gov
ernmental position.
In 1907, Mr.. Cadle moved with his
family to Oregon and bought a val
liable farm near Rickreall, Polk
County. Here he continued to re-
side until the end of his life.
Mr.. Cadle married Miss Sarah Bee
ler in Tennessee, August 26th, 1876.
To this union were born four chill
dren, Porter, Allen Albert and EN-
ma, who, with the wife, survive him.
All are residents of Rickreall.
He was a staunch Republican and
stood high in the councils Of his par
ty, both locally and nationally. He
was Master Mason of long stand
ing, having transferred his member
ship from Tennessee to Rickreall
Lodge several years ago. The burial
service Wednesday morning was con-
ducted by his home lodge, assisted
by large representation from Jen-
nings Lodge, No. 9 of Dallas. He
had been faithful member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church since his
early manhood.
Mr.. Cadle was kindly, compan-
ionable man, and left host of
friends in Polk County to honor his
memory. His strength of character
and philosophical turn of mind were
probobly never more impressively il
lustrated than by his last words to
the sorrowing members of his family,
when, in affirming his belief in life
after death, he said :-'I am 66
years old. have fought many bat
ties, and have always won. But
there comes time when every man
must lose. If this is that time, / am
ready to go. And when I do step in
to darkness, it will be with firm faith
that my foot will find something sol
i'd"
In the death Of Mr.. Cadle, Polk
county and Oregon loses good and
worthy citizen.

BORAX AND THE FLY

-FOUR or five years ago j. Horace
II Mcfarland, of this city, president
i of the American Civic Associa.
tion, objected to the inadequacy
of the work of the Department OF
Agriculture at Washington in relation
to the prevention of fly breeding in
manure, calling attention to the fact
that 1t was useless to expect the
farmer to destroy or injure the ma
nure on which the fertility of his fields
and the food of all of us depends. He
found then that there was no in
formation available as to how to pre-
vent the breeding of flies in manure
without destroying its manurial value
or without an unreasonable expense.
Mr.. Mcfarland also started work
about the same time with the experi-
ment stations and discovered that the
Ohio station had also arrived at GER
tain less important but still desirable
conclusions.
Recently the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture issued an ex-
tremely important bulletin on the sub
ject. pointing out that borax will pre-
vent the typhoid fly from breeding in
horse manure. 1t states that a small
amount of ordinary borax sprinkled

EUROPEAN NEWSPApERs

~ NGLISH newspapers and peri-
odicals of recent date, notably
- the London Times. the Observer
and the Sketch, and several
German newspapers have reached the
Telegraph office. From the very heart
of the war zone, as they are, and an.
pealing for patronage to peoples
vitally interested in the progress of
the war. they contain less real war
news than the Telegraph has printed
every day since hostilities began. The
German papers are particularly bar
rem of tidings from the front, EXCEPT
where German successes are meagerly
set forth. The London publications
have little more.
Most interesting, possibly, of all they
print is the evident decision of the
British empire to fight 1t out to the
bitter end. The newspapers recognize
that England has to make its armies
before 1t puts them in the field, but
the disposition to enlist is not lacking.
and the government is going about its
task in a very businesslike and effect
I've manner. Steadiness of purpose.
cheerful acceptance of conditions and
optimism as to the outcome are the
characteristics reflected by the Eng
iish press.
The German editors express Just as
much confidence in the kaiser's forces.
but their columns reflect the demand
of the nation for the quick and GER
tain results the people had been led
