Suit was started today in Judge
Clifford's court by Harriet Young,
an aged resident of Puyallup val
ley, alleging that Ralph w. Bar
ron falsely represented the value
of lao acres, buying it at 500
an acre, she later found it to be
worth between two and three
hundred. Barron is alleged to
have earnestly entreated Mrs.
Young to dispose of her property
to him, promising to obtain her q

The plaintiff was so feeble she
could not withstand the shrewd
business dealings of Barron, 1t
is said, and was taken in by his
scheme.

IMPORTANCE OF MILK HOUSE
Difficult to Properly Care for Dairy
Products in Summer Without
Suitable Building.

During the hot weather it is almost
impossible to care for dairy products
on the farm without suitable milk
house. o. e. Reed of the Kansas Ag-
ricultural college offers the following:
Milk must be produced under sani-
tary conditions, and to do this the milk
house should be either separate from
the dairy barn or arranged In such a
way that doors from the barn do not
get to it.
A 10 by 12.foot milk house Is good
size for the average farm. 1t should
be built with cement floor and have
drain at the center to carry away
the waste. The equipment should con-
sist of a refrigerating tank, 80 by 36
inches, inside measure. This will &C
commodate four milk cans. There
should also be a cooler, aerator, wash
and separator.
A windmill on the side nearest the
refrigerating tank will pump cold wa
ter from the well into one corner Of

PARTYS FAITH KEPT
Secretary RedfieId Talks Of
Democratic Record.
Action Taken Has Been In the Inter.
ests of the People and Not at
the Dictation of Private
Interests.

Denunciation Of calamity howlers"
and vigorous defense of the policies
OF President Wilson's administration
were the features of a speech at In
dianapolis by Secretary Redfield of the
department of commerce before a
meeting Of representatives of Indiana
manufacturing interests.
The secretary defended the tariff,
lauded the federal reserve act, de-
clared that the Clayton antitrust law
and the federal trade commission act
have made palmer the way Of the bust
ness man, and asserted that In the
condition of the country today there
Is no happiness for those who would
do evil to the administration"
The secretary quoted several news
paper articles to show that the coun-
try was on the way to prosperity, and
paid caustic respects to "purveyors OF
pessimism."
"Our party has kept its faith" the
orders by the people to revise the tar
III downward only to answer by revis-
Ing 1t upward. One thing at least no
one dares say about the tariff law,
namely, that 1t was prepared by any
body in his own interest. Never was
there a measure of the kind more
free from personal faint, more purely
intended for public as distinguished
from private purposes.
Look and see how many Of our
partisan opponents venture to rise in
public and denounce the federal re-
serve law. It Is admitted on all hands,
IL not in words at least in silence, by
our adversaries, that this thing has
been well done. On it with confidence
rest the operations Of some of the
very men who cry loudest in criticism
OF our policies.
AYE, but business legislation. Well.
let US face the question Of business
legislation boldly, for concerning 1t
there Is naught we have to fear. We
have made palmer the way of the hon
est business man; our opponents
themselves being witnesses, the Clay
ton law and the federal trade commits
sion law are good. They put no OBJ
stacle In the way of any honorable
man. They make his road more plain.
They give him forum in which he
may be heard"

ARE YOUR COWS EFFICIENT
Milk Scales and Babcock Tester Es.
sential In Conducting Successful
Dairy-Discard Boarders.

Putting the efficiency test to cows
with the milk scales and the Bah
cock tester is one of the essentials
of conducting successful dairy. When
feed is high in price farmer cannot
afford to have boarders in his dairy
barn who eat up more in feed than
their milk yield is worth. The Bah
cock test will show these delinquent
COWS in their true light, and the milk
scales will put the clincher on the
argument. Testing cows will give
some farmers a big surprise. Some
time the COW that looks like the poor
est creature In the lot is the best
butterfat producer.
Cow testing associations among
dairymen afford the most economical
use OF the Babcock tester and the
scales.
