Athens.-A blockade OF Greece by

The declaration Of the blockade was
issued within an hour of the Greek
premier's notice that his government
would 'disarm and imprison" all Ser

P PacificInternationa]
Livestock
Exposition.

The Pacific International Live
stock Exposition, holding 1T the
Union Stock Yards. North Port
land, December Gil. has been
very aptly called the "Conrt Of
Last Resort, the place where
the breeder and livestock enthus.
last will find assembled the stock
which has won championship
honors at other Shows dnfnR
the tall and winter. The yisit bYs
to this show may rest assured
that they are looking at the very
best of the different breeds in this
country. The winning Of a Grand
Championship at this Show will
be an honor highly coveted bv
breeders.
This is perhaps the only show
in the United States given over
strictly to the exhibition of live.
stock, there being no other activ.
ties or concessions, wild West,
or vaudeville features to take the
attention of the visitors. Anoth-
er feature quite unlike all other
Shows is that OF free admission.
ire stall rent, free entry for live
stock, in fact, the whole Show is
an education exhibit, with the
one idea in mind that the people
are here for the purpose of seeing
and hearing about cattle, hogs
and sheep, If they want to go
to the theatre and picture houses
or to vaudeville show, they can
go where those features are pro
vided as a legitimate enterprise.
Early entries Indicate very
strong showing in the fat stock
division. In previous years fat
cattle equal to that OF any coun-
try have been shown. Compel
ition has become very keen and
breeders are awaiting with much
interest the decision in this years
car load lots of cattle in particu
lar. Ed. Coles OF Haines Oregon,
who has had the unusual good
fortune to win Grand Champion
ships on cattle three years in
succession. is up agains. a hard
proposition this year.
The iare and third certificate
plan, applies on all railroads,
making it an ideal time 10 do
your holiday travelling. The man
who is feeding or breeding any
thing along the livestock line
cannot afford to miss this show
and whenever possible he should
bring his sons along with him.

REPUBLICAN AID
NECESSARY.

on the Presidents proposals for
preparedness is Congressman { Kit
chin of NJ rth Carolina.
Mr.. Kitchin is the ranking mem
ber OF the House committee on
ways and means. He will be
chairman of that committee in
the next Congress and as such
will succeed Mr. Underwood as
floor leader OF the Democrats.
He had never been an ultra-en-
thusiastic supporter OF the Presi'
dents policies. He was one OF
the nineteen Democratic repre-
sentatives who voted against the
ship-purchase bill; and his relat-
ions with the little coterie OF
Cabinet officers who have assum-
ed to speak for the Administration
have never been unduly intimate.
His brother, Ex-Governor Kitchin
wants to be Senator from North
Carolina in succession to Senator
Simmons, but the White House
favOrs Simmons-and this does
not contribute greatly to Con-
gressman Kitchin's zeal for Will
sonism
In addition, Mr.. Kitchin will
have to father the revenue bills
which will pay for preparedness.
He is radical in his views Of
protection: he is. in fact, about
as close to ii tree-trader as we
have in public life. And he is by
no means enamored ot the talk
favorable to Il continuance of the
duty on sugar. Naturally, too,
he Gislikes to have his name link.
Ell up with "A measure providing
for an issue of bonds. Yet he sees
these necessities staring him IN
the face and inevitable il any con.
siderable measure preparedness
is adopted.
Consequently. by conviction,
through political alignment, and
because of personal pride OF opin
lon-Mr. Kitchin's opposition to
enlarge expenditures for defence
is logical and natural. His retus-
al to join the President is ser
ious matter.
Both Mr.. .Kitclrin and the Ad
ministration will seek to soften
The farce of the blow by declaring
that the North Carolinian is
acting on his individual response
bility and not as the Democratic
leader Of the House. This NAV
be true; but it is intimated here
that the President must be weak
ened indeed before Congress if he
cannot carry his floor leader with
him on Il policy which AS such
nationwide support DIS prepar-
edness has.
This, in fact, is the case. The
President will not dominate the
situation this winter as he has
hitherto has done. In 1914 the
Democrats in Congress were all
candidates for re elction, while
the President had two clear years
ahead of him. '..he representa-.
tives then needed him. while he
was measurably independent of
them. Now they are all in the
same boat together. They are
all trying to hold their places.
The President must play the
game OF Congressman instead Of
asking congressman to play his
game only.
So far as the defence program is
concerned, nothing can be done
by the President and his party
alone. Republican votes will b.

Until very recent years. the sub- of the olive commercially, was al ways associated with olive oil and pickled green olives.
 About five years ago the canned ripe olive first began to attain popu- lariti because of it's nutritious food value. and now instead of being con sidered a relish or a delicacy. it has become a part of the daily menu h many homes.
 In former years the entire olive crop of the Salt River Valley was used for piclSled green olives and olive oiI Now the demand for ripe olives has SD increased, that only the vari cites not adapted to canning and the imperfect fruit are used in the making of olive oil, and the picllling of green olives has been discontin- u.d
 Practically all of the Salt River Val ley Is suitable to the planting of olives. and with the bright future of the ripe olive and possible acre returns to the growers, thousands of acres should be planted. In the past two years between five and six hun dred acres have been planted, for the Iaucher' is still learning to depend upon olives for continual success. be- cause they never fail with proper pruning, irrigation and cultivation.
 Al the present moment of the val ley's industrial progress, the olive is

 During the past year beans have been grown on commercial scale i with success in this valley when the proper soii was selected and the right care given. The principal soil special | ly adapted for bean growing is the sandy river loam in the west end of Salt River Valley.
 1 The average crop from fairly good 1 land has been about twelve hundred i pounds, which has brought an aver age price of s4.00 per hundred The threshing costs 25c per sack of S3 pounds.

An investment of S3O0.0O in special cultivators and tools gives an op- portunity for covering more ground by one man than is ordinarily done. and to Illustrate I will give here he mode I use in growing a crop.
 The land being level and of uni form grade, is plOwed, bordered and given one or two deep irrigations, then disced and narrowed ready for rlanting. I plant forty pounds of beans to the acre. Ten to twelve ir- rigatiOns are necessary, each followed by close cultivation until the vines are too large In the cultivation and planting with the tools I mention, four rows can be cultivated at a time, one man covering twenty acres a da-.
 The market for local grown beans has been rather difficult since the claim is made that our beans do not grade up with those of California.
 With better handling and cleaning Of the beans our beans will grade up well, and the consumer well knows that the quality of the Arizona bean is far superior to the California bean.

 Makes Money Al #

There has been a great deal said from time to time about poultry being SO profitable in this valley. Sly experience has been that rather along that line. I have raised utr- keys, ducks and geese successfully here for several years, and right now I have about six hundred little turkeys coming along. In 1913, which was one of the best years we had. I sold six hundred turkeys, at q price close to 20c pound on the foot with an average of IA lbs. weight to each turkey. It costs about $1.0O each to raise a turkey. The country around here is so dry that it is comparatively easy to do this Turkeys thrive better in dry weather than in wet. and although the weather this winter was very wet. we had no trouble with our birds. I incuhate my turkey eggs the same as other eggs. and watch the growth of the little turkeys very carefully. feeding them care fully. also. As they ~et larger T eivo them larger run until they are large enough to skirmish around for them selves. I have not a sick bird on tho nlace.
 Ducks and geese are easier to raise than turkeys, ana a duck will bring 15c to 18c pound seven or eight weeks from hatching Geese bring about the same as ducks but are even easier to raise than ducks Both ducks and geese do well in the ditches and my experience they are good home comers. have some geese now that l have not fed even since they were matched and they are great big healthy fellows, cap able of fetching a good price.
 I find one of the most successful feeds for turkeys. as well as ducks and geese is the surplusage from the truck garden. We have a good size truck garden and raise on it more vegetables than we need, so
