Pendleton, Ore.-R. f. Kirkpatrick,
a claimant for the mayors chair and

She said she buried it about two feet

IRISH SYSTEM NOT
DEPRESSED BY WAR

The Irish system of agricultural CO.
operation is successfully withstanding
the burden of the present war. according
to a statement received from Charles
w. Holman, editor of the University of
Wisconsin Press Bureau, who went to
that country early this month to study
the progress made by the Irish farmers
in working out their problems, and to
learn what elements of strength there
are in the European systems which may
be transplanted to America.
Mr.. Holman is on a three months
leave of absence from the University,
without pay He is making the foreign
study at the request of Sir Horace
Plunkett and others who raised spec
ial fund to create foundation for the
advancement of American agricultural
organizations, and who as prelimin-
ary step are sending men abroad to
become familiar with the systems
there. Mr.. Holman is the first one of
these men to be sent.

RURAL BILLY SUNDAY WINS.
Brings Them In With "Paint and
Brush Methods"


Brush Methods"
Greencastle, Ind.-The Rev. julius
Pfeiffer, who has charge of the Pat
ricksburg circuit in the northwest In
diana M. e. conference, is making
good. Pfeiffer is using brush and
liberal quantities of paint. He has ad-
vertised himself all over his curcuit.
At the crossroads he has painted his
name and the time of his meetings in
big red letters. Ell says "balks" and
''kickers" and threats" will not go
with him as long as he is on the job.
One Of his familiar phrases is: 81 am
on the job to stay; must see the thing
through. If you want that soft taffy
kind of preaching I am not the man
to give it to you. AS long as am here
am going to talk about a big God,
who has a broad humanitarian plat
form and who really makes folks do
something"
Mr.. Pfeiffer says his business is "pick-
ing up" since he started his advertis-
ing scheme, and he expects to be run
ming his shops on full time by June
l. He desires to double his output
by Sept. Is.

TO FEED WORLD ON
100000, 900 ACRES
United States to Become Cat
tie Raising Center.

ChicagO.-One of the results of the
European war will be great increase in
American output of horses and cattle.
This country will become the meat pro
ducing spot of the world. The annual
output of 1O,794,000 head will probably
be increased from 20 to 50 per cent
Reports from Europe have shown
that the destruction of live stock due
to the war is beyond all present reali-
Zation. All the countries have been
chary about emitting statistical infor-
nation concerning it because they are
trying to maintain an air Of calm and
confidence about their food supplies.
But the truth is getting out, and it is,
in brief, that Europe will be impover
ished in regard to live stock supplies
sooner than in almost any other eco
nomic direction.
Two chief results are already begin
ming to be perceived. One. and the ob-
need meat from the United States as
never before
The other is that the United States
will change places with Europe in re-
gard to supplying the finest breeding
stock. The magnificent breeding stock
of Holland. Belgium, Great Britain,
France-cattle and horses, alike-are
being sacrificed to the war, and it is
freely predicted that after the war
American breeders will be called upon
to export fine animals in large numbers
to countries from which in the past
they have been wont to import.
Europe is the greatest live stock
country in the world, taken as whole.
It's supplies are vastly larger than
those of the United States, Of South
America or any other of what are COM
monty thought of as the stock raising
regions. But Europe, because of it's i'm
mense population, still has deficiency
that must be made up by importations,
and so it's place as a stock growing
continent is not rightly understood.
The greatest of the stock raising ter
ritories are involved in the war They
are killing off first their horses, de-
stroying them in battle and the deadly
transport service and also making it
impossible to raise the annual crop of
colts. Thus the loss is really double
one
For long time the capacity Of the
western ranges for producing and
maintaining stock has been growing
less As result government statistics
show a reduction of the number Of cat
tie in seventeen western range states in
a period of four years from 3O,OO0,OO0
to 23.OOOOOO and of the number OF
sheep from 39,OO0.OOO to 32.0O0.OOO.
The range has been overfed in some
sections until great areas Of it are be-
coming we'll nigh denuded Of grass and
actually tending to reversion to desert
conditions.

Editor The Democrat: The report
has been published that Gov Philipp
closed down the operation of the Binder
Twine Plant at the Wisconsin State
Prison, and in reply, I desire to state
that there is absolutely no truth in the
statement, for the plant has not been
closed down nor has there been any
such thought.
Not only has the plant been operated
at its fullest capacity to date, but we
have in our warehouse a very large
quantity of fibre, and with May 1st,
full double shift will be put ON and the
plant will be operated night and day to
the close of the season.
Thanking you in advance for publish
