Yellow-legged birds quickly lay OF

are laying. A hen which is laying
heavily almost loses the yellow color
out Of her shanks. After molting the

chalky white car lobe indicates bird
is laying heavily, whereas a cream-col

shows the hen has laid slightly or has
stopped laying. A very yellow or dark
ear lobe indicates the hen has not laid
at all.
It is to be remembered that an ex.
tremely white ear lobe also may mean
very low vitality.
The more velvety the texture of the
comb Of q hen is the better Is her

NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA IN
ACCORD IN DEALING WITH MEXICO

Washington. ID. C.--Powers OF North
and South America already have
agreed upon definite plan for deal.
Ing with the Mexican problem, and
when the Pan.American conference is
resumed In New York the program
will be formally ratified.
This information came from Secre.
tary Lansing, who though he would
not discuss details, said he was decid-
edly encouraged over the prospect.
The confidence expressed by Off
cials generally here, that the confer
ees who are representing the United
States, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Qua
temala and Uruguay will be able to
shape a course likely TO bring peace
and restore constitutional government
In Mexico, Is due to the fact that all
are agreed that most of the people Of
the revolution.torn republic are thor
oughiy sick of war and with encour-
agement from friendly powers will
promptly Join in the movement to
clean house.
A large section of the country and
q vast majority of the people have not
been involved In the fighting which
followed the overthrow OF Huerta.
Moreover, II has been reported to
President Wilson and Secretary Lam
sing that only the fear of reprisals by
the military chieftains has kept the
people in subjection while the country
has been impoverished by the battles
Of relatively small forces of armed
men.
Reaching their conclusion on these
reports, the Pan-American conferees
are understood to have determined to
present the situation to all of the var
ious elements in Mexico, addressing
directly not only General Carranza,
Villa and Zapata, but the governors of
states, all military leaders with any
considerable following and other influ-
ential men, urging them to come to-
gether for caucus at which sub
stantial provisional government might
be framed.
A government so set up would have
the support Of the United States and
other American republics.

$500, 900 Plant to Rise.

Medford - Two industrial projects,
vital to the future economic and agri-
cultural prosperity of the Rogue River
valley, are assured: The beet sugar
factory promoted by the Western
Sugar company, backed by Mormon
capitalists, and the Portland Beaver
Cement plant at Gold Hill.
Both projects represent an outlay of
more than $1,000,00 A $500, 600
factory will be built in the Rogue
River valley in time to handle the 1916
crop.
The Portland Beaver Cement plant
at Gold Hill has issued call for its
superintendent, foremen and employees
to report for work at once. The plant,
which has been in course of construc-
tion for the last 18 months, is now 85
per cent completed and practically all
of the machinery has been received
and installed. The analysis of rock
near Gold Hill shows one of the finest
deposits of cement material in the
West.
Tests made by the beet sugar expert
of seed planted in the valley this year
shows high degree of saccharine and
size and productiveness. On some land
sowed to beets the crop is estimated at
from 20 to "a tons to the acre. The
beets have not yet reached the height
of their development.
In the best sugar beet districts of
the Rocky Mountain states, the aver
age tonnage is from 15 to 20 tons an
acre. The bottom land is highly
adapted for the growth of beets. Mr..
Bramwell will arrive in Medford soon
and with the sugar interest expert A.
Storey will pass month inspecting
conditions here.

How Daiymen Succeed.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
wallis Successful dairymen are thos.
who produce the largest amount Of
milk and butter at the lowest cost pos
sible. Large and cheap production de.
pends on the use of cows that have in.
herited the function of producing large
amounts Of milk, and supplying them
with economical nutrients. Inherited
productivity is determined by test ap-
piled to ancestors and TO the individual
COW, and economical feeding calls for
food In such forms and amounts as
will enable the cow to exercise her in
herited ability to its full extent with
out drawing upon her own body for
milk material.
From the foregoing, taken from
Professor Graves bulletin on feeding
the dairy COW, it is seen that profitable
dairying is rapidly being reduced to an
exact science, and that it will be
profitable just to the degree that it is
conducted on scientific lines. System
in breeding and feeding, and the right
system at that, is requisite to steady
consistent success. Hap-hazard meth
ods of selecting the dairy cows and
maintaining the dairy herd may occa-
sionally win when conditions are
but assured success only
awaits those who enter systematically
upon the work of securing real dairy
cows for the dairy and then feeding
them in such way that their bodies
will be maintained and their milk flow
kept at the maximum for the amount
Of feed consumed with the least waste
and at the least cost.
OF course, the handling and market
ing of the milk and dairy products are
parts of this system, but that is an
other story. Those who are interested
In proper methods of feeding may get

Dairy Cow" prepared by Professor
Graves and issued by the college ex-
tension division, Corvallis, Oregon.

John D. Rockefeller Changed Man
Since Recent Death Of Wife

Cleveland O.-There is a changed
master at Forest Hill, the big East
Cleveland estate of John ID. Rockefel-
Ter. That is what Rockefeller's clos.
est friends are saying after visits to
Forest Hill.
The Oldest inhabitant who has cared
for the lawns and drives of Forest Hill
for years knows why their master has
changed. 1t is because their mistress
has gone, they say. For the first time
Mr.. Rockefeller tramps and drives
about his estate without the compan-
ionship of his wife. 3
The attendants tell, too, how the
changed master broke down and cried
at his. first breakfast at Forest Hill
after his return because of the vacant
chair. Rockefeller used to play golf
with keen delight. He plays seldom
now, and without the old-time zeal.

Public Should Bite The Bubble to

Washington, D. C.-"Bite the bub-

properly used, the bubbling drinking
fountain may be a greater menace to

was used. Forty-seven different per-
sons, II men, % women and IA chill
dren used the bubbling fountain. In

the Pacific Northwest, and that the
lumber industry, more than any other,
is experiencing distressing demoraliz-
alton.
Most attention was given to the
lumber situation in the hearing that
occupied the attention of the commits
sion for four hours, but the grain stu
alton, the fruit situation and various
other industries that represent the
Pacific Northwest received ample at
tention.
The commissions hearings were in
formal, although all the testimony was
transcribed for future reference by the
commission. The session was opened
by Joseph E. Davies, the chairman,
who subsequently asked C. C. Colt,
of Portland, to preside.
/ The various elements that have con-
tribnted to the present stagnation of
the lumber industry were presented for
the commissions review.
Foremost in the list of causes was
placed the diminishing demand due to
the European war, but next in order
and closely behind it were placed care
less financing and speculation. Diff
Guilty in obtaining charters also was
named as a contributing factor, and
this condition, it was pointed out. was
due entirely to the war.
The commission also received some
written testimony in addition to the
oral evidence, and some of these doc
uments emphasized the tariff as the
probable cause of depression in some
branches of the lumber industry, par
ticularly the shingle industry. Re-
moval of the shingle tariff has permit
ted shingles manufactured in British
Columbia to enter into unnatural COM
petition with the shingle manufac-
turers of Oregon and Washington.

Charges Of Mans!aughter and
Negligence Are Made.
JURY HOLDS SHIP WAS UNStAWORTHY
Company Officials Accused of Guilty
knowledge and Ballast Was Not
Understood by Engineer.

Chicago-Indictments charging man
slaughter and criminal carelessnesi
were returned before Judge Kersten ir
the criminal court Thursday in connec-
tion with the Eastland disaster.
The captain and engineer and fou,
officers of the st. Joseph Chicago
Steamship company, owners of the
boat, were named. Those indicted
were: George T. Arnold, president Of
the company; William H. Hull, vice
president and general manager; w. C.
Steele. secretary treasurer; Ray w.
Davis, assistant secretary-treasurer
Harry Petersen, captain; Joseph M.
Erickson, engineer.
Bonds were fixed at $40, 900 each for
the company officials and $10,0 each
for Petersen and Erickson. The two
last named are charged with criminal
carelessness, and the officials with
manslaughter.
Separate bills were returned. against
the captain and the engineer, while
the four officials were named in a joint
indictment. The bill against the Off
cials contained five counts, charging:
/. That they knew the Eastland
was unseaworthy and had no stability.
2. That they permitted $500 pass
engers aboard the vessel, which is
more than its carrying capacity.
3. That they were negligent in
hiring an incompetent engineer, who,
because of his lack of skill, was unable
to control the boat properly.
A. That the crew did not number
enough hands to manage and control
the Eastland properly.
5. That the ballast tanks were al
lowed to be out of repair and not filled
with water.
Against Captain Petersen these
charges were brought:
l. That he permitted aboard the
boat larger number of passengers
than she could safely carry.
2. That he neglected to warn the
passengers to leave the Eastland when
it became apparent to him that she
was about to turn over.
8. That he was negligent in not
seeing that the ballast tanks were
properlyfflled and in good repair.
4. That he was negligent in not
seeing that the chalk holes and gang
ways were closed when the ship was
loaded.
The counts in the Indictment of
Erickson are in essential similar to
those against Petersen.
The report.of the grand jury finds
that the disaster was caused by Sin
under conditions of loading"
and says that the instability was due
to zone of three main causes, or any
two, or all three of them," as follows:
First-The overlooking of the vessel
with passengers.
Second-The. mishandling of water |
ballast.
Third-The construction of the ves-
