Coos and Curry Farmers Will
Compete for Dairy Show Prizes

Marshfeld-Coos and Curry counties
will hold their dairy show and annual
Fair at Myrtle Point soon. Since the
cow-testing associations have been in
operation the interest in better cows
and closer attention to production has
increased wonderfully and the ranchers
are ready for any contest. The Fair
association has appropriated 5000 for
this particular feature of the Fair and
the following exhibits will be made for
prizes:
Dairy cows, showing best records for
production of butter fat for period of
80 consecutive days in any of the cow
testing associations during 1915, get
three prizes. All entries must be
registered cows or from registered
sire.
Cheese and butter exhibit has three

ment of dairy manufacturing, Oregon

Seven Battles in Week IS BIoodieSt
Of Entire War in Western Europe

London-Seven separate and distinct
battles were fought in the week just
closed and there can be little doubt
that the days from Saturday, the 8th,
until Friday, the 14th, will rank
among the most bloody in the history
of Western Europe, says the CORE
spondent of the Times. He adds:
Saturday night saw no lessening in
the intensity of the struggle. On the
Ypres front, although outnumbered
and in danger of being outfanked, our
men again and again hurled back Ger
man attacks.
During the darkness the Germans,
as though aware that with every pass
ing hour their opportunity was slip
ping away, continued to hurl them
selves against our lines.
''Men who lived through this night
shot until they could no longer hold
their rifles. The fury of the assault
was indescribable.
"Dawn of Sunday showed in the
fields in front of Ypres the dead piled
like cornstalks at harvest time, British
and Germans lying side by side."

far to prove the incapability of the

may be one consideration used in stay
of such final judgment, but that is not

This statement, spoken offhand to
his secretary, reveals the foundation
of Lincoln's judgment on the Civil
war; there was at stake something
more precious than the preservation
of the Union, something more urgent
than the abolition Of slavery-and that
was democracy. Two years and half

United States Is Among Poorest
Potato PaiSers in Whole World

Of the potato growing countries Of
the world, the United States stands
third from the bottom in yield per
acre, says the newly issued bulletin of
the University of Oregon entitled
Markets for Potatoes"
1t is in the method of culture rather
than from poor soil conditions that the
United States falls behind other coun-
tries. The average yield in Germany
in 1912 for example, was 223 bushels;
in the United States it was 1884
bushels. Longer rotation, more fer
tilization and more cultivation, and
more and better seed, are necessary to
enable this country to compete in
quantity and quality with such potato
raisers as the Germans, says the bull
letin.
Means of bettering the general in
dustry in Oregon and elsewhere are
suggested as follows: Use of better
seed; rotation of crops; improvement
of pack; establishing system of CO.
operative marketing.
The Belgium average yield per acre
in 1912 was 313 bushels, that of Hol-
land 286, that of Germany, 223, of the
United Kingdom 1T, of Canada IT'S,
of Sweden 173, of Japan 148, of Ar
gentine 1873. Other countries surpass-
ing the United States were France,
Chile, Switzerland, European Russia,
Austria-H Hungary and Spain. The only
countries falling below were Italy with
79 bushels per acre, and Australasia
with 104.

Klamath Shipping Cattle.

Klamath Falls - Three carloads of
cattle have been shipped to the Port
land markets. These are the first
Klamath Falls cattle to go to the Port
land Union Stockyards for some time,
and the grading and prices they re-
ceive is being awaited with interest
by Klamath Falls shippers. It is
thought by some shippers that the
Portland market, while it offers in
some instances more attractive prices
for stock, cut the profits from ship
ments there by too strict grading.
If the prices and gradings at Port
land are what Klamath Falls men be-
lieve they should be, there is reason
to expect that some of the several car
loads of stock that are sent away from
Klamath Falls every Thursday will be
delivered to Portland instead of going
to Sacramento.

Freezing Temperature Over Wide Area.

Washington, D. C.-Abnormally cold

20 degrees below the seasonal average

parts of Minnesota and West Virginia.
Reports to the weather bureau told of
the disturbance, one accompanied by
heavy frosts in Nebraska, Minnesota
and parts of Iowa and Wisconsin, and
the other attended by rains over the
Northern states east of the Missis-

HUMANITY FIRST IS PRESIDENTS
VIEW IN SPEECH At NEW YORK

New York-President Wilson -- tn,
man on whom the eyes Of the worlc
are turned because Of the internationa
situation - Tuesday reviewed the At
lantic fleet in the Hudson river and al
o luncheon rendered to him on shore by
the City Of New York told distin-
guished gathering Of navy officers,
army officers and civilians what the
country and its navy stood for. The
great battleships that lay in the river,
he said, were "engines to promote the
interests Of humanity"
'The inspiring thing about Amer
ica," the President asserted, "is that
she asks nothing for herself except
what she has right to ask for human
ity itself. We want no nations prop
erty; we wish to question no nations
honor; we wish to stand selfishly in
the way Of the development of no ma
tion. 1t is not pretension on our
part to say that we are privileged to
stand for what every nation would like
to stand for and speaking for those
things which all humanity most de-
sire."
The spirit which brooded over the
river, said the President, was ''just
solemn evidence that the force of
America is the force of moral princi-
pie, that there is not anything else she
loves and that there is not anything
else for which she will contend"
The President took occasion in his
speech to pay tribute to Secretary of
the Navy Daniels, who sat beside him.
Although the day was damp and
chilly, with occasional downpours of
rain, the weather in no away abated
the enthusiasm with which New York
greeted the head of the nation. In
the forenoon he reviewed a land parade
Of 5000 sailors and marines from the
fleets 16 battleships, and from the
moment he set foot on shore until
after the luncheon he returned to the
to review the feet, his
progress through the streets was a con-
tinuous ovation, remarked upon by
those who accompanied him as the
most enthusiastic they had witnessed
since the Presidents Inauguration. He
was plainly touched by the welcome
accorded him.
