BENEFITS OF Pig CLUB WORK
OUTLINED BY CLUB LEADER

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis - Besides the experience Of
caring for pigs and the profit made
from them, pig club members will be
taught proper methods Of selection,
feed, managing, combating diseases,
marketing, Judging, home butchering,
curing Of meats, and study Of the
different breeds Of hogs" said L. ].
Allen, leaders Of girls and boys pig
clubs in Oregon. Experience will

ords, balancing receipts and expend-
itures, and making final reports. Local
county and state club contests win be
held and suitable prizes offered.
There are two divisions Of the pig
club work. Division / Is feeding and
care Of q brood SOW and litter Of
pigs. Division 2 Is feeding and care
Of one or more pigs from weaving time
till they reach marketable weight.
Club members entering Division 1
require brood sows, bred to farrow "a
near the first of March as possible.
We are In receipt Of a number Of In
quiries from boys and girls from sew
eral different counties asking for as
sistance in finding a suitable gilt or
brood SOW. We have also asked the
newspapers to cooperate with us by
announcing that swine breeders having
pure bred or good grade brood sows to
sell may send Iista to the pig club
leader, o. A. G., Corvallis, who will

secretary Of the navy may sit at his
desk in Washington and talk to the
feet commanders all over the world. /
Secretary Daniels transmitted this
verbal order, which was taken down
by stenographer in Admiral Usher's
Office and acknowledged verbally by the
admiral himself.
"Rear Admiral Usher, comman-
dant, New York navy yard: Report as
soon as practicable after the arrival Of
the New York how soon can the re-
pairs required be completed.
"DANIELS."
Navy wireless stations in all parts of
the country were eavesdropping to
catch the conversation. While Secre-
tary Daniels was still talking with
Admiral Usher, the Charleston, S. c.,
station telegraphed that the order had
been overheard and copied there.
The instrument used was the regular
desk telephone on Mr.. Daniels desk.
1t carried the sound to the great Arl-
ington, Virginia, radio station, where
the transfer was made automatically
by delicate mechanism and the voices
of the speakers hurled out into the air
to be audible thousands Of miles away
by the radio operator, whose set hap
pened to be turned to the right pitch
and who was listening.
To all appearances It was an ordin-
ary long-distance telephone CONVERSE
tion. No effort was made to subdue
the hum OF voices in Secretary Dan
iels' Office, and apparently the noise
did not affect the clearness of the
voices as heard in New York. Replies
to questions came back instantly and
with little need for repetitioDs.

preparedness.

London-The debate on the conduct
of the war and the censorship was re-
sumed in the house Of lords late
Wednesday. Earl Loreburn, former
high chancellor, brought up the sub
ieet, declaring that he took this action
owing to his belief that the Maranissof
Lansdowne, the minister without
portfolio, had not made adequate reply
to arguments of viscount Morley.
Earl Loreburn spoke of what he
termed the misadventures Of the Ant
werp expedition, the loss Of Rear Ad-
miral Sir Christopher Cradock 3 squad
ron, the Dardanelles operations and
the Balkan expedition.
The speaker said he had been told
two months ago that. sl5. 900, 900 men
had been killed orsdisabled for life and
that multitudes hadsbeer added to this
number since and that if the conflict
continued indefinitely revolution or
anarchy" might follow in Europe.
Lord Loreburn, who criticised the
South African war, oddly enough
found himself supported by Viscount
Miner, former high commissioner for
South Africa, who was one Of those
largely responsible for the South Afri-
can war.

DEMOCRATIC HOIkt LEADER
Will OPPOSE DEFENSE PROGRAM

Washington, D. c. Representative
Claude Kitchen, Democratic leader Of
the house, told President Wilson
Wednesday, after long conference
with him, that he. could not support
the administrations program for Ma
tional defense and that he would op-
pose the program in personal capa-
city only and not as majority leader.
Mr.. Kitchen was with the President
more than an hour, during which Mr..
Wilson outlined to him the army and
navy plans for the next session Of con-
gress and for the next five years, and
sought to influence the majority leader
to be in harmony with them.
"All ! can say" said Representa-
tive Kitchen, as he left the White
House, lis that very much regret
that cannot support the Presidents s
National defense program. The plans
do not meet with my convictions, par
ticularly with reference to the navy.
/ shall make it a clear exposition of
my views as soon as congress convenes,
in speech in the house" he replied.
"Of course, shall not attempt to OPP
pose the program as the majority
leader, but merely in my personal ca
pacity."
Mr.. Kitchen said he thoughtjit prob
able that the majority would favor the
defense program.

lumber indnstry III Central Oregon is
expected to cause an immense increase
in the business and population in

firms the rumor that the Roger You

ber company will exchange large
amount Of scattered lands and get a
solid block of about 10000 acres Of
valuable timber in what is known as
the Ochoco forest reserve.
The company will have in the neigh
borhood of 300,00O,000 feet, which
will have to be milled within 20 years
and will necessitate immediate con-
struction of sawmill and railroad.
Two mill sites are under consideration,
one Of which is in PrineviIle, which
the business men of Prineville no
doubt will donate to the company. and
the other is about 20 miles above

most of the pigs were put On. fnlt feed
