ca s TO ri a
A MEETING FOR COW. OWNERS.

A meeting has been officially called by
the New England Milk Producers asso-
citation at every county seat in Maine
and throughout New England for Satur-
day, Dec. Both, at 10 a. M, and every
cow-owning farmer, man or woman, is
invited to be present.
Better profits to every farmer in this
county and State, is the purpose of the
New England milk producers associa-
ton. Already 1t has added million dol
lars to the returns farmers will receive
for winter milk. Now it plans to net
better profits upon every pound Of milk
and cream. butter and cheese that our
farmers can produce the year around.
Its trademark for dairy produce, made
in New England" aims to supply all the
New England market. To do this would
require double the number of cows kept
at present. The complete carrying out
of the project would bring to our far
me,s several times the amount of ready
cash they have ever received heretofore
from dairying.
After county organizations have been
perfected the work will be carried into
separate towns. 1t Is expected to have
the work finished by the time of the an
nual meeting in February. The object
of the organization is to obtain full mar
ket value for dairy products.

After the primaries, in which the Gov

ity over his opponent, the governor
stumped the State fer Hughes, but it was
too late, the old guard undertook to down
the Governor as a candidate for the u.

Holds That Germany
Has Failed Completely

resumed, the fighting taking on an
extremely desperate character north
of the French strong hold
The Paris war office claims that
the French repulsed all the German at
tacks except that west Of Fort Douau-
mont, the Germans succeeding in
reaching the village of Douaumont,
where the struggle is being contin-
ued.
Apparently he Germans nows have
been able to bring up some, at least,
of their heavier artillery, for the
French war office has reported a
considerable increase in the intensity
of the fire along the whole front at
Verdun.
The drives on Verdun from two
sides, now renewed, are held to indi-
cate the familiar German plan of roll
ing up the flanks of potion, or US
ing the claw-hammer jaws of the mil
itary machine to get at the kernel of
the nut.
Possible development of some Ger
man movement in the Argonne north
west of the fortress is indicated by
the Paris report that the French have
directed concentrated fire on hostile
positions there.
German military writer's are laying
stress on the large amount of ter
ritory wrested from the French in the
first week Of the advance on Verdun,
pointing to the advantage which the
reduction of the defensive front of the
fortress gives the Germans for their
concentric artillery fire.
The activity of the British along
the front in Belgium has begun to
attract increased attention with the
delivery of the thrust which yesterday
won back for them the 800 yards of
trenches they lost last month along
the Ypres- Confines canal.

ator Borah, Republican, objected, but
the Senate voted excuse him.
When Senator Stones name was
called he arose to explain that Sena-
tor Salisbury, Democrat, was absent
on account of illness. He said that
if present Senator Salisbury would
have voted on the original resolution.
81 demand the regular order," de-
manded Senator BOrah.
In the confusion Senator Borah mis-
understood Senator Stone when he
added "very we'll, on this resolution
eff this Senate is going to be gagged,
the senator from Missouri will be
gagged with the rest of u.s." Senator
Borah shouted.
When order was restored Senator
Stone explained that ION this resolu-
ton I vote ave."
There was some uncertainty among
senators as to the tatus of the vari-
GUS resolutions when the roll call had
begun.
It was explained then that Senator
James had moved to lay not only the
Gore warning resolution, but also the
so-called corrected resolution on the
able.
It was necessary then for senators
to express themselves as to warning
and on the question of killing of an
American on an unarmed merchant
man, as a cause for war, in one vote.
For that reason Senator Gore voted
to table the resolution because he did
not favor his own substitute and had
introduced it merely to get an express
sion of the Senate on that issue.
The text Of Senator Cores addition
to his original resolution and which
was tabled with the warning resolu-
ton was as follows:
"Resolved by the Senate, the House
of Representatives concurring, that
Imperial Valley press., 1916-03-04

Washington, March 4.-By vote
cf 68 to ia greater majority than
they expected, administration forces
in the Senate today tabled Senator
Cores resolution to warn Americans
off the armed ships of the European
belligerents, and thereby finally
quelled in the Senate an agitation
which has embarrassed President Will
son in the submarine negotiations
with Germany.
Senator Cores resolution, substi-
tute by Senator McCumber, Repub-
lican, and an attempt by Senator Gore
to strengthen his original proposal, all
were defeated at one time on a roll
call on a motion by Senator James,
one of the administration whips, to
table them.
The administration victory in the
Senate transferred the fight to the
House.
It was said at the White House that
the result in the Senate was satisfac-
tory and met the wishes of President
Wilson. 1t was added that attention
would now be concentrated on the sit
uation in the House.
Senator McCumber later re-intro-
duced substantially the same reolu-
ton he had offered as a substitute
to the Gore resolution. The Nc
Cumber resolution would go to the
calendar.
Senator Gore himself voted to table
his resolution. Senators Chamberlain
and O'Gorman were the only Demo-
Gratis who voted against the admin
istration. The other IL anti-admin-
istration votes were Republican. For
ty-seven Democrats and 81 Republic
ans voted to table the resolution.

Republican, asked to be excused from

New York, March 4.-"Never did a
war situation show more complete
change than in Europe during the last

tary authority today.
"It is but few weeks" he contin-
ued, "since the forces of Germany and
Austria and Bulgaria were sweeping
through Serbia ard it looked as
though British dominion in Egypt and
India was seriously menaced. Then
came the announcement that Germany
would make new drives for Paris and

"That was but a few weeks ago,
and now the Russian drive through
Turkey has made Egypt and India as
secure from German attack as is Liv-

"The great drive for Paris was be-

Farm Bureau Is
Organized Today

The County Farm Bureau, for which
centers have been organized in twelve
schoolhouses in the county, each GEN.
ter to select president to represent
it in the central organization, was or
ganized today at the Barbara Worth
hotel, holding sessions this forenoon
and afternoon.
Walter E. Packard was chosen tenn
porary chairman and A. M. Nelson
temporary secretary. There were pres
ent eleven of the local presidents, Cali
patria, having the twelfth center, not
having yet selected its president.
The discussions which have taken
the time Of hose present throughout
the day have been on a broad scale
and have shown deep interest in the
development of the reources Of the
valley on solid basis.
A committee on bylaws was ap-
pointed, which will report at a SUBJ
sequent meeting.
A committee was also appointed,
consisting of Messrs. LOTUS of Calex-
leo, Moores of Seeley and Lineau Of
Fern, to arrange for a convention of
cotton growers, to be held in Calexico
this month, to discuss cotton culture.
The reason for this special session
is that there will be a great increae
in the acreage Of cotton this year,
and many of the growers will be hav-
ing their first experience with this
culture, and it is proposed to give them
as much light as possible on the best
methods to follow.
Aside from the presidents, there
were present R. E. Wills, general di-
rector of the Farm Assembly; w. E.
Packard Of the StateExperimentFa Farm;
A. M. Melon, secretary of the Farm
Assembly, and County Horticultural
Commissioner Waite.
