General lvanoff Is In command Of
the southern group Of Russian armies
and, together with General Brusiloff,
is given the credit for the severe de-
feats inflicted on the Austrians since
the Teutonic invasion of Russia was
checked
that was the effect it had, he said, the
real object was to keep ahead Of Ger
many.
This year the board fixed as it's pol
icy the creation by 1925 of a fleet
equal to the most powerful afoat at
that time, he said. The committee
did not go into the boards reasons for
changing its ideas beyond drawing out
the explanation that the board believed
a feet 10 per cent superior to any
fighting force that might be brought
against it would be necessary to in
sure against the invasion of American
soil by an enemy.
Under questioning by Representative
Kelly, Admiral Badger said the con-
struction of three additional dread
naughts and eight battle cruisers
would place the navy on par with the
capital ships of the German fleet to-
day. Germany now has 20 dread
naughts and eight battle cruisers, he
said, according to the best available
information, while the United States
has all told 10 ships of the dreadnaught
class, built or building.
To equal Great Britain's fleet within
two years, Admiral Badger said, the
United States would be obliged to have
a total force of 40 dreadnaughts, Is
battle cruisers, rs swift scouting craft,
200 submarines and $50 destroyers.
He was not favoring such program,
but merely answering questions by
Representative Butler. Such feet
could not be built in two years, he
added, though it might be constructed
in four.

To Celebrate Baby Week
In Many American Cities

Washington, D. C.-There are 1727
communities considering some prepar-
alton for Baby Week, according to the
inquiries received by the Children's
Bureau Of the U. S. Department of
Labor. This number does not include
those of whose interest in the cam
paign word has come to the bureau in
directly.
The letters about Baby Week are
still coming in from evey state in the
Union and from every type of COM
munity, such as Colorado settlement
forty miles from railroad, club Of
women on one of the government re-
clamation projects, a Montana coal
mining town with a large foreign
population, a southern mill village,
and club of farm women in Middle
Western state.
Texas has its own Baby Week slo-
gan-Baby Health is Texas Wealth.
and Mississippi has started competi-
tion to secure slogan for that state.
North Dakota reports plans for q
statewide essay contest in the public
schools. In few state campaigns the
State Federation of Women's Clubs,
the State University Extension De-
partment, the State Health officials
and those who are especially interested
IN education are all cooperating in the
Baby Week campaign.
Many large cities are going to have
Baby Week. Definite plans are
under way in Albany, Baltimore, Bos-
ton, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Minneap-
oils, Philadelphia, Richmond, San
Francisco, Washington and other
cities. New York had a successful
Baby Week in 1914 and will probably
hold another this year in the late
spring.
In its suggestions for Baby Week
observance the Children's Bureau lays
special emphasis on the opportunity 1t
affords for extending permanent work
for infant welfare, such as infant well
fare stations, visiting nursing, special
nursing and instruction for prospective
mothers, city inspection of milk, spe-
cial work for the prevention of blind
ness, and little mothers classes and
home nursing instruction for school
girls in the upper grades

Stock Go to Bunch Grass.

Baker = Hope for relief from the
threatened further loss of livestock be-
cause of lack of feed is reported from
parts of this vicinity. Horses ard
cattle are leaving their straw and hay
for the bunchgrass. In the vicinity of
North Powder, where the snow was
unusually heavy it is reported that it
is melting and that it will not be long
before the grass starts growing if
present conditions continue.
John Day stockmen expect that con-
ditions that have been very threaten
ing will improve SO that livestock
there will be able to begin feeding
early next month.

No Logs; Dallas Mil Idle.

Dallas-For the first time in several
months, the large sawmill plant of the
Willamette Valley Lumber company,
in this city, is clsoed. This is due to
the shortage of logs. Owing to the
heavy snow storms of the past month,
work has been impossible in the camps
near Black Rock. The supply of logs
on hand when the snow stopped opera
tions is exhausted.
All camps are now in full operation,
and by the middle Of next week the
mill will resume again. Only few
of the men were laid off, most of them
being employed in repairing the plant,
which has capacity Of 100, 900 feet a

Changing Conditions Compel
Cheaper Pork Production

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-The number of recent farm sur
veys conducted by the U. s. depart
ment of Agriculture and the Oregon
Agricultural College Extension service
have clearly shown the need of more
livestock on the average Oregon farm
in order to make farming more profit
able. Notwithstanding this fact farm
ers are forced to confront the further
fact that recent pork prices have been
such that increasing the number of
pigs kept on the farm involves a seri-
GUS risk Of loss and makes improved
methods of production imperative. The
farmers also find that on some of the
most profitable farms the number Of
pigs kept is related somewhat to the
number of other livestock, especially
dairy cattle. Just how to reconcile
these somewhat conflicting require
ments is problem that progressive
farmers are beginning to give earnest
consideration to, and the following
points brought out at the recent Farm
ers' Week exercises at the college may
prove of value to them:
Conditions and methods Of produc-
tion are already beginning to undergo
changes demanded by changing condi-
tions; the quality Of animals is being
increased and the number is being reg
ulated by conditions that now exist
and which will prevail for the next
year or SO. 1t is pointed out by G. R.
Samson, swine specialist of the col
lege, that both pure bred breeding
stock and pork hogs must be produced
more cheaply than they were five years
ago.
1t also was shown that the further
fact should be taken into consideration
that some farmers can well produce
pork at ten cents pound but cannot
proftably produce it at six cents.
Evidently, then, each grower should
take into consideration the cost of
producing feed and the cost of labor in
caring for the stock. If these condi-
tions are such that he cannot make a
profit at the present prices he should
discontinue pork production until
prices improve, or if the economic con-
ditions on his farm are such that he
can produce a fewer number with
profit, then he should confine his
efforts to the number that may be thus
grown at profit. While it is not
likely that the present prices will re-
main as they are for any considerable
length of time, and while it is true
that there are already evidences Of
better prices, it is well to accept con-
ditions as they are and, as Professor
Samson says, "cut the garment ac-
cording to the cloth"
Another element in cheaper produc-
tion is more complete combination Of
fattening and growing pork which
means that no retarding must be al
lowed to occur in the growth or devel-
opment from birth to marketing. Pos
sibly slightly slower development
than has been secured with the best

Playground Sale Likely.

Eugene Within the next few days
petitions will be circulated in Lane
county to authorize the purchase of
the Lane County Fair grounds by the
county for the sum Of 500, 1000. The
property is owned by the Lane County
Agricultural society, an organization
of Eugene business men, and has been
leased from year to year for fair pur-
poses. The arrangement has proven
unsatisfactory and it Is proposed to
purchase the property outright.
The question will be placed on the

Experimenting In Ores.

The College of Mines at the Uni
versity of Washington, is making
tests upon small quantities of ore to
determine what ore can be treated and
under what conditions the best results
can be obtained. The college intends
to add to its present complete concen-
tration mill, full set of laboratory
flotation units. Before the end of the
present semester the college will make
report upon the results of the exper-
iments which may be the means Of
saving a great deal Of time and ex-
pense in the operation Of the mills.

THEY WANT TO KNOW
Laundry Men Ask DR.. Clark for In
structions on How to Act.

Laundrymen are calling on Commls-
sioner Porter for instructions govern
ing their actions with reference to the
collection of laundry at homes in To-
peka that are carded for measles,
whoopingcough, scarlet fever and
other contagious and infectious dis
eases. They state that they do not wish
to subject their employees to any I'M
necessary risks, nor do they wish to
run the risk of spreading disease
among their customers by either hav-
ing their collectors calling at such
homes or gathering clothes and piac-
ing them alongside of those from
homes where no sickness occurs.
The commissioner has taken the
matter up with DR.. H. L. Clark, city
health officer, and the matter will be
thoroughly threshed out at a meet
ing to be held within a few days by
the various health officers of the city.
AS matters now stand all bedding
and clothing must be first fumigated
by the city in their fumigating plant,
located underneath the auditorium,
before it is sent to the laundry, with
reference to scarlet fever or diph-
liberia but as measles and whooping
cough is considered only sufficiently
serious to only establish a partial
quarantine, no action has been taken
by the health department as to the
disposition of laundry or bedding.
Full instructions will be sent the
various laundrieS. within a few days,
governing their actions and covering
the entire situation, 1t is announced.

BESSIE ROBERTS DENIES
Girl of Pair Arrested by Police Says
She Isn't Diseased.

Bessie Roberts, one of the two girls
arrested by the police in a raid at 1913
Clay street Sunday night, and released
day later by the police on the agree
ment that they would leave Topeka at
once, has written a letter to the State
Journal from Lawrence making de-
NAL of much of the information given
to the State Journal by the police.
TT was true that we were arrested
she writes, but the rest is not. The
part about US being in Jail for a loath-
some disease is mistake. I never in
my life had a disease of that kind.
Now if you do not believe me you can
ask the police station if 1 was ever in
there for a disease. Other girls can
get caught with the goods and get out
without such a muss but we two are
young and unprotected"
1t was Harvey Parsons, chief of po-
lice, who stated that the girls had
been treated at the police station at
the citys expense for the disease. He
told in detail of the treatment and of
the physicians theory as to the re-
suits of the treatment. All Of the in
formation contained in the article re-
ferred to by Miss Roberts came from
Chief Parsons and other police Of
ficialS.

Waite Attempted to Asphyxiate
Mrs. Peck, Wife Says.
Daughter Smelled Fumes and
Saved Mothers Life.

Grand Rapids, Mich, March 80
DR.. Arthur Warren Waite, a week be-
fore he killed Mrs. John E. Peck,
made an unsuccessful attempt to as
phyxiate her with Illuminating gas.
according to statement made today
by Doctor Waite's wife.
shortly before mother died, think
perhaps a week. she said, Il was
awakened by the smell of gas in the
apartment and getting up to investi-
gate. L found a gas jet in mothers
room turned full on.
Luckily, window had been left
open and she suffered little from the
gas. At that time we thought nothing
of it; we believed that when mother
retired she had failed to turn off the
gas and the wind blew out the flame.
At least, that was the explanation
Warren gave, but 1 know different
now. I remember he had placed
something before the crack under the
door, as if to keep the gas from escap-
ing into other sections of the apart
ment.
Il also remember now how queer
Arthur acted when I awakened him
and told him what we had found. He
left home the next morning early and
did not return until late at night
In regard to the death of Mr.. Peck,
Mrs. Waite said he seemed to be in
pain after retiring and Doctor Waite
went to his room, remaining for some
time.
Doctor Waite again went to fathers
room and when he returned he told
me, Your father is gone If he had
administered chloroform to hasten the
end there would have been ample time
for the dispelling of the fumes"
