recently met at Cedar Rapids and
formed the Iowa Farmers Protectiv
association, have begun a State wide

turers and prominent business men. It
win devote its entire efforts this year,
from Davenport as a center, in secur-
ing a constructive good roads system
with sufficient Appropriation from the

STEEL MILL FOR SOUND?
Pittsburgh Rumor Says Plant Will Be
Established in This District.

PITTSBURGH. Pa, Jan. 81
There is a rumor in circulation here.
q persistent rumor, which it is i'm
possible to confirm, that local steel
men will be interested in large steel
plant on Puget Sound. It is said
this plant will be built to supply Rus
sian orders and Russian army Off
GERS now somewhere on the Pacific
coast are said to be the promoters.
The approval Of orders for $780,
100000 worth of machine guns to-
day by the Russian buying commits
sion in the United States and the
fruitless efforts of the same COM
to place orders for 10000
900 high explosives and shrapnel
shells in this country, backed by the
fact that high Russian army officials
have been urging additional plants.
add strength to the rumor.

TAKE THESE FINE. PIANOS
THEY ARE YOURS FOR A FRAC.
TION OF THEIR REAL VALUE.
MAKE YOUR OWN TERMS.

We say we are going to quit the
piano business, and quit we will.
We will accept prices that have
never been quoted before in America
on standard grade instruments. And
we will make terms of payment so
low, SO convenient for you, that it is
really shame if you continue to be
without music in your home any
longer.
There are brand new pianos of the
new 1915 models; makes that have
been on the American market for SO
to Is years. Pianos that have earned
the reputation of worlds standards,
offered now while they last at the
price usually paid for the cheap kind,
while the medium grade and cheaper
makes are going for the price you
used to pay for an ordinary parlor
organ.
Come in today, don't wait until the
cream of this stock is sold.
Out-of-town people should hurry
and write or phone us for descriptive
list and prices at once.

the aim has always been mainly to-
wards greater economical milk yield,
and when a man uses an inferior bull
on his herd he is perpetuating his
mongrel blood in the calves. No
mongrel bull was ever able to produce
a line of calves from common dams
whose milk yield records would come
anywhere near approaching those of
OF the offspring of a good pure bred
sire on the same cows.
The purchasing of pure bred bull
does not insure success unless the
purchaser has carefully examined his
pedigree for females with good pro-
duction records and at least five or
six generations should contain the
names of such females.
ThurstOn COunty's Problem.
The problem before us here in this
county calls for the introduction of
the pure bred sire and the elimina-
ton of the scrub. Select the most
promising heifers from this pure
bred and in three or four generations
the influence of the sire will be seen
to be 81 per cent and SO per cent re-
spectively of the entire herd, with the
result that the value of the increase
in milk production and the value of
his female offspring will far surpass
the price paid for him. A good pure
bred bull should not cost over $3.50,
and should increase the milk produc-
ton of his female offspring 1000
pounds, or 40 pounds of fat per COW
per year above that of their dams,
when his services can be utilized.
If you can purchase an aged bull
who has been a good breeder that is
your wisest policy, and you can then
look about for young sire with
good breeding back of him to try out
on few of your best females. If he
proves to be satisfactory he can then
succeed the old sire as head of the
herd.

avowed candidate for governor and
the harmony workers of the party
have hope that clear field can be
maintained for Lister.
With the influence of the state
tional differences and representatives
of different party wings in attendance
at the banquet, Democratic leaders
believe that the campaign can be
launched with an agreement to get to-
gether on state and national candi-
dates. So far as national politics are
concerned, there appears to be no
question but that Wilson will be en-
dorsed by the state convention.

DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEES
WILL MEET FEBRUARY 5
State Leaders to Gather at Everett
to Fix Time and Place for
Convention.

Chairman John B. Fogarty has
called meeting of the Democratic
state central committee to be held
in Everett February s, to issue a call
for Democratic state convention
for the election of delegates to the
national convention, June IA.
There have been no conferences
on convention dates, but it is prob
able the Bourbon gathering will be
held late in April or early in May.
The Republican national commit
tee ignored the customary political
practice Of permitting the party in
power to hold it's convention first and
set the date for its national conven-
ton on June Z. In this state the
Republican committee will meet a
week later than the Democrats and
also fix its state convention dates
without and reference to the action
the Democrats may take at Everett.
Olympia is trying to get the Repub-
lican convention.
Snohomish county Democrats are
making elaborate plans for a big
party banquet in Everett on the night
Of February and it is planned
to hold the committee men in town
to attend the gathering. Though
the state committee has no connec-
ton with the Snohomish county ar
rangements, the plan for the ban
quet has the approval Of State Chair
man Fogarty.
Democratic leaders will attempt
to make the Everett banquet get
together affair and, If possible, heal
some of the old-time wounds. Present
plans contemplate bringing Former
United States Senator George Turner,
Of Spokane; Gov. Ernest Lister; At
torney Thomas M. Vance, of this city,
and Judge w. w. Black, of Everett,
to the front as banquet orators and
official peacemakers.
Senator Turner Is possible candl-
date for the Democratic senatorial
nomination. He has said that he will
not accept the nomination unless it
is given him by a practically united
party. This means that peace must
be restored. or Turner will not run.
As C. G. Heifner, leader of the anti
Turner forces Of past years, is en-
gagged in big land venture in Cali
fornia, he Is not apt to be here this
year to head an anti-Turner move
ment, and the demand for peace may
be met favorably.
Judge Black has intimated he
might oppose Gov. Listers renomina-
ton, but he is being urged to accept
the congressional nomination from
the Second district. Black is not an

RECEIPTS OF GAME FUND
ARE MORE THAN DOUBLED
Output of State Hatcheries Trebled
124,9O1 Licenses Are
Issued.

Game receipt fundB OF the state
and the various counties during the
twenty and one-half months Of the
last fiscal biennium totaled $25O,071,
virtually double the $4,000 col
lections of the largest previous
full biennium, according to the bien-
NAL report Of L. H. Darwin, state
fish commissioner and ex-officio
chief game warden, to Gov. Ernest
Lister.
The output of trout from state
hatcheries, which during previous
administrations had been allowed to
drop to about 100000 per year,
during the last year was trebled, the
report indicates, showing 100000
trout eggs handled by state hatcher
les. This remarkable increase in pro-
duction. to be made still greater this
year, has been made possible through
adoption of the new policy of using
salmon hatcheries in dull seasons for
Matching trout eggs. and the opening
up Of new egg taking stations.
How great is the public interest
in the state game department and the
handling of the game fund. is indi-
Gated by the fact that during the first
year covered by the report there
were $3.50 state and county fishing
and hunting licenses issued, and dur
ing the second year 124,901.
In addition to the holders Of
licenses, considerable contributions
to the game funds were received from
law violators. The report indicates a
surprisingly large percentage Of con-
victions. With 6O7 arrests the first
year, 499 convictions were obtained,
and with go arrests the second year
there we're 1913 convictions, per-
centage Of 80 for each year.
The report shows that during the
period $4,000 was saved for the game
fund by Gov. Listers designation of
Fish Commissioner Darwin as chief
game warden, to serve without draw
ing any additional salary.
Chief Warden Darwin recommends
in his report that counties confine
their activities chiefly to game farms
for the production of game birds and
animals, leaving the state to provide
the bulk of the game fish output.
Removal of a portion of the Roose-
welt elk on the Olympic peninsula
farther south, to end present over
crowding resulting in starvation. is
recommended. The elk liberated in
the Western Cascades, it is noted,
were Joosed to close to civilization
and still constitute menace to
farmers in the Northwestern tvun-
ties.
