made with Washington parties, have
been cancelled. A carload of green
pears were delivered at the Southern

templated strike take place it will

suicide in his office at McMinnville,

L. Keyt of Monmouth and formerly
lived in this city. Mr.. Keyt was well
known throughout this section of the
state. He was hop buyer, and made
many friends in this county who were

Is Statement

'If Detroit's great manufacturing
concerns demand sober foremen In
their shops--and foremen are only
commercial policemen-why should
the city not demand that its police
men stop drinking?"
This was the pertinent question
asked. Thursday. by Charles M. Car
son. factory manager OF the Cadil-
lac Motor Car Co., who has had as
much experience. probably. as any
factory manager in the country, In
the employment and managing Of
men. The Cadillac company, when

maintain discipline among that
many employees.

to do that TO create a proper ex-

IF foreman is allowed to drink
and get drunk, either on duty or
Off, without losing his job. then we
cannot expect the men under him
to be temperate. for they will say
at once: Why. our boss drinks
and why is 1t not all right for us
to do the same?'
why then, IL it is wrong for our
foremen to drink, is IL not more i'm
portant that the members of the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.--The Brit

This was the hypothesis upon

ernment that 1t will observe the
German rights over the Appam and
the German contention that she is

was expected during the day.
Vigorous and formal protest
against the expected decision was
being prepared at the British em-
bassy. Ambassador Spring Rice
planned TO Ale complaint just as
soon as the state departments posi-
ton Is formally announced. England
will demand that this government
observe The Hague convention rules
in dealing with the Appam. These
require that a belligerent. upon
bringing prize ship into a neutral
port. and when unable to hold her
al sea or take her TO n home port
must surrender her to her original
owners.
State department officials said to-
day thus far they have seen no al
tentative than TO observe the treaty
OF 1928 between Prussia and this
country. which provides that Ger.
many can bring prizes into Ameri-
can ports and vice versa.
The Hague convention, relied upon
by England. was never finally rati-
fed either by England or the United

JEALOUSY OF A DOG

In studying dog character
one will find that jealousy is
strong feature OF their natures.
If two dogs belong to one mas
ter and he pets one and neg
lects the other, the neglected
dog will bark and show his dis
pleasure in all manner of
ways.
A gentlemen had two dogs;
one was a bulldog and the 9th
er a collie. The collie was
most affectlonate in his nature
toward his master. He would
rub his nose against his hands
or any part he could touch.
He would often put his nose
between his masters legs and
draw himself through. and if
his master petted him. his cup
of JOY and pleasure was full.
He would often sit down. rest
ing his body on his legs and
feet, and look at his master
with an expression of loving
admiration almost human.
The bulldog was more bru-
sque in his exhibition OF low
atty and friendship. He had a
fashion Of resting his head on

was sitting. He often stared
