THE HYRUM
JERSEY BREEDING
ASSOCIATION

An organization of far reaching in
fluence In improving the quality of
Jersey cows and in making In dairy
ing more profitable is the Hyrum
Jersey Breeding Association organic
ed last week. This association is
one Of the first of its kind In the
West. and has for It's purpose the up
grading and improving the dairy
herds OF Its members. This is ac-
complished through the cooperative
ownership. use. and exchange Of
high class pure bred sires.
The Hyrum Jersey Breeding Asso-
citation organized with four blocks or
sections. each block being supplied
with purebred Jersey sire Of ex-
cellent breeding. Three Of the as
ISOLATION bulls are from the well
known w. c. Winder herd. Of Salt
Lake City. The average production
Of the three dams OF these bulls ex-
ceeds 500 pounds of butter. The
fourth bull was formerly In service
at the Agricultural College herd and
and he already has a number Of
very good daughters. The plan calls
for an exchange of these sires be-
tween the different blocks every year.
Advantages Of this association lie
In the fact that with an investment
In only one animal. each member will
In time have the use Of every sire
Ia the associations without additional
expense. Again, these sires will be
kept In the community until their
j true worth as breeders. as shown by
the production of their daughters, Is
known. The association sires that
prove their ability to stamp their Off
spring with superior dairy qualities
will thus be saved to the community
and used for the entire period OF
their usefulness.
| These associations are proving Of
great value to communities where
they are located, not only as men,
toned above. but also Is stimulating
interest In community dairying In
general.

known Gem Jersey Farm. secretary

The association has been capitalize
ed at $500. this Just covering the
value Of the four bulls owned by the
association. In order to allow small
herds to come into the association
on an equitable basis with larger
herds. shares have been issued at
IS. per share, members purchasing
one share for each COW or heifer OF

tors is composed of the president, A.

It is to be elected will be slightly diff
ferent. The first difference Is one
that has been effected In difference
to general public opinion. The old
bodies undoubtedly were far too big
for the effective transaction Of busi-
ness. and the result was that they
actually transacted an irreducible
minimum of business. The second
is a difference that has been sug-
gested by the composition OF the old
Legislature. and It is to be admitted
that 1t will tend to make the body
more conservative. This. however.
is no disadvantage. for the late par
lament was far too radical to be q
safe body. The new body will not
have quite the same powers in the
drafting of the constitution as the
old body had, and this also is gain.
II IL almost without precedent for
the Legislature to be entrusted with
the drafting Of the constitution.
1t il not. however. in the statutory
differences that II may be anticipat-
ed the chief change will be found.
The new parliament will come into
being with all the advantages Of the
disastrous experience Of . predeces-
sor that had not the wisdom to learn
from its own mistakes and II Is hard
ly conceivable that the new body
will be guilty Of the same blunders.
The country is In no mind for re-
petition Of the inanities of the twice
dismissed parliament. and II is to be
hoped that the country's temper will
show itself in the elections. Even
from the most truculent parts II is
not likely that very truculent men,
bers will be elected, and IL they are.
they will probably find the general
temper Of the body in which they
will sit different from their own.
The importance Of the new legis-
lature 1t is impossible to overesti-
mate. Presidents may come and pres
idents may 60; prime ministers may
follow their example; and cabinets
may be as short lived as they please,
but in democracy the main repre-.
sentative body il the essential part
Of the national machinery. Its alb.
sence for short time may be unim.
portant. but 1t Is the one defense
against lapse into unnAtigated au.
tocracy. and as such IL indispens.

An event of exceptional char
acter is the-appearance of Frieda
Hempel, brilliant star of the
Metropolitan Grand Opera, at the
Tacoma theater Thursday even
ing, under the direction of Bernice
+. Newell.
Miss Hempel comes to the coast
for the first time, after an un-
usual season at the Metropolitan,
where she appeared in stellar
roles % times in Is weeks, each
appearance being a positive tri-
umph. She has just closed Sc
ries of successful concerts in San
Francisco, and will sing in Port
land Wednesday night, coming to
Tacoma for her last engagement
of the Northwestern tour. Gen.

a party of guests, will occupy
one of the upper boxes.

lis a crack infielder but is weak
with the stick.
The inimitable George Sisler
will, of course. play first. Other
infield possibilities are Pete Johns
and Walter Gerber.
The outfield presents another
problem. Jones picked up good
hitting outfielder, in Tim Hendrix
and probably will play him with
Kenneth Williams and Earl Smith.
Roy Demmitt is another POSSIBLE
ity. Demmitt has been up before,
but has always seemed to lack
something.
Altogether the Browns present
the big puzzle of the league.
There's a lot of offs" connected
with how they will finish. II
Jones pitchers pan out anything
like they dope out now and If he
can patch up the second base hold
with the material at hand, he
should break into the first di-
vision.

Yankees last year and is a very
fair prospect. He declares his
arm this year is in the best shape
OF his career.
Jones has a strong catching
staff. There are few receivers in
the league who have anything on
SEVERED, either mechanically or
as a handler of pitchers.
Fielder Jones' big problem
comes in his infield. He must
develop second base ocm-
binatiOn out of u pair of fail
ures or from recruits.
Joe Gedeon will probably be
called upon to play second base.
Gedeon is a fast, clever infielder.
but his batting average usually is
a scandal. Fritz Maisel, who has
fielded miserably since he was in
jured couple of seasons ago,
probably will start at short.
At third the veteran Jimmie
Austin will be seen again. Austin

EAGLES BOXING
CARD GOING TO
BE FASTEST YET

And for the added event,
|Shanklin has signed Joe Hill, the
hard-hitting Tacoma feather
weight who Is now in the medical
corps at Fort Lawton, to meet
Irving Gleason, Chet McIntyre's
pet. Gleason won the amateur
championship in the feather class,
IN the A. A. U. contests sponsor
ed by the Seattle Athletic club,
and is a lightning fast boxer. He
is now under the wing OF Chef
Mcintyre, and is in perfect condi-
ton. Joe Hill, who is cooking for
the medical corps and is keeping
in fine shape, has been making a
record the past year by his box
ing.
The entire card promises as
much action, il not more, as the
last Eagles card produced. And
If any fan didn't get enough
action from that card, he never
will get enough. They don't
make 'em any better!

pitchers and Byron Houck, George
Claim Rogers and LET. Leifield as
relief men.
1t is a good pitching staff if
Jones can get the best out of it.,
Lowdermilk should be one of the
great pitchers of the game. His
one fault has been that he lacked
contlDl. 1t is said that Lowder-
milk learned control while work
ing for Joe Tinker at Columbus
last year.
Two years ago Nick Cullop was
one of the best southpaws in the
American league. Last year he
was not so successful, but he is
young and may come around.
Allen Sothoron started 1917 more
promising that any recruit in the
league, but as the team went to
pieces he gradually lost his eff
fectiveness. Davenport is a great
pitcher when he is right. Shocker
looked very promising with the

George Shanklin, matchmaker

an eye can see by the program

card Is going to be as fast as any

For the main event is the coast

In looking over the roster of
the st. Louis Browns this year,
the student of baseball will find
one of the most puzzling situa-
tions any major league club has
presented for years.
The reason for this is a number
of winter trades which makes the
Browns a very different club from
that which finished the season
last year.
Containing several stars of the
first magnitude. the Browns also
presens some very weak features
and it remains to be seen what
the management of Fielder Jones
can do to patch up these weak
nesses.
1t is likely Jones will start the
season with Urban Sh0cker, Allen

For School Boys

days, until the new sports can
adjust themselves to the seasons.
Wrestling is over, the final meet
having been staged last week.
Indoor swimming is taboo at
both schools because OF the quar-
antine placed over the tanks, and
baseball has not yet been inaug-
urated.
The diamond game will begin
in a few days or so, as soon as the
warm sun begins to thaw out Old

outdoor exercise will get all the
sport they want.
