COUNTY AGENTS
NOTES

Team Work for the Dairymnn
The big strides ahead along dairy
lines both In production and manu-
featuring have come as a result OF
cooperation or team work on the
part OF the dairymen combined with
the application OF accurate knowl-
edge. Better stock has been secured.
poor cows weeded out, yields increas-
ed. better products made, creameries
and cheese factories started, more
money secured for products through
dairy farmers getting together and
acting as unit In carrying out con-
structlve plans. The interests OF
one dairyman In a community is, In
the essentials. the interest OF all
and In unity there Is strength. The
dairy industry In any community
where dairying has place can be
developed and made more profitable
through team work.
J. ID. Micklc. state dairy and food
commissioner. has given much study
to these questions and he has a
message for every dalryman. He is
a loyal friend OF the dairyman and
a magnetic speaker.
County Agent Thompson has Sc
cured Mr.. Mickle and Prof. Fits. or
o. A. c. for special dairy meeting
to be held In the court house. March
Z. The meeting opens at 1890.
Talks along the line OF feeding and
handling OF dairy cattle as well as
marketing OF dairy products viii be
given.
Additional meetings along similar
lines win be held each month until
June. Secure program from Mr..
Thompson at Grants Pass.

ANSWER, YES Oh NO

Down at Grants Pass. the local
council of defense employed a short
and exceedingly direct questionable
to a counterfeit preacher who was
trying to use the cloak of Christian
religion to hide seditious speech.
Before they would consent to per-
mitting him to make scheduled
address. they demanded yes or no
answer. without debate, to the fol-
lowing questions:
Are you member of the Red
Cross! Il
Are you a subscriber to the Lib
erty loan?
Have you purchased thrift stamps
or savings certificates?
Are you whole-heartedly and un-
reservedly backing the governments
war program?
He answered mo" to all four
questions, and that summarily ended
his public activities at the county
seat OF Josephine county, Oregon.
Answers to these four questions
are a perfectly fair test Of the right
Of any person to live in the United
States and enjoy the protection of
the Stars and Stripes. No man or
woman who can not answer at least
one OF the questions in the affirm
ative is fit TO live in America as long
as the war lasts. Extreme poverty
is valid excuse for answering mo-
to the first three questions, but no
one is so poor as not to be able to
give the government moral support.
This test is a most searching test.
Even those who are able to answer
the first three questions affirmative
ly are lacking in Americanism If
they can not say that they are
whole-heartedly and unreservedly
backing the governments war pro-
gram. Evening Telegram.

LOCAL HEBREWS PLAN PALESTINE CAMPAIGN
Hope to Raise $2,8oo For Work of
 Sc Restoration.

After two thousand years of waiting and hope, the opportunity is at hand to re-establish the Jewish state in Palestine, the ancestral home of Jew. ish people.
 The modern movement of the Jew ish people towards Palestine, first found vocal expression in the adoption of the Basic Programme by the First Zionist congress, held in August. 1897. Since that time forty eight Jewish colonies have been established in the Holy Land. In them assturdy and fn- dependent Jewish population has grown up. with Hebrew as it's language. with it's own educational system and with In short new Jewish civilization has taken firm root in Palestine. The Jewish pioneers have thus dem- onstrated the validity of their ideal and the practicabiIity of the Basic pro- gramme. The Zionist organization has met this situation by creating the Pales- tine Restoration fund, and calls upon l aH Jews to cooperate in the raising oi the first instainnentIone million dol | lars.
 The quota for the Norwich Jews is
 s2000 and they will endeavor to raise
 this amount among themselves a51t
 among their Gentle sympathizers. Al.
 ready $500 has been raised in Norwich | for this fund and a more intense eff fort will be made in the near future
 Later there will be another campaign for even a greater amount
 The money contributed :, the funt
 ia to be devoted to rehibilitate tn Jewish settlements and institutions fl Palestine, and facilitate their continu
 ed development and extension and t
 prepare for the finaa establishment o the Jewish homeland To continue and expand the work 0 the| Zionist organization, here an l abroad, to enable it to realize it's air
 -theage-iong hope of the Jewish peo pie.
 ] In carrying out these aims the fun ! will be used to help maintain the ex isting Jewish settlements and institu , tions in Palestine, and to repatriat
 Palestine refugees, expelled during tn war, and to maintain the schools i !, Palestine, educational and agricultur . al. To make loans to prospective col tonists. farmers and business men the new settlements.
 To support the Zionist Bureau i Palestine, which is the sdistributin ageney for Palestinean funds and tn
