Possible Solution Seen of Problem
in Oregon.
Veterinary Says Milk Whale Can Be
Domesticated and Pacific Ocean
Would Be Farm.

Salem, Ore.-Whale milk may some
day settle the question of milk supply
for Oregon according to State Veter-
marian Lyle, who is entirely serious
in the matter.
''The milk shortage" said Mr.. Lyle,
may be swatted some day by demeS-
ticating the whale. With the whole
Pacific ocean as farm the domesti-
Gated whale would put the Oregon
dairy business on a mammoth scale.
Whales are mammals, each of which
furnishes about barrel of milk at
milking, and while at present they are
a little too shy to be exactly classed
as easy mixers, some day they will
be domesticated."
Doctor Lyle suggests placing a
sheep or two on every lawn in Oregon
as more immediate means of curing
the milk and wool shortage.
"a good sheep of long or medium
wool will give as much milk as a $40
mich goat, and it is the finest obtain
able for infants. In addition, from
Sc to So worth OF wool can be oh
tanned. II the lamb is raised, SO can
be obtained for it at three months, but,
of course, if the milk is wanted the
lamb must be sacrificed"

FORD RAISED WAGES
ONE DOLLAR PER DAY
4 L L o VI o b LIE MANUFACTURER
Is GREATEST FOE OF BOLSHEV-
ISM AND ANARCHY

editorial in the Gainesville, Georgia
Herald, January 30th)
Henry ford seems to know very lit
tie about the value of money Many
Americans could teach him.
He made ships for the government
to fight submarines. An investigation
started by gentlemen who do not like
Mr.. Ford's methods brings out the
fact that Ford was the only contractor
who put his own money for the ex-
pense for the government work. Also
that Ford wanted his company to do
the work at cost, with no profit This
wasn't allowed under government
rules.
Thereupon Ford. who owns fifty
eight per cent of the Ford company,
gave up all of his share of the profit
on the Eagle boats and other govern
ment work, which amounts to some
millions.
The other day he raised the pay of
his $4,000 men one dollar a day each,
making the minimum pay $500 in
stead of $500 per day. This means
giving to his $4,000 workmen more
than $8,000,000 a year in increase pay.
If the Ford habit could spread. it
would be hard on the Bolshevist and
other radical leaders-they wouldn't
have anything to talk about. But men
unlike Ford will keep Bolshevism
alive N

DEARY MEETING
FAv0Rs ROAD WORK
MUCH ENTHUSIASM SHOWN AT
GOOD ROADS MEETING HELD
AT DEARY SATURDAY

1t was certainly a representative
gathering of farmers that assembled
at Curtiss hall last Saturday after
noon to discuss the road question
The proceedings were brisk and full
of interest and showed that the en-
tire district is unit in the good roads
movement. A motion to create a
highway district was carried by a
unanimous vote, and petitions were at
once started to secure the necessary
signatures.
1t was brought out during the dis
cussion that the entire supervision of
will be in the hands of three com
missioners, who will be elected by the
people Of the district. The county
board will be without jurisdiction so
far as road work is concerned. Money
to use on the roads raised in the or
binary methods of taxation will be
paid in the usual process, but will be
administered by the commissioners
chosen within the district.
In addition to the regular taxes
the district will receive its automo-
bile licenses, which in this case is
more than $4,000 annually.
The dominant idea at Saturdays
meeting was to start a movement to
improve road conditions IN all parts
of the district. There is no notion
of giving any one section the advant-
age over another, and should such a
sentiment develop in any. particular
community, it will be promptly
squelched. The main idea back of the
is the improvement of all
the roads, so that in time the dis

readers full information concerning
