In every patriotic drive his record
was a hundred per cent or better.
When he was called upon to tight
en- his belt and save the wheat and
meat that he himself had produced
that humanity could be fed he did his
bit without stinting.
When he was called upon to give
up his son to stop the Hun he did
not say they were necessary to his
business; his wife and daughters
volunteered to put on oYeralls in
their place.
When peace came he had done all
that man could individually to pro-

He has made an honest effort to

too much TO say that no industry has
absorbed more returned soldiers
than agriculture.

PEDIGREE AND FEED RATION Of
THE NEW WORLD RECORD COW

Lulu was bred by j. NJ. Dickson G.
Son OF Shedd, Ore, and purchased
by Mr.. Van Kleek when still a calf.
Her sire is st. Mawers Of Ashburn,
a bull of Ed Cary breeding, carrying
the blood of both St. Mawer and Ro-
saire's Olga Lad. Her dam, Vida
I'd, Is a daughter of G. G. Chief,
thus uniting the two greatest pro-
ducing strains of Jerseys in the west,
IL not in the word, and proving the
possibilities OF that combination.
During her test Lulu was retested
every month by a different person.
One month the assistant professor of
dairy h~usbandry Of the Washington
State College at Pullman, and a
mother, a professor from the Cali
fornia Agricultural college at Davis;
the next one from the University of
Idaho, did the retesting.
Wayne A. Van Kleek, son Of the
owner of the COW, who had personal
supervision and care Of Lulu, deserv-
es much Of the credit for the wonder
full record, He allowed nothing to
interfere with the feeding and milk
ing at regular times; but he and his
father and all members Of the family
at all times took the deepest interest
in the little COW and her record, and
Mr.. VanKleek always advised as to
her feeding as we'll as care. Her
method OF feeding and rations, as
reported by the younger VanKleek,

The amount of money which a bow

At the Eastern States Exposition at
Springfield, Mass, in September,
was a club camp to which came 222

won by superior work in their local

That club work makes for more

the educational record of the 222 at

Figures bear out the fact that Glib

and encourages business ability,

APPLE CANKER INVADES

European apple canker, called the
worst fruit tree disease in Europe,
has been found on 0egon apple trees,
reports DR.. s. NJ. Zeller, assistant
plant pathologist at the O.A.C. ex-
pertinent station. The new disease
appeared on red cheek pippin trees
in the Willamette valley, and on
Bismarck, bellflower and delicious
trees in the coast district. 1t is also
appearing on the native oak, and
every effort should be made to pre-
vent its spread, DR.. Zeller says:
Newtons, Spitzenburgs and other
leading valley varieties are evidently
lot susceptible.

we hope that you viii take the init
iatiye and see that the majority OF
your farmers want this done. The
time Of the year to begin is somewhat
of a question, it will probably not be
too early to begin in February or
March at the very latest when the
squirrels are just coming out Of the
ground. The poison will be assem-
bled according to plans prepared by
the rodent control committees and
will be handled absolutely at cost.
1t is anticipated that a gallon of
poison grain can be furnished for
probably rs cents. Think this over

Bella Kun Falls.

Dispatches from Vienna and Buda-
pest confirm the earlier reports of the
overthrow OF BELA KUN and his Gov
eminent and the end of the Hunga-
rian experiment with Soviet rule. This
change has been brought about by the
determination Of the Allies to restore
order to Hungary and the growth In

The dissatisfaction with B1A

to reconcile the two rival factions
Of Communists and Socialists and

city Of Budapest and the few towns

cialists opposed him because he did
not maintain order in Hungary and
could not establish a government with
which the Conference at Paris would
enter into negotiations.
In addition BELA KUN had under

Needless Airplane RIsks.

On the main route from Greensboro
Bridge to Long Beach for all auto

nrtery of travel there have been set
up two temporary establishments that
are engaged In the business of in
Producing venturesome civilians to the
Joys Of flying at comparatively mod

quarters have no bizarre physical en-
bellishments such as are associated
with imaginative stories Of the future
Of flying craft They are purely
unitarian, each consisting of a can
vas hangar, an airplane of the "two

Eerous than such an outfit when fits

But, Judged by some recent exhibit

they are the potential sources of a

One Of these flying men was OBJ

the narrow road leading directly to

sort. Not content with flying over
the adjoining fields, he repeatedly

tion In his control Of the most aristo-
cratic art In the theatre. Here the
inevitable showmanship Of the director
continually asserted Itself He was
above ell democratic. Controlling an
aristocratic diversion, he was yet for

Conditions favored his early years
Of direction of the theatre There
were In Paris new and unknown
operas such as CHARpENTrER's
LOUISE" DEBUssY's "Pelleas ct Nell
sande." MAssENEr's "Thais," the half
forgotten "Contes d'Hoftmann" of
OFTErBAcH. The nature of these
works suited them well to the re-
stricted spaces Of the audience room
in Thirty-fourth street Not only did
the genius Of French composers, IN
familiar here, come to the aid Of the
manager. In such artists of the
French lyric stage as Macy CAMDEN,
BREssLER-GIANoII and MAURICE RE
MAUD there were new revelations for
his public But It Is doubtful IL there
was ever as much applause for any
Of these as there was for OSCAR HAM
srEBsTErN himself when he appeared
on the stage to share with his artists
the honors Of a premiere.
The personality Of the manager
stirred the affection Of his public.
Dark days came when the worthy
novelties Of the French repertoire had
been exhausted and ambition had mis-
led the manager into such distant
fields as London and Philadelphia.
There was sympathy for the impresa-
rio who alone had risked so much in
a field Of amusement which always
before him demanded as an Inevitable
condition OF existence stockholders in
its background. But there was no
support for the man who had accom-
plished so much in broadening the op-
cratic horizon In this country. HAM
srERsTErN was capable Of lofty ambi-
tons and splendid realizations as
well as Of abysmal violations of taste.
But he was above all the impreario
Of the people. known, loved and ap-
preciated by them as no man Of the
theatre had ever been in this country
before, and he possessed an indomi-
table spirit Of artistic enterprise.

Chairman WILL H. HAYS of the
Republican National Committee has
declined his party's nomination for
Governor of Indiana, a nomination
which carried with It as fair a prom
ise Of election as any such promise can
DO In politics. To be Governor OF a
great and growing State like Indiana
is high honor and a high opportu-
nifty for man to renounce; to be the
nominee of a great party for that
honor and opportunity confers distinc-
don which any man in this country
may honorably covet.
1t was not disinclination for public
life which Influenced Chairman HAYS
In reaching his decision to forego the
chance offered to him to serve his
State and his country as Governor of
Indiana, but his conviction that his
present duty lies in the party office
he now holds, an office Of great power,
of greater responsibility and Of para
mount importance In the existing cir
cumstances of national politics and
international relations. Republican
solidity, stability and unity are to-day
OF supreme consequence to the United
States and all its people whatever
their political affiliations may be or
may have been. The man who, as
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, can harmonic the ele-
ments Of the Republican party, induce
Its leaders in widely separated States
to work theoretically together, ignor-
Ing all personal prejudices for the
public good, has task and a field Of
useful labor second 10 no other.
To the suggestion that he might
perform the functions of Governor
while acting as chairman of the Ma
tional Committee Mr.. HAYS has re-
piled with an emphatic no. With In
terests and obligations divided, in
neither office could he display that
100 per cent. efficiency each requires
from a conscientious man. Under
such an arrangement Mr.. HAYS, with
his extraordinary capacity for work,
might be able to satisfy the demands
OF his friends, but he would not be
able to attain the standard Of ac-
complishment his own exacting mind
sets for himself.
Mr.. HAYS has chosen unselfishly,
wisely and periodically. He has Sc
lected a harder Job. but 1t is the big
ger job, and the sacrifice of personal
advancement he has made will add
to his already high and constantly
enlarging reputation as a director of
politics in the highest sense of that
often abused term.
