RIVALS RISING
FOR DA|RYMEN

WASHINGTON, Mar. 5.-Canada
and Argentina may soon prove seri-
Gus competitors of the United States
in the dairy industry, government
officials believe. The industry in
both countries is in its infancy, yet
Canada is producing 20 per cent as
much cheese and IL per cent as much
butter as the United States, while
Argentina is producing IS per CEN
as much cheese and sever per cent
as much butter. Canada's butter ex-
ports were Al per cent as large as
those of the United States, while her
cheese exports greatly exceeded ex-
ports from the United States. Argen-
'tina's butter exports we're double
those of the United States and her
chess exports equalled 80 per cen
of those of the United States.
1t is generally believed, officials
say, that Argentina and Canada are
capable of extensive development of
their industries and it is probable,
therefore, hat the United States may
experience in the future particularly
energetic competition. Argentina,
II days distant from New York,
they say, may not be thought of seri-
ously at this time as a direct COM
petitor in the domestic market, but
Indirectly Argentine butter may sup
plant Canadian butter in the Eng
lish market, in which last Canadian
butter would find a logical outlet In
the United States.
Canada is in a better position to-
day in the worlds markets with her
butter and cheese than is the United
States, officials declare. Moreover,
Canada's policy with her returned
soldiers and immigrants toward land
development is bringing results
which eventually will mean larger
production.
In the United States available
lands are scare and all lands geuer-
ally expensive. 1t is reasonable to
believe, government scientists saw.
that in the future production will
not increase in proportion to tho
population, as the greater part of the
really productive land is now uti-
lied. Resumption of the importa-
ton Of European butter is again CIV
Ing real competition to our products.

AMERICANS LEAD
in USE OF OIL

LONDON, Feb. 12.-(By Mail.)-
Americans are a long way ahead of
US in the use of oil fuel for ships"
said j. H. Williams, an expert on
marine engineering, at a recent
meeting Of the Institute of Marine
Engineers. There is hardly an
American ship coming over today
that is not burning OIL" he proceed
ed. To-day for shipping there is not
the slightest doubt that oil is a
cheaper fuel than coal. There are
many ports today where oil is half
the price OF coal. In South America
oil is displacing coal very rapidly.
Oil a be obtained out east in prac-
every big port. Wherever coal
is dear, oil will displace it. We are
IL we use coal today. As
men, we should use oil,
which is coming into its own and has
a tremendous future.

When Hog Island was going at top

What Is to become to Hog Island
Ia the great problem confronting the
owners OF the yard. Recently the
United States Shipping Board took
over the title to the ground. Phila'
delphia has been urged to take over
the yard and continue II either ms n

a great terminal. Efforts to interest
the state have also been made. but
the amount OF money required to
buy the great plant has been a STUN
bling block. II was proposed that
the state purchase the 900 acres
with two miles OF water front and
lease them out to manufacturing and
other concerns.

breaking year for 1920. Thousands
Of people who never had any money
heretofore to spend for travel. have
recently acquired substantial bank
balances and are using some Of their
n~ewly-gained wealth for pleasure.
Most OF these people are buying au-
tomobiles and are touring the coup.
try in them. They form the great
bulk Of automobile campers.
The automobile camper during the
summer Of 1920 is going to be a
tremendous problem in Oregon.
There is no city or town on or near a
main highway which should not es-
tablish some kind of automobile
camp site for these motor tourists.
A great many of the larger cities In
the western states have established
elaborate motor cities" or automo-
bile camp grounds equipped with
every convenience such as electric
stoves for cooking, running water,
electric lights, shower baths and 9th
err comforts.
The United States Forest Service
has also laid aside certain portions
of the National Forests for camps
for autOists.
The motor tourist II segregated In
these parking places becomes less a
menace to a community than II he
is allowed to roam at will and amp
wherever he pleases. He is less apt
to be the cause of a treacherous for
est fire.
Likewise, kept in n particular

asset to your community because he

his leisure hours on the long voyage
to India that he developed ths idea
which resulted In the invention Of the
revolver. He made model NJ wood
