Homeless Children
Returned to Russia
By Red Cross Aid

Tokio.--The American Red Cross of
Siberia, directed by DIR. r. B. Tuesler
of Toxic, has completed arrangements
for the transportation of 761 Petrogra :,
school children from Vladivostok to
their former homes in soviet Russia.
The children, boys and girls, were ex-
pected to embark at Vladivostok for
Riga on a chartered steamer, the
Yomei-Maru.
The steamer is new 10,6S5-ton
freighter and must be refitted to carry
100 persons, including the teachers.
attendants and Red Cross personnel.
The entire voyage via the Panama
canal, is expected to require 80 days
before the ship is returned TO it's own
ers at London and the voyage costing
about 100000 will bring the outlay
of the Red Cross in caring for the
children up to nearly s1,000,000.
The boys and girls are some of the
5000 children who were sent out OF
Petrograd' in the troublesome times
of 1918 and were found scattered In
Siberian cities. Most Of the others
have disappeared-one of the silent
tragedies of Russia
When the Red Cross started to dis
continue it's work in Siberia, it was
decided to return the children to Pet
rograd in the hope that they might
find their former homes.

Hop Pickers To
Be Paid Higher
Than Last Year

1ndependence, Or, Aug. Hop
vrowers in this vicinity have agreed to
nav 10 cents this year for picking.
Tb;s is ten cents above the price paiu
last year and twenty cents higher than
was paid at any previous year in the
history of the industry in Independ-
ence Growers believe that they will
have no trouble to get pickers unde-
tbe present rate offered for picking.

largest growers in oregon. "have been
said on contract, and these grower
will make nothing from the product

not in full bearing" he said, "on ac-
count of then ew planting, and the
acreage as a whole will not be as great
this year as in former years, but by
another season the acreage will come
M to the standard in this part of the
valley"
Picking will begin about the same
time as usual, September 1. Most OF
the growers have been spraying their
hops during the past week or more
and the lice which appeared quite con-
spcuously the early part of July, have
been killed. Hops as a rule are very
good this year. The weather is favor
able at present and everything points
to successful season for the growers.

Meat Output
Shows Falling Off
Of Fine Percent

Washington.-Mea production in
tie United States during the first SIX
months of 1920 as compared with the
first half of 1919 shows a decrease Oh
aboat S per cent, which amounts to
several hundred million pounds, ac-
corning to a statement issued by the
Institute of American Meat Packers.
The statement adds that producers lost
money on cattle during nearly every
one Of the preceding six months, and
that many packers report losses on
beef.
The figures are based on the slaugh-
ter ofanimals at the sixty-nine primes
pal markets and indicate probable
decrease during the first six months OF
more than 400,000,000 pounds, and
nearly 1,OO0,OO0,oO0 pounds if the

however, that SO far as domestic sup
plies are concerned the decrease Will
be somewhat counteracted by a like
decrease in exports.
Prices of hogs and pork produces
are substantially lower than at this

London Papers Say
That Shipping Bill
Is Discriminatory

London.-The Jones bill, character
lied as Americas bid for shipping
supremacy" is denounced by the ship
ping expert Of the Sunday Observer as
"retaliatory and discriminating"
He declares that the war has taught
other nations the Importance of own
ing a mercantile marine and that jeal-
ousy has been aroused throughout the
world by the ability and magnifi-
cence" of the British mercantile estab-
lishment. 'In two countries" he as
serts, 'in particular, is a feeling of
most bitter jealousy against our mer-
camille marine. There two countries
are France and the United States"
The writer DECLARES that there is
nothing to which foreigners can object
in the principal provisions of the Jones
bill insofar as it is intended to coordA-
nate the transport resources Of the
United States whether ocean, coast
wise or inland shipping, railways, ports
and docks SO as to form on immenAs'
undertaking to force American export
and import trade into the holds of
American ships.
He says, however, that some of the
clauses of the bill were intended to be
discriminatory against Great Britain
and Japan. Among these he mentions
those which authorize preferential
treatment to American vessels in Amer
lean ports. The insurance provisions
of the bill, he says, impose the most
drastic forms of returns, (which are
based absolutely upon the methods OF
the German insurance companies
against which America herself protest
ed so bitterly previous to her entry in
60 the war. These have been devised
admittedly for the purpose of learning
foreign companies with view to pass,
ing the same on to American concerns
| The object of course is that, having
this information, the governmnt may
oust the American company entirely to
assist British insurance.
"In the same vein is the clause
which valves in favor of American in

As grass makes up the bulk of feed
for geese, it is doubtful whether 1t
pays to raise them unless good grass
range is available during the summer.
The hen that has free range on a
farm in summer finds these same
things and that is one reason why neg
lected farm flocks lay well in summer
and very poorly at other times.
The results found by experiment
seem to prove the contention of some
Leghorn breeders that their birds are
light eaters in comparison with some
other breeds.
II a good lot of well-matured pullets
or well-moulted early hens are on
hand, and If they are healthy and
vigorous, all that is required to obtain
a good egg yield is the right kind OF
care and feed.
There is no one kind of grain thai
alone will furnish all of the different
food elements required to maintain
the body of the hen in good condition
and also furnish the material Of which
eggs are made.
