Herd Promises
World Record

With a complete herd of 10 Jer-
seys making herd average of
63.56 pounds of butterfat during
the month of June, a higher pro-
duetion than the world record
made by Macarthur & Stauff of
Rickreall in May, with herd of
16 cows, averaging 60.6S pounds
of butterfat, O. A. Thompson OF
Blachey, Oregon, bids fair to make
a record with his herd in the near
future, according to Charles M.
Talmadge, local agent of the Pur-
ity Serum company, who returned
from the Lane county district yes
terday.
While Mr.. Blanehey has the ad-
vantake of a smaller herd than
that of MrArthur & Stauff, two
of the cows entering in his record
are yearlings. Three sisters in the
herd stood highest in butterfat
production, according to the fig
ures which the Lane county man
gave Mr.. Talmadge, the best pro-
ducer making 1885 pounds for the
month, percentage of butterfat
of sos. The highest rate of fat
was COS per cent made by a COW
that produced 11S0.S pounds of
milk during the month, with TITO
pounds of fat.
At his present rate of produc-
tion, Mr.. Blanchey will probably
take several gold medals from the
American Jersey Cattle club, it fl
thought.

AnOther Promise Broken

TVS platform. He seems in this
respect to have promised too much
and finds he cannot deliver. Even
the Germans and Irish are dissatis-
fled for promises unified in return
for their votes cast solidly for Mr..
Harding. In the south and pivot
al border states the negroes. too,
feel that their enthusiastic support
is not being rewarded with the
recognition they were led to be-
lieye would be theirs.
Candidates frequently make too
many promises before election. 1t
is a common weakness with them,
but the present national admins
tration seems to have gone a good
deal further than usual in this re-
spect in order to make the election
doubly sure. The support received
in great blocks is at this early
date causing party leaders much
concern and no little worry be-
cause there will be elections in
the future, and promises unkept
are the ugliest arguments to meet
and the only ones that appeal to
many voters Of a republic where
universal suffrage gives every
body, male and female, black,
white or yellow, the right to vote.

would be impracticable and incon-
sistent to grant the association the

properly supervised under the ex-
listing laws of the state.
Previously the corporation de-
partment had pointed out that
the association was not in fact a
