A NEW CALENDAR

The movement toward improving

friends. A congressional bill is un.

international conference on the sub.
ject, and various prominent organ.
izations have expressed their ap.

1t is planned to divide the year
into 10 months Of % days each. The
extra day making up the 1856 would

served as a holiday. The extra day
Of the leap year would be an inter
national holiday and come sometime
when the weather was favorable for
outdoor. amusements, as in June or
July. The new 18th month would be
inserted between June and July.
Under this plan every fixed festival
would fall not only upon the same
date each year but upon the same
day OF the week, and calculations
could be simplified accordingly.
II the advocates of the new calen-
dar can put 1t through, the majority
of mankind will probably be passive
on the subject. The world in gen.
eral might show more interest In an
equally sensible standardization Of
methods for using time, however d.
vided, more impartially for the bene-
fit OF all who labor under the sun.

Spencer is a great booster for this
particular section as he believes that
the excellent feed produced there and
the favorable climate will aid in pro-
ducing strong, vigorous animals. He
already has good market for his
milk at premium over any other,
due to it's superior quality, and he
feels that with the abundance of al
falfa in Idaho he can aid in supply
ing some of the demand for Guern-
seys and Guernsey products. There
is a very great demand developing,
among the dairymen who are supply
ing milk to all the coast cities, for
grade Guernseys to improve the quail
ity Of their milk.

Government Costs Rise

Recent figures made public by the
census bureau Of the U. s. Depart
ment of Commerce disclose that the
cost of conducting state governments
has more than doubled since 1919
and has almost quadrupled since
1918. An analysis of the reports
made by The Budget, periodical
published by the National Budget
Committee of Washington, D. G., in
dicates that unless the tenency to
spend extravagantly is checked, the
4S states are headed for bankruptcy
within 20 years.

TWO of the most interesting relics
: of the Napoleon family are,
strange to say, in the possession Of
little known church in Philadelphia,
Pa. It is the Church of St. Peter,
and the treasures are two brass can
dlesticks, once the property Of Joseph
Bonaparte.
When the great Napoleon was in
his heyday and was handing out
kingdoms like Christmas cards to his
friends, he made brother Joseph
King of Naples and King Of Spain.
In 1903 Joseph thought he would
be safer in Bordentown, N. j., Spain
being politically inclement at that
time.
The candlesticks came from Toseph's
house into the possession of the Sims
family and later were given to the
church. They are a tribute to the
enduring nature of the metal, its
mellow color, and the facility with
which it lends itself to perfection Of
detail and workmanship,

TILLS, worms, filters and other
y copper paraphernalia of the
manufacturing booze merchant

@ ILLS, worms, filters and other
y copper paraphernalia of the
manufacturing booze merchant
are being turned into Christmas
presents this year. This is through
an arrangement made recently be-
tween U. S. Marshal A. c. Sittel,
custodian of stills seized by prohibi-
ton agents in Los Angeles, CAL,
and the disabled war veterans of the
Arrowhead Hospital.
Many of the crippled ex-service
men have been learning to work in
metal and have achieved high de-
gress of skill in making useful and
beautiful articles for Christmas sale
from copper. When a truck load of
conhscated copper was sent to them
they saw way to make their own
Christmas plans possible and at the
same time provide lot of delightful
gifts to be disposed of through their
friends. The Federal judges had
ordered the stills destroyed and the
marshal found an ingenius solution
of the whole matter.
The soldiers have been turning
out copper gifts at a great rate.

"Ka-chung," meaning small lake,
was the original Indian name for
Lake Union, which forms a part Of
Seattle's land-locked freshwater har-
Dor, according to the book on "The
Origin of Washington Geographic
Names, by Professor Edmond S.
Meany Of the University of Wash
ington.
The present name, Lake Union,
was suggested by the pioneers as
early as 1854, Professor Meany says,
when the connection of Puget Sound
with Lake Washington by means of
canal was first dreamed Of.
I'm 1861" Professor Meany says,
Harvey Pike began to dig canal
with pick and shovel. The next
year the Lake Washington Canal
Company was organized, and about
Is years later a small canal was
completed in order that logs could
be floated from one lake to the
other. After years Of agitation, the
federal government undertook the
work of building ship canal. Its
completion was celebrated July 4,

Lake Geneva, according to Professor
Meany.
1t was named after the famous lake
in Switzerland by Isaac N. Ebey in
1851, Professor Meany says, but the
name Geneva did not endure. The
railroad surveys under Governor
Isaac l. Stevens, beginning in 1853,
produced a map showing Lake Du-
vanish" In the lower left hand
corner of the same map is supple
mentary sketch by A. w. Tinkham
Of route through Snoqualmie Pass
to Seattle. 1t is dated January, 1854,
and the lake is shown as "At-sar-kal
lake." Those two names give an
honor to the Duwamish tribe and also
sought to record the Indian name for
the lake.
In the same year, 1854, the pio-
neers of Seattle held picinc, at
which Thomas Mercer suggested that
the large lake be given the name of
Washington, and the smaller one
Union, because by 1t the waters
would be united with those Of Puget
Sound. One year before, Congress
had established and named Washing
ton territory. The suggested name
for the lake was approved at the
picnic, but the pioneers published no
map.
Preston's map of Oregon and
Washington west Of the Cascade
Mountains, dated 1856, shows "Du-
vanish lake." The same name ap-
pears on the map by the surveyor
general OF Washington Territory,
dated 1857. In 1858, George David
son, OF the United States Coast Sur
vey, in his Directory for the Pacific
Coast Of the United States" men
lions Lake Washington. After that
the name soon found it's way on all
charts and maps. Another Duwamish
Indian name "It-how-chug," said to
mean large lake." was used as late
as 1895.

Guernsey Herd on Prairie View Ranch

Guernsey Herd on Prairie View Ranch
Mr. Craig l.. Spencer who is head
of the Buckley Logging Company,
and owns one of the largest fir We
neer mills in the world, has recently
become interested in Guernsey cat
tie. He has purchased "a head and
placed them on his Prairie View
Ranch at Grangeville, Idaho.
Mr. Spencer was very fortunate in
his various purchases for his founda-
ton, as he secured animals from
some Of the best Guernsey herds in
the Northwest. His first carload
came from the Ruby Dell and Fern
dale Farm herds in the Yakima Val
ley.
These herds. were not only noted
for their high production and popular
blood lines, but they had excellent
show records winning many prizes
in some of the best shows in the
West. The latter herd was the home
of Edna of Mountain View, COW
that made record of 16,151.6 pounds
of milk and 933.O5 pounds of butter
fat as 4-year-and-a-half-old. This
COW sold at public auction for $780,
The herd sire of this herd was Chi
coma Lover Bold, one of the great
est show bulls of the Northwest. He
is by Langwater Traveller, the sire
of the recent worlds record 3-year
and-one- half-old Guernsey. Many of
the animals purchased by Mr.. Spen-
Ger were in calf to this bull.
The second carload was purchased
at the Northwestern Guernsey Breed
ers' Sale, held in Portland at the
time of the 1923 Pacific International
Stock Show. This lot was made up
of animals from such noted herds as
Chicona Farms at Chinook, Wash;
Fircrest Farms at Lynden, Wash;
River Banks Farm at Grants Pass,
Ore.; Thousand Springs Farms, Wen
dell, Idaho, and Glover Hill Farms,
Deer Island, Ore. Among the lot
was former Junior champion at the
Pacific International Stock Show.
To head this excellent herd Mr..
Spencer selected two herd bulls, one
from the Fircrest Farms herd, OBJ
tanned by DR.. A. Macrae Smith of
Bellingham, Wash, and the other
from the River Banks Farm herd at
Grants Pass, Ore, owned by Mr..
Leanord of Chicago. These were
the two high herds in prizes won at
the recent Pacific International Stock
Show.
The establishment of this herd will
mean much to Northern Idaho. Mr..

Milk, the Premier Farm,
Crop; Cooperation
FLOurishes

MILK was declared to be the pre-
mier farm crop of the United States
at the banquet session of the Ma
tional Milk Producers Federation,
held In Pittsburgh, by President
John D. Miller of Susquehannah,. Pa.
Mr.. Miller, who is vice-president and
general counsel of the Dairymen's
League Cooperative Association, the
largest dairy farmers cooperative
marketing organization in the world,
with over $4,000 members, pointed
out that the farm value of milk pro-
duced last year was over two billion
dollars. 1t exceeded the value of
corn and was far greater than the
value of cotton.
Discussing the growth of the CO.
operative marketing m o m n
among farmers, he said:
'sNo great uplift movement is born
over night. It's beginning may be
traced to causes existing for gener-
ations-so it is with the cooperative
marketing movement. For genera
tions men have recognized the neces-
sity and have in various ways en-
gagged in collective marketing, learn
ing from both successes and fail
ures, there has been steady improve.
ment in methods and results of their
operation
Because some of those associa-
tions have failed, it is sometimes
thought that many of them have
failed. AS a fact, the percentage OF
the failures Of cooperative associa-
lions is probably no larger, but rath-
er smaller than the percentage of
failures of those engaged in other
lines of commercial enterprises.
Reports from 1899 cooperative
marketing associations, tabulated by
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture, show that 939 per cent of
the associations have been in bust
ness for five years or more; that 58.2
per cent have been in business for
ten years or more; that Alt per
cent have been in business Is years
or more; that 1917 per cent of them
have been in bushes 20 years or
more, and that 1919 per cent of them
have been in business rs years or
more. 1t is believed that this record
of longevity cannot be exceeded and
probably not equalled by commercial
institutions engaged in buying and
selling"

STICK FOR SAME
SIZE Of GOLF
BALLS
Sentiments, However, Point to
Change in Weight
Of Pill.

While there is a strong senti.
ment against changing the present
weight of the golf ball, many play.
ers advocate change in the size.
They maintain that a larger ball
would aid the ordinary player. He
could get his club under 1t easier.
To q man who misses his ball on
the tee the standard ball now In
use closely resembles a white
shoe button:
It is surprising how many golfers
can make themselves believe that
the trouble with their game Is the
small size Of the golf ball, when
the real trouble is the large size
Of the opinion of their own ability.
The question Of size Is always
edging into golf. There are any
number who think the courses too
large, the cups too small, the fair
ways too narrow the cost too high.
There are those who even believe
that caddies should be prevented
from laughing when a player makes
a poor shot.
