FINE HERD SIRE rs
BROT TO VALLEY
Jersey Bull from Famous Spokane
Dairy Purchased by Roy
Washburn

A herd sire from the famous
Glen Tana dairy at Spokane, has
been brot to the valley to aid in
securing higher grade cows. Roy
Washburn, cooperating with the
DeSota Creamery took delivery
last week of Glen Tana Golden
Fancy No. 246380.
The average dairy cow will pro-
duce 125 to $50 pounds of butter
fat per year. This new animal was
sired by Morocco Fancy who has
a silver medal for having 25
daughters with an average butter
fat record Of GIG pounds. The dam
of this bull had record of 841
pounds of butterfat. She produced
654 pounds at the age of Is.
This fine Jersey bull was brot
here in the interests of the dairy
industry Of the valley. Only by the
raising of the standard of the
dairy animals can the business be
made more profitable.

question often raised DR.. Barn
hart replied as follows:
There is considerable misunder-
standing about cane and beet sug-
or which appears to be quite gen
eral. This is due propably to the
misleading use of the term cane
sugar. Both the products known
as cane sugar and beet sugar are
chemically the same, that is, they
are both composed entirely of a
sugar the chemical term for which
is sucrose.
eff we examine highly refined
beet sugar and highly refined cane
sugar in the laboratory we find
that they both contain the same
amount of sucrose which is ordin-
arily at least 1913 per cent. There
is therefore no difference. in the
sweetening power of cane and
beet sugar.
Experiments at the University
of California outlined. in Bulletin
33 have shown that beet sugar and
cane sugar give practically iden-
tical results in canning and pre-
serving. 1t is pointed out that prac-
tically all sugar used in Germany

Coolidge Weakens Under lingo Pressure

the American imperialists demand a
navy that shall be large to protect
their growing interests. The develop
ing antagonisms between the impe-
rialists of various nations demands
that each group shall sharpen its tools
of war for future possibilities. The
rising tide of rebellion among colonial
people lin China, Mexico, Latin Amer
lea, etc. against foreign domination
and Imperialism make 1t even more
necessary for the imperialists to look
carefully to their war machine. The
presidents economy proposal toward
the navy was, therefore, greeted with
a storm of protest from lingo quar-
tiers. The Chicago Tribune criticized
Coolidge severely. lingo and prepar-
edness societies all over the country
took up the cry. And Coolidge has
submitted obediently. But the chances
are that Coolidge has not improved
his standing for the next presidential
campaign with the dominant elements
OF the American capitalist class by
raising the issue of economy in naval
expenditures. It looks more and more
as If Coolidge is canned,

DRESIDENT COOLIDGE has finally
L approved the Butler bill providing
for the construction of ten light cruis-
ers at an aggregate cost of about
s140,000,OOO. His action is a complete
reversal of the policy expressed in his
recent budget message that naval
building should be suspended pending
thea outcome of negotiations for a Sec
ond international arms limitation con-
terence. II is also complete reversal
OF the sentiment expressed in his let
ter of Dec. to the Army and Navy
Journal, in which ne says: II am con-
vinced the estimates submitted pro-
vide adequately for the services; and
economic administration will assure a
wellfed and well-disciplined army
maintain the navy in high state Of
efficiency, and promote the well being
and development of the air service"

change Of front within the course of a

Seeking to make amends and win new

mediately proclaimed his purpose to
