Eternully Broke

The most common habit we have
which makes for distress is the
habit of living beyond our means
not only Of monetary income but
Of vital and emotiona. energy. As
a consequence we drag our feet
through life, figuratively and liter
ally speaking.
Such men and women have no
time or energy to live because they
exhaust both time and energy in
keeping alive. They go through
life eternally broke. They can't get
more out Of life because they don't
put more into life. They can't be
happy because they are crowded.

the other to run, or for both to
keep out and let ex-Speaker FLOYD
Danskin of Spokane be the gov
ernor's running mate. Neverthe-
less, Houser filed, making Conner
angry, and now Conner, feeling
himself slapped by certain Hartley
workers, has jumped the reserva-
ton and is out as an 'sindepend-
emit" candidate on his own hook.
With Conner nd Hoaser divid-
ing the King county vote and shar-
ing, to some extent, the Hartley
vote. it is generally assumed that
the political gods are conspiring
to reflect johnson. So, of course,
some of the Hartley people are
displeased by the self-promotion
spiKit of Conner and Houser. On
the other hand, those who are OPP
posed to Hartley are chuckling and
saying "sic 'em!" to both Conner
and Houser.
Judge Austin GriffithS of Sc
attic is out for another fling at
the republican nomination to the
United States senate, but the COM
mon impression is that he will
fare no better than he did in 1922
when he was a candidate and fin
ishad fourth in a field of six. Most
everybody, it seems, is satisfied
that the nomination Lies between
Miles Poindexter and Kenneth
Macintosh. both of whom are al
ready. ,rustling all over the state.
The Griffiths candidacy, howev-
er, is interesting in that it might
help Poindexter by diverting some
votes from Macintosh. 1t is con-
coded that Macintosh will poll a
heavy vote in Seattle, where he
was born and raised, but it is al
so possible that Griffiths will get
about 5000 votes in Seattle, most
of which might go to Macintosh
otherwise. Consequently, tie Grit
fiths candidacy is more pleasing
to Poindexter than to Macintosh.

To date Their are 397 farmers

l. difficult to get many farmers TO
see the real value of cow testing
work even though they are plan
ming on staying with the dairy en-
terprise. One farmer IN com
rmlnity asked if it would not be
nossible to secure at least 80 per
cent of the farmers or even 80 per
cent of the cows for this work, but
when we realize that even IN
counties like Tillamook in which
they have had cow testing associa-

and cattle signed up, that it would

the best success of their dairy
herds are those who are doing 1t
through the assistance OF cow

am county association has just
been received and these are some
of the questions which their assoc
.iation have for their members. How
can men breed for higher butter
fat production when he does not
know which cows will produce the
most butter fat? How does he
know whether the heifers are an
Improvement over the old COWS
unless he has numerous year rec
ords on the old cows and also con-
tinues to test the heifers? How
does he know whether to keep the
old bull a few years longer or send
him to the butcher and knock his
calves on the head?
"sThe cost of the record is hardly
worth considering when compared
to the profit derived from an in
telligent use of them. One good
calf saved or one poor one des-
troyed may save the owner the
price of testing during the year.
Four extra pounds of butter fat
from a cow during the year will
pay for testing The saving of a
little feed on each cow will soon
pay for the testing"
There is constant tendency for
farmers to shift from one enter
prise to another, depending upon
the money which can be made in
the end, and the present price of
cattle indicates that there is a
shift to the dairy at the present
time. The farmers who have a
real system Of checking their dairy
herd and develops a herd like a
number of those developed in Gill
lam county need not worry about
the time when there will be less
money in the dairy business for
all concerned, because his produ-
tion will be so high that many
men will have to drop out before
his profit will be cut to the point
where he will find it necessary to
begin eliminating cows from the
herd.

fat per cow for 713 cows in the
