Cygan and Snohomish Re- quested by Mcbride to
 Search for Haines
YACHTS AND OTHER
 CRAFT NOTIFIED
Entries Tn Yacht Race and Vessels from Ketchi-
 kan to Join Search

Two United States Coast Guard cutters were today requested by Collector of Customs J. c. Mcbride to start a search for Raymond L. Haines, missing sportsman, who left Juneau last Thursday for Se- attle in an outboard motor boat, the Miss Juneau. He has not been seen or heard from since Friday morning when he left Ketchikan for Butedale, E. O., his next sched- uled stop.
 The Collector today telegraphed the cutter Cygan at Ketchikan re- questing 1t to start south and cruise over Haines's course, keeping a close lookout for signals on the shores as well as for the little craft used by the missing man.
 He also sent radio at the same time to the cutter Snohornish, con- voy vesesl in the Capital -to-C Capital Yacht Race, asking it too look for Haines enroute north. Vessels in the race will also be notified Of Haines's disappearance and asked to keep watch for him.
 These ships will be aided by other craft clearing from Ketchi- kan for the south. The Customs officers at Ketchikan were instruct ed by Collector Mcbride to ask all such vessels to be on the lookout for Haines.
 It is more than four days since Haines left Ketchikan. He expect ed to reach Seattle Saturday after noon or evening if he had no &C., cidents. Nothing has been heard from him since Friday. Leaving Ketchikan at 7:36 a. m. of that day, he has dropped completely out of sight. Yesterday The Associated Press started a check up of all British Columbia coast points in an effort to locate him or get some trace of his. Up to midafternoon today there had been no report on that inquiry.
 Rumors that Haines's had wreck ed his boat south of Ketchikan were afloat here yesterday and to- day. One report to the effect that he had struck a partly submerged log 20 miles below there was per- sistent. But it and others were apparently without any foundation.
 His friends here, while fearing he had met with serious trouble, were hopeful that he would show up or be found within a day or so. They have confidence in his ability to navigate the boat and think it possible that he was forced by trouble to make a landing at some unfrequented spot and that the search now started will find him.

That the potato flavor sometimes detected in cream is not caused by feeding the COWS potatoes, is one of the interesting conclusions recently announced by the North Dakota Agricultural College. The flavor comes, not from feeding the cows, but from exposing the cream to air heavy with potato odor, as in basements or other storerooms.
