Official Paper of Coos County. irw Z HEADING OFF THE "DEAD KEATS" THE SYSTEM that is being- built up by retailers of Marshfleld and other Coos county towns tc protect themselves and the public against dishonest people who will not pay their bills, is altogether commendable. Bad accounts were long the bane of every merchant who did a credit business and while at first glance losses might seem to fall on the deal ors, In point of fact, they ultimately found their way, at least in part, to the honest customer, for the dealer had no other way of saving himself than by making an estimated allow ance for bad debts and charging It .up against the cost of transacting business. By cooperating with commercial agencies the retailers are now sup plied with reliable Information that has eliminated the greater part of the loss that had to be borne before this system was perfected. Thoro is still another public bene fit in this system. Since tho dis honest customers aro required to pay cash and tho volume of debts has been greatly reduced, thero is a diminished uso of tho courts as a collection agency. Public sentiment will always ap prove organizations which couiluo their efforts to reforms of this na ture. Mnny things that aro deslr ablo can only bo achieved through organization and where- combina tions aro mndo for tho mutual pro tection of their members and tho public, within tho requirements of tho law, they aro to bo approved and encouraged. THE GREAT AMERICAN COW. I ROM THE nation's capital comes a story tlmt will niako Captain Harris of Sunnier, D. L. Rood nnd Ivy Condron turn green with onvy. This is tho talo of tho prize Holstoln cow which Senator Stephen son of Wisconsin keeps "down on tho farm." Sonator Stephenson is sometimes known as tho lumber king becaiiBO of the millions ho accumu lated In that Industry, but' his llol stein is doing her full sharo to keep the wolf from tho door during tho present porlod of tho high cost of living. It Is reported that this cow, during ono week, ro contly gave- GOO. 13 pounds of milk, from which was made 2G.2C nounds of tho finest butter, which, at 42 cents a pound, tho prevailing prlco In Washington, would add $11.03 to tho senator's cash account. Evon without tho accumulated for tuno nnd the senatorial salary, the average householder would fed pret ty rich nnd independent did ho own such a cow. Perhaps it has required Just such an object lesson as has been present ed by tho present era or tho blah cost of living to make tho people re alUo the true value of the cow and her kind, which supply the world with meat, milk, butter, ciuehi , cream, tallow, leather mid other a uuble eon? modules. The coft. unlver n.illv deei d the most useful to man of nil domestic animals, baa played an important part in tin- hl-toiv of the vMuid, glie 1ms not on'v Viry largely fed aud clothed a great por- 'ni of the human race, but she has tfrawn the plow and tho cart and has been employed as a beast of bur den. As a slight recognition oi tne esteem In which she Is held because of her service to man, tho artists and the poets, It is said, have put her kind into their paintings and their poeni3 more often, perhaps, than they have any other animal. That the sculptor has more frequently portrayed the horse, Instead, has been because the patient ox has stood as a symbol of peace rather than of war. Yet the ox is by no means a "mollycoddle" among the beasts of the field, for we aro told that he was formerly trained by tho Hotten tots of Africa to aid them In battle. Peter Kolben, In his narrative relat ing to the Capo of Good Hope, writ ten in 1705, gives an Interesting de scription of theso trained fighting oxen. But It Is ,as a patient, peaceful helper and provider that tho cow is esteemed. It Is said that the rela tive food value of her milk, as prov ed by actual experimentation, Is much greater, for the same amount Invested, than are meats or almost any other class of foodstuffs. The statistics showing the value of the cow and her products, In America, aro expressed In long rows of fig ures. Of all the domestic animals, she is man's invaluable friend, sup plying the necessities and the luxu ries of rich and poor alike. And aside from her Immeasurable utility she Is a familiar and an almost poetic part of every pleasant pastoral scene composed of wood and mea dow of the farmyard and the wide- spreading barn with Its mow over flowing with tho fragrant hay, oi shady country lanes and of lingering summer twilights "When over the hill the farm-boy goes, Cheerily calling 'Co', boss! co', boss! co' co'! co M, 0' BmarommtJ AltAOi WITH THE ' TOAST AND TEA ???,S?V?YTYXXIXX W'WWWWW(WVTVVV O GOOD EVENING.
