Apparently there are many people who don't realize tho necessity for authentic Informa tion concerning every Item given npaco in n newspaper. When anony mously signed nrticlos aro contrlbut ed there is need for verification ond most often tho candlo Ib not worth tho match. Tho intense interest in the wni hnn given impotus to a flow of an onymoiiB communications, tho llk of which probably never have beei received before. And the tide in variably washes Itself out somewhere between thp top and tho bottom ol tho wasto haskot. Hut ono day last week a communication of n differ ont naturo reached Tho Times office Some reader had written an extended account of n social affair and had signed It as n "Guest." The nig naturo rendered tho report worthless and it, too, found its wny into tin waste depository. Contributors who do not wish their minion used may nitiko that request over their signatures with confidence that It will bo granted.

I OLD FIMEXBS. Keep tho old friends with tho new, Never turn thoin away; Cling to those that cling to you In misfortune's dronry day; I They have stood time's fiery test, Ofton tried ami alwoyn truo; Then romember it Is best Keep the old friends with tho now. Keep tho old frlonds with tho new, For thp new may pass you by; Hut the- old aro tried and truo, And their friendship cannot dlo; llenits wo trust aro ovor dear, lie they very far or fowj AVith them wo should bo sliioo.ro, Keep tho old friends with the new. Keep tho old rrlonds with tho now, Don't forgot tholr kindness thou, When they're dead and gono from you, You will wish thorn baok again; New friends may bo swoot and kind, And perhaps their friendship truo, Still 'tis bettor, you will find, Keep tho old friends with tho now, Selected. (An Adnptod Poem) Since neighbor nations still Insist That tho war of might Is right, Wo'd hotter keep our powder dry And help them bo pollto. So Undo Samuel seems to think That since this Is tho case, Ho'd better guard his western lino With an oxtra naval base. And ho wants to put it at the spot Where tho skirmish would begin Right whoro tho reckless visitor Would come n-Blcnmln In. And from Skagaway down to Mexico, Coos Hay Is thp place, On this path to milk and honey Is tho minimi Naval Uttso. . It's a sort of solar plexus In Undo Samuel's front, Where any little wrapper Would bo sure to make him grunt. Do you want our broad coal fields To tempt an alien race? Then nut our fighting hnrnoos on And got n Naval Huso. Wo have tho ample harbor line, And the channel to tho sea; We guard tho priceless hinterland, And tho millions yet to be; riiuti whoop it up, and score It up, And don't glvo up tho chase, .lust hold the U. S. Congress up Till wo get tho Naval llano. CLOSE TlRSf" YEAR INTERESTING FIGl'RES OX Cl'R IIV COW TESTING ASSOCIATION Had filO Head of Cows Last Vein Hoorguu'o Again Kind Wuik Extremely Successful , Curry county's first cow tenting association has Just closed a very successful year nnd hnn started on another, according to W. E. Moyer, government dairy expert, who has lust returned from two weekH Invest igating dairy problems of Cooq and Curry. Ho was Immensely 'pleased with tho work In both counties nnd praised very highly tho work of J. L. Smith, county agriculturist. On Saturday at Denmark tho nsso "ilutlon organized for tho now year.

A. J. Marsh, or Elk river, has tho best cow, tho animal havlnr produced 381 pounds of butter fat Tho records showed exactly what lias boon done by ovory cow during tho year.

Xoetl Hotter Stock Need of a higher brood of stock is expressed Jiy Mr. Moyer, and ho says thoro Is a chance for vast Im provements in tho bonis and 'tnr dairying conditions. This Is shown too by tho fact that tho best herd produced almost three times ns much par cow Ais thoso ef tho poorest herd. Ho said, "Tho monihors hero, too, aro finding thnt winter dairying pays.

Furthermore, each taxpayer Is requested to stale tho number of mohlhs each year tho roads near his place me In condi tion to travel and to estlmntn how much more tonnage ho would haul If the load was opon for a longer period of tho year. In addition to tho data gathered, each taxpayer Is requested to spec ify what roads ho thinks nro most In need of Improvement. County Roadmautor Murdock does not expect that the census will bo absolutely correct, but thinks It will bo relatively so. In other words, If certain residents along a certain mail exaggerate their traffic with a view of making tholr request for Improvements stronger, residents of other sections will he Just as likely to do likewise, no that ono will off- so tho other. (Jives Reasons For It iRondinustor Murdock tin discuss ing tho plan said: "Tho object of the traffic cen sus Is, briefly, to obtain informa tion upon which to baso nu Im provement program. It Is not ex pected that wo will oven get eloso to tho correct tounago hauled on any particular piece of road, but It Is expocted that wo will bo able to toll the relative Importance of each road; and morn than this is unnecessary. Tho traffic consus has provod of value for this pur pose In other localities. "It In woll known that oven undor tho most favorable conditions the mnxlmum fund avallahlo would not bo sufficient to Improve all tho roads In Coos County satisfactorily In ono year's time. It seems, thon, thnt tho only practical and business Hko wny Is to lay out a program for Improvements covering n por (od of years and, In so doing, It icoiiiB only Just that attention should bo given first to those roads which nro tho most usod by tho groutest numbor of taxpayers. This does not moan thnt tho mnjlutennnco of tho lessor roads should ho no ?lectod, but that pormnuont Im provements should bo carried on In tholr proper order, eliminating iupllontlons nnd disconnected nnd ilmicsn projocts. It Is hoped and believed that such n courso will moot the npprovul of nil. "The consus Is lutendod to In ludo every resident taxpayer hi tho "ounty. If any hnVn boon omitted they may obtain bfhnks from tho Uoadinastor." PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY Dr. A. L. Houseworth, Pbystclnn nnd Snrgcoa Office: Irving Block.
