The mobilization of nu lest than

and the grouping of these men into

Besides the interest in this
country which can hardly be de

countries view the situation with

being in sympathy with Mexico.
In Europe, the German people
seem to be elated over the outlook,
taking the view that war in Amer-
ica will reduce or eliminate the
shipments of munitions to Kurope.
They also contend that Japan
will help Mexico, thereby giving
the United States a taste of real
war before the matter is settled.

President Wilson and which has

During the oeuMon of 1SM5-1G,
60 tons of hay were sold off the
ranch which is an eighty acre tract,
besides that kept for use on the
farm:
This hay is sold at a very good
figure, some of it bringing as much
as $20 per ton, while it averaged
$15. 1000 sacks of potatoes were
sold, at an overage of $1 per sack.

TELEPHONE MEETING.
Notice is hereby given that the

hall in this city on Saturday, July

Meeting Last Friday at McCall
Ranch Weil Attended Over
200 Cows Pledged.
Several dairymen from different
parts of the county met at the H.
McCall, Western Wold Itaneh, lust
Friday afternoon to discuss the ad
visability of organizing a cow test
ing association. The meeting was
held on the porch of Mr. MeCall's
spacious country home, under the
direction of P. W. Kehrli, U.S.
Dairy Field Agent and A. I?.
Lovett, County, Agriculturalist.
The cow testing association, as
explained by Mr. Kehrli, is an or
ganization of dairymen represent
ing about 400 cows, who by a fee
of $1.50 per animal each year, re
ceive in return testing supervision
by a qualified man in this line.
This supervision consists of a route,
including each herd once a month,
where the milk is weighed and test
ed, and the feed used determined.
All statistics are kept on govern
ment record sheets, a copy of
which is left with the farmer. A
minimum of 10 cows to a herd
with 2G herds is the best working
basis for an association, but those
having less than ten may combine
with a nearby herd or pay more on
the yearly tax.
The first readily seen advantage
of this 'system is the weeding out
of unprofitable cows and replacing
them with onus of higher test.
Grade animals which now have
only a nominal value will increase
in value when good tests are mad'
and likewise the offspring of such
animals will command a higher
price than before. The fact that

BEND AGAIN DEFEATED
Held Sweet Victory in Grasp
Until Ninth.
PRINEVIUf 3 GAMES, BEND I
Mill City Players Out Classed
By prineville Men Fans
Were Frantic.
By a whirlwind rally in the ninth
inning consisting of hits and fran
tic rooting by loyal supporters,
Prineville cracked the defense of
the Bend nine and rolled up 5 runs
for a 7-3 slaughter ot her chesty
rival. A record crowd watched
this spectacular game at Bend,
Sunday, which dimmed for some
time to come the baseball aspi
rations of that fair city. Scoreless
ball was played until the first of
the sixth when Prineville tallied
one, Bend producing the tieing run
in the next inning.
Both teams registered scores in
the eighth, Bend having the edge
3-Js. and at the beginning of the
ninth was the time it looked bad
for the "Home Boys" thus starting
a rally by the Prineville fans which
fussed Tetherow into a massacre
that sent the Bendites home with
a bad taste and a poor appetite
for baseball.
Burdon featured the game with
hard hitting and splendid fielding,
Clark pitched gilt edge ball allow
ing only four hits while ten were
made off Tetherow. Yancey went
in as pinch hitter in the ninth and
delivered the goods. Lister played
his usual earnest and effective
game as catcher, Bechtell annexed
two hits and two sacrifices and in
fact every member of the " team
showed the improvement a weeks'
practice will bring forth.
W. II. Simon of The Dalles has
opened a new shoe repair, shop
fully equipped with power machin
ery, etc., in the Morris Building.
f
Redmond Union High
School Remains Intact
At an flection which was held on
Monday in each of the eleven
school districts which are included
in the Redmond High School dis
trict, it was voted to retain the
high school as it exists at present.
The election was called by those
who were in favor of a dissolution
of the institution.
The school was organized two
years ago, and has been improving
in efficiency until it is a credit to
any community, and while it is not
in the same class with the county
institution, a strong effort is being
made to make it as efficient as any
of them.
Of the eleven districts, three,
Terrebonne, Smith Rock and Shep
herd School at Powell Butte voted
to dissolve the district, Lower
Bridge voted 14 for and 14 against,
and the remaining seven districts
voted to continue the school as it
now stands.
LOST, ONE PERFECTLY
Anybody who finds the complex
ion that belongs to Mrs. Ada B.
Millican of Prineville, Ore., who is
a delegate from that state to the
General Federation of Women'i
Clubs, will bestow a favor on that
representative of the west bv re-
turning it as quickly as possible.
Mrs. Million u,i,n s f-m h.
Shu-Mi-A Club which in Indian !
dialect means studv eluh ha felt I
most uncomfortable without her j
convention makeup, and yesterday
she asked everybody she saw in the'
Seventh Regiment armory to help
find her bag,
Some buasreman or messenger
boy has had it conceded somewhere
i ever since the western member ar
rived for the convpntion. And it
is several days since the Shu-Mi-A
organizer has had a speck of pow-
der, -
j Mrs. Millican is a tall woman
and wears typically western re
i gal ia, consisting of a Panama hat
bound round with an Indian head
belt, and a bead necklace. She
; carries her convention papers in an
Indian kit of finely woven straw.
"I've had to go around here with
my Oregon tanned cheeks, while all
the other women look like well
groomed club members," sighed
the Oregon delegate yesterday.
Besides the make-up box which
Mrs. Millican is so desirous of find
ing, the lost bag contains a silk
kimono and a toothbrush. These
; also, she adds, are greatly needed.
