With a doien cows and forty acres
any Industrious man can make more
money than most salaried men re
ceive, and be earning himself a home
at the same lme.
Instances are numerous ot the
large returns being paid by the dairy
cow, and with the local creamery al
ways ready to pay cash for every can
of cream as received, there Is no
more desirable branch of farming op
en anywhere.
The fruit man Invests large sums
ot money In land and trees and waits
for years for the first return, while
the dairyman buys cows today, milks
them tonight, and markets his cream
tomorrow, receiving cash therefor.
Of course the Item of feed Is a big
one, and a serious one this year, but
the situation In this regard will be
changed before another winter no
doulit. and by planning now the
feed can be procured for the summer,
fall and winter ot this year and the
man with small capital and some In
dustry can start himself Into a good
and sate business.
The dairy business Is defined to be
one of the strong factors In the de
velopment ot this community, and
should not be overlooked.

I'RIXEVILLES FUTURE
Representatives of two of the lar
gest and strongest bond houses west
of the Rocky Mountains were discus
sing the future of the Prineville com
munity Tuesday evening.
One of these men said that in his
experience in bond matters, he had
never seen a town which was situat
ed on or very near a first class irri
gation community that failed to
make immense strides as soon as the
water was applied to the land.
After a careful summarization ot
Prineville as it is today, taking into
consideration then the irrigation, the
tim ber and livestock resources, all ot
-which will contribute largely to the
future prosperity of the community,
he stated that he knows of no com
munity in the Northwest with a
brighter future than Prineville poa-
Thia man is authority on such sub
jects and he knows just what he is
talking about.
THE DAIRY INDUSTRY

sheep country, or has long been so
considered, the possibilities ot the
dairy industry on the small Irrigated

of 1917 the final collapse of that gov
ernment was almost certain.
The relatively low strength of the
German forces on the western front
led the allies, with much confidence,
to attempt a decision on this front;
but the losses were very heavy and
the effort signally failed. The failure
caused a serious reaction, especially
on French morale, both Id the army
and throughout the country, and I at

Sank Millions of Tons.
In the five months endiug June 30
German submarines bad accomplished
the destruction of more than 3,250.000
tons of allied shipping. During three
years Germany had seen practically all
her offensives except Verdun crowued
with success. Her battle lines were
held on foreign soil sod she had with
stood every allied attack since the
Marne.- The German general srnff
could now foresee the complete elim
ination of Russia, tiie possibility of de
feating Italy before the end of the
year and. finally, the campaign of 1918
against the French and British on the
western front which might terminate
the war.
It cannot be said that German hopes
of final victory were extravagant,
either as viewed at that time or as
viewed In the light of history. Finan
cial problems of the allies were diffi
cult, supplies were becoming exhaust

Such was the allied morale that,

and during 1017 amounted to ) per
cent, only local attacks could he under
taken, and their effect proved wholly

at home were low end there was Utile
prospect of materially increasing their
armed strength, even In the fnce of the
probability of hiivlmi practically the
whole mllllHry strenmh of the Central
Powers against them In the spring of
WIS.
This was the state of affairs that ex
isted when we entered the war. While
our action gave the allies much onconr
aKCinent, yet this was temporary, and
a review of conditions made it appar
ent that America must make a supreme
material effort as soon as possible.
After duly considering the tonnaue pos
sibilities I tallied the following to
Washington on July 6, 1017:
"Plans should contemplate sending
over at least l.iXtO.lHH) itieu by next
May." A general organization project,
covering as far as possible the person
nel of all combat, staff and adminis
trative units, was forwarded to Wash
ington on July 11. In this I stated;
Needed 1,000,000 Man.
"It Is evident that a force of about
1.000.000 Is the smallest unit which In
modern war will he a complete, well
balanced and Independent fighting or
ganization. However, It must he
equally clear that the adoption of this
size force as a basis of study should
not be construed as representing the
maximum force which should he sen.',
to or which will be needed In France.
It Is taken as the force which may be
expected to reach' France In time for
an offensive In Wis. and as a unit and
basis of organization. Plans for the
future should be based, especially In
reference to the manufacture of artil
lery, aviation and other material, on
three times this force I. e.. at least
3,000.000 men."
Resolved en an Offensive.
Before developing plans for s line of
coniniunlnitlons It was necessary to
decide upon the probable sector of the
front for the eventual employment of a.
distinctive American force. Our mis
sion was offensive and It was essential
to make plans for striking the enemy
where a definite military decision
could he gained. While the allied
armies had endeavored to maintain the
offensive, the British. In order to guard
the channel ports, were committed to
operations In Flanders and the French
to the portion of the front projecting
Paris. Both lacked troops to operate
elsewhere on a large scale.
.To the east the great fortified dis
trict east of Verdun and around Meti
menaced central France, protected the
most exposed portion of the German
line of communications, that between
Meti and Sedan, and covered the
Briey Iron region, from which the en
emy obtained the greater part of the
Iron required for munitions and ma
terial. The coal fields east of Meti
were also covered by these same de
fenses. A deep advance east of Meti,
or the capture of the Briey reghm. by
uireureniDg me invasion or ncn uer-
man territory in the Moselle valley
and the Saar basin, thus curtailing
her supply of coal or Iron, would have
decisive effect In forcing a with
drawal of German troops from north
ern France. The military and eco
nomic situation of the enemy, there
fore. Indicated Lorraine as the field
promising the most fruitful results for
the employment of our armies.
' The complexity of trench life had
enormously Increased the tonnage of
supplies required by troops. Not only
was It a question of providing food,
but enormous quantities of munitions
and material were needed. Upon the
railroads of France fell the burden of
meeting the heavy demands of the
3,500.000 allied combatants then en
gaged. If the American army was to
have an Independent and ..flexible sys
tem It could not ue the lines behind
the British-Belgium front nor those
In rear of the French front covering
Paris.
Chose the Southern Ports.
The problem confronting the Amer
ican expeditionary forces was then to
superimpose its rail communications
on those of France where there would
be the least possible disturbance to
the arteries of supply of the two great
allied armies already In the field. The
lines selected, therefore; were those
leading from the comparatively un
used South Atlantic ports of France
to the northeast, where it was believ
ed the American armies could be em
ployed to the best advantage.
For all practical purposes the Amer
ican expeditionary forces were based
on the American continent. Three thou
sand miles' of ocean to cross, with the
growing submarine menace confront
ing us, the quantity of ship tonnage
that would be avalluble then un
known, and a line of communications
by land 400 miles long from French
port? to our probable front presented
difficulties that seemed almost Insur
mountable as compared with those of
our allies.
In providing for the storage and dis
tribution of reserve supplies an al
lowance of 45 days In the base sec
tions was planned, with 30 days In the
intermediate section, and 10 days In
the advance section. After the safe
ty of our sea transport was practical
ly assured, thlf was reduced to a total
of 45 days, distributed proportionate
ly. When the armistice was signed all
projects for const ruction had been
completed and supplies note on hand
to meet the needs of 2,nK()W) men,

.. comfort While on Journey
Through the Holy Land.
It Is eight or nine miles, as I est!,
mate, from the Euphrates to Constan
tinople, if one follows the course of
the Bagdad rullroiid, whoae track Is
laid part of the way where the feet
ot the "ten thousand" had marched,
where St. Paul had tramped In hl
first and second missionary Journeys,
and where Godfrey of Bouillon, Tnn
crcd, Baldwin, Raymond and Pnlie
mond hnd passed, nud Frederick the
First had perished.
In my anabusls (If I may give my
lonely expedition a name so ambitious
and yet so contemned by many a
youth) from the Kuphrates toward
Constantinople I had to make a tlr
cultous Journey, as did St. Paul from
I hi m it sens, writes John II. Fluley In
July Scrilmer's. I went first from
Aleppo to bumasrus, then to Jeru
salem, then to I In I I n (near old
Cnesurea where St. Paul took ship),
and then by sea to Be rut and Ilerltia,
on the coast of Asia Minor, a few
miles from St. Paul's "home town"
Tarsus, which was also the same town
as that toward which Jonah sailed
from Jaffa, when evading the call to
Nineveh. But the reader would, I
fear, find this sn uncomfortable and
perhaps a tiresome trip, even to rend
of, for I traveled most of the way In
freight cars (of the type known to our
soldiers In France, accommodating
"forty-five homuies or eight chevaux")
on a trawler (which was absolutely
the most uncomfortable means of
transportation that 1 had ever en
dured) and on a British "destroyer
which might very fitly have borne St.
Paul's name before he changed It, In
the days when he was "breathing out
threatening and slaughter."
There Is a shorter and less Indirect
way, for,' speaking generally, there la
no direct way from one place to tin
other In that part of the world. This
Is probably the reason why the afreet
In Damascus called "Straight" got Ita
distinguishing name.
SUFFERED FOR THEIR FAITH
French Huguenots Driven Into Exile
by the Revocation of the Edict
of Nantes.
The Huguenots were the Puritans of
France In the sixteenth tnd seven
teenth centuries. The name was first
used about 1.160; Its origin Is un
known. The Huguenots suffered an
verely In the reigns of Francis I and
his Immediate 'successors, and after
1502 were frequently Involved In war,
under the leadership of such men as
Admiral Collgny and King Henry of
Navarre, afterwards Henry IV of
Frnnce. Collgny and from 20,000 to
30,000 others fell In the massacre of
St. Bartholomew, August 24, 1.172. It
Is disputed In history whether this
was suddenly caused by the discov
ery of Huguenot plots or had been
premeditated. In spite of all this,
they continued numerous and power
ful and the edict of Nantes, Issued In
1M)8 by Henry IV gave them full po
litical and civil rights. Their power
was broken after the surrender of
LaRochelle and the revocation of the
edict of Nantes by Louis XIV In 1B8S,
snd hundreds of thousands of Hugue
nots went Into exile, going to Prus
sia, Holland, Switzerland, England,
Scotland and America.
Chinese Curb Tobacco Users.
China's ministry of the interior has

to the Peking Dally News:
"It has been noticed that almost
everybody In the country has Indulged
In the use of clfiars or cigarettes,
which will become a worse curse to
the nation than opium In former days
unless some restrictions arc Imposed.
It Is hereby decided that before taking
up any measure for the total prohibi
tion of Its use, the following restric
tions shall be Imposed : First, no boy
or girl tinder eighteen years of age
shall be allowed to smoke cigars or
cigarettes; second, any mllltary'or na
vai man using it shall be punished;
third, the use of cigars and cigarettes
In all government schools and colleges
shall be strictly prohibited." Far

A novel method of forcing attend
ance In the chamber of deputies of the
Republic of Argentina has been sug
gested by a member who Is out of pa
tience with those who draw their sala
ries from the public purse but fall to
fulfill their constitutional obligation of
regular attendance.
The suggestion Is in the form of a
hill providing for payment per dny to
deputies Instead of a lump sum every
month. Failure to answer the roll
call Is equivalent to absence, and the
measure provides that no deputy shall
receive his pay for days when he is
absent from the regular sessions.
