CHICAGO. March 12. (Special.)
Dresses, frocks, gowns, creation
they will all be on exhibition at the
fashion Art League's gorgeous display
vi moaisn feminine raiment at th
Blarkstone Hotel Tuesday, and at th
Auditorium Hotel Wednesday. "Next'
fashions they are called by the elec
among the modiste clan, probably be
cause they are next to the last word
in fashion designing-, and are intended
to outshine anything that ever came
Trom the workshops of Felix or Worth
In that dear Paris.
Such gowns! Beautiful? Yes. More
than that, they are the quintessence of
ail that is odd in up-to-the-minute
fashionable attire for milady. It is
even hinted that the liberties taken
by the modistes in shape, effect and
general desigij will make her highness
innK ana gasp in amazement ana de
light.
Harem Gown Coming In.
There's the harem gown, that looks
as f it might have been fashioned for
the Sultan's favorite, or the darling of
the gods; the gown with bodice cut
In front to resemble a butterfly, more
lacy butterflies on the front of thi
skirt and billows of satin at the hips
the "Josette" with a skirt that looks
like one of mother's prized lace cur
tains, and which falls unevenly over
the ankles, the bodice cut like a vest
in front and with wings over the hips
another sleeveless affair with a foamy,
ragged effect, lace smothered skirt that
hangs as unevenly as a row of icicles
from the eaves of a farmhouse; 6till
another with clusters of roses on the
sides of a bobbed-off uneven skirtette
that successfully avoids covering
filmy lace petticoat.
Some Bathing? Salts, Too.
Then the bathing suits.
The "dream" of the lot is a striped
satin conceit, cut hig-h in the neck and
witli a skirt that Iihiis to a point and
trimmed nearly half way up with satin
leather. It looks like the wedding dre
of a Tyrolean belle and is topped off
with a cloak that looks as if it might
have been borrowed from Mrs. Mephis
to pies.

BERLIN', via London, March 12.
Potato cards, the issuance of which has
been made necessary by the shortage,
elite, it is ascertained, to speculators
holding out for higher prices, will take
their place alongside the bread and
butter cards in Berlin on March 20.
The first cards will cover a 60-day
period and allow the holders to buy 11
Knglish pounds of potatoes every 12
days, probably at the uniform price of
65 pfennings.
Owing to the recent shortage in bread
the military authorities today forbade
the production of all cakes between
March 13 and March 19, inclusive, made
of white or potato flour, and their sale
between March 15 and 19. This step
was taken onsthe complaint of many
bakers that other bakes who are not
hort of flour were using it for cakes
rather than for bread. The ehortage
is due to unequal .distribution, which is
expected to be remedied within a week.
"NEEDY BROTHER" FAILS
Brand "ev Swindle of "o Avail
When Grips Are Not Shown.
PHILADELPHIA. March 6. A brand
pew model confidence game, worked
out especially for fraternity men, has
arrived. Although it is very simple,
it is risky work. The operator" poses
as a Fraternity brother and obtains a
brotherly loan" from his victim, usu
ally as much as he can get.
Horace B. Reed, an Alpha Tau Omega
man. was working in his office late
when a shaggy looking individual en
tered and became friendly. The person,
who introduced himself as Jackson
Ileynolds. of Oakland. Cal.. was a
"bum." in Reed's opinion. Reed won
dered why and whence came all the
friendliness, until the man. seeing the
pin on Reed's vest, exclaimed. "Why,
I'm a member of your fraternity."
"What fraternity?" asked Reed.
"Your fraternity." parried the man.
looking closely at the pin. "the Geeps."
"Oh, you mean the Oeks.'1 replied
Tteed. thinking of the G. E. K's. tfie
Gamma Etta Kappa Fraternity, a high
fcchool organization.
"Yes." said the man.
Reed then explained that he had mis
taken his pin, as they are similar, both
Veing Maltese crosses. Keed. however,
knew the "Geks" well and didn't like
to refuse to aid one. Reed excused
himself and phoned B. K. Wolfe, grand
recorder, to look in the catalogue for a
Jackson Reynolds in the Oakland, chap
ter. The name was there, and Reed
was almost convinced. The man then
came to the point, saying he was in fi
nancial difficulties and asked Reed to
telegraph his parents at 3101 Summit
avenue, Oakland, for car fare to return
home. Reed agreed, for the story car
ried conviction, and told the man to
call for the money, which amounted to
nearly $100.
The man arrived on time, but no
answer to the telegram. Two "Gek"
friends of Reed, Richard choles and
Wayne Steel, also arrived to talk with
the man. Both "Geks" gave" "Reynolds"
the fraternity grip, but he failed to re
spond. They also casually mentioned
several passwords in the course of
tlieir conversation which were likewise
Ignored. They then were convinced
that the man was not a "Gek." '
"Reynolds" explained that he had
"only been a member for two months
in 1904" and had forgotten the signs.
A fraternity man is always a fraternity
man and he never forgets his grip
and passwords.
The three then excused themselves to
nhone to Wolfe again, and in their ab
sence the man fled. He did not wait
for the elevators, but rushed down four
flights of stairs and out into the street,
where he disappeared.

Wetherbee says
to one breed.
The Star Ranch has a herd of 400
fullbred Holstein-Frieslan cattle. They
raise luO calves a year most of which
are soid to neighboring ranchers who
are thus Improving their own herds.
Professor Fitts, of Oregon Agricultural
College, says there are no finer bred
cattle anywhere than those on the Star
Ranch Seven purebred Holstein. bulls
head the Star Ranch herd.
Pastnmse Afforded All Year.
The mild equable climate furnishes
green pasturage the year round. Stock
cattle are not fed at all, out the dairy
herd Is fed oat and veatcn hay. Three
huge silos each holding 150 tons insure
an abundance of green feed during the
short season when green feed is not
abundant in the pastures.
Two large fields are planted in arti
chokes. The yield from artichokes Is
prodigious. The stalks are fed green
to the cattle which eagerly devour them
lock, stock and barrel. 'Four acres in
artichokes will furnish sufficient green
feed for a herd of 103 cows for a period
of six weeks. The yields below ground
are as important as that above. After
the stalks have been cut the hogs are
turned in the field to root out the
tubers which are a nourishing and ex
cellent food. This method of harvest

ing is efficient and economical. The
yield of artichokes is greater to the
acre than that of potatoes.
After the artichokes are gone beets,
rutabagas and kale are fed. These
vegetables grow well here, rutabagas
having been grown on this ranch
weighing 15 pounds apiece. Consider
able grain is grown also, 92 acres
having been devoted to oats and veatch
last season.
Calf-RalnJnK Is Profitable.
A great source of profit in raising
pure bred cattle is the calves, 3-months-old
calves bringing as much as $125.
The calves are fed very carefully. "It's
cold milk that kills calves," says Dr
Wetherbee ir speaking of methods of
feeding. The calf barns are divided
Into a great many sections where the
calves are placed according to age.
Each calf has a separate stanchion,
where it cannot waste its food or suck
its neighbors' ears. They are Ted ti
of galvanized iron buckets which are
steam scalded twice a. week to keep
them sanitary.
Their milk is warmed to normal tern
perature before being fed. All their
food, milk, whole oats and barley, is
accurately weighed and measured. The
calves are fed whole milk until 4
months old. They run on natural clover

I pasture, white clover being native to
this part of Curry County.
I Dri Wetherbee explains the Interest
ing and simple method of treatmnt for
throat worm. If the case is not too far
gone, an injection of two cubic centl
meters of turpentine into the wind
pipe will cure it. Running the fingers
along the ealve's throat the windpipe
is seised firmly and the hypodermic
needle is forced through.
Two Immense Barns Vsed.
The cattle are housed In two Immense
barns, one having stanchions for 100
cows and the other for 150 cows. These
barns are equipped with an automatic
milk trolley, which takes ' the milk
direct to the ch'eese factory, and with
automatic manure carriers.
The milking has been done for five
years with B. C. K. milking machines
which have been, found perfectly satis
factory, the cost of milking having
been reduced 50 per cent by their -use.
Five machines milk 150 cows in two
hours.
The Star Ranch has its own thresh
ing machine, feed-grinding machinery,
woodsawing machine, blacksmith shop,
and steam and gasoline engines for
many purposes. Water is piped by
gravity to every part, of the ranch
from pure, sparkling springs.
Th pTpnt business of the ranch is
j cheesemaking. They have a modern.
well-equipped and sanitary factory m
charge of an Oregon Agricultural Col
lege man, who is an expert at the busi
ness. In all, 12 men, graduates and
undergraduates of Oregon Agricultural
College, are employed upon the Star
Ranch, a tribute to the efficiency of
that school.
The fact that all of the Star Ranch
cheese is mado from Holstein milk
which has been properly handled In
sures its uniform excellence. The
cheese is hauled to Bandon, from
whence it is shipped to the best cheese
markets on the Pacific Coast.
Hogs Brine In Profit.
In addition to the sale of dairy prod
ucts and livestock, hogs are a. lucra
tive source of income.. The Star Ranch
has 22 pure-bred Duroc Jersey hogs
and a fine boar which Dr. Wetherbee
bought at the State Fair grounds in
Salem, wearing the blue ribbon which
had been awarded him in competition
with all corners. The ranch also pos
sesses a prize sow which produced 32
pigs in a period of 12 months. The
pigs from the Star Ranch are sold to
North Curry County farmers.
Curry County has a cow-test!ng as
sociation comprising 800 cows. This is
in charge of a dairy herd expert from
Corvallls, who -makes accurate tests
and keeps records of each cow in the
association. Several days of each
month he spends on the Star Ranch
testing the herd.
In this way it is easily determined
which cows are producers and which
are merely boarders and an expense on
the business. Those not up to the
standard are fattened and sold for
beef. The Star Ranch enjoys the bene
fits of advanced registry.
Lectures
Given at Conventions.
On July
6, 150 dairymen of the
neighboring section met at Denmark,
Curry County, in convention. Lectures
were g"iven by professors from the Ore
gon Agricultural College and by ex
perts sent out by the United States De
partment of Agriculture. Stereopticon
views were displayed showing the best
breeds of cattle and sanitary barns.
An exposition was given of the
standard breeds of dairy cttle and a
cattle-judging contest was iield. Dem
onstrations were given on the fetar
Ranch of proper methods of feeding
and the care of calves, and the model
calf barn properly housing 102 calves
was shown to the visiting dairymen.
Dr. Wetherbee explained why he
chose Holsteln-Frlesian cattle in pref
erence to other standard breeds b
producing statistics compiled by Gov
ernment experts and leading agricul
tural journals which showed their su
perior productivity. While Jersey milk
will test higher, the Holstein cow, by
a greater production, more than over
comes this disadvantage. Jersey milk
gets Its rich, yellow color from the
comparatively large size of the fat
globules.
The fat globules in the Holstein milk
are minute, and hence it is easy to
digest and is much sought by physi
cians for feeding Invalids, and is In
efreat demand by manufacturers of
baby foods. Holstein milk Is superior
for cheesemaking.
Dr. Wetherbee had charge of the
Star Ranch for only three i ears, but in
that time made great improvements in
the farm buildings and instilled effi
ciency and skill into the management
of the big ranch.
