to
vnw votit-t. .Tan. 22. All the 271
passengers on board the disabled
army transport Powhatan have been
transferred to the transport Northern
Pacific and are on their way to New
York. This news waa received here
tonight in -wireless" messages, con
firming previous reports from Hall
fax. The transfer of the passengers
was effected late today under good
weather conditions and without acci
dent. ,In an attempt to send assistance to
the disabled transport Powhatan late
Yesterday afternoon two boats from
the transport Northern Tacific were
capsized, according to a belated wire
less message received at army trans
port headquarters here today. The
message from the destroyer Leary
suid that all the men in the boats
were rescued and no lives were lost.
Ono of the boats was crushed against
the side of the Northern Pacific by
the high seas.
The safe transfer of the Powhatan s
passengers brings to a close a strik
ing sea drama which opened Sunday
when the first message was received
that the ship was leaking, the fire
room flooded, an eastern gale blow
ing and- immediate assistance needed.
The wireless calls were quickly re
sponded to by halt a score of vessels
which put out from Canadian and
American ports and rushed to the
scene in mid-ocean.
They found the disabled transport
rollintr heavily in a stormy sea with
out lights or heat, but were helpless
to render any aid because of the gale
Kor four days more the Powhatan
lav helDless in the unabating storm
while a arrowing fleet of would-be
rescuers made vain efforts to take
her in tow or effect a transfer of her
passengers. Repeatedly two lines were
passed only to snap like thread under
the terrific strain of the disabled
vessel's deadweight, the surging sea
and the fierce wind.
The weather moderated yesterday,
but it was not until today that it was
possible to rescue the passengers from
the sea prison on which they had
been for four days without heat or
light.
Among the passengers were Colo
nel J. M. Dunn and wife. Captain Os
car B. Ralls Jr., lieutenant Charles
McKinley, Captain S. A. Western, Cap
tain li. A. Holiday, Lieutenant lid
ward LJoldberg, Lieutenant-Commander
Howard H. Crosby, Captain Thomas
Uempsey.
HALIFAX. Jan. 22. The transfer of
the passengers from the disabled
transport Powhatan to the steamship
Northern Pacific was made tonight
without any serious mishap, under
the blaze of powerful searchlights
from American destroyers and other
ships, according to a wireless message.
The task was difficult, although
the weather was milder and the sea
calmer than before.

BRITISH TO GROW COTTON
Board of Trade Report Shows 'eed
of Production.
LONDON, Jan. 22. Plans intended
to result in the production within the
British empire of enough cotton to
supply the hulk of the nation's needs
are outlined in a report of the indus
try in the empire contained in a re
port of a committee of the board of
trade, made public here today.
The report of the committee said
the industry in the empire drew four
fifths of its supplies from the United
States and expressed the belief that it
was dangerous to be dependent so
largely on the climatic vagaries of one
portion of the world. It also pointed
out that the United States is requir
ing every year an increasing propor
tion of its own cotton crops for home
consumption.

for 20 minutes this afternoon on his
way to California. -While the South

gathered around the rear platform of
the general's private car and he was
kept busy s-haking hands with the
grown-ups and kissing children. He
said he liked the climate of the Will
amette valley and he complimented
Eugene on the excellent showing it
made in the number of men it sent to
the army and navy.

at 5:15 this eveniifg and although but
short mtice was afforded of his com

Pershing leaned over the rail and
reaching down, grasped both out
stretched hands of a little woman
who had pushed her way to the front,
and drawing her up, kissed her fer
vently, saying, "Blanche, 1 am so glad
to see you."
While this little episode had not
been announced beforehand, it created
a profound sensation, and the vast
crowd who saw the tender salutation
was not aware tnat the -woman, Mrs.
Blanche Rioth of this city is a first
cousin of the great American general.
Only the most intimate friends of Mrs.
Rioth knew of her relationship to
General Pershing, but her mother and
the general's father were brother
and sister, and in the days when Per
shing taught school in Missouri, Mrs,
Rioth, then a girl, was one of the
pupils.
General Pershing spoke briefly to
the throng praising the valor of Ore
gon men in the army, urging greater
Americanism upon all citizens, dud
holding up the American Legion as a
stabilizing factor in the United States.
He shook hands with a number of
Civil war veterans and members of
the legion. The train stayed 15 min
utes.

NUCOA is table butten It displaces cow butter and.
does it without a single apology. If it w ere less buttery
than that which you have been brought up to call butter, it
would fail utterly. It is a great big success. Our five churn
ing plants have a daily capacity of 300,000 pounds. Just
think of it! Enough butter to spread nine million slices of
bread liberally. Never let anyone tell you that Nucoa
isn't butter. What else could it be when it butters all this
bread every day? , .
Let us tell you how it is made. We import the meat of the
coconut from Ceylon, Java and the" Philippine Islands.
This is crushed and refined; into a cream white butter. It
could not be finer. It does not contain a trace of water.
It is just pure coconut butter. Highly refined, rich, peanut
oil is added. This is just like olive oil in color and texture.
The richness and mellowness of peanut oil makes it'very
valuable. These two products are churned with cultured
milk that has first been pasteurized. When it leaves the
churn it is worked and salted th same as creamery butter.
The one secret is efficiency and care.
Nucoa is white because the Dairy Interests succeeded in
passing a law that took from us the use of the very color
that all cow butter contains. We supply this colorfree.
Process of coloring simple and easy. It takes but a,minute.
" Directions surround each print. Branded oleomargarine
to satisfy an old Federal Law passed 'before Nucoa was
made. Work 'with your Congressmen against these discriminations.
