Too many things are taken lor g-ranted by the average farmer.

All the equipment necessary for keeping such records will be . on ex hibition and their, use explained by persons in chargre. The time required in keeping- such records will be record ed from day to day. It is the intention to make' the dem onstration as educational as possible, and to that end Commissioner Mickle has secured the services of such well known and successful dairymen as J. M. Dickson, of Shedd; William Schul merich, of Hillsboro; 'W. K. Newell, of Seghers; A. E. Westcott. of Banks: also Professor R. R. Graves, of the Oregon Agricultural College, who will deliver a series of addresses In an amphitheater arranged in the dairy barns. With the cows directly before the audience and the work of each cow placarded so as to be easily read, the speakers will be assisted in bringing out much valuable information before each audience. Public DlanuslOB Invited. It probably will be shown that one cow will produce butterfat at a con siderably less cost than some otner cow in the herd, and if so, for what reason. It might be shown that that particular cow was favored by having heavy-producing ancestors or mat sne was of splendid dairy type and con formation, that ail the feed consumed was not used in rounding up a sleek appearing body, but that a goodly por tion was converted into mun ana rai terfat. , Everv nhase of the production end of the dairy business will be discussed; and any person interested win ne in vited and be at liberty to ask ques tions.

Jo u s ?bvn&r DAIRT and Food Commissioner Mickle will exhibit at the Multnomah County Fair to be held at Gresham. September 14 and IS, inclusive, a dem onstration herd of dairy cows. This herd will be made up of cows loaned for the occasion by resident dairymen of Multnomah County, and will comprise the various breeds used for dairy purposes, viz.: Jerseys. Hol- steins, (Suernseys. Ayreshires, Brown Swiss, Red Pole and Shorthorns. TneBe cows will be put upon test for the week, daily individual recordB will be kept and shown upon a placard benind each cow, giving her name, date of freshening, daily production in pounds of milk, also butterfat, and the value of same at current price. Then there will be charged against each cow her feed cost, showing the number of pounds of each kind of food con sumed and the cost of same. This rec ord will be carried forward from day to day as an actual demonstration, to show whether or not the cows are be ing milked at a profit or a loss, and in either case what the exact amount of profit or loss is that may be accred ited or charged to each individual cow. The greatest obstacle to progress in dairy production is the 4ack of definite WIFE CHEAPER THAN MULE Missionary Gets Bargain Offer of Two Maids for $7 0. BOSTON, Aug. 30. "Wives in China are fairly cheap and you can buy one for 35." asserts the Rev. Frank B. Warner, of the American Board or iom misAioners for Foreign Missions. "A man in China literally takes a wife." he says. "He has paid a bar gained price for her. She is just as his mule, only the mule is worth about twice as much. Wives are pretty cheap in China. For example. Mr. Pye. our mission, who is unmarried, was of fered two the other day for something under J70. "This was considered by his Chinese friends as a rather good bargain.

MINISTERS OF WARRING COUNTRIES ARE WATCHED CLOSELY BY PUBLIC Premier of Rou mania Credited With Keeping Neutrality Emile Combes Thought Associated With Ex-Premier Caillaux of France in Effort to Discredit Millerand New President of Hayti Has No Tenure on Post. 1 llti..i'p'" ' 1 r vy - -i If- v ft jJliZ- J J"TB, -- - m)p JWU.Vi I y- ,.. . .v- ? 'aX r NEW YORIC Sept. 4. John Bra tiar.o is the Premier of Roumania, and is credited with being re sponsible for tne policy of that coun try, which up to this time has resisted pressure to join the allies, though not allying itself with Germany. The trustees ot a fund established by an American medical paper have unanimously selected Dr. Rupert Blue, head of the Federal Public Health Service, to receive a gold medal as the American physician who did most for humanity in the domain of medi cine in lai4. Emile Combes is believed to be asso ciated with ex-Premier Caillaux in an effort to discredit Millerand. the French Minister of War.- Combes is an ex-priest. He has been a member of several Cabinets. His political rec ord is about as malodorous as that of Caillaux. Premier Vivian! is reported to have said that he will stand by all the individual members of his Cabinet, and that if one goes all shall go. Brigadier-General R. K. 10 van s is in command of the post at Iaredo, and will take prominent part in the border operations under General Funston. The English papers have got excited recently over T. St. John Gartney. our Consul at Munich. They are angry because of his pro-German utterances, and they call attention to the fact that he has a son-in-law in the German army. The fact that Mr. Gaffney is of Irish descent may have quite as much to do with his German sympathies. M. Dartiguenave, who has been elected President of Haiti to succeed the murdered Guillaume, was president of the Senate of the Legislature of that country when the recent revolt occurred. Though chosen President, he has no assurance of stability in that uncertain office, in 6pite ot the presence of American marines.

SxnocklnK Is the term Applied to the ornanjental shirring that gathered the Varment Into the neokband, and likewise adjusted be fulla of tbe tluTt into a wristband -oroufC All over Europe smocking is applied to the outer gar ments of men, women, and children. And now it is appearing not only on the wash frocks of women and children, but even upon coats and dresses of silk and velvet. As a piece of fancy work, there are but few methods that attain such effective result with, so little effort. If you would obtain the beat esulta, however, jrou must be sure that the work is oareruuy marked, the stitches absolutely even, and the same tension applied to the thread throughout. Mark off the rows of dots with a pencil and ruler, or use the pattern as above. The steps In preparing the material are clearly shown In Illustrations num bered 1, 2, 3, and 4. Taking a short stitch under the dot and a long- one between givea best results. A J-'o. 6 to No. g needle and any of the colored cottons will prove best In work. The pointed design shown In Fig 2 makes a most effective finish used for yokes, sleeves, etc In ar ranging this make your dots so that they are of a number divisible by four, with none remaining 20. 26. 82, etc - Leave the space of one dot between points. In arranging the shirrings to fit a pattern, leave a long thread at the end of each row. Then place the shirred goods upon the pattern you will cut by and ease tbe shirring threads to suit. Fasten eff at once. For a round yoke It is well to cut the shape of the yoke from heavy paper and tack the shirred goods te It. The work will thus be correoUr shaped vkn l-lsh-
