Wright, Mrs. J. W. Roland. Mrs. Hed ley E. Mitchell, Mrs. G. J. Ayers and Herbert N. Proebstel. For two years Jack has been an act ive worker In the Playground Recrea tion Association of America, of which organization Theodore Roosevelt Is the honorary president, and whose mem bership list numbers some of the most representative In attainments and wealth in America. Mrs. Elsie French Vanderbllt , is one member, and last sea-ion In Newport she gave Mr. Proeb stel her personal check gor several thousand dollars and wrote 200 letters to her own friends asking them to con tribute to the fund he represents. This fund is called the War Camp Community Fund, which has for Us Idea clean and healthful recreation for the boys in camp. Through Mrs. Van derbilfs influence Jack raised 340.000, which went to found the first -club for recreation of soldiers at Newport. Since then these clubs have sprung up at all cantonments. A few weeks ago Mr. Proebstel was sent to Camp Lee, In Virginia, by the War Camp Community Service to put on an en tertainment for the soldiers, with mem ories of western life and all the mate rial In the way of riders and horses and a few real westerners In the Vet erinarian Training Camp to command.

"The exhibition of skill and daring given yesterday by the cowboy soldiers from the veterinarian training school of Camp Lee at the fairgrounds was wit nessed by 10,000 people from all parts of the state. The affair, which was given by the war camp community service under the direction of local Secretary J. R. Proebstel. of Oregon, was one of the most picturesque ever seen In Virginia and the first real Western rouud-up ever held east of the Rocky Mountains. . . "All of the contestants were students at the vterlnarlan school at Camp Lee and were some of . the most famous cowboys In the "world. - Every sport known to the cowboys was staged at the show yesterday and thrilled the spectators. Bucking bronchos, bulldog gin g- steers, riding wild mules and other hair-raising stunts were staged by the cowboys. "The feature of the show was the work of Montana Jack Ray, the world champion trick roper. He fully lived up to his reputation and thrilled the spectators with his work. Standing on his head, Ray lassoed a horse as It ran by at full speed. Again the 'horse was lassoed at the tall by Ray. Another stunt pulled by Ray was to lasso a horse while turning a somersault.

Ills exhibition of trick riding was of a kind that has never before been witnessed In this city. "The only man east of the Mississippi taking part in the show yesterday was Marqullles, of New Jersey, formerly of the Second Cavalry, who won the Ro man ride. He won this event In easy style, standing erect on his two horses. The goat-roping event was won by Arizona Zeke Smith with three seconds over his nearest competitor. Smith won this event in la seconds. "The bulldogging contest was won by Rocky Mountain Schaeffer, the world's champion bulldogger. This event fur nished many thrills. Riding by the side of a swiftly running steer, the cow boys would Jump from their horses to the- horns of the steer and throw It to the ground. "The officers race was won by Lien tenant Langhorne, who finished a nose ahead of Major Ackerman. The night shirt race and the potato race provided the spectators with much amusement. while the wild mule race was as thrill ing as any of the other acts. This con test was won by Wyoming Pierce, with Arizona Smith second. "The proceeds of the affair was dl vlded equally between the home service of the Red Cross and the company fund of the veterinarian school. Several thousand dollars was realized from the show. " "The farmers of the surrounding counties contributed to the success of the affair by lending their cattle to be used in the show.

Commodity of Great Jfutrltive Value Is Plentiful at Certain Seasons. Demand at Present Said to Be Very Limited. Portland residents should substitute skimmed milk for meat whenever a surplus of the commodity appears on the market, says City Chemist Callo way. The usual sklmmed-mllk surplus ap pears in Portand between April and July, but there are other times when the local creameries have more than the trade requires and Chemist Callo way declares the people should buy this milk and use it. 'Like other cities," eald Mr. Callo way. "Portland has a. surplus of skimmed milk every year, usually from April to July. This is because there are more fresh cows at this time of the year than at any other, and because the cows give more milk on account of the abundance of green feed. Quantities Shipped Here. "In some places this surplus Is skimmed the skimmed milk being fed to pigs and calves on the farm and the cream marketed. In the vicinity of Portland the bulk of the surplus Is shipped tot the city dealers, who must JOHN W. HOWELL AT REST t"uneral of Former Wasco County ' , Farmer Held Friday. John W.

The cream brings sweet cream prices, at presen 61 cents per pound of 4 per cent milk. But since the Milk Commission rec ommended a price of $2.35 per 100 pounds to the farmer, the dealer mus find a market for the skimmed milk at $1.35 for every 10 gallons or there abouts, in order to avoid a loss on the milk. At. present there is. very little market for skimmed milk and only a limited market, for cottage cheese. Skimmed Milk Good Food. "Since skimmed milk contains ' about two-thirds of the food in milk, it is most economical food. Skimmed milk contains practically all of the protein of milk. It is to supply the protei demands of the body that we eat mea Cottage cheese or any dish prepare from skimmed milk Is a good substi tute for. meat. But meat can never be a substitute for milk because: . "First, meat protein Is not so easily assimilated and adapted to body needs as milk protein. Second, milk is a food nature has en dowed with properties for growth and repair; meat Is not. "Third, milk contains lactose, the most easily digested of sugars. "Fourth, milk can easily be prepare Into a large variety of palatable dlshe such as chowders, gravies, sauces, cua tards, puddings and pastries.

Mrs. Kldwell gives as a reason for her fail ure to marry Smith tha fact that she has not been divorced from her former husband, from whom ehe has separated. The couple will be detained in the county jail for a few days pending a more - thorough investigation of their activities.

W and his woman companion, Kate Kldwell, who were -arrested in an East Side apartment Friday night, probably will escape prosecution by the Federal authorities on a charge of conspiracy to violate tha espionage act. United States Attorney Haney said yes terday, however, that unless the couple were prosecuted by the state authori ties for lewd cohabitation, the Govern ment would seek their- indictment and prosecution for alleged violation of the Mann act. Special Agent Bryon, of tha Depart ment of Justice, and Mr. Haney yester day examined a mass of correspondence and miscellaneous literature seised by the authorities In the apartment occu pied by the couple at the time of their arrest, in tha expectation that evidence would be found upon which to base the conspiracy charge. Thua far they have not succeeded in finding anything of an incriminating nature. The bulk of tha correspondence apparently relates to the raising of funds for the defense of a band of L W. W. members now on trial at Chicago, and for the defense of Dr. Marie Equi. of this city, whose trial for an alleged violation of the ea plonage act is pending.
