ley E. Mitchell, Mrs. G. J. Ayers and
Herbert N. Proebstel.
For two years Jack has been an act

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.

Iiapers call "the first Western round-up
ever held east of the Rocky Mountains."
Show Vividly Described.
jvn account or it, as witnessed by one
of the reporters on the Petersburg
papers, says: . .
"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.
"He kept three ropes spinning at one

time, and lassoed five horses at one
time. 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. Principal of 'these
were John and Eddie Burke, prominent
cattlemen of Amelia County, who loaned
all their cattle for the affair. ....
Mr. Proebstel is planning to go to
Framce soon In the interests of recre
ation in camp life for the soldiers.

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

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

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

Cottage cheese or any dish prepare

It is a positive waste to put up with the old,
time consuming, back breaking methods of dusting,
cleaning and polishing woodwork and floors. It is
a waste of money, too.
There is an easier way. A quicker way. And a

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
