AWARDS WON AT SHOW Compulsory Dipping and Increase of Flocks in Oregon Are Ad vocated by Association. Goat raisin? received added impetus by completion of organization by growers under the tide of Oregon Mohair Goat association, during the Pacific International Livestock expo sition in Portland. Kxhibits were pledged by a num ber of leading Oregon growers for the 1920 exposition, among them John B. Stump & Sons, Monmouth; U. S. Grant, Dallas; W. I. Gilliam & Son, Dallas; a F. Zysset. Scio; H. B. Steiner, Sixes; and several other firms. William Riddell & Sons with a full line of Angora stock were in Portland and took many awards. R. W. Hogg, Marion county grower, was one of the exhibitors, and both firms will show again next year. Compulsory Dipping Urged. Action was taken by the associa tion to provide for compulsory dip ping of all goats. Such requirement is now possible in the case of sheep, but the law as at present on the statutes does not apply to goats. Membership in the association is open to growers of goats in any state. It is not designed to make the selling of mohair a part of the business of the organization. Constitution and bylaws adopted provide. for co-operation with thc.for est service in utilization of forest areas for grazing both in summer and winter. J. 1 Peterson of the United States forest service addressed the meet ing. His statement that more than 2,000,000 acres of forest range is available for goat grazing indicated the possibilities for the industry in the northwest. Olcott Support Industry. Estimates of the cut-over areas available, made by the chamber of commerce, include more than 2.500, 000 acres. Governor Olcott has as sured the association of his cordial support of the idea of getting more goats on Oregon ranges. State Veterinarian W. H. Lytic addressed the meeting on the sub ject of goat parasites, dipping and treatment of disease of the few kinds to which goats are subject. Stomach and tape-worm, as in sheep, are the principal troubles encountered. He related that takosis had at one time been present in flocks, but had been eradicated and is not known in Ore gon at this time. Arrangement of exhibition fleeces, to include the best product of the South African ranges, the Turkish or Armenian growth and fleeces from goats of the southwest and the Ore gon country was intrusted to a com mittee headed by John B. Stump of Monmouth. Specimens of manufactured textiles made from mohair, the fleece of the An go Pa. goat, will be included in the exhibit. Products manufactured from mohair are quite extensive, ranging from finest dress fabrics to plush upholstery and imitation fur trim mings, much of the latter being scarcely distinguished from real fur. This exhibit will be prepared in such form as to be shipped to various state fairs and livestock or textile exhibi tions, x Increase In Flocks Advocated. Secretary Oran M.

The staple is selling on a basis of 45 cents a pound in the northwest and up to 60 -cents a pound in the southwest states of Texas. New Mexico and Arizona. The department of agriculture was requested by the Oregon Mohair Goat " association to begin a survey of the - northwest to determine results from grazing goats on forest and other area si It was stated that 125 dif ferent kinds of browse were available on lands of the states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and northern California, all edible and relished by goats. H. B. Steiner of Sixes, Or., asked the association to request the United states biological survey to . aid in eliminating predatory wild animals, such as coyotes and bob-cats, from the ranges in Curry county. Request will be made by the asso ciation for appointment of an out state judge for goat exhibits at the 1920 Pacific International Livestock exposition, and at the state fair. Officers of the association are: U. S. brant, president; "William Riddell, vice-president; Oran M. Nelson, Cor vallis, secretary. Mr. Nelson will supply information to growers who desire membership. Thirty Angora goat raisers are now in the associa tion, half of whom attended the meet ing November 19. . , MANDATES ARE FAVORED DEVELOPMENT. OF NEAR EAST TO BE HASTENED. ious to have us do so. Some of the leading British statesmen are urging our acceptance of such a mandate on our own terms and conditions, with a splendid confidence in the expected reasonableness of our demands. "From my personal contact I am convinced of their sincerity in wish ing us to share with them the largely Increased duties and responsibilities thrown upon the more powerful na. tions by the recent war. All the na tions are particularly interested in its beneficent influence in every di that its problem shall be removed permanently from further conflicts. No solution that will rouse the oppo sition of regenerated Russia will suf fice. Only the acceptance of a man date by the United States would sat isfy all. "But America cannot accept a man. date that will not meet with general approval at home or which compels the United States to assume charge of district detached and isolated, to which she does not possess free and continuous access by land or sea. Only if we are given a chance to es tablish an active, energetic replica of our own democracy that will spread its deneficent influence in every di rection will the imagination and real interest of the Americans be aroused. "Our people will expect Great Brit ain to welcome us in the Mediterran ean and the near east not as a rival or competitor, but as a full partner, with all rights, privileges and respon sibilities.

Mr. Morgenthau thinks that J300. 000,000 or J400.000.000 should be loaned by the United States for the development he proposes, the money to be raised by selling bonds here. He said he thought that with proper assistance Constantinople could be made the fourth metropolis of the world and that the commercial and Industrial opportunities offered by a revived Turkey would attract thou- tions. with fines aggregating $35,000. Besides setting up these local trib unals to which complaints against dealers are submitted, appeal trib unals have been established in speci fied area! of England, Scotland and Wales. In addition central commit tees also have been formed -to inves tigate supposed trusts or monopolies which may be manipulating whole sale, prices. This has been done un der the profiteering act.

I am trying to set that wave in mo tion now." In closing his talk Mr. Morgenthau insisted asrain that there was no offi cial sanction behind anything he said, and that his Idea of a renascent Tur key was not included anywhere in the report of his visit abroad which he will make to Secretary Lansing. FIGHT DELAYS WEDDING Baltimore Chef anquisned Dy Waiter, Who Uses TMshes. BALTIMORE. A wedding at Fifth regiment veteran corps hall, was al most broken up when tn cnei a diminutive negro and one of the waiters participated in an impromptu battle, during which over $10 worth of cups, saucers and other dishes were niARhfid aerainst trie iour waiia. xne waiter was victorious, as several ol the dishes which h threw hit their mark. Meanwhile the bride. Miss Rebecca Brenner, the best man. maid of honor and over 100 of their inenas were seated at the tables in the banquet hall waiting to be served. Patrolman Clarence Lilly, north western district, was summoned, and arrived Just as the chef, with blood flowinsr profusely from deep cuts about his head, was about to hurl i decanter at the waiter. The cook re sisted and Lilly was forced to subdue him with his espantoon. After his wounds were dressed at Maryland eeneral hospital the man was taken to the station house, where he and the waiter were charged with die turbins: the peace. After the broken aisnes naa neen swept up the wedding celebration was resumed. 30-Year Term la Constantinople, Armenia and Anatolia Urged by Morgenthau. NEW YORK. Henry Morgenthau, formerly American ambassador to Turkey and who seven months ago was sent abroad by this government to investigate conditions in Poland and other of the countries which used to be part of Germany and Austria Hungary, returned to this city with a proposal that the United States as sume a mandate over part of the- near I east for the next 30 years. Mr. Morgenthau's notion is his own, and in outlining it he made clear that he did not speak either with the au thority of any one In Washington or at the suggestion of statesmen repre senting nations allied with this one in the war. He said that he had reached his conclusions only while on his way back to this country. His idea is that the near east de spite its natural resources, will never develop unless it can have a guarantee o peace for a term of years and an opportunity to establish itself indus trially and economically. It would be Impossible, he believes, for any coun try suspected in the past of having pretensions toward the east to offer its guardianship now; therefore the United States should do it. "The United States," he said, "should accept a mandate for Constantinople, Armenia and Anatolia. Ureat Britain, France, the Russians in Paris and many of the foremost Turks are ani- CARD OF THANKS.

Uhei Masumoto, Japanese labor delegate to Washington, in out lining his views before leaving here, declared that the only advantage of the cotton-spinning industry in Japan possesses over other countries was that voung women may be employed I for long hours at small wages. He considered this advantage a flimsy foundation for a big industry. and profits of a large number of arti cles in common use. It has formed costings committee, composed of distinguished accountants, which is assisting the central committee in its task.. A sub-committee on trusts has been empowered to obtain whatever technical and expert assistance may be required. Controlled Articles Excluded In scope, the act applies to "any article or class of articles which is one of a kind in common .se by the public," or to any "material, machin ery or accessories used in the pro duction of such articles." The act does not apply to "controlled", ar ticles, such as butter, sugar, beer, flour, liquors commodities for which maximum prices were fixed by war time legislation. A clear-cut definition of the term profiteering" has been a point which has given local tribunals much diffi culty in the prosecution of their tasks. So- far, the definition laid down by Sir Auckland Geddes, presi dent of the board of trade, has been accepted as a basis ter prosecution. It follows: The making of an un reasonably large profit, all the cir cumstances being known, by the sale to one's fellow citizens of an article which is one, or one of a kind, in common use. On the moot question cf what con stitutes an "unreasonable profit, C. A McCurdy, parliamentary secretary to the ministry of food, recently de clared, "One of the causes of profit eering is the fact that the public seems to have lost all sense of what la a reasonable profit. A good prin ciple for tribunals to work upon is not to ask themselves whether the profit is higher than someone else is charging, but is the profit arrived at on any reasonable business principles or is it merely dictated by avarice and greed?" Hormal Trade Wanted. Mr. McCurdy has characterized the profiteering act as "an abnormal remedy for an abnormal state of pub lie feeling an act not intended to harass British trade, but to help to restore it to a normal and healthy condition." , Critics of the government's anti profiteering machinery point to of ficial figures just published in the board of trade's Labor Gazette show ing that, despite efforts to beat down living costs, the reneral le ji of re tail prices on October 1 was about 120 per cent above pre-war figures, or an increase of 5 per cent as com pared with the level of September 1 last when the local tribunals were just getting under way. But it is not contended, even by these fault finders, that the increase would not have been larger had the government made no effort to bring the profiteers to book. Against such objections may be set such testimonials as that of the Yar mouth profiteering committee which claims that a reduction in wholesale prices by as much as 35 per cent has been noticeable in that locality. Membership of the local tribunals Is fixed at from seven to 25. two of whom must be women. All com plaints are heard in public except in special cases when under authority of the board of trade, proceedings may be in private. Books or docu ments produced at private hearings are to be treated as confidential if the person producing them so de sires. Labor is represented on the local tribunals and on the central committee, among the members of the committee being J. H. Thomas, executive head of the railway men during the recent strike and Ci. H. Piuart-Bunning, president of the British trades union congress. Local tribunals have . been em powered to Investigate all claims Why Worry About Hired Help?

Members Decide Issue. Questions before local tribunals are decided by a majority of the members present and voting. Any seller ag grieved by any f inding ' of a local tribunal, other than a decision to take proceedings before a court' of! summary jurisdiction, may appeal to the appeal tribunal for the area in which the local tribunal is operating. The institution of court proceedings is not the only function of the local tribunals they may dismiss the com plaint entirely, declare the price which would yield a reasonable profit on the article in question, or require the seller to repay to the complain ant any amount paid by him in ex cess of this stipulated price. Local tribunals all over England have lists of complaints for investi gation. The articles range from flanelettes at 36 cents a yard to boot laces at 25 cents a pair; from en ameled sauce pans at $1.45 to spools of cotton at 14 cents; a Westminster committee has been called on to in vestigate a charge of $125 for a woman's hat, another of $85 for a coat and skirt and a charge of 8 cents for a breakfast roll. A complaint was made before the Walton-On-Thames committee of a charge of 62 cents for & lamp shade which, it was alleged, could be pur chased a few miles distant for 32 cents. At Bangor a man complained that he had been charged 65 cents for tea for himself and a friend. The com mittee ordered a refund of 16 cents. Efforts instituted among retail dealers to check profiteering "higher up" among the wholesalers has been of much assistance to the central committee in its investigation of 12 or more suspected price "combines" including dealers in boots and shoes, cotton sheeting,- tinware, blankets, ready-made clothing, soap, tobacco and medicines. Imposition of prison sentences has not been uncommon although it has been a general practice to impose maximum ' fines in glaring cases of guilt with a threat of imprisonment should there be a second infraction. It is declared to be certain that parliament, during its present sitting, will extend the time during which the profiteering act shall continue in force.
