PROMINENT STOCK MEN
Three Large Breeders of Northern
Polk Attract Complimentary
Notice.
E. A. Rhoten, field representative of
the Paclflo Homestead, published in a
recent issue of that periodical, an
interesting series of observations on
the livestock and farming industry in
the northern portion of Polk county,
as noted enroute from Salem to Mc
Minnviile. From these we glean the
following paragraphs :
"Near McCoy, I saw Hon. C. L.
Hawley, who bad recently returned
from helping make the state laws. Mr.
Hawley was an important factor in
getting several valuable bills passed
and was a good man for the place.
However, I believe he enjoys working
with bis flock of Lincolns better than
anything else that he does. Lambing
season was well on with him and he
won't miss 150 per cent very far with
his eighty breeding ewes.
"The Domes farm was near and we
stopped to see bow Walter and bis Jer
seys were making it. So far as I know
this is the only Jersey herd in the state
outsideof Ladd's Hazel Fern herd that
are being officially tested. They started
this test last November and Walter
says that it is now an assured fact that
all that they have entered in the test
will enter the register of merit. One
cow with her second call gave 1243
pounds of milk in January with a 6.4
per cent test. They have a number of
others nearly as good and we will
expect some yearly records that the
state will be proud of. The Domes'
herd of Hampshire swine are a novelty
in this part of the country, to say the
least. Mr. Domes has bad these only
since last fall, but says the more he
sees of them the better be likes them.
He will exhibit them on the fair cir
cuit this fall.
"F. E. Lynn is another Jersey
breeder in the same locality, but
nearer Ferrydale. He has a beautiful
new house on his Kio-acre farm and is
a broeder of high-class Jerseys. He
has been a breeder for some time, but
last Fall took a trip east to purchase
a carload of cattle. After traveling
around a good while and visiting
many herds be finally selected a choice
car lot from the herd of Col. Scott of
Scott station, Kentucky, and now has
these on bis farm. He has a typical
Jersey bull Island brod at the head
of his herd. Mr. Lynn Is a very
pleasant man to visit with and Is
planning on making the fair clrouit
the coming fall. He has some heavy
milkers in his herd but tbey will
freshen at the wrong time to enter the
milk tests."
Report On Oregons Tour.
A meeting of the stockholders in the
Oregons basketball project was held
in the rooms of the LaCreole Club,
Wednesday night for the purpose of
bearing the report of H. L. Fon-
ton, who acted as business manager
of the team on its Eastern trip.
Although the report showed a con
siderable deficit, tbe amount required
to make up the lack will not bo great
and it is estimated that a payment of
70 cents on the dollar from those who
subscribed to tbe backing of the enter
prise will be sufficient. The report
shows that tbe trip was managed in a
most economical and careful manner.
The failure to make clear, was caused
not so much by carelesshandlingof the
funds, as by the difficulty In securing
a large enough proportion of the gate
receipts at many of tho games to pay
more than bare expenses. Ia several
cases the Oregons' share of the gate
receipts was not even enough to cover
traveling exjienses. Those who sub
scribed to the support of the enter
prise, however, seem In no wise in
clined to regret their in vi-stment, as it
Is considered by all that the advertis
ing which Dallas received during the
tour of the Oregons, is well worth the
expenditure.

Electricity for Lighting
Is only expensive to people who are
wasteful and careless. To you, who
are naturally careful, it does not
come high. .. . ..
It Is economical because it can be quickly turned off wnen not needed.
With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn when
not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes
the elootrlo light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month.
You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money
than eleotrlo light, but does it save you anything when it limits op
portunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes
your walls mars decorations and increases household work. You
could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals
but it wouldn't be economy. It Is not so much what you save, but
how you save that counts.
