THE FOLK COUNTY OBSERVER, TUESDAY, MARCH 23, 1915.
READY FOR STOCK SALE
(Continued from page one.)
ords. Bettie's Golden Oirl, one
Mr. Hewitt's good heifers by his old
bull, Rinda Lad of S. B., produced
510 pounds and ten ounces of butter
as a two-year-old and dropped her
second calf in thirteen months. She
will be tested again as a four-year-old
and Mr. Hewitt has every reason to
expect a record of 700 pounds.
John B. Stump & Son of Mon
mouth are the largest consignors,
They will have thirty-six in the Bale,
only six of them bulls. Moyane i
Monine finished her year's test Feb
ruary 16, with 211 pounds of butter,
subject, of course, to slight revision,
She will freshen in six weeks. She
came through in perfect health and
eood shape. Her average test was
over six and eight-tenths per cent
and she produced about 10,.r00 pound
of milk. She hr.d a seven day test of
19.15 pounds. Her fine bull calf, just
a vear old. is not vet sold. Noble
Emerald of Fair Acres, a daughter of
Noble Peer, that freshened about the
first of the year, will be put in the
sale. She is milking up to twenty-
eight pounds and showing a good test,
She is on official test and the party
buying her can finish the test if he
desires. Several of the consignments
would not be Bold if the Messrs,
Stump were going to show this year.
They will sell show stock that would
win in almost any company. Some
especially sweet calves will be sold.
Thirteen of the cows to be sold are
already in the register of merit.
Knight Star, that had her milk flow
diminished by an injury to her udder,
finished her year with about 700
pounds of butter and 11,000 pounds
of milk. About thirty cows are on
test now. Some will qualify without
finishing, before the sale and buyers
can continue the test if desired.
. While Monmouth will furnish a
large proportion of the animals sold
and while the field man happened to
see the Monmouth consignors, it is by
no means the only locality furnishing
pood Jerseys. Frank Lynn of Perry-
dale will have a choice consignment
of eight females. He will have both
register of merit animals and cows on
test. Lady's Pet of Kilbourne, his
grand old island show cow, is anion
those now on official test and, while
not milking as heavy as she did last
year, is making a good record. Mr.
Lynn will take a show herd to the
I'annma-Pacific exposition and bus no
bulls he cares to put in the sale
W. O. Morrow of Rickreall is the
largest consignor except Mr. Stump.
He will sell twenty head, four of them
bulls. Of the sixteen cows, all but
four are in the register of merit any
they are on test or will be before the
sale. The bulls are all from register
of merit dams and some have register
of merit giandams. One bull's gran-
dam produced 708 pounds in a year
nnd one of her daughters, now on test
will also be sold. Mr. Morrow has
a few very choice young bulls not con
signed, that he is offering at private
snle.
Ward L. Hull, who gained a wide
acquaintance and the friendship and
confidence of Jersey men while acting
as official tester, will consign one cow.
Mr. Hull has been in the ranks of
the breeders since a year ago last
October. His cows are all of one line
of breeding except the cow consigned
nnd this is his reason for letting her
go, though she is an excellent pro
ducer. Koss Nelson of Independence
will put a very nice lot of young stock
into the sale, though his stock was
not seen, lioas does not predict ex
treme high prices, but expects this to
be the greatest sale so far as real
merit is concerned, ever held.
W. P. Allen, near Hickreull. will
consign one cow; the Newman Bros.,
near Amity will consign a few choice
ones, nnd Kicd l.oy of Independence
consigns several high class animals,
lis he is selling otf his entire herd.
And last, Kit. Carv of Carlton is the
only man outside of Polk county that
will have Jerseys in the snle. He con
signs two very fine two-year-olds. One
has an otlii'ial record already of 373
pounds in ten months ntni the mother
nnd sister of both of them have of
ficial records.
St. M awes' Tisha 2d, that started
official test at one year mnd five
months old and was reported in our
holiday edition to have produced 340
pounds of butter, was found, when the
club's official revision came in. to
have 40 pounds.
St. Manes' Poppy, has now 1SS0
pounds and eleven ounces of butter
to her credit in two consecutive
years. She was so hard to dry off nt
her last lactation she was allowed to
pet very poor and it not being tested
this year. Rural Spirit.
Tht Biggest Typewriter.
A typewriter that is nearly 2.000
times the size of the ordinary ma
chine is one of the novel exhibits at
the ranams-Pacifie exposition. 'While
installed principally as an advertise
ment, this enormous machine also
serves another purpose of as great
importance, since it is used for writ
ing newspaper bulletins that can be
read a block away. This machine.
which is 21 feet wide and 15 feet
high, is reported to have cost .$100
000. The tvpe are 3 inches in heigh
and print letters which are spaced 2
inches apart from center to center.
The weight of the carriage is 3,500
pounds, the diameter of the key cup,
which is the part of the machine or
dinarily pressed by the finger, is 7
inches, while the hollow cylinder is
larsre enouarh for a man to crawl
through. For using the machine, pa
per 9 feet wide is required.

will be held as prisoners of war, but
undoubtedly will be treated with
courtesy and consideration.
War is bad business at best, but ev
erywhere there will be a feeling of
gratification over the rescue of the
crew of the Dresden, instead of hav
ing this incident add several hundred
names to the already appaling casual
ty list. The Dresden was a sister
ship of the Emden, made famous by
her remarkable career as a sea raider,
and was the sole survivor of the fleet
of five cruisers under Admiral Von
Spree, who first defeated a British
squadron under Admiral Craddock off
Coronel, Chile, and later was himself
defeated by a large British squadron
near the Falkland islands in the
southern Atlantic. At that time the
Dresden mauaged to escape, and ever
since the British ships have been re
lentlessly in pursuit. The final en
counter occurred near the lone island
in the Pacific which furnished the
basis for the famous story of Robin
son Crusoe.
ENDORSED AT HOME.
Such Proof as This Should Convince
Any Dallas Citizen.
The public endorsement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none stronger
can be had. When a man comes for
ward and testifies to his fellow citi
zens, addresses his friends and neigh
bors, you may be sure he is thorough
ly convinced or he would not do so.
Telling one's experience when it is
for the public good is an act of kind
ness that should be appreciated. The
following statement given by a resi
dent of Dallas adds one more to the
many cases of Home Endorsement
which are being published about
Doan's Kidney Pills. Read it:
Mrs. Mary E. Gibson, 014 Church
street, Dallas, Oregon, says: "I have
used Doan's Kidney Pills and they
have been taken by others m our fam
ly. We think they are the best kid
ney remedy to be had. Doan's Kid
ney Pills act quickly on the system
ridding one of pain in a short time.
They also strengthened and regulated
the action of the kidneys."
Price oOc. at all dealers. Don t
simply ask for a kidney remedy get
Doan s Kidney Pills the same that
Mrs. Gibson had. Foster-Milburn Co.

SAVE I MONEY
You pay for portrait coupons.
The next time an agent tries to sell
yon a coupon, tell him you can get the
same thing in Dallas for nothing.
Every week I turn down some of
these schemes for fleecing the public.
Remember
The agent gets your 50 cents. The
photographer must get his money out
ef duplicate orders. At most, about
60 per cent will order more pictures.
The photographer who does this kind
of a business must either deliver a
picture of inferior quality, or charge
a higher price than the one who does
a legitimate business.
To any one who is in the market
for pictures, I will make and deliver
Free of Charge
one portrait, so that you can see just
how your picture will look when fin
ished.
In order to protect my trade here,
I will redeem any coupon or ticket
put out by an outside photographer,
and guarantee first-class results, with
out any further charge.
To take advantage of either of
these offers, bring this advertisement.

END OP THE DRESDEN.
The German cruiser Dresden, after
successfully eluding her pursuers for
several months, has at last met her
:ile near Juan Fernandez island, lo
afed 400 miles off the coast of Chile,
o which nation the island mentioned
belongs. Cornered by three Bntis'i
ar vessels of superior armament and
eed, the Dresden appears to have
been able to put up only a feeble re
sistance, as after only five minutes of
gliting the German vessel is said to
ave been completely "knocked out"
and put in a sinking condition. A
most satisfactory feature of the en
gagement is the announcement that
the crew of the Dresden was safely
rescued br the attackers, after the
German ship had displayed the white
flag of surrender. Fifteen of her
crew, badly wonnded, have been
landed at Valparaiso, while the others

BICYCLE RIDERS
ATTENTION
Do you realize that this is the be
ginning of the season for riding bi
cycles. The man who has his wheel
overhauled in early spring economizes
for the reason that he accomplishes
two things at one cost of labor his
bearings properly clear and oiled
bad bearings replaced at same time
(if any) at practically one cost. Oth
erwise one thing goes wrong here,
another thing there at different times
which makes it inconvenient for you
and also adds to cost of repairs. We
are well prepared to meet your de
mand in this line. Work guaranteed.
