In Europe they are saving an hour of daylight by setting their clocks back an hour and there fore arising an hour earlier in the morning. Perhaps the weatherman may be working on a similar plan this year and has all along planned to start May on the first of June. It is now fifty-live years ago since the civil war began am the ranks of the old soldiers who march to the cemeteries on the 30th of May each year grow few er iu number. While hesitating at nothing to honor the nation's defenders we can all unite in the hope that no cause will arise to swell their columns and fill in the gaps of the veteran brigade. Hacked by Delaware with its delegation six strong, the Hon Coleman du Tout, nemours, etc. is moving on Chicago, expect ing the business interests of the country to demand his nomina tion in the name of the salva tion of prosperity. If the Hon. Coleman desires a suitable run ning mate we suggest that he effect au alliance with Wm. Grant Webster, Oregon's candi date for the vice presidency. Notwithstanding assertions to the contrary, a business man of the east, in Monmouth last week asserted that business was not up to normal on the other side of the Rockies. lieyond con cerns affected by the demand for war munitions, the demand for goods is unhealthy and un steady. Retailers are afraid to buy stocks at the abnormal prices demanded and market foundution8 are very insecure. Dairy Commissioner Micklej copper cents to gold doubloons talks like a man with a mission and with a manner that carries conviction of personal sincerity with him. lie appears of the proper timber for a governor two years hence. It must be irritating to the rural citizen who hat to wallow for several months in the mud to contemplate the money being spent at Independence, but the fat is in the pan now and only the lawyers would profit by spilling it. Although the peace talk stead ily grows stronger the leaders oi both sides declare they do not want peace. Also they declare it with the manner of a man who has endured an enforcet fast and who is confronted with the sight of a well tilled dining table The success of tho creamerv nd the enlarging of its circle o patrons are matters of close in terest to Monmouth merchant and no effort should be sparei to boost the project. Reports are that several cot tages will go up during the sum mer to help supply the increas ing demand for living quarter Let the good work go on. The sore loser and the thin skinned man have no business iu politics. A grouch might U a successful business man but he stands a poor chance on a populur vote. Manufacturers of shoes are ir ritated by the fact that just now when the demand for leather is not only large but the source of supply of many kinds of leather has been shut off entirely, the styles for young women call for high boots which call for much more leather than the former styles. While the price demand ed for these shoes is very much higher in proportion than for the lower shoes, still the manu facturers are worried and at their -The death of Jan. J.

Hill's rmlnv.,) policy was the exact opposite ol that of many railroad directors with whom it is too commonly the case that monopoly of trans- ortation is laid hard on a grow ing community, the aim being to collect all that the trailic can stand and a little more. Hill be ieved in building up cominuni ties gaining his profit througl the increase in business that followed. He hnd vision far be yond the average railroad man and his death is a loss to the great Northwest with the de velopment of which he was in timately connected. The season of college com mencements is here and the editor acknowledges receipt of invitations to attend the exer cises at Corvallis and Eugene. The latter event is to be notable as it is the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the state uni versity. Headed for Butte Fred Steinberg who has been in the employ of E. M. Ebbert for some time past, has conclud ed to tear violently asunder thp ties that attach him to our fair city. It is his unalterable pur pose and fixed determination to pass the intervening leagues in some sumptuous palace car and take up his abode in that city sit ting among the hills of a far countree, otherwise known as Butte, Montana. Butte is famed which Mr. Steinberg purposes to pluck as soon as he arrives near enough to take off his coat and start the harvest It does not rain at Butte and the most avail-, able substance for irrigation, hu- ' man and geographical, is the; product of Schlitz and Anhauser Busch. Mr. Steinberg has prom-i ised to keep us informed of the j various turns of fortune that be- j fall him in the rip roaring Rock ies, of which more anon. Mr. and Mrs. Ireland of Cor vallis who were former residents of Monmouth and vicinity were visitors here over Decoration day with the former's daughter, Mrs. Columbus Tetherow as well as friends in this neighborhood. Mr. and Mrs. David Foulks and Mr. and Mrs. T. Zieber of Portland were in Monmouth Sun day helping Mr. and Mrs. L Grounds prepare for removal to Portland. The two women are daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Grounds and the latter will live near them in the city, Mr. and Mrs. Grounds left for Portland Monday. Continued from page 1 stick to the co-operative concern and in the end he would profit Another point was that he produce a good article of cream and bring it to the creamery in a sanitary state. A better product was the slogan which he wanted impressed upon the butter pro ducers. Good butter is always in demand. There is never enough of it As for second grade butter it can be sold if disposed of cheaply enough when the market is short of good butter but it is an unsatisfactory product all around. To make the co-operative creamery a success, insisted Mr. Mickle, it must produce good butter, and its patrons must hang together for the common good of all. Prof. Fitts of the Agricultural college followed with remarks along a similar line. He also said a few words for the work of the cow testing association. The work of the association tester is enabling the patrons who employ him to determine which of their cows are paying and which are not. Often the farmer will point out certain cows as the banner producers of his herd. This may be a cow which yields lanrelv when fresh and the test and reg ular weighing may show that this cow's milk is deficient in butter fat or she may give all her milk at the beginning of the sea son while a cow which gives a smaller amount when fresh may hold up the yield on through the year and in the end show a trrpar. er yield than the star performer at the beginning of the season, j The cow testing association employs a tester. Mr. Opsted, a graduate of the Agricultural col lege. He spends one dav each month with each member of the association. Where the herd is registered he spends two days. ms work is to weigh ud the milk of each cow, test it and put the resulting figures on record also figures out the cost of feed and maintenance and shows for each cow whether or not she is making money for her owner. He also prepares schedules of rations if such are asked for Mr. Dixon of Shedd. next followed with a few words in commendation of the .Tor.v as a dairy cow. For you a rose In Portland grows Yes!
