Hiff and is St. Mawes Lad's Lady. She has become the champion butterfat producer of the world for her age and will occupy a prominent niche in, the hall of Jersey fame. This coveted record is not the re sult of accident or sudden flight. It is rather the outcome of years' of In telligent effort. This cow is of the manor bred so far as blood is con cerned. She is of the Jersey aristoc racy, following down certain well de fined lines of breeding which has pro duced a cow accomplishing more than any other like animal in the world in her class. And yet it takes sometlrnjr more . f than proper breeding to make a cow a world-record breaker in butterfat. It requires consistent, capable di rection on the part of somebody and in this case Mr. Iliff was the individ ual, who very largely made it possible for the accomplishment. During the period of the test, Mr. Iliff milked this cow at every milking, part of the time twice a day, part of the time three times a day and the balance of the time four times a day, and right on the tick each time: 6:20, 12:20, 6.20 and 12:20. It will be noted from this that Mr. Iliff had to get "up at midnight and milk the cow, and then do it again at 6:20 in the morn ing. This is not the most convenient hour for such a service, but Mr. Iliff deemed it necessary in order that the cow be given everv chance in the contest. Occasionally, this milking might have been delegated to others, but Tot so with Mr. Iliff. He was on the job every day and night. And the milking was orJy a small part of it. The lady had to be fed and fed right. There was no allowance for "off" spells which might be due to under- i feeding or indigestion. He was dl atmd it rs possible that the gasoline conveyances are going to be the means of making notable changes in railroad conditions, which will eventu ally be for the benefit of the railroads as well as the public. The railroads are almost as essen tial today as they were before the ad vent of the automobiles, but they will find that they will have to meet the changed conditions. This means service at a price just as low as the other fellow can furnish it, WOOD MEASURE House TABLED Dangerous The Non-Partisan League of Ore gon has come into official existence The same general principles and plans as the North Dakota organization are to be effective here, and a general state board has been selected, con sisting of J. D. Brown of Tortliwid as president, A. J. French of Carlton, Yamhill county, vice president, and M. Benedict of Albany, Secretary. Oregon will not prove the fertile field of Non-Partisanism that North Dakota has been. The percentage of agricultural population is much smaller here and the North Dakota organization has fallen way short of accomplishing what was claimed for it. There is no doubt that some Ore gon farmers are dissatisfied with con ditions, but a large majority of these are too level-headed to make a plunge without picking their landing place. CLINTON V. M'LEOD HEAD MARINE OFFICE IN SPOKANE Lieutenant Clinton W. McLeod, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Job McLeod of Independence, has just been placed in command of the Spokane marine corps recruiting headquarters of the Montana division. The Spokane Daily Chronicle in making the an rouncement, prints a halftone cut of the young man and says: "When Second Lieutenant Clintoru W. McLeod replaces First Lieutenant Charles D. Baylis, in command of the Spokane marine corps recruiting headquarters of the Montana division on August 23, another marine officer with a brilliant service record will be in charge of the station at 8120 Wall street. "Lieutenant McLeod worked his way from the ranks to a first lieu tenancy, temporary appointment, dur Committee 8es Precedent. Washington. D. C The administra tion bill designed to permit Major Gen eral Leonard Wood to become governor-general of the Philippines, without retiring as an active officer of the army was laid on the table by the house military committee without a record vote. Committeemen were sultl to have held that It would be a dan gerous precedent to establish. Practically all committee members were reported to have favored tabling the measure, which makes It certain that the bill will not come to a vote in the house. No criticism of General Wood was expressed at the committee session. General Wood, It was argued, should retire from the army If he wished to accept the Island post. In The Churches M.

Mr. Iliff is an apt illustration of the oft repeated declaration, "Heights by great men reached an-d kept -were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward through the night." Oregon is fast becoming the home of (notable Jersey cattle Climatic conditions are the most favrobale in the United States. Here there is no contending with extreme hot or ex treme cold weather, both being against heavy milk production. And of the Oregon country, Polk county is carrying off a big share of the Jer sey honors. IS PRICE CUTTING THE REMEDY?

We all know what we om-bt t d but few kj.ow what they are going in m iares was 01 irequent occurrence. Then came the present period of uni form prices. This latter arrange ment appears to have been quite sat isfactory to the railroads until the automobile entered into competition to such an, extent that railroad pas senger traffic dwindled to an alarm ing extent. Kailroad executives are frank to admit that they are confronted with a very serious problem. Auto pas senger lines and auto truck lines have been having rather an easy time of it. Rates are fixed a little lower than the rail charges and a prosperous business has been the result Railroad officials have endeavored to point out that patronizing the auto lines will eventually prove expensive to the public, but the public has not fully sensed the gravity of the situ ation, and railroad passenger traffic continues to dwindle Some of the interurban lines are applying the old time price slashing remedy. It is now k vogue on the Portland-Astoria run of the Spokane, Portland and Seattle railway.' The fare has been reduced to only a frac tion of what it formerly was and the business shows an increase which is really gratifying to the railroad so far as numbers is concerned. The auto lines do not appear to be faring so well, and should the railroad con tinue its bargain! fares for any great length of time, the gasoline con veyances will be forced out of busi ness It is likewise intimated that on the Oregon Electric line between Salem and Portland there is going to be a reduction, in fares, sufficient to induce the public to more , liberally patronize the railroad. For service, there is noth'rg equal to good, live competition. The need tana, northern Idaho and- eastern Washington. As active rceruiting will be resumed on September 1, he plans to look for suitable town in which to open up new substations in the district.

The turbot is one of the largest of the flat fishes, and one of the species that Is of most value commercially, It Is seldom over two feet long, and weighs about 18 pounds, although 90 pound turbot have been caught. Its body Is very flat and wide, with a long fin on the top and bottom ridges, Its upper surface Is brown, and cov ered with hard, round knobs. The turbot Is a sea fish, and Its eggs five or 10,000,000 to a fish float on the ocean surface, but the full grown turbot prefers a sea bank, where It lies on Its lighter side. Both the eyes are on the upper side of the body. The turbot abounds off the western coast of Europe, where it Is caught for export. Maxarln'a Great Library. At the beginning of the Fronde In trigues In Paris In 1648, when Anne of Austria, mother of Louis XIV, was queen regent of France, Cardinal Maz- arin's library held 40,000 books, and was the most Important collection of books then existing. Mazarln was compelled to retire from court, and the French parliament voted the con flscation and sale of his library. Louis sent Fouquet with unlimited power to bid It In, but the parliament, compre hending that it would in this way be returned to Mazarln, ordered Its com plete dispersion, by Belling It in small lots. The librarian was so affected that he died of a broken heart. ' The ' do. r-3 i ' mms uuu Lb M Ready- Your mm If m W U U Haw Bash horse it to os-i when you can't et the time to come to our market.
