Crater lake itself, are sure thereafter
that Nature is Indeed the greatest

County Agriculturists Thompson of
Josephine and Cate of Jackson coun

Winona Berkshtre ranch. Saturday,
August 5,' for the purpose of giving
Mr. Steel an opportunity to demon

ing, as exemplified by his world-renowned
Winona Berkshlres.
This was the original intention of
the meeting, but it straightway de
veloped Into a gathering In honor of
Great, Grandmother Steel eighty-
two years young who was the center
of attraction, as the hostess of the
day, ably assisted by her two grand
children, Francis R and Carol, his
sister.
A roast pig had been provided for
the occasion (Agriculturist Thomp
son claimed it was a Duroc Jersey.)
and the way the 125 people present
dispatched his plgshlp was no reflec
tion on his sire. Beside the pig,
there were an even dozen pf roast
dneks, and they, too, followed In the
path ot the pig. '

he had been judged, at one of the
Washington fairs. His success with
this boar Is ample proof of the asser
tion that one good sire will make the
reputation of any breeder. Mr. Steel
has sold over $6000 worth of pigs
of this breeding since the first of
the year, orders coming from all parts
of the United States.
The people who were present surely
enjoyed a treat, as Steel went from
pasture to posture, going over the dif

' PROFIT FROM WASTE
We are having these days a stiff
test of an old and popular economic
thepry. This Is the theory that waste
makes prosperity''
This theory hss hsd Its commonest
tional law experts say she would be
within ber rights in actually with
holding the calbegrams.
In that case the United States, ac
cording to one lawyer, would have no
recourse aside from the drastic step
of declaring England's action "un
friendly." Other state" department experts,
however, hold that the matter will
be one for the strictest sort of pro
test, If it could be proved. And, there
is no mistaking the temper of ' at
least a part of the department on the
subject.
Tbe expert who believes there Is
no ground for protest, says that Eng
land Is within ber rights In control
ling cable matters in her own Juris
diction, and that this jurisdiction in
cludes the territory of her ally, Rus
sia. In other cues,- where the
United 8tates has protested, British
Interference was charged as between
the United Statea and countries other
than England's allies.
