General appearance of vegetables vfor a vegetable exhibit, uniformity, market condition, and a trueness to type are the principle factors to be considered, say the Oregon Agricul tural College Industrial club authori ties. In selecting mnskmelons the three should be chosen that are as nearly like as possible, of the same shape and size, and as nearly as possible the average for that variety In every particular. The netting and the de cree of ripeness should be the same. Conditions should be gives to the market conditions and requirements regarding size, shape, color and qual ity, since these are among the most Important points. - The different markets and com munities have slightly different standards of size and quality. The specimens should be selected with reference to the local requirements. - Methods of packing and handling fat the community where the exhibit Is to be made should also be given con sideration In making up the pack after the specimens have een se lected. All dirt or soil should be removed from the vegetables by the use of a fine brush or the palm of the hand, which leaves a nice clean appearance with a natural lustre. Vegetables that are given an unnatural dull ap pearance by washing should never be washed. SOME MEASURES THAT FAILED. What congress failed to do some times Is a better index of the quality of consress than what it did do. In action is often more of an influence upon public life than action. Among the Important legislation that was before the late lamented congress and that failed of consideration or was defeated upon vote might be noted the following instances: Snffragistg and prohibitionists both were unsuccessful. House Judiciary committee members agreed not to em barrass each other by forcing a floor vote on either measure. Despite strenuous efforts, especially by suf fragists, this decision was not changed. Senators Kenyon and Htistlng fought determinedly the forty-two million dollar river and harbor bill, an alleged "porkbarrel" bill. They lost by only one vote, on one test Toll call. In efforts to lessen it. Had they obtained the tie, Vice-President Marshall was all loaded to vote against the bill. LaFollette made a spectacular flght against "secret diplomacy," which, he said, was one of the main causes of the European war. He pro posed the consideration of all treaties In public: a national popular vote be fore congress could declare war; and advocated a provision forbidding the use of the army or navy to collect 4ebts due private American Investors, bankers or bondholders In foreign fonntrles. He never got more than ten rotes In favor of any one of these measures. On conservation measures the house and senate early reached a deadlock. Tn a general way the house wm more radically conserva- 1 One Hundred and SHOES FOR ALL SHOES FOR SCHOOL The right kind nml the right price ' KINNEY & TRUAX Tablet, pencil, ruler ami whistle with each pair of school shoes. tionlst than the senate. As a result, no bill on that subject was passed. SesAtor Galllnger and Representa tive Humphrey of Washington at tempted to repeal the principal sec tions ot the LaFollette seaman's act. They met with too determined resis tance. The proposed Colombian treaty, which would have patd that country $25,000,000 for the United States' alleged aid to the revolution by which Panama became Independent, died In the foreign relations committee. R0U1NIA LOSES LAND TO BULGARS Berlin, Sept. 11. More than a third of the territory taken from Bul garia by the Roumanians at tfie dose of the second Balkan war has been re-conquered by the German Bulgarian forces. The Roumanians and Russians are again in retreat toward the Danube, abandoning still more positions east and southeast of the fortress of Sllls tra, said Buda Pest dispatches today. In a little more than a week the combined German and Bulgarian forces have captured far more Rou manian territory than the allies have been able to take of German territory since the beginning of the war. Two Roumanian fortresses. Sills tra and Tntrakan, have fallen to the invaders. The Roumanian and Slav prisoners now total more than 30, 000. Large captures of guns has seriously affected the Roumanian artillery supply. The capture of Silistra. officially announced yesterday, is expected to cause the early withdrawal of the Russo-Roumanian forces still oper ating near Dobric, in southeastern Roumanla. The force that occupied Silistra is advancing eastward, while a Bulgarian army continues to move northward along the Black sea coast. The enemy already is in a deep pocket and an eastward advance of twenty miles by Germans will make his with drawal difficult. Whether the German-Bulgarian ad vance marks the beginning of a real drive on Bucharest, the Roumanian capital, critics here confess they are unable to decide. In some quarters it is believed the Germans plan to drive the Russians and Roumanians 'behind the Danufce and the Constanza : railway and throw up strong defen - jRive lines to check a Russian - Roiitnanian march on Bulgaria. j The Buda-l'est newspaper Az Est : declared that the Bulgarians have now conquered practically all the itowns which they were forced by the treaty of Bucharest to surrender to ;the Roumanians. Thanksgiving ser- i vices are being held throughout Bui- garia because of the victories over the Roumanians and Russians. ATTEMPTS TO FIjOAT STEAMER BEAR FAIL Eureka, Cal., Sept. 11.

The attempt of the New York traction companies to crush union labor is the first direct result of the eight-hour legislation passed by congress to prevent a Tall- road strike, a statement from the Amalgamated Association of Car Men charged today. "Capital does not Intend that this legislation shall even go on the sta tute books." the statement declared. "The New York traction companies are backed by the most powerful ag gregation of capital in the world. The seme financial Interests are hack of the railroads of the country. This at tempt to crush unionism is the first step In the great fight by money against union labor that it may not realize the results of a twenty-five year fight won by the eight-hour bill passed by congress." Samuel Gompers, head of the American Federation of I.tor. was closeted In his rooms at the Contin ental hotel today with union leaders of the city. Plans for a general sym pathetic strike which would call out 800.000 workers and paralyze the city were still under discussion to day. The central committee repre senting the Central Labor Federation of Greater New York, the Brooklyn Central !abor union, the New York State Federation of Labor, and the American Federation of Labor was to hold Its first conference at 2 o'clock. This committee has In its power the ordering of the proposed general strike. BATTLE OF BREAD ! FOUGHT AT KOVEL At the German Front near Kovel, Russia. Aug. 16 (By Mall). The great "Battle of Bread" has just been fought at the village of Zwlnlacze be tween Russian, German and Austrian troops, with the honors about even. The German captured Zwiniarze, brought up thlr army bakery, and had JiiHt turned out 10,000 loaves, when they were forced to retire. The regiment on their left flank hud failed to advance and the retirement at Zwlnlaoze was necessary to atralght- 'en the lines. j The Germans entrenched a. few .hundred yards on one side of the vil- lage. The Russians entrenched about the same distance on the other side. : A group of Germans slipped Into Zwlnlacze and started back with ull the bread they could carry. j The Slavs saw them, but instead of firing slipped out of their trenches for a raid on the bakery. The Austrlans lumned In and for a few minutes Rus- , Elans, Germans and Austrlans met at the army ibakery with their arms too full of bread to fight. j But when the supply began to run low some one drew a knife. The battle was on In an Instant, with both sides rushing up reinforcements, Before It ended the ground about the bakery was strewn with the bod leg of dead Russians, Austrlans mans, some of them still their loaves of bread. and Ger clutchlng Mining blanks at the Courier office.

II, The greatest dtutoiutratlou against the new UrltlsQ blacklist staged in any country attracted an Immense crowd at the i'lata Congreaso Sunday after noon. The pltua wan packed. Ten political and patriotic organisations participated In the' demonstration, but their members were outnumbered by the great throng of business men and their employee who gathered to protest agiilimt the British .blacklist. The speaker Included some of the It urn t prominent politicians and pro fessional men In the Argentine capi tal. They accused the Hrltlsh of at tempting to break down the whole structure ot International law and declared that no neutral nation should submit to the throttling of lis own trade by any belligerent.
