Their test reveals that in their herd are tw o animals, one o f which is paying a handsome profit and the other has been a positive loss to such an extent, including w ork that there is very little profit on both. One cow gave 6,381 pounds of 4.4 milk which made a total o f 361.4 pounds o f butter, which w as sold at a total o f $109.38. It cost to produce this, $64.67, leaving a net profit o f $444.71 t o be applied to labor and in vestment. The other cow pro duced but 3,350 pounds o f milk which brought an income of $55.52 when sold as butter fat, making a loss tor this animal of clean cash o f $9.15, beside the labor. The more our dairymen use the test and scales the more sure they are to make a profit on dairying.—Oregon Agriculturist. The presence and support of such loyal fans as Wilson and Larkin, o f Newberg, was not suf ficient to pull the Beavers through as winners in the opening ball game at Portland Tuesday. The score was 2 to 1 in favor o f San Francisco. The whole country is in mourn ing over the fearful loss of life oc casioned by the wrecking o f the steamer Titanic in North At- lantic waters, A collision with a floating iceberg was the cause and more than 2,000 people are reported as lost, while 700 were rescued. The Oregon Electric Railway Co. has recently purchased depot grounds in Corvallis at an ex penditure o f $20,000 and the line is to be extended from Al bany to the Benton County metropolis. We also hear from time to time that the Oregon Elec tric and the Southern Pacific are both making heavy investments in grounds for depot sites at McMinnville, Forest Grove and Hillsboro, but neither company so far as known, has taken any active steps toward locating de pot sites in Newberg. Just why they should pass Newberg up while they are getting located at all Other points in the valley no one here seems to know. Possi bly they think a sudden change from what we have been putting up with here all these years would prove to be a greater shock than our people could stand Since the last issue o f the Graphic Newberg has had a va riety o f public entertainments. On Thursday night a lecture, with interesting scientific demon- stratiôns, was given on radium liquid air and wireless telegraphy in Duncan’s Hall. On Friday night at the college Montaville Flowers, president o f the Inter national L y ce u m Association gave readings from “ Ben Hur.” On M onday evening the Apollo Concert Co. also gave a splendid entertainment at the college. On Saturday afternoon Mrs. Ada Wallace Unruh gave a talk on the equal suffrage question and on Tuesday afternoon United States Senator B ob LaFollette, candidate for the Republican nominatiqn for President ad dressed our citizens in a short talk. At all these public meet ings, with the exception o f the first, the attendance was good, and at the first it was fair. F or variety, Newberg has seldom, if ever, had such on array o f high class talent on tap in the same space of time. We are becoming quite m etropolitan. Brooks Bros, had the misfor tune of having tw o horses strayed or stolen last Friday and nothing can he found o f them. John Lynn is painting the first mill of this place for Ernest Han son. J. G. Wohlschlegel took a load o f hogs to Hillsdale on M onday. F. G. Miller has been making daily trips to Newberg, working on his lots north o f the depot on Main street. There will be a band concert given by the Kinton band at the Artisan hall Saturday night fol lowed by a free dance. The Tualatin Mill Co., is haul- ipg lumber from Hall Bros, mill at Mountainside this week. The Present County Recorder, H. S. Maloney has had more than 33 years experience with the land surveys and records o f Yamhill County, but has never held a lucrative position until since M ay 20th, 1911, when a deputy was allowed his office. He gave five years’ service to his country during the Civil War and reconstruction period in the South, earning his cheverons at 16 And a lieutenants commission at 18 years of age. If given an other term, at its expiration he will even then, not have held the office tw o full terms after ¿he salary was placed on a paying bases. Paid adv. It A score or more of years ago three notable Americana crossed the ocean in one another’s company, determining to tour Qrqat Britain and Europe together, but because o f a personal peculiarity that made them "th e observed o f all observ ers” wherever they went they soon decided to separate and even sought different lodgings. Any reader who vividly remembers Bishop Phillips Brooks o f Boston (he was not then a bishop), the Rev. Dr. McVickar o f Philadelphia and H. H. Richard son, the builder o f Trinity church, Boston, will easily guess why they decided not to travel much to gether. However, they all chanced to be in Leeds at the same date and saw the advertisement o f a lec ture to workingmen on “ America and Americans” by a locally popu lar speaker, and, wondering what the man would say about the States, the three Americans decided to at tend. B ut’ they agreed to go to the hall separately and to sit in differ ent parts o f the house. In that day English speakers and writers often Bhowed abyssmal ig norance o f the United States, and showed it boldly, for there was no one to correct them. The story o f the English newspaper writer who spoke of the New York people fear ing to travel as far as Harlem be cause o f the Indians and the hunt ing of buffalo in the outskirts o f the famous city near Niagara falls was not all a joke a score o f years ago. pu t the speaker at Leeds was a particularly ignorant fellow and seemed to have a strong bias against the English speaking breth ren across seas. Finally he touched upon the size of Americans and fin ished a peroration with the flour ishing statement that Americans were proverbially short o f stature and that the tallest o f them never exceeded five feet ten inches in This was adding insult to injury in the case of the three Americana resent. Dr. Brooks could not keep is seat He rose suddenly and cried out: “ My friends, that last statement o f the orator o f the even ing is too, too mnch! I am an American, and, as you can see, I am rising six feet,” and, being a big man, he looked gigantic as he stood there defying the lecturer with his hand raised. “ I f there are any oili er Americans in the audience I hope they will "Stand up, too, and refute this man’s wild statements.” Expressions o f surprise were fo l lowed by a titter o f Laughter when, slowly and majestically, Mr. Rich ardson rose from his seat. “ I am an American,” he said in his mel low tones, “ and my height o f six feet one inch causes no remark in my own country. I f there is an other fellow countryman in the house I hope he will rise.” The audience waa now on the <jui rive, and when, after an impressive wait o f a few seconds, Dr. McVick ar began to unlimber every eye waa fixed on him. There was scarcely another man in the American pul pit of hia day that made so impres sive a figure as the good doctor, for he was four inches over six feet in height. He began, “ 1 am an Amer” — But he got no further. A burst o f laughter and applause welcomed the notable exceptions that certain- lv disproved the lecturer’s rule, and the lecturer himself was booed off the platform.— New Y ork Tribune.
