Perhaps what has been the best representative meeting of the entire countliia of Crook and Deschutes in Central Oregon took place at Red mond last Saturday, when 40 furm- ors and their wives of the County Agricultural council sat down to luncheon given by tbo domestic sci ence department or the high school. Men In tho same county living ISO miles apart, shook hands and ate pie together. One member or the council living 80 miles from tho nearest railway point traveled two days to attend tho conference. The occas ion waa the annual meeting or the County Agricultural council, an amalgamation of all the 24 farmers' organizations In the county, which looks after the best agricultural in terests of the farmers with the as sistance of a county agricultural ag ent.

In one of the fastest mat exhibi tions ever seen In Bond, Max Martin, of Bend, and Ernest Miller, of Sand- point, Idaho, wrestled to a draw last night at the Hippodrome, under the auspices of the Bend Athletic club. Each secured one fall In the 60 min utes of wrestling. The go. was at catch weights, Martin having nearly 15 pounds the advantage of bis op ponent. ..... . Miller took the first fall In one minutes and 40 seconds, wltb a Jap anese finger break. As the men shook hands, be retained the fingers of the local wrestler in his grasp and they went to the mat. Miller perfecting his jiu-jitsu hold, and ever tighten ing it until Martin chose defeat rath er than suffer a broken hand. The second fall took 53 minutes, Martin pinning his opponent's shoul ders to the mat with a body scissors and face hold. Miller took the ag gressive for the first 20 minutes of the mix, then the superior weight and strength of the Bend man told. .Repeatedly Miller secured apparent ly deadly holds, but was unable to exert sufficient strength to make them effective. Thirty-five minutes was left In which to decide the match, and again Miller assumed the offensive, during the last 10 minutes showing such good defensive tactics that Martin was unable to break the deadlock. Dr. G. L. Cousineau gave geneal satisfaction as referee. The preliminaries were good, Ted Hoke securing two straight falls from Kid Jeff, the first in four minutes. Because of the distance traveled by Miller, a generous donation was contributed by the crowd to defray hiB expenses back to Sandpolnt. and another purse was made up to be given to Martin in appreciation of bis work.

TO STATE AIMS AND IDEALS, HOWEVER. Germany Believed Self Convicted of Insincerity, Say British Army Too Well Prepared to Talk Peace, Is General Idea. By Ed. L. keen. United Preaa Staff Correspondent LONDON, Dec. 27. It was made ei tirely clear today that the allies will not accept Germany's proposal for a general conference on the peace question, but the Teutonic re ply was balled as a splendid oppor tunity for England and her allies to set before the world a statement epitomizing the Ideals and aims of the entente powers. The lack of sincere responsiveness, and the in conclusive nature of the reply, caus es England to believe that Germany is self convicted of lack of slncer Ity. - , Strong influences are at work to day to urge England to make this Insincerity more striking by a state ment of the allies' fighting princi ples. The public Is impressed by Germany's overweening desire for peace. The Britons believe that Germany realizes that her enemies are growing stronger as the Teutons weaken. REPLY IS PREPARED LONDON, Dec. 27. A conference of the ministers of various nations was held here today at the official residence of Lloyd George, on Down ing street. - Foreign Secretary Bal four attended. It is presumed that the meeting decided to prepare a note telling the world what Eng land la fighting for, as an answer to Wilson. It is known that Lloyd George and Minister of Finance Ri bot, of France, as well as the French Minister of Munitions Thomas, were in conference yesterday. ARMY SCOUTS IDEA By William Phillip Simms. United Press Staff Correspondent WITH THE BRITISH ARMY, In France, Dec. 27. "Never was the British army so well prepared to fight. Why talk peace?" j You can safely give that as the British army's answer to all peace talk, according to the declaration of a staff general answering questions as to what the soldiers thought of Wilson's note. To say that the American note fell like a bombshell, would be putting it mildly. Bombshells are more or less expected, while the step taken by Wilson was the most remote from the thoughts of every one. No body doubted Wilson's good inten tions, but the sentiment at the front now is unconditionally against peace. TO HONOR HEIRESS IN YULETIDE BALL (Br United Press to The Daily Bulletin) CHICAGO.
