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.
County Agricultural Agent R. A.
Illanchurd. who arranged the meet
lug, requested that the council pre
pare a definite program of work to
conform to a project basis of en
deavor. Accordingly the council, af
ter hearing Mr. Blanchard'a report
of tho year, charged him with the
following: to secure co-operative
orders for strychnine, and farm
seeds, alfalfa, clover etc.; to work
out a plan for a community stock
shipping car; to work up a bull as
sociation: to devote efforts to In
creased fertility and assist the farm
era on the high desert;, to help es
tablish hardy varieties of grains
and farm crops; to work out prob
lems of soil, crops, livestock, econ
omics and sociology with a commit
tee of three for each one.
The council passed a motion In
dorsing the work of the biological
survey and asking for assistance in
campaigning against the sage rat
with the help of the county agent.
Every member present expressed his

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.
