T*i I T amook Headlight, February 18, Farm House Burned. The farm house belonging to W. C. King and 1. C. Smith at Blaine burn ed to the ground on Sunday afternoon the loss being between $2,000 and $3,000. Mr. Smith and his family were in the city at the time, and Mr. and Mrs. King had gone over the hill to see some stock, leaving Mrs. Morton, Mrs. King’s mother, alone in the house. A snag was burning near the house and when the fire reached the tree tops it is supposed that a spark lit on the house and caught the roof on fire. Mrs. Morton heard the shin gles cracking, and going out side saw that the roof was on fire. She could do nothing to prevent the spread of the lire on account cf her advanced age, and it was not long before the whole house was in flames, and when Mr. and Mrs King returned the ruins were flat on the ground. Neither family bad any insurance on the bouse or their furniture, which are a total loss. Besides this loss was their provisions, grass seed and farm too's. Washington’s Patriotic Birthday Program.

Surprise Party. » . .3 0" Saturday’ a party of friends met at the home of Mr. Kcldson and then went to the home of Mr. Barger and most pleasantly surprised him in hon or of his birthday. Although taken completely by surprise, Mr. Barger, will a few well chosen words of thanks, bid all welcome to his home, Mr. and Mrs. Keldson with piano and violin, and Mr. Barger playing his bass violin rendered some fine music for dancing and singing. Mrs. Barger served a bounteous supper which was enjoyed by all. At a late hour all de- ported for-home, wishing Mr. Barger miny happy returns of the day. Those pre sent were: Mr. and Mrs. John Keldson, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Feld- shar, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Heyd, Mr. and Mrs. James Barger, Miss Amanda Feldshau and Charles Barger of Port land, Ore. To Can Crabs and Clams. F. J. Bowers who recently arrived here from Pesino, Cal., and who has rented the Small cannery for a short time for the purpose of canning clams will begin operation at once. The impression seems to have got ten out that the clams will be dug with plows and dredges. Mr. Bowers Says this is not true. All clams will be ■ dur with shovels and no small or < bal y clams will be taken. Every clam ha- to be separately examined and cleaned before canned and in conse quence it does not pay to handle '•mall clams. Mr. Brown says that one of the asons why the clam canning busi- did not pay on the southern C i ifornia Coast was because of the ^Slipping of oil by water, at times KK' : c quantities of crude oil would be ^Blrown into the ocean for one reason Or another and this oil would come in «n the beach and kill the spawn from V th female crabs.

Hundreds of similar ex amples could be cited. Mr. Rockefeller, on the other hand, has had no hobbit s, and he has not hampered the administration of his foundations by whimsical personal conditions.

The same spirit is shown in his gifts for advancing agriculture ar.d research as to the cause and cur. of diseases of man and beast. Mr. Rockefeller appears to have chosen the wiser plan. Collier's Costic Critics. You can’t fool all of the people all of the time, but one or two experien- ces at Washington shows that you can fool most of your party most ot the time—which serves nearly as well. Peoples of Europe are supposed to have a small voice in their govern ment, but the voice was of the “Let George do it” sort, and so “George” did—get them into a war in which millions will lose their lives. A little "direct primary” over there might help this. Too many people are left, who, when an evangelist tells them their city is "going to hell,” ask “What is that?” Why may not a poet sing the same song of spring every year, instead of inventing something new? The robin does and loses no friends. Each convict now sent to Joleit is subject to a psychopathic examina tion. The old terrors of prison life are disappearing, but new ones are taking their places. Toothpicks also have risen in price. Too much conservation of forests. Europe’s war is described in the vernacular of the day as the result of everybody being “all dressed up with no place to go.” Now there’s a general anxiety to get back in the old work ing clothes and throw the shooting irons into the river. One of those wholly academic ques tions which can so often, of late arouse a great deal of thunder if not much of real lightening, is now on the tapis again. Some one, perhaps with the laudable purpose of diverting at tention from the European war, has again suggested, or, at least, hinted at, a division of Texas into a number of sovereign states. If it came from somewhere outside of that really im perial state we should term it a sug gestion. If made anywhere inside, it could not possibly have been more than a hint, and such a hint that the man making it would have to be very circumspect in the choice of words. Speaker Clark in his eulogy of late Sereno Payne, chairman of House Committee on Ways Means when the last Republican iff was enacted, revealed one of reasons for his own personal popu larity with Republicans. The fact that so many Republicans hoped for his nomination at Baltimore was not dm' to a belief that he would be "easiest to beat.” Any student of human na ture knows that such a theory is a slander on the race. There may be an occasional partisan who makes his living out of politics who is guilty of such scheming. But the average man desires the nomination of a candidate because he likes him personally. With local candidates this feeling becomes so strong that many men are drawn into the opposition party's primaries. In counties which are one-sided, the majority party has found the primary invaluable for recruiting purposes, on this account.

Below is the list of the cows in the Nestucca Cow Test’ng Association that made good records in their class es at the end of eight months testing, l’he Association did not start work last spring early enough to get a com plete lacation record on all the cows so there are no doubt some cows that would have qualified if the records had started earlier that did not quite qualify on this report. A herd of cows 'ike this published list would indeed be a profitable herd for a man to own but when we think that out of about six hundred cows tested there is only about loo in this list, it shews us that there is indeed room for cow testing Associations in this county. No man in the dairy business can afford to keep a mature cow that produces, under normal conditions less than 250 pounds fat in a ten month lacta tion period or a heifer that makes less than 200 pounds fat in the same time. The low producing cow is respon sible for more discouraged dair, men and failures in the business than any other factor. Her elimination from their herds means more to the dairy men of Tillamook County than a two cent raise in the average price of but ter fat. If it costs $50.00 a year to keep a cow and she makes only 150 pounds fat at 35 cents per pound, you are only getting $2.50 for your labor while if she gives 350 pounds like the one who heads this list you will have $72.50 left. The only sure way to detect the un profitable cow is by systematic weigh ing and testing of milk so as ta know each year exactly what each cow is doing. Instead of this county support ing only two Cow Testing Associa- tions it s'lould support ten with every herd in the county keeping yearly records and dairying on a business basis. Roy C. Jones.
