Cheese Reports for Coos-Curry.; By an interview with Claud II. Giles, salesman for the Coos and Cur ry Counties Cheese Association, we gather the following information in regard to the cheese handled by the association during the last year and which represents the cheese manufac tured by the factories which are mem bers of the Association during the period from March 1, 1917, until Dc- cember 30th, 1917. As Mr. Giles does not keep the books of all the factories but only of the Association therefore he can not give the amount of milk handled but the above figures show the strength of the associated factories which rep resent the bulk, though not all o' the factories of the two counties. The figures of the association fur ther show that the average price re ceived for cheese f. o. b Myrtle Point was a trifle better than twenty-two and two-tenths cents per pound on the entire yield. Figuring the high rate of freight charged between local points and the main markets the asso ciation has certainly made a very creditable showing for the first year.

Some years ago, in India, a company of English troops grew w:ary of ex posing themselves in white cotton uniforms to the fire of the enemy snipers. So they adopted natures good old law of protective coloring and daubed their uniforms with mud from the banks of one of the sluggish streams. Those who direct the affairs of the arjny in India heard of this camou- flage and proceeded to make some in teresting experiments. What they dis covered eventually pleased them, for eventually a uniform of this color as a standard was adopted for all the troops in active service in the East.
