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.
The further fact that the first attempt
to standardize the output of the two
counties was made this year under the

Origin of the Khaki Uniform.
• ------0------ .
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.
