TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT MARCH 6, 1910
Why Blame England lor Using Horse Sense ?
Senator Jimham Lewis arises in
his seat to denounce Great Britian
for taking steps to prevent the in­
vasion of her markets by foreign im­
ports whose entry the British gov­
ernment has concluded would make
the work of rehabilitatin
in the
United Kingdom more difficult. No
common sense person has expected
that our great commercial competi­
tors would fail, at the close of the
war, to take such steps as would
safeguard their own economic safety
as against our commercial interests.
Gf course we have had a lot of puer­
ile piffle from soleful psychologists
like Redfield and others more dis­
tinguished, about the new era that
was going to come after the war
when selfishness would be banished
from the hearts of men and our an­
cient business adversaries would lie
awake nights trying to figure out
ways and means whereby they could
promote our prosperity rather than
their own. The British government
will of course look after British in­
terests. The French government will
look after French interests. That, in
fact, is their first duty. The Bible
says that he who does not first look
out for his own household is worse
than an infidel. The only capital in
the world dominated by a coterie of
grabbing visionaries who strike
down legislation devised, and suc­
cessfully devised, to preserve Ameri­
can prosperity against alien invasion
to the paralysis of American indus­
try and the destruction of American
employment, is at Washington, D. C.
The people of the United States have
already landed one good stout kick
on the party responsible for this im­
becile policy, or lack of policy, and
at the next election they will jump
upon the Democratic jackass with
both feet and kick its ears, bray and
all into the outermost darkness.
Meanwhile why not cut out the
idiotic blither about Great Britian
having done something unexpected
in taking measures of Belf preserva­
tion and self-betterment at a time
when every real statesman is think­
ing seriously of the absolute necessi­
ty of keeping the home factory fires
burning, the home farms prosperous,
and the home hearts oontented? That
this policy Is not thought of by
Democratic politicians in Washing­
ton does not detract from the force
of this statement.

Council of the American Red Cross:
“To the American People:
“The War Council of the American
Red Cross appointed by President Wil­
son on May 10, 1017, to carry on the
work of the American Red Cross dur­
ing the war, at their request and by
vote of the Central Committee, ceased
at midnight, February 28.
"Immediately the armistice was
signed the War Council instituted
studies to determine when the strict­
ly war work of the organization would
have been sufficiently matured to en­
able the direction of affairs to be re­
sumed hy the permanent staff. Henry
P. Davison, being in Paris when the
armistice was signed, summoned a
conference there of the heads of a’l
the Red Cross Commissions in Europe
to canvass the situation. After con­
sidering all the factors It was con­
cluded to make the transition on
March 1. The very fortunate choice
of Dr. Livingston Farrand as the new
chairman of the Central Committee,
and thereby the permanent chief ex­
ecutive of the Red Cross, makes possi­
ble the consummation of this plan un­
der the moat favorable conditions.

New England’s 40-Ib Cow, the 40th to 1,380 quarts. The 30 day butter
record gives her second place on the
40-Ib Cow of the Breed.
■ - o-------
New England dairy cattle breeders,
and especially those who are inter­
ested in the Holstein-Frlesian breed,
have occasion to feel proud of the re­
cent performance of Rag Apple Aag-
gie Colantha 233800, a senior 4-year
old cow owned by D. W. Field Farm
Co., of Montello, Mass. The picture
presented herewith is from a photo
taken after 38 days of official test­
ing, and Mr. Stillwell, under whose
care this cow has made such a splen­
did record, says that her physical
condition was as near perfect as pos­
sible, even though she had made the
wonderful record of 41.24 lbs. butter
from 715.1 lb. milk in 7 days and
163.68 lbs. butter from 2,852.5 ibs.
milk in 30 days. Rag Apple Aaggie
Colantha is still producing around
100 pounds of milk a day and con­
siderably over 4 lbs. fat daily, and
will be continued in test for a least
60 days. Her appetite and digestive
ability have been fine. During her
tt?t the grain ration amounted to
about 21 lbs. per day.
Rag Apple Aaggie Colantha gave
51 quarts of milk in her best day,
and maintained an average of over
46 quarts per day for the whole 30
days, the total production amounting

received from her owners she is just
the kind of a cow likely to come
back at next freshening with a 50-Ib
record. She is naturally a high test­
ing cow and a heavy milker as well,
an extremely desirable combination,
attractive to all dairy cattle breed­
ers. She weighs about 1,600 Ibs.
When Rag Apple Aaggie Colantha
made her 3-year old record she com­
pleted the first and only set of four
generations of 30-Ib cows in a direct
line in the world. Her last calf by
King Ormsby Jane Rag Apple, the
353,200 bull, is a very fine individ­
ual, and some very flattering offer­

son, by Colantha Johanna Lad. She

in whose herd are many other fine
animals with good prospects for sim­

“Detailed reports to Congress and a
complete audit of its accounts by the
War Department will oonstitute the
final record of Red Cross activity dur­
ing the war. Although it has been
the rule to make public all expendi­
tures when authorised and to give de­
tailed information relative to all work
undertaken, the War Council In turn­
ing over Its responsibilities to Dr. Far­
rand and his associates desire to give
a brief resume of Red Cross war time
activities to the American people, to
whom the Red Cross belong, and whose
generous contributions have made pos­
sible all that has been accomplished.
“During the past nearly twenty-one
months the American people have
given in cash and supplies to the
American Red Cross more than $400,-
000,000. No value can be placed upon
the contributions of service which
have been given without stint and of­
tentimes at great sacrifice by millions
of our people.
“The effort of the American Red
Cross in this war has constituted by
far the largest voluntary gifts of
money, of hand and heart, ever con­
tributed purely for the relief of hu­
man suffering. Through the Red Cross
the heart and spirit of the whole
American people have been mobilized
to take care of our own, to relieve the
misery Incident to the war, and also
to reveal to the world the supreme
Ideals of our national life.
“Everyone who has had any part in
this war effort of the Red Cross is en­
titled to congratulate himself. No
thanks from anyone could be equal In
value to the self satisfaction every­
one should feel for the part taken.
Fully 8,000,000 American women have
exerted themselves in Red Cross serv­
ice.

“When we entered the war the
American Red Cross had about 500,000
members. Today, as the result of the
recent Christmas membership Roll
Call, there are upwards of 17,000,000
full paid members outside of the mem­
bers of the junior Red Cross, number­
ing perhaps 9,000,000 school children
additional.
"The chief effort of the Red Cross
during the war has been to care for
our men In service and to aid our
army and navy wherever the Red
Cross may be called on to assist As
to this phase of the work Surgeon Gen­
eral Ireland of the U. 3. Army recent­
ly said: The Red Cross has been an
enterprise as vast as the war itself.
From the beginning It has done those
things which the Army Medical Corps
