Some fellow han predicted that the
high cost of living will continue un­
til the liberty bonds are all paid. It
would eeem under the circumstances,
that it would pay to make the gov­

A Portland shipyard went into the
hands of a receiver last week, the
explanation being the lack of orders.
And this, too, when the world is suf­
fering from a shortage of ships
which the firm was not permitted by
the government to build. Seven
months of marking time while Paris
was the capital of the United States

More Pork - .
With Less Corn
The mail of every publication in
the country is still loaded with cir­
cular matter from the government
printing office urging thrift upon
our citizens, which leads the Dairy
Review to remark: ’No thinking per­
son will deny but that more thrifty
habits are a great need among
American citizens, but the thrifty
and thriftless will unite in agreeing
that this same kind of advice would
also be good medicine for Uncie
Sam.”—Sheridan Sun.

One of the things that had not
dawned upon the people of Yamhill
county until the recent sale of reg­
istered Jersey Cattle at the Ed Cary
farm, near Lafayette, was that Yam­
hill county is at the foremost among
the counties that breed registered
stock. The awards recently won by
Delmar Perkins and Mr. Cary give
another indication of the excellent
milk producing animals which are to
be found in Yamhill county farms.
At Carlton Frank Brown, is breeding
Shorthorn cattle and he too produces
animals that have sold at high pric­
es. The Foothills farm is now spec­
ializing in Shorthorn cattle of milk
strain. Other instances of county
farmers having fine dairy cattle
might be mentioned. Each year at
state and interstate exhibits, Yamhill
county cattle men have carried off
prizes and brought home the ribbons.
The McGee herd is among these. All
the farmers who are raising pure­
bred types of cattle are assisting in
putting Yamhill county on the map.

is a great protection to buildings and
