Unfortunately I have misplaced his name and address.

Have two parties who can furnish goats wanted, one living up Camas way and another and larger lot down In Douglas and Curry county. Wish you would print this letter, with the request that the man get in touch with this office. There is being manifested a larger and. interest in the goat -industry. At our 1921 show we expect to have the largest gathering of Angora and milk goats ever seen at one show in the United States.

40, which provides that boys and girls- in this state cannot marry under the ages; of 21 unless they obtain the consent of the parents 01 guardians, was introduced yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Anna K.

The measure also provides that no marriage license should be issued where one of the contracting parties is of white or Caucasion race and the other yellow or Mongolian, and that health certificates should be presented upon the application for a marriage license. "This measure would merely extend the parental 'control three years, said Mrs.

Colwell in speaking for the bill. "People of this state look forward with hope to this bill as a probable remedy of the divorce menace. Nearly all the divorces occur when the marriages have taken place when the boy or girl or both were too young to marry." "When father or a mother objects to the young man that a girl wishes to marry then 1 I believe that the parents have the welfare of their daughter at heart. Despite the two amendments, one prohibiting the inter-marriage of the races and the other requiring health certificates-the main object of this bill is the extension of parental control." Representative W. H.

Winfree, of Spokane, was one of the opponents of the bill, declaring himself heartily in favor of early marriages. "If the parental control over said Mr. Winfree, "is not sufficient, then there is no law that we can enact that will serve the purpose." Judge A. S. Moore, also of Spokane, spoke against the bill and pointed out that perjury would be one' of the greatest evils that would arise from the passage of the measure.

On final roll call there were 53 for the bill and 35 advocates for the early marriages.

No white-wing city laborer of Chicago or New York does his work more faithfully. Unlike the municipal enploye the child crossing tenders ply their sweeps independently and without wage. At the end of the crossing however, the pedestrian almost invariably finds the little ones holding their brom in one hand and extending the other for alms.

Payment in penries is given freely but the pedestrian has a problem when he finds several seekling to clear his way and awaiting their payment combatively at the curb, NIGHT SCHOOL IS ORDERED bY 10 SCHOOL BOARD SHORT TERM WILL BE TRIED OUT BY SCHOOL AUTHORITIES SOON.

This means a saving to the people of this country of many hundreds of thousands of dollars for the reason that a live stock show at all of the World's fairs has been built from the ground up for that particular purpose and afterwards has been destroyed.

We have figured that a live stock show in 1925 should continue for two months, giving over, say two weeks to the beef breeds, at which time the entire buildings would be used for that purpose, with the exception we would handle the at the same time, the hogs taking up the hog and sheep divisions. A week in between to allow going and coming of the breeds and then two weeks of dairy cattle, using all of the cattle facilities for this again. In connec-1 tion with the cattle would be the sheep and goats. Another week between and then two weeks of night horse show, poultry show and other live stock activities. By the end of this season we shall have accommodations for over 1500 head of cattle for each time, a larger number than was ever assembled, to the best of my in any show.

We already have the largest sheep in the country. At the end of this year by combining our sheep and hog space it will be possible to put on a show of at least 1500 head of breeding sheep, while our horse department could be made temporarily big enough to take care of 1000 or more.
