Owintr to sickness of many of the growers, only about 50 members were present at the meeting, representing 100 shares of stock. The report of the business for the year 1921-22 was read by the manager. R. 1). Chatfield, and election of officers for 1922 was the only busines of any importance, brought before the meet ing. Owing to the market conditions ana me large crop the manager re ported only two of the apple pools closed. Final returns on SoitzenliiiriM and Newtowns cannot be made until late in April or the early part of May. Three hundred cars of fruit were shipped by the organization in 1921 and 1922, which is the largest amount or iruu ever shipped trom this district. Eighty-six thousand three hundred pound s of Royal Anne cherries were sold to canneries at a price of 4& cents perpounu; n.ivt suitcases ot prunes netted the Association 4ti Miiti nor suitcase or $ob per ton. bhipments on d'Anjou pears, which amounted to only five cars, netted $2.60 for combination extra fancy and fancy per box, and $1.60 for the choice grade; 1,389,000 ponnus ot cider apples brought $12 per ton to the oragnization. The only late pools to be closed were Delicious and Arkanas Blacks. Delicious averaged 6 per oox ior an grades and sizes Arkansas Klacks averaged $1.65 per box. Mr. Chatfield reported that 95 cars of apples remain to be heard from, 04 ot tne number being unsold and in storage at ea.-tern nointit and mnaititorl oi me rsewiown variety. In 1919 the Association innniriiratorl centralized packing for the growers of the.district who were not prepared to handle the large crop of that year on their own orchards. Fifty thousand boxes of apples were packed for the glowers that year. hast fall over 100,000 boxes were packed for grow ers. A tax of 2J per cent on all fruit is levied by the Association to retire the debt incurred in IwiilHinu- it,,, non tral packing plant. The packing charge mis year was i cents per box. The system of centralized packing has proven very successful and practical from the standpoint of the grower and assures me buver ot a mure uniform tirade and oack. All growers supplies are handled by the Association for the members, and in addition hav and cram am nnri-ioH and sold to the members at very near cost, which reduces the actual cash expense of the grower very materially. In 1921 100 cars of supplies were han dled, amounting to $100,000. Mr. Chat field reported that the Association would have to increase its storage space in order to take care of a crop exceeaing me proportions of the 1921 crop, which will undoubtedly be in 1923. The officers for 1922 who worn oW. ed at this meeting are as follows : Dr. C. A. Macrum, pres. : J. P. Carroll. vice pres. ; J. M. Carroll, Secy. ; Mo sier Valley Bank, treas. ; J. P. Ross and C. A. McCargar, directors. R. D. Chatfield. who has served as oi me organization lor the past ten Vears. was unanimously reeler-fprf Tho success of the Mosier Fruit Growers Association during the nast. has. hoon largely due to the untiring efforts of Mr. Chatfield 111 behalf of the crrnuiorw of the district. Large plantings are being made this spring by many growers of the dis trict, who are taking advantage of the lowered cost of nursery stock to offset damage done in 1919 by winter kill. No planting of any consequence has been dune by growers since 1914. Es timateslfor 1922 crop ulace the tonnatre at 100,000 boxes for the district, which is approximately 50 per cent of the 1921 crop.

HOUj & SAMUEL SANITARY kKET & GROCERY he 1811 Mr. Crosby Writes From Maine Brooks, Me., March 1, 1922. Editor Cilacier : Jot a few lines to my old Hood Kiver friends. I have been hearing about the long, hard win ter in Mood Kiver, and I expect from the Hood Kiver viewpoint it has been some winter, but if I understand right ly, your winter is over and will be soon forgotten, in part at least. Hut think of us people in Maine. They tell me we are having a splendid winter and I guess we are. It has been 40 below zero here and up about Hangor 44 degrees below zero. A few weeks later it was 3b' below and it has been zero weather I should say nearly half of the time, although it has been fine sleighing most of the time and fine sunny days. Today is the first of March and it was M below zero here this morning and the wind was high all through the night and piled the snow high in place. It probably will be good sleighing the rest of this month. There hasn't been a heavy fall of snow this winter, about two feet, 1 should say. It is hard to estimate the depth of the now because it has drifted so much 1 left Maine when I was 20 vears old and this is the frst winter I have passed in this state since and I had al most forgotten about the winters, but this winter has reminded me greatly. 1 don't believe I will ever forget again. Althogh I have enjoyed the winter so far, 1 would have liked it better here if we had Home of Oreirm' irond rnaria There are two kinds of roads; one is made for travel, the other is made with travel. The latter is the kind that is in use generally speaking, in ' this immediate section. J. R. Crosby. SfN-cial prices on Utah King Coal di I ml from the car. I'hone 211.

After a r.g and hard winter, the fyctem loses much of its resistance and people grow careless. When ev ery cold, no matter bow slight, is given prompt and intelligent attention, there is much less danger of pneumonia. It should be borne in mind that pneu monia is a germ disease and breeds in the throat. Chamberlain's Coagfe Kemeaj is an expectorant and cleans only cures a cold but prevents its re sulting in pneumonia. It is pleasant to take. Children take it willingly.
