Death of Harding
Mr. Coolidge opened his message
with an announcement to congress
of the death of 1'resident Harding,
and paid his predecessor this tribute:
"He has left his mark upon his
tory. He has mtwle Justice more cer
tain and peace more secure."
Congress and his administration
face the duty, the president said, of
developing and supporting the Hard
ing policies.
From his brief word of eulogy, Mr.
Coolidge swung directly into his mes
sage, with no waste of words. He first
took up
Foreign Affairs
America Is at peace with every,
body, he eaid, and her desire Is to
perpetuate that peacte by granting
and requiring full Justice. An Amer
ican policy minding our own busi
ness, recognizing our obligation to
help others, but reserving "to the de
cision of our own judgment the time,
the place and the method" must
guide, be said. Neither he nor the
senate purposes any change towards
the league of nations,
i "American has taken her place In
1 the world free, independent, power-
, ful. The best service that can be ren
dered to humanity Is the assurance
1 that this place will be maintained,"
i the president asserted.
World Court
I Declaring he is in accord with the
traditional policy of avoiding alli-
ances. and of settling . International
1 disnutes neaceably. Mr. Coolidge said
I he favors a court including the whole
i world. As the Harding world court
' plan pending before the senate is the
! only practical plan on wnicn many
j nations have ever agreed, tnougn u
I may not meet every desire. I there
I fore commend it to the favorable con
; slderation of the senate with the pro
j posed reservations clearly indicating
are refusal to adhere to the league of
nations " he said.
He urged the court be considered
without partisanship and pointed out
that it is "merely a convenient In
strument of adjustment to which we
could go, but to which we could not
be brought."
Russia
Russia must show "works mete for
repentance" before American recog
nitioa will be accorded, the president
said. Desiring friendship with the
Russian people, America "ought to be
the first to go to Uie economic and
moral rescue," of Russia when that
nation meets the conditions, he said
There is no objection to Americans
trading with Russia, but "our gov
ernment does not propose to enter in
to relations with another regime
which refuses to recognize the sane
tity of international obligations. I do
not propose to barter away for the
privilege of trade and of the cherish
ed rights of humanity. I do not pro
pose to make merchandise of any
American principles."
The president naid he Is. however,
ready to make "very large conces
sions for the purpose of rescuing the
people of Russia." Encouraging ev
idence of Russian return to the ways
of ordinary society are to be detec
ted, but there must be more, he Bald.
Conditions precedent to American re
cognition, he said, are: Compensa
tion of Americans despoiled by Rus
sia; payment of the debt Incurred by
the Russian Republic and abatement
of "the active spirit of enmity to our
Institutions." ',
Debts
The president included a pointed
reminder to debtor nations that this
government expects them to pay. He
emphatically opposed cancellation.
He said claims of thousands of
American citizens against Germany
will be safeguarded.
Here he referred to the recent ef
fort to aid Europe to stability and re
storation throuch the Hughes plan.
As to future policy in this regard, he
said: "We shall persevere In well do

Broccoli Concerns in Legal

DAMAGES DECLARED
Manager of Umpqua -Broccoli
Exchange Says the Word
"Um-Qua" Is An
Infringement.
The Tmpqua Ilroccoll Exchange,
the broccoli concern managed by Pos
ter Ilutner of this city, today filed
8ut
In the cicult court to enjoin
the I'm-qua Valley ilroccoll Growers,
the corporation managed by U. H. C.
Wood, from using the firm name
'which It has adopted, claiming that
. Illfr,,,,.., ,, th. n,e
; of the plaintiff corporation, which it
is alleged was first formed and
which has Bpent much money In the
( advettising of the words "Umpqua"
and "broccoli ' In combination. It is
further claimed that the Um-qua Val
ley Broccoli Growers are trying to
reap a benefit from the combination
(if the words advertised by the plain
tiffs and to secure profits from such
a name without the expense of plac
lug It before the people. 1
Butner, in his complaint, alleges
that' both concerns are engaged In
the same line of business, and quotes
from the articles of Incorporation to
show that such is the case. Ho fur
ther alleges, that "the plalntirf has
expended large sums of money In ad
vertising Its name and in advertising
Umpqua Broccoli as sold by the
tiff; that the plaintiff as a dealer
and handler of broccoli has become
well and favorably known to the
growers of broccoli, and to the trade
throughout the United States: that
plaintiff has established a profitable
and growing business in Umpqua
Ilroccoll; that the combination of the
words "Umpqua" and "Broccoli" In
r lulniiff's name is of great value and
that thlB combination of words has
been extensively advertised by plain
tiff and identifies plaintiff to grow
ers and to the trade."
Before the incorporation of the
Um-qua Valley Broccoli Growers, It
II. C. Wood. Its principal officer at
this time, handled and marketed
broccoli under the name Umpqua
Valley Fruit Union, later as the Ump
qua Valley Fruit Exchange and also
under the name of Umpqua Valley
Cooperative l'roduce Union and In
H22 and 1923 as the Umpqua Val
ley l'roduce Union, the complaint
states.
It Is further alleged "Thut well
knowing Hint the plaintiff had ex
pended much effort and money In
uo.ei liHlng itself and Identifying the
combination of words "Umpqua" and
"Broccoli" with plaintiff and
well knowing the value which had
been given to the soinblnatlon of
those two words, and with intent to
lienetlt therefrom without expense to
Itself, and In fraud of the rights of
the plaintiff and over the protests of
plaintiff, defendant adopted the
name "t m-Qua Valley Broccoli
Growers." thereby simulating plain
tiff's name, snd with intent thereby
to reap a benefit from the comblna-
!'ln f wrd. "Umpqua".nd
'Ilroccoll' made valuable
good name, advertising and work of
U pluintlff."
! The complaint further states that
Vr. Ilutner demanded thai the name
of the rlvnl concern, be changed and
In good faith offered to pay all Pi
pelines of changing the name, but
that he met with a refusal and that
the defendant company silll refuses
to change Its name although, "de
fendant could have assumed or
adopted any one of a multitude of
names without Infringing upon plain
tiff's name but adopted its present
name for the ptirpos of reaping an
unlnwfiil benent from Hie good
nine, work and advertising of plain
tiff." The cntnplHlnt also says that the
similarity or names Is very confus
ing to liie average person and that
the confusion hns resulted In the
wrong delivery of mail, telegrams
bills of lading and that other pa
pers are and will be continually for
warded to the wrong party. It Is
further claimed that the confusion
results entirely from the combination
rif the wolds "Umpqua" and
"Um-qua" snd "Ilroccoll."

UURKEY PRICE
i S TWENTY GENTS
Buyers for Eastern Shipments
State That Market Will
Not Permit High Price.
CONFERENCE IS HELD
Representative of Large Con
cerns Agree to Announce
Christmas Price to the
Growers in Advance.
Twenty cents a pound is the price
offered for the turkeys which buyers
are endeavoring to secure for ship
ment te (he eastern markets, ac
cording to an announcement made
today. At a conference held last
night at the Farm Bureau Exchange.
John Makins of Makins Produce
company, and Mr. Martlndale, rep
resenting Swift and company, stated
that the market conditions will not
Justiry a higher price, and they fix
ed the figure at whlcb they will ac
cept birds to make up the shipment
which they hope to send to the east.
They stated that the great slump
at IJiankaglving time puts the mar
ket In such shape that buyers can
not afford to pay more than 20 cents,
and with reports from the east still
discouraging, there la nothing to In-
dlcate that the price will be better.
They Indicated that the price for 4
the coast market will not be better,
and In fact, that It may bo lower
than 'JO cents. '
California bas 50 per cent more
turkeys than can be- consumed In
thut state, and tho market centers,
will not absorb many birds from out
side states.' In Los Angeles Call-'''
fornla birds are selling for 24 cents, . I
which, if packing and shipping .coals
are considered, gives the Oregon tur
key a i cent premium over the Call-. .
fornia fowls. Sales of Idaho tur
keys at 19 and 1 9 Vi cenls are re
ported.' In view of the low price it is
doubtful If many birds are shipped
out for the eastern market. It Is
reported by Mr. Banning. . manager
of the Farm Bureau Exchange, that,
the representatives of the two large
buying concerns Agreed to announce
their opening price for the coast ,
market several days In advance ot
Turkey Day, December 16.
The growers are now forced to de
cide whether (bey want to sell their
birds at 20 rents a pound, for east
ern shipment, and deliver them next
Saturday, or whether they will hold
them until the following Saturday
and dispose of them then. Inking
chances on a better or worse price.
Local buyers hesitate about giving
advice, c. K. Banning and George
Kohlhagcn, two of the heaviest buy
ers, locally, both slated that tho mar
ket Is decidedly uncertain. The
price of 20 cents, offered for the
early turkeys. Is the lowest since be
fore the war, and certainly is not
pleanlng to the grower. There Is a '
chance, however, that the market
will go still lower for Christmas, and
there Is a great oversupply reported
in many of the large centers.
Overproduction In many slates Is
the cause for the great slump, as the
surplus has become such that the
demand is easily filled, and conse
quently the price gnes down. It Is
quite possible that the exceedingly
low price will cause the consump
tion to be increased, which will liriiu?
about a better price, but If this oc
curs It will be too late to help the -grower,
and the retailer will be the .
only ono who will materially bene
fit. Some growers will probably hold
off a portion of their birds until
February. There is often a largo
demand early In the year, and the
price might be better, but this Is a
ramble which many growers cannot
afford to take, so that altogether
a rather difficult situation is pre
