DISPLAYING THE BIF0RD FILMS.
There is room for difference of opin
ion with the commissioner of licenses
of Ntw York who positively forbids
the showing of the Beulah BInforJ
Alms lu moving plctur-3 theatres. Ad
mitting that the' story is one depict
ing falllng by the wayside and going
beyond recall," admitting that the Bin
for girl Is permitting the picture?
fir the sake of remuneration, and ad
mitting that tber3 is a possibility of
barm .in such a film, but still Is there
not also a possibility of a great deal
of good.
The picture theatre has grown to
bo a teacher In the land. Sometimes
the l;nson may miscarry but as a,
rui the intent of the moving picture
Is for good. Men who are behind such
a mammoth enterprise could not af
ro' to stand for only the bstter things
in life and looking at It from a selfish
lend It Is but jnatural for them to
citer to the majority of the people,
-v ich majority is always for the bet
ter things. ; ' 'f .
I? the Beulah BInford films have
r.en taken with due care and do not
lead too strong to the. vulgar but on
the other hand picture the slippery
pathway as It really la then it is prob
able . that .the', l?!in would do- more

The fair association experienced h
short piece of rough track in getting
things started for the. annual exposi
tion which begins in La Grande on
fr-ptember 27th, but now everything
is running smoothly and there Is ev
ery reason to believe this year's fail1
will be larger and better ' than any
former effort. -
A committer has Just canVflBsed the
valley for live stock and each member
t delighted with the success made. It
la - found tnat Grande Ronde Valley
lh!s year has better stock than ever,
i r ! more of It? that all live stock is
km excellent condition and reany to
enter the prlzewinnlng contest. This
if a good condition of affars and re
fects the prosperity of the valley.

northwest for many years. j' Tes'rday,
In accordance with the requirements
of the exchange contracts, estimates
of all varieties of apples In this fall's
nop, with th.3 number of saleable ap
ples In each variety, were ordered
made at once.-'As soon as the 1911
crop estimate for this valley has been
prepared, it wlH be eentto the ex
change and the exchange In turn will
notify all Its traveling salesmen
throughout the .United States and
Canada that there are so many car
loads In Graade Rontte valley and as
these selling representatives dispose
of a carload or a hundred carloads,
the local association is notified and
through Its manager here, who Is C.
0. Ramsey, will fifl the required cars
with the required varieties and ship
to the known destination where cash
will be paid on arrival of the ship
ment at a price agreed upon before
the car ever leaves La Grande.. ;Tn
this way the grower knows what his
car will bring when delivered, in
stead of having to depend on market
conditions in the east, that might go
to pieces while a car was rolling. The
grower sells to the buyer direct.
Local InstKH-tJon Close. '
The grower is required to assort and
box his apples and haul them to asso
ciation headquarters. There the pack
ing Is tfon under. th, super vialpnf of
Manager Ramsey whois the last man
to pass Inspection on the shipment,
passing on its ralatlon to specifications
required. Of late the growers have
been given a Storage in transit rate
which makes It possible at a very nom
inal fee to have the carstdet racked at
eastern terminals and the fruit stored
for a time and hauled onward later. '
The plan is based on a complex and
Intricate system which keeps grower
and buyer all over the United States
linked tagether in such a way that in
few hours after delivery of a car
load of fruit in the -east, the cash is
paid for it and telegraphed back and
at a price only 10 cents less than the
eastern buyer actually pays per box.
Previously the local grower paid heav
ily for packing and was at the mercy
of the shipper In the matter of second
grade stuff In that the buyer picked the
cholos fruit and threw the rest back
on the growers' hands, and then paid
a price which , would net. the buyer a
profit after he had shipped east and
stood the losses and uncertainties of
a fluctuating market. These iinror.
taintles have been overcome, the mld-
dleman'a profits disappear and Mr
Grower In the Grande Roude valley
now receive tor his ttruit less - 10
per cent commission to the exchange
every cent that the eastern buyer
pays, for all shipments are made f.o.b.
cars shipping point.
