G. club held their annual picnic Tuesday at the H. W. Titus home.

The deer hunters of Lane county who started out on the opening day of the season started with a poor day, according to E. 8. Hawker, deputy state game warden, who made a trip Monday through the tracts where hunters are wont to gather each year. The game war den placed the blame for the poor luck upon the extreme dryness of the timber. The rains since have ehanged that condition. MAGNUS MAGNIFIES product. Under such a system much produce must rot when* grown be muse the retail price is beyond the common reach of families. But if this middle expense could be divid ed to a large extent between the producing and consuming classes there would be no cause to curtail production, as consumption would increase enormously. I Editorial note.—The market mas ter seems to have erred in figuring his percentages. If his fgiures are correct, 200 per cent (not 66 per cent) was added to the producers’ price. The amount added is 66 per cent of the price paid by the con sumer, not of that received by the producer.] The cooperative movement appears to be the present remedy for this condition. Strongly organized, ho that a majority of the product can be controlled and sold from a cen tral agency, middle expenses and profits could be cut and the growers given their just part of the retail price. Oregon has all that it could dream of in abundant crops, yet the market situation looks very dark for the reason that others than the growers manipulate the markets and control the profits. A record production sold at less than production cost is not prosperity. SID WILLIAMS UP AGAIN ON MOONSHINING CHARGE Sid Williams was apprehended Wednesday by Deputy Sheriff Pitcher on a charge of moonshining. He was given a preliminary hear ing in Justice of Peace Young’s court and was bound over to the district court. This is the third time he has gotten into the toils of the law on the same charge. Pitcher had suspected for some time that Williams was again mak ing the illicit liquor and on Wed nesday searched Mr. Williams’ place on Row irver. He found a complete outfit and 20 gallons of mash busily at work in the upper story of the house. None of the finished product was found. It was thought that this had been hidden.
