COOPERATION IS ORGEO
AT FARMERS’ONION I
Their Interest* Were Greatly
Advanced in the Opinion
of Delegates Attending
Front Here.
GOVERNOR PIERCE IS HEADLINER
Tells Egg Producers They Must Get
Together or Their Business
Will Be Hard Hit.
The interests of th«» farmer were
grimily advanced, especially along
the line of cooperation, at the re-
eent state convention of the farm
ers’ union, in the opinion of the
large number of delegates who at
tended from here. Action was taken
leading to further action to bring
about bettor agricultural conditions.
A number of splendid instructive
and inspiring addresses were given
and the delegates were royally en
tertained.
C. D. Rorer, president of the Bank
of Commerce, Eugene, outlined an
agricultural program. He said that
Oregon is importing pork and that
we raise only one-third of the wool
we use.
M. M. Bonoy, manager of the
farmers’ creamery at Eugene, said
that 10 years ago Oregon was im
porting butterfat while today it is
exporting 225,000,000 pounds of
dairy products. He said that the
yield of the average dairy cow of
Oregon is but 160 pounds, while it
should be 240 pounds to provide a
dividend. He urged larger herds,
explaining that in herds of less
than 8 the average cost is $105;
that in herds of 8 to 12 the average
cost is reduced to $90 and that in
herds of more than 12 it is further
reduced to $71.
Tho union went on record as fa
voring a national cooperative mar
keting act by congress, to create
crop pools and make warehouse re
ceipts legal tender.
A resolution was adopted favoring
a high tariff on farm products.
A tax on exported wheat, as out
lined by the wheat growers' associa
tions and supported by various other
organizations, was heartily en
dorsed in a resolution introduced
by the committoe on marketing.
This plan, as explained to the mem
bers, provides for n tax on wheat
exported, which is^said to constitute
one-fourth of the crop of the United
States. This plan, the authors of
the resolution explained, would sta
bilize the price of wheat so that
it can be grown at a profit.
A severance tax that would in
clude taxes not only on timber but
on other natural resources was pro
posed. A committee is to be ap
pointed to draft a measure to be
submitted to the people of the state.
Governor Fierce, in his address,
deelured that a better channel for
marketing must be found and that
the farmer must take to diversified
and intensified farming. Coopera
tion was stressed by both Mr.
Pierce and Paul V. Maris, director
of the O. A. C. extension service, as
a fundamental of the program. The
governor declared that freight rates
had jumped on farm products about
50 per cent in comparison with the
value of the produce and that in
1919 1000 bushels of wheat would
pay the taxes on his farm, while
now it took 7000. This condition
was general, he said, and relief for
it must be found. Unless relief
comes, both he and Mr. Maris pre
dicted that American farms would
be taken over by a peasant elass of
people of low standards of living.
In his message, Charles 8. Bar
rett, national president, enlarged
upon the benefits of cooperation
and in a masterly way put the issue
of remedying the conditions on the
farms strictly up to the farmers
themselves.
Herbert Egbert, of The Dalles,
and Mrs. B. G. Jones, of Monmouth,
were reelected president and sec
retary treasurer. R. P. Laird, of
Creswell, was chosen vice president.
Wasco won the next annual con
vention and it is probable that the
meeting will be held at The Dalles.
The report of R. P. Laird, of
Creswell, president of the Jaino
county union, showed that 24 locals
were now firmly established with a
combined membership of 1428 active
workers.
Several Cottage Grove delegates
served on committees. Otto Dobber-
stein was on the committee on odu
cation, George Kebelbeck on the
committee on publicity and M. A.
Horn on the committee on organ

BOYS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR
NUMEROUS ROBBERIES
Sheriff's Office Breaks Up Gang
That Has Been Operating
More Than Year.
Five boys, all residents of Spring
field and vicinity, are in the county
jail on robbery charges, including
the robbery of the postoffiee at
Goshen and several robberies in and
around Springfield during the past
year and a half. Their ages range
from 15 to 19 years. Every burglary
except one that has been committed
iu Springfield and environs during
that time was confessed to by these
boys, according to Van Svarverud,
deputy sheriff, who was detailed on
the Goshen and Springfield robbery
cases of last week ami who has ef
fectually broken up a gaug of young
thieves that was known to have
been operating for a long time.
The boys in jail are: Steve H. Ed
wards, 18; Ray Bryan, 17; Hazilette
McKelvey, 15; Harold McPherson,
18, aud Earl Calkins, 19. Leo Bow
man, 18, is also in custody oil a
charge of receiving stolen goods.
Most of the loot secured by the
gang has been located and much of
it can be returned to the owners. A
considerable portion of it was lo
cated at young McKelvey’s homo
near Springfield Junction station.
Sheriff Btickels has characterized
the efforts of Deputy Svarvarud in
this case as being one of the best
pieces of criminal detective work
ever performed in Lane county.
Boy Tourists Steal Gasoline.
Three lads from Washington driv
ing u much-used ear were appro
hended here Saturday night upon a
charge of stealing gasoline from a
ear in Creswell. The man from
whom the gasoline had been stolen,
probably because of the Christmas
season, refused to pruseeute when
the boys made restitution for the
stolen gasoline and paid th«» ex
pense of apprehending them.
COOPERATION OF HEN OWNERS
IS BEING ASKED
Poultrymen's Association of Oregon
Will Hold Big Meeting
Here Tonight.
Poultrymen of this section have
been requested to attend u mooting
to bo held tonight in Phillips hall
for the purposo of getting them to
sign up with the Poultrymen's As
sociation of Oregou. E. J. Dixon,
manager of tho association, will be
tho principal speaker. C. J. Hurd,
of O. A. C., will also made an ad
dress.
An intensive drive for members
of tho Poultrymen’s Association of
Oregon has been inaugurated in
lane county. A goal of 250,000
hens in the state 1ms boon set and
a large number of these uro expect
ed to be signed up in this county.
If 40,000 uro signed, a receiving
station will be established in Eu
gene. It is said that this would save
poultry men 50 cents n case on
shipping. It would bo easily possi
ble for Cottage Grove to sigil up
sufficient hen» to get a receiving
station here.
A series of meetings wore held
yesterday in Junction City. A meet
ing will be held in Eugene today
noon. A meeting will be held in
Croswell this afternoon and the
speakers will come on here for an
evening meeting.
The poultry association has been
very successful during the past
year, according to E. J. Dixon, state
manager. Eggs are marketed in Ore
gon and in the oast and at present
there is a strong demand for pullet
eggs in the eastern states.
Members of tho association agree
to market all the eggs they produce
through the association, with the
exception of those used for hatch
ing or used on the farm. Tho move
ment is strongly supported by Gov
ernor Pierce, the extension division
of tho Oregon Agricultural college
and the farmers' union.
Governor Pierce, in his address
before the recent state convention
of the farmers' union, said: “There
is a striking case now in Oregon
demanding attention, tho coopera
tive egg-selling agency. Thia co
operative agency has been in exist
ence under the present contract for
three years. It has handled only
one-fifth of the eggs produced in
Oregon but, according to those who
know, tho existence of this organ
ization has yielded a net gain of at
least five cents a dozen on every
produced in Oregon during that
time, a clear gain of half a million
dollars annually to the egg produ
cers of this state. This cooperative
association has given to the egg pro
ducers of Oregon from 5 to 20 cents
a dozen more than the producers of
the Mississippi valley havo received.
The difference is due to the fact
that Oregon eggs were under the
influence of the cooperative market
ing system while the middle west
is not organized at all. The con
tracts of this Hssoi'iation expire
January 1, 1924. New contracts are
now being written. Unless the own
ers of 250,000 hens arc signed by
the first of January, tho coopera
tive egg selling agency will cense
to exist.”

NUMBER 16
HEARING ON SAGINAW CROSSING
BEIL IS HELD HERE
Assistant Engineer Admits Danger
Is Sufficient for Serious
Consideration.
The public service commission
held a hearing here on Thursday
last upon th«i petition for a crossing
bell at the Saginaw crossing into
Delight Valley. J. A. Joll, who re
cently narrowly escaped death in an
accident at the crossing, C. H.
Haight, A. W, Cornutt and other
residents of the valley testified to
the danger of the crossing. A. W.
Kime, C. E. Frost, N. J. Nelson Jr.
and Elbert Bede, residents of tho
city, were also called as witnesses.
The testimony was to the effect
that a view of tho track to the
south on the east side of tho truck
is obscured by a growth of willows
extending to Saginaw station aud
that the road from the east ap
proaches the track upon a rather
stiff grade. The testimony showed
that from the west tho greatest
danger is because of the curve
around the hill to the north.
Tim representatives of the South
ern Pacific endoavored to show that
wore tho road widened aud a level
grade given from the covered bridge
to the railroad crossing the danger
would be practically eliminated.
Those who use the crossing admit
ted that this would remove a large
part of the danger of the oast ap
proach.
Mr. Otlius, witness for tho South
ern Pacific and one of its assistant
engineers, admitted that wore he
placing 20 additional crossing bells
lie would give this crossing serious
consideration.
Tho commissiou's decision may
not be made for some timo.
T. K. Campbell, former resident,
was tho only commissioner present.

JOHN NOKES WOULD SWAP
FALSE TEETH FOR WIG OF
ANY BRIGHT RED COLCR
.
.«.
Set of false teeth to trade for wig.
The above is copy for a wantad
which John Nokes has asked to
have inserted. Tho teeth are in good
condition and have never failed
once in 50 years to perform their
duty when called upon. They are
No. 6% on an EE last. Mr. Nokcs
will have them fixed to fit the
mouth of tho person taking them,
provided that the person trading
the wig does tho same with the
wig—rather, has the wig fixed to
fit Mr, Nokes’ burnished dome.
Mr. Nokes gives no reason for
wishing to dispose of the teeth, but
it is thought that tho food which
Mrs. Nokes cooks melts in the
mouth and Mr. Nokes has used tho
teeth for years fur ornamental pur
poses only. His friends say that if
ho uses the tooth for that purpose
only, he should supply himself with
several extra sots, instead of dis
posing of the one set which lie has.
Mr. Nokes stated that the wig
may be of any color just so it is
bright rod. He wishes to havo it
harmonize with what his wife is
likely to say to him when she learns
what he is about to do.

ments.
—advertisements tell what is
new on the market, what is
the commercial price to pay.
