STAPLES ONTARIO, OIIEQON ly marketing program, by means of co-operative endeavor on the part of the growers. Advocates of co-operative market ing havo gained powerful allies In enlistment of the Portland business men and tho Portland papers, not ably tho Orogonlan which In a re cent issuo in an editorial under the caption, "A Guide to State Develop ment" had tho following to say: "In planning for the development of Oregon, a consummation de voutly to bo desired, those who as sumo charge of the project may wel cast about for examples of suc cess. Experiment Is to be shunned when oxperlenco Is ready to teach. We have, for example, the conspic uous attainments of tho co-oper-atlvo marketing plan In California. It Is both Idlo and narrow to at tribute tho growth of tho southern slstor to tourist trado alone. Im portant as that factor has heon In Its upbuilding, important as it is and will ho In tho making of Oregon, there Is a basis of fundamental pros perity that rests on solid Industrial enterprise. In California, beyond all question, such a basis has been afforded by scientific marketing of tho products of tho soil. "Co-operatlvo marketing In Cali fornia represents, it Is estimated, fully 50 por cent of tho output of agricultural and horticultural In dustry, and an annual export of $250,000,000 to $300,000,000. In tho light of these figures It is clearly seen that tho tourist, with his va catlonal expenditures, Is not neces sarily the source of tho state's pros perity. And an Infallible guide to tho futuro of Oregon may bo found In the contrast of theso truly mag nificent figures with tho co-operatlvo roturns of our own state, which aro said to total hut $7,000, 000. Plainly horo Is a field, than which thoro Is none more fertile, for tho lasting dovelpmont of tho state In tho program of tho now project It should havo prominence. "Co-oporatlvo marketing, as prac ticed In California, not only dis covers markets and stabilizes prices, preventing trickery and loss, but It dovolops markets and finds now outlots. Whllo Insuring that tho present season's crop will reach tho consumer, and at a profit, it provldos for futuro expansion by creating now outlots through an awakened popular demand. Tho producor Is no longer In tho posi tion of a suppliant, asking rather humbly for tho attontlon of buyers, but Is Instead tho dictator of his own wolfaro, earning a proper per centage upon his Industry. So Is prosperity spoiled. It Is not only concolvnblo, hut demonstrable, that In any agricul tural stato thoro Is a vast deal of wastago caused by Inadequate knowl edgo of tho world's markets or through lact of facilities enabling tho producor to avail himself of op portunity. Disorganized and Indi vidual, tho producers trust blindly to luck, to tho luck of tho seasons, tho luck of commerce Tho soasons aro varlablo, but without malice. Commorco Is keen and quick to seize an udvantago. Co-operatlvo mar keting, on tho other hand, does not In tho least dopend upon clmnco. It Is scientifically assured of Itself. If properly projoctod and fostored It will do more than any othor dovlco to further tho dovolopmont of tho stato. Tho ora of free land has passed with tho homestead. Settlors aro attracted nowadays by evidential proof that they can better them selves in tho stato of their choice. They must know, generally speaking, that prosperity awaits theni before they withdraw an Investment else whore to re-Invest here. In order tho soil and tho seasons, tho abun dance of irrigable lands, are suffi ciently attractive to Increase Im measurably tho agricultural pop ulation of tho state once It 13 shown that marketing dbes not de pond upon tho mere whim of self- interested middlemen." COMMANDER OWSLEY GLEMENGEAU GREETED WITH HIGH HONORS New York. Georges Clemenccau, war-time premier of France, came to America Saturday on a mission of peace. Tho fiery old tiger earnestly voiced the purpose of his tour In a brief re sponse at city hall to an address of welcome by Acting Mayor Hulbert. "In tho world at this time," ho de clared, "is a crisis which hasn't been settled. How It will end, nobody knows.

He explained that he preferred not to go to Lausanne as ho was con vinced that tho first meeting should bo held at a place not Influenced by the conference atmosphere. Government Control of All Resources In Event of Conflict Contemplated. New York. National defense plans of the war department contemplate governmental control of the entire re sources of the country under "an ef ficiency council, or board of control," General Pershing announced here at Madison Square Garden before the Merchants' association of New York. "According to these plans," General Pershing said, "the Industrial and manufacturing Institutions, agricul ture and transportation would be un der government control, while per sonnel pertaining to all of them would be mustered into the service, as are those that are called to the colors. An efficiency council, or board of control, conforming to our experience In the war, would then be placed In charge of all resources with authority to make such disposition of them as would best promote the success of the nation In war."
