We ought to have the Wil lamette valley well organized within a year. A good plan for our directors is what we want. Don't tell me farmers won't stick. They have stuck to the most expens ive marketing system ever devised by an organized gang of profit takers lor a score of years. They have stuck to a system of dis tnbuting farm products and credits until the system has decayed.

In each local we find such men and we look forward to the day when they will be rewarded by seeing the Equity on a successful footing. The Committees representing Map le Lane and Mt.

Pleasant and Maple Lane Friday ev- ening, Mr. Schuebel states that he is ar ranging for the sale of the strawber ry crop and asks the growers to com- municate with him or call upon him at the Courier office. A permanent place of business will soon be estab lished where the agent may be found at any time. The committee, which is composed of P. W. Meredith, F. G. Buchanon, A H. Harvey V, E. Parker, W. N. Har ton and H. Robinson are well pleas. ed with the prospect for busniess and state that the proposition is assured of success. EQUITY FOURTH xsew xorK has a law a new one which empowers the commissioner of griculture to appoint an assistant commissioner whose duty it is to en courage co-operation and to help or ganize cooperative enterprises. Here is a great big opportunity for some man who will put enthusiasm and good sense ahead of the salary (? 3,000) and sacrifice his personal ambitions for the good of the state, Three thousand dollar men did not build the great corpration of today. The man who will succeed in this, new job must be much more than a $3000 man. The state usually requires ser vices far in excess of the compensat ion. Many patriotic men accept the condition and perform a worthy work, Mere s hoping tnat tne new man in this important job will be of that class. It has been the habit in some sec tions for the bankers and business men in the towns to make a protest because the farmers were buying aut os. All sorts of dire calamities would follow such foolish waste of money. Statistics were compiled which were intended to show how it took the money out of the country. Speculat ions were indulged in which were to show how the farmer would neglect his business by spending his time . joy riding and other suggestions just as foolish. As a matter of fact the auto is an - economic proposition for the farmer. It widens his experience, enlarges his associations and saves him time and horse flesh. If any body on earth is entitled to own an auto it ii the far mer. May the prosperity of the farmers continue until autos are as common as buggies. Growing Society will Have Fine Time at New Era Camp Grounds The plans for the Equity Fourth Picnic is meeting with general ap proved among the member sand it is very probable that the gathering win be quite large. There will not be any dare-devil exhibitions or gambling games to re lieve the farmers of their extra chan ge, but the Equity people simply pro pose to have a good old fashioned pic nic in the grove with a big basket dinner at noon. Of course there will be some foot races and several tug of war contests and even an automob ile race. And those that like to dance will have the very best kind of an op portunity to take part in this pleas ure, either in the afternoon or attend the grand ball in the evening; or both, For the more sober minded who are not interested in contests, a complete program is being arranged for by the committee which will include addres ses upon Equity matters as well as a patriotic address, and also several musical selections will be rendered. The various local presidents will be called upon for short remarks as well as other prominent county mem bers. It will be a great get together meeting and all should plan to attend New Era is the place and the Fourth of July the time. Chicks Make Chickens The proper heating of the brooder is an important item and the heat should come from above. Under the hover, the temperature should be fully 95 to 100 degrees for the first week, 85 to 90 degrees for the sec ond week, and reduce to 70 degrees when the chicks become stronger. The chicks themselves are the best ther mometers. When they cry and huddle together they are too cold, and when they won't go under the hover, and try to get as far from the heat as they can, they are too warm. Farmers, mechanicians, railroaders, laborers, rely on Dr. Thomas' Eclec tic Oil. Fine for cuts, burns, bruises. Should be kept in every home. 25 and 50c. The day is not far off, we hope, when the Equity will be in the big markets of the world both as a sell er and a buyer and not until then will the farmer come in direct con tact with the big questions of inter state trade, tariffs, credits, money, transportation, banking, price-making, pure-food and many others of vi tal interest to all.

We read in our big dailies that the navy bean crop is a failure in Call tornia and if that is true why doesn't the National Agricultural Department or our O. A. C. tell us about it? We could afford to pay them a good commission instead of a strai, ght salary. We don't know about the A thought is a dynamic force and goes where it is sent and always linos a mind to receive it. The whole world is facing a crisis. The great common mass of people in all coun tries are agitating the questions of equity. We are in the beginning of a great commercial change. Farmers are receiving the thought. The railroads want the farmers to organize. Now comes the state of New York and puts an organizer in the field. How about Oregon? When a farmer buys a binder he can get detailed instructions how to put it together. Where can we find the men to go to the other counties of Oregon and give detailed instructions of how to set up an Equity system and get our state machine running? It is up to our directors.

New Laws Here are a trio of little, unnoticed ones that are laws this week: Chapter 186. To prohibit sale or giving away of intoxicating liquor in any railway, interurban or street railway depot or under the same roof within any building physically con nected with such depot and providing penalty. Chapter 26. Requiring local ag ents of railway companies to bulletin promptly the arrival and departure or trains, according to actual infor mation received, and providing a pen alty. Failing to support a wife is now a serious offense in Oregon. Under the new law non-support is made a fel ony and a men who fail to observe their marriage vows in this respect win oe subject to punishment wherev er they go, for they can be extradiat ed from other states. The new law provides that men failing to observe the law shall be taken before the grand jury for indictment and shall be tried before a jury. Under the old law the crime was a misdemeanor and was heard by the county court with out a jury. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.

No Guessing Out a Man There is no accounting for the strange freaks men do and the queer ways they have. Wouldn t there be a voar when they went home to th ur meals if they , had to climb up a high stool in front of a table on which there was no cloth and eat their meals in that fashion. Yet the majority of men, wnen they go to a restaurant, will pick out the high stool and feid board with no cloth on it in prefer ence to a comfortable chair with cloth-covered table. A man will bor row a chew of tobacco, and most of them will set their teeth into the plug where some other man has gnawed off a chew. Offer him a piece of pie at home which his own wife or one of the children had taken a bite and he would holler his head off, At home ne will not drink out oi a glass cup from which one of the family have been drinking from. Call him into stall of a livery barn, pull out a bottle and he will stick it half way down his throat in order to get swig, after half a dozen fellows have had the- neck of the bottle in their mouths.

Your confidence is what Studebaker seeks to keep Possessing this confidence, we have never tried to produce a cheap wagon. We could, but we don't dare try the experiment. Our constant aim has been to produce the bat wagon. And in living up to this highest standard, we have won and hold the confidence and good-will of hundreds of thousands of farmers all over the world. Studebaker wagons are built to last, to do a day'a work every day, to stand up under stress and strain and to make the name Studebaker stand for all that is best in vehicles. Don't accept any other wagon represented to be just as good as & Sludebak.tr. The substitute may be cheaper, but it isn't up to Studebaker standards, and you can't afford to buy it.
