A. G. GLEE GLUB HERE NEXT FRIDAY The Orvcon Agricultural Collt'ire (Sleeaml Mandolin Clul will jjlve ft concert here on Feh. 1, in the Opera House. The club ha made grent preparation for thin Hppearauce aud a program of unuMiiul interewt liau lieen prepareil. This In the fi rut year that the organization from the O. A. C. ban taken a state-wide tour, an prevloUHlj- there have been faculty restrictions which have prevented the club from leaving the lnxtl' utlon for a trip. However, In renponwe to the great demand from the friend of the college, who circulated a iet1tion mjueotiiig that the glee and mando lin club tie allowed to appear In dlf ferent cities of the state, the college council granted the club two weeks' leave of absence. The glee club has been enlarged from an organization of sixteen voices to one of twenty-four. A mimlter of freshmen appeared this year with voices of a ijimlity never to 1m? had at ). A ('. !efore. So the club lsibleto undertake pieces which hitherto had been out of the Uest!oli from lack of volume. Conscientious work on the part of the men has brought up the standard of the club to a high state cf efficiency. The mandolin club, under the lead ership of Chas.JBrewster, has worked up an Interesting program of a char acter that pleases the most critical aud always draws heavy encores upon each appearance. They will undoubtedly prove one of the most Interesting attractions scheduled In this city. The program which has been pre pared for the audience Is one which will prove of great Interest to all patrons. The repertoire Includes the lutest pieces of both classical and popular nature. Among the former are such compositions as "The Ulue IuiiuIm Waltz." by Strauss; "Coin rades In Arms," by Adams; "Lovely Night" from "Love Tales of Hof man," by Offenbach; "On the Sea," by Buck, and "(irlblrlbln," by I Vs. tuloizl. IVsliles these a large num ber of humorous pieces hav e been mastered and will be used largely for encore work. The entertainment ends with the "Collegians." Undoubtedly one of the most pleas ing features of the program will be the Scotch monologues, which will be given by Henry Kussel, "The Harry Lauder of the West." The accompanist of the club, Uny moml Coursen, a son of one i.ftlu leading musicians of I'ortlaud, will play a piano solo. An expert trombone soloist Is with the club this year. He Is I-Mwin Woodcock, who has been with the O. A. C. Cadet Baud for three years. The O. A. C. octette will reuder a bumber. The octette Is made up of the best voices of the club aud their work Is of an unusually high char-acter. A SACKFUL OF SATISFACTION can be had at our establish ment for a little outlay for cash.

SAYS NEED OF IMMEDIATE CO-OPERATION IS URGENT (Continued from Tam 1) posed to the li;ht of day, fad away Into oblivion. On the other hand we liiul that by co-operating with other sections there are distinct advantages to be had. the minimiz ing of expense for Instance Much of the work of distributing entails ex lenses t hat, falling on any one sec Hon, are almost prohibitive, but If divided equally amongst two or three sections become but a trltllnu charge. To establish proper faclll ties for each section the apple grow ers of the Northwest would necessa rlly have to duplicate and triplicate machinery that would necessitate unnecessary expenditure of large sums of money. In most instances the establishing of rival agencies would. In addition to Inert ased cost, lead ton cutting of priies and a war amongst our selves, the cost and loss of which would be borne by the grower and the benefits of which would be reaped by the middlemen. This Is notour object. It lias been argued that the time is not ripe. There Is no lime like the present. This mat ter cannot lie settled In any hurry, but to settle It as soon ns possible means that we must get to It at once. This year's crop alone bids fair to tax our lest efforts. I.et us get all the Information we can on this very vital subject. It Is argued that until we get our fruit assembled there Is no need for a method of selling It. This argument Is dangerous. Better the machine waiting for the fruit than t he fruit waiting for the ma chine. The machine won't rust, but the fruit will spoil. Why not bend our energies to doing both? Why not prepare the machine and assem ble the fruit at the same time? We need both ends of this business taken care of. There should be no conflict between the alders of either branch of the Industry. Nobody realizes the necessltj- of preparing the fruit for market through the aid of the local association and uulons more than I do. I've done a little work towards that end mysvlf. It speaks for Itself and can stand on Its own bottom We must remember, and I am no referring to the growers of the We natchee Valley, that whether we like It or not, the fruit from the other sections is going to be raised and to be placed on the markets of the world; that we have to come Into competition with them In any event; that our judgment of their excellence Is not final; that the consuming pub lic are the final arbiters; that public opinion aud the public taste are equally fickle; that some people are even color blind, and that our apple, red as It Is, may not appear so red to those not engaged In raising It; that In some markets, even, the color Is not the only asset, considered; that despite all statements to the contra ry some of the leading markets of the world are dominated by apples not from our section. In other words, that while I firmly believe that our section Is the best section on earth. It Is not the only one. "I'rlde goes before a fall." We are not here to consider prima rily the wants of the man with land and water to sell. We must first consider ourselves. We ire not en gaged In tills struggle for light to enable anyone to hold up the price of land. That will rise or fall automat ically as our product sells well or 111. Our primary need Is that the man actually engaged It) raising fruit gets the best returns possible, and that In my opinion can best and easiest be done by a policy of co-operation and conciliation as opposed to one of competition and recrimination. Therefore, I say, let us continue the policy of Investigation. I-t us meet and confer with our neighbors from the adjoining sections. If we conclude that by co-operating with them we will be the gainers, the only sensible thing to do Is to co-operate. If, on the other hand, we cannot see whereby we are to gain, we are still free agents. There Is much to be done and not over much time to do It In. Iet us work harmonlotisly and not with bitterness. We are all vitally Interested In the Issues before us, ami any measure which might give us relief should be given consid eration. The grower must support his assts'latlon or union, but must le Induced to do so, and not forced. Money Is a gredt assistance In solv ing these troubles, but even money can be too dearly bought. Money can Is? secured at a moderate cost provided those In whose hands It now Is are assured that the fruit will Is' taken care of after It Is assembled. The fruit must Iw sold In an orderly manner and a machine for t hat pur pose must be cither taken over or worked out by ourselves. In either case It will be ours. In short, n central selling machine Is but the logical outcome of district associations. It Is but carrying out to a roncliisl in the work of co-operation. No one w ho believes In associ ations of any kind can ngree to the contrary without stultifying himself. Iets get together. MARRIED MIKI.I.KY HI kKI.KY J. M.

Plath, Druggist THE FEDERAL THE economy, efficiency and durability of motor trucks as made today cannot be questioned. This has been proved by up-to-date merchant and manufacturer who has installed motor trucks for use in hauling his in-coming and out-going product. The motor truck has come to stay. It is an industrial evolution to do that part of the world's work now being done by slow moving beasts of burden. Speed and economy in distribution are as important as speed and economy in production, and, as auto matic machinery, in all fields of industrial endeavor has been proven to be more economical than hand labor, so the motor truck has proven its efficiency over horse-drawn vehicles. This is an age of specializing. The Federal Motor Truck Company are building but one model and are concentrating their entire energies on one-ton trucks. It is a well-known fact that a plant devoted to manu facturing a single product can make a better article at a lower cost than a factory that makes a number of things. This policy makes it possible for the Federal Motor Truck Company to build at a very low price a one Ton Truck guaranteed for one year. c0KPA!:Y i3rri& r wxcg?
