THE HOOD RIVER NEWS,' WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 1913 After the Doctor-- THU DRUGGIST The doctor's work is only half what has to be done for the pa tient. And if the druptfist be lacking1 in ability and tare the prescription might as well have never been written. But we make a special study of each case and our own medical knowledge is thorough enough to be of great use to us in those sometimes oc curring cases when the doctor, in his haste, makes a slight error. 1 V !

Onthank, who hag made a study of state universities and agri cultural colleges In other states, has found in Iowa a condition parallil to that in Oregon. He Bays: "In solv ing the problems of life, state and na tional as well as personal, it is wise to be guided by the experience of oth ers. we Americans, however, aro prone to go ahead blindly, making mistaken which larger knowledge would enable us to aviod and there by save much waste of time and men ey and possibly in other ways. "Among the problems confronting tig as a state is that pertaining to our higher educational institutions, their character, relations and management The state of Iowa has recently solv- ed problems so nearly like ours that a study of the same is instrcutive to us. That state was supporting a State University, a College of Agri culture and Mechanic Arts and State Teachers College, located in dif ferent! cities of the state and organ Ized as separate and independent in slltutlons. While each institution was doing its work fairly well, the rivalry and competition among them led to waste and needless duplication a condition of affairs far from satis factory to the tax payers of the state, Moreover, repeated contests arose in tne srate assembly over the appro priations called for by the respective Institutions and matters were stead ily growing worse until finally the General Assembly appointed a joint committee t( 'investigate the system of management and affairs of the state's educational Institutions.' This committee made a thorough study of the educational institutions of the various states and Anally re ported unanimously in ravor of a single governing board for their own higher educational institutions. Af ter a very careful consideration of this report, the General Assembly in 1H09 adopted the recommendation of the committee, abolished the sepa rate boards for the state institutions and placed them under the control of the state board of education with large powers to make the necessary changes In their courses and work The new board consists of nine mem bers, who work in conjunction with a finance committee of three mem bers. They first took time to study exhaustively the problems before them with the assistance of the best non-partisan expert advice obtainable After a long and careful considera tion of all the interests involved they decided on certain changes in the work pursued in each institution, the same to be made with as little dis turbance as possible to the institu tions themselves. They first deter mined just what each institution should be and the work it should do. The work In the Teachers' College that belonged to the State university was assigned to the university and the Teachers" College was made a Normal School as it was intended to be. A College of Education was made a part of the State University for the training of teachers for the high schools and colleges. Certain courses in the university were transferred to the College of Agriculture and Me chanic Arts and on the other hand the general science course and work of that character were taken from the latter institution, as they belonged ro the University. This was done, first, to avoid duplications, second, because the work could be better done in this opposition to the changes proposed, opposition to thee hangeg proposed, they are confident that the plan will work to the advantage both of the institutions themselves and the state as a whole. No educational in terest has suffered, and Iowa has a stronger university, a stronger agri cultural college, and better normal schools, all properly correlated and co-operating under one board of con trol.

STATEMENT IS MADE BY DISTRIBUTORS Trustees of the North Pacific Dis tributors, which is now undertaking to secure co-operation In marketing between the fruit districts of the Northwest, have issued a statement to growers in which they explain the general purposes of the organization and the manner in which it proposes to operate. A few pertinent extracts from the statement are reprinted herewith for the sake of the informa tion contained therein. They follow: Experience and observation con vince all intelligent persons that un der the present conditions no great business or industry can succeed and prosper without organization, as will result in the largest volume of busi ness attainable at a minimum of ex pense. As soon as the growing of decid uous fruits In the Pacific Nortttwest began to assume large proportions, it became apparent to thoughtful per sons interested In that industry that if it is to grow and become the great factor of our agricultural and com mercial world that was anticipated, some means must be devised to bring the growers together into an organi zation for their mutual protection and to provide a method whereby the product can be standardized and so sold as to e'iminate, so far as pos sible, the element of waste and un necessary profit in selling and distri bution. From time to time, at different places where the fruit growers con gregated, discussions have been had and feeble attempts made to bring about the above result, but nothing tangible was accomplished until at the Growers' Congress held from Nov ember 11 to 17, 1912, at Spokane, Washington, in connection with the Fifth National Apple Show, in a meet ing at which there were present 115 of the best known growers and heads of growers' unions, bankers, transpor tation men and others, it was decided to call a convention of delegates of the growers from the four Northwest ern states to meet at Spokane Decem ber 16, 1912. On December 16, 1912, delegates to the number of over 400, representing all the fruit growing and producing districts in the Northwestern states, met and decided to undertake the or ganization of a central and distributr ing agency, and a committee of nine was appointed to outline a plan. The plan of organization is model ed after our system of- government The foundation is the grower and the local organization in the several dis tricts. These come together in the formation of what is known as the sub-central; which sub-central elects a representative and this representa tive, together with a representative in like manner elected from each of the other eight districts into which the Northwestern states have been di vided, constitute the membership of the corporation and select its trus tees and officers. In addition to these men. as a further safeeuard. there are elected in like manner two representatives from each district to act in an advisory capacity and to be known as a "Council of Represent atives," to which council may be re ferred matters of vital Importance to the success of the corporation and of the industry. Thus it will be seen tht at all times the organization emanates from, and is controlled abso- utely by the growers in several dis tricts. The men w ho have been selected to start the machinery have done their part. They have perfected the organ- zation and are ready to do business. It is now up to tho growers and local organizations to determine whether he business will be given them to do. The extent of the success of the move ment depends solely upon the amount of tonnage which the trnwera will contract to market through It, As is well known, the cost of marketing decreases and the efficiency of the organization increases proportionally with every additional car of fruit which it has to handle. Success in the marketing of our Northwestern fruits lies in tho cen- ra selling and distributing agency. f advantage is not taken of what has been done in perfecting the present organization, it wii'. retard the move ment for co-operative selling many years.

WOULD KEEP TRACK OF STORAGE APPLES In an effort to obtain the quantity of apples kept In cold storage on the first day of November, December.Jan uary, February, March and April of each year, Representative Flood of Virginia has introduced a bill at the extra session of Congress pro viding for the Director of Census to obtain such figures.
