Scott, general passenger agent of the Southern Pacific and one of the best friends Ashland has.

"The conclusion seems warranted," says the report, "that In communities where cc oeratlon is practically applied to the fanner's business the results obtained are far more satisfactory than those secured by individual methods." It is estimated that fanners' co-oiierative marketing and purchasing organiza tions will transact this year a total business amounting to more than $1, HJO.OW.OUO. Agricultural co-operation in the United States is therefore far more prevalent than Is generally be lieved, but it Is not yet upon a suffi ciently strong business basis. For this reason the office of markets has studied the various methods employed by these associations and bus worked to devise menus by which these methods can be perfected. The studies also have In cluded the prevailing methods of mar keting perishable products grain, cot ton, cotton seed, live stock and animal products. Studies have also been made of city markets in order to secure in this way information which may open up out lets for furm products. In this connec tion the report culls attention to the experimental work In distributing time ly market information concerning per ishable products. 'An effort has been made to keep producers informed of arrivals and conditions In the large markets and, on the other hand, to keep dealers Informed of shipments from the Important producing sections. Strawberries, peaches, tomatoes and cantaloupes were the crops covered In this way during the past season. There is evidence, snys the report, that as a result of this service distribution has been improved, glutted markets have been prevented to some extent, total shipments from several districts have been greater than they would have been otherwise, and large bodies of growers have received accurate and disinterested information concerning prevailing conditions in competing pro ducing areas and in distant mitrkPts. Several Important newspapers have co oiK'nited in this work by publishing these reports. The work of encouraging the proper preparation of products for market bus been continue;!. The ultimate aim of this campaign of education is the nn tioiinl standardization of market grades and also packages or containers. Investigation Into the problems o: transportation aud storage has been continued with u view to determining the causes of the great loss of food stuffs between the producer and the consumer. Experimental shipments by parcel post and express ivere made during the year with many kinds pi fruits and berries, lettuce, milk, butter, eigs, sirup and vegetables. In near! 3 very case it was found that the sue .ess of the shipment depended upon the Jiiocient used In selecting the ipiality of the product and the type ot container. Another important division of the work of the clli'-e for the past year is its rural organization investigations mid In particular Its study of the prob I 'ms of niral credit and Insurance. Young Men For Civis Work. For the purpose of utilizing the en ergy and enthusiasm of the young rnen of New Orleans, La., in behalf of the development of the conimuri ity a young men's branch of the New Orleans Association of Commerce har been organized. The efforts of thb branch of the association will be di rected to the training of men at an earlier period than has formerly been tha practice In the work of co-operating for the civic and commercial advancement of the community. Op erating under a plan which has been worked out with great care, it Is an ticipated that by thin means many trained leaders and workers will be produced wlth'n thp association. ey sang a very appropriate song.

Little Lass Writes The Cowboy Yell Little Zelda Mulkey, a twelve year old Rogue River valley lassie of Cen tral Point, was one of the celebration visitors. Little Zelda caught the cel ebration spirit, as Is evidenced by the following poem which she composed. In view of the little girl's age, the poem is remarkable: The Cowboy Veil. Oh, you round-up! Oh, you kids! Oh, you men with the funny lids! Cowboys galloping here and there, Smiling at the ladies fair. Bucking bronchos they will ride, Watch them sway from side to side. And many a man will have his fall, But hurrah for the cowboys, we like 'em all. Zelda M. Mulkey. if " j W -' JUDGE It. M.

The most enjoyable musical fea ture of the celebration, and the cele bration was full of music of the high est class, was the concert given by the massed bands of the valley iu Ltthia Park Wednesday evening un der the direction of Professor Row land, leader of the Medford band. Several selections were played and the crowd lingered long after the last inspiring strains of "The Star Span- j Kled Banner" had died away in hopes that the three bands might play more t toeether. The Medford, Central Point and Ashland bands were includ- j ed. It is to be hoped that massea , hand concerts by the bands of the! valley may become frequent occur-1 rences. The concert here was the I first ever held in this vicinity. Xo. 07. REPORT OF THE COXDITION OF The Citizens Bank ot Ashland AT ASHLAND, OH EGO X, at the ( lose ot Business June :), 101(1. . $2 1(5.
