FOR HARVESTERS
Fifty , Loganberry Pickers
Sent Out Thursday! Most
Coming From Cities ?-3
Manager Kells of the federal la
bor bureau of Salem reports a de
mand for loganberry pickers that
Secretary Phillips hasn't been
able to supply.' Thursday they
sent out 50 pickers, most of whom
came to Safem through the bu
reau's advertising In Seattle SpcN
kane and ' Portland, j Despite the
unpromising condition ot the mar
ket at the present time, most of
the growers are preparing to han
dle their crops in some way and
so there will be picking jobs for
hundreds of people whom a com
plete breakdown of the logan mar
ket would have left stranded high
and dry. V ;
No line can be had on the total
acreage of logans that will not be
picked - thia , year. While : several
declarations, hare-: been- made by
owners that they, would not pick
at all, very few vines have as yet
actually been destroyed; they
might be picked after all, under
some conditions, and: in that case
the picking loss would be very
small. It is doubtful whether
more than 10 per cent, and per'
haps not 5 per cent, of the total
loganberry crop of Oregon will be
abandoned. A S per cent loss on
an estimated yield of 10,0.00 tons,
would be a $20,000 loss in pack
ing wages at 2 cents. a pound, a
serious" enough item: In . the : fin
ances of the pickers who have
counted - on the logans. as their
salvation. But if the. loss is not
more than this S per -cent, it will
leave the other $300,000 of pick
ing money for the workers,
While not aU the berries are
sold, or perhaps even salable even
at 4 cents a pound, some will be
sold fresh, andf for juice purposes,
and. under cooperative and pool
ing ' contracts, that may,- net con
siderably more than that prices
So the- pickers ought to gird ; up
their loins and take, courage, for

More Fruit Needed for First
i Carload Shipment to Go
: ! From Here
: The Oregon Loganberry Ex
change wants more berries today
than it now has definitely, arrang
ed for, for it first carload shlp
ment of fresh fruit. The berries
are to be delivered at the Capital
Ice Cold Storage warehouse on
Trade street, part of the old; Sa
hara Fruit Union plant. Those who
wish to consider getting in some
additional berries today, may ar
range by telephone, phone 698; or
by personally calling at the asso
ciation office, room 4, Bush-Brey-man
building on North Commer
cial street. Crates and full instruc
tions can be arranged - for, on a
moment's notice.
: The berries are to go into the
cold storage cooling station to
night and are to be packed Satur
day morning. . The ear will be iced
and-tfeen they are on theirway.
They go to Oinn, White" & Prince,
Inc.. of Wenatchee and Sumner,
Wash., that handle the fresh
fruits from those two localities.
They expect to be sending out 360
cars of raspberries alone this sea
son and will have aa many as 10
to 20 cars a day during the peak
of the 'season.
I I Cider Worka to Make JuJee
f Some interesting . new develop
ments are being reported : in- the
loganberry situation. The little
cider works on North Commercial
street, baa received an order for
a carload of loganberry juice, to
be prepared in the old Phes for-i
mula, and is going to prepare the
stuff at once. That isn't a very
large quantity of fruit but it helps
gome.- There might be a lot more
before it's over ' .
t It is understood that the Wood
bum pressing -plant is to the re
stored and : operated on a pooling
basis that according to the. con
tract canv hardly help netting . the
growers - at . least 5 cents a pound
for-; their berries, besides paying
tho plant owners a fair price "for
their plant and services. The ca
pacity of thig plant; is: estimated
at 250 tons. This is probably not
much more than 2 1-2 per cent
of ; the total loganberry ' crop: of
the state, but it helps a little. It
Is believed, from a careful check
up, of costs, that the berries ac
tually Will net the growers mbre
than 5 cents, but that much seems
definitely certain.

Christian Science Called Re

Kentucky Man'
The following is an abstract bf
It lecture" entitled "Christian
Science; the Religion of. Fulfill
ment," by Judge Samuel W.
Greene of Louisville, Ky., at the
Grand theater last night; -
' ' Christian Science Is indeed the
new-old - story of-Life and Truth
and Lore. It Is the simple, sweet
story as It was taught and proved
and practised by Jesus of Nazar
eth 1900 years ago. It embraces
just the same thought, that
through the understanding of the
ever-present love and power of
God, humanity is healed not only
of sin but of all the results of sin
sickness, sorrow, unhapplness,
death. ; ;;.
Perhaps the term Principle, as
used for God in Christian Science
has more , than ; any .other word
aroused an unusual inquiry in the
average of thodox ; thought, for
men hare thought of God gener
ally as just a great superman, a
power to be feared rather than un
derstood and . loved, sitting upon
a throne, waiting to - judge men,
and sending both good and evil.
The world needs to get away from
tbis View of God. It needs a larg
er concept of God. which, la em
braced in the use ot th term Prin

a woman1 came to me ia seeming
mental distress and said: "I want
lo know; how.' your God can be
everywhere af the same time." -1

of God being Principle, aa it af
