' '' THE LOGANBERRY SLUMP : (Oresronian. f pvpuittiijr 01 me joganDeny, at least among; grow- era, has received a distinct setback by the unfavorable market v now prevailing. With the refusal of the canneries to iabsorb the crop, one of the heaviest on. record, the loganberry ranch er must not only relinquish his hope of profit but actually f confront a heavy loss. Causes for the slump are somewhat difficult to determine and may befound in over-production, j in the retention of a portion of last season's pack,' or in the failure of the berry itself to win its way. Certainly the pre .dicament ofthe growers teaches that it is never advisable to carry all of one's eggs in a single basket, f j Manifestly the loganberry is a desirable small fruit, ex cellent in itself but with certain- limitations. I It . could never be expected to displace the raspberry in public favor, since its advantage rests almost solely in the superior production of juice. It is a welcome variant to other berries, but not the only berry. Unquestionably the trouble with the market i at present is partly, if not entirely, discovered in 4he fact that Oregon has been too thoroughly converted to the Ibgan- j berry. For had the loganberry been entirely popularized the state could not keep pace with the demand.; As it is, the situation is a warning to growers to go slow, to diversify, and to refuse to depend on a single variety. Loganberries will always be grown,! of course, and usually at a satisfactory profit--but it is apparent that from now on a most thought l f ul study of future markets should be made as a preliminary v to their extensive culture by the individual grower, i I "I ) Things j To Do j TeeBoys and Girls Newspaper , f 1 The Blssest Little Paper in the World : Copyright, 1023, Associated Editors.

Do you know, who this Jack Robinson was? I , According to one story, which comes from England, Jack Robin son was a hangman who had a special knack of executing the unfortunate .'prisoners - with great speed. He did not take the time to tie the usual complicated hang man's knot, but had a trick slip knot which he himself Invented. - Another story; says; that this Jack Robinson was a ' messenger in the Bank of England and about the . only time ; people ever saw him he was running to one bank or another with his little black, tightly locked satchel in his hand: He had a reputation for knowing every "short ut" in London, and ft was told that no man In the whole city could reach a place as quickly as Jack, Robinson. We-don't know, which story Is tru,; so you can believe which ever one you like. , . Piffles Says I "utmegs are great, but yoo caa always find a nutmeg greater. bundle all wrapped in heavy pa per. "What do you suppose thia can be?

"Maybe it's her wedding dress." ' j ' -' , "Oh, do you suppose so? How exciting! Let's go ask her if we can open It. The girls carried the big bundle 1 down to the sitting room, where Grandmother sat knitting before the open . win dow, i I : " : "No, it's! not a dress " Grand mother laughed at their disap pointment. "But I don't believe you'll be so 'disappointed when you see wlat It is." She glanced at the calender on the wall. "Why, isn't It lucky you should find this today? It's Flag Day. Open up the package, girls, and I'll tell you the story of what you find." ; With trembling fingers the girls tore oft the paper and un folded a big j flag. It was the ueerest looking flag they had ev seen, ; t ! . : '? . "It was during the war," Grand mother began.- "Your great JJacle Henry's company had just taker a fort. Their flag had been badly shot to pieces,, so, they..aad, Bone to hoist over the fort. " ' fcl . The endeavor to dispose of the local crop by placing it for sale on the public market is a praiseworthy one, though it cannot if extremely successful do more than return to the growers the cost of production; It will demonstrate this im portant principle, however that a market is never defined by the customary calls on it. That is to say, the regular me diums of distribution do not entirely cover the field, in that they fail of personal contact with the consumer. Logan berries at an attractive price, offered by the grower directly to the consumer, afford this contact. The growers who have erected booths along the highways and who offer their ber ries for sale to the passing motorists will tell you that this is so. The middleman, of course, is essentially necessary to the industry at all ordinary times tion does not rest with him. It duction of the two chief factors in industry the producer and the purchaser. r More than all else, the is clearly a lesson in the need as has brought prosperity to affording a market and a price, and insuring that a surplus crop does not mean ruin but indicates an even greater suc cess. It is, naturally,-piffle to assume that choice fragrant Oregon fruit, marketed by j the box, or dried, or in cans or sold as juice, is not somewhere required and wished for. (The conclusion of the whole matter in the above editor ial of the Oregonian of yesteday is in the concluding para graph. All the loganberries of the members of the Oregon Growers Cooperative association are being picked. They are now using 28 dryers to take care of the surplus. IF EVERY GROWER IN OREGON WERE A MEMBER OF THIS ASSOCIATION, EVERY ; LOGANBERRY WOULD BE PICKED THIS YEAR. If every loganberry grower in Ore gon will get into a mutual association, and if all the associa tions will work together, future crops of loganberries will be taken care of. Why? Because there will be preparation in advance. There will be boxes and cartons provided. There will' be advertising for the consumer market. All the out lets will be studied and taken advantage of canning, dry ing, dehydration cold pack, shipments of fresh fruit, juice. Indeed, all the loganberries are "somewhere required and wished for;" and they can be made to be wished for at prices high enough to bring a profit to the growers; to stabilize the industry absolutely. Organization 100 per cent organization will make the loganberry industry as solid as Gibralter; permanently; throughout the years. It will keep the loganberry industry going and growing. Other refuge have they none. Nothing else will serve. There is nothing else just as good; nothing else absolutely sure of stabilizing the loganberry industry. Ed.) Loads Of Fun Edited by John M. Miller. A COLLIE WITH A REAL JOB Although Shep is a Scotch Col lie, he'v is 100 per cent American, and a steady worker for Uncle Sam. Ho won his commission through merit alone and asks no pay for what more could a dog want than a kind master, a com fortable home with plenty to " eat end, best of all, the distinction of being the only dog light-setter in the government service? i Shep' master is employed " by the government to take care of the lights on the docks along the Ohio river that, must be faith fully placed every night so that the big river 'boats will not run into the docks or steer aground. Shep Follows Master I For a long time Shep followed his master every night on his rounds. It took him a long, time to complete his task, for he had to carry the lanterns from a little shed near his house, down 'the river, and out on the end of each of the 12 docks he ' had charge of. . " . j 1 ; ' I One evening Shep's master was not: feeling well. It took him longer than usual to hang the lanterns, and before he was half through, the river was almost lost in the darkness. There was no time to lose, for the lights must be In their places to . warn : the boats. , ; . ; Sbp Helps, Out t Shep " did not ' deed to' be told what to do.- He saw his oppor tunity to help his kind master. He ran back to the shed, picked up a lighted lantern in his mouth, and raced put to the end of the farthest dock, stood up on his hind legs and slipped the handle of the lantern on the hook. Back he went for another lantern and another until they were all In their places. i "It was late at night when he sent a scout home asking us girls to make him one for morning. We lived In the country with-no advantages : such as we have to day. We had to use just what materials we could find in the house, Mother gave, us a white linen sheet to make the stars and white, stripes. Sister' Bertha and I both had nice new red-flannel petticoats. There : was nothing to do but cut them up for the red stripes. I'm afraid I shed a few tears on mine as I cut it into stripes. ; -i-X'. x ''; "We had the worse time find ing the blue for the field. ; We dyed a pillow slip with indigo, or what we call blu'ng now,, and made our blue field.' All night long we sat up and sewed on our flag. Early the next morning the scout started off fdr the fort with it under his arm." Grandmother's eyes were full of tears as ' she looked at the old flag. "Let's hang it up." she said.

Is the credit due to the secretary of state who -actu ally penned the text of the article In question, or the president who incorporated it in his annual mes sage to congress' and accepted re- sponsibility for It? Over this quibble a lively dis cussion has. been awakened; and it is intensified, by - the various commemorations this year of the one-hundredth anniversary of the promulgation of a policy to which the 'South American republics probably owe their independence. In 1823 James Monroe - was president and John Quincy Adams was secretary, of; state. It was a year full of uncertainties and dis quietude. Several of the South American states had declared their independence; which Spain refused to admit. Spain! was then a mem-, ber of the Holy Alliance; and she' appealed to that league to aid her In reconquering J her American Possessions. Ji Ll J, V- V 1 V ; Chateaubriand's : i "Memoirs" give -' some Interesting details; of the secret diplomacy of the Euro? pean states at that time. France had been, humbled by the Napol eonic wars and was seeking to re establish itself as a world power. It was a member of the Holy Al liance and insisted that the pled ges of that league for the mutual protection 'of the possessions of the members should be enforced. England was outside the alliance and was not "in sympathy with its policy in relation to the rebellious southern states. From Canning, the; nritish for eign minister, apparently came the i suggestion that England would lend Its support to a policy of noninterference, if such a dec laration should he made by the United States. It was' at thl3 time that Canning made his fam ous declaration in the house of commons: called the New World into existence to redress the balance of the old," words that' carried a more distant prophe cy than he then dreamed. Canning's letter to Rush. Amer ican .envoy to London, was sub mitted by Monroe to Madison and Jefferson for joint discussion; for he was aware that a crisis In the life of the American states had arrived. Letters are extant which show that Jefferson strongly ap proved the policy of noninterfer ence ; from the other side of the Atlantic. The following para graph from Adam's writings seems to settle the question of who actually formulated the lan- 1 guage in .which the policy was first expressed: i "I had been authorized by him (Monroe) to assert the principal in a letter of instruc tion to Mr. Rush, then minis- ter to England, and bad writ ten the paragraph in the very words inserted by - Mr.Monroe ,la his message. It was by Mr. Monroe's custom, and has been, I believe, that of all of the presidents of the United States to prepare their an nual messages and to receive from the heads of each of the departments and to adopt " them as written, or with such modifications as the writer of the message ;deemed : ad visable." But does It detract from the Im mortal glory of Monroe that he consulted with other great Amer icans and secured a consensus of opinion before issuing so import ant a pronunciamento? Not in the least. It reflects rather to his credit. Moreover, it gives us a glimpse of the manner in which the young government handled international problems. There were, Apparently no partisan Jeal ousies, no political axes to grind when questions of supreme inter national Importance were under discussion. . Jefferson and Madison had ser ved as chief executives. Monroe 'did not hesitate to make use of their experience, to solicit their co-operation and advice. John Quincy Adams had his part in the various conferences. He was strongly in favor of a declaration of the independence of all Ameri can states from European domin ation or interference. 4 But Mon roe was not -lukewarm; neithei was he timid, as the following ex tract from one of his letters to his secretary of state relative to a change in a state paper dis closes: f OD AY COME EARL Y, B U Y THE LIMIT "I have thought It would be better to omit the expres sion of sentiment " that we would engage In no war- for Interests other than our own. As far as the Monroe Doctrine Itself Is concerned It. marks a courageous igfetlori and! a (great achievement at one of the most critical periods in American his tory. There is honor enough and glory enough fpr all concerned. That there was no such quibbling about credit during the lives of those concerned is evidence of the greatness of heart and spirit of the early defenders of the repub lic. .
