MISTAKES AND UNTRUTHS The propaganda spilled for a long time, and now renewed, against the Oregon Growers Cooperative association, has been i and is now based largely on mistakes and truths. i . The Oregon Growers Cooperative association was organ-. ized on correct lines!" - It performed useful and valuable I service jf ' - - ' x I And it lacked for complete success only three things. First, it lacked "sufficient membership; near enough to 100 per cent .membership of the men engaged in the lines it under took to serve. Second,? it lacked the loyal support of a suffi ciently large number of the numbers it had. Third, it lacked capital. But the last lack would have been supplied if the two first had not been wanting. It lacked sufficiency near 100 per cent membership through the activities of outsiders who were working against it largely for 4elfish ends, claiming that they did not believe in the cooperative principle, etc., etc, ; tt lacked sufficiently near 100 per cent of loyal support of its memlbefs because of petty jealousies and the general distrust through which every organization of the kind must live, or fail to live. long. Every one of the many successful cooperatives of California have lived through that period. Prof. C. :L Lewis, who was influential in organizing the Oreffon Growers CooDerative association, was a bier man. It is not true that he used the Oregon Agricultural college to help in the! organization of the association. He stepped out i ion his own, which he had a right to do. t But short sighted; members thought he was receiving too ' high a salary. It wasj $6000 a year part of .the time, if not all the time. He went to take a $12,000 a year salary, and a . percentagefi of the 'business besides, at Chicago, with the American jFruit Grower Magazine, and died in that service. 1 Such positions as he! held here pay in California $25,000 a .year and upward. P?of. Lewis was a $25,000 man, and more, i in usefulness jto the service he would have performed here, if he had not lacked the support his efforts deserved And thie sa'me thing happened to others. Bob Paulus was a$25,000 iman, though he was paid only a small portion of that sum by the Oregon Growers Cooperative association, and , some of this membersjcould not see how he could earn $4000 or $5000 or $6000 a year for them, handling a business running to around $3,000,000 a year in volume. His work since has proved that he is more than a $25,000 man, and he has served largely the same men, but in his own business, buying from them onlyfbecause he was able to pay better prices than Mthe other fellow." i j And so gn downt the list. . s - The prune industry needs another Oregon Growers Coop erative association, but one with a near 100 per cent member- ship of the growers, and a membership that will-not be afraid to pay able men adequate salaries, and a membership of people who will stand by them. " : N .- If all the angles of the prune industry can be represented, and in a harmonious organization, well and good. : But this ' is a matter needingjcooperation from the ground up; from the tree roots up, asthe successful cooperatives in California have found out. Th citrus fruit cooperative, the largest and .'most successful in tne world, does everything, from furnish-j ing fertilizer and smudge pots to making boxes and manufac turning many products and distributing dispensers by hun- dreds of thousands to the soft drink stands of the country. Its advertising funds now run into millions of dollars a year. It the prune industry of Oregon and western Washington is to be stabilized thoroughly, a leaf will have to be taken from the book of the citrus fruit cooperative of California - And every angle of it will have to be considered and taken . care of. There is room in this effort for the help of the Oregon Agricultural college and for cooperation of all the other Interests connected with the industry . j And big' men are needed all along the line; great organ izers; unselfish men." 'And then loyalty clear down to the . last and "smallest grower -yl y . , - :' : ; . And; this need extends to every interest that was repre sented by the organization, that was built up and headed by Prof. C. I. Lewis, one of the greatest men in his line Oregon ever had. f'.i..', -;" :' r i r r ; - -t -. .''..,;; - t. Those who give"' quickly in the i Red 'Cross drive, give drably! Immediate need is to be relieved.

Why do we not all strive ta emulate the tolerant catholicity of John Wesley ? Here is one of his messages to the world: "I will not quarrel with you about any opinions. Only see that your heart is right toward God, that you know and love your neighbor and walk as your Master walked, and I desire ho more.' Why not all of us be honestly striving to rise to the Christian charity of Paul? "Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put. a stumbling-block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way." "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God and approved of men. Let us therefore follow, after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may nlify another." When, accptding to the Gospel record one honest "seeker after truth came to the,Mster, asking what he should do to inherit eternal life. He said unto him, "What is written in the law ? How readest thou V ..And he answering said, Thou shall loye the' Lord , thy po with, all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and With all thy strength, and with attlthymind, J&d thy neighbor as thy self. And He said imtoTtfThou hast answered right ; this do and thou shall live." Not an intimation can be found anywhere in the gospels that any thing less than living he truth and manifesting His spirit of righteousness, love and service will lead one to eternal life.

It says that within the last twelve years twelve thousand Jews in that city have joined Christian churches, about half of them becoming Catholics. It is reported that in Hungary forty thousand Jews have been baptized, that in Budapest the Presbyterians alone have received two thousand five hundred, and that in Ukrainia many Christian congregations, composed exclusively of Jews, have been organized." It is not a question of the holding of the prune meetings for the election of the committee of one hundred. The meet ings are being held. The delegates will b? elected. The com mittee of one hundred -will assemble. The question is one of cooperation of all interests concerned. Full cooperation, continued throughout the whole time for the task, will stabil ize the prune industry. I'. .iVvViiirViM J I IHil ITT l-...-W Val.'fT III I II . VP klMrafwIiiM NempsfM.
