SUPERIORITY COMPLEX ON PRUNES
I
The people of-this section have been so fed up on tales of
woe concerning prunes that they were in danger of getting
the inferiority complex or. slant on the whole industry
, ;. When the,, opppsite attitude is the thing most needed! in
the whole scheme, from the tree roots to the packages in the
. market places of the world. '
- Several things h&ve been-happening of late to turn the
Si ' c. slant the other way, 'and there can not be too many happen-

Portland's back country, as well as. to ail other producers in
that great region." Y -- ' : : ; "
J So it , transpires that the prune industry was not in as bad
it a' way as the gloomsters have been leading our people to
Xx ' imagine-?- , t
7 i . In fact there are several rays of hope. The biggest of
tl our prune Cooperatives has sold out on the' 1926 crop, and has
y . extended atnd built up a lot of satisfied markets, bn quality'

g -this. one group, and ready to take more, from the 1927 crop.
- The one thing needed ,by our prune industry is near 100
8 r per cent cooperation; cooperation in putting up a superior
. product and marketing it at a low cost; including advertising
in many ways . iyT r' " .
". Doing as the -successful cooperatives of California do,
giving cooperative help all along the line, from 'the grower
who produces , the fruit to the consumer; who. buys it; and

William M. Bntler chairman of
the republican national committee,
told party leaders here today ttiat
he 'did not come west to talk about
candidates or issues,' but to urge
organization. - '
"1 read in a newspaper,"-' the
former senator from Massachusr
etts said. "that f-am making this
tour to put pep Into the republi
can party. "This is a mistake. The
party needs no pep. I carry the
message of organization, for there
b always room for improvement.
even in -Oregon, for it keeps a
party alive And assures us of sat
isfactory results. ". ?-
"No matter how good .the can
didate and ' platform, loyalty to
leaders and organization is what
brings victory."
Mr, Butler declined to be led
into a discussion of the possible
candidacy, of President Coolidge
next year. He said, however, that
he had received "much valuable
information"" on his western trip.
Did he have any idea as 'to. who
would be the party candidate 'in
1928? He did not, Butler replied.
That was a subject which the con

chairman saidr
