The union service was arranged Thursday at the Independence Ministerial , association meeting held at the Baptist church. The association was reorganised and officers elected are Rev. William B.

Cooly, the yenng officer talked np to the high command. He wasn't Impertinent but he wasn't jittery, either. He said bluntly that Insufficient training time had been allowed. Pershing like It When the war ended the young officer returned from Europe as the general's senior aide de camp. And when the venerable general of the armies lay near death a few yeare ago at Phoenix, Aril., he called to his bedside the same man General George C. Mar shall, now chief of staff of the United States army. Actually, fellow officers say, George Marshall was marked for a high place in the army long be fore his brush with Pershing. Early la his career he arrived in the Philippine Islands Just prior to extensive maneuvers. The officer who had planned the troop movements had fallen lU at the last moment and the problem was dropped into ' Lieutenant Mar shall's lap. Army men say he did a whale of a job. General Johnson Hagood recommended that he be pro moted from first lieutenant to brigadier general in one lump. but the president did not act on the recommendation. For years, critics of the army's system of promoting by seniority up to the rank of eolonel have cited Marshall as an examole of brilliance penalized by the sys tem. Perhaps his best known achievement In the World war was organising the secret move ment of 820,000 men in 14 days, preparatory to the Meuse-Argonne offensive. General Pershing called this "a stupendous task," and a Brit ish military man said It was "the most difficult staff operation of the war." Right now General Marshall is concentrating on the organisation of a mechanised corps of two di visions, adapting to American needs the lessons learned from operations of the famous German "panser" divisions. Later, he says, there may be two and even three such corps. But he isn't rushing willy nilly to adopt all the weapons and methods nsed recently In Europe. As to gO-ton tanks, for in stance, he Is keeping in mind the fact that many bridges In this country wouldn't hold them and that the scene of aetfon might be anywhere on this vast contin ent. "Ia Europe," he izplti&tfl, "they knew exactly every bridge and every road they would en counter. Furthermore, the general says, the army Is planning Its current expansion in such a manner that. "If the Lord is good to us" and the necessity for a large fighting force fades away, the country wouldn't be burdened with a heavy permanent load of person nel and buildings.

Oct. 1X-P- The agriculture department listed tod &y as one ot the major agri cultural developments ta recent years the growth of fruit and vegetable production In Washing ton and Oregon. . The department termed the survey and Inventory ot what the nation has In agriculture and what It aeeda to meet the uncer-- tainltiee of eompetltloai aad de mand.

This rep resents a tea-told increase la five years and a further expansion appears probable. "The rapid development ot frozen packing probably will mean that the areas of the south aad southwest (including Cali fornia) that now produce small fruits and vegetables for the northern and eastern markets during the winter and early spring will lose an important part of their market outlet, unless they can remain in production at prices comparable to those pre vailing whoa the prod nets from the more temperate areas come os the market. The higher acre yield and smaller production ex penses give the temperate areas an advantage that will Increase the adverse effect ot frosen pack ing on those areas now produc ing 'out of season' fruits and vegetables. "On the Pacific coast, frosen packing is likely to favor the northern part ot the region where it may furnish an alternative en terprise to distressed orchard areas. But one must bear in mind that many areas in this country are physically suited for growing high-quality fruits and vegetables required' ta freesing. la the next few years the indus try may develop faster la the north central states and the northeast, where production will be eloaer to consuming markets. "In any consideration of agri culture changes in thia region; however, one' must not neglect the rapid Increase la population on the Pacific coast. The popu lation of Washington.

This change In location of the con suming population means aot only better local outlets for poultry, eggs, fruits aad vegetable but also larger markets for dairy production and meat animals.

HAMBRO Vacmim-43eaxiiiig Cows Pay Scot Dairyman Profit PORTLAND. Ore.. Oct. ll-CP-Aad there was the Sooteh dairy man who vaeaaav-eleaaed his cow! and sold the dirt. It's no joke to Arthur S. Ifoul- ten. owner of the Mlddale Guern sey farm at Vancouver, Wash. He admits: 1. That he Is Scottish. 3. That he vacuum-cleans his cows. t. That he sells the dirt. Purchasers of the pedigreed dirt It eomes from the mostly hlghlybred cows are two Port land physicians who uss it in ex periment! involving allergies and hayfever. Another trick of the youthful Scotsman, who holds a Phi Beta Kappa scholarship key from Ore gon State college, is feeding cows yeast. "Another dairyman first got the Idea to step up bovine appetites, which in turn led to increased milk production tor cows milked on test," Moulton explained. "I got the idea it might be used to increase the vitamin Z content of milk. "Tests hare proved I was right that it increased vitamin D eon- teat of a quart of milk to a point where It equaled that yen would get from a teaspoon and a halt of codllver oil. "The best part of ft is that the milk tastes and smells no differ ently aad some of the doctors around here are paying premium prices to git It for their own chil dren. The milk helps prevent rickets aad checks tooth decay.

Those ot aa who dissent believe that tho markets belong to the buying public aad that they have the right to buy where they pleas.
