State Master of Oregon
Grange Says Much
f Depends On Success
of Cooperation
Eugene, Or., June 3. If the co
operative effort among the Ameri
an farmers fail there will be, in
) 2 judgment of C. E. Spence, state
master of the Oregon grange,
three possibilities facing the Am
erican farmer. These he outlined
as follows in the address, which
he delivered recently.
First, peonage, or the peasant
ry of the Middle Ages: second, po
litical action and state ownership
and operation of the system of
distribution; and third, revolu
tion." "I do not believe that the Am
erican farmer will ever stand to
be reduced to peasantry," reads
Spence's address which runs the
complete gamut of the problems
seen to beset the farmer, "al
though," he continues, "there is a
movement on foot under the direc
tion of the federal department of
agriculture to colonize European
peasants on the farms of this
country." The state grange master
sees in this colonization plan
(wtieh he mentions a scheme to
head off the present co-operation
movement among the American
farmers.
Transportation problems, taxa
tion, distribution, co-operative
marketing and the condition of
the state grange are some of the
things to be discussed by Mr.
Spence before the annual conven
tion of the body. In the co-opera
tive marketing system he sees the
future of the farmer assured.

Tuberculosis
Survey Will Be
Made In Benton
A special survey of tuberculo
sis conditions in Benton county is
being made by the Oregon Tuber- j
culosig assoclatton and the Stake
Board of Health. Rotert W. Os-1
born, who is conducting the inves-j
tigation is in Salem making ar-l
rangements for"a free tuberculosis
clinic to be held in Corvallis some
time this month with Dr. G. C. j.
Ballinger, superintendent of thej
state tuberculosis hospital, as the
examining physician.
"Before the clinic is held and'
the survey completed a thorough
investigation of sanitary condi
tions in Corvallis will be made,"!
stated Mr. Osborn. "Hotels, net-,
urants, meat shops, food handl
ing places and rooming houses willj
be inspected to see that the health
ot the public is properly protected.
Too of tea we find tuberculosis pa-
nm working in public eating
places."
"A tragic and pathetic instance
of how tuberculosis is communica
ted, was related to me by a Benton
physician. During bis early prac
tice he treated a school teacher for
tuberculosis, who insisted on fin
ishing th last few days of her
term, although carrying a temper
ature of 103. In her small school
five pupils later developed tuber
culosis and four died, one her own
brother In one of the hones where
a student died, everyone of the
family, except the father, died of
tuberculosis. Nearly every physl-j
cian can tell a similar story of
contagion, and still we find the
public generally negligent where
tuberculosis Is concerned."
Mrs. Wallace Strait Schultz, f ormerly the Princess Troubetskoy
of Russia, and reputed to be the most beautiful Red Cross nurse in
France, has found, it is said, that her marriage was all a mistake
and a failure. She is now livipg in San Francisco under an assumed
name to establish a residence there in order to bring suit for divorce
from her husband, a popular Milwaukee elubman. Wedded bliss with
her husband was all a mistake, she says, for after a few weeks of
married life, Captain Schultz accused her of having a husband and
brought suit for divorce. The former princess claims that Captain
Schultz, when he married her, kn ew that her first husband, Cap
tain T. Turpin, had been killed in action in France.
