POOL CONTRACT The mohair growers of the coast states who have pooled their 1925 clips with the Pacific Cooperative Wool Growers nre receiving a Christmas distribution in cash pro ceeds covering the year's sales and making a clean up on the season. This follows closely tlwi returns sent out by the Association to the growers of wotd In western Oregon and will be promptly followed by the closing of such other pools as have been completed, together with settlements for the salo of such Individual clips of range wools as have been mnde to date. This will m:ike a distribution of approximately two thousand grow era In the current week. The mohair prices received are satisfactory, in veiw of the diffi cult conditions which have existed with reference to the manufacture nf mohair products this year. These pertain more particularly . to the choicer grades of hair and the con dition is well Illustrated by Ihe ex planation of a largo manufacturer who is quoted as follows: "The mohair situation this year is quite different from nnylhing which we have experienced for a long lime. The market on long mohair, most of which comes from abroad, has been so high and the competition on our products so keen that we havo changed our process so as to mako it possiblo for us lo use all fall Texas mohair. Having estab lished tills me! hod in our mill and having figured our costs on this basis, wo shall not oe in a posi tion for some time to pay any pre mium for long mohair. As a matter of fact because of the changes which we havo made It would be rather Inconvenient for us to use long mohair In our plant, even at (ho same price as tho other. We do not believe this condition will last Indefinitely but it has been ex isting for soino time and we offer this explanation In answer to your Inquiry, We certainly do not he llevo that tho present demand for shorter mohair Is going to nffect permanently the entire ninhnlr in dustry. Wo have always been be lievers In long mohair and partic ularly in well bred bright mohair of a good grade. We believe anyone of several changes which nugni tako place would tend to restore conditions to the runner nasis ana do not believe that you have any more reason now to worry over the future of mohair than you ever had." Private Information Is to the ef fect that n number of manufactur ers are not at prsent using tho Kid and Number One Mohair they pur chased, but nro holding same until conditions restore them to demand. The sale prices for mohair In the pool nre as follows: Kid Oftc No. 1 62 ftc No. 2 62 ftp No. 3 ;..3c Itrown Ends air Carding E9VjC Scedv 33 4" lllack 3Hc Dnmnged 32 -Vie Koinpv - 31 Colled 36 '4c Eleven per cent of the pool was Ifid. forty uer cent Number One. thirty-four per cent Number Two. balance other grades. Tho average prlco is 68 cents por pound. This is the nrth annual monnir iooI of tho Association and con hides tho period of tho original flvo vear marketing agreement ex ecuted In 1921. A new marketing irieement iiermlttlng the growers to withdraw after two years. If de- Ired, was drawn up and today has been signed bv the owners of more than six Tiundied thousand sheep and goats In the states nf Oregon. Washington, Idaho, California and Nevada. TURKEY TRADE E Tho turkey came back strong with the Christinas holidays and the bird that felt down miserably as a Thanksgiving seller, swept the uoardB. Not a turkey was left In town by the time buying was over today and the birds went along at about 48 cents a pound retail. Hurry Levy of the Midget, who handled a vast quantity of turkeys this year, says that the ix pec ted slump turned Into a triumph for the turkey and that orders would go unfilled because of the extreme ly heavy demand developing the hist day or two before the turkey eating day. Unquestionably In numerous fam Hies Die turkey, ordinarily the real Thanksgiving bird, was passed up in Thanksgiving menus due to the high price and the feeling that the Thanksgiving dinner would be staged at Christmas time when they figured turkeys would be cheaper. As a result the demand went far beyond expectations. All along, up to within the past few- days predictions have been made that there would be plenty of tur keya fur Christmas and as a result it was felt prices would decline al the last minute. Geese and ducks also were rarity by this morning. Geese sold out rapidly and before noon the cupboards were bare. The .same was true of ducks, from all reports that could be .gathered. In fact, markets were frantically telephon ing back and forth In an effort to locate additional geese, ducks and turkeys, as well, Chicago Wheat Phlr.'iL'rt !)... 24 The wheal market closed strong, 2i to 4 Mils net Higher, new siyie. up mher $1.76 to $1.77 and May $1.74Mi to $1.744.

Rottle fiioney saving stores The Origin and Oper ation of Skaggs Stores Tho elephant la a mam moth beast, equally capable of much good or much harm according to tho manner of his handling. In him is Int ent almost unlimited power for service or for destruction and the channels Into which his great strength shall he guided are matters for the determination of the man or men Into whose keeping he la given. Likewise, the great Mallet type of locomotive roaring down the track with its string of cars flashing after It like tho tall to a comet' is a potent factor for destruction unless the man at the throttle is cool- headed, uteady nerved and of unswerving righteousness of purpose. Ilut, unless Ihe en gineer shall have suddenly gone mad. he will he true to his trust and guide his train and his passengers through to safety if for no other rea son than beeauso he real ises that to do otherwise means his own destruction as well ns the destruction of the mighty power which he controls. It is true that great organ isations, such as Skaggs store,- represent a mighty power and much has- been sa Id by those who lacked Information, or who had giv en the matter but slight thought or who were Inspir ed by a misconception of their own self-interest about the potential menace which this power constituted. To realize the fallacy of this argument It is only necessary to reflect for a moment upon the self-evident fact that the man or men capable of build ing these great organizations must be possessed of at least . a normal amount of common sense. And, being possessed of ordinary common sense they have oly to look back over history to realize that tho slightest abuse of the power which thoy control will Inevitably result In the ultimate destruction of. that power and themselves with it. Thus, It issigflln seen that the element of self-interest aside from any higher mo tives, automatically acts as a safety valve and a very ef fective check upon the ac tions of those to whom the public has seen fit to entrust Wishing You a Very Merry Christmas SKAGGS GROCERY SKAGGS MARKET the guidance of the policies of great institutions. Fur thermore, It Is an incontro vertible law of economics that only those enterprises which render the greatest service can hope to survive and the old must give way to the new In exact proportion to the greater service which tho new can render. There fore, to continue to exist the new must constantly strive to excel, else it, too, will fall by the wayside. For in the last analysis the public Is a merciless judge and will be served. In the mass effort, repre sented by such organizations as Skaggs stores, guided by sound and constructive poli cies, lies the greatest oppor tunity for genuine service and Individual accomplish ment. Motivated by the right Impulses and destined for a definite gonl the goal of the maximum in service and efficiency there Is apparently no limit to the splendid results which Is within their power to pro duce. And these results need not al I be material al though we havo found that the public Is generous, even liberal. In rewarding Its real servants they can be and are deeply gratifying to the soul as well. In the earlier articles of this series we have seen how Skagwrs stores originated from the efforts of one man to find the solution for what to him. constituted a problem in larger community service. We have ssen them grow from a tiny, one-man under taking to an enterprise of vast proportions with more than 300 stores and 1500 wideawake, loyal, earnest and enthusiastic young men and women engaged In their operation. We have seen inaugurated a profit-sharing plan that is unique in its scope and equity to all con cerned, including tho ulti mate consumer, it has been made clear how it is possible sometimes to make a liberal profit out of what qthers waste nnd still render the public a genuine "service of saving." If tlile series of articles shall have revealed nnd made understandable to the read er the marvelous spirit, the courageous heart nnd the sincere purpose of every member of this great body of men and women who are striving cheerfully nnd con tentedly toward the ulti mate goal of "Distribution without waste" if they shall have made you regard us as simply "one of the commun ity In spirit nnd endeavor" to know that Skaggs stores, like most other stores, nro owned exclusively by the men who actually operate them and that these men nre your friends and nelghbors then all of the effort of their prep aration and publication will be more than justified. i We began this series of articles with a statement concerning Reverend S. M. Skaggs. the founder Skaggs stores. We want to close it in the same way by saying that the altruism nnd hlch purpose of the man found Its only material regard in the way he would have it the achievement of his life's am bition "to be able to preach the Gospel without charge wherever the need and to the limit of his capac ity" and the funds to make this possible regularly - find their way to him from the profits of the Institution he founded.
