Gumming the Cards
Professors of the Oregon Agricultural college, lacking
agricultural students to teach, evidently to iustifv the r ex-
istence, have taken upon themselves the task of instructing
ine prune growers now to manage tneir industry and are in.
terfering in the cooperative effort of the growers and pack
ers to stabilize the industry.
The college experts have sent out notices calling for a
series oi meetings ot prune growers and a prune convention,
for the purpose of forming a new growers cooperative asso
ciation, along lines of the defunct Oregon Growers, which
also was organized by the college professors to the demor
alization ot the industry and bankruptcy of the crrowers
The professors ignore the fact that for the past six
months efforts have been under way by a committee named
lor tne purpose, lor organizing all e omenta in the nruno in.
dustry along the lines of the "Parker plan" being worked out
in California, whereby the prunes of the growers could be
eneciiveiy pooled and marketed by the packers, acting as
sales agents under contracts with growers and thus stabilize
the market by eliminating rate-cutting that is destroying the
imiusii y.
in uic iiccompnsnmeni or mis latter plan, the prune sur
vey, recently completed by the experts of the United States
department of agriculture, was an initial step. When this
survey was made public last week, Paul A. Maris, director
ot extension work at the O. A. C. counseled against anv ef
fort then to form a preliminary prune organization, because
it was a busy season in the orchards, and the growers could
not spare the time." This was evidently in accordance with
the plan of perfecting, later, an exclusive growers coopera
tive movement, under college auspices.
The call for a stale prune growers convention at Torvnl.
lis in June issued by Professor Maris, has brought forth
protests from the committee appointed by the packers and
growers to lormumie a plan lor stain iine the industry i.lnntr
the lines of the California plan, where )2 nercent nf tho
packers have signed escrow agreements to sell the crop as
agents oi ine grower, and a similar percentage of growers
nave also signed delivery contracts, as inimical to the com
mitteo's plans.
e
Louis Lachmund, who was the committee's delegate in
negotiations with the California prune men, writes to fro
lessor Maris, requesting the proposed convention be called
olt. lie asks:
t mil rather curious to learn what yoiir moi'tlncs contemplate oc
romplfehmii? The thought occurs to mc that you nto simply kum
luniK the cards by holding mri'llnga oil over tlto slate without a definite
procrnm which all Inlcrested parties can net behind nnd support. This
problem is irolnfr to be solved by practical men, men who are financiallv
interested liom the urowlnir and selling end of the business and this Is
no ttme lor theorists to undertake to organize the Industry from an ex
clusive growers standpoint. That lias been tried bclure with disastrous
results.
1 would surest Uiat you abandon your meetings until a concrete
plan ha.i been worked; something that can be submitted to growers and
packers nnd defended. There will be enough work to do by all Inter
ested parlies and enough glory to go around. At no time did I ever
think It was the function oi the agricultural college to take Initial steps
to perfect mi organization, they did not do It In California, although
they did secure valuable Information from the U. of C. but only In an
advisory capacity. The work was done by the Interested parties and the
interested parties are tne growers ana packers.
W. T. Jenks, another member' of the prune committee
writes the O. A. C. expert A3 follows:
The committee appointed by the packers are active and are getting
Information from Calilomla continually and are ready to shoot when
the ttme comes. I think It Is very unwise to get the growers all worked
up without any plan. It Is certain you will not get any plan when you
get 100 growers together. Many of us have recollections of the former
organization gotten up by the O. A. C. which proved so disastrous, and
we certainly do not want a repetition of this kind of experience, for It
would about ruin the growers In the Willamette valley.
I have a very recent communication from San Francisco In which
1 was advised that they are working vigorously on their plan and some
thing will be announced In the very, very near future. The Oregon com
mittee la Investigating and doing work on tne quiet wnicn win no Dcneii
cial when we come to organize.
The prune industry should be left to those who have their
fortunes invested in it and whose livelihood depends upon
it not those who have nothing to offer but theories and who
aland to lose nothing if the theories fail to work.
The Oregon (irowers failed largely because it tried to
nut the packers, who knew the marketing game, out ot uusi
liess with inexperienced amateurs. The result was a price
cutting war that broke the growers and crippled the packers.
Any similar procceiltire is destined to similar failure.
No effort to rehabilitate the prune Industry will be suc
cessful unless there is agreement secured between practical
ly all packers and all the growers for price stabilization.
When such n plan of action has been agreed upon, and con
tracts under it can be offered, the O. A. C. experts can as
sist in putting it across. Until then the college experts
Hhould keep hands off.

"it won.n KILL IIKR."
For a moment Rolf nnd Diana
tared at one another, In her
rvei he read the truth. She loved
him. She had ftlwnyn loved rum
She hut nut Chun ii ed since the
nfn-ht when she sobbed out to her
Xather: "If only X didn't love him"
And Jean stood between mem,
finally irrevocably, placed there by
his own blind iclfi.shnes.
Then Diana rose slowly to her
feet. She went to him, and laid ft
hand on his arm.
"Iff too late now. Rolf, but we
enn Iwavi be friend, cant we?
The words were only a whtsjier. He
rotild not answer them, but he
caught her hand In hta. raising It
to his lips and kissing It passion
ately. "My dear, my dear I love you ao."
"I love yon, loo. I mp always loved
roil. Rolf, but 1 here a Jean." i
She closed her eyes and seemed
to see again Jean's sweet, delicate
fare and soft eyes.
It would kilt Jean If she ever
knew of this."
Rolf spoke hurriedly.
"There must be some way for us.
I will tell JennI ' He broke off
Ashamed. What could he tell her?
How could he hope to make her
understand? Diana shook her head
Hhe was more happy than site
had ever been In her life, and yet
ahe was more miserable.
He loved her even aa she loved
him, and yet quite soon he tu to
marry another woman and take
her away with him.
The pain of that thought was an
Intolerable hurt, and she thrust It
angrily from her. For tonight she
would not think of tt; for tonight
she would be happy; sl.t would
dance her dance of Death and forget.
"Come and dance with mei Let s
pretend to be happy. Come and
dance with me, Rolf."
The band was playing wild fox
trot, and for the moment the nar
row passage and staircase were de
serted. Rolf caught her to him with
a Utile smothered whisper.
Kiss me, Diana, kiss me
Almost she had yielded to him:
she even rased her face, then she
drew back, warding him off.
"I can't, not now--please don't
ask me But she let him keep
her hand In his as together they
went down the staircase to the ball
room. It was not quite so crowded now.
and they 6lip;ed easily Into the
throng of dancers.
It was such happiness to feel his
arm around her attain; such delir
ious Joy to be with him, to meet his
eyes and hear his voice.
After the long weeks of suffering
she could have been content for
a little to go on so, silently, asking
no questions, ignoring the future,
but Rolf was different.
His passion for her was real
enough; he recognized that it was
and probably would always be the
greatest thing In his life, and yet
his heart told him that there could
be but one ending. They must part
When the music stopped he drew
her away from the dancers.
"Have you a wrap, Diana?
"Yes I left it in our box."
"May I fetch it for you?"
She looked up at him, the swift
color racing to her face.
"Father is there and Mrs. Col
man." "I am not afraid of them."
"I know, but I will fetch it mjr
seir, Rolf."
"Very well."
He followed her at a little dis
tance, and waited till she rejoined
him, a long coat of white fur over
her frock.
"What are you golnpr to do. Rolf?"
"I want to talk to you. It's Im
possible here." He felt her draw
back, and he asked:
"You're not afraid of me?"
"No, dear."
His face quivered at the little
word of endearment, and he held
her hand in ft hard clasp as to
gether they made their way out
into the night.
It was cold and crisp, with many
stars in the sky, and people who
were gathered about the door inter
estedly watching the many dancers
coming and going stared eagerly
after them, and there were many
murmurs of admiration as Diana
passed.
"Where are we going?" Diana
asked again, and Rolf answered.
"I've i -t a car. We ll drive a little
wav and talk."
He tucked her up warmly beside
him and started the engine. It was
like a dream, Diana thought, and
impulsively she said: "I'm a real
Cinderella now, only Instead of run
ning away from the Prince, I'm run
ning away with him."
They had turned Into a deserted
square. It was nearly two o'clock
in the morning, and London was
asleep.
Rolf stopped the car and turned
to her, his arms along the back of
her seat.
"Do you love me enough to run
away with me, Diana?"
"I love you enough for anything,
if only oh, Rolf, don't touch me
You know as weU as I do, that If
we if we did, it would kill Jean."

To the Editor: In ft recent Cap
ital Journal ,Rev. Tully in a pre
Easter address on the subject of our
Saviour's resurrection before the
chamber of commerce stated the
sabbath was changed to Sunday to
commemorate that event.
Now there is no question that
Jesus rose on that day but that had
nothing at all to do about chang
ing the sabbath. It was to fulfil the
type of the wave sheaf. Lov. 23:10,
11. Jesus was the first fruits In a
special sense of those who slept. He
was offered the right time of the
year, in the sjwing at the time of
the annual Jewish passover. He
was our passover slain for us. On
the morrow after the sabbath he
arose our wave sheaf before the
Lord, to fulfil the ardent type. He
appears that spring the yearly pass-
over sabbath the last of the two
was also the weekly sabbath "the
high day" of Jno. 19:31. This would
frequently occur and thus as I have
said w why Jesus rose on the first
day of the week. There is nothing
In our Bibles to show our Lord's
resurrection had anything to do
with changing the Sabbath. The
Sabbath has indeed been changed
socially as have other pillars and
posts of the Christian structure
been composed with,
Paul the Apostle tells tu In 2
Tim. 2:8 to "Remember that Jesus
Christ of the seed of David was rais
ed from the dead" but tells us
nothing about the day. It Is re
member the fact.
Now to any one who will find
proof in our English Bibles, either
the A. V. or the R. V. editions, that
the sabbath has been changed to
Sunday I will give for one year
free the Capital Journal.
This Includes of course Bro. Tully
and the Salem Chamber of Com-

God gave his best for us his only
son, when he come to earth there

sonthe golden apples that rot on
the ground and tons of berries and
instead of old trees rotting and fall
ing to pieces hundreds of new trees
should be planted. Apples, cheerles,
plums, prunes, walnuts, gooseberries,
currants, raspberries and strawber

with little care. How much better
they would do provided with proper
culture to supply a ready market.
Of course we should have a can

fruit and vegetables could be stored

people are deprived of these neces

from other points. Let us provide
