This plan which is also winning wide favor among eastern producers, was intro duced into the Northwest by The Journal. Wheat growers will meet in the Portland Oregon is now added 10 near tuture ai in the growing list of farm bureau j fer on the best means of putting tne grow ni, market ng plan mto operation, states. Nearly 40 states with over their Kf a million and a half members are J crowers of Western Oregon will this nationwide ! be hey at Albany, January 21 to formulate marketing plans. The committee on legislation in dorsed several measures. They urge the state to continue matching the regular and supplemental federal Smith-Lever funds supporting exten sion work, and to continue the. sup port of the extension experimental now enrolled movement. Action to join the national feder ation es well as the perfecting of the state federation of the county bureaus took place at the three day session in Portland last week by the delegates from the 15 farm bureau counties which have ratified the constitution of the state bureau. The officers of the organization are George A. Mansfield of Medford, president; V. H. Smith of Wasco, vice president; P. 0. Powell xf Mon mouth, secretary; J. F. Sohroeder of work.

President Mansfield says: "In order to succeed in a movement of this character we must have the support of all classes of society, and our onen forum meetings are doing much to acquaint the public with our aims and purposes." It was a remarkable, and one might say unique spirit that prevailed over the entire meeting. The air was charged with a spirit of cooperation, not only of growers' associations and various state organizations, but also the representatives of the farmers' union, the state Grange, the bureau of markets, and the several market ing associations of the state. The federation is acting in conjunction with the extension service and in harmony with the other organizat ions. Starting its work of conducting hearings and threshing out the pro blems which confront the farmers, the new state federation considered a few of the marketing questions which are at the present time of vital interest to the producers of the state. The question of a cooperat ive association to handle the wheat crop was introduced early in the meeting and was discussed by lead ers of various farm organizations, delegates from wheat growing coun ties, representatives of the bureau of organization and markets and ex perts on cooperative marketing. At the opening of the meeting there were' indications of a difference of opinion upon the best plan for marketing wheat, but after a few hours of deliberations practically the entire group was in favor of the plan now being used by the Washing- To conroi. continue Making BETTER BUSINESS CONDITIONS NOW Fortland That the country has passed through its financial string ency and has long ago reached the point where it is certain there will be no panic and that the signs of the times in business circles through out the country point to better con ditions soon to make their appearance ,in the declaration of Frederick Green wood, manager of the Portland bank of Sail Francisco. A 'sound system, he says, has preserved the nation in the most serious situation for years. "The business and financial outlook is growing daily more encouraging," said Mr. Greenwood. "Leading bank ers and economists agree that the worst of the storm is over and that bright spots are appearing on the no- satisfactory that wv have long since passed the1 point where a panic was possible, and while the readjustment to lower price levels which business has been experiencing for the last six or eight months has been a somewhat painful process, it has not been accompanied by the acute and distressing- symptoms which we have experienced during similar readjustments in the past. The fact that the public generally realizes that we have a banking and financial system which is fundament ally sound and capable of standing the strain without breaking under it, is doubtless responsible for the absence of hysteria. "The greatest factor in bringing about the readjustment and conse quent deflation has been the attitude of the consuming public and not, as some would have us believe, a con certed movement on the part of the banks of the federal reserve board to force liquidation. A year ago the public was beginning to resent con tinued high prices and the reaction in the shape of curtailed purchases had the desired effect of bringing nrires down.

LITTLE. Corvallis The first drive for membership in the Benton County Farm bureau will begin January 31. This was decided upon at a confer ence attended by President George A. Mansfield of the State Farm bu reau. It is estimated that the ex pense of calling on every farmer in Benton county to join will be $1500 and this sum has been pledged by 31 farmers. The membership will be for life and will cost $10 a year, though a member may withdraw after the ex piration of one year. A speaking campaign will be begun and Presi dent Mansfield will give this his personal supervision. Similar mem bership drives are to be put on in other Oregon counties at an early date. motorists are permitted to attacn a wire from current taps on poles at convenient points throughout the city and heat their radiators while the car is left standing in cold weather.

"It is now felt that the bottom has been reached in most lines and an improvement from now o n is to be looked for. Stocks of high priced goods are being disposed of and are being replaced at lower values. The demand for goods is strengthening, mills are re-opening and within a few months things should be much nearer normal. It will take less money and credit to carry on the business of the country under the new level of prices. Already money is easier in some sec tions.

' It is significant to note that the offer ings of United States treasury cer tificates on January 15 were at a lower rate of interest than pre vious offerings, indicating the trend of the money market. "The banks of the country have been laboring under a heavy load and have stood the strain. Credit has i been available to meet the necessary J demands of business and industry, and with the cleaning up of stocks of merchandise and the moving of our crops to market, the wheels of business should soon be turning nor mally again. "Here in the northwest we have had ideal crop conditions this winter, and with the promise of a bounti ful crop next fall, we have a right ,to be optimistic as to the future.'

T. O. Edwards, auditor of the Southern Pacific company, Issues a word of warning to the thousands of employes on the Pacific system against putting their savings into purely speculative ventures. This warning was prompted by recent discovery that a number of employes had lost Liberty bond savings and other "nest eggs" through the misrepresentation of artful and un scrupulous promoters. "No matter how attractive the proposition may seem to lie on the surface, "says the Southern Pacific's financial authority, "employes be fore investing their savings should consult with some responsible banker in their community, who will gladly give them frank and unbiased advice, whether they are patrons of the bank or not. There are many opportunities for sound and profi table, Investments at the present time, but there are also attempts being made every day to defraud the public i and impose upon the credulous." Hoy Pan was lonesome, ao lonewme there were tears In his blue eyes nnd a choke In Ids throat. lut ho clutch ed his nls manfully In tils patched pockets nnd he tried to get up a real stride for the ruts of the froten road. There wiw a heap o' courage tucked away In Key Dun'a Uourt, and n heap o' fnlth. KetdiUn Hoy Iun was running: away from the homo with no mother In It, running away from tlu lonellneKH, to find a real mother and a real dad nod n house with a fireplace ami a kitten und a fishing rod ami a hnsehnll, all today, and tt dotf named Jlp.

And once lloy Dan had hud a little durk-sktunnd mother who loved film to ploees oiro minute and threw saucepans at him the next. Once sue had hit Hoy Pun m hard that the scar srtnyed on hi wrist. She hadn't lived very long, and all the women Hoy Dan's father had had to cook for him hadn't lieen nice or patient or neat. So. after a while, one luy, Hoy Pan's father had taken hliu to the htHM and he hadn't smiled when hu loft him. Hoy Ihin knew be was very Horry. That- wim years tmo. All that time, Hoy Iun had boon planning to run a way. Now ho was doing It. The day was lonesome Just gray clouds nnd a brown enrth, und hud dled plies of leaves. Only the little cedar lane looked cheerful. And rtx'ht In the sumo town, a little woman wuh lonesome, too; Miss Sarah tJruhum, who lived at the Cross IUmds In the lirawn cottage with the wowlMne ver It Ten years before Sarah had lost n dear friend. Tney were to have been married. But one evening the man had been late In coming to take her for their walk through Cedar Lane, and when he had come Miss Sarah had sent him away without meaning It at all. Just for the sake of hearing him refuse to go Then the marvel happened, as mar vels will come to pass. By Dan and Miss Sarah met right In front of the little town square, where the rows f cedars began to form (Vdur Lane. Miss Surah stopped and put her hand on the hoy's shoulder. "Son," said Miss Sarah. Then she flushed and wondered why she had said It. "Where are you going T" she asked. "Nowhere," said Hoy Dan, "Except to find a mother and " "Where do you live?" asked Miss Sarah. Boy Dun told her. and he told her he couldn't ntand it any longer with out mother. Suddenly Miss Sarah spoke. "I'll take you to my house, boy. I'll let the home know. We'll have our dinner to gether today." "The boy chuckled. "Might 'n well tell the home folks I've found a moth er, I guess, for keeps," he said. I like you. Guess I'll stay at your house all the time." lie hesitated. "Have you got a daddy?" "I live all alone," said Miss Sarah. "Would you be lonesome?" "Without a dad I would," Hy Pan told her. "Come on." "Now we'll ko find our daddy," said Hoy Pun with a sturdy purpose, drag ging his new-found mother toward the path of cedars and the little town square. Chill though It was, there were men lounging 'n the square, tanned men and untimned men, dark men and sandy men. And there was one man who began to look hard at the trudg ing boy. All lit once he hurried over from the bench and clutched liny Dun's, hand and L.olii'd quickly at U.f: Utile warred wrist. Then he knelt right down and hugged liny Dan close arid whispered Jerky things. "M' hoy, Pan. I couldn't git the counige ter go ter the home and not take yer along hack with me. The mini looked at Miss Surah, start ed to speak, leuned closer, thrust out a trembling hand. "This Is my new mother, dad," said Hoy Pan (irmly. "She's awful nice. Guess slm'n cold. She's slialiln.' (ilad yer come 'long. We'll be stiirtln' home all of us, now we've got together." Ho stopped. "Is there a fireplace nnd a kitten?" he asked. "Yes," said MIsm Sarah faintly. "May I come?" the rnnn asked. The last time Miss Sitnih had heard him speak he had said, "If you wend ino away I shall not come hack again." And here he was. Truly such ways are marvels. How had It all come to pass? Why, there was a heap o' courage In Hoy Pan's heart, and a heap o faith. And it was marvel day In the morn ing. The fire burned bright in Miss Sarah's kitchen and In the fireplace, and the man suld the dinner was the beKT-wiielllng one he'd ever waited for. Roy Pan? There was going to be a bnsehnll and a ttshlng rod and u dog named .Tip. Dad had said so, und he'd said something about a wedding, too. The lay wasn't lonesome any more, either.
