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

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.

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

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. Producers, wholesalers

MARVEL DAY
By MYRTA A. 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.

but the ultimate consumer feels
he has been taking his loss during
the last two or three years of high
prices and that it is only fair that
the tables be turned.
"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. Call money in New York re
cently ruled as low as 4 percent. ' 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.'

EMPLOYES WARNED OF
UNSAFE INVESTMENT?
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. Thorn
was reason enough to Ktrldo ahead,
Indeed.
Oneo Hoy liu bud had a father
with smuly hair and uyea like hi, and
tuniuil fu.M nnd nice Und huridsi and
a smile. 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. The leaves had music In them
as they fluttered down to the welcom
ing earth, and the grayness hud a
pearl light In It that is as u halo.
It was marvel day In the morn Inst
