With a message of vital ipmortance to farmers, earnestly and entertaing- ly presented, George A. Manaf ield of Roseburg, president of the Oregon farm bureau, spoke to the Retail Mer chants' association following a 7 i o'clock dinner at the Hotel Beaver j Wednesday evening, and at 8 o'clock I that evening addressed an open meet- Wg in the city hall. Mr. Mansfield's mission is to get he farmers to urate in an effort to 'correct numerous existing evils in J order that the great farm industry may be placed on a business basis, j : With his "boyhood days spent on a farm, followed by a number of years of successful law practice, arid then later a farmer on an extensive scale in the Rogue River country, Mr. Mansfield acutely realizes the prob lems which are confronting the Amer ican farmer today. He not only realizes this condition, but he has the gift of portraying this to his hearers vividly and so convincingly that he leaves the fixed impression that the burden of the farmer is truly a great one. The farm bureau, is a national or ganization, divided into national, state and county units. It has a membership of approximately two milflioh farmers. It is without politi cal or religious tenets, designed purely to place the farming industry on a solid basis, by teaching the far mer how to prepare his products for the market, finding a market for the products at a reasonable profit, and then what is of still greater impor tance regulate production so that the supply will meet the demand, and eliminate the loss of millions which occurs yearly. Mr. Mansfield's portrayure of farm conditions as they exist today is not a very inviting one. He declares that the farmers have been compelled to hold what fs literally a bottomless sack in these readjustment times largely for the benefit of the specu lator, particularly is this true in, the west. If the great agricultural industry of the United States is to live it must be given nourishment. There must be a reduction in transportation charges, more transportation facili ties, and if necessary an impregnable wall around the United States which will make this country what the fore fathers intended it should be a land of homes for free white people. In touching upon the Willamette valley Mr. Mansfield declared-it to be a paradise, capable under the right treatment of supporting thjousanefs where it now has one. Mr. Mansfield held his audiences spellbound . in revealing farm condi tions as they exist today and in out lining the corrections which must be made if these United States are tc continue to prosper. This week has been devoted to a speaking campaign, in Polk county. Mr. Mansfield is scheduled to speak at the Grange hall in Monmouth on Saturday afternoon of this week and in the school house at Buena Vista Saturday evening. C. C. Painey another farm bureau speaker, will address the farmers in the Fairview school house on Friday evening of this week and at Valley View school on Saturday evening. PIGS ARE BARRED FROM INDEPENDENCE The city council is about to rein force a city ordinance which was sue pended during the war period. After November 15th, pigs will be barred from the city. Action was taken at a recent meet ing of the city council, and the ordi nance is to be rigidly enforced. GRANTS BUY TRUCK FOR. TRANSFER WORK W. G.

MJrs. Seggel and daughter iwent to McMinnville last Saturday. WASHINGTON MAN SUCCEEDS MAILLIE. IN PALACE SHOP B. E. Van Horn has acquired the one-half interest of W. R.
