J. Newhouse assistant general manager of the Oregon Growers' Cooperative association. "If it continues for any length of time, it will mean the cleaning up of Oregon's great tonnage now safely harvested. According to a published statement by a well known packer in the northwest, about sixty percent of this year's crop has been sold to date. "The selling of the relatively large tonnage still in the hands of growers and packers was beginning to be a problem. The complete cleanup of the crop at fair prices to the growers, under the present unsettled conditions in Europe, will be a great boon to the industry. "Published rumors to the effect that this buying flurry is caused by the Oregon Growers' Cooperative as sociation overselling from four to five million pounds is ridiculous to any one familiar with conditions. "While the very early estimates will not be realized, the wonderful drying and harvesting weather is saving every prune in Oregon, and in creasing numbers of growers report increased tonnage. "Not only has the association filled its large canned and green prune orders a hundred percent, but it cou:d not be oversold the amount published if it did not receive another dried prunes. "It's nine large packing plants are running night and day, and twelve additional warehouses already have had, to be rented to take care of the great tonnage. From all indications, the association will be in the market again later when its early orders have been taken care of. "The association is glad to see the firmer prune prices, not only because it facilitates deliveries but it' benefits the entire state and justifies the work of the association in .earljjr 'opening up I new markets for our large tonnage, ,( j "Carload sales have been madefy the association Th eightyne 'markets ' "This wide distribution is' one " ot 'the reasons for whatever, demand there is at the present iime.""

Then be sure to understand the true meaning of the School Monopoly Bill which is called on the ballet the Compulsory Education Bill. The reason that this name is misleading is because we already have compulsory educa tion under the present existing law, and we already have compulsory teaching in English in all schools. What this bill really proposes is to substitute state control over the education of your children for your control. The people of Michigan have already overwhelmingly defeated this measure, because it attacked the freedom of education. Protect your rights which are being endangered do not be misled by the name of this bill. Read the proposed bill carefully. Read the campaign literature. Find out the intent of the bill which is disguised by the title. You will find that that they propose school monoply. A hidden attack upon freedom of education. i 1 i.v- ,''" f .
