Consumers, retailers and producers' organizations co-operating could shorten the long route; eliminate middle speculation and greatly reduce the between expenses. The success or failure of Oregon's organizations will depend alm ost en tirely on management. This is the most im portant p a rt of co-operation. It must be in competent hands. It must be business from s ta rt to finish. Friendships, favors, jobs m u s t have no p a rt in the organization. It m ust be handled as successful private o r ganizations a r e managed. Nearly ev ery co-operative failure in Oregon can be traced to poor m anagement. Men wlio know marketing, standardizing, grading. distribution must have charge; men who know how io hold down expenses, to reduce waste, to handle men. Kxperts in these lines must be found.

Under its present ownership it has nearly doubled its circulation. It is owned and published by two Portland men, J. E. Wheeler and L. R. Wheeler. Although these men are Repub licans they believe in keeping the news columns of the Telegram free and untrammeled for all shades of political belief. They are both active members of a Protestant church. The Telegram has interested it self primarily in the upbuilding of the Northwest. Editorially the Telegram is fear less and constructive, and has to a peculiar degree gained the con fidence of the whole community. From a news standpoint the paper is unexcelled in its service to the reader. “How I Cleared the Mill of Rats,” by J. Tucker, R. I. “As night watchman believe I have seen more rats than any man. Dogs wouldn’t dare go near them. Got a $1.25 package of RAT-SNAP, inside of 6 weeks cleared them all out. Killed them by the score every night. Guess the rest were scared away. I ’ll never be without RAT-SNAP.” Three sizes, 35c, 65c $1.25. Sold and guaranteed by the Estacada Pharmacy.
