The Rtranger smiled a kindly smile,
1 thot, as we passed on our way.
My heart a greeting longed to speak;
But custom of cities said “Nay.”
Oh! why do women and men refrain
From the joy of a kind passing cheer?
When lonely, is there no right of speech
Between strangers in this world so queer?

Have you purchased your share of Red Cross

standidgas local sponsors for this movement to
minimize the ravages of the great white plague,
and ask you to stamp your Xmas gifts and greet­

and Christmasy in appearance, and their pur­
chase is certainly a gift to a good cause.
There are many factors in the
THE MARKET market problem: the land, the
PROBLEM. climate, the farmer, the pro­
duce, transportation, the
commission man, the wholesaler, the retailer,
and the consumer.
The average consumer, altho affected by all,
little concerns himself with any of these factors
except the retailer. The retailer likewise de­
pends almost solely upon the wholesaler for his
supplies. Now the wholesaler should buy direct
from the producer. However standing between
is a series of commission and middlemen, each
adding his percentage to the market price, and
each working the farmer for the lowest figure
possible.
There is only one possible means for the
farmer to receive his just share of the consum­
er’s price, and that is thru the means of co­
operative marketing associations that deal
directly with the retailer or the large, legitimate
wholesaler.
Many farmers kick at the local grocers for
their sending outside for articles that are pro­
duced at home. With some this criticism should
be driven home; but with the majority of local
retail grocers they are willing to buy from the
farmers, and do whenever they are assured of
prompt delivery and marketable quality.
Here, again, it is the farmers’ lack of organi­
zation that makes it difficult for the home re­
tailers to favor them as much as they would if
they could depend upon prompt delivery, suffi­
cient quantity and good graded quality. At
present many farmers endeavor to load off their
culls i n the home people and ship the premium
grades.
As a solution to all of these present troubles,
and in order to secure more profit for the
farmer, better service for the retailer and lower
prices for the consumer, we offer the suggestion
of a farmers’ co-operative market place and a
wholesale warehouse belonging to the producers,
where the products can be commercially graded,
and in which local merchants can dlace their
faith and receive good service. The American
farmer must adapt himself to the co-operative
idea, and wherever it is being practiced success
is the unanimous experience.

The prohibition forces in Ore-
OREGON IS gon after many lost battles and
GOING DRY but few encouraging skirmish­
es, have finally won the deci­
sive conflict; and now it is simply a matter of
time until the flaming sword of Old King Rum
will be struck from his hands, and the people of
this great progressive commonwealth will have
taken another step toward freedom and democ­
racy.
The women have been given the ballot. It
was commonly predicted that the women would
put Oreg n dry. They are going to make good.
You can say all you please; but most people like
to be with the winning side, and preachers,
papers, politicians and all are beginning to work
and talk for state wide prohibition. The educa­
tional work has been done. Now is the time to
act. and the people are acting.
The liquor interests are reverting to all the
underhanded means possible to postpone the
inevitable. We shall in all probability hear
more of personal liberty from them than even
in the past; but the society of today no longer
supports the personal liberty of exploitation of
others and that is evidently the only liberty in
which the liquor interests are concerned.
After succeeding in having the recent elec­
tions annulled, Salem holds a city electio last
Monday and increases the dry majority by 50
per cent.
In Portland Monday the different temperance
forces met and determined upon next year to
win the state. All forces will be put to play
from now on. It is with but little heart that
the most damnable “trsut” on the face of the
earth enters the battle. It must fight for it is
a struggle of life and death. It may last a few
more rounds, but the great referee of human
advancement stands ready to count the knock
out blow, from which there will be no comeback.
