ROME RIVER VALLEY ORCHARD NOTES II V CIIAItLKH MEHERVE Seoretary Grants Paas Fruit Orowere Asaoolatlort Annual Meeting Trull Orowere. The annual meeting of the Grants Pass Fro it Growers aaeociation will be held at the Court Hoose in Grant Pans on Saturday, Jane 6. The fore ooon sets I on will conveoe at 10:30 sharp, and thia period will b devot ed to election of offlcera and the clos ing np of the boslnea for the past year and to considering a number of matters pertaining to the business of the Anoclation for the aoming year. Among these will be that of deciding on the design of a label for fro it boxes and of pltolng an order for labels. Aa to whether to adont the Hood River special size box for packing 8-tier Spitz-nborg and other large apples will be considered. The adoption of more tringent rules for picking grad lng and packliig will be aotd npon. Tbe afternoon session will convene at 1 :80 sham, and will he devoted to a geneial discussion of problems per taining to the fruit Industry. Among the questions considered will be the Droning of yonng trees aod the control of tbe borers, eradicating tbe green and.black aphis and the spraying or codlin moth. Tbe thinning of fro it will also be considered. Both tbe forenoon aod afternoon sessions are ooeo to the poblio and it Is e i pec ted that all will attend who are interested in tbe development of the fruit indostry in Josephine county. In no line of industry does experience cost ao much aa in froit arowina and the grower who attempts to learn through his own efforts or to bliudly blonder aloug will pay dearly in waited effort, loss of money and of time. It ia at the froit growers meeting that the alert, progressive orcbardlat gains tbe knowledge that will enable him to avoid the mist ikes and loiRes of other orohardista and to learn how to profit bv the success of other. And there ia no class more tree to tell of their cucceises and failures than are froit growers and to give a helping band to the beginner in tbe indostry. JOSEPHINE COUNTY I GRANGE DEPARTMENT K4IUS Bf MR. H. . riKHAM R. K. U. K.. t, ta wk ill roar naslntlaai for tkli d.ptrf tut tkMlS b adSniMd. r AAAAAAAAAAA A GK. RANTS PASS Commercial Club Mls Ada Morrison, lecturer Dlmlck Orange: How I regard the Granges and why I like to aee thla Grange Extension work go on. Sjcailly. We are by nature, fitted for society. Dy thia we mean that we are naturally disposed to associate with one another. How narrow and bigoted we woold be if we bottled ourselves up and did not mingle with our fellow creatures. Bo to be in a good healthy condition, mentally, this aasociatien ia neceasary. The Grange meets thia need. It brings to gether those whose thoughts run In the same channel and a motoal syaapathy exiata bv reason of oor chosen vocation. Each is interested in working with nature, the develop ing of the country, and the bettering of the condition of the home and ao are never at a loss to find something to talk about Education. Never was it proven more plainly that "Knowledge is power than we are forced to realize at the present time. Education is the "Keystoue of the arch" ou which oor order testa. Of all the ancient build, logs to be seen today, thoaa of Rome are the most interesting. There the base is often the most expensive part of the edifice, because everything that endures most have a solid foundation. All the professionals and those who wish to follow a trade understand this. Woold you be willing to patronize even a barber who haa not given his chosen work some apeotal study? And yet we see on every side those who style themselves "farmers" who do not kuow how to properly do their work to got best results. The farmer mut have a wide aud vailed knowledge. Reside the school aud general education, he uiuut study not only animal life but plant life,. seed gnrmiuation aud their friend' and their foes, the elements of the soil for each variety of plant, and if lacking what fertilization to aiipply to change the result from the debit to the credit aide of the ledger. These are only a few of what might be said of the preliminary preparation of the suo oeanful farmer, while the professionals and those who wish to follow a trade have oulv one line lo follow. Sisters, wives aud housekeepers, are we not thaukful that the last 50 years have wrooght many ohangea to lighten our labor and lift oor burden of caret And are we not willing to fall in the progressive prooeaniou? Not only do we owe it as a duty to oorselvea but to oor children, who look to as as an example not ouy morally, hot uieutally. Are we not willing to give them the legacy of parental progression? A noted writer once said he would rather his children would drink from a ruumug stream thau a stagnant pool Using a bor rowed quotation "There are four clasaeer of people: those who do not kuow and who do not care to know, shon them. Those who do not know bot who would like to kuow, help them. Those who know but do not know what they do know wake, them. Those who kuow,' and know what they do kuow, be with them." The Grange has uo use for the first version and this oor grange work. role holds good in Soffice it to say that it ia the aim of evry grange and trne granger to do away with the credit and commodity system and substitute a cash basis, that prosperity may be universal, not only for the dealer but for the producer as well. Boaineaa. (generally) To enable me to be better understood I'll illus trate by example. The Cyphers Incu bator Co., Oakland, Cal. is authority for the following freight rates: Freight on 1st class matter from Oakland, Cal., to Portland, Oregon, 61 cents per 100 pounds. From Oak land, Cal., to Ashland, Ore, 11. A3 per 100 pounds. From Oakland to Lewis ton, Idaho, ft. 80. From a personal knowledge the freight from Grants Pass to Portland ia ft. 70 per 100. No one could help bot aee tbla ia in jutire. Tbe poet ha aaid : " For every evil oodur the aun, There ia a remedy or there is none, If there ia one try and find It , If there isn't, never mind it." Have we no redress? Where is oor Interstate commerce oommissirn? Are they Head, or asleep to the duty of the office they swore faithfully to per form? Or la there aome law that conflicts with thia thereby paralyzing their efforts In our behalf? Farmers, we are all seriously effected by this in justice. Shall we sit supinely down by oor own individual self and suck oor thumb, or trust to prayer, pat ting forth no effort ourselves to recti fy existing wrong? When the "Last Great Day" shall come aod the Lord divides his aheep from the goats, we feel qoita aore In our own minds that fiey will pans through the gate over which hangs the sign "Sins of Commission." But we better not be too sore we will not march io the pro cession that carries the banner "Sin of Omission. " But what can we do singly? Nothing. But to unite our efforts there is strength. This was proven by the Unitexl Colonies when the yoke of Great Britain was a bar rier to their happiness and properl y. They suited their efforts and fought for right, houor aud justice aud won, aod we, their descendants are enjoy ing thair reward. Yes let the farmers unite aod let Trust meet Trust. Ia a personal letter of recent date from Sister Mary S. Howard, secretary of the state Grauge, she says: "Oregon now has 131 good active granges with a total membership of 7100 members. By putting our efforts witk'this num ber is it not possible for something to be accomplished and our strength be f.lt aud recognized? Caution. Aa the Grange is for the farmer exclusively, let me call your atteutioo lo one part io our Declara tion of Purposes. Mauv are excluded by the nature of oor organization, not because they are profesiooal men or artisans, or laborers, but because . ,iey have not a sufficient interest in till ing the soil, or may have, some in terest iu conflict with onr purposes. Tsiog the words of our Worthy State Overseer, aod if his face is the index of his life, we should consider it a privilege to say Brother Shaw, he says: "There are maov applications Will furnish information of Jonephiue couuly free of charge.

Concloaion. In conclusion lei me l. - V. say, that I aee no reason wuj grange will not meet yoor oesire socially and if it does not help yoo to climb the ladder of knowledge throngn yonr association with your fellow tillers of th eoil, ably assisted by the instroctors sent oat by the State Grange then yours ia certainly a piti able case. Cao yoo be satisHied with exiHtins business conditions; for I might have called yoor attention to j many more examples which need our atteution and co-operation, soch as: 1st. Caotes which led to business holdings last fall. 21 Laud grafts and money grafts. Sd. Weakness in the enforcement of the law governiog the spraying of fruit trees. 4. Detract ion of the Canada thistle aud other noxious weeds. 6. Honting and fishing out of sea son and without license. Dumping garbge, carion and other refuse along the publio highways or i in running streams. j 7. Bad roads. 8. Sueedv traniDOftationoffro.it and! a hundred and ooe more things that might be snoken of. Are yoo aware of the fact that the grange is regponisble for the Rural Mil Delivery? That it is working Underwood Standard Typewriter for the extension of the Parcel Post and the establishment of the Postal Savings Bank. That it secured a re moval of tax from Industrial alcohol. That throogh the initiative that corporation with bat little tangible property, have to paya tax on their gross earnings. I'd like to go farther, bat time forbids.

Born and Made on the pacific Coast reared here it needs to become neither acclimated nor adjusted to the peculiar Loast requirements. The character of the roads and the climatic conditions on the Pacific Coast are so radically different from those prevailing elsewhere that no car other than one built here with the sole idea of meeting these local peculi arities could have made the wonderful record of vic tories in track races, hill climbs, endurance runs and economy tests won by THE TOURIST in the past year. These victories, while demonstrating the superior worth of THE TOURIST under severe strain, prove also its unique value to the automobilist who demands a car that will "get there" with dispatch, comfort, and economy.
