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.

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

TO CATAFRH SUFFERERS
Good Advice and Liberal Offer
From Well Known Grants
Paas Druggist.
Demaray has been advising all who
suffer from any of the symptoms of
catarrh, soch as offensivebreath, dry
ness of the nose, pain across the eyes.
stoppage of the nose, discharges and
droppings in the throat, coughing
spasms and general weakness and de
bility, to use Hyoiuei. He goes so far
as to offer to refund the money to any
nser of Hyomei who ia not perfectly
satisfied with the results.
Quick relief follows the use of the
Hyomei treatment; the stoppage of
the nose is removed, the '.dropping
ceases, the breath becomes pore and
sweet, and the catarrhal germs are
destroyed and their growth prevnted.
Hyomei is the surest, simplest, quick
set, easiest and cheapest way to oore
catarrh. It does not drag and derange
the stomach ; it goes right to the seat
of the trouble, dest roving the catarrh
al germs and healing and vitalizing
the tissues.
Go to Demaray today and buy a
complete Hyomei outfit for fl with
the understanding that if it does not
give satisfaction, your tnouey will be
refunded. 5 15-2t

The one car best adapted
to Pacific Coast roads and
conditions. 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.

type car that won the almost unbroken chain of vic

wonderful car, and no one interested in automobilinf
should fail to investigate it The makers think well
enough of it to guarantee it for a year. See the Model
"K" and other models of Tourist Cars, and ask for the
