H. Lea, who tendered his resigna
tion as secretary of the Oregon State
fair board and general manager of
Western Wool & Warehouse Co., has
been appointed manager of the grow
ers' association.
Under the plans of the new organ
ization uniform selling and uniform
marketing will be features. Members
of the organization will turn over all
marketable wheat and the association
will advance from 60 to 70 per cent
of the market value to the wdieat
owmer at that time. The remainder
will be paid when the sales have been
completed.
. Among the savings which are ex
pected to be effected through the
plan will be a considerable portion of
handling charges, the cost of main
taining various buying offices in many
of the wheat centers as well as sav
ings in freight charges, which are in
curred at present, because of the
lack in system in the sale of wheat.
Edgar L. Ludwick, organization di
rector, with headquarters in The
Dalles, stated yesterday that during
the first year it is expected that
hundreds of thousands of dollars
would be saved in buying costs alone.
The organization now has a menir
bershlp of 1900 men, all of whom are
wheat growers located in practically
every wheat-growing county of the
state.
An arrangement has been made be
tween the co-operative wheat organ
izations of the northwest states
whereby many of the sales will be
made through the northwest sales
agency. This agency is simply a clear
ing house for the various co-operative
organizations.
The executive committee of
the
Oregon organization, a movement
to break down the differential in
freight rates on wheat which exists
between Chicago and Portland. This
differential is costing the wheat
growers of the state a large sum of
phoney, it is said and is hampering
sales.

WASHINGTON D. C, July 22.
(Special.) When the United States
and Germany evolve a treaty there
may be a clause in that document
which will mean that Grover Cleve-
land Bergdoll, rich deserter and
draft evader will have to stand trial
on American soil for his crime. Steps
are now being tken to insure in any
treaty negotiated with Germany just
such a provision.
As the house committee on the
Bergdoll case gets deeper and deeper
into the real facts of the defiance of
the law of the United States by the
Bergdoll family members of the com
mittee are more and more determin
ed that Grover Bergdoll cball

the United States arm has the same

By all odds it is the most notorious
case in the country growing out of
ttho war and in some ways is inter
nationally the cause celebre..
Congressman C. N. McArthur, one
of the members of the sub-'
now inuuiring into the various rami
fications of the Bergdoit raniily, has
reached a decision to place befoie
President Harding and Secretary of
State Hughes the desirability of t!,.
