( Boston Branch' Will Handlft Co-Oper atives' ools Suitable of f Worsted Industry i (O'i'egonian) The raoidly increasing business if the Pacific Co-operative Wlol -G'jrf- ers has necessitated the opening of an office in Boston from which woola will be oftfered to the mills of the New England district. 'This will greatly increase our dis tribution in New England, particu larly of those wools suitable for the worsted industry," said R. A. Ward, manager of the Pacific Co-operative Wool Growers. "It is not unlilceiy that we will carry small stocks of wools in Boston, particularly those styl,e-3 for which the demand is par ticularly confined to the eastern sea board." The organization now represents over 2700 wool growers of Oregon, Idaho, Washing and California, who market their graded wools directly t omills In an orderly manner ana at their true market value. The Pacific Co-operative Wool Growers has also opened an office in the Santa Fe buildiitg, San Fran cisco, under tlie supervision oi w. P. Wing of the California Wool Growers' association. This office will serve tbe California members of the association. The main oftice of the Pacific Co-operative Wool Grow ers is in this city. The association's Boston wire on market conditions follows: "While the wool market ha3 re mained auiet through the week, pric es are firm in all lines. A hand-to- mouth policy in buying is being fol lowed by the manufacturers. How ever, they say that if one-third of a normal demand should aeveiop tne supplies of wool in this country would be about sufficient to meet the requirements. Low washed and scoured wools, both foreign and do mestic, continue to show a talr amount of business. Wool noils are moving freely, but the stocks are very limited in amount. Mohair is showing more actively for the past several days. "Contracting in the west and tne strong foreign markets have Keen the center of interest locally through the week. Buying in the west has eached a considerable volume. The average price paid thus far seems to be around 28 to 42 cents, with pos sibly some choice lots having moved at slightly higher price. Sales have been consumated in about all of the larger wool-growing states, such aB Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Texas, Utah, Nevada, California, Oregon and a few also in adjoining terri tory." RHODE ISLAND RED HATCHING EGGS Place your orders now for pure bred Rhode Island Red eggs for hatching. These eggs are from the famous Maguire strain and rank with the best in Oregon. Rather than see these eggs go on the mar ket for ordinary use, and to help im prove the poultry stock in Morrow county, we are selling them for hatching at the low price of 50 cents a dozen. CHAS. H.

You don't buy anything from me except - overalls for yourselves and Mother Hubbards for your wives. You don't buy any furniture except the cheapest. You don't buy kitchen utensils except tinware. The only way I can make any money is by buying up mortgages on your farms and foreclosing on you, but I don't want to make money that. way. I want to make money as a square merchant and I can't do it unless you fellows are making it." This wafi the opening talk at a big co-operative meeting in California by one of the big interests in Fresno, and then he told the growers if they would organize right and dig in to help themselves, he would put every dollar he had in the world behind them. The interests of the farmer, mer chant, banker, lawyer, teacher and worker are closely allied. When the producers are prosperous the other interests are certain to be, Oi;egon needs business men like this Fresno department store proprietor to walk into the co-operative movement and help put it across. 8 8 5 If all the cattle in Oregon were marketed through one big co-operative selling association, the stockmen would be placed on an even basis with the packers in the fixing of prices. This plan has been worked out with wonderful success in sorao of tbe middle west, states, and the official reports are on file In the state market agent's office. These stock growers operate their own stockyards. They control the stock all the way through. 8 8 8 The margin between the flour price and the bread price, for a bar rel of flour, has spread from $10.40 to $18.30, while the price of wheat to the grower is below the cost of production. The department of agri culture stales that a pound of bread that cost the consumer 5.'3 cents In 1913, in Minneapolis, now costs 9 cents, while flour which was $4.43 a barrel in 1913 is now $6.89 from the makers. 8 8 8 The Portland Chamber of Com merce has reversed its first decision and is now strongly backing the wheat export bill before congress and will send representatives to Washington to work for the law.

"I try to stay at home and look after my own affairs and dig a living out of the ground but these government offic.'als won't let me.

BAUMAN TAKES COUNT LEGIOX SMOKER DRAWS RECORD CROWD OP FANS Finch Wins Over Nordeen Followiaff Several Good and Snappy Preliminary Bouts Clarence Bauman, Heppner's fa vorite son in the boxing game, took the count last night at the Legioa.' smoker when Art Bibby, of Grass Vall,ey, floored the Heppner man -three times in the third round of a scheduled six-round match. Bauman was game to the last and kept com ing back for more as long as he was able to regain his f,eet, but the rangy boy from Sherman county was too much on the job for Bauman's ef forts to avail. The men had previously met in two matches, both of which went to a draw, and it is said both went In to last night's ev,ent with the fixed determination to either win or take a 'knockout. Frlendtf of Bauman sajr that he has lately been boxing with men so below his class that h,e haa lost some of his old-time punch and , it seemed lust night that, for som reason, he failed to show his usual form from the start. B. It. Finch, of Heppner, and KhI Nordeen, of Pendleton, put on an other lint battle of six two-minute rounds. While I he men were rather evenly matched, Finch showed tha best form all the way! through. Tha first, second, fourth and fifth were easily his rounds and the others wera not far from being ties. Finch won the match with some to spare.. "They'll quit calling him the littla school teacher now, I guess," re marked one Heppner fan at the end of the scrap. The show opened with Bob Alstote and Bob Burside, two local boys, act ing as curtain raisers. Both boys ara husky and went after it for all th era was in them, and while it was called a dray, Burside showed a shade bet ter training than his adversary. Brick Hall and Leonard Schwarta followed in a hot three-round fight in which Schwartz got the decision. Blackw.ell and Blahm, also local kids, followed In a three-time whirl in which Black well had tho best of it. A heavy swat on Blahm's neclc put -him to sleep-for tho oounti - Denipsey, of Boardman, and Wag ner, of Springfield, followed with three lively rounds which ended iu a. draw. , Then enme a challenge match be tween Francis Doherty and Uusaol Wright and the two kids were both, unquestionably out to win in four minute-and-a-half rounds. The judg es gave Wright the decision, but to many fans it looked like a draw. The crowd was the largest ever sepn at a similar event in Heppner. being estimated at close to 500, at least 25 per cent of whom were lad ies. The American Legion has made a record for Itself in this event and the members declare the standard will be kfpt up in the future. the recent Portland meeting of tha chamber and the wheat growers of eastorn Oregon, the bankers stated that many wheat growers have turned their ranches over to tlv mortgage companies; that they ara going deeper and deeper into dt and that unless some measures Ilka thd export bill gives them Bpeedy re lief, they will leave the farms in great numbers this summer and fall. 8 8 8 Minnesota is showing the nation what co-operation can do. The stata is leading all other states In the movement because those who under stand agriculture are directing it. Im its co-operative dairy work Minne sota is getting 12 cents per pound more for its butter fat than Nebraska. and 8 cents more than Wisconsin. North and South Dakota and Iowa. Of farm products it markets almost half the entire states production. and In live stock one-half of tha shipping Is handled through co-oper ative associations. Of 20,000 cars of live stock handled the averafia cost was a trifle more than $8 and the net average profit more than $4, against a handling cost of $16 thru commission men and a loss of $4 the difference between success and failure. What Minnesota is doing and ban done, Oregon can do, when the cat tle men, fruit men, dairy men and others will come to the one way ot thinking, unite solidly and put. thosa at the head who know the work. Tha leaders of the co-onerative work in Minnesota state that united acthm of farmers is the biggest factor tffl save the Industry of anything so far suggested that, the farmers must save themselves. TRAIN IAD OF MILK FOR NEAR EAST CHILDREN A carload of condensed milk Is bo- Ing assembled In Oregon and Wash ington to be sent to the children of the Near East. This car will bo joined by other cars collected on tha coast and In the Middle West and by the time these various cars havo reached Chicago It Is expected that at least one solid tralnload of milk: will be the tretlsult. Transportation :s furnished free by the various rail roads. "There is nothing so essen tial for our children In the Near East as milk," states J. J. Handsak r, Oregon Director, "and there ara more than 100,000 underfed or phans for whom this mllli Is belnff collected."
