the expansion movement of the Oregon
State Chamber of Commerce.
The State Chamber is making I
state wide appeal for a budget of $450,
000, covering a period of three years,
to carry on lta development work.
The movement has been endorsed by
more than two hundred leading men
throughout Oregon. Eighty community
executive committees have been organ

ber in the canvass throughout the state
which will be conducted during Jun
and July.

Famous Art Collection.
The unique collection of Chinese
works of art made by the late LI Hung
Chang, one-time viceroy of China
which for years collectors tried vainly
to acquire, has finally been bought by
a Swedish syndicate. The purchase
price Is understood to have been more
than a million krone (nominally about
iSSO.OOO). but the intrinsic value of
the collection Is Incalculable.
LI Hung Chang died in 1001. He
had a collection of works of art larg
er than anything of Its kind In the
empire. It included numerous old
paintings, bronzes- of great worth and
ancient ceramics. The bronzes date
from a time before Christ, and the
paintings were done from the tenth
to the twelfth centuries.

some of his personages were historic,

built ti e city of Van. much as Homer
describes I'ido building the city of
Carnage, has been found in the rec

of her day was overthrown by Cyrus
and his successors, and the land be

period of about a thousand years
when general Illiteracy obtained

this period practically no record sur

did the land, now influenced by Chris

CO-OPERATJVE BIAING SAVES
What does Oregon needT
What if It were possible to nun
the chief factor does it moat need In
order to develop with a maximum of
success '
The question Is Impossible to answer.
There Is no "chief factor." The solu
tion UeB not In one particular need,
bu'. many.
Oregon today, facing an era of de
velopment unparalleled In Its history,
must fill these needs if it expects to
go ahead.
Of the many facers that must be
employed if the stale is to progress
immigration and colonization, stand
pre-eminent In order to solve the vital
problem of land settlement.
Irrigation, reclamation of land and
drainage must be developed as another
method of bringing about the solution
of this problem. Farm labor must be
brought in. Homeseckers who in turn
become food producers, milst be en
couraged and made to see the possi
bilities that await them in the great
northwest.
Good roads must be built. As the
vast tracts of wilderness with thejr
billions cf feet of timber are concerted
into lumtxr. highways must be pro
vided over which commerce can be
carrhd and the scenic beauties of the
State view id by the tourist.
Among other needs are Industrial ei
pansion, railroad extension and water
power development.
Advertising and publicity must be
carried 'on if Oregon is to be made
known as a country for the honieseek
er where Opportunity beckons. Its
scenic beauties must be advertised to
attract the stream of golden dollars
from tourists and pleasure seekers.
Other stales, most of them with fewer
advantages to attract, are realizing mil
lions each year from tourists because
they realize the value of advertising
und making public what advantages
thi y possess.
Oregon must develop its water
transportation, its mineral lakes, iti
ports and reach out ror roreign traue
and it must develop the state to pro
duce the exports which are to go down
to the sea in ships. It must expand
its educational facilities as an addi
tional advantage to hold out to the
homeseeker with children to educate.
The Oregon State Chamber of Com
merce is the most logical agency to
carry on this development work simply
because a state organization of this
nature can work for the mutual good
of all communities in the state with
out favoring any particular one.

A system of county fanners' ex

has been developed In Iowa during the
pant year, forces of the state agricul
tural college and of the United States
department of agriculture working in
co-operution. One of the prihicipul ac
tivities of the exchange is in the dis
tribution of purebred live stock. The
breeders, send a list of the animals
they have for sale to the ofllce of the
county agricultural agent He makes
np lists of these animals and distrib
utes them throughout the county, fre
juently advertising in the local pa
pers. If any uniinuls are not disposed
it In the county, a list of them is sent
lo the extension department of the
Uate agricultural college, where lists
are made up for the entire state and
ent to every county and to adjoining
tates. In this way many farmers who
otherwise would not have the oppor
tunity of locating purebred sires are
stile to get exactly what they want
Through the exchanges many curbada

Instance Cited In Action of Florida
Farmers Clubbing Together to
Buy Poison.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
An instance of the value of co-oper-tive
buying is found In the recent ac
tion of a group of farmers in Orange
ennntv Florida, who combined their
orders for carbon hisulptild and placed
them through their county agent. Ihe
purchase totaled 1,000 pounds and the
material was secured at a saving of
38 cents a pound under the price that
would have been charged lor individ
ual purchases In small quantities, so
that the deal represented a saving of
$380 to these farmers. This carbon
blsulphid will be used In fumigating
the corn to kill corn weevils. Losses
from this source sometimes are as
much as 20 per cent. The farmers
who are clannlng to fumigate their
corn either have remodeled their old
cribs to make them airtight or haye
built new ones.

Motor Accessibility
Accessibility is a prime requisite for the
successful maintenance of a motor truck at
minimum expense.
You will find MACK trucks incorporate
more advanced principles of development
toward the accomplishment of accessibility
than can be claimed for other makes of
trucks. This is the result of MACK engin
eering and twenty-four years of building
and perfecting motor trucks.
MACK trucks are built in two types.
The models under 3 tons' capacity are
known as AB; those over as AC. The mo
tors are identical except as to size.
Examine these features of accesibility:
Ports in the side of the crankcase, removed
by a thumbscrew, permit inspection of the
shafts; Pistons and Connecting rods may
be withdrawn from the front; the Magneto
and Pump are located in front of the en
gine. The AB power plant, including engine,
clutch, transmission and instrument board
may be removed as a unit. The AC engine
may be slid out the front by removing the
bumper.
