The man who is in love with him self never has enough love to go around. Sudden wealth never yet made a man any less a fool than he was be fore he got it. A man will never find his right place in life if he thinks somebody else is In it. The man who Is always so sure that he know-9 a good thing when he sees It is often taken for one himself. No man ever gets to be so rich that he thinks he would be happier if he didn't have so much money. The man who can not handle today la no match for tomorrow.—Judge. Spokane, Wash. — W ith the form a tion here o f the Fruitgrow ers’ Agency, the problems affecting the profitable growing and m arketing o f fru it in the states o f Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana have practically been solved, according to participating gov ernment experts. Organization o f the agency was effected and articles o f incorporation prepared as the result o f an all-day conference between fruitgrow ers, rep resentatives of practically every selling agency in the Northwest, and experts from the department o f A g r i culture at Washington. According to an official statement issued by the government officials, the Fruitgrow ers’ Agency is: " A combined organization o f fru it growers and selling agencies governed by a board o f control divided equally between the producers and marketers. I t is the safety-first branch o f the fru it industry, involving the grow ers’ pro tection, assures an orderly control of upwards o f 75 per cent o f the fru it tonnage o f the Northwest, and embod ies the ideals sought for years by the growers in a mutual selling system wholly displacing destructive compe tition by formidable aggressiveness and the most up-to-date progressive measures. " I t provides for every necessity o f the grow er in assembling, advertising, marketing, opening new and widening markets throughout the world, and has as its basis the individual and collec tive requirements o f the grow er from the selling agencies through a uniform contract around which the entire struc ture o f the central protective body íb built.” “ The plan o f organization and pro cedure as adopted,” the statement says, “ was submitted by the depart ment o f Agriculture, follow in g exten sive investigation o f the grow ers’ needs by the government officials through their previous visits in the different Northwest sections. It is the most complete and advanced plan that has ever been prepared for the producers o f any perishable industry in the United States.” Oklahoma Legislators Riot.

The revised draft was received here late Wednesday night from Berlin. It was submitted to Secretary Lansing by Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador. Several other changes desired by the United States and described as be ing o f minor importance also are said to have been made. In one instance, i however, Germany is understood to have proposed a change in the lan guage suggested by the American gov- j eminent.
