TOINCREASE
. OF FRUIT BUSINESS
PROFITS
A .method by which tho fruit Rrow.
cr of. tho ItoRuo nivcr vnlloy mtiy
)nato 100 vcr cent more profit was
outlined by Hon. W. A. Pntilhnmua
of IMtynllup, Washington nt tho Nntn
torlum Wednesday afternoon.
Tho method In Tirlof la for tho
grower to pay qunrtr of cent ft
box for tho maintenance of a growers
council which In turn will so organ
ize tho orchard production of tho
northwest that prices may ho main
tained throughout tho country. Tho
Bpeakor said that with such an or
ganization ho believed tho grower
would receive 25 cents moro per box
oven undor present conditions.
There Is no attempt to dtctata as
to what organisation tho local grow
er shall ship through, tho only re
quirement is that every member of
tho organlratlnn sign an agreement
that ho will not ship through any
soiling agency not subject to tho dir
ection of tho shippers council.
"Thore aro from five to seven hun
dred different sellers" said the
speaker." far too many, but wo must
go slow. If wo tried to weed out tho
bad ones wo would atl be dead before
an) thing could bo accomplished. Wo
must tako conditions as they aro and
try to Improve them slowly, growing
to tho ideal condition by degrees."
Cut Out Contffrnmcnt
"Our principal desire at present Is
to cut out tho consignment business.
No member of the council can sell
on consignment and no sane person
should want to sell on consignment
Wo havo no objection to cash sales,
though If everyone sold independ
ently there would bo too much book'
keeping."
"AH o will, try. to.tlo now will bo
to keep books with 'tho Foiling agen
cies, know over)' day what fruit is
coin, where Wid for Vhavprlco and
BRONZES

price
what
!ollovc wo can maintain the
and eventually dlciato as to
tho prlco shall bo."
"Tho mombors of tho cxecutlvo
committee, Mr. Haskell, Mr. Duller
and myself will call in tho selling
representatives and talk,otcr with
them what they consider proper pri
ces for the year, for 8pitz, Yellow
Now towns, Comlco pears, etc., etc
and then after considering every con
dition wo will tell' them our price.
Wo may havo to lower that prlco if
wo find we were mistaken. Wo have
no dcslro to treat the selling agen
cies unfairly. Our purpose Is to co
operate with them to our mutual
benefit. The only way wo can stabil
ize tho market is through organiza
tion and co-operation."
Mr. I'aulhamus then showed tho
result of tho samo principles applied
in tho canning business in I'uyallup
whero bo said many years ago they
considered S00 crates of raspberries
glutting tho market. Thoy found
later that with organization they
could sell a hundred times as many
crates at 30 per cent higher prices.
Tho sumo result would follow In any
lino of business whero business prin
ciples wcro adopted, ho maintained.
Help l'coplo Already Hero
Regarding tho local condition In
gonor.il Mr. Paulhamus said if Med
ford would pay less attention to liter
ature for securing now settlors and
moro attention to helping tho Bottlers
hero mako a living tho country
would bo vastly Improved. Get your
commercial club to get behind your
local Industries. Hero Is tho apple
juico factory for examplo, boost it,
help it and you will soon havo a
most vnluablo industry horo. Mako
local business profitable and your
r.rowth in- population will follow ns a
matter of course
"You havo spent much llroo upon
tho proper methods of growing fruit,
Bpraylng, smudging, pruning, ec, etc,
Theso aro nil important, of course,
but what good does It do you to raise
tho host pear In tho world it you
can't get a profit on It. From my
experience I should Eay that growing
tho fruit was about 25 per cont of
tho business and soiling it about 75
lor cent. You need first of all cap
able nnd aggresslvo kailorshlp and
organization. With these two factors
there Is no reason why tho fruit bus
iness can not bo made as profitable
kb any other business."
Mr, Paulhamus was Introduced by
W. A. Wostorlund and his talk was
forcoful, direct and full of practical
common sense. At the conclusion of
tho meeting a large numbor of
growers joined the council and tho
applause was most enthusiastic when
the speaker took his seat.
(.Knim the Sim I'i iuumm Cnll.l
While milium thundered fifty miles
from 1'nrN. I. l.uie Fuller, fnmniK
dancer, with nun' her woman mul two
men, worked in ii little nit foumler'n
shop in the Krenrli i-upilnl in the jjliu
of n crucible where seethed molten
meinl wrested from the nnge tw
of war to pivc permanence to thir
teen wonderful hits of MMilplnrc, the
work of Arthur I'utnmu, Sun Krnti
cico sculptor.
How Ln Loie intrepidly entered tho
war rone with the precious plaster
models, iimpiied by detemiinntion
to have exhibited nt the expoi ion the
work of a sculptor she considers the
equal in ninny respects lo Itodin, is u
hlory of compelling niiniiiioo.
llrnm-s nt Ko,UJtin
The thirteen bronzes nro at the e
K)Mtioii and will noon lie unpacked
nnd plnccd in the palace of fine arts.
Hut for In Loie's courage and indom
itable stunt, nnd tho generosity of
Mrs. A. H. Spreekels, these exquisite
works of genius might still he repos
inc in fragile ihv'cr in Put mint's
studio nt the beach here.
The story Hind its beginning in
Paris Inst July. Ln Loie, who has
lived for twenty-two years in that
qity nnd is of the inner circle of Par
isian artists, went with Mrs. Sprook
cls to the home of Francis Auhiirtiu,
tho man whose word is the ultimate
law in the judgment of works of nrt
presented for exhibit ion in the Pnris
salons.
Putnam's Work HoMii-rected
A salon was then in preparation.
On a mantel Mrs. Sprcckcls recogniz
ed n small bronze punin as the work
of Putnam. Auhiirtiu imd gien it
only cnsunl notice, but with his nt
icntion drawn ho quickly recognizid
its high merit
It was prominently placed in tho
union, nnd as n result Putnam ws
within n few otcs of being admitted
to the circle of artists which had re
fused to admit Rodin to its cxclusite
confines.
Lu,Loio came to San Francisco last
August nnd immediately besought
Mrs. Sprcckcls to take her to sec the
sculptor. At Putnam's studio hn
suw'irioittWrtTerfiiniltle figures, but
nil in plaster. I'ntthu-iuti'c, she went
to J. I). Trttsk, chief of tho fine arts
department of the oxMsition. Trnsk
shared her enthusiasm oxer Putnam's
work, but said it could not be plnccd
in the palace of fine arts unless done
into bronze.
Platters in 1-Yagmcnts
A few weeks later found La Loie on
the Atlantic with three boxes contain
ing thirteen precious plaster figures.
The art foundries of America were
too busy with cxmition sculpture to
handle tho work.
In Loudon she left the lioxw while
she went nbcad to Pnris to rccomioi
tcr the situation. There sho finally
induced an art founder to undertake
the work.
Two men were sent to Iondou t
bring the boxes

DEFICIENCY FOR' "
SEASON IN RAIN
TOTALS 11.51 IN.
Tho weather icpoil lor tho month
filed today shows that .81) of an inch
of ruin I'eil dining March, making tho
seasonal shoiliiuo 1 l.fH inches and
tho 'monthly shoitago 1.51 Inches.
During the lalns of llie past week,
.I.Vineh fell. Thu 'heaviest. lull was
hw Sunday, when .'.'S-ini'li fell. On
Monday .011 of mi inch fell, Tuesday
0.r and Wednesday ."8. The pi'cdio-
tioicis for more rain, the air being
warm and balmy. Last Muich !-
inch fell. The uteiaue is 'J.I inches.
The highest temperature for lh
mouth was 811 dcgices on Mutch 'J'J,
mul the lowest tempeiatuie Mm eh H
ut 'J(l devices. Theie were 111 clear
dnjs and III cloudy, with fiui days
paitly cloudy. The gieatest daily
rnngi' in temperature vu'ns .H degrees.
Dining the month theie weie no
unusual phenomena, the most striking
fcatuie being a brilliant double rainbow-
on the .'Kith.
The rcpoit follews:
ened the brute little dancer was
crushed. Ktery one of the little pins
ter poems was in fragments. Hut
their beau'y was apparent eten then,
nnd the founder declared that he
would fit the pieces together nnd
mako the hronrcs.
Jlrtnl lllg Problem
Then nnothcr difficulty nrose.
Where to get the tuo'nl French gov
ernment official m charge of the
metal supply ttce senndalied when
it was proposed to take the material
so neeessnry in "war and dctote it to
making little statues. a Loie in
sisted and it was arranged.
ritunately the bronzes were cast,
although thoyfounder was culled to
tho front before the end of tho tnsk
nnd the work bad to bo finished b
his wife nnd a mnii helper.
Dikmmn ngnin confronted La Loie.
To finish ami polish the bronzes
properly would take more than n i'ar
of one man's time. There were
twenty-six of the figuies, duplicates
having been made. She went to the
man who does the finishing for lto-
din, showed him Putnam's work and '
induced him to gtrhur hi forces nnd
go to work upon the sit of bronzes.
In three months the work wa fin-,
ished. i
Safely Aiross Channel
Getting out of France with the
bronzes was another problem mul La I
Loie i reticent on this (mint. Hut it
is known that a French gunboat left j
Hat re and went to Southampton. She!
appeared in Loudon u few hours later
with one set of the bronze ndn n set
of Itodin she bad been commissioned
When thev were op-lo buy fur Mrs. Sprcckcls, together I
with nulographed works of French
artists and writers which she was
bringing to America to dispose of for
the benefit of the widows and orph
ans of ai lists who fall nt the front.
.Meanwhile Putnam had been anx
iously inquiring of Mrs. Sprcckcls re
garding tho fate of La Loie and bis
helot ed plaster models. One day in
tho latter part of February, nearly
five mouths after the dancer had left
here on her mission, word was receiv
ed that she was again safely on board
a steamer at Liverpool wi h the thir
teen statues in 'bronze. ' ... ,
