DROPPING from 'big things to lit tle. "Ma" Kennedy says she Is through with men. : What she means Is that she Is i .,' through with men until another old fool comes along. IK THE year ending October 31, tbe California citrus Industry citrus fruits are oranges, lemons and grape fruit marketed 79,066 carloads of fruit. Tho total return was 79, 000,000, or approximately ai.OOO a ear. ' And this, remember. In a year when marketing of any farm product has been exceedingly difficult. HOW was this tremendous accom plishment made possible? ! There can be only one answer 1 by sound and Intelligent merchandis ing. Seventy-nine thousand carloads of fruit do not sell themselves. Good salesmen got out and sold them. T.ae California citrus fruit In dustry Is successful because It Is able to command tho services of good salesmen. T VERB Is a point' to remember: QUALITY Is stressed constant ly In tho marketing of California oranges snd lemons. No poor fruit Is ever permitted to go out under the well-known brands. If you have traveled through the orange and lemon groves at tho pick ing season, you have seen vast quan tities of Inferior fruit offered at roadside stands for those who wish to come and buy. The high quality product Is sent away, and that which la not up to Vie high standards set for market able fruit Is kept st homo and dis posed of In the best way that offers. THERB Is a lesson In this for us of Southern Oregon. If our out standing products of the soil are to bo sold successfully, at prices that will In normal times yield a living profit, we must see to It that our standards of quality remain high and rigid. 1 UST one other thought: ADVERTISING plays a big part In the marketing of the California citrus crops. Through advertising, people all over the world are made familiar with the excellence of Cali fornia oranges and lemons, and . the desire to buy them Is planted in people's minds. Selling Is the business of advertis ing, and In the case of the California citrus crops advertising has done a fine Job of selling. It will do a fine Job of selling for ANYONE who uses it right.

Smith, principal of the Med ford high school, said this afternoon that the Hood Rlver-Medford game Saturday, was not definitely off, and that the state high school board was In session this afternoon to arrange details, and "Iron out some of the bumps" resulting from the declaring of Tom Swanson of Hood River Ineli gible. He said the state board was en deavoring to adjust the matter as soon as possible, and an early decision was due. The latest development In the high school football situation came as a surprise to all Medford. PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 18. (P) Tom Swanson, Hood River high school fullback, was declared inelig ible, and all football games in which he played were declared forfeited, in a ruling today by the Oregon State High School Athletic association. The board of control Issued the following statement: That Thomas Swanson was now In his tenth semester in high school, wherefore we find: 1. That Thomas Swanson Is here by declared Ineligible for further competition In high school athletics. 2. That all athletic contests for the current school year In which Thomas Swanson participated, while representing Hood River high school, are hereby declared forfeited. I. That The Dalles -Hood River contest of November , 193a, Is de clared "no game.' Dalles Files Protest. -' The protest against the Hood River player was filed by The Dalles from where Swanson wz& transferred. The board ruled that Swanson has com pleted more terms In school than the rules permit. Hood River, however. Insisted that Swanson was played on the basis of records received from The Dalles. With today's ruling, Hood River's claim to the mythical state football championship vanished, as did con slderatton for a Thanksgiving day game with Jefferson high here. Locals In Title Piny. Medford high school now is expect ed to compete with the Jeff eleven on Multnomah field on Thanksgiv ing day. Evidence presented by Irving Wiley, The Dalles principal, showed that Swanson had registered at The Dalles for two semesters In 1026-27, and for one semester In 1929-30. He Is now in his seventh semester at Hood River. The board of control made It clear that It could offer no solution to the problem of selecting an opponent here for Jefferson on Thanksgiving day. That rests between the Portland in terscholastlo league, Medford and Hood River. Negotiations for the Thanksgiving day game here were "up in the air' again as a result of the board's nil lng. Hopkln Jenkins, principal of Jefferson high, host in the turkey day classic here, was called Into the conference at the Portland tiotel. He awaited word from Charles Fry, sec retary of tho Portland league, before onerlng an opinion. A Hood Rlver-Medford game now. It seems, would prove nothing.
