Mafc lr WETMAN-BRUTOlt COMPACT, 50 Vmcm W Kw Ya Cty Money Talks TO- Fruit Growers BY- Northwestern Fruit Exchange No. 13 Advertising Our Apples--' 4SkooRum" TO FRUIT GROWERS: Many and many a time I have heard and you too have heard criticisms coming from eastern people to this effect: "Oh, yes, you people in the Northwest can grow apples that are good to LOOK at but not to eat." Did you ever stop to analyze the WHY of this criticism? We have, and I am convinced that it arises from the fact that consumers are sold such apples as Gano, Arkansas Black or Ben Davis, in November, at which time we in the Northwest will admit that the apples MAY be "good to look at" but cer tainly "not good to eat." Now, our analysis should not stop here. If it does, it will probably result in con demning the retailers who sell to con sumers unfit varieties. Let's carry our analysis to its conclusion and inquire "Why does the retailer sell the wrong varieties at the'wrong time, and'whose fault is it that he does so?" In my judgment the answer is that the re tailer doesn't know any better Just remember, if you please, that a sur prising percentage of all the fruit that is retailed in this country, especially in the larger cities, is sold by foreign ers: Greeks, Italians, Russian Jews and others. Most of these vendors are ignorant ; many of them speak English very poorly if at all. Practically all of them are EAGER TO LEARN, but nobody bas taken the time or trouble to teach them. Very few of these men know one variety of apple from an other, though they are excellent judges of COLOR and APPEARANCE, and their experience has taught them that the average consumer knows even less than he does about QUALITY, CHAR ACTER or SEASON ABILITY of the different varieties. So, he continues to buy on appearance, and the consum er does likewise, with the result that the business of the apple growers of the Northwest is injured through cur tailment of consumption due primarily to IGNORANCE. This ignorance is by no means confined to the foreign elements in the trade; it is appalling to what extent it prevails amongst every branch of the trade ; even amongst the jobbers. Only a very few of the leading jobbers have any real understanding ot varieties, their treat ment in storage, which should be ship ped under refrigeration invariably and which may be shipped under ventila tion, which are useful as dessert fruit, which are best for baking, for pies, for sauce, etc. So, right down the line from iobber to consumer, and most of all, with the consumer the most important of all factors there is almost complete IGNORANCE on the subject of apples. How can we expect discriminating intelligence to be dis played under such circumstances? And now, my friends, WHOSE FAULT IS IT THAT THIS IGNORANCE PRE VAILS? Just face that question im partially, will you. Whose business is it to educate the trade and the con sumer as to the merits of -our mer chandise? Why, there can be only one answer : it is the business of the PRODUCERS of the merchandise, and nobody's else. Do you, perhaps, use IVORY SOAP in your home? Do you use it sometimes for cleansing laces and other delicate fabrics and for other special purposes? WHY? Be cause the retail grocer told you? Or because the manufacturers, through their advertising, have TAUGHT you the uses of their article? Just stop and think how many articles you use j in your homes and on the ranches that you are using intelligently because the MANUFACTURERS have themselves educated you to use them. This edu cation of yourself by the manufactur er's has cost them money, and a great deal of it, but every manufacturer rec ognizes the absolute necessity of spending money for this purpose. It is'nt the retailer's business to educate the consumer; it isn't the jobber's business to educate the retailer. It is their business to pass on the merchan dise from the PRODUCER to the CONSUMER. If then, you will admit that it is the business of PRODUCERS to educate the trade and the public concerning the merits and uses of their products, you will have gotten the viewpoint that will enable you to proceed to the ques tion of ways and means. Manifestly, apple growers throughout the country have not Deen equal to their opportuni ties. In the past few years the con sumption of bananas has grown from almost nothing to 125,000 carloads an nually in this country alone ; the con sumption of oranges exceeds 75,000 car loads. The consumer who eats for breakfast a banana, or an orange, doesn't as a rule, eat an apple too. So then, the battle is on for the coveted prize the consumer's appetite. While apple growers have been resting on their oars and following lines of least resistance, banana importers have built up a great, aggressive organization, and captured a large share of the pub lic appetite ; orange producers both in California and Florida have spent hun dreds of thousands of dollars in wooing the public favor. It is high time that apple growers were taking steps to ex ploit the merits and many uses of the King of Fruits. There is little doubt that nearly everybody connected with the industry in the Northwest, more or less clearly recognizes these princi ples, and for several years there has been a growing demand : "Our apples should be advertised." Meanwhile, ;the EXCHANGE, which believes that an ounce of DOING is worth a pound of TALKING, has, for FOUR YEARS been steadily, though CONSERVATIVELY and CAUTIOUS LY, exploring the advertising field, testing and experimenting, correcting here, improving there, and all the time MAKING THE WORK PAY FOR IT SELF AS IT WENT ALONG. And not only pay for itself, but pay a premium in addition. In my next article I am going to tell you how the SKOOKUM plan origin ated, and something of its results. Faithfully yours, W. F. GWIN.

COL TUCKER WRITES OF MANILA TRIP The letter following was written the editor of the Glacier by CoL W. F. T 1. - FT C A MiMt wki .tali Mrs. Tucker left El Corregidor, their Upper Valley home, on a trip to Ma nila, where CoL Tucker was formerly stationed as paymaster of the Islands Department oi me unitea states Armv. If word is to be mailed, 'tis time for me to begin, in order to be sure of the first mail from Honolulu I recall that I said from somewhere during our travel, I would write you letter. It may be because of our rather unusual trip that this prove to be of interest. We had a very pleasant trip from Portland to San Francisco via Flavel and the big steamer Northern Pacific.a very luxurious ship. For those who like the sea as we do this is a very good route. We had ten days in San Fran cisco, very pleasant in meeting with old friends, those in service and civil life. Sailed on December 5 at noon. With the exception of 17 days, have been aboard this transport, now our 42d day at sea. Am really sorry to realize the end of the trip is a matter of say 12 or 13 days more at sea. we had in the eight days en route to Honolulu, very rough weather ; for several days only the best of sailors were in evidence. Very fortunately I was ready for meals at all times a good test On board were many officers, their lamiiies and some civil officers bound for Oriental stations. Several officers I had not met in 10 to 20 years ; we had gone through our active service in the meantime. Needless to say there was much to talk over. December 13 we arrived off harbor at Honolulu and were at the dock by 8.30 p. m. We had only the 14th and until noon the 15th to see the sights and to meet as many friends as possible in this short time. In the ten years since my last visit there, Honolulu has more than kept up with the rapid growth and civic progress of the Orient, al ways indicative of prosperity. The auto has done wonders. Roads very Eerfect. Now the tourist can, in a rief time, see so much that is of in terest, that he has the desire for a longer visit. In fact, when we arrive in Honolulu on the 4th, if our mail tells us all is well at home, we shall try to arrange for a month there, or until the transport due March 4 sails for San Francisco. Our route to Guam (lat. 14 deg. N) usually takes 14 days. We arrived at the Island during the night of the 12th day, having been helpled along by a strong wind from the east. Our way was along the 20th degree of latitude on the edge of the tropical waters. The temperature of air and water taken each four hours would be very nearly equal ; the day 80 degrees, at night just right to sit out on deck. Ladies in their pretty gowns, men in white cotton or duck, the nights in tropical waters are very enjoyable. When one retires the windows and cabin doors are left open. Air is pure and delightful. During this part of the trip new faces began to appear fn deck to re ceive hearty greetings on their arrival on board (Poor People all this time were ill in their cabins.) We could get up a dance when the sea was quiet enough ; sometimes when it was not, much to the joy of the young folks who had a laugh at the confusion that would come with a big wave. If one can be content with fine rest, good people, cards, books, no worry and good feed, nothing to do,' ho duties of any kind, then a long voyage by sea is commended; for those who are poor sailors, 1 would say "No" unless there is something to compensate for dis comfort at the end of the voyage. Guam is an island we took in 1898. Now its best known use is for a cable station ; one line going to Manila, the other to Japan, both working to the east on one cable. A small harbor has been cut out of the coral shell and sand so one can come within two miles of the landing; small boats plying through the reefs that come to the surface all around. From the landing to the naval station some five miles we used to go in carts. Now 30 or more (not autoes) but something they call "Fords" with natives at the wheel, took us very quickly over good roads, through a jungle of tropical growth, a very interesting drive. Here Mrs. Tucker and I found friends of many years ago. Surgeon and Mrs. Peck, of the navy. At one o'clock we were entertained by the Governor Gen eral, Captain Smith, who also com mands the naval station. I had known him and Mrs. Smith years ago. Our eight hours ashore were very happily and profitably spent. At 4 p. m. the 27th of December we were on our way to Manila. Of course our Christmas was passed at sea. We had aboard some 400 men who were en route to their first stations. The good people aboard arranged with Santa Glaus to come in his submarine' and bring cheer from the realm of those good things we all have loved. Santa, true to his promise, arrived aboard af ter our dinner on the 24th, saying he had to come early because of so many other visits to make. He brought to each child, soldier and sailor, at least some candy or toy, and for the older ones a happy chat in verse. This has been my first voyage at sea when the wireless kept us in touch with land and the other ships. So one does not feel that he is out of touch with his people. We could be reached any day. Any trouble to our ship would be known in a brief time. One of the greatest of the many wonders of the electrical age. Our friends at Guam finding we were aboard, sent a radiogram to come right to them. The Governor General in same way invited some 30 of us to a formal luncheon, after which a naval band started the informal dance. My, how sweet the ladies looked in their tropical dresses We danced until 3 p. m., then hurried to catch the launch for the transport. Our voyage from Guam to Manila was pleasant. We arrived there ahead of time, being only five days en route. Manila has been so wonderfully im proved broad streets, a new and beautiful hotel and splendid auto ser vice. We found many old time friends there and our days were filled with visits and sight seeing. I made a for mal visit to the Governor General, Mr. Harrison, and found him interesting and cordial. On January 10th, I was invited to attend a formal dinner at the Palace, given in honor of Admiral Wnterhalter, who had just arrived in Manila Bay in command of the Asiatic fleet. The evening was a delightful one for me, as I met many of the dis tinguished officers of the army and navy, as well as many civil officials. We enioyed seeing Ft. Wm. McKinley, and the new Army and Navy club. The stay was all too brief, and it was with real sorrow that we bade fare well to Manila and old time friends. The Sheridar left the wharf amid showers of flowers, the band playing and the friends crowding the dock, waving their "bon voyage We arrived at Nagasaki, Japan, af ter a five-day trip. All were lined up for a long and careful inspection by Japanese doctors, for Japan has suf fered recently from cholera brought from some Asiatic . port. We were pronounced O. K. and went ashore. The stores are ever attractive there and we found the rickshaw riding quaint and good as ever. Nagasaki has gone down during the last 10 years : the old and comfortable Nagasaki hotel is closed, the stores complain of hard times and the people seem poor. Light snow had fallen on the heights and wintry chill hung over all. We are now only three days from Honolulu, and again the charm of th tropics pervades the air. Some excite ment prevails this a. m. ; a real Ger man stowaway has been found aboard, and 1 will tell you of this later. Saturday a. m., February 3, we passed Bird Island at 7.30 this a. m., the first of the group to see. We are now in mild weather, clear sky, un der very perfect conditions. We should arrive off the harbor of Honolulu very early in the morning. Word has come by wireless that 55 military passengers come aboard at Honolulu. As I am not traveling under orders our space is needed. We will therefore stay for the next transport, or a month. Mrs. Tucker joins in kind remembrance to friends. The stowaway was evidently a Ger man trying to get towards home. A hard road to travel just now. GRANGE AND CLUB COMMITTEE DISAGREES The unanimity of action that has characterized the deliberation of the joint legislative committee of the Hood River Commercial club and the Pomona Grange during the past sev eral weeks, when bills before the leg islature were under discussion, was brought to an end Thursday by the bill, which provides a bond issue of $6,000,000 for road construction, the bonds to be refunded by a special tax on automobiles. The Commercial Club committee for warded endorsements of the proposed measure, while the Grange committee adopted a resolution, urging that the legislature refer the bill to the people. Victor McCone, Portland socialist, addressed the Grangers of Hood River county assembled at the regular Po mona meeting at Pine Grove Wednes day, creating a hostility against the proposed road bond issue. Mr. Mc Cone asserted that the bill had been drawn at the instance of attorneys for organized road contracting interests. He made reference to California's huge bond of $33,000,000 for the con struction of roads and implied by his remarks that road contractors had car ried out of the neighboring state $28.- 000,000 of this sum. Although R. E. iscott, secretary of the Commercial club, who is also a granger, challenged mis statement, tne resolution or the rural body, asking for the referendum on the bill, was adopted following Mr. Mcune s address. Except for a talk by Rev. E. C. Newham, pastor of the Methodist church of Pine Grove, the road bond issue formed the sole torjic of discussion at the Commercial club's last 'legislative luncheon," held at the Hotel Oregon. Red hot debates took place between the representatives of the grange and the club. ihe fine Urove minister appeared before the legislative committee to raise his voice against war and to ask the committeemen to act in such wise as might prevent a spread of the con tagion of the war feeling. Rev. Mr. Newham denounced the trend toward universal training for America's young men, declaring that such a law would reduce to ineffectiveness the conscien tious views of many against participa tion in such service. He declared that the regulations in force at the Oregon Agricultural College, making compul sory military drill on all students in attendance at the institution was unjust. Severe Cold Quickly Cured "On December first 1 had a very se vere cold or attack of the grip as it may he, and waB nearly down sick in bed," writes O. J. Metesilf, Weatherby, Mo. "I b-iuglit two bottles of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and it was only a few days until I was completely restored to health. 1 hrmly believe that Chamber lain's Cough Remedy is one of the best medicines and will know what to do when I have anothei cold." Obtainable everywhere. Crause Heads Growers' Committee Members of the Dee and Parkdale granges have appointed a joint com mittee ,oi rruit growers, whose duty it will be to settle possible differences that may arise between growers and the fruit sales organizations with which they are affiliated. The com mittee is composed of the following: H. C. Crause, chairman, and H. H. Hann, of Parkdale, and J. R. Edgar, F. L. Park and W. F. Shannon, of Dee. "Too often," says Mr. Crause, who was in the city Friday, "growers are prone to withdraw irom their cooper ative organizations and thus create confusion before they know what their real grievances are. We hope to end such practice." The Best Recommendation The strongest recommendation any article may receive is a favorable word from the user. It is the recommenda tions of those who have used it that makes Chamberlain's Cough Remedy eo popular. Aire. Amanaua uiernart, Wavnesneld, Utiio, writes: "Chamber lain's Cough Remedy has been used in my family on and on for twen'v years and it has never failed to euro a cold or congh".
