Sorry for John D. Rockefeller.

oOAAy AOA JOuN II. NOChelell6I.
81 have been listening to speeches
here carefully and the more 1 heard of
the speeches the sorrier | felt for the
l~nillionaires. Thank God, I am not one
any more!
Il heard the senator from Arkansas
(Mr. Davis the other day make a speech
in which he abused Rockefeller. If there
sorry for, it is Rockefeller. [ cannot
help sympathizing with a fellow that ev-
erybody is cussing, and | never could
see what they cussed him for unless for
having more money than anybody else,
and l do not hin that is any fault, but
is a misfortune.
Il am sorry for a man in his condi-
tlon-when a man cannot 60 out in the
street and have even his little grand
children walk in sight of him without
threats that they will kill his little
babes-I know the old fellow loves those
children better than all the gold in his
vaults and he would not be a human be-
ing if he did not.
Thinks John D. Is A Good Man.
Il am going to say something that is
unpopular in my section of the country,
and if | We're ore of the office-seekers
might be tempted to do wrong, but I al.
ways did say before my people what ]
thought was right. I think that Mr..
Rockefeller is a good man and I am
going to think. SO until somebody shows
me that he has done wrong. I see his
employees often and 1 never saw one who
did not speak we'll of him. l am told
that he never had a strike among his
employees.
Il am told another thing, that he has
given more millions-I do not think
much of him for that, because he had
more than he had any use for-but he
has given some Of them to the poor, to
charity, to the churches, and to educa.
ton, and to build hospitals all over the
country where they are needed for his
employees, and when they are sick they
go there and are cared for. If anybody in
the United States does not like that let
them put it in their pipes and smoke it
l have said it.
Would Welcome Old Pipe Lines.
IF my old friend from Arkansas is op
posed to what 7 call prosperity, / would
like for Mr.. Rockefeller to come dowr
and run his pipes through Mississippi

Harvard Honors Burr.

Il was, indeed. a most commendable
decision Of the Harvard Varsity Club TO
name the new training house for Grim
son athletes after Francis II. Burr, cap
tain Of the 1903 football eleven.
There have been men who have left
greater regulations as players on the
gridiron. but it is doubtful II there has
ever come OUT OF the Cambridge fnStf-
tuition a leader who was the peer of the
grand athlete who died but few weeks
ago.
Burr was a captain in the best sense
OF the word, and when, IN his senior
year and his last chance to perform for
his university. ne volur tarily withdrew
from the lineup, because, an his opin-
ion. there was another in better condfi-
ton, he performed a deed of devotion
that has few parallels in the history of
Harvard athletics That his team with
him on the sidslines, won from Tale for
the first time IN seven years was but

fondest desires in order that his college

White River Valley Berry
Growers Meet.

The most successful growers meet
ing ever held in the White River Valley
was held in The Ranch office last
Saturday. President Paulhamus of
the Puyallup Berry association &C.
companied by MI W. w. Ward ronte
superintendent of the Northern Elk
press Co. spent the afternoon here
and met a large number of berry
growers. The object of the meeting
was to ascertain how many berries are
now grown in this vicinity, and how
many will be planted in the near
future. There were IL men and one
woman at the meeting, all of whom
are all ready growing more or less
berries, and will plant more. The
Northern Express Co. have promised
to establish sorting and shipping
sheds at Kent, Auburn and Thomas,
providing enough berries will be
shipped to justify such an expense.
The express company is interested
and anxious to see the berry industry
Of the White River valley develop.
The interest in berry growing was
shown as Mr.. Paulhamus devoted the
most of the afternoon to answering
questions regarding berry culture,
such as best soils, best berries, how
to cultivate. how to plant and the
best returns for their labor. He went
into the matter so thoroughly that
each berry grower received more in
formation than he would get out OF
the average book. Mr.. Paulbamus is
the largest berry grower in the
Puyallup valley. He stated that on
l 1926 acres he harvested this year
l. 178 crates of raspberries, netting
him about 5000. This shows what can
be done by mau who studies the
question of berry growing and mark
citing his crop.
There we're present: L. Y. Will
liams, Mrs. c.. r. Cotterill, e. S.
Wolfe, Robt. Ramsey, g. V. Garrison,
G. L. Roper, A. o. Jeftries, j. H.
Snyder. Ed Molkie, Chas. Leigh, j.
A. Sharp, II. Gonnison, Ernest John
son, Geo. Waid, M. R. Kennedy.
Homer Clark and j. Fl. Timony.
The magnitude to which the berry
industry of PuyalIup and Sumner has
grown was shown when Mr.. Paulbamus
stated that they had shipped this year
62, 400 crates Of raspberries and 30, 600
crates of blackberries. They also
have d cannery worth $50, 600, which
not only can the soft berries but
rhubarb, sweet corn, beans, etc.
