Pursuant to a call recently issued by J II. Fleming. a goodly number of the farmers, fruit and truck growers of the valley gathered yesterday af- ternoon in the Farmers assembly hall in the office building of the Water Users association. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the de- sirability of forming an organization for the marketing of valley products direct from producer to consumer, dividing the present profits of the middlemen between the grower and the consumer. For the most part the meeting was composed of truck grow CTS, melon growers and fruit grow CTS who are taking the initiative, but it is planned to later encourage the utilization of the producers of farm crops generally, even to hay, citrus fruits etc. The result of the meeting was the appointment of various com mittees, one of which was a commit tee on permanent organization, in

The Readers Of The Republic
By TOEN IRVING HOMER. Editor of Printers Ink. 70

Without advertising many a bright idea would be as helpless as boat up- on Lake Michigan without oars. Some men, conscious of the possibilities of an advertising idea, have deliberately hunted for and found that idea. In- gcnuity is stimulated when one knows that the means is at hand to carry ori- ginal plans into execution.
 In one of our larger cities is a store devoted to women $. misses and child ren $ wear. Last January. after par ticularly lucrative holiday trade, the necessity arose of stimulating sales during the slack period.
 The merchant was mcditating writ ing the usual conventional advertise mcnt of d special sale at sacrifice prices, in order to clear the way for the fresh spring Stock.' when he asked himself why he could not devise some plan that would give q certain novelty of interest to his advertising and thus better promote sales. He had a sus- picion that the old argument was be- ginning to lose it's freshness of interest with a much-solicitcd public.
 "Why not he asked himself, "givc something to the children in the nq- ture of a premium upon sales, and thus get them upon my side and at the same time get the benefit of having my offer talked about?" He knew that word-of-mOuth discussion is an excellent supplement to newspaper ad vertising.

OPTIMISM.

The present summer will be long remembered as a season of scauty rainfall and great heat. Tn June the total rainfall of the month was less than third of one inch The gov ernment thermometer in high and free locations going as high as 1of means temperature Of ten or fifteen de grees higher in the streets below. \ drought is a damage in many ways but it is a change of climate, and as such may have a beneficial effect up on the health of people. checking cer- tain tendencies to disease in those who cannot, or do not, undergo an actual change of climate.
 The farmer says the drought puts the soil in good condition for the next crop. making it mellow and bringing up fertility that the rains had washed down into subsoil. Many kinds of in- sects and diseases troubling the plant life of garden. field and orchard are retarded or cxterminatcd The peo- pie are taught habits of economy and forehandedness one Of the most re- markable things in nature is the sys- tenn of compensation The ear of a blind man becomes acute. the hand .of a onc-armed man strong.
 Tn the last drought the pasture that was dry and brown in summer was green as velvet in the fall. and the heat that parched that seasons crops kept the frost line lingering in the north till near the holidays. SD that the feed question that winter was not so serious as it might have been. So- lon said: Call no man happy till he is dead" So we may say: Gall no year profitable till it is ended" \ drought hurts while it lasts. but who can say that the human race is not better off at the end of a century for having had an occasional drought?- Henry Co.

 Figures were given showing the magnitude of the operations of the Phoenix Cantaloupe Growers asso- citation this season. and the results to date. though final settlement on ship ments has not been made. There have been 39 carloads shipped containing II ,G33 crates. The commission men have advanced S5,594S0 for the mel ons and crates and nails to the val ue of S3.345.6O and seed Co the value of $375. a total of $g,32O.40. or a total per crate of a little over so cents
 This has been paid by the Gibson Fruit Co, which handled the melons Of the association.
 M. A. Stanford spoke favoring an invitation to all produce growers to join the association and build up an organization that will represent prac- tically all the growers in the valley. A general discussion followed As it. frustrating the profits of the middlemen which the growers believe are exces- sive, working a hardship alike on pro ducer and consumer, it was stated that asparagus which is sold at whole sale at r cents is retailcd at 3O cents; that grapes sold at wholesale at cents are retailed at from 10 to l2 cents; plums sold at wholesale at cents are resold at 10 cents and cantaloUpes sold at cents per dozen are resold at 25 cents per dozen. these quotations being given as Phoenix prices.
 The committee on permanent organ iZation was next chosen and consists of Messrs Dick Osmundson W. Hig- gins. A l.. Taylor J. II. Fleming and Dr. SIgh.
 A subject somewhat foreign to the meeting but of concern to all the farmers was then brought up. that of a movement to secure an eXten- sion of time in which the Roosevelt reservoir should be paid for. from ten years to possibly twenty-five or fifty years II was discussed somewhat and it was decided to appoint a com mittce to wait on Senator Clapp whose presence in the city was known, and try and enlist his interest in the plan for an extension of time. The committee appointed was composed of Dr. | W. Foss chairman and Dr. Sligh, Dick Osmundson, F. k. Hall, NJ. A Stanfard. Perry Munger, MT Kendrick, <. s. ScuI, A. R. Taylor pr. Q. r..

GIRLS CLUB FUN

A crowd of a dozen girls had a cooking club, says the Chicago Record Herald. once a year they asked their men friends to a spread" At the last they had this way of selecting part ners for supper: Cards were passed to both men and women bearing the mysterious terms of Strawberries" :" Cream, Lamb Mint Sauce etc The hostess explained that Pork went with Apple Sauce" and "Filet of Beef'' with Mushrooms" that partners would be found and all go into the dining room. This made loads of fun and the result was a grand mixup. Afterwards slips of paper were passed to the men and they had to prepare what they considered a good menu All these were kept by the girls for future reference In arranging this repast each girl had contributed something of her own cook ing.

Accordingly, he advertised that for every two dollars worth of merchan- disc bought ill his place during the following special sales week, he would give ticket good for one ride upon the toboggan in the park. He had all ready leased the rights to the slide for certain period each day. "Mothers, give your children a treat. that Is at once healthful and mvigorating. Prices for goods are clearance prices. too"
 This appeal took wings to itself. Mothers read it in the newspapers and children talked about 1t among them selves, the message thus spreading to those who for this reason and that had not seen the advertising.
 The following week became nearly as busy as during Christmas period Mothers or big sisters came to make the purchases that would give them value for their money and at the same time get the premium tickets that would give the children the much-cov- etcd toboggan ride. Whenever a pur- chase amounted to a few dimes less than the amount sufficient to earn an other ticket. other small purchases usually were made to bring the total up to the required amount.
 This merchant is upon the right track. He gave his advertising some thing definite to do. Vague, aimleSS advertising signifies the absence of capable directing judgment behind 1t. Advertising is a sort of an errand boy, but wise man will not send 1t upon ''foOl errands."

A silent profession followed by more than one woman of birth and breeding is that of launching on the waves of society those whose ambi- ton it is to go where they have never been before-socially. The promoter is generally a kind hearted woman, who begins her calling quite unconscioUsly. In fact. it us ually happens in this way: She is implored by some one who has more money than opportunities to enjoy what it can procure for intro dUctiOn. Sine manages them. Her client is enormously and substantial ly grateful. The launching increases her favors. The client increases her response. And SD the calling is taken up in good earnest.

COLD ROAST LAMB

A nice way to use up cold roast lamb is to season it with peas and ma yonnaise, according to the New York Tribune. Drain a can Of peas. and if they have a slightly tinny' flavor, rinse them in cold water If this is quickly done they will not be water soaked nor injured in the least, but improved very much. Have ready a cupful of very stiff mayonnaise and arrange it with the peas as d garnish to the lamb, which should be cut in thin slices

Gone Bat Not Forgotten

Friday morning March 3, 1911,
the angel of death entered the home
of Alfred L. Campbell near Birdell
and claimed for its victim his low
ing companion. Mrs. Campbell
obeyed the gospel about ten years
ago and had lived a faithful chris
tan life ever since. An immense
crowd followed her to the Old Union
graveyard where the earthly remains
we're laid to rest to await the resur-
rection.
In July 1902 she was married to
Mr.. Campbell. Four children
came to bless their home three girls
and one boy, the oldest eight years
of age, the youngest five months.
Bereaved ones, weep not as others
who have no hope, for we have the
sweetest consolation in the words,
"Blessed are they that do His com
that they may have a
right to the tree of life and enter in
through the gates into the City"
