follows:

Interest In Organizations.

A subject that is getting the atten-
tiOu OF many Of our growers In various
sections, is the subject OF organization
and cooperation. The need OF work
along this line has been emphasized
in the market or the past seasons
crops.
The fact that organizations for the
prober packing and handling, and the
juoiciOus marketing or our fruits have
been brought To successful issue in
the fruit districts Of the Northwest
as we'll as even IN Michigan lends
announcement to the interest that
Is being shown.
The grape growers association OF
Paw Paw and Lawton and the Apple
Shippers assOcia tiOn OF Fennville are
practical examples Of what can be
done along these lines.
There are several forms OF organza-
tion practiced in the Northwest. One
of the plans that meet with favor Is
an organization where representatives.
Of different districts, or shipping
points are chosen, VINO in turn elect
officers who have absolute charge Of
the marketing OF the crops, after they
are packed aud loaded in the cars.
When the produce is sold the growers
receive their money at once, less
percentage TO cover the cost OF elling.
The surplus. II any, at the end Of the
season is divided prorat among She
growers. This proposition is benefc-
isl iD that the grower can devote all
his time to growing the fruit, know
ing that when it was packed and load
ed it would be properly marketed.
Many associations also conduct cen
tral packing and sorting houses sud
market everything under the label of
the association.-The Fruit Belt.

Temple Theatre, Jan. 1st. High
School Lyceum Course.

As civilization advances, special
ization developes. This Is an age OF
specialists and experts. In many I'M
portant matters we must relv entirely
upon specialists for guidance. In a
democracy every citizen must become
a student OF economics, as important
questions are decided by his vote.
BuEeyen here it is TO the specialist
we must turn for expert knowledge.
We are fortunate Just at this time,
when the State Tax Commission has
presented it's report and there is wide
spread interest Ia the question Of
methods OF taxation, we are fortunate c
in having an opportunity 10 hear a
great national expert in just such
questions.
