around the bush when he says an
office full Of salaried people for
whom the association has no earthly
use and whose pay comes out OF the
growers. He must be talking OF
some other association, for he knows
that is not true Of the Grants Pass
Fruit association. He knows that
the secretary is the only man reeeiy-
ing any pay. and that merely nom
inal. $500 per day for actual days
working. The policy OF the Grants
Pass Fruit association will be strict
economy at all times, and when this
policy is deviated from the remedy
is in the hands OF the stockholders
remove the offenders and put in
those who will do their wishes. But
consider II very unfair to charge
this association with the errors or
failures of its predecessors, for this
association has no connection what
ever with any other association, and
it is not in any way responsible for
other than its own acts, and its own
desire is to build mp through the
fruit growers a marketing machine
TO which the growers shall point
with profit and pride. and this can
only he done by consistent loyalty
of all members.
Gentlemen. the fact remains that
if we have a fruit association or any
thing else in Grants Pass it will be
only by concerted action. and every
one doing his share, both i'm words
and deeds. 1t is not an easy matter
to build mp a successful fruit associ-
alton in a valley where the interests
are as varied as they are here, vet 1t
can he done, and we point with pride
TO the Ashland association Now lets
forget everything but the one main
factor. that We are here to build up
the institutions Of JOsephine county.
and bend every effort and nerve de-
tcrminedly to that one end and SUI
cess is bound to be ours.
Yours for the motto, Boost, Don't
Knock"

1T rs SETTLED AT LAST.

The old saying when doctors dis
agree who shall decide continues TO
ne true as the world advances, and
there are always two sides D the
simple little facts OF life. There is
the matter OF drinking water at ones
meal II has been regarded by some
as a miserable habit. The schcJ'
text books are preaching It tha. way
and they give very impressive rea-
sons for it. At one time 1t was
taught drink at your meals, If YOU
feel like It; and drink all you want;
II was said to be good for yol as il
helps digestion, then came the oppo-
site doctrine never drink at your
meals, not for an hour afterNari
and that idea has prevailed for some
time and is part of our schoo!
knowledge today.
\ farmer in Illinois had a large
amount Of hay and corn one fall and
so he bought fifty head of cattle He
had just pulled the ears OF corn in
one lot and as there was large
amount of husks and corn stocks
turned his herd of cattle in. Some
one said to him that cattle should
have water If they We're put on the
dry food, but he claimed that doctors
advised people not to drink water
with their meals, and what was good
for man was good for beasts and so
he said he would give them water the
next day. Going to look at his cat
tie the next morning he found nearly
half of them dead and veterinarians
told him that they should have had
water with the dry husks. and then
they would have been all fight
Those people who have been teach
ing MS not to drink water with our
meals are responsible for much of
the stomach troubles in our country,
but We are glad that a man of high
authority now comes out and tells
MS the simple truth, and that is

MIR. sELLECk ON
FRUIT ASSOCIATION.

MIR. sELIEth oN
FRUIT ASSOCIATION.
Editor Courier 1 desire little space
in the columns OF the Courier TO re-
ply to an article which appeared in
the issue OF August 18th, 1912, over
the signature OF Mr.. ]. F. Burke, in
which my name was used, and wish
10 express my thanks in advance for
publication of same at your earliest
convenience.
First OF an ] wish to say that there
has never been any personal animos-
itv between Mr.. Burke and myself,
but on the contrary We have been the
hest of friends. 1t seems TO be very
hard task TO make some OF the fruit
growers realize the absolute neces-
siry OF combined EFFORT and unity oil
action I'm order that an association
may successfully handle their fruit
IT all fruit growers were to take
the stand Mr. Burke has taken this
year. # would be impossible for an
association to exist.
There may have been mistakes
made bv the management in the past,
but it is not unusual in the operation
of anv business with inexperienced
men; I'm fact, it would be remarkable
If none were made; but there certain
.ly are no high-salaried officials as
stated by him, in the Grants Pass
Fruit association, and Mr.. Burke, as
a stockholder. must know it. The
secretary is the only salaried official
and he receives very nominal wages
for the actual time he puts in. 1t Is
so meagre. in fact, that were it not
for his interest for the welfare of the
association and his great desire to
boost anything along that is for the
GOOD Of the community at large, he
would not have accepted the office at
IAN.
As TO our secretary's competency
I can merely say he was the unanim-
GUS choice Of the stockholders and
the board of directors, with perhaps
the single exception Of Mr. Burke)
and many Of the best and largest
fruit ranches are represented in their
number; and it seems to me that is
sufficient endorsement of his COM
petency to handle the business how
ever. the most competent man cam
not handle such a business without
the hearty support and cooperation
of an the growers who are members
Of the association.
Mr. Bur>es action in shipping his
pears through the Producers Fruit
Co. does not coincide with his state
ment that he believes in supporting
home institutions. 1t reminds me OF
the reply mother made to her
daughter when asked it she might
