Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1914-07-28

1t was shown that the members o
this organization shipping strawber
ries this year received an average o.
S1.S712 per crate for the shallow pin
boxes, which would be equal to $26S
for the old style crate of pound boxes
The growers receiving this high price
for berries included the shippers OF
ten cars from Yakima, 124 cars from
Hood River. and seventeen cars from
Spokane. and when compared to the
price of $l05, which is the average
price received by other Northwest
growers, the result of shipping
through this organization proved
gratifying to the growers. Also many
cars of cherries were handled for an
average price of $1.05 for ten pound
boxes. which is the highest price re-
ceived by any northwest grower Mr..
Ewing of the Ewing Bros. place, who
shipped together with some of their
neighbors through the North Pacific
Fruit Distributors last year, stated
that they had received 80 cents for
their grade apples, and $1.6O for
their fancy Spitzenburg apples, all
shipments C. 0. d., when some of his
Independent shipping neighbors re-
ceived only 60 cents for their grade
apples in the same market. A great
advantage of this organization is its
system of loaning to the farmer, when
in need, money enough TO pick, pack,
and ship his entire crop. which is as
sistance almost impossible to obtain
from a bank without more security
than a perishable crop of fruit or
vegetables.
The system of inspecting fruit in
transportation was explained and was
a revelation to most of those present
and the manner of disposition of fruit
in an over-stOcked market when ex-
planned, proved very interesting. 1T
was shown, that by the system of
branch offices and inspectors maintain
ed by this organization it is easy to-
change the destination of a car while
enroute. thus placing ripening fruit in
a nearer market or reshipping with
out reloading ears that have arrived
in a glutted market. making it pos
sible thereby to obtain the highest
price without even a chance of loss
from over-ripe or the old cry of an
over-stocked market.
These advantages met with the ap-
proval Of the interested growers pres
ent. nearly all of whom had at some
time in their shipping experience
been up against both Of these prob
lens. In the past when shipping
alone. what could a grower do but
take the commission man 5 word when

fruit had arrived in bad condition, ant
that he could not pay more than cost
of freight charges. 1t was showr
that the North Pacific Fruit Distrib
utors when notified of poor condition
of car of fruit wired the commission
man that an inspector of this organi-
zation would arrive and inspect the
car on the following day. This, had
there been anything wrong with the
fair treatment. 1t was shown that
so per cent of the purchasers of fruit
from growers are Jews, Italians, and
Greeks, who are in the business to
make money from both the grower
and consumer. 1t is no wonder, there
fore, that the growers found it neces-
sary to organize and protect their in
terests.
The directors of the Polk County
Fruit Growers association, after care
full consideration, urged each and ev-
cry one of its members to join the
North Pacific Fruit Distributors.
Pamphlets issued by the North Pacific
Fruit Distributors were circulated
among those present after the speak
ing and general discussion relative
to the griefs of the independent ship
per followed, in which several growers
told Of their troubles with the middle
man. An Eastern visitor told of the
opportunity for better sale of West
ern fruit in the Eastern markets.

READY Money
Will Be NEXT
BIJ0U PLAY

1T takes money to make money,
anu the man with ready money in his
pocket is bound to make more. This
statement made by Jackson Ives,
counterfe.ter and a man of the world
is the keynote Of the play Ready
Money" to be presented at the BijOu
theater next Monday by the Players
All-Star Company.
The story told is that of a likable
young New Yorker, Stephen Baird,
who has made a failure of life, but
who has drawn to him many staunch
friends. He owns a mine, heavily
mCrtgaged, in Arizona. but has been
unable to sell stock to carry on de-
Velopment work. To him comes Jack
sen Ives, and offers him $4,000 in
counterfeit money to show to his
friends, telling him financial success
will surely follow. Quick proof OF
his words follow, and before morning
Baird finds that his friends believe
that gold has been discovered in the
mine and force many checks for large
sums upon him. Then come the Sc
cret service agents breaking into the
pICtJ7 ICOtlLS INCC anu DdlIuy OuS
they are soon released as the police
cannot prove the money is counter
felt.
Through the entire play runs a
sweet love story, while the audience
is kept in gale of laughter as a
result of the humorous incidents
which arise. George Webb will be
seen as Stephen Baird and Guy Hit
ner as Jackson Ives and Miss Oakley
as Grace Tyler, Baird's sweetheart
Tonight will be the last perform
ance Of Maggie Pepper" one of the
very best dramas ever seen here, and
one that is, being presented in aman-
neri that will appeal to the most ex-
acting theater goer The play is full
CT comedy with many intense scenes,
and offers splendid opportunity for
Miss Oakley in the title role.

BR|SCOE CAR IS LATEST MODEL
TO Be HANDLED TSCHUMANS

The latest sensation in automobile
Briscoe This car has been brought
to Honolulu by the Schuman Carriage
Co., and for beauty of design. price
and sturdnesS OF construction stands
unequalled.
While returning home from his trip
to the continent, Mr.. Schuman looked
into the merits of all the low priced
popular cars being offered. and after
a thorough inspection he selected the
BriscOe as the car best adapted to
the wants of the great mass Of buyers
who cannot afford the higher priced,
higher powered cars.
Benjamin Briscoe is the man who
built the first Maxwell cars, and the
reputation made by these cars in for
mcr years bids fair to being eXCelled
in this, his latest creation
The BriScoe is built strictly along
the lines of the best known French
makes, and has all the best known
features Of European cars combined
with American production, economy
consideration has been given to every
automobile value that has been or is
likely to be offered. not merely this
year but for a number Of years to
come, and the result is a well bal
anced, normal motor car, in which are
incorporated the most advanced ideas
III automobile construction.
AS a result of it's complete equip
ment in every detail. the Briscoe is
sure to attract great number Of buy
ers who heretofore have been con-
templating the purchase of a car SELL
ing at much more pretentious price.
The silent. perfect, positive electric
starter, the high. tension Splitdorf
magnetic, Nthe long stroke motor, the
long, flexible springs, sthe full floating
rear axle, the light weight, made pos
sible only because of this vanadium
steel construction, are. features which
every buyer of an automobile must
consider before purchasing.
These things coupled with the we'll
known reputation of Mr.. .Briscoe for
building a car which stands up under
the most adverse circumstances will
all tend to give the buying public the
most absolute confidence in his abili-
ty as car manufacturer.

IMPOSSIBLE TO LOSE
IHR0U6H JUDGE ALLEN

Because of the Jackson episode
Judge Allen required the bond
company to insure all moneys
passing through his hands by
reason of his official capacity
just as a guarantee OF good faith.
The bond reads in part thus:
And perform all and every
duty enioined on him by law, by
virtue of said Office, without
fraud or deceit, and pay over all
moneys that may come into his
hands, by virtue of said office, to
person or persons entitled to re-
ceive the same --than the
obligations shall be void; other
wise to be in full force and ef-
feet"
1t will thus be seen that it is
impossible for YOU to lose in

1. Explain how milk should be
cared for to prevent Its sourine
before due time.
Answer.
n Milk vessels should be thor
oughly cleaned and scalded to rio
them of fermentation microbes
before putting milk into them
then it should be kept in a COO
place and covered with absorb.

What is a fertilizer? What is
the best fertilizer a farmer Can
get? why? Do all soils require
:he same fertilizer?
Answer.
A fertilizer is any thing that
feeds the soil. (b) Manure.
(c) Because it most nearly con
tains all the elements in which
soil can be lacking (d) They 60
aot.
Why should the farmer selec
the best seed? What should he
seek in the selection of seed?
Answer
To insure his time being spent
growing a standard crop Of the
best variety instead of an infe-
rior grade of feed Tor other CROP
that can not possibly be so val
liable (2) Uniformity and perfec-
tion of size and shape; adherance
to characteristics of the species
desired, and maturity as
we'll as adaptability to the clim-
attic and soil conditions with
which he must cope.
What are weeds? why a curse
to the farmer? Why a blessing
to the farmer? When does a plant
cease to be weed?
Answer
Weeds are any nOxious OF
valueless plant (that means
those of which no valuable prop
critics are known). They prove "a
curse to the farmer by robbing
his growing crop of moisture
and mourishment; a blessing to
him by forcing him to till his
soil well before planting and to
cultivate his crop well.

What Springfield Needs

or course Springfield needs
paved streets and railroads and
factories. and such like things;
hut these wants will have to bide
their time, ard are useless to
talk about.
Aside from these things there
are some things that Springfield
needs that the outside world
ought to know about.
One of the most pressing OF
these now is II doctor. AT this
time, with the required four
years course, it is our opinion
that young doctor is safe, and
we believe if Il wide-aWalie
young doctor were to locate here
he would quickly get into good
practice as he could in any
eastern field he could find.
Another thing that we are
needing just now, and needing
badly. is a bank We can't say
as to whether better place than
Springfield could be found for
a bank. but that q bank here
would be handsomely supported
and would do well is beyond
question. In deed, Il bank at
Springfield would be bank for
the whole county.
A Lumber yard is needed
at the county seat. We
have spoken of this before,
and as stated before we believe
a firm here handling only lumber
would, during the next 10 years,
do a larger business than would
a general merchandise firm with
out lumber.
These are three things needed
in Springfield and needed now!

that the loses are very close to

and he only comment that it
