LIVESTOCK PROSPECTS
IN OREGON GOOD

There never has been time in the
history of the state when the farmers
have had such ansopportunity to make
money by raising livestock for meat
purposes as at present. With an ag-
gregate shortage'of'over 5000, 600 meat
animals, approximately 800, 600. 600
pounds. in the leading packing centers
of the United States, it is certain that
for some years to come there will not
only he an unlimited demand for meat
animals, but it is also certain that
prices will range high and it is not i'm
possible that all previous records may
be broken.
1t is fact that nearly all the big
cattle ranges of the state have been
broken up and that in only few loea-
tons is it possible to find pasturage
for large herds, but it is also fact
that the average farm could be made
to produce larger number of animals
than it is now doing. With the big
packers and bankers willing, and anx-
ious, to cooperate with reliable farmers
in the state in stocking farms and
ranches, it would appear that any
farmer who fails to take advantage 0i
his opportunities in this direction is
making big mistake. The population
of the entire northwest is increasing al
rapid rate, the. people must be sup
piled with meat, and if Oregon ranches
cannot meet the demand it will Ger
tainly be met by other states, a largt
amount of money will he sent away
and the meat industry of the state
damaged to Just that extent.

DIR. COALE'S SERMONS
CREATE INTEREST

The union services at the Methodist
church will be held each evening this
week at 7.30. An afternoon meeting at
2.30 each day will also be held. Many
are availing themselves of the prlvl-
lege of hearing Dir. Coale and Prof,
Huston, each a specialist in his work.
Dr. Coale is a true southerner and has
most pleasing" way representing his
theme. lie is firm and decided. in his
statements, yet withal exceedingly in
teresting and kind. He breaches his
belief in a manner which brings con-
viction, yet with an utter absence OF
antagonism or disrespect for those OF
other faith than his own. He is
preaching to an awakening interest
and each day brings greater numbers
to his meetings. One listens to his
sermons and feels a confidence in the
sincerity of the preacher, and a desire
is created for the better life. To at
tend one meeting means that one viii
attend subsequent meetings.
DR.. Coale is most ably assisted BY
Prof. Huston, whose solos are much
appreciated His clear, strong voice
leads the audience in the singing, anC
somehow everyone is singing before the
song is fairly begun. Together these
men are conducting wholesome, up
lifting campaign for Christianity that
it is believed, will leave lasting effects
in Hood River. Many have already &C
cepted Christ and much interest II
shown by all attending.
The meetings, as planned at present
will close Sunday evening.

the session.
Eighty three representatives. of
canning and evaporating plants in Ore
gon and Washington we're present, "
says Mr.. Butler. land as a result of
the meeting Oregon canneTies and
evaporsting plants will form an organ
ization for the Standardization of their
product and systematic marketing of
it. The canneries and evaporatOTs of
Washington will do likewise, and later
we hope for federation of the plants
Of Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
The committee also impressed upon
those present its purpose of encourag-
ing and fostering all industries of the
by-product nature that have already
been started and assisting plants in
those localities where they are needed.
The committee shall try to head off the
installation of such plant when it is
not needed. We find that machinery
companies are prone TO push the con-
struction of canneries, when there is
absolutely no need for them
The next step in the work of the by
products hoard will be to call a meeting
at Seattle or Puyallup to get an ex-
preston from the packers and manu-
facturers of western Washington and
later a similar hearing for the concerns
of eastern Washington, Idaho and Mon
tana. If all show disposition favera-
BILE to the plan the board will proceed
to work out a denfiite plan of action
looking toward Standardization and
other marketing features that are un.
der consideration. II is probable that
the recommendation of the board will
be for the organization of three local
organizations in the three districts to
handle the cooperative work.

The central board can be made TO re
lieve a present situation where the
growers are starving TO death and with
passing years II should be developed
to bring all growers closer and closer
together.

ers do not all get in the game and not
only realize the present situation that
must be met, but also perfect the ma
chinery that will be needed to meet the
situations of the next three or four
years when he annual crop will be tre-
mendously increased.
The members of the organization

posed new system.

COLORADO SHIPPER
STUDIES COOPERATION

James Turnbull, one Of the largest
shippers of apples in the Grand juno
tion, Colorado, fruit district. was here
last week interviewing local growers
and market men. Mr.. Turnbull has
been making a tour OF the Paclhc
Northwest in the quest of information
that will give the Colorado growers
and shippers some basis on which TO
work out marketing method that will
bring relief to them. Just before
Christmas a delegation OF Colorado
shippers visited the northwestern ap-
nile districts on the same mission.
Mr., Turnbull declares that a great
change has taken place in the apple
selling game in the last -four years.
Before 1912 the dealers were IN the
habit of bidding for the fruit OF the
principal eastern and northwestern dis
tricts. The marketing agencies sp.
priced them of what they had and
asked them to come and buy the fruit.
And the market men came. But they
had all been losing money for several
wears before 1912, and they decided to
hold off a while. By December the
marketing agencies had become flight.
ened, there was grand rush to get oil
the apples on the market, and demoral'
ization resulted.
"We Colorado growers are watching
| with grave interest the results that
follow your institution OF a central
board of control" said MIR. Iurnbuil.
"If it proves effective, we certainly
will follow in. your footsteps.

Porter Advises Berry Culture

J. c. Porter is of the opinion that
Hood River would be far better off if a
number of orchardists had kept their
tracts in straw berries instead of put
ting the land into trees. I'VE have
certainly been getting mighty good re-
turns from our berries, says Mr.. Por-
ter. "Last year the Association had to
turn down about as many orders as 1t
filed. The growers received about
81. 90 a crate for their berries. Such
returns show a very handsome profit,
al think those sections of the valley
that grow strawberries better than
apples might we'll be left in this small
fruit.

"UpIift" in Fiction.

Latter-day American story tellers,
most of them, seem to be In a con-
spiracy to make the world better"
to touch the heart" to make you
forget all your troubles" to "exalt
life and love-" to be "a sunshine
maker" These intentions are so an
faltering, and the stress laid on clean
living" is so insistent, that one is
forced to ask ones self whether the
practice and theory of living in Amer
lea are not anita gOnistic? whether the
exaggerated sentimental appeal may
not denote thinness of real emotion,
and the persistent absorption with the
moral issue an uneasy self-distrust? It
would be as ridiculous to charge the
great American people with being less
honest with themselves than are those
of other nations as it would be to
doubt that in ''the land of freedom"
there is less inner freedom than else
where. But the latter-day American
novel often leaves one with an I'M
easy idea that the weight and mOmen-
tum of American civilization are roll
ing out the paste of human nature
very nat and are stamping it with ma
chine-made patterns Of too common an

Covert cloths, shepherd s-checked
and striped suitings seem to be divid-
ing honors in tailored suits for spring.
1t is. hard to say which is most ia
vored All of them are developed in
many smartly cut and perfectly tail
ored plain suits that are far and away
the most elegant of all street dresses.
Some of the new models are what
may be called severely plain, allowing
themselves only machine stitching
and buttons by way of garniture and
finishing touches. Buttons this sea-
son are made of the fabric of the gar
ment in many elegant suits, but in
unusual shapes. In an equal number
of designs they are selected from the
various composition, bone or pearl de-
signs. But severe lines and finishing
do not characterize all the new spring
tailor-mades.
The coat-suit shown in the picture
belongs to the plain welltailored class
that should be found in every woman's
wardrobe. 1t is just right for the bust
ness woman, the traveller, or for street
wear where one finds need for only
one new tailored costume.

REALLY NOT A FAIR BET
Young Man Made Wager Which IL
Was Almost Impossible for
Him to Lose.

There was no sound except the faint
and regular tick of watch. Other
wise silence and gloom pervaded the
elegantly furnished drawing-room.
In one chair sat a beautiful girl,
her lips tightly closed. her eyes star
ing straight before her and her every
muscle tense with a powerful effort
of self-control. In another sat a
young man whose face expressed Sc
robustness but confidence. In his hand
he held an open watch which he OBJ
served closely, only raising his eyes
now and then to glance at the beauti-
full girl, who seemed to be in such
agony.
Five seconds, ten, fifteen, twenty
seconds passed. The position OF
neither the young man nor beautiful
girl had changed.
Suddenly her eyes CLEANED with a
wild light; she clasped her hands con-
vulsively, and
"I must speak," burst from her
bloodless lips.
"Twenty-four seconds" said the
young man, as he closed the watch
and put it back into his pocket. you

seconds"

panel down the front. 1t is cut with a
sufficient flare and is ankle-length. In.
many of these skirts the waist line is
high, and suspender tops and pockets.
at the sides give them an air of util'

The coat in this suit follows the

ly tran is the rule in spring styles.
It has a panel back and plain coat
sleeves finished with band and two
buttons at the wrist At each side of
the front an applied strap, pointed at
the end and decorated with button
and simulated buttonhole, suggests a

waist having square turnover collar
at the back. This has "V"-shaped
opening at the front showing dainty
collar and vestee of lace or net worn
under it. Cloth-top shoes and pretty
hemp hat with trimming of ribbon and
cherries complete a spring costume
that merits no criticism.
