cooperation which makes for univer-

1t was a beautiful truth which our
forefathers symbolized when in the
old market towns they erected mar
ket cross. as il to teach both buyers
and sellers to rule their actions and
sunctify their gains by the remem-

Standard Goods Bear Trade Mark.
The live town furnishes a market
for all kinds of farm produce. 1t also
becomes n center of exchange which
supplies every human requirement
from needle to steam thrasher or
the luxurious automobile. Modern
merchants pride themselves on their
ability to serve the buying public.
They ill their stores with merchandise
of standard quality which should
make and keep customers.
In previous articles we have shown
how good town contributes TO higher
farm values and how farm prosperity
may be directly and greatly Influenced
by the presence of good town This
being the case. there is natural rela-
ton between country and townspeople
which many perhaps have not thor

new YORK MEN

E. L. Goodsell, market expert of
New York and London. will speak be-
fore the Hood River oranges at the
Commercial club Saturday afternoon.
Feb. 26.
MIR. Goodsell's help has been asked
in working out a marketing system for
some Of the California products that
are glutting the market, and he is now
en- route to California. There is a
great movement in California toward
manufacturing and marketing by.prod-
ucts Of fruit, especially dried peaches.
Mr.. Goodsell's long connection with
large fruit interests in Covent Garden,
London, as well as his experience in
New York, makes him we'll qualified,
in Director Weinstock's opinion, to aid
the California growers with helpful in
formation. During the past winter and
fall he has been the right hand man of
John j. Dillon, director of the depart
ment of markets for New York. He
officiated at the barrel apple auctions
held in the orchards of New York at
Red Hook and Gardner. by the depart
ment of markets. last September.
These auctions are alleged to have
raised the price of barrel apples rs
cents to S1.25 per barrel.
MIR. Goodsell has very pronounced
views concerning the possibilities Of
greatly developing the European mar
kets for northwestern box apples. He
sees great future export business di.
rect by steamship from the Pacific
northwest, and has prepared some
definite plans along this line.

LUMBER MILLS WILL
RUN FULL BLAST

BY the first of May 600 men will be
given employment in the forests and
lumber mills of Hood River county.
The Oregon Lumber Co., operating at
Dee the largest mill in the county,
plans to begin work just as soon as
weather conditions will permit logging.
The big mill, with daily capacity Of
more than $50, 900 feet. will probably
be running before March Is. The com
pany will employ 800 men. The mill
of the Wind River Lumber Co., at Gas.
cade Locks, will be operated again as
soon as spring opens. This company
employs about 100 men.
The mill of Stanley-Smith Lumber
Co. at Green Point will be put in oper-
alton IN April. The deep SHOWS that
fall at the high altitude cause the COM
pany to get later start than that of
mills of the lower levels. This conf
pany will employ about $50 men. A
half dozen smaller mills, cutting a
daily average of from 10, 900 to $1,000
feet of lumber, will be run this sum-
mer employing a total of more than 100

alleged miser, when fined 50 before
Municipal Judge Howe last week on a
charge of disorderly conduct, asked
that he be allowed to serve out the

an old man past 60 years of age, added
to the embarrassment of his predica-

he had been incarcerated.
When City Marshal Carson told the
old man that his actions were such as
might lead to legal investigation as
to his sanity, he had sudden change
of mind and paid his fine, demanding
that he be Immediately released.
Chapman's arrest followed his running
