Fruit Growers Agency Insures
Improved Marketing Methods
and Wider Distribution
By c. A. MaIboeuf, Portland, Orc.

The Fruit Growers agency plan
strikes directly against each element
of economic inefficiencies In past mar
keting conditions. 1t makes cooper
alton between the selling agencies inn
perative. demands reforms at the mar
ket end, and outlines the courses
whereby greater and more profitable
distribution can be effected. 1t states
clearly just what the selling agencies
must do to properly serve the grower.
In every feature of it's laid down pro-
cedure efficiency and economical per-
Torrance is a rigid enactment.
Only One Right Way Of Selling.
There is only one right way of selling
fruit and efficiency is the key to it..
Wisdom has steadfastly pointed to co.
operation as the keystone to that eff
cheney, and while operation has al
ternately doomed and slumped,
thoughtful experience stands unshaken
in it's confidence with the growers and
selling agencies working through one
cooperative system right selling
methods can be accomplished effect
lively, and increasing crops will become
mere incidentals to distribution. Too
much competition, too may shippers
and pulling apart sums up the story
Of past failures. Infallible salesman
ship could not have made good in a
million years under these circum-
stances. The selling agency methods
have been as efficient as they could be.
1t was the general economic situation
that needed reimbursement.
Accurate Crop Information Necessary.
The basis of values is accurate crop
information, and that is the first vital
necessity to correct marketing. A host
of shippers all working apart and in
total ignorance of each others prac-
tees cannot possibly obtain precise
data of world wide crops; an organiza-
ton of growers and selling agencies
representing substantially the entire
tonnage can do so at a minimum of
expense. Crop figures under disor-
ganized condition may operate to the
serious disadvantage of the producers
interests. Too often they are used to
depress values for speculative pur-
poses, or in conflicting form spread
broadcast and either destroy values or
cause apprehension in the minds of the
| trade. Reliable figures gathered
through a common source of authority
| become standard, public and remove
all those possibilities. Thus the gov
! ernments plan imposes obligation upon
the Fruit Growers agency members te
secure crop information in order te
determine" and not guess what tht
economic values of the fruit should be

Freddy Graytop was hungry during
the hard, three-day storm. that he
always Jared so badly-for he did
not. Usually he found plenty to eat
in the garbage can and in the back

had moved from the park.
But one thing that he missed was

So, keeping his sharp eyes on the

Now Just at that very same minute,
the little girl who lived in that near

And as she ran, she slipped ON her
mittens ready for a play with her
big brother. So. of course she didn't
pull the door quite shut.
After she was out of sight, Freddy
clipped up to the door and shifted.

SYNOPSIS.

Mary Page. actress, is accused Of the
murder Of James Pollock and is defended
BY her lover, Philip Langdon. Pollock
was intoxicated. Al Mary's trial she ad-
mits she had the revolver. Her maid
testifies that Mary threatened Pollock
with it previously, and Mary's leading
man duplicates Langdon. How Mary dis
appeared from the scene Of the crime IS q
mystery. Brandon tells of a strange hand
sprint he saw on Marys shoulder. Further
Yevidence shows that horror Of drink pro-
Sduces temporary insanity in Mary. The
defense is "repressed psychosis." Wit
nesses describe Mary's flight from her IN
toxicated father and her fathers suicide.
Nurse Walton describes the kidnapping OF
Mary by Pollock and Amy Barton tells
Of Mary's struggles to become an actress
and Pollocks pursuit Of her. There IS
evidence that Daniels. Mary's manager
threatened Pollock. Mary faints on the
stand and again goes insane when po-
hceman offers her whisky. Daniels testl-
des that Pollock threatened to Kill Mary
and Langdon and actually attempted to
kill the latter.

NO. When / asked her, she said it

"Yes, sor. The rope that the man

in that. then he whistled again and the

peared in Winder.

said Langdon; but the Judge leaned
forward with an arresting gesture.

his right to cross examine, for the mo-

Mary, called the second Of his three
