ber Of Commerce? How is it to be
carried out? What is It for?
These are the three questions upper
most in the minds of the majority OF
those who have been informed OF the
movement which the State Chamber
launched april 10th with survey OF
the state TO set up preliminary organ
izatlon and establish direct connec-
ton with practically every community
in the thirty-six counties OF Oregon.
The expansion movement b. way OF
explanation might be divided into three
distinct classes.
These are:
First--A survey of the state.
Second--An educational campaign to
be carried on through local newspapers
and by mailing literature pertaining
to the movement direct TO industries,
firms and individuals interested in the
development OF the state.

his particular community. 1t is be-
lfeved the response will be met by the
manufacturer, the merchant. the farm

The Oregon State Chamber OF Ccnl-

carry on this development work simply
because a state organization OF this
nature can work for the mutual good
OF all communities in the state with

COTTON RECOVERS YESTERDAYS LOSSES
 CLOSES AT ADVANCE

New York, Jan. 15.--Thc cotton market just about recovered ycstcr- days losses during today's trading, closing steady at net advance of 40 to 65 points.
 The opening was steady, 15 points off to 13 points up. near months being relatively easy in response to lower Liverpool cables. Houses with Liverpool connections were sellers at the start while there was a re- newal of Wall street selling on ru- morS that there would soon be an advance in discount rates. Prices however, soon turned firmer on buy ing by foreign and domestic trade interests accompanied by reports of an advancing spot basis and better demand in the South There was very little southern selling here and the market was sensitive to buying orders, which became a little more general during the afternoon on re ports that officials Of the federal reserve board had stated no immc- diate advance in discount rates was contemplated and on the better tone of the stock market.
 Prominent London authorities re iteratc crop estimate of 1.70O, ,000 bales including linters and estimate worlds consumption at 12,500 000.

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, Jan. 15. Strong ad- vances were made by cotton today, mainly because of more favorable au- vices from the spot department al though hope that the peace treaty soon would be ratified by this coun- try had much to do with the early buying, as did cablegrams from Eng land, telling of turn for the bet ter in the railroad labor situatlon. On the opening call during the first trades prices were under the close of yesterday but this small decline was immediately recovered and the market went to net gains which were constantly, though gradually wide ned during the remainder of the ses- sion. Closing prices were at net gains of 57 to 70 points.
 Total clearances today from al, ports were 47,688 bales against s. 435 this day last year

Plant Diseases
 Cost the State Over IF Millions

Little Rock, Jan. "A total loss of more than ST ,5O0,000, due to plant diseases in Arkansas during the year 1919 is the report of Dr:: John A. Elliott, plant pathologist of the Experiment Station, in his an nual summary for the Plant Disease Survey of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. :,
 The larger losses are distributed among the more important crops as follows: Cotton, $s,610,000; corn, s2.510, ,OoO; wheat, $2,O9o,000; Irish potatoes, $1,125,000; apples, $1,O35,- OOO: oats, $925,000; sweet potatoes, S635 ,OOo; peaches, $590,0o0. The balance of the losses is made up in other crops such as rice, tomatoes, cabbage, etc.
 "Losses due to apple and peach diseases are largely controllable," says Dr. Elliott, although the diff culty of control varies greatly with seasonal conditions. Two-thirds oi 1 the loss in oats is due to smuts that could be controlled by the more general use of treated seeds. The | larger losses in wheat were due m most part to leaf rust owing. to the unfavorable season over which the i farmer had no control, Except sucn diseases as may be controlled by crop rotation, the losses due to corn diseases are largely beyond the con trol of the farmer and vary with tht season. The diseases of Irish ant sweet potatoes may be controllee largely by good seed, seed treat ment, crop rotation, good storage and other sanitary measures.
 The diseases of cotton are yer! largely controllablc, although con troi measures have not been put int effect except on small scale. Mos of the diseases which go under thu
 general name of trust" may be con trolled by crop rotation and the us' sue hseed supply is available Il quantity but with our prese,n knowledge there is no reason wn. every one should not be using dis ease.free seed within ten years"

him lightly. This was a new side to him.
 He did not even seem surprised to see me, he was neither glad nor regretful. He merely accepted or affected to accept-my pretense as a matter of fact, not one of pleas ure or interest.
 I saw readily that he was in no mood to make oVertures or to re ceive them. Nor did l make any, for I had done nothing that could force that obligation upon me. Thus our life together began over again with our relations practically as they ha dbeen. ,,5-
 "Hello," said Crittenden, arriving from the office the day came down.
 "Hello," I replied, as briefly as he. Then he hung up his hat and coat and came into the living room with the paper. He sat dwn and be- gan to read. I left the room and did not see him again until dinner was announced.
 We ate in silence save for an oc- casional impersonal reference to the news of the day. In this Crit tenden took the initiative, but in a very independent manner. l could take or leave what he said just as I chose, he seemed to be thinking. l felt convinced he did it to establish for my benefit that he was equal to the occasion of accepting my reap pearance with perfect equanimity. l noticed, too, that he relished his food, which surprised me. For al ways before he had been so dis turbed by our strained relations that he had paid the price of his temperamental indulgences by yield ing his appetite. Not so now, how ever.
 ! "By the way" he said, just before
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1920-01-16

The period of my isolation lasted a week, during which did not see Crittenden at ali. But I heard his footsteps in the house, for he came and went as though nothing in his life had been disarranged or dis ordered. l could hear him when he came in the afternoon, knew when he was at dinner, alone, and I could tell when he ascended the stairs to his den, where he evidently read for an hour or so before retiring.
 Once l heard the telephone bell and him answering it. l did not know who, was calling him but sus- pected it was Jack Langley. At any rate, Crittenden talked1 and laughed over the phone in way that lndl- cated he was perfectly at ease. l could not understand what he was saying, nor was interested In knowing, but his laughter jared a little. It proved that, among other things, he could be indifferent.
 Ellen had brought all my meals to me in daddy's room. She had been very kind to me, for l had been good to her for many years before Crit tenden and I were married and she was appreciative and grateful. She had asked repeatedly if l felt better and if there was anything she could do. had waited for her to tell me that Crittenden had inquired about me, but she had said nothing. Ev- idently, I war forced to conclude, he had made no inquiries. More indlf- ference! And, of course, emerge at length. I found Crittenden unre- pentant, unyielding. Remorse, if il it had come to him, which l now doubted, had left, having touched

There was little more interest noted in the market today and sales were re- ported of 50,000 bags of Cubas to local refiners at 12 cents, cost and freight, for January clearance, and it was also reported that Europe was again in the market in Cuba.

Chicago Grain.

Chicago, Jan. 15.-Uncertainty as to the effect of orders that 70 per cent of grain cars be devoted to the handling of wheat led to a see-saw market today in corn. The close was nervous, Is to 1-2c net higher with May 133 5-8 to 3-4 and July l.31 7-8. Oats gained 3-8 to 5-8c. The outcome in provisions was unchang- ed to BOG up.
 Difference of opinion as to the significance of the method chosen to distribute grain cars was so nearly even that any radical change in the value of corn today seemed to be out of the question. In the end bulls had a slight advantage owing to strength in hog values and to seaboard buying of corn, oats and rye.
 Export purchases of oats totalled 800, ,OoO bushels. Besides 100000 bushels were taken by domestic dis tributors.
 Owing to tardiness of cash de mand, provisions made only a mod crate response to a sharp advance in the hog market.
