ANNOUNCEMENT PARTY

One of the most charming affairs
of the season was the announcement
party on Monday evening given by
Miss Rubye Lane in the home of her
parents, No. III Fifth street. The
guests included members of the
Laffalot Club and a few friends. In
contests, Miss Sadie Johnston and
Miss Margaret Barnett, of Peirce
City, won prizes. At the close of the
evening delicious refreshments were
served. The color scheme of pink and
white was successfully carried out in
the decorations for the dining room,
table and in the refreshment course.
Pink and white carnations and chrys-
anthemums were the flowers used,
and in the center of the table
was q miniature bride and
groom. The bride was daintily
gswned in white silk with
white net wedding veil which formed
a long train and which was confined
in coronet fashion with pink and
white buds. They stood under can
opy of ferns. A large pink wedding
bell suspended over the table. Small
pink baskets filled with pink and
white mints and a pink rose bud were
given as favors. The place cards

MARKETING BERRIES

A determined effort will be made
by the Ozark Fruit Growers associ-
alton to bring all of the small berry
growers associations in the Ozark
district into one strong organization.
1t is claimed that on the last years
small crop the growers lost thous-
ands of dollars because of inadequate
marketing facilities. Buyers were out
able to play one community against
another, beating down prices.
With the prospect of bumper ber-
ry crop next year, the subject of
marketing takes on additional inter-
est.
1t is argued with one strong cen
tral selling organization having the
entire crop at it's disposal, uniformly
better prices would be obtained. This
has been the experience of the CO.
operative marketing organizations on
the Pacific coast where cooperative
marketing has been developed to a
far greater extent than in the Ozark
region.
One factor contributing to the fail
ure of Ozark berry growers to sup
port big central selling association,
it is said has been conflict of
interest of job-seekers. Each COM
munity can be depended upon to furn-
ish numerous applicants who can ad-
vance an argument why they
should be employed to handle the
selling of the crop.
The co-opertive marketing move
ment is still in its infancy in the
Ozark territory. 1t is destined to-
grow, however, and with experience
the growers ultimately will turn to
one big sales organization that can
and will dominate and control the
situation for the best interest of the
individual grower. - Springfield

and took up her residence in their
property where she was living at the
time of her death. She was Mr..
Decks second wife. There are no
children. Next to her husband the
closest surviving relative is a sister
