LOGAN growers
WILL ATTEMPT
TO FIX PRICES

bduDerIy ceHlerS Oh the state, In
session yesterday at the offices OF
the Oregon Growers Cooperative
association to discuss ways and
means beneficial to the loganberry
interests, voted unanimously on
two propositions.
The first was: New organiza-
4 tion of loganberry growers to offer
its berries to canneries at a price
to be agreed upon by committee
made up Of all growers in the or
ganization; present cooperative
associations to fill their contract
requirements; surplus berries to
be dried and pooled from all or
ganizations; advertising to be car
Tied by all organizations"
Sub Unions Provided.
Combined with the above propo-
sition was the following: Each
community of loganberry growers
to organize and then come under
general organization under con-
tracts that will hold"
The proposition that the new
loganberry organization should be
Independent and form its own
sales organization was rejected by
the delegates.
A combination Of all loganberry
growers in the state, many acting
through their own local organiza-
tions, was approved as the most
likely means of placing the in
dustry on sure footing, all to
finally act under one central or
ganization.
Just how this Is to be accom-
plished was left to committee
consisting Of delegates from the
leading loganberry centers, which
will met Wednesday morning, De
cember 27, at the offices of the
Oregon Growers Cooperative asso-
citation. This committee is com

Europe and the Turk.

|LOCDY skies of Eastern Europe again, it ap-
- pears are to be lit with the baneful green
crescent OF Mohammed.
Allied foreign minister's after five days consd-
Grafton at Paris, have proposed such generous mod
ihcations OF the treaty of Sevres that the Sublime
Porte can hardly reject them. Many polite ex-
plantations will be forthcoming as to why Constan-
tinople should again lie under the flag of Turkey
1t will require many polite explanations to con-
vince most Americans that the new terms are any
thing more than equalization to the growing I'M
rest evident throughout the Moslem world
America hardly view the proposals Of the
allied ministers in a spirit Of harsh criticism how
The who drew them up are nearest the
scene. They are probably the most competent men
in the world to judge what steps are most needed
to prevent cataclysmic contest between East and
West which might mean the end Of civilization.
Recent events in India, in Egypt in Arabia and in
Turkey itself indicate all too plainly that the
descendants of the old Saracens are getting ready
to turn in resent'zeS against the inferiority to
which they hav, been forced for centuries
America hsrSS view the new proposals,
the silken clad hand held forth to Turkey harshly
They are perhaps for the best. But the average
American does view them with sorrow 1t is Just
anot of ideals shattered 1t is lust an
other proof that the lives lost the gold we lost
the toll we lost did not suffice to bring about the
golden age.
The OF Jesus, through the past twenty
centuries has stood for little indeed we fear in the
dealings of nation with nation-lcss BY far than in
the dealings OF man with man. Statesmen OF all
races and all Christian sects have ever been prone
forget the teachings OF Christ in the exigencies
of politics.
The crescent Of Mohammed has meant great
deal, very great DEAL in the policies and acts of
the statesmen who were born and reared under its
influence. 1t stands for exactly the opposite inter
national creed from the cross. 1t can never mean
peace earth and good will until all who follow
any other gods dead.
So America only view the readmission of
Turkey to Europe with The individual
Turk, say all who have met him, is almost always
polished, hkeable gentleman. The collective
Turk, and all who have come in contact with him
agree to this also, is the ratlesnake of humanity
Perhaps it is better treat with the child of
Mohammed now. Certainly it is better if such
policy will stays off war for long time But the
reri5ru crescent i'll the cloudy Eastern Skies never
rheless, throws reflection of tragedy over the bat
tered stage OF the world.

Darwinism and Evolution.

VIILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN, Wilbur
w Glenn Voliva, a respectable number OF the
Kentucky legislature, and various and sundry 9TH
ers, have raised considerable hubbub of late over
teaching Darwinism in the public schools. This, Of
course, refers to State universities where such things
form part of the curriculum.
Now, while all this has been going on Wash,
ington scientists, especially prominent anthropolo-
gists connected with the Smithsonian Institution
and the National Museum, laughing up their
sleeves. The foes OF Darwinism have taken a few
sharp cracks at unnamed individuals. Some of the
Washington suspect that they are the persons
meant.
The question they ask is Do Mr.. Bryan, Mr..
Vova and the others, know the difference between
Darwnism and evolution? If they mean what
they say-Darwinism-then the scientists declare
they are thoroughly in accord. They do not be-
lieve in teaching Darwinism in the public schools
and want to know where it is being taught.
On the other hand, they say if evolution is
meant that is another matter. Darwinism, accord
tonists, lived long time ago and times have
moved fast since he wrote a book which has been
mischievousy interpreted as saying that men are
the direct, lnea descendants OF monkeys.
They agree that Darwin made some rather
amateurish conclusions from the facts ha had at
hand Evolution, they say, has progressed a long
ways since the Voyage of the Beagle and to teach
Darwnism would be almost foolish as to use
Copernicus as text book in astronomy.

much for the truly disabled men.

that the plea of the disabled will

that totally and permanently

served the same as regular Of

Frenchman gives voice TO sentiments inspired by
the grand passion. invoking Columbine to open
her window for the love of heaven. The German
trolls forth stout stave relative to the merits of
Munich beer and scenes along the Rhine. The
Balkan native has heart-stirring ditties of plant

IF one assumes that a band OF ten
