idea that their only function is to
produce. So long as they maintain no
control over the distribution, permit
ting their fruit to compete with that
Of their neighbor, they cannot expect
to derive maximum profits from
their production. They are neglect
ing the main essential. Distribution
Is as important, If not more so, than
production. Production will not
prove profitable unless the markets
are created and the distribution con-
troled to prevent competitive prac-
tees.
Can Apply Remedy
development OF the Valley has
been rapid. l presume the growers
already have lost millions Of dollars
through failure to organize to assure
orderly marketing and wider distri-
button of both fruits and vegetables.
It is unfortunate that such eondi-
tons should exist, but they q be
remedied, and that remedy should be
applied without delay.
"What will the Valley growers do
with their fruit when production
mounts into $4,000 to 10000 carloads
annually unless they are organized
to handle this huge production in an
orderly manner? They should con-
slider the fact that organization can
not be accomplished in a few months;
that an organization must be built
up year after year, alterations being
made to melting changing conditions.
Unless they take action imediately
they soon will be in the midst OF
heavy production without markets.
Continuation Of competitive practices
under such conditions would be ruin
ous. In my opinion, every grower
owes IL TO himself and the industry
TO give this matter careful consider
alton and lend his cooperation in Ia
cilitating organization while the fruit
production Of the Valley still is CON-
paratively light"

Set Artists Feet on
Path of Immortality

When Jean Francois Millet French
genre and landscape painter, in the
days of his early career, seemed to be
stumbling into the pitfall of striving
after popular effect it was his grand
mother who led him to the proper
path. Louise Jumelin. widow of Mich
olas MiIlet, was living with the family
of her son, and with anxiety had be-
held for some time the youthful art
lists willingness to paint that which
found the most ready sale.
"Follow the example of that man of
your own profession who used to say
Paint for eternity" she advised him,
"and for no cause whatever permit
yourself to do evil works"
A few years later, in 1867. Millet
was so well established in loftier
ideals that he is found writing, Il con-
tinue to desire only this: To live from
my work and to bring up my children
tittingly: then to express the most pos
sible of my impressions; also. and at
the same time to have the sympathies
of those love well. Let all this be
granted me and shall regard myself
as having the good portion"
AS is well known, this ambition was
realized, and Millet's life was as sim
pie and truly great as any of his Inn,
mortal pictures.-Detroit News.

America is universally looked upon
us the richest nation on earth and an
interesting commentary on how the
wealth of the individual American in
creased, especially during the war, is
shown in the income tax returns dur
ing the same period given in the table
above. In 1913 total of 357,59S re-
turns were filed; in 1914 there were
357,515; in 1915 there were 336,652
and In 1916 437,036. Then came the
sudden wave of prosperity during the
war and in 1917 the number of returns
jumped to 3,472,S90. From then on
there was a steady increase in the
number of individuals who filed income
tax returns. In 1918 there were 4,425,-
ia; 1919 saw $685., $50 filing returns,
peak with 7,259,944. Then revision
of the income tax law caused the num-
Der to drop to 6,662,176 1t rose to
6,7S7, 4S1 in 1922 and then jumped to
7,69S,321 in 1923. In 1924 total of
1897 persons filed income tax re-
turns. In 1925 there was again a
sharp drop in the number of income
tax returns to 4,171,051.
On February 26, 1926, President
Coolidge signed the Revenue Act of
1926, d new law for the year 1928 and
thereafter which fixed the normal tax
rate for individuals at IA, and
) per cent for, net incomes from
$4,000 up to 100000. II also decreased
the surtax rates and increased the
personal exemption of single person
to $500 and of a married person or
head of a family to $500. 1t also
raised to $4,000 the amount of income
which may be considered as earned
and taxed at lower rates. The first
five thousand dollars of net income in
all cases is deemed to be earned
Some interesting facts on the income
tax situation. especially in regard to
the increase in amount of such tax

into falling conditions. She found a
