also in what those chickens are fed

In the evening there was q meeting

president of the Puyallup organization
gave the history of their association.
reviewing the immense business done
during the current year, and telling Of
the thousands of cases Of fruit canned,
and the small amount unsold at the
present time.
The most important topic that Mr..
Hatch discussed during the evening
was the proposition the Puyallup and
Sumner Fruit Growers Association
were willing to make to the local
organization in case the latter decided
to join the former association, instead
OF pursuing the same marketing
policy as in the past. 1t was suggest
Ell that the Vashon association take
out one membership in the Puyallup
association which would give them
equal rights. In case this was done
the Association would lease the local
receiving station and equipment, in
stall additional washing machines, and
cherry pitter in case cherries
brought more preserved by the cold
pack method than canned.
Freight rates on local fruit would
be spread over the entire association,
so that Vashon members would not be |
penalizsd by the greater distance from
the cannery.
All business pertaining to the local
branch would be handled here, fruit |
assembled, weighed, etc., accounts kept.
The local association would be
represented on the Puyallup board OF
directors at all meetings by one of its
directors.
Business expansion is effected BY
money secured through the revolving
fund plan. At the close of the season
so of the seasons net returns is
borrowed from the grower, and in re-
turn he is given negotiable stock,
bearing 6% interest, maturing in five
years. The first of this stock issued
will be redeemed in March of 1880.
All books of the association are
audited each month by a firm of
public accountants, connected in no

Mrs. David Mackie
Is Laid to Rest

Early Sunday morning Mrs. David
Mackie passed away, at her home on
Maury Island after an illness of more
than year. Death came as. q welcome
relief after the months of patient suf.
fering, borne uncomplainingly by this
splendid Christian woman, whose frail
body was dominated by will that
made 1t possible for her to continue
to minister to her loved ones, and per-
form daily duties that would tax n
person in rugged health. Her daily
life was filled with sacrifices for her
husband and brother, James ogilvy,
and she was happy in the knowledge
that she could be help to them
through sickness and health. Since
the death Of his wife several years
ago Mr.. Ogilvy has been a member OF
the Mackie family considerable part
OF the time, and the fact that she
could be of comfort to her brother in
his bereavement was a source of great
satisfaction to Mrs. Mackie. Scottish
by birth and rearing, she possessed
characteristic reserve and honesty of
speech, that held the possibilities of
misunderstanding. but the beauty of
her soul. and the wonderful example
OF her life has created for her a place
that cannot be filled in the lives of
those with whom she came In con-
tact. Although the spoken word of
affection was not considered necessary,
Mr.. and Mrs. Mackie gave greater
evidence Of their devotion to each
other, and to their brother, by their
daily conduct.
