USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS VOL. VIII EIGHT PAGES Now and Then By The Editor THE PORK BARREL; SQUANDERING MONEY. Before the war, the rivers and harbors appropriation bill was the grab-bag of the politicians. Congressmen secured appropriations for mudholes in their states where a ship could not possibly navigate. Dredges and crews of men were put to work in shallow waters that were absolutely impossible as channels of commerce. That wasteful expenditure of money was what people called "the pork barrel." One Congressman or Senator would vote for the appropriation in trade for a vote on another appropriation and so on. As a matter of fact, it is safe to say that not more than 50 cents on every dollar of the billions spent for river and harbor improvements in this country has been spent in useful and prudent development of rivers and harbors. We are now facing a new pork barrel. Rivers and harbors have been worked to death. This new one is the naval bill which anticipates the construction of the greatest navy in the world. Of course building battleships gives employment to many men, and it also makes dividends for armament manufacturers, but in face of the desire of the President for economy, and the desire of the people for disarmament, we cannot see the sense of spending millions for new STEWART FRUIT COMPANY IN BIG MERGER Becomes Marketing Agent for Oregon Growers by Recent Deal AN IDEAL CONDITION The Stewart Fruit Company, operating in this city has been made the marketing agent of Rogue River valley fruit at Medford, Oregon, and will handle and market 75 to 85 per cent of the tonnage of apples and pears grown in that district. George A. Charters, vice president of the Stewart Fruit Company is in the city, and through W. H. Johnston, district manager, announced the merger which puts the marketing of Oregon fruits above mentioned in the hands of the Stewart Company. According to Mr. Johnston means much to the growers of Orange county who market through the Stewart Fruit Company. The Medford, Oregon, Mall Tribune in commented on the merger says: "What is described by leading fruit growers here as a condition approach..." OLD FASHIONED MOTHERS; LIFE OF THE NATION. In New York yesterday, Susette, a chimpanzee born in captivity lost her baby. After spending much time on the stage, wearing corsets, low neck dresses, high heeled shoes and other modern "get-together" stuff worn by women, Susette lost all knowledge of bringing up her baby and it died. She held it close to her while it lived because she was bewildered and did not know how to care for it. She was born away from her native land and her native haunts. That is why the baby died. The representatives of the people in Washington used to work the pork barrel undisturbed. The people knew little of what was actually being done with their money. Today, we are confronting the greatest national debt in the country's history, while Congress goes about squandering money for battleships and preparing for wars that please God, will never be fought. The people of the United States do not want "fancy" spenders in Congress. They want men who think, and men who do not think in dollars. Write to your Congressman and Senators and ask them to use every legitimate means to check the leak in the national treasury. It is far more important to care for our ex-service men and their widows and orphans than to build battleships. If you don't write, your representatives-in Congress will think you don't care, just as they thought when the old rivers and harbors pork barrel was on the job. The Medford, Oregon, Mall Tribune in commented on the merger says: "What is described by leading fruit growers here as a condition approaching the ideal in the marketing of Rogue river valley fruits is contained in the announcement made today of the deal whereby the Oregon Growers Cooperative association for the local district acquires control of the Bardwell Fruit company and the Stewart Fruit company becomes the marketing agent for the combined interests. This announcement is authorized by Colonel Gordon Voorhies, vice-president and chairman of the local district of the Oregon Growers. This arrangement, according to Voorhies will place from 75 to 85 per cent of the tonnage of both apples and pears grown in the Rogue river valley through one marketing agency. In the amalgamation the association acquires the packing houses and other facilities of the Bardwell Fruit company and will operate them this year at least without change either in the methods or personnel of the administrative force. Ralph Bardwell becomes an officer of the Stewart Fruit company. For the present season at cast the association will operate the Bardwell Fruit company entirely independent of its members' affairs. Bardwell will remain in the Medford district as a representative of the Stewart Fruit company at least until the expiration of the present packing and shipping season. Afterwards, Bardwell plans to spend the major portion of his time in California, although he will maintain his home here in Medford. I consider this the biggest forward step ever taken by the fruit growers of the valley," said Colonel Voorhies today. With from 75 to 85 per cent of all the tonnage in the hands of the Stewart Fruit company there is no doubt in my mind but what most of the price slashing in district manager, announced the merger which puts the marketing of Oregon fruits above mentioned in the hands of the Stewart Company.

After spending much time on the stage, wearing corsets, low neck dresses, high heeled shoes and other modern "get-together" stuff worn by women, Susette lost all knowledge of bringing up her baby and it died. She held it close to her while it lived because she was bewildered and did not know how to care for it. She was born away from her native land and her native haunts. That is why the baby died. Far be it from the Herald to compare Susette with modern mothers but at the same time, there is a lesson in Susette's case and in the grief that no doubt Susette is suffering as a result of the loss of her baby. Had she been brought up with other chimpanzees in their native haunts, she would have known how to care for her little stranger. There is a tremendous loss of infants in this country, and a most horrible loss of young mothers. The reason of this abnormality as expressed in the death of infants, and their mothers is because girls who all hope eventually to become mothers go into the mystery with a blindfold. Their mothers do not take them into their confidence as they should, and as a result, they are more or less helpless when the little strangers come along. The old fashioned mothers must come again. Motherhood is the crowning glory of a woman's life but in this generation, to a very large extent, young mothers are not fully acquainted with the responsibilities surrounding motherhood, and like Susette, are practically helpless when the time comes to give the little strangers proper care. A training school for mothers can very easily be a popular and practical department of women's clubs.

The ceremony was a very impressive one throughout and every single solitary new Elk, when asked how he liked it, quickly responded, "I like it."

The police "bomb squad" was said to have discovered a plot more than a year ago to start mutinies among the crews of merchant men, seize the ships and take them to bolshevik ports. This information, it was stated, was turned over to the department of justice at the time. Much of the information was alleged to have been obtained in a raid in which 300 men and women were arrested. Many of these have since been deported. REPORT STRANGERS TO SHERIFF JACKSON Sheriff C. E.

Dawes Will Call Men of Nation to Assist in Framing Budget for the U.S. Government WILL HAVE TO SERVE WITHOUT PAY, HE SAYS WASHINGTON, June 2—A large force of the nation's leading business men, possibly 100, will be "conscripted" to serve without pay in putting the government on a business basis, Charles G. Dawes, Chicago, announced on his arrival here today after a conference with President Harding. Dawes arrived today to take up the job of director of the budget. Dawes said "pitiful machinery provided by the budget law" for this task makes it necessary to rely on volunteer assistants. Only four men are given him under the law, he said. "One might as well be handed a toothpick with which to tunnel Pikes Peak," Dawes declared. "It is evident that if this, this greatest business placed on something else than the pitiful machinery provided by law." "I am therefore accepting the position of director of the budget only with the idea that the patriotism of the bureau chiefs and the country as a whole can be so aroused in this emergency that it will be met as was the emergency of war four years ago." "Unless the bureau chiefs and the leading business men of the country respond to call of the president as thmey did four years ago, the situation is hopeless, so far as any material relief for two years is concerned from this course." Dawes spent an hour with Harding and then issued a statement outlining his plans. CONFEDERATION WITH PRESIDENT HARDING. Dawes arrived today to take up the job of director of the budget.

CAMPING GROUND FOR SCOUTS WILL BE ON SANTA ANA Boy scouts of Orange county are mountain scouts. That is, they prefer mountains to seashore. For that reason, scouting officials are considering the establishment of a summer camp on the Santa Ana river. A few days ago it was reported that there was a fine camping site at the mouth of Aliso canyon. Many of the boys reported to their scout-masters that they go to the beaches frequently for outings a day at a time, and because they do get to the beach often they wanted the summer camp to be in the alps. Scout Executive E. E. Heldt yesterday looked over a number of possible sites along the Santa Ana river where the boys can have swimming and mountain hiking combined. The question of a site will be determined at a meeting of the county council of the Boy Scouts tomorrow evening. SEEKING DAMAGES RESULT OF SALE A civil action to collect $417 damages, including the cost of a plow, alleged to have been bought of J. E. Walters and Company, of this city, by J. F.

CIVIC DINNER WILL BE FEATURE CIVIC DINNER WILL BE FEATURE EXPANSION CAMPAIGN OF CHAMBER OF COMMERCE DURING COMING WEEK A civic dinner of extraordinary proportions is one of the features that is proposed for the expansion campaign of the Chamber of Commerce. Friday, July 1st, at 6:30 p.m. is the tentative date set this great event, though the place has not definitely been decided upon at this time. The arrangements committee, which has charge of the affair, consists of Vic La Mont, A. L. Nowotny and Leslie Wilson. This trio of live wires promise a meeting and program of that will make a lasting impression on the community life and spirit of Anaheim. The civic dinner, as outlined, will be the culmination of the campaign to give Anaheim a large, more efficient and more effective commercial organization. It is planned to seat four or five hundred guests if a hall of sufficient size can be obtained to accommodate that number. The dinner itself, the entertainment and the speaking will all be of the highest order and the best that can be secured for the occasion. Anaheim never does things by halves, so this event can be looked forward to with great anticipation by all. The furnishing of speakers for the occasion will be in the hands of the speakers committee consisting of Homer Ames, Tom McFadden and J. A. Clayes. This assures a program from that angle of unusual merit. When the appointments on the campaign committee were published yesterday, an omission of three names was inadvertently made. The members to be added are E. Zitamann, A. Nagel and A. Thomas. The announcement of other committees will be made as soon as possible. Likewise the details regarding the civic dinner will be given through the press at an early date. Everything is going fine," said Campaign Manager Schouboe. "There is certainly a splendid group of live wires in Anaheim. Everywhere splendid encouragement is being given to the movement to create the most efficient commercial organization possible in this city. It is sure to work here with such excellent group of citizens."
