"v In Portland, ns in other cities In Oregon and Washington, Governor Cox found that Will II. Hays, national He publican chairman, had anticipated his coming by hnving the Carroll letter, pur porting to link the New Jersey linuor interests with the Cox campaign, displayed prominently in Ilepublicau papers. Inquiry by the governor disclosed to the satisfaction of himself at least the purpose of the Hepublican effort to mag nify the "wet" Issuo in Oregon and Washington. He determined It was because of the very pronounced senti ment for the ratification of the League of Nations and the consequent antipathy in many Hepublican quarters over the position of Senator Harding on the question. Governor Cox will base his plans ac cordingly. He will hammer the Repub lican stand on the lengue in every speech In this state, beginning here today. lie will seek to moke that the para mount issue between himself nnd Hard ing, at least in so far as Oregon is con cerned.

Farmers of Warren county are preparing to de feat the schemes of apple sperulotors by co-operative marketing of the .bulk of their great nnple crop directly to the consumer. Tho county has n crop of fiO.OOO bushels of first-grade apples and probably 100.000 bushels of lower grades, the greatest apple harvest In its history, largely due to the adopting of modern methods of culture on old orchards. The growers have arranged, with the nid of tho state bureau of markets, to start the apples into public markets this week, ' under n program i " jhat' has aroused Interest of farmers and consumers throughout the state. The farmers will sell the first-grade apples, graded under stato supervision, at about $1 a bushel,. in bulk, on the farm. Big trucks will cart the fruit Itr bulk to various cities, where women's clubs nnd other civic organizations have arranged to have it sold from the trucks on the street. The public Will be taken into full con fidence on every cost of tho operation. The amount paid the farmer for the apples, tho price of hauling them to market and any other necessary over- head that must bo adcUd will bo posted. Consumers will be invited to ''come and get 'cm" nt prices thnt will lflean n saving of $1 to $1.50 n bushel, ns com pared with frlut of the same grade in private market. Owing to the high cost of baskets nnd barrels, buyers will be asked to furnish their own con tainers. The Twenty Ounce and the King are tho principal Varieties of. apples to bo sold through the new market scheme. Hoth are highly esteemed as n fall and early winter apple for eating and cook ing.

He came back enthusiastic over our Producer-to-Consumer Plan, for his journey had brought home to both him and his wife a fuller realization of what our Producer-to-Consumer Plan is accom plishing for the house wives in the four States in whjch our Stores are located. He told us that, in all the many towns through which he had passed, he could not find any organ ization that was doing what the American Stores Co. is doing to ward the reduction of liv ing costs. He said to us : "Nowhere in the ap proximately two thou sand miles I traveled did I find any place where the cost of living, qual ity considered, is as low as in an 'Asco' Store." This is gratifying tes timony. It only corrob orates, however, what we had sincerely believed to be the case. In other words, if you were living outside of the four States in which our Stores are located, it would cost you more for your groceries than you are now paying at our Stores. Are you taking full advantage of your opportunity ? Are you reaping the full benefit of our Producer-to-Con-sumer Plan? .Buy all your groceries at an "Asco" Store and you will learn why the Phila delphian and his wife mentioned above return ed with so much enthusi asm for our economy prices.
