Our fire insurance that we renewed this week is for $1,300,000, which shows the value of the property of this association. . “We have orders for 68,000 cases of jam of various kinds, that is esti- mated at $1,000,000. “Our canned fruits and soda foun- tains supplies sold at-the present time are valued at $2,000,000. “Monday the Puyallup cannery turned out 40,000 cans, and the Sum- ner plant about 30,000. That is a large number, and if placed close to- gether would stretch out three miles. “The first blackberries of the sea- son appeared Tuesday, and we are quoting them at $4 a crate. Great Crop “The blackberry crop, in the esti- mate of the farmers, will be the best ever. That is, if the frost did not do more damage than’ we figure. Of course, the blackberries will be We! It is the firx time| ngton, Jcanned in large quantities, and I be. lieve that the retail price will be high. “More pickers are wanted. Nearly jevery rancher could use more pick ers. They can apply at the various farms or to the government employ ment man. “From the standpoint of the far. mer this year is the banner year. He is getting the highest price ever, and is smiling. From the cannery stand- point, it is the largest in the history of the valley. “Formerly our products were sold to large companies and retailed to the consumer under that company's la bels. In 1917 we sold 600,000 cans of jam to the government, that went to France. We have received many con- gratulatory letters, which gave us the idea of selling under our own la- bel. We spent $25,000 in advertisi purposes last year, and this year plan to put the name of Puyallup valley on the map. With our entire products sold, and most of that jam and canned goods that will bear our label, I say that it will be good ad vertising. “Our payroll last Saturday night for the week's work for the men, women and children who do piece: “You have heard that co-opera- tion is not a success, and never will be. Does the above sound like that saying is true? The Puyallup valley farmers are mak- ing money each year; more this year than ever.

FIGHTING FOR ENTIRE TREATY ‘Unqualified Endorsement Is Stand of Administration’ BY L. C. MARTIN (United Press Correspondent) WASHINGTON, July 25.—While senate administration leaders today declared William Howard Taft's sug- gestion of reservations will have no effect on the treaty fight, senators advocating reservations said the for- mer president's attitude will convince the country as nothing else could of the absolute need for reservations, The .administration fight, Senator Hitchcock said today, remains just as it has been—a fight for bs | fied endorsement of every word of the treaty and the league of nations, Arguments against reservations were to be made today in a speech by Senator Pittman, Nevada. While the Taft move continued to day to hold senatorial interest, there was also much discussion of the new clash between the republican nd President Wilson for his failure to submit the spec and to answer three senate lu tions asking for information on the peace treaty. The foreign relations committee to- | | day continued reading the The reading will be finished, at th present rate, early next week. Sih rsiicinese | HOLD MAN SUSPECTED OF BANKBOOK TH R. A.
