THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: FEBRUARY 8, 1914. URGE SALE OUOCAL FRUIT Missouri Valley Growers to Adopt New Marketing Plan. WILL MEET ALL OUTSIDERS Aimnctntlnn Which l tu Hp Kormttt Will He linn Upon nn Kronnmlo ItanU nna In CamiirtUIon (a Invnillnc Dcnlcrn. As a culmination of the activities of tho S00 representatives of tlio co-operntlvo marketing associations of Missouri. Kon as, Iowa and Nebraska at tho Inter state conference of fruit growers at Co lumbla, Mo., last' month, commissioners of tho fruit Browcrs aro making exten sive preparations to Inaugurate a cam paign throughout the states of tho Mis. sourl valley. Tho object primarily Is to Induce all farmers to co-opcratn with tho association ln forming affiliating companies and so enable them to mar ket their products at moro reasonable prices, while at tho same tlmo the con sumer does not hayo to pay the fancy prices nojv demanded because of Inef ficient marketing. It la the Intention to comblno all those fruit growers ln u section of territory into one selling association so that all tho products from oil the farms may be murkctcd under tho same brand, in or der to socuro the highest efficiency It was deemed expedient to make each sec tion of territory about sixty miles In radius. Thus with tho present status of. productlpn of fruit In the Missouri val ley there Is need of about five of those stations. Only thoso raisers who grow the finest fruit and glvo a good pack will be admjttcd to tho associations, but It Is expected that all thoso who do not at tho present time glvo a good, firm pack, will fall Into lino when they see the ruccoss of others. In that way tho standard of fruit raised tho Missouri valley will be of superior quality and will bo better able to competo with tho Inrush of fruit from the western states. After a time It Is tliought that all brands could becomo one, tho Missouri valley brand, and. thus It Is hoped to drlvo tho western fruit from the adjacent markets. Tho Eastern Nebraska Fruit Growers' association was represented at the con ference at Columbia by B. J. Pollard of Nehawka, Val Keystcr of Falrbury and C, C. Marshall of Nebraska City. Tho Omaha Fruit Growers' association was represented by J. J. Smith and II. n. Nelson.

Je Is .recognized, as the best In formed man. In the country on rural economics, and will work with C. D. Keellno. of the Missouri river associa tions, in an effort to bring about the establishment of a series of Missouri val ley associations. 11 B Chief Guard of Noted Brigand in This Country DR. I WEATHERLY TO ADDRESS UNITY CLUB Unity club will hold Its next meeting Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock In the lecture room -of the public library, The speaker a. fa meeting will be Dr. Arthur ti. Weatherly of Lincoln, taking ' n hla subjects "iV Soclallsrn V Danger?," When Kalsuli. the famous brigand chief of Morocco, kidnaped Ian Per dlcarls, the American cltlten, 'taho was afterward ransomed for J70.000. the act startled thej whole world and terrorised the population of Morocco. I lame Bol Hazg Shayp of tho "Garden of Allah" company was chief lieutenant of llalsull during tho career of depreda tion of tho famous brigand. In speak ing of that bitter adventure, Hme de clared that llalsull was the- greatest patriot Morocco lias had -and was not n murderer of freebooter, as many thought. "For twelve years I' was his chief guard,-' said Jlame. "and the American citizens who wero captured In 1804 were captured In order to obtain Intervention by foreign powers to put a stop to tho atrocious government of the sultan of our country." "How did ltalsull happen to go Into the brigand business?" llamo was asked. "Ralsull ba:ame separated from his family," was the reply, "because of his eccentric traits. Ho was an aristocrat by birth and breeding, according t.o Moorish notions on that subject, and for tho sake of procuring food after being separated from his family, he began to steal sheep and sell them back to their owners, and he was betrayed to the gov ernment, thrown Into prison, where he remained seven years, chained to a wall. "How did he obtain release?" "Ho was let 6u of loll at the Inter cession of the secretary of the sultan, on condition that Ralsull would become a law-abiding citizen. Dut tho mountain call was too strong for him to resist. Ho was "back at cattle stealing presently and he had a force of nearly fifty men with 'him and I waB mndo head -of tho tribe. ! Tho government sent soldiers to the mountains under Frenoh officers. Tha soldiers refused to go to Mount Zlnat, whero Ralsull's fortress was located. It 'was whllo this proceeding was going on that Ralsull thought ho would make n master-stroke by seizins Perdlcaris and his stepson, Varley, who was a British subject, the Idea being, as I have already said, that we would get tho Morocco government Into trouble with both America and England at once. "Perdlcaris had a handsome villa near tho top of tho mountain, and was called tho wealthiest man In that part of the country and overybody liked him. We had no Intention of doln? harm to him personally. I was loft ln chargo of Tial sull's homo and family with twenty-five men and he took twenty-four with him up to the top of tho mountain." "Was llalsull acquainted personally with Perdlcaris?" "Oh, yes; they Ijave met often; knew each other very woll. Ralsull went up to tho house as a visitor. They sat down to supper and Perdlcaris' was asked to return- tho visit tho same night. Ho de clined at first, but he saw tho point and simply went along with Ralsull. the step son also was taken with them. They were taken down Into a valley, hid away, and Immediately there was a tremendous up roar. "American and British officers threat ened to land men from their warships unless the Morocco government had tha prisoners returned. The sultan was going wu The. GaJKlenofAllaJx to ralso Morocco against Ralsull, but tho message went back saying that 1C the soldiers appeared, both prisoners would bo Bhot, and to that Ralsull added tho agreement to glvo tho men up for $70,- 000." "How did he reach that flguro?" "It was by estimating tho money dam ages Inflicted upon followers of Ralsull, who had been captured by tho pasha of Tangier. Tho sultan sent tho money and tho two prisoners wero released. Tho result was a great victory for the bandit. He got the $70,000, which is a great deal of money ln our country, and he got tho governorship of all tho districts near Tan gier, the release from prison of his fol lowers, and tho removal from offlco of tho men who had been disloyal to him self."" "What was the reason that Ralsull cap turned Sir Henry Maclean, ' called Cald Maclean?" "Cald Maplcan was seized because ho was chief of the bodyguard of tho sultan and ho was taken out of revenge for tho destruction of Mount Zlnat by the sultan's soldiers. It tost $100,000 to got Maclean out of llalsull'n hands." "You wero yourself captured at one time?" tho chief was asked. "Yen, 1 went down over tho mountain ono day to get the malt and got some news of tho outsldo world, and I was caught and thrown Into Jail and stayed there for a year, and when finally Mac lean's freedom was adjusted, 1 was re leased with no less, than 800 other fol lowers at Ralsull." ' "Ralsull Is now chief or twelve tribes Just outatdo tho capital of Morocco. I have myself been reasonably prosperous and haVo some estates Just outsldo of Tangier, but traveling with tho theatrical company Is a convenient way'to seo tho United.' States, In which I 'havo been In terested over slnco I began to know any thing about It." For twelve years Hamo-was tho chlof guard of Ralsull, end this Is the first time tlie lnsldo story of tho famous kid naping caso has been related.
