ably is less than half, and in many in
stances a great deal less than half. the
usual retail selling price.

fore the close of the month.

than a weeks time is necessary to sell
each and all of them at these unprece-
dentedly low prices.

is the fact that the members of the
farmers union are heartily in accord
with the Raisin day movement. They
have taken hold in earnest and turned
the energies of their locals toward ad-
vancing the interests of this day. w.
w. Welch, state organizer of the
farmers union, has given his hearty
Endorsement to the movement and is
one of its most earnest advocates.
Welch has been in the Santa Clara

The local members of the Raisin

OLDEST ARTICLE OF DIET
AS an article of diet the raisin is
perhaps the oldest of any known on
the market The first time that it is
mentioned in the bible is in the writ
ings of Samuel about $500 years B. c.
Since then it has been a favorite arti-
Gle of food among all nations of the
old world. Some of these countries
consume six times as many raisins as
the people of the United Stataes.
In Fresno county seven n-eighths of
the raisins produced in the United
States are grown. The remaining one
eighth is produced in the Sacramento
valley and in southern California. Be
cause OF the fact that Fresno county is
advertising the entire state of Califor-
MIA wnile advertising raisins it has re-
ceived practically the unanimous sup
port of every organization and business
interest in the state.
There are $1,000 acres in growing
vines in that county. The average pro-
duction is a ton an acre, making a total
average production for a year of 132,-
100000 pounds, or about a pound and
a half per capita for every man. woman
and child in the United States. The
people of this country eat only half of
the production of the San Joaquin val
ley, the average being three-fourths of
a pound for every man, woman and
child in the country. In some OF the
European countries the average is az
high as five pounds per capita.

The Return of the Ships.

The world-encircling voyage of the
American fleet came safely to an end
when the sixteen batteships, under
Admiral Sperry, having finished the
last run of 5000 miles from Gibraltar,
dropped anchor in Hampton Roads in
February. Here the entire fleet, in
GLIDING the escorting third squadron of
the Atlantic fleet, under Rear-Admiral
Arnold, was reviewed by President
Roosevelt on February o. 1t was ex-
actly one year and sixty-eight days be-
fore that the president had started the
fleet off from this same port on it's
famous cruise around the world In
this period the ships covered distance
of approximately $4,000 miles, touched
at many ports in South America, Aus
tralia, Japan, China, and points in the
Mediterranean, and received every
where the most gratifying welcome
from private and official sources. In
every way the cruise has been pro-
nounced success. Not single accident
married the course of the entire voyage.
In fact, the ships, in the opinion of the
commanding officer, returned home in
even better condition than when they
steamed away. The experience has
been a valuable one for officers and
men, The fleet the words of Adj
miral Sperry, has found itself, the
long and harmonious service together
having vastly increased the working
efficiency of each individual unit and
their combined effectiveness as a fleet.
This American naval achievement has
set new standards for various phases of
naval efficiency. Foreign nations have
observed it with keen interest, while to
the American people it has been a
source of pride as well as an object les
son in the value of an effective naval
force. The Presidents action in dis
patching the battleships on this un-
precedented cruise has been fully justi-
fled by its excellent results. From
