pines to Porto Rico. roga
For that date will be Raisin Day,
Here is the story of the how and
why of Raisin Day: eii
Fresno county, California, Lies
In the middle of the San Joaquin
valley. The San Joaquin is the
great centray valley Of the Golden
lttate. ne
Fresno is one of the richest
counties in the United States, and
the city of Fresno Ia called the hub
of the valley.
Although the value of all the
products of the county is valued
each year at between $25, 100000
and $29,000,000, and the revenue
derived from the vineyards is not
a fifth of that amount, the raisin
industry is, nevertheless, the
source of Fresno's fame. The great
vineyards stretch for miles In ev-
cry direction beyond the city linn
its.
Until the close-fisted times of a
year ago the growers prospered
and each succeeding season
brought greater returns. But last
season "fell down" completely.

White Bread and Poker Chips

You read in The Times, the other day. the
Interview Dorothy Dale had at Chicago with Pat
ten?
Let's see just what was it Patten saidf
Our wheat crop is going to be short There
is short crop in South America, where much OF
the wheat for Europe is grown. That meant that
our wheat would be bought up for export and
leave the United States with no wheat at all. I
put the price of wheat up to keep it from being
sent out of the country. 1t was simply protect
ing our necessary home product, just as a tariff
would have DONE
II don't believe bread will go above cents
a loaf and 6-cent leaf is better than no bread"
There Is no good reason to doubt that Pat
ten believes all that. He believes 1t as Baer be-
lieves that divine providence made him and his
fellow coal kings (whO never dug pound of
coal) to be the God-anointed custodians of ma
lures storehouse in the anthracite coal fields.
He believes it as does Gary of the steel trust,
who begs for a tariff on steel Ito protect Amer
lean labor" The tariff permits the trust to
charge Americans $3S per ton for rails which
are shipped to England and sold in competition
with the world at $29.66 per ton. Is the wage
scale figured on the basis of $38 ton or 500 a
ton? And II the latter. wherein is labor pro-
tectedr
But to get back to Patten. He Is saving us
from going without bread by making the price
80 high that Europe can't afford to eat.
Thinking that Europe might buy our bread
away from us, he corners the wheat himself and
doles It out bushel by bushel to us.
Thrice blest are we in our vigilant guardians
and volunteer protectors and advocates of protec-
Listen to what United States Consular Agent
Davis says:
"As a general proposition, flour milling in
Europe Is not handicapped by undue or violent
fluctuations in wheat. Markets inclined to
stability. They are less susceptible to daily
change in values that in recent years has char
acterized the grain markets of the United States.
In Europe the function of wheat is conceded to
be the ultimate production of flour for human
food"
What simple, old-world thought!
The function of wheat is bread!
AS we'll say the function OF stocks is to rep
resent ownership, or of cotton to make cloth.
Are not these things far better than chips
on the gaming table of the stock and grain
gambler who neither plants wheat nor picks cot
ton nor builds mills employs labor?
why, indeed, is it not a holy thing for Pat
ten to tax us a penny a loaf on wheat that the
farmer raised and sold at a low price last year,
because Patten believes that the crop yet I'M
grown is going to be short one?
