I'VE are going to have a raisin day,
said T. E. Batturs to C. E. Smith.
ticket stock clerk, and I want every
Communication ticket on April 80 to be
marked 'Raisin day"
What kind of a raising IS this ~
asked the mystifed Smith. A flag
raising?@
Sir" said Batturs. though I might
have lived in the south for a few years
I have never forgotten the education
received in our admirable schools, and
il 1 had meant that kind Of raising
I would have pronounced the letter
e. No, sir, this raisin day is to teach
the people Of this state the good that
results from a large consumption or
the fruit from Fresno"
Those who are either on friendly
terms with the higher officials of the
Wells Fargo express company, or who
are entitled to the privilege of a
frank will after today no longer en-
JOY the luxury of franking things
either within the state or out of the
state. Dudley Evans has sent a cir
cuiar letter to all holders OF express
company ANIMALS asking their immedi-
ate return, stating that the supreme
court of the United States has handed
down an opinion upholding the injunc-
ton of the circuit court of the United
States FOR the norther ndistrict Of IL
linois restraining express companies
from issuing any frank or other docu-
ment for the free transportation OF
property interstate.
1t remains to be seen whether the
express company will issue any annu-
ais which are good within the bound
aries OF the state.
James Horsburgh Jr., general pas
senger agent of he Southern Pacific,
is now at Fresno helping to organize
a raisin campaign. 1t is understood
that there is a great number of tons
OF raisins unshipped, and the people
of Fresno want to advertise their
raisins largely throughout the state To
this end they will name April 80
"raisin day." and everybody is ex-
pected to consume as many raisins
as he can on that day The Southern
Pacific will print in large letters
across their coupon tickets for April
80 "Raisin day." and as the ticket for
the goth is the last day of the month,
-Raisin day" will stare the commuters
in the face for 80 days.
