EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON

A group of us, of which a newspa
per artist was one, were discussing
things journalistic the other day and
the conversation turned upon the work
of several of his brother artists.
With each one who was named he
had some fault to find.
The technique of the first was rot

The faces that the second drew hal
no expression
The third had no sense of motion.
The fourth was a fairly decent
draughtsman, but didn't have a real
snappy idea once a month.
And so on.
Now, all these criticisms may have
been absolutely fair and just. 1 am
not enough of an artist to judge
whether they were or not.
But even if they were absolutely
merited. that could not prevent the in
stinctive feeling that swept over all OF
us that this man was jealous of the
men he criticised.
Never run down the achievements of
any one in the same line of work that
you are.
1t doesn't pay.
If you must show your criticeI abil-
ity. show it in regard OF some kind Of
work that you do not do. for other

Carl Lawson Arrests Negro Who
Treats Court to Choice Gems.

Police Officer Carl Lawson, who
watches things in the vicinity of the
Santa Fe depot, varied his usual oc-
cupation of looking for professional
crooks coming in on the trains by
gathering up Caleb Jackson who sub
sequently furnished more fun for police
court than that dignified body has had
in weeks. Caleb is black and has a
penchant for big words as we'll as a
tooth for whisky of any kind.
He had been moistening his molars
in some of Kansas City's worst ex-
portation instead of attending strictly
to his business as roustabout at the
depot. His conduct annoyed Pat Sher-
man, the veteran depot master, who
told him to go away. Caleb rose with
inebriate dignity in police court and
told what happened.

EMPoRIA BOY MAKES GOOD.
William S. CuIbertson Wins $3.50
Essay Prize at Yale.

Emporia, Kan, June 23.-William
Smith Culbertson, who wrote the $3.50
prize essay at Yale, is the son of DR..
and Mrs. George Culbertson of En-
pora, and was graduated from the
College of Emporia in 1907, and won
a prize in the state oratorical contest.
In 1908 he was graduated from Yale,
and that year took special work in
sociology and economics at Leipsic,
Germany. This year he completed a
similar course at Yale, for which he
received his degree of Phi. B. Mr..
Culbertson has been employed by the
tariff board to go to Germany to make
Investigations into the cost of produc-
ton of certain articles abroad.
Billy Culbertson is an indefatigable
worker, and in his college course in
Emporia he took up every line of
school activity. He was an enthus-
last in baseball and football at college;
he was a leader in the Y. NJ. c. A.,
he taught a Bible class; one year he
"did" college notes on the Emporia
Gazette, and always he found time to
make friends. His winning of the prize
essay contest at Yale is no more than
this town expected of him.
Mr.. Culbertson's younger brother,
Alexander Culbertson, was also at
Yale last year. DR.. and Mrs. George
Culbertson, with their two younger
sons, George and Paul. are in New
Haven for commencement.

TAG DAY NEWS.
Workers Get Their Instructions This
Afternoon

This afternoon scores of women and
girls are meeting in GemmelI hall to
receive instruction in regard to what is
expected of them on Tag day. They
compose the small army of Tag day
workers, and are being taught just how
to cope with the various people they
ask on Saturday to buy tags.
Last year the girls seemed to thor
oughly enjoy the novel experience of
soliciting funds in this way, and for
the most part they looked upon the
funny side of things. They are almost
without exception treated in a courte-
Gus manner, but they told of the anus

tight wads" of the city-and we have
a few of them-in order to get out of

EGGS IN COLD STORAGE.
Newark, N. J., Has Purchased Forty
Five Million Since April 4.

Newark, N. J., June 23.-Forty-five
million eggs have been shipped into
this city since April 1 and placed in
cold storage by the warehousemen to
remain there until the high prices of
last winter are duplicated. The eggs
come mostly from Indiana, Michigan
and Ohio. They were purchased at an
average of 231s to 24c dozen. Two
cents a dozen is added to cover insur-
ance, storage costs, etc, which brings
the total cost UP to about &c cents a
dozen.
If the eggs can be retailed in New
York next winter at As cents q dozen
which they fetched last winter-there
will be a profit of 10 cents a dozen or
total of something over 100000.

AUTO TIRES WILL GO UP.
Scarcity of Rubber Advances Them %
Per Cent.

New York, June 23.-Automobile
tires win take an upward jump of 20
or 25 per cent in price after July L.
The increase in the price comes as a
direct result of the constant drain
upon the small reserve of rubber now
held in the European markets. Two
months ago, there was a market sup
ply of 5000 tons of rubber, of which
$500 tons were held abroad. Today
the total supply is 1000 tons and prac-
tically all of it held abroad.

probably, which was more general
ly believed by the men who adopted
1t than most mass meeting resolu-
lions are. After sessions extending
over several days the meeting re-
suited in the organization of the
first exchange-the Orange Grow
ers' Protective Union.
Buyers Disrupt the Union.
Results the first year were
good" says F. G.. Story, now presi-
dent of the big exchange, "but buy
ers who had profited by the old
state of decentralization hammered
away at the new organization and,
by tempting growers here and there
with large prices, were able to
break into the field so that in a
short time they held control. Then
the shipping firms divided the ter
ritory among themselves, and the
grower had to sell to the firm to
whom he was parceled out. He de-
livered his fruit to the packers and
blindly awaited results. I sold my
crop on the trees, in 1892, for ten
cents a box. 1t had cost me fifty
cents box to raise it. One didn't
have to look far to see the end Of
the orange business on that basis"
In a great many cases, it is de-
clared, growers who shipped their
fruit in that season of 1928 not
only received no money return what
ever, but had to go down in their
pockets to make up a deficit on the
freight charges.
In the spring of 1898, as might
be expected, growers were conven-
ing again Meetings were held in
Los Angeles, and a good many as
sociations were formed. According
to the plan then followed, growers
so near together that all of them
could, conveniently rearh the same
shipping point would organize a To-
cal association which would build
and equip a packing house at the
shipping point. The local associa-
tons financing was extremely SIM
pie. The packing house, with its
machinery, would probably cost ten
thousand dollars. Some large ones
have cost forty and even fifty thou
sand dollars. Usually, several fore
handed members of the association
advanced the necessary sum and the
association reimbursed them by
levying a tax of so much a box on
the fruit handled. Sometimes the
association would pay back the
whole amount advanced in a single |
year. In other cases payments were
spread over a series of years.
Next, the associations in con-
tiguOus territory were grouped to- |,
gether and a district exchange or
ganized, composed of one represen-
tative from each local association |
in the territory. The local associa-
lions attended to the grading and |
packing of the fruit, while the dis
trict exchange managed the selling |

change was formed, with one direc.
tor from each district exchange, to
manage the selling of all the fruit
produced by the associated growers
In 1905, upon the reorganization
which will be mentioned again, the
name was changed to the California
Fruit Growers Exchange, which i,
still bears. The structure, however,
remains substantially the name and,
excepting the unlucky experiment
that brought about the reorganiza-
ton, the growth of the association
has been quite steady.
Cooperative Packing.
There is still the threefold organ
ization. First, there are ninety-six
local or growers associations, each
composed of individual growers in
a given neighborhood, who elec+
their board of directors. The asso-
citation owns it's packing house at
the shipping point. The individual
member delivers his fruit, as it
comes from the trees, at the pack
ing house. There the oranges are
poured into a broad, clothbottomed
trough and rolled down to a set of
revolving brushes which clean and
burnish them. Then a little eleva-
tor conveys them up to another
broad trough, where a couple of in
spectors throw out any unfit fruit
Rolling past the inspectors, the Or
anges come to pair of carriers
that gradually widen. When an
orange reaches that point where the
carrier is wider than itself, it drops
through into bin. This is for the
purpose of grading them as to size
Before the bins stand young women
who deftly seize the orange in one
hand and a square of stamped It's
sue-paper in the other. and thus,
with a single swipe, as one might
say, wrap the fruit and deposit it
in the shipping bOX-which you are
familiar with as it stands in front
of your grocery, bearing bright
label with the name of the brand
and a picture of an orange tree or
an Indian maiden or distant
as the case may be.
Pooling the Crop.
All the fruit brought to the pack
ing house in a fortnight or month
is pooled, or sometimes the pool
certain portion of the
ten per cent-to be de-
livered within certain period
Whatever the pool period may be,
every member of the association
gets the same price for fruit of the
same grade delivered within the
period-this price being, of course,
the average price received by the
association for that grade of fruit.
Next, there are fourteen district
or sub exchanges, the directors of
which are elected by the local as
sociations in the territory that the
district exchange covers. Finally
there is the big or central concern

change-managed by a board oil
