Fruit and Economy

The prospect for a generously
sufficient crop OF fruits of vari-
Gus kinds is said by the expert
torecasters to be good. Cherries,
peaches, plums. apples and til.
berries are expected to be plent. :
full. With this in mind. the fed
eral government bureaus concern
ed with such matters and Socie.
ties of one kind and another
formed for the Letterment of 1iv-
ing conditions are urging that
time be taken by the forelock and
preparations made for conserv-
ing more of the fruit crop than
ever heretofore. All of us know
that the waste in our fruits is
enormous.
Before autumn is again at hand
it is predicted that the cost OF
living will be even greater. All
the staples, it is said, will adj
vance in price, and, at the san. e
time, everything required by hui
nan beings, not only to feed
item, but to clothe and shsl
t.r them, will follow the upward
Course of the food cost. The dol
lar that Buys less now than it
bought year ago is likely to
buy still less six months hence.
Nor is there any prospect of a
downward trend within the year
Even should peace come to Eu-
rope, it is the opinion of those
we'll qualified to judge that high
prices will continue.
There is, accordingly, more
need now than in the past to
make provision for the future
And more need to put an end to
the extravaganza and waste that
hitherto have marked our handl-
ing of the fruit crops especially
There should be few reports tlli'
year of peaches, pears, cherries.
plums and apples rotting on the
trees or on the ground. The
surplus should be preserved.
Growers can equip themselves
at little cost with portable pre-
serving outfits, and. with theiI
use, convert loss iuto profit. The
housewife, at the same time,
whether OF the city or the coun-
try, is advised by the government
and by the various organizations
to increase her store
OF preserves" of every sort.
The wisdom of this advice i.
evident. We have already fell
the effects of the great war-w,
are, from day to day, in every
thing we purchase, making ouI
financial contribution to the ha,.j
&c and devastation that the war
produces. The need of doing
something to offset the higher
cost of living is obvious. Wei
IAN serve ourselves and the world
1t large in no better way than
,y eliminating waste that is, |
very year, an appa ling extrav-
lgance without excuse or reason.

GREAT EPISCOPAL
MEETING NEXT MONTH

Women from all over tho United
States and from lands beyond the seas
will be present in thousands at the
General Convention of the Episcopal
Church, to be held at st. Louis In
October. Each Of the sixty-eight do
cesar branches of the Woman's Aux
iliary to the board of missions is en-
titled to send five delegates to the
missionary conferences and meetings
connected with the convention. and
delegates will also be present from
China, Japan, Africa, Cuba. Porto
Rico, the Philippines and Honolulu.
Their meetings will be held in the
Sheldon Memorial Building. where,
every day. mission study classes will
meet to be followed by conferences
addressed by mission workers from
all parts of. the world. At the noon
hour all work will be suspended for
the offering of special prayers for
missions.
The climax will be the great service
to be held in Christ Church Cathedral
on October IL for the presentation OF
the Women's United Offering. Dur
ing the past three years the women
of the church have distributed thou
sands Of mite boxes for small gifts to
missions. These are opened twice a
for the triennial united Offering At
this servioe each Diocesan missionary
district will place in the aims basin
its gift. The Total at the General Con-
vention Of 1913 was $3o6,50o. and It Is
expected that amount will be exceed
ed this year. Considerable rivalry
exists between the dioceses as to
which makes the largest contribution.
In 1913 the diocese Of Pennsylvania
led the way with an altering Of $39,-
600. The gifts are placed in a mag
nificent silver-gilt aims basin, pre-
scented to the American Church in
1852 by the Church OF England. This
basin is In the custody OF the House
OF Bishops and is used only at the
meetings Of the general convention.
The united offering service will CON-
stst OF a celebration Of the Holy Com
munton. at which Bishop Tuttle, pre-
siding bishop. Will officiate. assisted by
Bishop Arthur Selden Lloyd, presi-
dent of the board OF missions, in ad-
dition to which more than one hun
dred bishops will be in attendance.
When the offering is formally present
ed the Doxology will be sung by the
vast congregation and hundreds Of
women who cannot obtain admission
will take up the strains outside 1t
will be one Of the most impressive
sights Of the convention.
The secretary of the Woman's Aux
fliary is Miss Julia Emery, who has
filled the office with signal ability
for forty-sfx years.
