GROWERS WILL GET
4 CTS. FOR BERRIES
Fruit Association Com
mands Good Price for
Product Next Season.

-Four cents a pound is the price
that berry growers of the Nooksack
Valley will receive for their product
next season, according to an an
nouncemen made today by d. F.
Smith, president of the Fruit Grow
ers' Association. This is a higher
figure than the growers have re-
ceived for some years, and puts the
industry on profitable basis.
1t was only through united effort
that the growers were able to COM
mand this mark for their crop. Of
fers one-half cent lower were made,
but were promptly refused. and the
bids were gradually elevated.
H. A. Baker, of Chicago, who bar
relied the Lynden crop last season:
Pride Brothers of Bellingham. and
the Kale Canning Company of Ever
son, are rendering contracts at four
cents. Forty acres at Nooksack have
been allotted to Baker. The Lynden
berries will probably go to Pride
Brothers, who will collect the fruit
in barrels directly at the patches.
The Everson cannery will take what
ever Pride is unable to use.
The four cent price includes fur
nishing the crates and barrels, and
means an additional six thousand
dollars to the growers over what
they received last year. The ad-
vanced price will enable the growers
to pay better wages for their piekers
next season, and eliminate to q great
extent the trouble of holding piekers
Mr.. Smith is anxious to find out
the amount of berry acreage in the
district in order to make the proper
allotment to the firms, and he asks
that all growers report to him at
once the amount of their acreage and
the varieties raised

 Like the girls of the family, young Prince Humbert, the heir to the throne, is very fond of Miss Brown whose influence has been extended to his education in some measure. She exerted her influence in securing the introduction of the Boy Scout move ment into Italy, the Prince being it's commander-in-chief and the King con- tributing a million dollars a year to it's support.
 During the war, though with her usual unobtrusiveness, Miss Brown has taught the girls English methods of helping in charities. While the Italians are charitable as a people, their charities have not before been organized on the large scale made necessary by the war.

shelter will be reduced to min imum. The zinc shelter seeks the cooperation of the miner by encouraging the latter to provide his properties with "short mills" The "short mill" is on that aims to do only rought concentration, to produce a clean, high grade lead concentrate and a "slush middling" product that will con tain some lead and, as nearly as is practicable, all of the zinc and copper. Such a mill would entail a cost for construction between a quarter and a half of that of the long process mill ordinarily necessary. The cost of operation of the "short mill" would prob ably be less than one-half that of the long process mill per ton of ore treated and the net recovery would be greatly in favor of the "short mill" The zinc shelter proposes to take the rough "slush" middlings" at the local plants, pay for the metals con- tained and there to produce high grade products that can stand the cost of shipment to the large centrally located plants.
 In making these very hopeful propositions, the zinc shelter is not actuated by any altruistic motives but is seeking to escape from an impending shortage in the ore supply. The working out of these propositions in a practical way ought to greatly increase the value of the many zinc and lead properties in Arizona.-Arizona Republican.

ENGLISH GOVERNESS POWER IN ITALIAN
 ROYAL HOUSEHOLD
tFrom Tuesdays Daily MinsrI

|
 ROME, Dec. 1.-The least known and yet one of the most influential wo- men in Italy at present is Miss Mar garet Brown, the English governess of three of the girls of the royal fam fly.
 Since the publication of the arrange ment of marriage between Edward Albert, prince of Wales, heir appar- ent to the English throne, and Prin- cess Yolanda, eldest daughter of the king and queen of Italy, the position of this humble governess as the do mestic power behind the throne is said to have been greatly strengthened Should the marriage between your Edward and the Nxealthiest royal heir ess of Europe take place, as is ex- pected, Miss Brown will receive due credit as the matchmaker.
 The mystery that has grown up around the personality of Miss Brown is one of the sources of her influence. Also, it is of the kind that pleases the king, who has a horror of the publicity which his position forces upon him. Those persons of the court life who dislike Miss Brown because of her con- fidential position, because of her power to hold her tongue, and her custom of standing beside the queens chair dur ing receptions, have tried in vain to discover who she is. To date, all they have learned is that she is a strong minded person of some 45 years who appeared on the scene at the birth of Yolanda, the first child, and who has been in charge of the children ever since. It appears that the king and queen wanted their children brought up after the English fashion and that Miss Brown was recommended by some member of the English royalty.
 The influence of Miss Brown in mod ernizing the education of Italian children of the noble families has been remarkable, and far wider that that of the more popularly known system of Dr. Maria Montesseri. Miss Brown has introduced into Italy and English customs with the respect to the educa- tion of girls, in particular. Her ex- ample with the royal children, who have been taught to lead an outdoor life, to swim and ride and play wig orous games, has been followed by the noble and wealthy families, who form erly brought up girls in the strictest indoor nun-like seclusion.
 Quite a stir was caused some time ago by the way Miss Brown let the girls run in athletic clothes about the beach and woods of Castel Porziana, the summer home of the royal family. The objecting court ladies, when they attempted to discuss the matter with the King, were asked if strong bodies

TONS OF VEGETABLES ARE DRIED DAILY IN
 BERLIN FOR STORAGE
From Tuesday. Daily MinsrI

BERLIN, Dec. 1.-Berlin's estab- lishment for drying vegetables, which went into operation in July, is already drying some forty tons of vegetables daily, and an enlargement of the plant now building will almost double it's capacity. It is operated in connection with one of the great gas plants of the city, where it obtains an abundance of cheap fuel, using altogether the waste from the gas retorts and coal cars.
 The drying house serves as a safety valve for the Berlin market. It often happens here, as at all other great centers of population, that more vege- tables come upon the wholesale mar ket at certain times than the retail trade can absorb. Whenever this ap- pears to be the case the superauous cars loaded with vegetables are swich- ed of and carried to the drying es- tablishment. It is chiefly for this req son that the latter will, as is now believed, be kept up permanently as regulator of the vegetable trade even after the war.
 The vegetables dried are chiefly cabbages, but also spinnach, carrots, turnips, kale, potatoes and some others are included. When a cores pondent of The Associated Press visit ed the drying house he found some 70 women occupied in trimming cabbage heads, washing, cutting, drying and bagging them. Special machinery does much of the work. The washing, for example, is done in shallow tanks, through the bottom of which air is forced in many jets and under great pressure; this causes a violent boiling movement which thoroughly cleanses the vegetables within a few seconds. Before the cabbages are thrown into the sliciing machines a girl holds each head under another machine that neat ly bores out the stem. The sliced cab cage is then parboiled for about one minute, and then goes to the drying hlns. These are large iron furnaces about eight feet high; they hold about ten frames of vegetables at once. The frames, about twelve by eight feet, have bottom of wire-netting upon which the cabbage mass is thinly spread. The drying process takes two hours. The dried product is then put into bags and piled away in the store room.
 At present the dried vegetables are used only for feeding the inmates of the various charitable institutions. It is expected, however, that much of the product will be sold in the markets toward the end of the winter, when the general supply of vegetables grows scarcer.

Oh, land beyond the stars of night, Where flames the gold of heavens
 day; Where all of wrong shall be made
 right, And naught of good can pass away. Oh, land of life and love supreme, Where strife and hatred cannot come; From thy high towers we catch the
 gleam Of beacon lights, to lead us home. Oh, land of hope and progress truel Where, single handed, unafraid, We solve our problems, old or new, And upward climb, all undismayed. Oh, heart of mine! This wonder cline, Where doubt and fears forever
 cease, Lies where we yield, with trust sub
 lime, Our wills to Him, the Prince of
 Peace.
