CONSERVATION OF THE PRUNE.

GPHE announcement that the Earl Fruit company had
decided to construct $4,000 evaporation in the
Boise valley would be important at any time. 1t is
superlatvey with on.
One drawback to fruit industry has been the lack
OF means to preserve the products The green fruit has
been forced onto the market quantity often congestng
it in such that the growers received no such
prices as their industry and investment justified.
The public has also suffered because of shortage in
one season of the year inevitably following waste of fruit
during the growing and shipping season.
The war will decrease the available supply of workers
and will enormously increase the demand for fruit In
less it can be dried much of it will rot.
The Earl company plan solves the problem insofar as
this plant is concerned Others will be needed in e
peciay to take of the Idaho prune alone best

THE road from pacifism TO dis

The Tyranny of Some
Who Oppose Pacifists
(New York Worldly


Not every pacifist is a traitor, and
New York school officials and all 9TH
ers ought to recognize the fact. I'm
less we are to Prussianize public SEN
timent in this country there must be
respect for private opinion, and this
is especially necessary In times of
excitement.
A good deal OF the pacifism of the
day is due to intellectual vanity and
arrogance. Left to themselves, those
who are most outspoken will soon find
in the judgments OF their associates
the only restraint needed. Harshly
assailed and prosecuted, pride of opin-
ion seizes them and violence Is soon
added to stubbornness.
To deprive people of livelihood be-
cause they happen to constitute a noisy
minority Is the poorest answer that
ever was made to an argument. To
howl them down when they ask a
hearing Is bad manners as we'll as bad
politics. Yale students listened re-
spectfully to David Starr Jordan's
speech for peace the other night, and
then 1000 of them Joined In q war
parade, which was a legitimate and pa
triotio response.
Hardly any tyranny Is worse than
that which hunts out people holding
strange and unpopular beliefs and
perseoutes them by deprivation of en-
ployment or trade. American loyalty
does not depend upon prescription. The
greater the folly of the pacifists the
more certain is their condemnation.
The so-called patriotism which under
takes to meet this nonsense with a
denial of human rights is woefully
lacking In the true spirit upon which
a nation at war must depend

ELEANOR BUYS HER HUSBAND A

Friday at 10 o'clock found Eleanor
at the Fowlers. She had come to the
auction, having fully made up her
mind to get the desk for her husbands
birthday present II 1t could be had in
side certain fixed limit that economy
mad set. Whe rooms were we'll filled
with the neighbors who lived in the lit
tie suburb. Mrs. Black saw her enter
and made her way to her through the
crowd.
Il hoped you would come over" she
began voluby. Mrs. Fowler is not in
evidence"
Poor thing! 1t must be a snock to
have ones intimate possessions under
the hammer" said Eleanor. Il want
to look at that desk. Douglas needs
one and If it can be had cheap enough
-"
Certainly. That is the way look
at it," interrupted Mrs. Black.
Il wonder when this will be put up.
I cannot stay long. The baby will not
sleep more than an hour and I cannot
| hinder Mrs. Finn or the washing will
not be done. 1t was good of her to Of
fer to care for the child, and I know

ASK the auctioneer to put IL I'D next,
1t cannot make any difference what he
sells first" suggested Mrs. Black
Can anyone do that 1 am a strang-
er to the business" Eleanor's voice
was eager.
ut can do no hurt to try" was the
cheerful answer.
Eleanor plucked up her courage and
approached the man whose stentorian
tones filled the whole house. To her
! delight he agreed to put up the desk
next. The bidding was quite lively at
first Finally she heard the auction
eer sing out. Going! Goingi Gonel
What next?" The sum was o trifle
under the amount she had fixed as her
maximum price. In a little alcove off
| the dining room sat a man at a table
receiving the money for the articles
sold.
Eleanor made her way to this table
to proffer her five dollars and arrange
for the further payments for the desk
She had not yet finished her request
when the man interrupted her brusk-
ly:
Everything is strictly cash, madam.
II you take the desk you must arrange
to pay for it at once" It was like q
blow. Was she to lose the chance after
all?
She couldn't ask Douglas for the
money to pay for his present five
weeks before his birthday. She would
rather give the whole thing up.
Pardon me, Mrs. Fillmore. Allow
me to advance the money till you can
| see your husband" Eleanor turned
and saw neighbor, a man in the real
estate business with whom they were
on very friendly terms.
"Oh, thank you, Mr.. Corey, but 1
am afraid I must give 1t up. 1 don't
want to ask my husband for the mon
I ey, as I was intending to give it to
him for birthday present, and my
| allowance will not compass it this
month"
Let me come to your rescue. The
amount is trifling." His smile was
very ingratiating. Eleanor remember
ed that the firm loaned money.
IF you will lend me the money I
shall be very glad. 1 will see you
about the business Details
This is just neighborly turn" he
replied smiling.
Il prefer to have 1t a business mat
! ter. Could not the desk be sent to

the money"
