HIS PROFITS FROM PRUNES

The prune is coming into its own
The prune. notwithstanding Its
heritage from old Rome, has been
buffeted in Jest and story from board
ing house pillar to post, from time
immemorial.
The prune has been maligned-
But the old order changeth.
Seven years ago Umatilla county
horticulturist set out 10 acres OF
prunes. He is now harvesting from
these trees crop that will net him
$4,000, or $500 an acre. AS high as
S11S ton has been paid for the
Umatilla fruit this season, and the
price is still going up.
The drafted man, asked what he
gets to eat in the army, answers

This lowly breakfast food is now
demanding due recognition. The

To say a man is full of prunes was
once popular joke. 1t is no longer.

BACK 1T UP.

Two fire companies were recently
organized in Heppner, following
closely upon the disastrous fire of
July 4th, when it was forcibly i'm
pressed upon the citizenship of the
town that protection of this sort
was something badly needed. At the
preliminary meetings, some 75
citizens signed up to become men,
bers of these companies, and the
thing started off viii rush and
some show of enthusiasm. Follow
ing this, the city council has en-
ployed fire chief at salary of
S100 per month, and has stood ready
to help the fire organization along
in all the ways possible. A new
fire truck has been ordered, ad-
ditional hose and oher apparatus is
here and the new fire chief is getting
the fire fighting equipment all in
ship shape. But for some reason
or other, there seems to be little
enthusiasm at the present In the
fire companies. Regular drills are
being held and a very few of those
who signifed their intention of be-
coming volunteer firemen for the
city have ever turned out to practice
not more than thirty ever getting
out to the drills, which are held
twice a week. Many of our business
men are giving no attention to the
companies, and in fact, so we are
informed, but very few of them ever
attend the drills at all and are simply
passing them up.
This condition should not exist.
This service should receive the
united attention and encouragement
of our citizens in order to make the
fire organization just as efficient as
possible. The fire boys should be
backed up, more men should attend
the drills and get familiar with
handling the apparatus. Another
fire may visit the city any time that
would prove just as disastrous as
any we have so far suffered and it is
to the interest of every property
owner that effective fire companies
be encouraged and maintained

Maseaanl and the War.

Pietro Mascagni, the celebrated COM
poser, once told how the opening
chorus of "Cavaleria" was composed
on the night of February 8, 1889, when
his first child was born. That son,
Mimi, is now, or was recently, driving
a motor-truck for the Italian army;
and second boy, Dino, became pri-
vate in the engineer corps, blowing up
Austrian barbed-wire barricades. On
visit to the young soldiers Mascagni
saw his first battle.
"This is indeed music" he wrote. ut
seems as if all the big drums in my or
chestra had been multiplied by q mil
lion and suddenly gone mad"
The composer gave open-air concerts
in the trenches, on one occasion at
tended by the king of Italy, and he
set himself at work on great patriot
ic symphony, designed to be musical
apotheosis of Italy's ''war of redemp-
ton"

Cost of Enrolling a Soldier.

Figures compiled from the records
of the first draft show that it cost
the government almost exactly $5
for each man drafted, according to
Popular Science Monthly. All but Z
cents of this amount represents the
expense of the draft boards. In COM
parison with this, it is interesting to
learn that the volunteer system OF
recruiting cost S24.4S per man in 1914,
s1914 in 1915 and $2S.95 between July,
1916, and April, 1917. These latter
figures, however, included the recruits
travelling expenses and the cost of his
subsistence prior to acceptance.
