Price of PruneS
And RaiSinS Set

Maximum prices of Sh cents per
round net to prune growers and ) Y
cents per pound to growers of ralsins
for the 1918 crops, were announced
Wednesday by the food administra-
ton.
The prices recommended by the
growers of California are higher than
had been expected, the administra-
tons announcement said, but they
are justified by the labor situation,
increased costs and a probable prune
shortage.
Later conferences" said the an
nouncement, will determine the
margin to various handlers of the
crop, and as to what basis retail
prices can be quoted"

HARRY LAUDER ON THRIFT.

From the Oregon Journal.
In the memory of his son whose
life war has claimed. Harry Lauder,
famous Scotch comedian. is making
his appearance at. army camps and
environments throughout the country
under the auspices of the army and
navy Y. NJ C. A. and he has demon
strated again and again that his oEn
personal sorrow has not lessened his
almost magical power to make Other
men laugh
He always has something to say
abou: thrift and the thrift campaign.
As a Scotc1man. though a comedian.
Harry Lauder has 2 number of thrift
maxims which he insists ought to be
observed by everyone
Here are some CT them:
Behave toward your purpose as yol
would to your best friend
view the reckless spending Of
money as criminal and shun the com
pany of the reckless spender.
Dress neatly. but not lavishly- A
bank pays a higher rate Of interest
than your back
Take your amusements judiciously.
You will enjoy them better.
Don't throw away the erusts-ea1
them They are nourishing as beef.
Git is more exhilarating to feel
money in your pocket than beer in
your stomach.
Remember it only takes 20 shil-
lings to make a pound and u pence
to make a shilling.
'You can sleep better after a hare
days work than after a hard days
idleness-
Get good value from your trades
men They watch out that they get
good money from you
"A bank book makes good reading
better than some novels"
