|PRUNE INDUSTRY HAS
BEEN UNEQUAL WAR
Growers Are Now Beginning
10 Realize Profits From
Long Period Of Waiting.

To get definite idea of what it
means to be ''full of prunes' and
whether it is desirable condition or
not, you have only to hitch up a Ford
and drive out over the Jefferson and
Liberty roads along with Fruit Inspec-
tor Van Trump, and have a talk with
some of the old-timers who have been
fighting the climate, the pests and the
devil ever since the days of "Coxey s |
Army"
It's a beautiful thing to contemplate
from a FOrd-the endless, undulatinp
areas of prune orchards, running away
to the horizon on both sides. ~ mas no
equal anywhere except in the orange
belt of California. 1t looks good even
In the baroness of winter, for the slopes
are generally cultivated like an onion
bed and the trees in good condition.
The first idea that strikes the uninitia-
ted is that everybody ought to be get
ting rich in the prune belt of the Viii
lamette Valley. Are theyY Well they
made coed start last year, and they
are well on the way for the future.
The reporter picked up g;ided yarns
about orchards that netted $3.50 an acre
and they sounded authentic. But get
ting down to "reminiscences of the early
nineties, y it developed that the prune
industry in the valley had made rec
ord of tragedies that would make angels
weep. It is the old story of men who
jumped into prune orchards without
a glimmer of knowledge or experience,
expecting the prunes rs pay tne back
installments on the contract; of men
who set trees in the worst possible To-
cations, with their roots in shale; of
pests that were not contested; of mar
ketless markets and lack of organiza,.
ton and primitive methods.
Has Been Hard Fight.
1t has been hard fight against odds,
with only gambler s chance at the end
of the season; but let us assume that
this is largely condition of the past
The growers are now in the best posi-
tion in their history; hundreds of acres
of new orchards are coming into bear
ing; they have learned something from
bitter experience; they are developing
a semblance of class ssconsciousness and
looking toward cooperation. Along
with this, Inspector Van Trump notes a
disposition to "come awake" in the
matter of fighting pests, which are be-
coming a greater menace every season.
In the past, the shiftlessness on the part
of orchardists, especially with the apple
and peach growers, has only been equal
led by the Tennessee mountain whites
Another encouraging feature is the di-
versifying of orchards with walnut and
cherries, for even in this prune para
disc, experience has proved the reck-
lessness Of tying up an entire ranch and
all available assets in one commodity.
The inspector pointed out number of
growers who were farsighted enough 10
years ago to intersperse their prune
trees with walnuts, and today they are
beginning to realize dividends on them
with minimum of labor.

Those FIatterinq Films.

Next to an unretouched photograph,
the moving picture screen is the great
est fiatterer in the world. 1t doesn't
flatter those who appear in the pic
lures so much as those who sit In
front and watch them.
Nobody can attend a moving-picture
show without being reasonably conf
dent that he has assimilated every
thing. 1t is not like the spoken drama,
where one learns, on picking up the
paper the next morning, that he missed
just about half the subtleties in the
performance and came near losing the
big idea of the whole thing. Every
thing is right where all of us can get
each detail without effort, and In grub
bling those details we find great mat
ters for self-congratulation. = Film

HAS FAD FOR COLLECTING
Anything Odd or Curious. Sar Fran
cisco Man Is Eager to Add to
His Possessions.

II met a man In San Francisco who
goes in for collecting odd things on a
large SCALE" said traveller. "He has,
to begin with, several ropes which
have been used to hang celebrated
criminals. In the same room are
number of menus obtained from hotels
In various parts of the world. He
places considerable value on several
corks which have been pulled from the
bottles of wine used on the tables of
well-known persons, and a dozen book
dedications are considered an impor-
tant feature of the collection. Some
of the autographs in the collection
are highly priced because they re-
Quired the expenditure of not small
sum of money and quite little time.
During his travels in foreign lands the
collector picked up the thigh bone of
a Syrian giant, a chameleon of Bar
barry, a great African lizard and a
rose which was said to be 100 years
old. He even turned his attention to
beans, and has ten Chinese beans
which are not familiar to the people
of this country"

MANY VARIETIES OF SUGAR
Those Which Are Contained In Dried
Fruits Are Recommended as OF
Very High Food Value.

When you say sugar, you mean that
white crystalline material which
comes originally from the sugar cane
or the sugar beet. And that substance
is pure sugar. But ii is not the only
sugar, by any means.
If you were chemist you would
call that sugar "sucrose," and you
would remark quite casually that, or
course, there are other sugars.
Some of these other sugars are "glu-
cose," or "dextrose," or grape sugar."
"fructose:" or 'levulose," or fruit
sugar" 'lactose," or milk sugar."
and "maltose," or malt sugar"
Honey, corn sugar, maple sugar and
maple sirup, corn strip and many 9TH
er sirups contain one or more OF these
"other sugars" In this sense, all the
sugar substitutes are not really SUBJ
stitutes at all, but are sugars just as
cane sugar is sugar. All fruits con-
tain sugar of one kind or another.
Dried fruitS--prunes, figs, apricots,
dates-contain great deal of sugar.
They can be used by themselves as
sources Of fuel for home fighters.
All these sugars have a very high
food value. That is the second fact
to keep in mind. They are energy
foods and of particular value in that
they act very rapidly in producing
energy for the body to use.

SETTLED QUESTION OF VOTE
decision OF English Registrar Almost
Worthy to Rank With That Made
Famous by Solomon.

Not since the days of Solomon, per-
maps, has more perplexing problem
confronted a judge than that recently
presented to an election registrar In
England. A certain voter possessed
a house which stood half in one parish
and half In another. The question
consequently arose las to in which par
lsh, or whether not indeed, in both,
the householder was entitled to vote.
After some discussion ray of light
vas vouchsafed to Solomon. In which
parish, he demanded, was the mans
bedroom? Unfortunately. in both.
Then was 1t that Solomon stood fully
revealed; the infant, of mature years,
should be cut In twain. The parish
in which the head OF the bed stood
should have the honor of the vote.
Which is all very well, except that
there are many voters whose feet take
them to the polling booth, but whose
heads are no good when they get there
Does not the italian proverb say. "If
a man has not a head he should have
feet. "-Christian Science Monitor.

MUSIC'S AID TO MEMORY
Like Nothing Else, Strain Of Music
VIII Take One Back to Scenes
of The Past.

Have you ever realized the power
that music has to carry the memory
back years and years until the illusion
is so realistic that when your mind
returns to its immediate surroundings
you realize with start 1t was only
day dream-that you were not actual
ly and physically where your thoughts
were? A few bars from one of the old
songs carries you back to the old
home. You see the fields, the river.
the "ould kirk" in the hazy distance
You almost feel the evening breeze on
your cheek and hear the familiar
sounds-the lowing of the kline and
the bleating of the sheep. You're liv-
ing again those dear old days just as
wildly as you did long ago.
Or the strains of an old waltz re-
mind you of your first dance years and
years ago. You live over again the
days before the dance when you were
so busy getting everything ready
and then the great night arrived. You
remember your entrance into the bril-
liant ballroom. You saw all those old
| friends whom you thought you had
forgotten until now. Then the excite
ment and the pleasure and the wonder
full dances-the people you met for the
first time and the faces you saw fol
the last time. All this recalled by JUS
few bars of music.
This is one of the reasons why mu
sic has such great hold on people
and why its charm never wearies-
why some music no matter how old
no matter how familiar or oft heard
is always new. 1t is necessity tina
there should be such music in ever,
home, and thanks to the ingenuity tina
made possible the talking machine ant
the player-piano the musically un
trained are not dependent upon thei
gifted and tutored friends for thi
blessing.

King Victim OF His Own Jest.

Probably the greatest admirer OF
perfumes among the old Asiatic mon
archs seems to have been Antiochus
Epiphanes the Hlustrious, king of Sy-
ria, according to Don Martin, who has
gone into this perfumery question for
the Los Angeles Times. At all An
tiochus' feasts, games and professions
perfumes held the premier place.
The king was once bathing In the
public baths, when some private per-
son attracted by the fragrant odor
which he shed around, accosted him,
saying: "You are a happy man, o
king, you smell in most costly man
ner."
Antiochus, being much pleased with
the remark, replied: 81 will give you
as much as you desire of this per-
fume." The king then ordered large
ever of thick unguent to be poured on
the fiatterer's head and q multitude of
poor people soon collected around to
gather what was spilled. This caused
the king infinite amusement but II
made the place so greasy that he slip
ped and fell on his back in a most un-
dignitied manner, which put an end tC
his merriment.

JOKE FOR MODERN BURGLAR
kerring's Safes, Considered MarveIs
GUS Years Ago, Would Be Laughed
at In This Generation.

IF a modern burglarsor "safe cracks
err" could see some of the safes in
vented by Silas Herring he would
probably have good laugh. For a
modern" safeblower must be a bit
of scientist with large knowledge
of explosives; an old-fashioned safe
would be easy for him TO get into; but,
in those days the Herring safes were
considered marvels and absolutely
theft and fireproof.
Herring was born in Shrewsbury,
VT, and began his career as a grocery
clerk. firing of this after some six
years, he went into the lottery busi-
ness. saved $4,000 and started u
wholesale grocery concern in New
York city. A fire and panic ruined
his business, so he obtained the agency
for the Salamander safes--so named,
probably, because they were able to
come through fire unhurt. He got the
right to manufacture them later, and
kept on improving and improving them
each year. He once put ST 900 in thu
drawer of one, sent 1t to the wortd's
fair and offered the money to any one
who could get into the safe and get
1t. No one got it.
But nowadays big banks and trust
companies would laugh at these old
square safes. The burglar PROOF
safe today Is round like ball, and has
door that screws in, leaving no
cracks for explosives. Even If any
were poured into the hinges, the ex-
plosion would only drive the door more
firmly into the casing of the safe.
Herring died in 1881.

The late Professor Munsterberg OF
Harvard believed that the sensory
mechanism OF women worked quicker
than that of men. He took the Illus
tration of two sets of wires, corre-
spending to the nerves of the human
body. conducting current of cleo
tricity to a certain point. The wires or
woman's nerves were able to communi-
cate to the fixed point, in this case the
brain, the current much more quickly
than the male equipment, and, further
more, reacted to currents too faint for
mans wires to take up. The addition
of these subtle stimuli produced in the
receiving center an entirely different
comprehension in woman than In man,
Munsterberg argued.-Chicago Exam

Learn to Be a Listener.

The man with brains in his head Is
good listener even if he doesn't
know what men are talking about. It's
a pleasure to listen when you're inter-
ested. The next best thing Is to act
as though you were. That does not
mean that you are to act the hypo-
critic. 1t means that you are to put
yourself at attention and the chances
are that you will become interested
You just must learn to get Interested
In what concerns the world. Disregard
what interests others and thereby you
make confession that does not count
to your credit So even if YOU can't
confess the most lively interest, find
out what there is about the thing thnt
Interests others and the result may be

CAN LEARN TO LIKE TASKS
Quality Once Acquired, Many Men
Will Find Their Life Take on
Brighter Hue.

1t is a remarkable fact that most
men are engaged in occupations that
they dislike. We know many doc
tor who would far rather be an author,
and, by the same token, we know some
authors whom we would like to be doc
tors or something else. There are
statesmen who always wanted to be
blacksmiths, and blacksmiths who
wanted to be statesmen. In many in
stances they could trade and the cOun-
try would be the gamer.
But that's neither here nor there.
The thing TO be considered is that we
can make life whole lot easier by
learning to like tasks that we now do
not like. 1t can be done, strange as
it may seem. Many man has learn
ed to like to play croquet or to eat
greens. There are instances of men
who actually fell In love with their

AMAZON LEGEND IS GREEK
Stories Of Wonderful Feats OF War.
like Women Had Their Origin
in That Country.

When RUSSIAN women, following the
revolution which deposed the car.
took up arms in behalf of their coun-
try 1t seemed that the ancient Greek
myth of the Amazons was close TO
realization. The legend of the Anna
IONS was favorite among the
Greeks, who loved to weave stories of
the wonderful feats of these warlike
women.
According to the legend the ANA
IONS, who were Irresistible in war
lived on the shores of the Black sea.
The first Amazons were women whose
husbands had all been killed in war.
The widows decided that marriage
was a condition of servitule. and de-
termlned to have no more of it. So
they trained themselves in the use of
arms and became the terror of their
masculine neighbors, according to an
article In the Peoples Home Journal.
Three famous queens of the Anna
IONS are ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, who
was conquered by Hercules; Penthe-
silica, who was slain by Achilles while
aiding the Trojans; Thelistris, who
visited Alexander the Great. accom-
panied by three hundred of her war

The Amazon river was so named be-
cause early Spanish explorers who
were floating down that great stream
believed they saw race of women
warriors on the land bordering the

Gather Wisdom From Others.

It's dangerous policy to consider
yourself above the other mans mes
sage. If you're so superior your fell
lows will never be content to let you
sit in silence. Besides If you don't
want to listen to what's going on you
have no business there. Noise made
by you will interfere with the hearing
of those who do want to learn. You
owe it to yourself and others to pay
attention or at least make it possible
for others to listen. Besides there are
few people that can't learn from 9TH
ers. Don't be prig. Remember any
child can ask questions that will con-
found the wise. The ordinary speak
er may have ideas that need the polish
of Gladstone. You are always a
gamer when you get the other mans
best. 1t may be a help to you some
day.-Pennsylvania Grit.
