Date-crowinq in California.

Date palms grown from shoots that
were imported from Algiers are now
abundantly bearing fruit in the Coach
ella valley of California. In it's grow
ing. the date crop is indeed picturs
esQue. AS staple, however, it is
hardly so well known in America as
in the Levant, where for untold CEN
turtles it has been almost as important
as wheat. Though it would doubtless
take more than numerous dates and
olives to make Garden of Eden. still
these are supposed to have been fac
tors In that deiectable condition OF
things. In midwinter it is pleasant to
think Of such a crop as this growing
near a town called Mecca in the
United States.

WE HAVE been wondering
whether or not other newspapers
throughout the United States
are continually bothered as
much as we are with notices
sent by various government de-
partments for publication
Every mail brings dozens OF
letters containing news items
for this or that branch OF the
service, with the request that
same be published as news
item, until it has almost become
necessary for as to hire boy
to dump the waste paper bas-
ket.
If we we're to publish just one
half Of tIle items forwarded TO
us it would become necessary
for this family journal to expand
to twenty page paper IN order
to accommodate all the items
concerning government activi.
ties.
When the war was on we glad
ly published news items con-
cerning liberty loans, war drives
and other kindred government
activities, and we generously
gave our space without one cent
of reward until almost every de-
partment had TO be crowded
out, and we were more than glae
to be Of service to our country
which we love SO well, but every
two-by -four clerk in the employ
of the govern ment seems to
think that newspapers are run
on thank yous" and that gov
eminent paper is free from
the amount of material which
they ask US TO publish.
Ii .his matter was of any news
to our readers we would not
take so unkindly to the mass OF
dope" forwarded to as, but il
is far from it. Many Of the
daily papers have refused to
publish tile greater part OF this
''thankyou" stuff aud many OF
them are now receiving con-
tracts for advertising for the
army end navy drive, but the
smaller papers are net even re-
ceiving a whack at this adver
tislng, bat that does not stol
the flood of literature being seDi
for publication to boost this
drive for which the big paper
will claim credit as result Of
the advertising placed with
them.

There IL No Escape.

Dartmoor, the great English prison,
is so situated that escape Is almost I'm
possible, indeed. no man has ever I'M
ally got away. For miles around
stretches an expanse Of wild moor
land. The plight of an ordinary per-
son, lost on the moor, is cad enough.
but how much more pitiable must be
that of an escaped convict who. like
a hunted animal, finds himself assail.
ed alike by the fury of the elements
and by the united enmity Of his fell
low creatures. Often a man has slip
ped away during fog, wandered
about al night and at daybreak found
himself within a stones throw OF the
prison walls. There are many ways
into Dartmoor prison, but only one
way ont-the broad highway which
the discharged convicts tread when
they leave the prison gate behind
them.

Food Oil From Grapes.

The palatable and highly nutritious
new food oil from grapes is suggest
ed as a rival for olive and cottonseed
oils for cooking and salad dressing.
DR.. J. HI. Shrader of the United States
bureau of plant industry finds that not
only may profitable quantity of sdch
oil be derived from the waste of vine
yards, but that the seeds of pumpkins,
tomatoes and other vegetables may be
utilized in similar way. A method
of separating the seeds without send
ing to central station is being de-
xeloped.
Temperature and Plant.
Certain tropical plants and ferns
would be found in the frigid zones If
the earth's atmosphere possessed a
sufficient amount of carbon dioxide to
raise it's mean temperature few de-
grees. The globular form of the earth
is responsible for the uneven temper
allure of different parts of It's surface.
The effectiveness of temperature upon
the growth and development of plant
life is readily demonstrated upon the
slopes of high mountains. where GER
tain plants seem to flourish almost
up to a fixed line and then disappear.

FAIR PRICE COMMITTEE
DEFENDS MILK ruling

Reply to recent criticisms of the
local fair price committee. particu-
larly in reference TO its policy In 1iX-
ing the price of milk sold over the
counter, is made in letter sent by
the committee 20 Attorney General
Palmer and made public by his ofhce
today.
The letter defends the action OF the
committee in holding that where
dealers pay 64 cents a gallon for mix
in bottles a fair price is Genus
pint and Is cents quart wore
than 500 dealers have agreed Nolun-
tarily to sell at this price, 1t is added,
and where they are able to buy IL at
60 cents a gallon to sell the quarts
for II cents. 49,
Denial of any friction between the
committee and United states Dlslrict
Attorney I-askey is made. on the
contrary, it is said that official mas
twice sat in committee meetings ana
there has never been any mtsuhder-
standing or disagreement between
them. ::
The charge that the committee is
an expensive organization IS an
swered by saying that its total cost
is but S3TS2 per day. covering the
expenses of five employees.
'.If. as they have agreed saws the
letter. the 500 grocers sell milk al
is cents per quart to the people OF
Washington instead of 20 cents, ana
if each grocer sells ony twenty
quarts per day, we have a saving to
