Mrs. c. A. Batchelder returned
last Wednesday from a trip to
Florida. She was entertained while
in Miami by DIR. and Mrs. Western
of Minneapolis, Mimi; in st. Pc
tersburg by Mrs. M. French of Fond
du Lac, Wis, and at Palatka by Mr..
and Mrs. Wilbur Reynolds Of Unity
Maine, also at Atlantic City by Miss
Beth Weston of Medford. Mass.
James Daryas Emery whose 10th
birthday was last Friday, took din
ner with his sister. Mrs. H. C. Pres
colt. While he was away from
home his son and wife prepared a
surprise for him during the eve
ming, and when his daughter and
husband, Mr.. and Mrs. Wesley
Seekins, also his sister and hus-
band, Mr.. and Mrs. H. c. Prescott,
came in he began to realize that it
was his birthday. His daughter
brought birthday cake with 70
candles on it. These when lighted
were very pretty and the cake
when eaten with the ice cream made
by his son and wife, was delicious.

corn for less than 5 cents per pound
for 1922"
Consumers are buying lightly
expecting the retail price to be re-
duced. Packers say that as prices
OF most everything are considerably
reduced. the price of sweet corn
should share the same fate.
I'VE frankly admit that the price
OF canned corn to the consumer
has been. and is, altogether too
high, and there is much chance for
reduction in the retail price
without touching the price to the
farmer. If the grower could get
his just proportion of the profits
made on corn selling at 20 and 25
cents per can, he would get more
at 0 cents for each pound Of cut
corn.
Perhaps it would be we'll to let
the consumer in on the part the
farmer plays in the high cost of
canned corn. Much has been said
about the farmers Accent dollar.
but in sweet corn his Accent dol
lar dwindles down to Is cents on
.25-cent corn, even at the present
-
price of cents.
The following figures should
open the eyes of both growers and
consumers; as they have not been
disputed when quoted in the pres
ence of men closely allied with the
calming factories. they are assumed
to be correct:
Each can of corn contains IL
ounces, or three-quarters Of a pound
Fof sweet corn, for which the farm
err gets 3 3-4 cents when he gets s
cents per pound. This has been the
price received for the past two
years. For each one cent added to
the price of cut corn, the farmer
gets three-fourths of one cent.
If any one handling corn, from
the farmer to the consumer. would
only add an increase in proportion
to the increase the farmer gets.
corn would be selling much cheap
er than at present.
1T is said the packers have a lot
OF money invested in their plants.
upon which they must realize in
terest. How many farmers realize
interest on the money invested in
their plants?" "t

that the hair dries quickly and even

and is always bright, soft and fluffy;
SO fluffy, in fact, that it looks more
abundant than it is, and so soft that
arranging 1t becomes a pleasure.
Just use teaspoonful of canthrox.

NEW LOVE ANGLE
IN "SLAVE OF
VANITY" FRIDAY

A new angle of the great power Of
love is shown in "A Slave of Vanity"
the new Robertson-C Cole super-spe-
cial which will be seen at the Colo
NAL theatre on Friday with Pauline
Frederick. The play is taken from
the great story Iris" by Sir Arthur
Wing Pinero.
In "a Slave of Vanity" unlike the
heroines in his other plays. though
dragging her from the pinnacles of
social heights down to the cutters of
life, Pinero shows the regeneration
of the parasite to a woman, whose
character gradually develops until it
reflects those things which we love
best in woman.-Adv.

California Fruit Growers
May Find Blessing in Frost
BY LYNN c. SIMPSON
special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 7.-While it
is too soon to gauge accurately the
damage done by the frosts this week
in the fruit-growing sections OF San
Joaquin and Sacramento valleys, it is
certain that the raisin crop has suf-
fered seriously. Because OF the ia
vorable weather conditions the vines
were well advanced. and the frost dam
age is likely to prove heavier on that
account.
Peaches. almonds and other delicate
fruits have been badly nipped by the
frost, and it will prove blessing to
the industry as a whole. as the out
asmuch as the crop. until the present
cold snap, gave indications OF bum
per harvest.
Cherry Shipments Soon.
Cherry shipments to eastern mar
kets will begin to move within the
next ten days. The cherry crop ap-
parently has not been injured by the
frost. In spite of damage, shipments
Of California fruit promise to be ex-
tremeIy heavy, unless further frosts
should occur.
For some reason apples have moved
slowly and stocks on hand are un-
usually large. Several carload ship
ments to eastern markets have re-
lieved the situation somewhat.
1t is. announced that the movement
OF lumber both by rail and water has
increased during the past ten days.
Several mills have begun operations
and preparations are under way for
the reopening of other plants.
Farmerx' Congress Interests.
California producers are watching
with intense interest developments of

The principle of cooperative market
ing is well established in this state,
where the influence of state govern
ment agencies has been exerted to as
sist in forming the growers organ

the developments of the growers or
ganizations said that the long con-
tract and compulsory deliveries were
the salvation of the growers in the
formative stages of these associations

dropped to sos average at the mill,

Questions U. s. Prosperity
Depends on Export Trade

NEW YORK. April 7.-There is dis
position here, in the very heart of for
eign trade, to question the extent OF the
statements made at big export trade
gathering in Chicago Tuesday that the
prosperity OF the United States is de-
pendent absolutely on export trade. 1t
is true that the figures of the war
period show a tremendous value Of
American goods shipped abroad, but
the conditions, it is admitted, were abb
normal and may never occur again.
In normal years the export trade Of
the United States largely is in food
stuffs and this trade will continue to
just the extent that the world needs
food and means are found to pay for it.
Irving T. Bush. president of the Bush
Terminal Company, Joined the discus
sion today with this statement:
Il do not agree completely with those
who assert that our prosperity is de-
pendent upon our export trade. Might
il not be well for us to return to our
old condition Of the most self-contained
nation in the world? America, with
wages higher and more contentment
among workers than any other nation,
cannot compete with the world in price
in those com modities in which much
labor is involved. In most things the
only method OF competing with Germany
and England will be through lowering
wage scales and standards of living"
