GOLD "GROWS" IS CLAIM OF
 FAMOUS MAN

Denver, June 3 - That gold, the most precious Of metals, actually ''grows," is the contention of Peter McF'arlane, widely known mining engineer, in a pamphlet issued here, in which many previously accepted scientific rules relating to the pro- duction of sold mining industry of Colorado for more than half a cen tury, having been one of the pioneers in the Central City gold fields
 In his pamphlet, entitled Grown Gold" McFarlane sets forth many startling results of his 50 years ob- servation of gold mining develop mer1t in this region, citing instances of the actual growing of gold in veins that had yielded much of the yellow metal and had been declared ''panned out" only to be reopened with an increased production from the t'rfbbon'' that supposedly had given up it's last ounce of gold.

PRUNE GROWERS NOW ORGANIZED
 FOR PROTECTION
By J. F.LANGNER,
(Written for International

...-. -.... Service.O .... ..-.
 The present prune industry of Cal ifornia, Oregon and Washintgon is one of the marvels of agriculture, or ganized alike in the interests of the producer and consumer.
 From sheer poverty to unparallel- suit of the organization of the Pacific Coast prune growers. Consumers may remember, a few years ago, when it was possible to buy pruneS for an average price of from IS cents to 25 cents a pound For ten years prior to 1917 the prune growers of the Pacific Coast received an average price of only three cents a pound flor all they produced.
 It is beyond the realm of reason to presume that where there is no ex- pensive process of manufacture in- volved in the distribution of a. pro- duct an increase of 500 to 500 per cent in the price is justified between sumer's kitchen The consumer can buy prunes today for an average price no higher than he paid five years ago. But the quality is in- citations have aimed to sell to the consumer the most perfectly stand ardized article of food it. is possible to produce.
 The California Prune and Apricot Growers Association and the Oregon Growers Cooperative Association are the two growers organizations which market more than four-fifths of all the dried prunes produced in this country. They have been de- veloped within the last five years out of a situation which had resulted in thousands of acres of prune orchards being destroyed because the growers were unable to find a market for their prunes at any price.
 Faced with an enormous loss, the growers were unable to pay even their gracery bills. Bankers who had made loans on prune orchards were loath to foreclose because the actual value of prune lands had decreased to such an extent that the land would not return the amount loaned if of fered for public sale. This desperate situation was due entirely to syst em which permitted a most pernicious speculation in buying and reselling prunes which took little account of the grower and even less of the con- sumner.
 Organize Cooperative Association
 The farmer is essentially a pro- ducer. He knows nothing about marketing and is forced always to accept the statenetn and price of the cash buyer who comes to his farm and tells him just what he will pay. In this condition the State of California itself, in conjunction with business men in the prune growins g distrcts, organized the farmers into a cooperative marketing association. More than 1000 growers joined the association in California. and several thousand Oregon and Washintgon growers organized a similar associa- tion-
 The first thing the association did was to decline to deal with specula- tors
 It sent it's general manager, H. c. Coykenda1l of San Jose, to New York to deal direct with the legitimate distributors. It standardized it's crop, branded it and advertised it throughout the country as the stand

ardized product of all the growers of the state or states. It establishes a price every season which represents actual cost of production, plus a fair the best quality of prunes are ship ped to the market by the association. All Pacific Coast associations believe the consumer is entitled to the best that can be produced
 Scientific Use of Surplus
 But there is a Surplus-of poorer quahty-and this surplus must be disposed of somehow. Surplus is that portion of the crop which does not go through the normal channels of trade-yet it must be sold else all the profits made out of the sale of the balance would be lost through the non-sa1e of the surplus.
 Many more pruneS are now grown in this country than are sold in the familiar 10 and 25-pound boxes the consumer is accustomed to see in the stores.
 Seventy-f1ve per cent of a small prune is pit, so the associations send the small prunes to a central plant, chinery, and the pulp is made into jams, jelies, prune butter and filler for pies. The pits themselves are made into prussaic. acid and the shells burned to charcoal.
 Only through scientific organiza- ton and management have the prune growers preserved their industry, and this preservation has been the salvation of the many small cities scattered throughout the prune- growing belt. The prune growers in adopting cooperative marketing fol- lowed the example set by the raisin association of California, which sold 100000 tons of raisins the year be- fore prohibition, when people were eating raisins instead of drinking them

BALTIMORE, September 20.-'The
policeman's lot Is not a happy one" is
an old saying that has been doubly
emphasized with the Baltimore police
men with the advent of Volsteadism.

The policeman who makes an arrest
for the violation of the Volstead act

arrest he must take what's coming to
him. And If he becomes too pernicious
