PruneS No Longer
Sold As PI1t717S On
English Markets

But changes occur in the oldest
of customs and Oregon prunes are
now being sold on the English
market under a name which is not
assumed, for they are labeled
prunes.
The "Mistland" brand is the
first to be sold without the name
being changed and none of the
prunes of the Oregon Growers as
sociation have been sold as plums
since they entered the English
market last fall.
That the change is not objec-
Itionable is indicated by the repea.
orders which continue to come
from there and 80 carloads have
been sent to that market since
October of last year, on an amount
equaling 1,650,000 pounds.

The strongest customs are some
times broken. though they may
have been established for centur-
les.
Since the earliest times in Eng
land, the fruits which have gone
into the plum pudding for which
the English housewife is so famous
have been called plums, even
though it has often happened that
they were dried prunes.
AS consequence importers of
prunes in that country have al
WAYS changed the labels on the
boxes to read "plums" instead OF
'prunes' upon their arrival. This
was done, supposedly, to prevent
the danger of frightening away
prospective customers with new
tangled ideas.

Resolution
Resented by
KuKlllxKlarl

Resentment of the resolution
passed yesterday at the Silverton
gathering of the Marion County
Veterans association which char
acterized- the Ku Klux Klan as
"anarchistic in real character"
has manifest itself among mem
bers of the local order awaiting a
charter from the invisible empire.
"They don't know thing about
it," is the way one man known to
be a member of the local body ex-
pressed himself.
Concerning the recommendation
in the resolution suggesting "a
counter organization to combat
and put out of existance of the so
called Ku Klux Klan," another 10
cal man said: "The Ku Klux Klar
is ready to defy any order that op'
poses it."
Local members, however, ex'
pressed their opinion that such
resolution was passed through
ignorance of the purposes and
standards of the Ku Klux Khan
and anticipate no opposition from
reputable sources when the true
motives of the order are known
The present Klan, it is declared
is the regeneration of the orig Il a.
ordor of 1894 which made theii
stand against the carpet-baggers
outlaws and lust-crazed negroes
after the Civil war, and who dis
banded in 1870. Popular opin
ion is that the organization Is
connected with a ruthless bunch OF
night riders that infested the
south at a later period, spreading
terror, and who assumed the name
of the earlier society to add pres
tige to their actions.

Financial Forecasts
Indicate General Bet

Bond Market

Reports of the 2S7 banks in
Oregon in response to the call OF
June 80 indicate a highly salts
factory condition, according to the
report of Frank G. Bramwell,
state superintendent of banks,
submitted to the state banking
board today.
in many localities substantial
improvements have been dis
closed" Bramwell's report states,
adding that financial forecasts
would indicate a general improve
ment throughout the country"
The keynote for cheaper money
has been sounded in the recent
reductions in interest rates in
some of the central reserve cities
and federal reserve banks. Bram-
well declares.
Bond Market Improves
"The bond market has shown
considerable improvement within
the past thirty days." the report
states. There is in process OF
harvesting the greatest diversified
crop produced in the history OF
the northwest. Market conditions
on various classes of productions,
during the past thirty days have
shown some improvement. In
view of the general physical con-
dition, many bankers predict a
substantial improvement in ouI
financial conditions within the
near future"
Bramwell calls attention to the
fact that although many applica'
tions for bank charters have been
filed with his department since
January l only one such applica-
tion has been approved.
"Under existing conditions
business of a new bank would
only be encouraged by offering te
the public facilities and accom-
modations which are not available
through similar institutions, h'
explains.
