WASHINGTON. March 22 = Eat prunesi
 This behest is endorsed by H. P. Gould, a pomologist of the department of agriculture, who has devoted much of his life to the study of prunes and prune culture. He aserts that the prune is being neglected in this country to the detriment of both the prune and the eating public.
 This, of course. is all good propa- ganda for the prune growers. But the prune growers, it appears. are not in immediate need of any help. Finding that the American public is turning away from the prune, they have pro- tected themselves by the simple ex- pedient of not raising so many. In a few years the prune crop has been greatly reduced. As a result, the price of prunes has gone up, and the prune growers are more prosperous than ever. And there is another reason why they need not worry. In Europe an enor- nous appetite for prunes awaits them as soon as the conditions of interna- tional trade are settled
 It is therefore the American public that is to suffer and not the prune grower. The prune is becoming scarce on the American market, and therefore high priced. Above all, the best prunes will go abroad, and America will get mostly the small and meaSly pruneS In this way one of the most valuable fruits produced in this country is apt to be taken away from us
 For it is generally agreed by experts that the prune has high value in the diet. The trouble with our winter diet is that it does not contain enough fruit Fresh fruit is very expensive in winter So is canned fruit of a good grade Dried fruit is the poor mans best hops of healthy winter diet. And tn, prune is the prince of dried fruits. | is the most delicate, the most easily prepared, and the one which can b' most easily restored to a condition lik, that of fresh fruit. Take large, higl grade prune, soak it in water owe night, and in the morning you vii have practically a ripe plum.
 The Prune's Bad Rep
 Why, if it has all these virtues, is tn prune fallen from favor? There ar several reasons. American housewive have never learned to cook prune properly. for one thing. For another imported prunes of small size and poo flavor long held the market here, be fore prunes began to be raised in thi country, and that gave the prune a ba name. It is that bad name. acquire iong ago, which keeps the prune out c it's proper place in the American diet. The problem is a psychological on' The prune has come to be considered plebeian dish. There can be no dout of that. To call man full of prunes is to malign both his intellect and his social standing. The implication is

The Functions of Fire.

Phoenix has many small town earmarks, of the most marked being the tendency of the popuace That is human tendency, desire to witness swift and lurid destruction It is manifested everywhere but in the regulated cities is kept under control by the enforcement of ordinances
 We have ordinance in Phoenix for the control pf it, but it is not enforced. When fire alarm Is sounded the to the conflagration is mmedi- atey filled with struggling humanity "on foot. in carriages and horseback" but mostly in auto mobiles, which take up more room. They crowd about the fire closely the heat of the flames will permit so that the frefghters find themselves handicapped by lack of elbow room. That was what happened at big fire on Wednesday night
 It should be impressed upon citizens that fires be put out and not for the entertainment of the multitudes.

restored. Before cooking, in fact, prunes should be permitted to absorb as much water as they will hold.r
 Nine-tenths of the prunes produced in the United States are marketed dried Prunes intended for drying are allowed to become fully ripe and to drop from the trees. As -ripened fruit is considerably richer in sugar than that obtained by shaking the tree and gathering before ready to fall, it may be seen that the prune-dried-- contains all the lusciousness of fruit plucked fresh. "Plumped out again with soaking sn water the fruit regains it's original virtues unimpaired- Where Prunes Grow Practically the entire crop of the United States is grown in four west ern states-California, Oregon, Idaho and Washington. To California be- longs the hocor of having introduced the production of the prune in this country. Foreseeing the possibilities
 of the fruit energetic growers of that state imported the finest trees, en-
 gagged the most expert horticulturists
 and started in to show the people oi
 the United States what real pruns
 looked and tasted like.
 | The prune lovers point to the fact that the prune prejudice exists only | in the United States. Canada ma,
 have been inoculated slightly. but hel | increasingly insistent demand fo' | prunes from the United States indi- cates that she has recovered. The do
 minion government recently took of the import duty on dried prunes ans
 the big western growers immediatel, lgrasped the opportunity offered to dis bose of their crops to friendly handl and sent agents over the line to talk torders
 Nor is the market for the Yanke' prune growers limited to Canada ant the United States. England, Belgium and Germany, the growers declare, ar hungry for the American prune ant free frein prejudice against prunes O any kind. The prune lovers Of tn United States are being threatene' with prune starvation and the threa lis bringing them out into the open shameless, determined fight to the las Iditch for prunes.
 Last year the price of prunes wen
 skyrocketing at the whisper that ther
 would be a shortage. And yet the cro
 of 1919 was nearly a million pound heavier than that of 1920. The prun , lfiends are afraid. Prunes at 50 cent ; a pound are not an impossibliitl Prejudice, enlarged market. increase | cost of labor transportation-all the } feel. are conspiring to deprive ther of prunes.

Folks in the Mas.

It is curious fact that people in the mass are not wise moral the individuals who com pose the Yet hear and 1t is true that in union there is strength and. in counsel wisdom Here paradox. but it may easily be explained away. There is strength in union, and wisdom in counsel only when there is organization under a strong wise leadership. But organization under such leadership does not always make morals in the but rather frequently for the opposite of morals.
 Some in the early days of the world war made what seemed to him to be interesting discovery regarding the Turk that individually he was gentle man, courteous. and kindly and reliable. but the mass devil.
 The same may be said in degree of every nation. Governments in their dealings with one another will resort to practices-overreachng disre- gard of solemn agreements--which as individuals they would not think of doing. may take smaller organizations. the small corporation. It will often do things which individual could not do and hope to retain the confidence of his neighbors
 There Is strength in mere numbers. Without organization there is added weakness. there is the ever-present danger of confusion and panic the strength of the numbers wasted in struggles within the being incapable of being directed against a enemy toward common object
 Men who think straight and coolly alone or within small suddenly engulfed in large ones lose their heads and become incapable of thinking at all. Their actions become primitive and pitifuI

Catechism On the
Constitutional Amendment
(Elizabethtown News)

| E1ZabetntOWn News
What is the purpose Of the pro
posed amendment to the consti-
tuition in regard to the State
School superintendent?
To take the election of that
officer away from the people and
give it to a commission On the
grounds that the people are not as
well qualified to select such an Of
ficer as a commission would be.
| Have the people demonstrated
any special ignorance in the sell
ection of a State Superintendent
in the ppast? No. The State SUI
! perintendents for the past + forty
years have been schoolmen. sci
ected by both parties. and no com
mission could do better than The
people have done in this respect
f the amendment is adopted
how is tits commission to be
named? The Legislature will have
the right to decide that matter
1t may give the Governor the
power or it may exercise it and
name the Commission.
What do the advocates Of this
amendment mean when they say
its object is '1o take the schools
out Of politics p
This is a missioner for the pur-
pose of deception. Nothing CON
nected with the state government
has ever been taken out Of poll
tics whether the officer is elected
or appointed.
Does the State Superintendent
play politics in the administration
of the schools?
We think not. No more than
the Court OF Appeals plays poll
tics i'll deciding cases
Was not the law passed by the
last Legislature to make the office
OF County School Superintendent
appOintive instead of elective for
the purpose OF taking that off. &c
out of politics?
eS, but II has not done so
Every democratic county has a
democratic superintendent and
every republican county has a
republican superintendent.
Why should the people especial
ly have the right to name this
official?
Because the people pay hall OF
their taxes 20 maintain schools
and they should have the right
to name the officer who disbur5es
their tax money.
