shooting other jays is not the best

throng who play the murder game;
they shoot some pilgrims as they go.
and then, for seven years or so, they
revel in their fame. Their names are
blazoned everywhere. and from the
public prints they stare, they're fea-
tured on the screen: they elbow out
the seer and sage, uplift the platform
and the stage, and gather in long
green. I'm tempted oft to shoot
hick, or fill him full of arsenic, or
some most deadly juice: but / was
taught in chjldhood's day that it's a
naughty thing to slay without some
good excuse. Ny father used to say,

possible to deport any criminal or
insane person who has been in
the country less than five years

pers."
During the course of his talk
he emphasized the need for strin-
gent immigration laws. In 1914,
the last year in which immi-
grants were not kept out by laws.
there were 1,2SO.414. BY means
of limiting the number allowed
to enter and making more strin-
gent laws such as requiring that
every person entering be able to
read in some language, that num-
ber has been cut to about one
tenth, Mr.. Bonham said.

DENY SHORTAGE:
OF PRUNES EXCEPT
IN THE 3O-4O SIZE

Denial that the Oregon Growers
Cooperative association is oversold
on it's orders for prunes generally,
and admission that the association
is short of its orders in some sizes,
notably 30-40s, was made this
morning by M. J. Newhouse.
"The Oregon Growers report no
overselling from the standpoint of
entire tonnage" said Mr.. New
house. Especially fine dry wealth
er is saving Oregon's large crop.
Due to extreme heat during the
first week in September, following
a week of rain, the ends of the
prunes shrivelled up, causing pre-
mature ripening. AS the bloom
ing season was two weeks late the
entire growing season was consid-
erably reduced and the crop is
about ten points short in sizes.
This is leading to a shortage Of
thirties. A normal percentage OF
forties is reported. The trade real
izing this shortage of thirties is
now adjusting itself to the condi-
tion."
Despite the statement of Mr..
Newhouse the fact remains that a
large percentage of the member
growers of the association admit
that their crops fell from 25 to 40
per cent of the estimates upon
which the associations early sales
were based, and that the shortage
is more marked in the 40-50 sizes
than in the smaller grades.
Independent growers, who were
first refused entrance into the as
sociation's pool and then invited
to sign UP their prune crops with
out advantage of the higher mar
ket quotations or the " cent adj
vance for picking and drying mon
ey, are now being sought by the
association with offers of the high
er quotations and the 2 V cent ad-
vance, or on an equal footing with
regular members.
