Growers Make
Big Shipment
Of Pru1les East

Twenty one thousand five hum
dred and fifty rs pound boxes of
30-40 Italian prunes are being
shipped to eastern and foreign
markets this week by the Oregon
Growers Cooperative association.
The prunes are being assembled at
Portland, from various Willamette
valley packing plants, pending
shipment by boat by way of the
Panama canal. Buyers are requir-
ing water shipments to be made
due to the extreme low rates
which have been prevailing re-
Gently. Water shipments make 4
possible to deliver prunes to VAR
ious eastern and European mar
kets averaging one cent per
pound less than when shipped by
rail overland.
1t is reported that there is q
limited holding Of prunes in the
first hand market on the west
coast, which indicates an early
clean up. The small buyers in the
eastern markets are offering
prunes below tho quoted prIces
which tends to render the market
unstable but since their holdings
are small and If the large buyers
obtain control of this stock, which
has been proposed, the market
will strengthen and prices will
doubtless take an upward turn,
At present there is a good demand,
but buying Is done in a small way,

Committee F vors
Fight To Prevent
Any Reductions .

indianapolis, Ind, Feb. IL
The wage scale committee, report
Inc to the special convention OF
tbe United Mine Workers OF
America here today, declared "in
the most emphatic manner our
opnosition to any reduction In
mining prices and insist that the
present basic wage schedules be
maintained"
Recommends Strike.
Under the discussion of policy,
The committee recommended a
general suspension of mining if
no agreement is reported by April
/, such action to be subject to
referendum vote of the union be-
fore March 81.
The committee making the de-
mand for retention of the present
basic wages said reduction
would lower the standard Of liv-
Ing among all miners and cause
poverty and suffering throughout
the coal fields.
It was recommended that any
wage scale agreement must be
submitted to a referendum vote of
the district affected.
Another recommendation pro-
vided that the committee ratify
the demand of the anthracite min
ers for a 20 per cent increase in
tonnage rates and a dollar a day
Increase for day men. The COM
mlttee declared for adjustment
Of the unequal differentials"
which would result in small in
creases in various fields.
Demands Drastic.
Other recommendations were
that all new agreements be based
upon an eight-hour day under
with time and one-half
for overtime; and double time for
Sundays and holidays; that week
ly pay days be instituted; that
the practice of filming miners for
certain breaches of contracts be
and that the soft coal
wage agreement be maintained
Ior two years extending from
April 1 next.

Chicago, Feb. 14.-Investiga-

third concern raided by authori-
ties within three days and be-
lieved by them to have swindled
foreign born citizens of more than
$1,500,000, was under way here

Within three days alleged
sWindles totalling approximately
$6,5O0,O00, according to conserva-

disclosed with the arrest Saturday
of Raymond ]. Bischoff and the
arrest yesterday of three employees
OF the Western Land Operators as
sociation and three employees Of
the American Novaculite COM

police to be the moving spirit in
the affairs Of the American No
vaculit company, and Charles
Urnich and Charles Phillips, gem
eral manager and president of the
Western Land Operators COM
pany, are sought by the police.
Offices Are Raided.
The raid on the offices of the
Western Land Operators company
was made last night at the re-
quest Of 800 creditors. Just as the
police believed they had establish
ed, a connection between the
working of Bischoff and Harring-
ton so have they come to the belief
that the Western Land Operators
company was connected with the
other two and that the three were
operating huge swindles jointly.

CLIMBERS
REACH TOP
OF RAINIER
Alpine Scalers First
To Set Foot On Peak
of Mountain During
Winter

Paradise Inn, Mount Rainier,
Wash, Feb. 14.-For the first
time in history the foot Of man
has trod the snow capped peak Of
Mountain Rainier in mid-winter.
This feat was accomplished Mon
day when four men, Jacques and
Jean Landry and Jacques Bergues,
Alpine mountain climbers, and
Charles r. Perryman, cameraman,
reached the top Of Columbia crest
after nearly ten hours Of torturing
toll.
Ice Crevasses Deep.
Starting from Anvil Rock rang
ers' cabin shortly after A a. m.
yesterday, the men toiled upward
past Gibraltar, hewing footsteps
on the ice crested rocks with
axes. The same method was fol-
lowed in ascending the heights be-
yond.
After passing these two points
they found the ascent somewhat
easier, but none the less danger
GUS. Crevasses in the ice field
forced them to detour and In
places where the going was steep
they had to use axes to cut steps.
They reached the crest at 2;15

Leave Complete Record.
However, in order to settle any
controversy as to the actual ac-
comp plishment, the mountain
climbers write their names, the
date and time on a slip OF paper
which was enclosed In a bottle
and placed in a cairn of stone.
Photographic evidence also was
obtained. Perryman obtained 400
feet of film showing Views at the
summit and also pictures of the
arduous climb. All records and
evidence will be submitted to a
commission of three men who
have first hand knowledge Of the
mountain and its condition,

EPIDEMIC
/ OF FLU Is
ON SALEM
Physicians Estimate
There Are Between
500 and 1000 Cases;
Students Hard Hit

Prominent local physicians ad-
mitted this afternoon that Salem
Is in the grip Of another influenza
epidemic. There are, doctors esti-
mate, between 500 and 1000 cases
of the disease in this city.
Physicians expressed the belief
that there is no cause for alarm
and opined that the epidemic is
losing it's hold. These beliefs
were borne out by reports from
school officials who said this
morning that many scholars, who
had been absent from school, now
are returning to resume their stu
dies.
500 Out of School.
At the present time, according
to school officials, there are ap-
proximately 500 students out OF
$500 in the local public schools
who are confined to their homes
with some kind Of an illness. Ap-
proximately Is per cent of those
enrolled are not attending classes
Influenza, lagrippe or bad colds
are, in most instances, responsible
for the absences, it was said.
Teachers Are Ill.
OF three representative physi-
clans, in close touch with the To-
cal situation, one estimated that
there are 1000 "flu" cases and
two believed that the number
nearer approximates 500. A
fourth said it would be impossible
for him to make a guess.
Students of the schools are not
suffering alone from diseases, it
vas said today, for many teachers
are on the sick list and school Of
fiicals have had some difficulty In
securing proper substitute in
structors.
ID Situation Improves.
"a I'm my opinion" one physician
said this afternoon, "the health
situation is better in Salem to-
day than it was three days ago. 1
am inclined to believe that it will
steadily improve from now on. !"
Epidemics of influenza have
been reported in several commun-
tiles near Salem but, this year,
the disease has been generally
spoken of as a three day fever"
or simply as "lagrippe."

of the way though you can tell the
moment you pass over the line be-

tho condition of the road, the Green
wood side being so much superior.
It esems to have a better grade OF

being kept up, while the Edgefield
end is full of holes all the way. Ev-
erv one seems to be hauling lumber,
and with the great amount that 1t

The Crime of Civilization

By E. Paul Knots, B. S., M. D.,
Health Officer, Newberry County
Health Department.
The greatest ideal that can inspire
and direct any body of people is that
one which leads to the betterment Of
mankind. This complex life, which
civilization has developed for US, may
be summarily divided into certain
distinct phases. Without intention
of being arbitrary, one might, say
mans life is essentially the sum OF
his mental, moral and physical well
being. In the consideration of these
vital factors, we will see that one is
neglected in large part. In the de-
velopment of the minds of the youth
of America great advancement has
been attained coincident with nation
al Standardization of the essential
factors of education. Our private
and public institutions of learning,
while far from ideal, yet they do
meet the emergencies of our present
day social, economic and political
life and in the main are satisfactory
to the greater mass of people.
From our earliest intelligence
starts our religious training. The
first complicated sentence taught to
the infant is usually prayer. The
sects, creeds and religious organlza-
tions are in great numbers and well
organized and while the Anglo-Saxon
civilization has not brought with 1t
the pinnacle of morality yet it is OBJ
vious that the field Of religion is
crowded with men and women OF
zeal and ability and with time they
will evolve the greatest issue which
man has got to face. Now there re-
mains that great domain which IS,
purely physical. Since no life is ev-

Mr.. A. S. Tompkins of Edgefeld
died on Saturday afternoon at five
o'clock. He was one of the leading
lawyers and business men of the
state and was active in all work for
the church and for civic righteous
ness. He was we'll known in Newber-
ry, as elsewhere throughout the
state. He was brother of the late
D. A.. Tompkins of Charlotte and in
addition to other relatives he leaves
a daughter, Mrs. John K. Aull, who
was formerly of Newberry, now of

health or happiness. Increasing den
sity of population and the swift re-
adjustments of civilization to chang
ing conditions and modes of living
has caused the older individualism
of American life, to surrender to col
lcctive or social modes of control and
action. This transition is not affect
ed without struggle. No one gives
up a privilege, even though it be an
odious one, without a protest. Yet
we have seen such vast and embrac-
ing movements sweep across all op-
position, such as national prohibition,
woman suffrage, compulsory educa-
ton and many other things as impor-
tant and affecting the daily life of
the individual.
Malaria, hookworm, typhoid fever,
tuberculosis and infant diarrhoel dis
eases are the big headliners that are
ravishing the blood of our great
country. All thees are absolutely
preventable. Then'is it not a most
terrible crime to allow them to per-
sist? Too. long have we tolerated
these dread conditions. Our supine-
ness constitutes an offense against
public welfare that is measured by
human lives. Since we know that
each of these conditions persist and
increase because our individual
homes and schools do not have pro-
per sanitation the crime rests at each
home We find houses that are sur
rounded with all that our great CIV
ilization has developed for the COM
fort of man and one that is an en-
bodiment of culture and luxury, yet
in the background of that home we
often find the most primitive sort of
sanitation. Perhaps the one great
force that operates against the cor
rection of such a condition is the in
tense conservatism that pervades the
home. Familiarity breeds contempt
and that family has been accustomed
to live under these conditions and
their fathers and their fathers faith
er did so and since comfort is not OBJ
viously increased in proportion to
the labor expended we would find
that, in many cases, the family would
not only not cooperate in removing
the condition but would resent the
inference that their fathers had not
been decent and that they in turn
had not exercised intelligent propri-
ETY. in the maintenance of their es-
tablishment. The point at issue is
this, that not always must we look
at poor Johns place. to find all the
harborcrs of disease producing con-
ditions for they can be found on the

place Of him who has prospered as

place Of him who has prospered as
well.
Statistics concerning the incidence
of the various diseases and the toll
of human lives each year, l regard
as out of place here. Yet to the stu
dent, he knows already; to the intel
ligent thinker l would invite him to
investigate; to every one l will de-
clare that the gauntlet is thrown
down for you to take up. The solu-
tion is obvious; it's to establish, pro-
perly maintain and to cooperate with
q competent public health organiza
ton. The work of this organization
to be somewhat as follows: the dis
semination of public health knowl-
edge; to hold clinics and demonstra-
tons for the public good and en-
Gghtenment; to visit individual
homes and to prevent the occurrence
and the spread of contagious diseas-
es; to maintain continuous child
welfare work; to deal with the ap-
propriate health issues peculiar to
the community; to do all that medi-
cal science has learned can be done
to make the life of the individual
healthier and happier.
This work we are trying to per-
form. The size of the territory and
the great number Of individuals con-
cerned operating with such a small
personnel of workers renders our
work difficult to carry out in all it's
phases. However, lack of coopera
tion on the part of the people is our
most potent handicap. 1t is such
people that are gathered here today
to whom we must look for that aid
which is. so essential to make this
work prolific of its greatest good.
Let us start with this beautiful build
ing that you all in cooperation with
Mr.. Aull have been 50 instrumental
in having er ted. Let the windows
be screened; a sanitary toilet provid-
ed for both boys and girls, a plan
worked out to abolish the common
drinking cup. Then we have started
the children of this community to
learn about sanitation and at the
same time we are protecting their
health.
May l repeat my opening sentence
and may it inspire you % a more
acute consideration of the problems
gone over" -"The greatest ideal that
can inspire and direct any body of
people is that one that leads to the
betterment of mankind"
Thrift is giving up the attempt to
