ROSEBURO, OREGON,
our i'kune
DUE mostly to peculiar and disastrous weatlier conditions
in other prune growing centers, notably in the Santa
Clara valley of California, the prune growers in the Umptjua
Valley ate in a most fortunate position. The California
prune crop is less than half and many Northwest orchards
have been touched by frost but the Umpqua Valley crop
promises to be larger than noinial. It is reported that buy
ers of prunes for future delivery are very active in this dis
trict right now. It is quite likely that there will be plenty
of prune buyers with us from now on until the crop is sold.
The two million pound shortage in the south must be made
up.
-Two warnings are timely right now. In the first place,
conditions being as they are, there is absolutely no neces
sity for any grower to sell his crop now. Just for the sake
of good bargaining, prices should be set in the district where
the prunes are scarce. It is far too early in the season now
for this valley with il3 large production, to set n price on
the 1929 prune crop.
The second warning is not really a warning but a hope;
a hope that prune prices will not go too high. Prunes are
common fruit, not a luxury, and at fair and reasonable
prices are consumed in great quantities. People who norm
allyTbuy prunes will turn to other and cheaper fruits or sub
stitutes if prune prices go beyond a reasonable limit. Merely
the fact that consumers refuse to buy high priced prunes
this year is not the disturbing factor because prunes will
be short. The danger from prune prices going too high is
that the impression is left in the minds of prune consum
ers is that "prunes have gone up" and such impressions have
an unhappy way of sticking in the minds of customers.
Few thing.) are more terrifying, or dangerous, than n
mob of excited human beings who have temporarily lost their
hearts. When several thousand people tried to hurry out of
the bleachers in the Yankee Stadium at New York the other
day : .because of a sudden shower, they seem to have trans
formed themselves into such a mob. As a result, two peo
ple' were trampled to death and fifty more were badly in
jured. Every individual in that in.ob, taken by himself, was
doubtless a person of sufficient sense to realize the danger
of .trying to jam a big crowd through narrow passageways.
But"a moment's panic caused each individual to surrender
his own judgment and move with the crowd. The result,
as always, was disastrous.
; ; There is nothing surprising in President Hoover's de
cisidn that the fifteen cruisers authorized by congress shall
be built as planned. Mr. Hoover has made it plain all along
that there must be armaments for defense and nothing was
subtracted from his position in this regard by his Mem
orial day speech in which he voiced the sentiment that the
leal' hope of peace in the world lies in international under
standings and mutual adherence to the spirit of the Kellogg
pact. The president has his ideals, but he accepts condi
tions as he finds them for the present.

CHICAGO'S BLIND
FIND THEIR WAY
TO $65,000 DOLE
( AxMortafr-tl 1'ri-fS I-un'iI Wiro)
CHICAGO. June 11. Blind men.
blind wnineii; 7uu of them; lapping
along wild their canes picking
their way careiully up the streets
of 19US West Poik street. Pen
shiners come for their dole.
So many blind people at one
time. So many different types of
blind people. Some wore the men
ilicant's sign. "1 am blind." Those
were the beggars who live by the
alms of those who can see, and
who can sympathize. Many others
came led by children; still others
in the care of adults. One or two
arrived in automobiles.
out of the Too who tupped their
uncertain w ay Into the county
agent's office yesterday, not one
was led by a dog. That seemed
strange to those who observed and
who had read stories of blind men
and the dns that lead them. But
ull can:. mI canes.
The Too represented ail hut n
few of iho Cook county blind eligi
ble for (piarH'Vly chocks. It is a
psychology nf t ho blind, said Jo
seph .Moms, director Of the office,
that they collect their checks in
person, net even depend ing upon
the mails. Ileing blind, they seem
to want to do tor themselves all
that they can.
Kneh check uiifi f.ir one dol
lar a day, paid half by the county
and half hy the state to every
blind person wh'se annual Income
is less than JU..",. Some pension

Thursday, June 13, all Douglas
county will have a chance to see
just bow an automobile Is made.
fc,vry buyer of an automobile
should have an opportunity to see
what lies payinc oui good money
for," says Roy Catching, of Hoy
Catching Motor company, and it Is
this firm belief in bis duty to the
people of Douglas county that is
prompting Mr. Catching to stage
an f xhihit.'oji that is said to he
unhpie in the annals of automotive
histnrv.
Nowadays all automobile look
good, and ft is therefore all the
more important for the prospective
buyer, before making his final
choice, to see for himself the ma
teria! and workmanship that have
been put into the car he Is thinking
of buying.
This miniature automobile show
will consist of an engineering ex
hibit, a phantom chassis, and a
color and style show, which has
been designed especially to please
the ladies.
All are welcome, and Mr. Catch
ing hopes you will be able to stay
for the -feature picture of a young
couple's adventures in Dynamic De
troit, the home of tiie automobile
industry. This picture was produc
ed at great expense and is one of
the best of its kind we've seen.
Silently and smoothly gliding
through the dep canyons of the
city'B busy streets, you can accom
pany these two young people on
their Bight-Hoeing trip to the mag
nificient new art center, the Itul
ian marble librtiry and art museum.
Underhand Tactics . . . .
and unfair practices, set in motion by envious interests, crum

impurities. So physicians not only smoke Luckies to relieve
the strain of professional duties they recommend them to
their patients.

by telling you about it now! Onlyi
don't niss the thrill of a cruise
over the city in one of the great1
trl-motor airplanes. It won't cost
)ou a ceut. !
Mr. Catching has been advised
that, owing to the demand in other
seciious of the country, the exhi
bition can only remain in Roseburg
for one day.
"Dynamic Detroit," the movie
that will be shown in the evening
is certainly a film that should be
utC'a by every one who is interest
ed !n bow our country has won and
holds her present foremost position
in the world of commerce. Detroit
is universally accepted as the home
of the automobile industry; and to
the American traveling abroad, it
is perhaps the large'number of Am
erican automobiles he sees on Ihe
streets of every city he visits, that
hrings home to him more than any
thing else our commercial su
premacy, and makes him proud to be
an American citizen.
We cannot all visit Detroit In
person. But tomorrow night we
cuu. through the medium of the sil
ver screen, see something of this
great city from the ground and
from the air. And we can go
through one of the biggest automo
bile plants in the world, and see
just how motor cars are made.
Mr. Catching extends a cordial
invitation to you all, to avail your
selves of this wonderful opportunity.
