Oaken ' The state law segardiag tha weight of straw berry packages is being violated on every sida by growers, and some of them ara likely ta' be called before the authorities before many days. Strawberries should weigh 18 pounds, to tha crate, or 20 pounds with the box added. Much of the fruit that baa been marketed here to data this season hss ran about two pounds per crate below the lawful standard and many complaints arc being mad by dealers .and consumers re garding this violation. The matter has already bees called to the at tention of the state authorities gad quick actios ia expected to follow. With the high prices In affect for berries and the fact .that a year or n ago the making of a standard crate of smaller size than formerly aiding the growers, consumers and dealers bare complained that even the present small gixed package is not being filled. Those desiring special information regarding any market, should write the Market Editor, eq cloaing stamp for reply. , Idaho Fruit Loss Is Greatly Exaggerated Spokane. Wash., Msy 80. Reports of fruit damage by frost ia Southern Idaho have been greatly exaggerated, in tha opinion of P. II. Parks, general manager of the Spokane Fruit Growers' company, who baa returned from a trip through' the fruit sections of that district. "Indications are that Southern Idaho will have a big crop of Jonathans," said Mr. Parks. "That represents the big part of the apple tonnage from that district. Later developments have shown that the frost damage is much less than first reports indicated.. "Prunes bave been hit some,' but there will be a big crop. In some isiolated sections heavier damage has .been done." j Hood River Berry Crop Is Moving Hood River, May SO. Fine, warm weather, which has prevailed for the past three days, has ripened the strawberries rapidly, and from a few crates which came in last week, the quantity available has increased rapidly, until last en ning the Apple Growers' association made up its first carload for the Middle West. There is a strong demand here for pickers and packers, the condition this year being abnormal. In past years plenty of pickers hav been avail able, even before harvest time, but in spite of the higher prices for labor prevailing bere, the shortage in help ia so marked that it threatens to become serious. The price is good this year, early berries be ing quoted at $4.50 to 85.00. and there is every prospect of a strong market prevailing throughout the season. Growers report that, while the berries are uniformly at good size, the crop will be lighter than usual. SHEEP SALES ARE HEAVY AT DAYTON, WASHINGTON Dayton, Wash., May 80. The R. A.

Mr. Barnes said that these figures show what be bad emphasized four week aao. that, in spite of the large contribution of wheat and wheat flour to our allies' need, and to the relieved countries of Europe, there is being preserved at' home a suf ficient supply of wheat and wheat flour for all our people, and the excitement and advance in flour price created by erroneous statement of tje situation was at no time warranted. Con sumers and the trades hav realized this, and flour prices have relaxed, while the excited buy ing which some weeks ago bordered ea the sen sational has entirely quieted.

By Paal Beott Mewrer Special Cable to The Journal and Tha Chicago Daily Nowe. (Copyright, 1919, by Chicago Daily Nw Co.) : Paris, May 30. Every day that passes makes American peace conference cir cles look more longingly towards tha League of Nations. "It is the world's only hop," one highly placed American official said to me. Indeed tha Impres sion is growing among Americans of all ranks that the peace treaty Is' un satisfactory and some- of the American delegates are - said to be outspoken in their disapproval. IDEALS 3JOT REALIZED There is reason" to believe that Presi dent Wilson himself, sees as clearly as anyone that the peace which is being made is far from the peace of which America dreamed when the war ended. His attitude is undoubtedly that be tween breaking up the conference by holding out strictly for the American principles, thus delivering the world over to complete anarchy, or com promising on peace with the hope that the League of Nations will ultimately save the situation, he felt obliged to choose the latter course. The peace proposed to Germany is far from realizing American ideals. The features of the peace which will be made with Austria. Bulgaria and Turkey are still unknown but the Indications at present are that they will fall even far ther short of what the Americans hoped arjd expected at the time of the armis tice. . BEST OF BAD BAEGAIJT This realization is causing disappoint ment around the Hotel de Crillon. Many people feel that it is only with deep regret that America, can put her name to these treaties. At the same time there is no suggestion that the treaties should be rejected. Practically everyone agrees that the only thing to do now is to accept them, bad as. they are, and concentrate all energies hence forth toward making the League of Na tions compensate in the future for tha evils of the present. .

Fourteen Points of the Bond Business Are Typhoid Germs Ravaging Your Community? Perhaps city or town, lacking a modern water system, Lis cursed by an epidemic of disease that is traceable directly to Impure water. Though the community is prosperous and ; has a brighfeommercial future, there are not sufficient funds in the city treasury to finance the construction pf the pipeline needed ot bring in fresh, pure mountain water. A trust company, by concentrating the energies and talerits of itr engineering, legal and financial experts, caa quickly and conve niently arrarege and finance a bond issue that will furnish the funds necessary to enable the city to pay for the improvement which is to substitute pure for impure water in these homes. , Bonds Serve in Developing the West If a new school house is needed, if dry acres are yearning for an opportunity to function their inherent productive pow- ers, if improved highways are wanted to develop the latent possibilities of a virgin country, if a new power plant is needed to harness up a God-give wealth of water power, bonds will ' serve. - .
