When an "inexpensive," leaky tube ruins a $20 or $30 casing, it becomes an extrav agance. Diamond Tubes, made in either Gray or Red rubber, are "horse-sense" economy. We could have made them cheaper and sold them more readily years ago. But now we have the permanent business of thousands of motorists who, after costly experiment with others, insist upon Diamond Tubes.

The greatest 'event of the first three days wa an address on Fri day night by Dan A. Poling, former ly of Dallas, Or. His subject was the same as that of Mr. Smith, but for an address containing the heights and depths of oratory, emo tion, passion of service and dynamic spirit, all founded upon and inten sified by the most thrilling exper iences under fire In the front line trenches, his address was at once a war classic.

J ' PRUNE GROWERS FIX UPON PRICE California Schedule with 8V-! . Cent Base Finds Favor at Meeting, N Trnne growers from various parts cf Marion and Polk counties to the number of seventy-fire were in at tendance upon the meeting held at the Commercial clnb rooms yester day afternoon, the object being to arrive at a fair maximum price on the various grades of prunes, and te select delegates to the meeting of northwest prune growers to be held in Portland Tuesdav mnrnlnr The delegates selected were Louis Lachmund, Fred Kurtz. B. 3. Miles, H. Poisel. Ed Jorr. L. T. Reronldn w. r. jenics. j. j. McDonald. F. E. Evans and Frank Flurbetx. Much time was spent In going over the schedule of grade prices issued to the California growers. The grow ers decided on this schedule with a base of 8H cents hut with 1 cent more for the 50s-60s run. Doubt was expressed as to whether the California schedule would cover he big increase in labor and packing cost. It will be one of the alms of the Salem delegation in Portland to arrange -with the head o' the food administration for an Increase of a cent on the 50s-60s grade, as It Is Anticipated that a large part of the crop in this part of the valley will run to those sizes. J. A. Taylor and J. White, of the Outte Falls Prune association were at the meeting and will report its action at a meeting to be held at Scott Mills .Monday. The Dallas and Roseburg growers have already held meetings, and In both It was recommended that a price of 11 cents b adopted for the 30s SSs grade, with a quarter of a cent drop for each decrease grade. . There was an exchange of exper ience and opinion as to picking and drying prjre. and it was tbe belief of the majority that -a large Increase In wages should be paid this year. As to tbe crop prospects, a number of growers commented upon the heavy; drop of fruit and predicted Dan W. Baas, one of tbe visitors in Salem yesterday.
