MOTORISTS who carefully select an
exnensive tire and then "economize'
on tubes are "saving at the spigot and
wasting at the bung-hole."
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.
A Diamond Tube in a Diamond
Casing makes the Ideal equipment.

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY New

tween the first and second stinesters
of our course at Columbia Universi
ty. 1 will" send a line or two to The

We will attend services at 11 a. m.
today' at the Cathedral of St. John
the Divine (Episcopal) near the uni
versity. 1 am told this church has
been under construction now for
some fifteen or twenty j-ears and
they hope to complete it some time
in the future. It is said to be Amer
ica's, largest church and. I am told
third In the world.

On our arrival here Tuesday af
ternoon, after preliminaries were attended-
to. we were treated to two
adircs-v In the chapel that we shall
long remember. The first was by
by President 'Nicholas Murray Duller
of the Institution, on the part Franc
has taken In behalf of weaker peo
ples struggling for freedom through
out history. The second was by
Fred R. Smith, former international
secretary for the Y. M. C A., who
spoke from wide personal experience
in the war soce. Cut space will not
permit me to enumerate.
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. It left every man who
heard it with nm vastly deeper sens
ot the mission he was upon, and In
creased eagerness to get Jnto action.

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
