The prunes have ripened dur

and the growers who at first

have been compelled to begin
about 10 days earlier,
Owing to the hop harvest still

in the city and community will be
required to get the big crop Into
the dryers.
The prune crop is bigger this
year than It has been for severa'
years past and the fruit is of ex
cellent quality, due, the growers
think, to the hot dry summer
weather and the rains ot several
weeks ago.

Bishop Aftimios Attends;
Portland Convention; Is
Guest at Kafoury Home
A ' distinguished ecclesiastical
visitor came to Salem Saturday
as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. N.
C. Kafoury. He is the Rt. Rev.
Aftfantos, head of the Syrian Greek
Orthodox mission church In all
North America and Cuba, .with
his headquarters In Brooklyn and
his field one-fifth the surface ofl
vne earia.
He came to the coast to attend
the great Eposcopal church gen-1
eral convention. The Syrian
Greek church, which Is the state
church Of Russia, claims to be the!
oldest of all Christian organiza
tions. It now controls the head
church in Jerusalem, and its real
center is the temple in the Holy
City, built over where the tomb of j
The Master of all churches is bVJ
lieved to lie. This edifice they
yielded for other Christians to
worship in.
The church is so closely akin
to the Episcopal church in form,
in teachings and in its history
that the Syrian bishop felt at
home in coming to the Episcopal
conference in Portland, in the in
terest of even closer unity.
Bishop Aftimios wears constant
ly his formal ecclesiastical robes,
a striking, oriental garb that
would attract attention anywhere.
He came to Salem as a guest ot
the' Kafourys, especially to see a
little more of the far west than
he bad ever visited. They took
him out through the prune or
chards, for a long, delightful:
drive, which he said was : like
nothing that he had ever before
known. He has been In America
for 17 years, and speaks English,!
