NOTHING THE MATTER WITH PRUNES
Howard C. Rowley, publisher of the California Fruit
News, San Francisco, visited Salem on Friday. He is a good
authority on matteW concerning fruit growing and market
ing on this coast --';0-; ;-: - ' , j,
' And his opinion concerning the prune market is of crreat
value to the growers of the Salem district. 1
Mr. Rowley told a Statesman representative that it is
his opinion that the prune market will be all rhrht that
there will be found a demand
cured this year
And at remunerative prices, if there can be a proper
handling of the stipply; if there is not a stampede to sell
at low prices. I
His estimate of the conditions agree with the state
ments mad.e by H. S. Gile in
Rotary club on Wednesday. That is, that there ! will be no
surplus of prunes; that in fact there will be a world shortage,
based on the consumption bf last, year.' r V j
It is not likely that the
eat less prunes than they took
Mr. Rowley has some ideas of his own concerning the
ultimate and proper outcome
ing. He believes that all growers should be organized. He
thinks that is the only hope of sure stabilization. But it is
his own conviction that every considerable prune" growing
district ought to have its own cooperative (organiza
tion, because this will permit of. the-element of competition ;
friendly competition, which he regards as important. ' He
illustrates his idea in this way; There is a district in Cali
fornia that has very high priced lands, and 'that! produces a
comparatively small tonnage according to the acreage, i An-
other California ; district has-cheaper lands, arid produces
more prunes to the acre than the other district.! Therefore
1 the' last named district can put prunes on the market at a
I lower price than the former district, and still keep the in
! dustry on a paying .basis,7 He thinks this -principle ought to
be recognized. He thinks one great selling organization for
many districts would stifle this principle of competition, and
discourage a friendly rivalry for bringing labout the best
methods and practices attainable on the part of the produc
ers and packers. ; - --
' Mr. Rowley did not say anything in the wayof compari
son of the cheaper, and more productive lands and the em
ployment of the most approved and latest discovered prac
tices (of the leaders in the prune industry in the Salem dis
trict, as compared with California conditions - i . x
. . But he might have done so, without disparagement to
our own section and our own .growers. j
However, the thing now is to pick and dry all the; prunes
i And then to feed the product; into the world markets as
the consumers need them, with whatever advertising methods
the men in charge of the marketing may find the most effec
tive for the money cost ' - ,. . ' j " ,-; '

THE INTANGIBLE WORLD.
J ; j (Copyrighted by the San Jose Mercury.)
ri The little insect that flies about in the air or, crawls upon
the earth has no conception of the higher and larger life that
surrounds him, and his vision j and knowledge extend no
further than the very limited environment in which he lives
and moves. So men, who compared with the Creator and the
eize and number of His creations, are little more than mere
specks like the gnat or the flea, have no adequate conception
and comparatively limited knowledge of the. creation that
surrounds them. Man's natural vision and knowledges like
the lesser forms of life, are confined very largely to his im
mediate environment. He may speculate about the things
that are not, embraced in his personal experience and may
acquire some superficial knowledge about them,! but the wis
est men know comparatively little beyond what their exper
ience in their own environment brings to them.' j
; If this be so of the material world how much more true it
is of the unseen, intangible part of creation, the world of mind
and spirit. Some are so unconscious of the existence of the
intangible world that they do not recognize that thoughts
are things just asj real as bird or beast or flower, and shape
our lives as certainly as the sunshine, air and rain shape the
life of the trees and flowers. This intangible world is the
world in which we really live. Our physical organizations
are fed and builded by the material things we assimilate, but
bur characters are shaped by the thoughts, desires and aspi
rations with which we are absorbed, by the silent, unseen in
fluences which reach us from every avenue of life.
. "Guard well, O heir of eternity, the portal of, sin, the
thought." If your thoughts, desires and abmitions be evil,
low and groveling your life and character inevitably take the
same course in their development. On the other hand the
good, unselfish, saintly, beautiful character has found its sus
tenance and the conditions for its growth in the pure, unsel
fish and holy thoughts, desires, and ambitions which make
up the real world in which the
has lived and moved and had
"Out of each moment some
Something to winnow and scatter again,
All that we listen to, all that we read.
All that we think of. is gathering seed.
That which we gather is that which we sow,

When we have finished with time 'twill be known
How we' have gathered and how we have sown.

and the spiritual world, few
have been taught that these
because the Bible thus teaches or someone in wftom tney have
confidence tells them so. They do not know this as a result
of their own experience. . - . ,
The Bible, written for our admonition and guidance in this
world, teaches that there are unseen yet most powerful spirit
ual forces which it impossible for men to use, and that there is
a spiritual world more real than anything, the physical crea
tion can supply. Indeed the later books of the Old Testament
and the four Gospels of the New Testament are largely ex
emplifications of these forces and of the spiritual world of
which they are an expression.
Did not Jesus declare, "If ye have faith and doubt not, ye
V.nil nn1if tUia wViioVi io dnno in iha fitr trpp. hilt alsn
Ioiiaii nut vxitjr vtv iiiifi T so v. v v -e - -v
if v shall sav uiito this mountain. Be thou removed, and be
thou cast into the sea; it shall be done?" By the power of
this same faith it is recorded that Daniel closed the mouths
of the lions that otherwise would have devoured hfcn ; that
Shadrach, Meshachand Abednego were protected from the
fire, that otherwise would have consumed them, without
even the smell of fire on their garments. Buy this spiritual
force Jesus, and the disciples and the apostles healed the sick
and produced instantaneous results that nothing of a physical
nature can duplicate or exceed. s "
The New Testament may still be largely a prophecy of
what men are to reach in the spiritual development of the
race, still many in this age have by spiritual forces healed
diseases and done many other wonderful things. To deny it
is to deny the strongest of human testimony.
Because most people have no real knowledge of the spirit
ual world, its laws, location and conditions, they have looked
upon death as the "King of -Terrors," the most terrible thing
that comes to men, instead of being the beginning of a larger
life.1 Because their spiritual senses are largely still dormant
they have been led to believe that death was the entrance to
that condition of eternal -punishment decreed for three
fourths of His children by an allwise and loving Creator, or
to the eternal place of bliss to which for a select few death
will open the door. i ,
Most of us have not learned to look upon death as George
S. Merriman looks upon it. "No man," he declares, "who is
fit to live need fear to die. Poor, timorous, faithless souls
that we are! How we shall smile at our vain alarms when
the worst has happened! To us here death is the most ter
rible thing we-know. But when we have tasted its reality
it will mean to us birth, deliverance, a new creation of our
selves. It will be what health is to the sick man. It will be
what home is to the exile. It will be what the loved one given
back is to the bereaved. As we draw near to it a sort of
solemn gladness should fill our hearts. It is God's great
morning lighting up the sky. ) Our fears are the terror of
children in the night. The night, with ts terrors, its dark
ness, its feverish dreams, is passing away; and when we
awake it will be into the sunlight of God." : '

RECOGNIZING MEXICO
, There Is a far cry from Dial to
tObregon. There have been tons
of Jlood shed, thousands of lives
taken, billions in property de
stroyed and what is worst of all,
It has not accomplished anything.
There Is no use talking, we must
quit writing history in blood. The
Mexican 'revolution that resulted
in the elimination of ; Diaz was
practically bloodless, but instead
of settling down to business the
country ran wild and had an orge
of blood shed. ; Order was restor
ed only when therring factions
were completely exhausted.
Mexico starts just where she left
off-ten years ago. with a huge
nightmare between then and now.
WAR AND MONEY
It is a fact that no nation can
engage in" war without money and
that has been looked upon as one
of the preventatives of-war. It
is not. however. The -spirit Is
strong enough to force money to
act. Italy is in no shape to go
to war with Greece, and yet Italy
knows that if It Roes to war It
will be able to borrow the money
to carry it on. It Italy was un
able to borrow ta la money there
would be no war. j v I
Another peculiarity of war Is
that it is always carried on with
borrowed money. Posterity al
ways has to pay the bills. It never
finances Itself as it goes along.
Men are reckless In pledging pos
terity and loading It up with the
most onerous burdens. If a na
tion could not Iseue bonds or bor
row money there would never be
a war. 1 .

KERVIXG WITH MONEY
In this age, of ' service, every
jnan must use the Implements at
hand to do his bit. There are
some men who can serve in one
way. some in another. ' Some men
can give their time to leadership.
Others can write checks to keep
that leadership In action. Money
does not serve directly. Money Is
a selfish, sordid thing in itself.
and yet., it is the most , easily di
rected instrument of helpfulness
in the world. There is just one
thing It's owner has to do. He
.must fut It 'where j there is work
to do. - He cannot write check
and leave it on his table and have
that money go to work. He must
hand the check to -somebody who
Is working, to enable that some
body to keep going or to increase
speed. Our playgrounds ; are a
case In point. They have done a
wonderful work this summer. This
work was made possible by money.
The $300 contributed simply
meant that the contributors hand
ed over so much money with the
injunction that it go to work. No
contributor paid enough to go very
far. but when! the dollars sub

STOVE , PIPES OF PLATINUM !
It seem unbelievable to us that
a metal of the value of platinum
of which the most expensive and
choicest jewelry is made, and
which -at the present time is the
most popular material for wedding
and engagement rings, should a
few years ago have been emplay
ed in the composition of the most
ordinary household articles.
When a deposit of platinum
was discovered in the Ural moun
tains j in Russia about 50 years
ago, the Russian government min
ed it and attempted the use of it
in Russian coins. But it met with
little 'enthusiasm and the coins at
last were discarded. The deposits
were so extensive that the mater
ial was very cheap. Manufactur
ers used it for purposes little bet
ter than those of tin. Cooking
utensils of platinum, platinum
umbrella handles, even platinum
buttons on policemen's coat fronts
were common in tbat country.
A few years later, when the
supply of platinum was almost ex
hausted, its use as a material for
jewelry making was begun. The
material was so hard to find that
it was, of course, very expensive.
A wholesale jeweler in this coun
try decided to, send buyers to Rus
sia to purchase quantities of the
articles for which platinum had
been used. The men sent out
were i unsuccessful, for the Ger
mans had been there first and
bought up every available bit of
platinum, and as one man wrote
back.j "Thjjre is not even a platl- j
num stovepipe left."
