ABOUT THE PRICES OF IMS It EPS They Are Being Taken at Four and a Half to Five . Cents a Pound There have been published rumors that some of the canneries were trying, to buy evergreen blackberries at four cents a pound, and that perhaps a lot of the ever greens would not be picked.: There were early cannery bales of these berries at five cents a pound ; some higher, it is Maid. The Paulus cannery is now paying four and a half cents. Another buyer Is paying, four .and three quarters cents. : The Starr ; can nery has been paying five cents. It is plain that in the face of these offers, no evergreens will go at as low as four cents, and it is not likely that very many, ven the wild ones, will be allowed to go to waste.

KIWANIS CLUB CAPTURES SERVICE CLUB'S HONORS (Continued from pact 1.) men." The Lions club and the Ktwan ians entered the lists first to en gage in a baseball game, and sur prised all the sideline critics by Playing a game that really looked like baseball. The Kiwanians end ed the long end. of a 4 to 2 score after five innings that must j have seemed five years to Umpire: Tom Kay.j--r ' I Fred Broer, who pitched for the winners, threw them past the bat ters so fast that they could hardly see them. Neither could W. H. Hertzig, -who did the catching, as he absorbed a good many on his shins. The rest of the Kiawan ians surprised everyone by Splay ing almost errorless baseball, which so dumfonnded the Lions that they could do nothing but let them win. spending all their fury in roaring at the umpire. Next they adjounred to j the arena, where the Lions proceeded to revenge themselves handsome ly by beating the Kiwanians twice at a tug of war, each time winning after but a few short seconds The Kiwanians had George W. Hug, the local school superintendent, as anchor man. Out he proved to be not much of an anchor, for he dragged each time instead cf stop ping the Lions' rushes. j After this brief but j decisive contest, the Kiwanians again took the field,, in volleyball with! the Rotarians as their opponents. They managed to win their second victory of the evening-with! the help of darkness. The shades of ugh came down -about the time the weary - athletes were strugg ling in the second game of a three game set, and the third game was shortened. A3 each team won! one of the first two games, and the Kiwanians took the .third, thereby keeping the Rotarians: from get ting a chance to feel the Joys ot victory. , ; . S- j , The lineup of the Kiwanians la this game, included Wenger, Bar rick, Annunsen, Brown, Hull and Hertrog. while Rotarians used Hug, HIlburn. Gleason, Ritchie, Miaear and Ward. .

DANGER FROM FIRES SL IIR ON BLONDES MAY BRING STRIKE Zeisfield Regrets Statement That Gentlemen Prefer Brunettes NEW YORK. July 23. (By Associated Press). The war of the blondes is on. Up in arms because of the statement of Florenz Ziegfeld that gentlemen prefer brunettes, about 20 blonde members of the chorus of Ziegfeld review have organized and voted to go on strike next Wednesday unless the producer retracts his statement, it was announced to day. "If anyone thinks this is a joke." said Paulette Goddard, leader of the blonde strike com mittee, "he is In error. When Mr. Ziegfeld denies that blondes are popular, and when he seeks to exclude them from his next show, the effect on us is very, very seri ous. Our blonde complexion is our capital and when Mr. Zieg feld rates us below brunettes, he hurts our standing. It his views are followed by other producers as they are likely to be, it may become hard for blondes to obtain positions." The striking chorus girls say that they Will ask a 50 per cent increase in their salaries as com pensation for injury already done them. Vindication, however, is what they most want, Miss God dard explained. Mr. Ziegfeld denied that he had disparaged blondes, and said he loves them as much as ever. "If they want to strike," the producer said, "let them strike. Anybody that wants to strike dur ing this weather is welcome." Miss Goddard explained the presence of several girls w.ith dark eyes and hair in the ranks of the strikers with the statement that "blondeness is a state of mind. She. said that Mr. Ziegfeld's re marks about blondes had caused the blondes of his chorus to be subject to a great deal of ridicule. Even the stage hands, she said, point at them and say "you are out." FASCIST ITALY HOLDS NO THREAT FOR PEACE (Continued from paga 1.) there is a 'clear parallel, for ex ample; between your civil war and our recent economic civil war. The doctrine of state rights, prev alent before your civil war, car ftd to the extreme the theory that f he states had the rights to secede from the union, resembled the doctrine prevalent in Italy before the advent of fascism, of class self defense and regional autonomy. "In" the United States it was necessary to fight a frightfully de structive war to affirm the aulliot ity of the federal government, while we were able, with compor atively bloodless struggle, to af firm the authority of the central ttatal organism. "The American government re sembles the fascist state more than any liberal democratic government of Europe. Popular sovereignty is tempered by strong governmen tal authority. Universal suffrage elects the government but cannot interfere with its work as is un fortunately the case in European democracies. "Your pioneering period neces sarily produced imperialism. So must ours. The difference in type between our imperialisms is ex plained by certain fundamental differences between the two na tions and peoples. America had a tradition of freedom. Italy h?a one of enslavement to foreigners. America was protected by !ier iso lation, was overflowing with na tural riches, while Italy was poor in land aud materials. America had a 'st territory sufficient for all her people, while Italy'r. sur- Rainbow Jelly Beans Regular Price 30c lb.

" Yi t the two nations have much in common. Both are vung, healthy and full of confidence and determination to possess strength and prosperity. Our soil it not rich, but whatever It contain., we are determined to utilize, miking science ".ielp the trrength of our arms. our cultural neniage is among the richest in the world; our racial vitality is trcmer.dous: our thi-Bt for riches and prosper ity cannot be denied. We must expand or suffocate. "Nationalism in America 13 no less str sug than in Italy. Both nations seek achievement, and progress is sought with religious ardor. Our religion of national ?sm is less material because wc must depend upon spiritual rc souices as much as physical. Our imperialism like yours is not. a threat to world peace. Ameri cans should seo to the injustice of accusing us of militarism. "You, safe across tho Atlantic, your army, navy and air forces ready to resist attack and to resent any insult to your national honor. Ve in the midst of centuries old hat reds and having Just won our in dependence after- generations of slavery, surely cannot be criticized for protecting ourselves and keep ing ourselves prepared. "But there Is such a tremen dous gulf in type, tradition and history between the United States and fascist Italy, that something more than good will is needed for mutual understanding. In con nection with such a basic matter as our condemnation of liberalism and democracy, Americans can not arrive at a clear understanding without knowing our yesterdays as well as todays. Here I am afraid they have had little or no adequate guidance. Fascism is a profoundly Italian phenomenon, intimately connected with our his tory. Psychology and tradition are culminating along complicated political evolution. Without ac curate knowledge of sources, with out marginal and foot-notes, just analysis is impossible. "Foreign journalists, failing to take the true historical perspec tive, have been deluded into fol lowing erroneous clews. For ex ample, they have popularized the notion that the origin of fascism can be found in the post-war peri od alone; that it is merely an other of the numerous reaction ary explosions directly due to the vorld war. These are ridiculous blind alleys." "Fascism is the expression of the political genius of our people binding together in ideal form the Latin state lessons and traditions of two milleniums of history. The war awoke o.ur souljroni lethargy, It helped but did not cause the birth of fascism.

It has already achieved the moral rehabilitation ot the people. It will give them pros perity. It has cut a way through gross apathy. "For the first time in our his tory it has really fired the flames of patriotism. Our people no longer are socialists, liberals- na tionalists or Genoese, Neapolitans nor Milanese. They are Italians, with .pride in themselves and their country, self respect and self confidence. "Italy had imposed upon her by false friends the idea that she was weak and doomed to permanent debility; that subjection to the insults of foreigners was a fatal necessity; Bhe had bad doctors, caring more for fees than for the health of the patient. For gener ations the scoundrels kept dor mant the will power of our people, allowing them to be the prey of stronger nations, the butt of the world's contempt. "Fascism has stepped in to prove that the past of so many woeful centuries is a lie. Italy is awake, healthy, thirsting for the power so long denied her.
