When this is explained, we can judge better regarding the crime in incubation. The Ku Klux Klan claims that it carried the election. Is the Journal afraid that the klan, whose existence it has never officially discovered, is to be cheated out of its fruits of victory namely spoils, by a wicked republican senate? The federated "patriotic" societies outside the 100 percent patriotic klan, of whose existence, the Journal has remained in ignorance, also claims credit for winning the election. Does the Journal mean' that the dispised and rejected republicans are going to keep these patriots out of office ? Leaders of the Grange and of the Farm Bureau and of other organizations who make an easy living by farming the farmer, also assert that they won the election by deliv ering the farmers' vote. Is it possible that those sneaking senators are going to swipe the jobs these farmer-farmers have promised themselves ?

ORGANIZATION 10 MODIFY DRY LAW LAUNCHED St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 20. (By Associated Press.) Stepa to or ganize the wet forces In every state to obtain modification of the Volstead act were discussed at a two-day meeting of the National Association Opposed to the Prohi bition Amendment, which began here today. Predictions were made by dele gates that the liquor question probably would be the principal issue of the 1924 presidential elec tion as a result of claims being made that the wets won a sweep ing victory in the recent general election. Denial that a third major party favoring amendment o the Vol stead law was planned, was made by delegates who said that wet candidates of either the republi can and democratic parties would be supported, and that where can didates ot both major parties were i'ound not suitable, an independ ent nominee would be supported oy the association. William L. Fish, who assisted n the election of Governor Ed wards of New Jersey to the Uni ted States senate on a light wine iud beer platform, emphasized that the prohibition question would be the principal issue in the next general election. People all over the country are clamoring tor a chance to express hemselves on the prohibition juestion," he said. country, with the exception of Ire land. Finland received 250,000 oounds. England has bought 5,000,000 pounds so far this sea eon and Germany, 250,000 pounds. However, Germany Is buying small-sized prunes this year most ly from southern Europe. Holland is also a good customer for Oregon prunes, according to Mr. Paulus. This' country will re ceive 500,000 pounds. The French will consume 1,000,000 pounds and the Scandinavian countries 750,000 pounds. Every large city in Canada Is a shipping point for Orcgvn prunes this season. In the United States the association will ship to 83 cities, buying in car lots. Small Sizes Sole. Due to the extremely hot weath er early in September the Ore gon crop of prunes will run fully 90 per cent 40-503 and 50-60s in size. The temperature stood at 108 during the September hot period in Douglas county and 101 In Marion county. Mr. Paulus is of the opinion that the price for the unsold por tion of the prune crop will de pend upon how soon the consum ing public clear the shelves ot re tailers. Also upon the big propo sition of deliveries, all of which are now slow on account of the general, buyers in Salem are In car shortage. Taking the prune market in clined to take a generally favor able view of the situation, with the entire crop at present 75 per cent sold. PRUNE PRICES ADVANCE (Continued from Page One.) he present crop Is In growers aands or stored by Independent packers awaiting a market. The present slowness in the prune market Mr. Jenks attributes to jlow deliveries and the general shortage of cars. However, Mr. Jenks says that prunes are going last into con sumption as soon as received in he eastern markets. He looks for 4 strong prune market and a con tinued demand. This is due, he jays, to the shortage of the Cali fornia crop which fell about 20, J0O.OOO pounds below early esti mates and to the general demand throughout the country tor the larger Oregon prunes. R. C. Paulus, manager of the Oregon Growers Cooperative asso ciation, places an estimate ot 52, 000,000 pounds for this year's prune crop in the northwest, which includes Clarke county, Washington. Association Sales Large About 50 per cent of this crop is controlled by the association, almost all of which has been sold. To be exact, Mr. Paulus says that the association has sold 19,000, 000 pounds of dried prunes and a tonnage of green prunes and prunes for canning that is equiva-' lent to 500,000, dried prunes. The association's books show receipts of 20,000,000 pounds. The halt a million pounds owned by the Association and unsold will be delivered to the market in small quantities, Mr. Paulus says. Last year the Oregon Growers handled 7,500,000 pounds, com pared to the 20,000,000 to be dis posed of this year. Export Sales Large. The association has shipped this year, prunes to every European Ctltsshori.4 Lolds The open, road yesterday called two Indian girls, students at the Chemawa Indian school, and they left the Institution, according to a report to the police.
