Pagre Six THEN SHE AROSE SUDDENLY Friday, Sept. 1, 1922 Cldorly Lady Discovered She Had Made Wrong Choice of Her Retilng Position. ! Ill It is hard sometimes for the old and the young to arrive nt a common point of understanding. The oid lady an J the Sunday school boy In this story did finally arrive at an understanding, but not until the boy had suffered damage to his feelings, if not to his IHtssessions. A picnic was in progress, r.nd the benevolent and elderly ludy took much enjoyment In witnessing the delight of the children who were disporting them selves in her grounds. She went from one to another, say ing a few kind words to ench. I'res otly she seated herself on a grass lt beside Dickie, a little boy with golden curls and an angelic expression. lut as soon as he observed her sitting beside him Dickie set up an ear-piere-uig howl. -Have you the stomach-ache?" she asked, anxiously. "No, I ain't." snapped Dickie. "Perhaps you would like some more -ake." EXTENSIVE ADVERTISING FOR OREGON PRUNES The prune situation, from a mar keting standpoint, might easily be come very serious, according to M. J. Newhouse, assistant general man ager tt the Oregon Growers' Coop erative association, in a review of the present outlook. The association which has sold 90 percent of the 1922 croy, plans to advertise quite extensively in order to place Oregon prunes before the consumers, and to stimulate sales in the future. At least one-sixth of a cent per pound will be expended this year by the Oregon Growers' Coop erative association and the Clarke County Packing corporation, accord ing to present plans. This will be the largest advertising campaign ever staged in the interest of the Oregon prune, it is stated. "What the prune growers need," says Mr. Newhouse, "is wider organization. Every grower should be in some kind of an organization which would make possible a greater advertising cam paign, more markets and wider dis tribution." The harvest season, it Is believed, will be longer than usual this year, which will decrease congestion in the driers with an expected reduction in loss of fruit. The drop which was reported as abnormal in many sec tions has been relieved by the rain. Fruit in all sections will size up con siderably, but it is believed small sizes will predominate. Action favoring an early closing of the 1922 prune pools and the cre ation of separate pools for the French and Oregon varieties was taken by the directors of the .Willamette valley district of the Oregon Grow, era' Cooperative association at a re cent meeting held at Salem, accord ing to board members. It was stated flint- thn i win 1 9 shmild he closed III riMilnn trt rrntmf mitmlwira who Will benefit by high prices obtained by tho association, and who would other wine sustain a loss due to a probable price decline. New members who sign up after the pools are closed will have to ae cept the prices obtained for their fruit through a second pool created for their benefit it was announced, should a large additional tonnage be signed up. The suggested date for closing the pools i September 15th. However, final action will be taken by the board, but It Is understood that the Willamette valley director, will Insist upon an early closing.
