"Kindly wnlch Tor Such letters, and put them In this basket" and ho lifted, to' tho top of his desk tho largest wnstepapor basket which Louis Trapp had. ever seen. Walllngfonl unlocked tho upper drawer on tho right hand sldo of his desk and dropied in It tho ten dollar bill. He opened the opposlto drawer and drew forth a blank cant No. I In the right hand row, which he number- ed nnd stamped with the date, .after which he wroto on It Jock liondley's namo and address and the amount of his contribution.

In tho presence of Trapp the letters wcro opened. Louis Trapp sat numbly gazing at the money for n few minutes, nnd then, as a preliminary to Intelligent cd-opora. tlon. he read the circular letter. It was as follows: Dear Sir Wo take pleasure In dli- chanting from our hooka your Investment of (hero had been left a blank In which the amount 'JIO," was stamped) mndo with us on (hero another blank In which a Onto wan stamped).

I Mr. Trapp Jumped down from his , stool and deposited his own bundle of money on the desk between Walling-j ford and Blackle. j j "This Is a skin gamer he exclaimed. , i "I'll have nothing to do with It!" Wal- llngford's big pink face was a picture ' of cheerful Joviality, nnd Dlacklo Daw laughed In keen enjoyment i "How hasty r chlded Dlnckle. "Why, you done Know nuytning about it I Trapp." , "I know thl3 much," and Mr. Trapp's I stubby hands strayed from his trousers . i pockets to bis coat pockets, to his vest I pockets and to the nnnholes of bis , ' vest where they hung by the thumbs. ' "You haven't invested a cent You let ' the money lay In that drawer all weeki I You're using one-half of the money to j ' pay off one-fourth of the suckers!" j "Don't blame them." grinned Blackle. They're not harming anybody. They'll j send the money right back to pay off the next fourth, and so It goes merrily ' on." ' "But jou are nslng my name!" ex- ' citcdly objected Mr. Trapp. his hands , now finding no home. "I'm the only one that's known In this company.

OREGON PRUNES Oregon Agricultural College, Corvullls, November 30th. Grango Dullotln, Eugone, Oregon. A groat deal of investigational work on prunes In Oregon has recently boon conductod by tho Agricultural Collogo Horticultural department, and tho present status of tho pruno situation in this stnto has boon doducod thoro from by Professor C. I. Lewis, head of tho department Among tho different facts brought to light in this survey of tho pruno Industry aro tho follow ing that will bo of interest to pruno growers nnd dealers In this stnto and others: Tho Italian (Kollcnborg) comprises about soven-olghth of tho pruno plant ings of .Oregon, and tho percentage In Its favor Is constantly Increasing. Tor evaporation purposes it Is said by Profssor Lowls to bo tho only pruno worthy of consideration In tho Northwest. OUior varieties, especially tho Tragedy and tho Hungarian, havo numerous plantings In this territory for shipping purposes. Still others that aro grown to n limited extent aro tho French, locally called tho I'otlto, tho Pacific, tho Wlllamotto, tho Mam mouth, tho Columbia, tho Tcnnant, tho Silver and tho Sugar. Scuttcrod ovor tho Northwest thoro Is found a miscellaneous lint of soft plums grown largely for local ubcb. Slnco tho Italian pruno is benefitted by having other varieties grown In connection with It thoro will prob ably always bo a scattering of othor varieties, plantod in tho Oregon pruno orchards. Many growers roport that whorovor the Italian prunes no near othor varieties thoy hoar a moro sat isfactory crop of fruit. In tho pruno evaporating fruit districts tho I'otlto will bo tho pollnator. Tho greatest drawback to this pruno Is its small size. It dries heavlor than tho Italian, ho'wovor, and on account ot its ulzo sells somowlmt higher. It is sustomary to pick prunes that are to bo shipped in their groen state for eating fresh In Eastern markets, while thoy aro still vory hard and green, This fruit will havo dovclopod to a yery roat qxtcnt Its truo Color beforo packing. Fruits for this pur posa are graded carefully und packod in five-pound baskets, four baskets to tho crate. , Although this crato holds approximately 20 pounds tho varying weight of the prunes varies this num ber from 18 to 30 pounds aocordlng to varieties, sizo and gonoral condition, Theso four-basket carrlors nro tho typical ones usod for plums, apricots and grapes at) sold in Easlorp mar ket's, Fresh prunes when prdperly refrig erated havo been shipped not only all OTpr the.
