TO INSPECTION OF
FRUIT PACKING
On Tuesday iifteriinon, July 51, nt

Fruit & J'roduce associatiou will bo
open for visitors. All who lire in
tcreslcd in the associalioii's niclhoils
of operation are cordially invited to
attend. Looro fruit in picking hoxc
will bo conveyed by machinery from
the, truck level outside, the building
npsliurs mid thru the entire length
of tlio packing room.
How It Is Handled.
I'ackcd fruit will ho similarly con
veyed from the different nailing
presses thru the packing room on
tlio second floor, downataiiH thru a
spiral chute and thru tho entire
length of the cold-storago floor und
to one of the cold storage rooms.
This will givo tho growers an oppor
tunity to see exactly how the asso
ciation will handle the fruit from the
lime it is taken off tho auto truck,
loose, until it. is placed in tho cold
,room, packed. It will also enable
growers to inspect tlio cold storage
rooms and all of the equipment for
packing and handling.
All improvements and repairs have
been completed and the entire, plant
is, .now ready for operation and will
furnish constant, and efficient cold
storage for at least forty em's of
fruit. In addition to its own cold
Btoragu facilities, the association has
under contract its proportionate
share, of commercial cold storage in
outside houses in this valley.
ISmtlHt riiccs Good.
The association receives daily
wires giving the Jlartlett auction
market prices in New York, Chicago,
Host nu and Philadelphia. Theso are
posted generally by 2 o'clock each
day in tho association's office, where
any interested parties can see them.
Vp to date the llnrlletl. market has
ruled high. Friday's tonnage in New
York consisted of fourteen cars, or
7(111(1 boxes, and the average, price
was $;i.:r.
The bulk of the Saeraiuciilo river
crop has yet to be received and ilis.
posed of, but it is worthy of note
that a comparison of this year's
iiiiukels with corresponding markets
of last year shows this year's prices
from '.!." to 7," cents ailcad of lust
year's. The Itogmi Ifiver lliirllrtt
picking will probably not commence
before tlio l.'ilh or 'JOIh of August,
and it is ipiitc possible Hint the Cali

disposed of before that dale.'

Taking all these factors into consid

that our I'.artlclls should bn con

Another interesting feature of tlii
year's markets is that all advices so

"X July 28, 191 f, Austria declared war upon Serbia,
tints, precipitating the conflagration which litis grail
iiitlly extended until every first-class power in the world
is involved.
A trifle furnished the pretext for the, war. For fiftv
years (leriuaiiy had been preparing to strike for world
dominion, and the blow was delivered wlien tiie tunc
seemed propitious. ' .
On June 28, Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the
Austrian throne, was assassinated by an alleged Pan
Kerbian fanatic. July 23 Austria sent au ultimatum to
Serbia, followed five days later by declaration of war
July 31, Germany sent an ultimatum to Russia over the
mobilization ot troops, and August 1 Gcrmanv declared
war on Uussia, and the already assembled German troops
invaded Luxemburg, i he iollowing day, August 2, the in-
vasion of the neutral nation, Belgium, was begun by Ger
many, in violation or treaty, as preliminary to the uivas
ion of France.
August 4, England in an ultimatum to Germany de-
nianded that Belgian neutrality be respected, and the Gcr-.
man reply was the attack upon Liege. Ihe following day
I'jiigiand announced a state ot war with Germany.
August 7 the Germans captured Liege, and the French
invaded southern Alsace. Hithin the week, August j2.
France and England declared war upon Austria, and
three days later Austria began the invasion of Serbia, the
same day Germany received an ultimatum from Japan.
August i , tne. conieinptiuie utile iiritisli army," as
termed by the kaiser, completed its landing to assist the
Belgians, who were desperately resisting the overwhelm
ing forces of the invader.1 Two days following, the battle
or Lorraine. Wits begun, and the following day the Germans
entered Brussels. Alter numerous ene:aeincnts, on Ausr
list 24, the British were forced to begin the retreat from
Mons, and the next day the French were driven from
Lorraine. ' ' ...
The drive of the Germans toward Paris proceeded rap
idly. The French government fled to Bordeaux, and the
Russians occupied Lemberg. On September 5 the battle
of the Marnc began and a week later the Germans, now in
run retreat, halted on the Aisne, and trench warfare be
gan. Meanwhile the Russian advance in Galicia contin
ued. Jaroslav was taken and Przcmysl invested.
October 9, AntwciT) was occupied by tho Germans, and
ton days litter began the first battle of Ypres, which halted
tho German rush upon Calais. Meanwhile, tho Germans
were defeated before Warsaw. .
October 29, Turkey entered the war as an ally of Ger
many, and Lngland on .November 5. declared war upon
Turkey. The following day Tsing-tao surrendered to the
Japanese. 1 ...
J bus began the great contest, deliberately provoked by
German militarism with a view of aggrandizement a con
test between a tlioroly prepared and unscrupulous nation
and an unprepared world. The advantages of prepared
ness are apparent to all it took Great Britain two years
to prepare. America has been at it four montlis, with
small progress. ,
Ihe contact, begun over the excuse of the murder of
an autocrat by a fanatic, has spread rapidly. The-year of
191;) was a disastrous one for the entente allies Germans,
while making no progress in the west, overran Russia, in
vesing Poland and part of Luthania. Italy joined the
entente and began the invasion of the Tretino, while allied
forces wrested away German colonial possessions all over
tlio globe, but Germany overran Serbia and Montenearo.
Bulgaria having joined the central empires.
Ihe year l!ab saw ln-ench and British assume the
offensive in the west, wresting the Soinmc region from the
Germans, who lor lour months bad relentlessly and fruit
lessly attacked Verdun, 'the rehabilitated Russian armv
made a. successful drive against the Germans in Galicia
and Bukowitia. Rumania joined the entente and was
overrun hy the forces of the central empires.
1 lie present year has witnessed a renewal ot the oUcn-
sive by British and French in the west, a retreat by the
ticHtiaiis, and tho winning of a considerable portion ol
rrcnclt and Belgian territory occupied bv the Germans in
1911. .It has witnessed the Russian revolution and the col-.
apse of Russian armies. It has seen the Grecian kiiur
expelled and Greece join the entente allies. If has wit
nessed the adoption by Germany of unrestricted subma
rine warfare, which forced the United States into the con
flict, as well as Cuim and Urazil, and the severance of dip
lomatic relations with Germany by China and the ensuing
revolution. With practically the entire civilized world
arraigned against her, Germany is now clamoring for
peace and peace, even without annexation and indemni
ties, woithneavo Germany victorious.
Peace is impossible, for the war has left Germany
supreme in Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey, anil
realized tho militarist dream of "Mittel Knropa." The
enlarged empire would regard peace as merely a breathing
spell. When prepared, she would again crush Belgium
and France and extend her empire to tho Persian "gulf.
There can be no peace without restitution and indemni
ties and punishment for the aggressor who has plunged
the world in misery.
America is in the war, not. only because forced to by
Germany's warring against, her, but because the future
welfare of humanity demands an end, for all time, of
medieval autocracy and mail militarism. America does
not seek territorial aggrandizement, nor oppression of
weaker nations, nor increased wealth or the empty glory
ol i hit eoiKnieinr. .-qic is in lite war lo secure a lasfng
peace that humanity may work out its problems without
brutal exploitation and slavery.
When the world is relieved of the menace of kaiserism
and militarism. America will be willing to talk peace, and
then she will demand it along ideals enunciated by Pres
ident Wilson:
For the things whirli we always Imve carried nearest our hearts tor

PETKOGRAD,' July 28 Premier
Kercnsky, referring to the situation
in liussia, said:
"It is a spectre of anarchy which
needs to be obliterated. Stout hearts
and stern bunds, ore required to stay
the rout in the army. There is
plenty of good material in Russia,
but it has been allowed to go to
waste."
LONDON, July 28. Dispatches
from l"etrograd dealing with the mil
itary and political situation concur
that Pctrogrnd itself is outwardly
calmer than it has been for months,
which i,s attributed to Premier Kor-
ensky's strong repressive measures,
including the disarming of rioters
and mutineers. Among the arrested
extremists is snid to be Madame
Kollontac.
The ministry of justice is said to
havo issued a statement that it has
no clear proof that Nikolai Lenine
the radioul socialist, and two of his
associates, Zinovieff and Kamenol'f,
were concerned in a German plot
against liussia.. None of the corre
spondents, however, mentions the nr
rest of l.enine. The wltolo internal
situation suid t show signs of
improvement, nnd according to the
Times' Odessa. . correspondent it . is
generally recognized that the vari
ous drastic problems must now uw.ait
the end of the war for solution.
On tho other hand, this correspon
dent records the victory of the ex
tremists in the repent rc-clcction of
tho local executive of tho council of
workmen's and soldiers' delegates.
PETROGRADj July 28 The ex
ecutive committee of tlio council of
workmen s and soldiers' delegates
have adopted by an overwhelming
majority a resolution censoring Nik
olai Lenine, the radical lender, and
bis associate, Zinovieff. Tho reso
lution also demanded obedienco by
all factions of the' central govern
ment. ' '
