PRICES IN EAST
Incidental to the pear picking and
packing season which this week op
ened In a small way, and which is ex
pected to be on in full force next
Monday, the big drop In price of 90
cents a box for fiartletts In New York
yestorday Illustrates the uncertainty
of the pear market.
However, the majority of the pear
crop of the valley has"neen Sold here
for spot cash at good prices but less
thun the high prices that have been
prevailing in the auction market.
Thus It can be seen that the majority
of orchardists preferred to sell at less
and sure price now for cash, rather
than worry over the condition of the
market and run the transportation
risks to obtain a higher price.
A review of the market situation
is interesting. The market opened
In Chicago and New York on July
llith with only small receipts of Cali
fornia Uartletts. The receipts In
creased gradually as more fruit roll-
, ed east, but the market ruled strong
, until yesterday as high as J5.20 a
box delivered In New York nnd the
lowest price until yesterday was
14.65. But yesterday 22 cars went
IntoVew York, as against the previ
ous high total of 13 cars, and on
these 22 cars the market broke from
11.96, Monday's price, to $1.00 a
drop of ninety cents. ,
In discussing the pear situation to
day Manager Beckwith of the Rogue
River Valley Fruit association said
according to his advices Rartletts
from California, Yakima, ' Colorado
and the Rogue River valley will be in
the auction markets nil thru August.
The only receipts so far have been
California Bartletts. Yakima's estim
ated crop is 1S00 cars, which began
rolling eastward last week; the Cali
fornia crop Is estimated at from 3500
to 4000 cars, nnd there may be 300
cars front the Rogue River valley.
The first car from the valloy which
left here on July 27lh, will probubly
arrive in New York about August 11
or 12, a much earlier date than usual
with valley pears. Another car left
last night, and tonight five or six
cars are scheduled to be started on
their way. , The Rogue River Fruit
&' Produce association alone will ship
from two to three curs a day for tho
rest of this week. The association
has sold evory box it will pack for
spot cash here at good prices, as has
tho Earl Fruit company of the north
west unci a number of others, -
Among the concerns now picking
and packing are the Bardwoll com
pany, the Rogue River Fruit Distrib
utors, Guy Conner, the Bear Creek
orchard, E. W. Carlton, Scuddor and
Keuly, the Hampton orchard and C.
M. Speck. The 401 orchard and
Frank Wormian will start packing
the latter part of this week. Next
-Monday all the other orchards will
commence picking and packing.

(The administration is very anxious
ta avoid putting the county on a ra

that everyone will voluntarily co
operate with the administration to
avoid doing this by not using more
than their two pounds per person per

DECLARES EXPERT
That 25 per cent of the people of
Jackson cvounty are going without
milk because of the present high
prices, at a serious sacrifice to tholr
health and the health of their chil
dren, was the statement made last
night by Miss Anne McCarmlck at the
Pago theater.
Miss JleCormlck said she urged
the consumption of milk because it
was one of two perfect foods with all
the necessary elements of a well-bal
anced diet. The other perfect food
Is eggs. Altho bilk is higher than
it has been, when Its food value Is
considered Itt is still one of the cheap
est of foods and should be a part of
overy person's diet nut particularly
the diet of children.
During the war, especially when
tho country Is losing Its man-pover,
It la a matter of patriotism and com
mon sense to provide for the next
generation. Statistics show that one
in 14 men In the trenches is killed
while one In seven1 of all children
under one year of age succumbs to
disease. This condition must be
changed and it can only be changed
by proper diet.
The ideal diet Is made up of milk.
eggs, and some green vegetable, mal
nutrition not being necessarily an In
sufficient amount of food, but an in
sufficient amount of the rlgth kinds
of fods. Most of the buttermilk from
the local dairies goes to waste, while
WOMEN WHO FASCINATE
The art of fascination and attrac
tiveness In women Is founded on
good health. Women who drag thru
long hours, days, weeks and some
times months of suffering with head
aches, hackache and dragging-down
pajns soon wear the tell-tale expres
sion of woe and misery. If every
such woman would only turn to that
good old-fashioned root and . herb
remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Voeot-
able Compound, to alleviate such ali
ments it would surely prove the
greatest aid to health and conse
quent beauty that- she has ever
known. Adv.
