VIRT7E,is not its own' reward, for observe Ihe lowly prune.
After eent'iiries of social obscurity, uncomplainingly endured,
(he prune is at lust coming into its own. Honored . by 'a governor's
proclamation, aided by the leading financiers of the state, the sub
ject of sermons, and the beneficiary of a thousand dollar advertising
campaign, 1his modest and retiring poor relation of the dietetic fam
ily, is now occupying the center of the stage leading the ranksif
stardom, cn.wnt'd with thej fulsome encomiums of a grateful consti
tuency.. . ,
. : It pays lo be good, that is the lesson, of ihe .Oregon prune. The
faithful friend of the unKtvcly bearding house, kind to theybung and
helpful to the 'dyspeptic ; thrifty, unpri tensions; asking little, giving
much ; springing to sudden and unsought affluence during the war now
in its adversity a great state rises in its majesty, and proclaiips, "Thou
hast been a good and faithful servant, now slialt thou enjoy the fruit'
of your virtuous anil simple life." ' '
Twenty-one 'million pound.s'of Oregon prunes, thrown out into the
cohl, cruel world, arc to be provided with warmth and shelter, dress-
d and sugared and pampered, the doors of every home in Oregon
(.peri to them, and if then; are prunes slill unprovided for, transpor
tation lo CWuh and oilier lauds of sunshine is provided.
AVho says virtue is its own reward ! that penurious survival ol
n puritanical iilul pauperized morality. Virtue carries in its train,
for every faithful subject aewanls of a warm and gladsome, nature.

standing leaders among tha oenntries

Mexico. Passes Russia
"In I ! 1 3 this production was doubled
and by 1917 It had mora than doubled
again. In IMS Moxlenn oil wells yield
ed nearly 61,000,000 barrets, anil In
1919. more than 87,0ito,uo0 barrels.
This latter production was in excess
not only of the current annual produc
tion of Russia, previously second
among oil producing countries, but
also exceeded Russia's high watermark
of 85,000,000 barrels in IStOl. Now only
the United States, with a production of
nearly 400.000,000 barrels, is ahead of
Mexico.
Biit Mexico is accepted as having
the greatest demonstrated oil field In
the world, and It Is estimated that If
all Its producing wells had been per
mitted to flow ut tholr maximum in
1919 tho .resulting production, would
have been 32,0110,000 barrels more-than
tho actual production of the entlro
