There la quite a hullabaloo In boost--1ng

weaken and cast off the spell pro

SAN FRANCISCO, April 10. There
can be such a thing as too much or
ganization. The prune growers of the
Santa Clara valley and the raisin
growers of Fresno admit It.
A few years ago the prune growers
and raisin growers effected two won
derful organizations. So did the wal
nut growers. So of course had the
citrus fruit growers.
' But for some reason the raisin and
prune organizations went crazy. They
decided that with a practical monop
oly of raisins and certain grades of
prunes they could make the sky the
limit. Instead of selling raisins for
three or four cents a pound, for ex
ample, they put the price uj to nine
and ten cents and even higher. And
they got their money. Crape growers
literally made fortunes. One man it
is claimed made $100,000 cold cash,
clear net profit -In one year on 100
acres of raisin grapes. That may 'or'
may not be true. On a hurried trip
like this it is impossible to verify
statements. Hut there is no doubt
that the profits in the Fresno district
In 1920, 1921 and 1922 (for a taw
months in 1922) wero fabulous. The j
prune growers wero only a few steps j
behind. But the walnut growers fig-1
ured the thing out differently. They :
decided they could lower their prices
increase their sales and still make a j
good reasonable profit. And they did.
What is the result now? Well, the ,
prunes wero held up by high prices
and were finally dumped at around
two cents per pound. The raisin
grapes were taken from the market
and stored because tho public sudden
ly refused to buy raisins, ere n
few years ago tho raisin bread de
mand was so strong that hundreds of
thousands of pounds of raisin's were
purchased by bakers alone, this de
mand was cut In half when raisins hit
the sky-light. A -two million dollar
advertising campaign was launched,
raisin bread "ads" were broadcasted
all over the land, but the public
simply refused, or the bakers re
fused, to busy raisins at ten cents
per pound.
As a result this last year witnessed
a frightful collapse in the Fresno dis
trict and in Santa Clara Valley. The
San Francisco banks became alarmed
and threatened to call In the raisin
and prune paper which had been scat
tered about from Hades to breakfast.
There was a near panic. Fortunately
the wonderful California spirit of
mutual helpfulness and cooperation
prevailed and Instead of breaking the
prime and raisin organizations, ex
perts from San Francisco were called
In to manage them. Prices of course
wero cut to the bone. Retrenchment
was ordered all along the line. Disas
ter was avoided, but If anyone thinks
that there Is some magic way to !
i wealth and success in California, they
have only to visit Fresno and Los
tiatos today to find their mistake.
So there can be such a thing as too
much organization. Or to express it
more accurately, organization must
be combined with reason and good
business sense, to succeed. The wal
nut growers, the lemon and orange
growers have wonderful organizations
but they have long since abandoned
the get-rich-quick line of attack. They
believe in asking a good stiff profit,
but they don't ask for the entire solar
system. They only advance the price
when thew know the market will
stand an advance, and then they ad
vance it gradually.
The raisin and prune growers of
California today are dead Bober. Even
home brew. It Ib claimed was scared
out by the raisin corner. But they
are much wiser than they were. They
almost killed the goose that laid tho
golden egg. They are now thankful
It was not worse. There Is, as far as
can be learned in a hasty inspection
no disposition to abandon organiza
tion. But there Is a universal disposi
tion to abandon the old worn out view
that with organization all you have to
do is sit down by the fire and raise
price and tell the public to pay or go
to that place where there Is no winter,
'i'he public has a way of refusing both
adternatives and simply going about
Its business, without a thought of
prunes or ruisins.
FOSTER'S REFENSE
NEW YORK. April 12. The Rev
Dr. Percy Stlckney Grant, rector of
the church of the Ascension, defended
, William Z. Foster, internationally not
ed radical In an address yesterday be-
, fore the advertising elub. He said
' that Foster's statement that laboring
I men should orgunlze one big union
was correct.
I "TBat is exactly what is going to
happen, even if it is called the bad
name of syndicalism," said the church'
man.
'If capital thinks today it is going
to jjestroy labor unions and force tho
worxingman to agree to individual
settlements with capital of course It Is
mistaken."
If you want to know how the Ku
Klux Klan is making out in San Fran
cisco ask a Market street policeman,
if you dare. Your "fearless correspon
dent" asked the traffic cop at the cor
ner of Post and Grant today, during a
lull in the traffic. The cop stared a
minute in dumb amazement, raised
his fist as if to smush the Inquisitor,
gave another look and then apparently
deciding he was only dealing with an
aged and harmless lunatic let out a
laugh and torrent of words that hadn't
been this side of Ireland for more than
two months. Talk about a brogue.
One could have cut It with a knife.
That was two'hours ago. Unfortunate
ly of the moment your correspondent
did not take notes. But It was some
thing like this:
"What the Hill, tho Ku Klaers! the
what, the Hill Say, you must bee
from Los Angeles or Oakland, ain't
ye, Btraanger. In San Francisco there
ain't no sich damn thing, mark ye that,
and they won't be neither, me foine
man, mark me.
The Ku Klaers Indade!!
He didn't say "indade" as a matter
of fact. But somothing less like a
stage Irishman and more emphatic.
That's what S. F. thinks of the
K. K. K.'s, and also what it thinks of
Los Angeles and Oakland.

THE TALL HAT.
ft
It's gingham for the Oalslievlkls
this week. .
FAMISHED TOURISTS RESCUED
(Hdllne Pendleton Tribune). Demon
Gasoline must got
I'D LIKE to wear a stovepipe hat, as through the town I skid;
I think I'd lv.ok sublime in that, in such a noble lid; it was
the kind my father wore in grand and saintly days of yore, when
people didn't hoot and roar at what n neighbor did. I have n
stovepipe hat at home, a hat that has the class, nnd ort I place it
on my dome, and pose before the glass; and then I have a princely
mien; n smoother toff is seldom seen; dare I but paeo the village
green, I ought to out much grass. One day I shook my caitiff
fears, and said, "I'll wear this tile, though all the air be filled
with jeers, nnd all the loafers smile"; and so I placed it on my
crown and started bravely through the town, nnd tried to face
tho rabble down, nnd snueleh the jester's guile. "Oh, cullies,
pipe tho stovepipe hat," a grinning hoodlum said; nnd someone
hit it with a eat, nnd knocked it from my head; when to my brow
it was restored some joker sua.sht'd it with a board, and all the
yawping riff-raff roared, till I was seeing rod. And thus, before
I'd gone a block, my hat was crushed and torn, and even peelers
paused to mock the headgear I had worn j nnd stately dowagers
were quick to hit the blamed thing with a brick, and merchant
princes ran to kick the lid for which I mourn. I have a nablo
stovepipe hat that cost me many a bone, but only wear it in my
flat when I am there alone; I dare not show it in the street, for
all the delegates I'd meet would try to dent it with .their feet, or
bust it with a stone.

We believe a Studebaker Sedan

ful, satisfactory life. We are not
positive as to the real life because
none has yet worn out. ,
If, when you trade in your car,
you leant that you can get only
three or four hundred dollars for
it because there i3 no second-hand
market for that make of car, then
you must add this extra depre-'

'of the car.
The trade-in price of Stude

smallest of all makes of motor
