i 11 HOUSEWIVES WAIT AJ IN HOME CANNING ii ..t ift .: .i Although Ojjfernja hfta another Immense , cpp. , 9f .apricpta I ju4 peaches this season and there will ' be a big apricot crop in other parts of Oregon, the Rogue River valley will have a normal crop of peaches i ., j, but only.a 50 per cent crop of i 1. apricots.. . , K '' Under these circumstances prices -..--foe., local apricots will , be. . kept jpwn because of the flooding of which have been selling here quite ; cheap for a week or so past. It ' is said that the peaches and opi'l- cotaicropafli'e ao-hava' in Califor ni ithat- ntny; ferowers will .not . plokithemi'', " ' ' , However, no matter now nuijh of , this small fruit is dumped' in ' Heiitont during the seaon, much of it shipped not -fully ripe, most Medtord -and . other valley house wives will prefer, evep at a higher prise, to buy the home grown apri cots and peaches leeu.uoe of their better quality. - . The picking of the surly apricots has begun, and general picking wil) start peott . week. Also a few of the earlier varieties .of peaqhes are being picked now. The reason for the 50 per cent crop of vailey apricots is that frost badly damaged .it. Frost also got to the local 4eac)t crop somewhat, but.he arqp' was so heavy that it . could have bt'n damaged 75 per 1 cent and still have an abundance 1 of peaches left, it is said. UPON INSPE1 RULES FOR FRUIT The Rogue l4viiTratfl4W elation atjlta noon) ptetifegyodnjy, instructed -ke Inspection committee to ascertain from the state de partment of agriculture, Max aehl har ' director, the status of the shipping point inspection service, for the coming fruit season, and whether or not the Inspection fee reduction from S to J4 per car, authorized by the state board of horticulture would be effective. The state department of agricul ture starts to function July 1 and the state board of horticul ture automatically dies. It is be lieved that the new order will continue the acts of its predeces sors. . Haste will have to be exercised if any change is considered in the inspection service, as It must be in workln" order hv .luly 15. The traffic association also in structed its traffic committee to report at the next meeting what action would be taken relative to filing a protest against the proposed 15 per cent ' increase in fruit rates, sought by the South ern Pacific. The Northwest Traf fic association lms filed protests with the Interstate Commerce commission against the raise and the declaring of an emergency, allowing enrly Increases in the rates.

Luxuries of Medf ord Women In 1 900 (By Eva Nealon) V. , Summer is here and a galaxy of dainty colors, laces, ruffles, rib bons and furbelows, reminiscent of the Flora Dora days, do deck the tores of Medford. Hut the onrush: of the season fails to inspire tho purchase of muslin by the bolt or creation or a pyramid petticoat' to conceal the feminine limb and old styles have not returned, accord-1 ing to merchants of Medford, who trotted back to '1900 in' memory yesterday. - ; - The girl of 1900 was no doubt quits the same as 'the ghi -of '1931; even as "The Colonel's Lady and Mrs. O'Grady nra sisters, under the skin." Butthe girl of 1900 was sep arated from the modern femme by more than a skin's difference, lo cal merchants Insist, and the gap grew greater with the approach of winter. Hers was a world of whalebone, cotton stockings and gusseted vests of which the faminlne ranks of to day know nothing. In spile ot the depression and the claims of stylo authorities who denounce the ' re vival of the old" as the dernier cri from Paris. Corsets of black' ahd white "wftlt the strength of "iron bands" en cased the feminine form.- The two colors were as necessary -to mor ality as the lack of pliancy. "Only the most daring wore corsets of pink," a clerk said yesterday, "and they were seldom to be found in local shops." - - -' Silk stockings were unheard of and 25 cents was a high price to pay for cottons. The popular num ber was sold fop 10 cents. It was Impossible to keep a store without a supply of hair switches, and shoes ranging in price from 75 cents to 11.
