Some remarkably well-written ea aaya were aubmltted which made the task of selecting tne winner difficult one for the Judges. One de urulna nf anerl.l mention WBS en Vrd by Nina Wall Colvlg of 825 Smith Central avenue. The winning essay, written by Mrs. Power, follows: The Rogue River valley, which I hnme nf mm Of tllA WOrld finest peara, Is becoming reoognlied in Irleal clime for tomato-grow- Ing. An authority on food values elalma that there la only one locality In our country in which It la poa 41 in nrnduce tomatoea of the asms high quality aa are grown tore. When the Europeans eiplored the flbito American Continent, t h 6 V found growing there many atrange native plants, among wnicn was m Itotomate, as the Aitecs called It. It was a rank-smelling plant with bright-red wrinkled iruu. umoim" tiu mtIv Kiimnonn adventurers did not consider the tomato edible, they transplanted It to Europe because it wlta novel, and tney renamea it tamate. or the love apple. Through Mtif anuthern Rurnns durlnff the nth century the value of the tomato for Hale In aoups .ind aaiaas waa ac on recognised, but in norinern nuropo, m nimf. Drnwn In botanical gsfdene and In private flower beds la. a curiosity and for the beauty of the fruit which was seiaom eaten becauae It waa regarded as polaonoua. likewise, our forefathera In this country were alow to outgrow the ' euperatltton that the tomato la un healthful. The fact that commercl"! csnnerlea have now an annual out put of 200,000.000 cans of thla fruit : indicates that the tomato Is most certainly considered an Important Item of food. - Although the tomato la classified fcs a fruit, It contalna both vege table aolde and mineral aalts; there fore It la not' uncommonly called s vegetable. There la no canned vegetable so generally liked and used In such a variety of ways as the tomato. In mny homes tomato Juice Is the flrat courae for breakfast, and for Jtmch and dinner the whole fruit la prepared In very many appetizing ways. During the last few years food au thorities have been telling ua to tn- elude more green vegetables In our diet. The reason for this Is that egetablea are rich In vitamins which are absolutely eaaentlal tor health nd growth. However, vitamins are not alwaya preaent In full atrength, for premature herveatlng, etorage or transportation to distant market re duces the vitamin value. The vlta miil content of frulta haa been proved to be highest when the point of perfect ripeness l reached. To matoes, for essmple, develop their maximum vitamin value only when they are ripened fully on the vines. Of the six vitamins recognlred by science. A, B and O are present In the tomato. There are tricks In every trade. V the housewives only knew what they buy when they purchase toma toos grown In Mexico and even In California 1 True, they are more edible than the Imitation tomatoea one sees displayed with other foods In an electric refrigerator In a show window, but In vitamin value there la not a great deal of difference. In the flrat place these tomatoes are picked while green. Dyeing fruit to make It appear mature la Illegal, but ripening It chemically is com monly practiced. A.gaa called ethy lene I used to do the trick. When ever man atepa in to do Mother Na ture's work In ripening fruits, he la 'only partially eucceaahil; he can not by unnatural means outdo the Master Hsnd at Its own work. 80 aa hsa been aald before, the whole aomeat tomatoea that we can buy are those which are vlne-rlpend. We don't have to buy the toma toea of Inferior quality which are shipped In. Some of the best toma toea obtainable anywhere are grown here In thla valley by Mr. Ed Pleroe. When you ask your grocer for Pierce's "vine - ripened" hothouse tomatoea you help yourself to health and a dellcloua fruit, and you also help along a local enterprise. Blnce tomatoea are highly recom mended by pliyelriane for their valu able food properttea, one haa a right to -expect that they ahould be as nutritious aa they are said to be. The special feature of Pierces hoi hmiu tnmitwia la that thev are pro tested against lose of vltamlna. In the flrat place they are not picked until they are almoat ripe, for each additional day of ripening meant added vitamin content. Immediately after I hey have been taken from the vines, they are prepared tor market. Prom the time that they are picked until the time they are sold, they are handled In the moat sanitary way poaalble. Then when they are dleplayed on the vegetable counter, they are labelled ao thai you can be certain that you are getting genuine Plerce'a tomatoea. We housewives cannot Judge the vitamin content of fruit aa the aclentlata can, but we can Judge the flavor. When frulta are harvested prematurely, they are excessively told.. P.lpenlng them by the chemi cal process removes some of the acidity and also aiveetena them lightly, but even then they tatte Cat compared with fruit ripened on AuoeUu PriMPbote Walter H. Njwton, eecretsry to President Hoover, forgot politics long enough to make a Chicago boy happy by signing his autograph the vines. In addition to letting his tomatoea ripen .naturally, thereby obtaining the best flavor possible. Mr. Pierce raises an unusually line flsvored vsrlety. Every spring when housewives are getting enthusiastic about planting their gardens. Mr. Pierce is able to supply delicious tomatoes from hla hothouaea. My, how good they taste after one has been eating canned to matoes all winter. Until recently It waa difficult for the farmera around Medford to have their produce accepted In the local markets. The reason was that our markets were flooded with cheap produce ahlpped in from California. Now that the depression has struck such a blow. X believe thst it la the duty of everyone to spend hla money at home. The sooner every one realizes this, the sooner well be able to buy a railroad ticket for Old Man Depression so we can send him out of this country. One way, then, to do your shsre In allavlet' lng business conditions Is to buy home products. By ao doing, you not only help the farmers, out aiao encourage home development. Mr. Pierce, and other local men, can pro. vide you with very good produce, Inatat on home-grown products. Thrifty and wise housewives have learned through experience that they profit by buying only the best on the market. That Is why they pre fer Pierce's "vlne-rlpened" hothouse tomatoes. MRS. E.

I one Portion oomM .in .1 TJ tnaatn Parsons two THESE ARE THE PEOPLE GETTING WEARY The people of Jackson county are getting mighty weary of the constant howl of "law enforcement break down." and "miscarriage of Justice." Llewellyn A. Bank, editor and pub lisher of the Dally News constantly hurls hi lightning bolts against the District Attorney and others with out getting anywhere. We hold no brief for George Cod ding except that we have yet seen no serious case of flagrant abuse of office by Mr. Codding. We certainly have no reason to be anxious to up hold Mr. Banks, either. But we do feel that after all la said, what good does all his howling do? Mr, Ruhl of the Mall Tribune sug gests having the whole matter Itv vestlgated by a special grand Jury and a special prosecutor. What good will that do? We have had a coroner's Jury, a regular grand jury, a special grand Jury and a special prosecutor in the Dahack! case. Has anything been really settled? Not yet. We feel the best thing to do Is just Ignore the whole thing and above all SHUT UP I Who care a darn, anyway. What we want and serf In thla county is for all to pull to geth or to get this country out of the dumps. If you meet a clvlt cat on the road, if you are wise you will Just quietly walk around him and not start throwing stones. The more of thlt. stuff that la printed the worse off we all are. So let's let it all slide and get busy minding our own business. If Banks could not bring evidence of anything but hearsay before the regular grand jury, how In h can he produce anytning oetter before a special grand Jury? A man whose mind la ao twisted that he sees personal enmity against himself In such editorial ut terances as Mr. Buhl's able nd very fair eulogy on Judge Norton a. few days ago, can never be convinced he CAN be wrong about anything. So let's call it a day. Arthur Pow ell, Editor Central Point American. Only Brother Of K Mr. Getchell Is Taken By Death Mrs. Delroy Getchell has received word of the , death of her only brother, Thomas Shephard McClure at San Antonio, 'xexas.

Refusing to discuss buslneas con. dltlons, the Western Union president remarked that he had "an aonor. rence for peop'e willing and eager to apeak on a aubject, about which they had no understanding." Mr. Carlton said that he could not name the essentials of the busi ness world necessary for the return of prosperity, and that the company i biding the time until ne in terests of increased business find the Western Union useful. We do not manufacture any thing." Mr. Carlton said, "but we sell service, and only the revival of business will bring about the de mand for such service." Officials of the Western Union make an annual tour of approxi mately 40.000 miles. Prom Seattle they will continue to Winnipeg. Manitoba, Canada, and back to New York, from which city they atarted their trip June 8. There aren't many caiuornia cltlea that have any standing In Oregon." Mr. Carlton aald, "so I'll not mention those In which we stopped." BIRTHS Born to Mr. and Mrs. Jack Miller at Central Point a son, Friday.
