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.

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

Clarke, Walte and McClure, of which
Thomas McClure was the senior part

ness firm of central and northern

the social history of the state as

FOREIGN LICENSE
Captain Lee M. Bown of t,he etate
police department, this district, re
turned yesterday from Salem where
he conferred with Superintendent
Charles Pray and other etate offl
cera relative to a determined effort
to enforce the atate auto license reg
ulations on and after July 1, when
new year licenses will be required on
all vehicles.
Particular attention will be paid
to the foreign license evil. The atate
police now have a complete llat of
all autoa operated in this section,
with California or other foreign
licenses. Permits Issued to these cara
for the moat part, expire July let.
Renewale will not be granted, except
In extreme cases, and autolsta will
be required to procure Oregon li
censes or store their cars.
No conalderatlon will be shown In
cases where car ownera establish res
idence in northern California towns
for a short period, and then return
here to live, work, and vote, while
uaing a California Ucenae. This meth
od is the most populsr and common
of the evasive moves, police say.
Press dlapatchea indicate that Gov
ernor Meier will declare no morator
ium on licenses on the theory that
if a car -owner la too poor to purchase
a license, he la too poor to purchase
gasoline.
Jackson county autolsta continued

temporary permits at the sherlff'e
