EIGHT THE DAILY CAPITAL J0riRV4T,. S ' T P.M. OTWOON. SATURDAY, SEPT. 9, 1916. H n . - 1 wauon O0 restiidiigiiitatoFS The sole object of the "A. B. C." Audit Bureau of Circulations is to protect honest advertisers and honest publish ers, by doing away with circulation errors and the mis-statements of circulation prestidigitators. Those publishers of newspapers, magazines, farm journals and trade publications all over America who form the great bulk of the membership of the "A. B. C.", believe that the man who buys advertising space is entitled to an honest and unbiased circulation count a count as dependable as a certified check. These publishers, together with advertisers and advertising agencies, are spending their money to support the A.B. C. , to pay for the services of trained auditors, and they ask the support and patronage of every man who bays uivertising space and wants to buy it WISELY. When you place your advertising with a publisher who is a member of the "A. B. C' you are protect ing your own interests and helping to place the entire business of advertising on a cleaner, sounder, and more efficient basis.

Some of our "folks came perilously uear veiling a whopping big order of green prunes not long back, but the rumor of a railroad strike got started first and the order was cancelled. It went far enough though to prove the possibilities of this section as a green prime market, and there are worse things to feed on than possibilities.

Ac cording to the stipulation the defendant is to pny to the attorneys for the plain tiff withiu 15 days the sum of $2,200, (Medford Mail-Tribune.) President Wilson added another ach ievement to his long list of constructive measures when he signed the shipping bill, designed to relieve the shortage in ships and an aid to American commerce. The measure was only passed after two years' bitter .struggle. Had it been al lowed to become a law a year ago, the country would not today be paying such enormous tribute to the shipping trust and the expansion of the nation's commerce would hnve been greatly stimulated. The shipping bill precipitated a demo cratic revolt in the last congress, and a postponement of many important bills through the filibuster conducted against it. The democratic reactionaries join ed the republicans in opposition. Re vised to minimize the government op eration feature, tho measure finally received unanimous democratic support aud solid republican opposition. Amendments agreed to upon the last day the bill was before the senate in clude one which would authorize the president to seek adjustment of foreign discrimination against American ship ping through diplomatic negotiations and to take retaliatory action if such negotiations fail. Another authorizes the treasury department to withhold clearnace from masters of vessels who deliberately refuse to accept freight from American citizens without sitis- factory reasons. As passed, the measure creates a shipping board of fivc commissioners. The board is authorized, either directly or indirectly, through a corporation or corporations to. pe organized, to build, purchase, lease or charter vessels suit able for use in ocean commerce. Limit ations upon these powers would prohi bit acquisition of any vessel at the time engaged in foreign or domestic com merce of the United States unless it is to be withdrawn from such commerce by the owner without intention to re turn thereto, within a reasonable time; the purchase of any vessel which is un der registry or flag of a foreign country engaged in war; or acquisition of any' vessel which would not be availnue lor ocean commerce without unreasonable alterations. The bill further authorizes the ship ping board to organize one or more corporations with a total cupital stock not . exceeding $50,000,000, the govern ment, through the board, to subscribe for.a majority of the stock. A sum of $50,000,000 is authorized for this pur pose, the money to be provided from the sale of Panama canal bonds. -..A. radical .change in .

Both models are admirable for early fall. past ten days and although some of .tho laTge grower-dealers are picking every thing, it seems most of the indiv'dual small growers are not going to pick only a small portion of the yard that is the lightest and where there is no mold. With H and 7 cents offered on contract and the ljugaboo "frec-of-mold" hong-, ing over that even, you cannot blame the individual grower for letting them stay "on the vine." The growers seem to be ju3t as game as the dealers and don't care to give that individual their hops to ganibln with as long as they are not assured of more than their actual picking aud bal ing money out of them.
