PRUNES AND RAISIN" PRICES
TO GROWERS AGEED UPON
Washington, July 3. — "Maxi
mum reasonable prices" to grow
ers tor the 1918 prune and raisin
crops, recommended bj" growers in
California, have been accepted by
the Food Administration.
Prune growers are to receive not
more than 8% cents per pound,
net, and growers of raisin, grapes
will be given a maximum of 5 %
cents per pound "in the sweat box."
These prices, especially that on
prunes, are larger tian, they were
expected to be, but conference# of
growers, both association and in
dependent men held by Ralph Mer
ritt Federal food administrator for
California, during the past six weeks
have demonstrated that the general
labor situation., increased costs, and
probable prune shortage justify the
priceg recommended. These prices
will give a stimulative profit to
growers, without permitting them to
profiteer.
Excellent Recipe for Kbufbarb Pie

half cupa sugar, two heaping
teaspoons c; flour, pinch of Salt,
yelk of one egg.
Mix sugar, salt and flour—beat
separately the egg yelk, then add
the other ingredients. Mix well

The Week In Society
THE SONG OF THE HILL TRAIL9
Quiet runs the valley way
Where the river dreams,
And the winda go light alonp,
Weaving into tender song
Happy moods and themes;
Upward where from mountain heart
Breathe the stormy gales,
And the white-plumed torrents cry.
Plunging rocky barriers bjr,
Run the hilly trails.
Oh. the high trails, the hill trails.
The sunny trails of brown.
Seeing first the sun arise
And last its going down!
Ever do they call the heart
With their windings far.
Luring feet to follow on
Where peak Is friend with star!
Quiet runs life's valley way,
Gently for the feet,
But there vision fails the eyes
Looking to the narrow skies
Where mount and cloudland meet.
Only on {he mountain path
Vision never fails;
Shimmering plains are far away,
And beauty lingers night and day
On the hilly trails.
Oh, the high trails, the hill trails,
Life's lofty trails await,
Mounting through the flaming dawn
The pilgrim heart elate.
Glorious are the visions there.
Far the eye can see
Wonders of the years agone,
And of the years to be!

joyed by those who attended and
many went away with, a much better
understanding of what the Red
Cross really means. Sewing, knit
ting, sending away the finished gar
ments are a great work, but how
much greater is the work of car
ing for the wounded, the sick, the
aged, the children and tho otherwise
helpless creatures bereft or homes
and friends through the terror of
war. The Red Cross films fit in.
well with the excellent article by
Esther Lovejoy that appeared in a
