JOURNAL STOPS COMING
As one of our friends felt aggriev-
ed recently when his Journal stopped
coming it might be well to remind
our readers that the subscription
department is one which contains the
closest margins in the business of
the newspaper, and must be watched
closely to avoid loss. With print
paper now selling at 12 cents a
pound, over three times the price in
old almost-forgotten days, the Jour-
nal must stick close to its cash-in-
advance rule and will not carry any-
one over thirty days from the month
of expiration, and an extra month
should be sufficient for those who de-
sire the Journal continued to make
remittance. Several newspapms of
this class have recently increased
their subscription price to $2.50 and
$3, and the Journal may find it nec-
essary to take a similar step.
PROFIT IN SMALL FRUITS
Market conditions as reflected in
the daily s,aLcrnOtLgS a>sure a most
prosperous year lot the small Irmt
gl'OWel'B, l£55Ulli|llg OJ. COUI',O tJlab
nature iurntshes tle usual whole-
some processes and delivers a crop,
says tne t'ost-inteiligencer, dUSt now
the grower who desires to be sure of
his prolit can contract with canners
at prices that are exceedingly attrac-
tive, especmlly wlaen contrasted with
toe olu prmes that annually obtained
up to a year or ewe ago.
The market page inmcates that the
canners are now actively in tne field
:[or berries el all KinOs. Qk)ntracs
are being made for raspberries a
17 aim ±o cents per pounu, as agains
an opening price of 11 cents per
ountt Iasb year. btrawberries are
eagerly sought, eontractea for at 18
to 20 cents per pound. Cherries
bring 9 cents, loganberries, yielding
much heavier to tim vine ttan rasp-
berries, are contracted for at 12 to
15 cents per pound.
With sugar prices high, and going
higher, there is little encouragemen
for home canning in the market cpn-
ditions ,and the demand frdm house-
wives for small fruits is likely to be
very limited. It is fortunate for the
grower that canning companies, hav-
ing for the most part contracted for
their season suppnes of sugar at 17
cents per pound, are willing to take
the whole crop at the liberal figures
quoted. For the seasonal table con-
sumption strawberries are likely to
sell for 25 cents the pint in the heart
of the season.
All this, while not particularly at-
tractive to consumers, is a warrartt
of prosperity to tim small-frmt grow-
er, and comes about through the
OWth in the nation of the demand
preserved fruit, jams and juices,
and the development of large con-
cerns to meet toe demand. This con-
dition is not regarded as a temporary
affair, but one that should .continue
as long as prohibition contlnues to
stimulate the public appetite for fruit
• juices. It means that small-fruit
growers may confidently expect pro-
fits of $300 to $500 per acre on their
berries under average crop condi-
tions. It should stimulate the trans-
formation of our idle lands into crop-
bearing acres and add value to the
acres already in bearing.--P. I.
D. R. McDonald, while on a trip to
Seattle last Sunday, took advantage
of the opportunity to take a flight at
Auburn with Herbert Munter, in the
same machine that bore that Journal
editor aloft last Fourth. The trip
lasted a half hour and the passenger
wanted more. Mr; Munter suggested
.that he would like to visit Shelton
again next Fourth and the matter
will be taken up by the committee
L charge.

Water power development goes
hand in hand with indnstrial develop-

the lumber industry, is largely de-
pendent on the development of 'coast-
wise and overseas shipping facilities,
while development of a eannig indus-

ther scientific propagation of salmon

JUDICIAL KNOWLEDGE
OF
TITLE INSURANCE
In a recent decision of the Su-
preme Court of the State of Wash-
ington, in the 'case of Northwesterr
Title Insurance Co. v. Fishback, our
highest, court took "Judicial Known
edge" of the value of a Policy of
Title Insurance, in the following ex-
pression:
"The cot may take judicial
notice of the fact observed by
Vance on Insurance, page 590:
"'The thoroughness which char-
acterizes the work of these com-
panies (referring to Title In-
suran'ce Companies) is attested
by the remarkably small num-
ber of cases involving Title In-
surance that are to be found in
the reports.'"
