N 1. m HALLUCL NATIONS AND HUNCHES No vacation is so short that we do not miss the misses from our midst. Henry McKee of Perrydale, in dis cussing the McNary-Haugen bill said the bill provided for about everjthirg except someone to foot the losses. If it is true the building of a toll bridge from Rainier to Longview, will not hurt commercial accessibility from the ocean to Portland, citizens of various towns now supporting the project will sure be disappointed. A London scientist says that with in twenty years children will be fed on concentrated food through tubes. And they will probably get it from the cow just as they have for count less generations past. We suspect there was no rush and will be no rush to fill out the financial statements required by the county assessors until the last day of grace is here. Having waited one week a whole section of the questionnaire has been eliminated. What will another week bring forth ? As we understand it President Coolidge's vacation is to be spent west of the District of Columbia, not west of the Rockies. But regardless of low far he comes it. will still be west of the vacation spot of any of his predecessors, except Roosevelt whose ideas of a vacation differed from those of most presidents. A Portland inventor claims to have perfected a perpetual motion machine from hints received in reading the words of the prophet Ezekiel. He claims he has the machine ready to build but is keeping it under cover while stock can be sold to finance its construction and marketing in quan tity. Whether in selling stock in perpetual motion machines or oil wells there is always room for suspicion when the promoter seeks to cast it in a religious atmosphere. Before the city gets busy and clamps down the regulations with a dog ordinance we ought to have a dog show. Surely the assortment is large and complete.- We have a little of everything: big dogs, little dogs, thin dogs, fat dogs, long haired dogs, hounds, collies, pugs, mongrels, thoro breds, terriers, bull dogs, spaniels, watch dogs, dogs that need watching, black dogs, white dogs, brindle dogs, spotted dogs, to say nothing of hot dogs, fire dogs and just plain dogs. By all means let us have a dog show. How rare is disinterested service, is something which takes only the pres ence of money to make evident. From time to time we listen to the appeals of people who advocate the advance ment of some sort of benevolence. They may seek to alleviate conditions in the city slums; in the Near East; or perhaps where ruthless nature has left in its wake, desolation and misery." Contributions in each case come readily although we may have IF THE YOUNG BABY'S MOTHER, OBJECTS TO KISSING THEN KISS THE BABY cause to hesitate as to just how much it is to the financial interest of the individuals in the organisation which makes the appeal. We' realiie the temptation to keep such an organiza tion functioning after its need has been lost sight of because it serves as a means of support to the directors of the organization itself. Speculations of this sort follow the attempt now being made by Eamon De Valora, unreconciled Irish republi can who seeks to keep the Irish Free State officials from getting two and a half million dollars raised for the Irish cause in America. Something like six million dollars was raised originally, the rest of it having al ready been spent. It is now a matter of who is to spend the unexpended balance the Irish Free State led by President Cosgrove, or the unrecon ciled republicans led by De Valera? The Free State men have accepted and are carrying out a form of gov ernment similar to that of Canada. They make their own laws, choose their own officers, levy taxes and im pose tariff duties and have a separate diplomatic service. They have restor ed the Irish language, and renamed their towns with Irish names. Now they are trying to make 'headway to prosperity in an interval of peace. The De Valera followers who repre sent a decided minority of Irishmen in Ireland will be satisfied with nothing but absolute independence. They want to be free to league openly with England's enemies. They want to be free to war upon Ulster and to do all other acts and things which inde pendent states may of right do. But above all there rises the suspicion that they want this money to per petuate thejr jobs for how can a re former support himself and family when the reforms he advocates pro duce no emoluments? The blue sky law ought to be stretched to cover the self-stlyed med ical specialist who pretends an ability to cure incurable diseases. When the unfortunate victim of disease is ready to grasp at any forlorn hope this "specialist" appears and in consider ation of some large sum offers a cure. When he fails he always has an alibi and his money.. He is the vulture of the medical profession. FARM REMINDERS Strawberry growers of the county are particularly cautioned to remem ber that tests by the Experiment Station in the last two years have shown that because of the fact that there are at least three kinds of strawberry root weevils that it is necessary to apply the poison bait on two different occasions. The first ap plication coming before the crop is off. County Agent J. R. Beck states that in the near future he will have an exhibit of the three different kinds of strawberry root weevils in his office and that detailed instruction will be available on the preparation of the poison and also on the time of applying. Interested growers may have the informative material by making application to the county agent's office. The time for getting the poison bait material together is almost at hand. Tree fruit growers of this county can well remember the damage to their various fruits last year from the activities of the Syneta beetle that ate small holes in such fruits as the cherry, prune, apple etc. This is a pest that has been increasingly im portant during recent years and has been receiving the attention of the Oregon Experiment Station. Last year control measures were tried out in Schindler Bros, orchard at West Salem and a good degree of success was realized from at least two diff erent treatments. . Due to the shortness of these trials the Station is not making definite Something There is no food on earth so tempting when it's really pure and wholesome . , like Genuine Butternut and Holsum Bread CHERRY CITY BAKING CO. Salem, Ore. . IfcTraiik Crane Says (MtMtaM ' No Compromise With Liquor The liquor business is like a dead-' ly serpent. It is about as easy to regulate or to make legal as it is to tame a hyena. It is essentially a wild beast. It is unfortunately aligned with con viviality. Many people seem to think that getting drunk is a joke and the consumption of alcohol is amusing. They speak condoningly of the use of whiskey by the youth. Many people, and especially those engaged in wet propaganda, do not realize the deadly end of this peril. It is an own brother to murder, holdups, burglary! smuggling and thuggism. A man engaged in the business of enforcing the law of i-rMiibition takes his life in his hands, for those in the liquor business do not hesitate to kill when it is necessary. IF em braces not only low brow thugs, but millionaires and social leaders. i While the common people have de clared for the abolition of alcohol there are many who are determined to go on with their consumption of liquor. The efforts of the convivially in clined and those who think that their personal liberty has been interfered with are influenced by one of the strongest passions in the human breast greed. " It is difficult to enforce any law when the breaking of that law is backed up by human passions. The laws against arson, murder, adultery and theft are thousands of years old, yet they are constantly violated no matter what their evil effects. The law against the use of liquor is aimed at the greatest curse and cause of crime that humanity ha3 ever known. Those who see the vileness of its effects the moral degredation of youth and Hie damage to business recommendations as they expect to continue the work during the coming season. However, the results were of a nature that would justify their trial by interested parties and County Agent Beck states that he would be glad to inform any one who is inter ested as to the two methods which proved the most successful. Apple and pear growers of the county will also be particularly in terested in arrangements that Mr. Beck completed last week for an im proved codling moth spray timing service so as to enable apple and pear growers to spray at the most effect ive, ' time for the control of such worms. As this information will only go out to such growers, Mr. Beck de sires that all orchardists who spray for the codling moth be sure that their names are on the list to receive these notices at his office in order that no one will be left off. The very effective arrangements for keeping the cherry growers advised for the spray of the cherry maggot that resulted in such successful con trol during 1926 have again been ar ranged for and will be put in effect for the present cherry season. The details of this plan will be announced at a later date. On Friday, March 25, the one big basket-social of the season will be given in the high school gymnasium. There will be a good program con sisting of Indian and Negro stunts and songs. W. J. Stockholm will auction off the baskets. Free coffee will be served. There will also be a table of candy. If you want a real good time be sure and get in on this and ladies don't forget to bring your baskets.
