C Grif fith of Portland Manufac turing Concern MEETING HERE TUESDAY Guarantee of Thousand Acres and Third of Crop Asked by Company A starch factory for Salem is as enred if negotiations now pending, with the Salem Commercial Club, tbe Marion County Potato Growers' associtalon and J. C. Griffith, vice president and mantger of the Pacific Potato Starch company, parties to the negotiations, come to a success ful conclusion. Such a factory, in addition to the manufacture of starch, would make potato meal, po tato flour, and fertilizer. i The factory proposed for Salem would cost about $60,000 and would require a building of 120 square feet and three stories In height. One possible obstacle is the difficulty la obtaining machinery on account of war conditions. The only other pos sible hitch In tbe proceedings woul l be balking of tbe growers In making contracts to furnish tbe potatoes, but 1 Is believed that tbe inducements offered them will be so attractive that they will readily recognize thi value of such a factory to potato pro ducers. , Conference Held In Portland. The ; commercial club and tbe Marlon County Potato Growers' as socitalon. represented by its secre tary, W. C. Franklin, have called meeting for Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at tbe Salem Com mer cial club, to which is invited ail growers of potatoes in Marlon and Polk counties and all persons who are Interested In tbe raising of that vegetable. ' . The calling of the meeting follows a conference with Mr. Griffith In Portland by L. J. Cnapln, w. C. Franklin, Hugh Asplnwall. and Ivan O. Mc Dan lei. In the conference Mr. Griffith virtually agreed to establish tbe factory in Salem If at least 1000 acres can be contracted for the pro duction of potatoes, each farmer to furnish one-third of his crop. One Immense advantage to the farmer in tbe marketing of hla crop Is that this third would be the culls, or potatoes which are too small for marketing through other channels. Fifty cents a hundred is guaranteed for the culls. At the meeting Tuesday the pro posal will be placed before tbe grow ers to ascertain If Interest is suffi cient to warrant further effort. If enough interest Is shown tbe com mercial club, which is to handle the financial end, will Immediately get action toward obtaining tbe neces sary acrege. Griffith to Meet Board. Following the meeting Tuesday, Mr. Griffith will meet the industrial department of the club and the board of directors and lscuss his of fer with tbe officials. Commenting on the situation. Sec retary Franklin of the potato grow ers' association says: "For several years the potato growers of the Willamette valley in general and of Marlon and Polk counties In particular, have met with many discouragements; to such an extent that tbe industry is In such n condition that it does not bring much. If any, profit to the grower and in many Instances bringing al- $9.00 How Health Is Restored The brain sits on top of tbe spine. It extends itself down through the center of the spinal column and shoots off through every opening be tween all the bones In It. By separat ing Itself into parts called nerves, it reaches every cell In every part of the body. It is the feed line for the fire that lefines all tbe food tbe body uses. It does its work so well that tbe dross goes out of the body thru waste sources, and the life matter is absorbed by tbe parts to produce growth and action. All of these nerves go through the backbone. It Is tbe bony channel nature arranged to insure the soft nerve tmnks a system of perfect dis tribution. If it stays in shape, all goes well with your body. If it gets disordered, it squeezes the soft nerve trunks and that shuts off energy from the brain to the degree and in the manner you could interrupt tbe flow of water by squeezing a. soft rubber tube between your fingers. Suppose you had such a tube con nected to give one drop of water per second to a. plant in order that tbe plant might have healthy life. If you barely touch the tube with tbe finger It will effect the speed of tbe flow. Keep this up and your plant gets sick. Restore tbe condition to nor mal and. In due time, your plant will recover. That Is nature's way of doctoring Too much or too little water will kill the plant. Too much or too little Impulse from the brain makes any part of your body deseased. It Is the spine that is out of whack. Its displace ments make the nerves too tense or too slack. The Chiropractor by aimple spinal adjustments releases tbe soft nerve trunks from pressure and allows nerve energy to flow freely from tbe brain to tbe diseased part Health naturally follows. DR. 0.

"There are, of course, many thlnzs tnat have brought about these eondi tions, some at least which can be or- ereome, and I am optimistic enough 10 oeueve that all can ba controlled in time by proper methods and close attention on the part of tbe grower. It seems the one thing that has caused most of this dlscourrement to the grower Is tbe loss of the out side markets to other localities. am not prepared to tell just what the immediate cause of losing this mar ket is, but there Is no difficulty in any one seeing why we are not re gaining that market, namely, the lack of proper grading and shipping memoas. mere are undoubtedly many reasons ror losing tbe market. mong them may be lack of co-operation and organization on the part of the growers, lack of co-operation of buyer and grower. Dut let us as growers not lose eight of the fact tnat we must grow a uniform variety or potato ana pack and grade that variety In clean.' uniform sacka and to a standard grade that can always we aepenaea on. There can be no question but that we can grow as une a quality or potato as Is grown on me coast. Neither can there b any aouot that we can secure the highest price in tbe market for those potatoes, provided th market ran absolutely depend on our pack. rtoive cull Problem. "For several months I. with av. eral other growers, have been look. Ing Into the market reaulrementa of tne potato, pertaining to variety, rack and ways of handling, etc. While In all our investigations we have found we can alwajs sell a fancy potato providing we ran get them in large enough quantities, we have met with a very serious ques tion. What shall we do with our culls? Just recently we have met with a proposition of a potato starch factory and its by-products, which are many. , "J. F. Ortfflth, vice-president and manager of the Pacific Potato Starch company, of Portland, will addres the potato growers, Tuesday In the auditorium of the commercial club. "Mr. Griffith will present to the growers a proposition whereby he will take care of all our cull po tatoes. This is an Important matter to tbe potato grower and I hope every man who grows ptatoes will make a special effort to be present and let us Investigate this proposi tion. If this proposition is accept able It will get us over the big thin in our way of assuring ourselves and the potato trade of always puttlnc up an A No. 1 grade of potatoes. If we are always sure of our pack the potato Industry will redeem Itself In this community and place Itself on a par with the other lndnatrles of the valley where It rightfully belongs."

JONES IS' CANDIDATE FOR STATE SENATE Four Men Are Definitely in Race for Positions in Upper Hoqse NEW NAMES MENTIONED Wain of Salem and Hickman of Gervais May Run for Lower House ;sy , . W. AL, JONES. W. Al. Jones is the latest Marlon county man to announce himself as a candidate for tbe state senate. Mr. Jones has been tbe subject of, much speculation relative to tbe pesonnel or tne Marion county aspirants, ana his announcement makes It certain that the contest for the two positions In tbe upper house will probably be the hottest in the county s history. Mr. Jones has served two terms In the lower house, having been elected to the 1915 session from Union and Wallowa counties, and to the 1917 session from Marion county. ' He served four years as a member of tbe state fair board and one year as ,secretary of the board. Another public position held by Mr. Jones was as a member of the special board of investigation appointed by the leg islature In 1901 In connection with the George W. Davis school land de falcation. The other two members of the board were J. C. Ilackett of Orejron City and J. C. llodson of Newberg. The method of keeping the records in tbe ofrlce of the state land board at the piesent time Is virtually the same as installed by the special board following the Davis . investigation. In the state senate of 1915 Mr. Jones served on tbe ways and means and the resolutions committee. His committee connections made him an important factor in keeping Oregon's taxes to a minimum. Mr. Jones is a native of Marion county and has lived most of his life here, though having spent some vears In eastern Oregon. He Is a farmer and stockman. Waconda Is bis precinct. Four men have now definitely an- rvxunred themselves as candidates for the senatorahlp from Marlon county. The other three are Ixuls Lachmund, Sam IJrown and A. M. La Follette. For the house of representatives Z. J. RIkks, George W. Weeks. Ivan G. Martin, D. II. Looney and 'John Din wood le have announced their aodidacy. It now develops that Sey mour Jones will probably again be a andldate for the lower house with he expectation of making a race for no speakership. Mark Poulson of Silverton. who was talked of for the enate. will probablr seek a chair In the lower house. Names not nrevl- usly mention but which are now on 'he lips of persons whose ears are losest to the ground are those of K. T. Wain of Salem and Dr. II. o. Hickman of Gervais.
