WANTED, 1000 MORE FARMERS TO PLANT LOGANBERRIES : The loganberry industry is one of the most vital industries to Salem and the surrounding country. ! , ; . Its growth, 'yog, even its pertetuity. depends upon the Keeuring of 1000 more fanners, or more, who will plant from one to three or four acres each, THIS SPUING. ' Not next spring. - This spring. And this should be done in the next thirty days. Unless the plantings can be secured, the industry will not last. The Pheasant Northwest Products Company has spent and is spending hundreds of thousands of! dollars to develop loganberry markets. Every bit of the advertising of this company contributes to the. building. .up of demand for loganberries in any shape what soever. 4 . . , Juffy-Jeil is now coming into the field as a strong specific ad vertiser of loganberries, a direct outcome of the work of this forward-looking local company. Extract people, numbers of them, are entering the same field. : This increased and increasing demand calls for more land de voted to loganberries. I The industry absolutely depends upon a large and still larger output.. '-, ; . There is a great industry, an enormous industry, within the reach of our people, with Salem as its headquarters eventually bringing millions of dollars annually here. Hut the whole industry depends upon more and still more plantings of loganberries by our farmers; and 3000 Tanners are needed right now, in the Salem district, to plant more loganberries, this spring; 1000 farmers or more. I c- Those of us who are inclined to. be despondent because of our failure to accomplish anything worth while would do well to remem ber Bancroft, the great American historian who died a few days ago, at ,the ripe age of. 86. Up to his fortieth year he had never written a manuscript. His education in the public schools was extremely lim ited and he, obtained practically all of his infonnation by hard dig ging among old books. The secret of his success was not pull, but work. And yet there are young men of 25 whose constant whine i that they ''never had a chancel" I -' There is strong .intimation that the great western drive of the German forces will have to wait for a sweep into Macedonia, and then another sweep through Italy. That may sound good to German ears; to the people at home who are Jired of the war an'd the slaughter and proposed further slaughter of heir sons. Hut this calculation takes no account of what the allies are doing on the western front, and on the other fronts, and what they will bo able to do a little later, with the more perfect organization of the American forces. The Germans will have to fight soon on the western front, either an offensive or a defensive. How are you coins; to' whip a na tion whose men stand on the deck and sing "The Star Spangled Ban ner" as the vessel ..s swallowed In rt vortex of the -sea? Excfiange. You can't, That's the answer. The questionnaire reveals the fact that there are 2,496,000 men fit for outjr In the army now on the draft rolls. These, let it be remembered, are in addition to those in the ser vice. We are not lacking the man power. It is maple-sugar-making timo back east. In the hills of that re gion millions of maples stand solemn and gray in the snow, but their root lets already feel the melting warmta of the earth's heart and their twU tips answer to the caress of the sun. The sap stirs, We are ykt of the opinion that when Russia jsees through it she will see it through. Los Angeles Tlmea. That is rather hopefnl for the Times. Hut let us al hope. That may help. The authorities of the United States and Canada are agreed that everything possible must be done to Increase the catch of fish. Iterauw of this has come the agreement to relax' any hampering restriction hitherto In force. Everything will, be done to speed up the catching and marketing of salt water fish, and this Is only good sense under exist ing condition. The manager of a luxurious New York city hotel is prepared to deal with pampered dogs as they are re lated to the conservation of food. He finds his kitchen catering too ex travagantly, to forty dogs quartered In the kennels. The hotel has bee i drawn upon for meat, sweets and ijllk, and bones which have been taken for the dogs lTre needed for other purposes. Therefore gueau will be asked to buy food elsewhere for their pets. The hotel -man sumj Up by saying, "the war has forced many difficult sacrifices, and al though I am a lover' of dogs, I do not see the" purpore of surfeiting them with luxuries at this time.-' Statesman Neither does Mr. Hoover, who finds that many rich people in the east have been slow to do their part in the higher food caving campaign. KMHKIVH 8KCKKT FOOD 8TOHK8. If there Is one secret more than another about their private affairs that the kaiser and his family have kept carefully concealed from the German public it Is the existence of the royal private food stores. The story, coming from Amster dam, as told by one who was in the personal service of the imperial fam ily. Is that -some five years ago, when Germany was already speeding up her preparations , for war, the kaiser had secretly laid by consider able quantities of various foods against the day when Germany' fcod supplies might be considerably reduced. These royal stores of food, with the Exception of certain stores of food at the royal palaces, were laid .down under tho direction of the war office. There are said to be six of thes-j stores, In various places about Ger many. Tho largest is at Frankfort. The contents of this store and an other at Munich are reserved entire ly for the use, of the kaiser land tho Imperial household. The -other storo.i at Tosen, Dantzlc, Breslati and Karl rruhe, are for the benefit of other German royalties. The foods at the Frankfurt store consist of flour, rice, pork, mutton, t hlckens, hares, venison, rabbits, fifth, eggs and Indian meal. At th4 Munich, store there are raisins, rut rants, preserved peaches, plums an.l ether frnlta, Jains of different kind, and there is also a well-stocked win- cellar. I.Ike everything the Germans do. these foods were stored on a defi nite and methodical plan. Hcfor laying down the stores at Frankfort and Munich, which are reserved for the use of the kaiser and the imper ial entourage, an estimate, was made of the average quantity of various foods consumed dally In the imper ial household by the royal family, members of the "household and ser vants. On this basis sufficient fond was stored to meet the requirement of the Imperial establishment for eighteen months. There is in these stores sufficient food to supply 215 persons daily with more than a pound of meat, a pound of bread and a pound of fruit for eighteen months. The kaiser is said to have personally checked all fbe calcula tions that were made, in preparing the estimates for the quantities of food to be laid down in the stores; and he later visited the stores from time to time. At each of these royal stores there is of course a system of cold storage by which food can be kept in per fect condition for years. The Frank fort store is probably the most elab orately and perfectly constructed storehouse of Its kind lti the world. The store was originally a mill and mill house which was purchased by the kaiser. Underneath the mill there was a very large cellar for the itorage of corn. This cellar was very considerably enlarged and floored and lined throughout with whltj tiles. An electric generating plant was installed and the stores are elec trically lighted. The making of this and other roy al stores and the storage of fool could not of course be carried out secretly, but the object of them was kept a closely guarded secret. Local ly it was rumored that these stores vere being constructed for m'lltary purposes that is for the storing or food for the army, and as it was well known that at this period a good deal of food was being stored for thl purpose in various parts of Germany, this version of the reason of these stores was credited. The total cost of all the private loyal food stores in Germany amounted to upwards of a million dollars; fifty per cent was borne by the war office. The other fifty per cent was paid by the kaiser, the crown prince, the king of Saxony, the king of Havaria. the king of Wurtemberg and the duke of llruns wick. The crown prince's food store is at Dantzlc and the stores were laid -iiown under the.personal supervision jof the prince when he was sent there by the kaiser two years before the beginning of the war. Thus it will be seen that whatever turn the war may take the kaiser has taken very good care that he will not have to tighten his belt. But it Is likely that the precautions he has taken to meet the demands of hi fclomach whilst his subjects may be half starving would not strengthen his popularity If they became known. IIOOVKU'H AI.MA MATEIt Has Faith In the Federal Food Ad ministrator. (William Herbert Carruth, pofessor of English in Stanford University.) The world Is full of flounderers wh.j flop this way and yon, Who get In other people's way and ask what's to be done; So the thankful world is ready to toss Its hat and shout For the man who always seems to know Just what he Is about. And in this fearful crush of war all we who cannot fight, Yet want to do our honest bit, were looking for the light; A Joseph rose, and Wilson chose, the 'loyal heart and stout. For Wilson knew that Hoover knew what Hoover was about. We don't pretend to understand the chemistry of food;, Wo only know that victuals taste some bad and others good; We read the Hoover bulletins as fast as they come out. Assured that Herbert Hoover knows what Hoover is about. We cannot join the allied drives galnxt the German ranks, And since we cannot risk our lives in cruisers, planes and tanks. We'll diet on to victory and force a German rout. For we believe that Hoover knows what Hoover is about. If wheatless days and meatless days, and sweetiess days as well. Are followed up by eatlcss days we vow we wou't rebel. If these are not too numerous, for w will never doubt That WilBon knows that Hoover " knows what Hoover is about. This nation swears by Hoover and will Join the hymn of praise For wheatless, meatless, heatless. i sweetiess, treat less, eatles ; da's, Prepared, If need should be, to llv? the whole year through on kraut. For the' nation knows that Hoover knows what Hoover Is about. I BITS FOR BREAKFAST Plant more loganberries. S And plant them in the next thirty days.

HOOVER IS ASSAILED Senatqr Reeci Attacks Meat less Day Plan; Fuel Order Called Idiotic WASHINGTON, March 8. Only about three-fifths of. last year's rec ord, breaking corn crop Is merchant able, the department of agriculture's grain report today Indicated, Not since 1883 has the percentage of the eron merchantable boon so low. Larue quantities of tho corn is so soft that it had to be fed to livestock at once to prevent total loss. About 1.005.723,000 bushels of the 3,159. 494,000 bushels crop is all that could bo offered for sale placing the quan tity lower than that available from the-smaller 1915 and 1916 crops. 'While the supply of wheat last year was 100,000.000 bushels less than the previous year stocks held by farmers March 1 totalled 111.272,000 bushels. Senator Wolcott, Democrat of Del aware, said Mr. Hoover had denied adoption of a farm product-fixing plan, disclaiming authority, but he and other senators Insisted that acts of the food administration, particu larly under its wholesale and retail dealers' licensing power, was having that effect In .actual practice. Food Head Assailed. "We would not have had so many meatless days if there hadn't been so many brainless days." Senator Reed declared. "A few more " acts of the food administration and we will have bread tickets. I believe the efficiency of the United States has been reduced twenty per cnt by Ignorant Interference with business methods." In securing the so-called voluntary agreement with refiners on sugar prices, Senator Lodge of Massachu setts, Republican, remarked the food administration "managed" to fix prices. In criticising the fuel admlnlstra, tion, 8enator Reed commented upon Dr. Garfield's statement that as the result of the fuelless days 480 ships were released from American ports. "I am sorry that Dr. Garfield gave out that statement, because it Is not true," he said, adding that shipping board figures showed that 56 less ships were released than under nor mal conditions. Idiotic LokIc Charged. "They stopped water power in Maine to get coal to bunker shins In. New York harbor," he said. "In order to understand the logic of that you have got to be a plain Idiot." Turning to what be called inef fclency in the war department, the Missouri senator said General Per shing had notified tho department not to send any more shoddy uni forms for American oldlers in France. The priority order by which coal was diverted for lake shipment to the northwest last summer was assailed by Senator Reed, who said ho de sired to congratulate Senator Kellogg THE "FINAL- TER Cheaper LADIES' STREET N In Ivories, Greys, Browns, also Black patterns ...$7.95, $7.45, Special Ivory or Grey, a real $7.00 SpecialPatent with Grey cloth top, MEN'S OPPORTUNITIES special .$0.35 PLENTY OF OTHER GOOD THEY SELL The Keith Konqueror Shoe does net need to go after easterners.
