" A neighbor brines out the idea or the surrender in,; of sovereignty very well, in cl'ins; the fact that the I'nitel State Raj the command of her whole army of two million men to a French marshal.

Raise spinach. ,x ' That sounds prosaic. : But these lines are written to prove that it is dramatic That, worked out through all the variations, it becomes epic in the life of Salem and the surrounding country. The raising of spinach, right now, and the raising of it in suf ficient quantities, and following this with the raising of string beans, and carrots, and tomatoes, sweet corn, etc., in sufficient quantities, means-that the Salem factory of the Salem King's Products Co. can run at capacity the year through twenty-four, hours a day. and .363 days in the year, which it must do in order to keep down the "over head,' and which it must do in order to make it possible to double its capacity, according to plans ; which it must do in order to formu late its marketing campaigns on a basis of a certain supply; and, moredVer, which it must do in order to make feasible the putting in of by-products machinery. This factory used last year 14,666,000 pounds of vegetables. Make it fifteen million pounds, for round numbers., It paid out here $372,888 cash. " Make it $400,000, for the same purpose. Those figures can be largely increased, with the present equip ment. They can be much more than doubled without great ex penditures for additional machinery, and with almost no additional "overhead" at the factory. But these things all go back to spinach, the earliest vegetable cop; AND SPINACH NOW; not next year, or some other year. Don't you see, now. that the raising of spinach is epic; and that it may become even lyric in the song of prosperity that will swell in all this beautiful valley? T "We offer an unlimited hrarket." -"Support your factories.'' The above are two slogans in the current advertising campaign of thr Salem King's Products Co. They are splendid community slogans.

The plan is flexible. There communitr. however small. could not adopt it In par. The ex tent to which it could be developed is limited only by material resourc es, vision and public spirit. The community that elects to erect a me morial t the soldiersyla the more convenient fo:m of arch or shaft will, of course, he within its rights and supported by time-honored pre cedent; but this will not exclude it fwjm the opportunity, indeed the obligation, also to direct its commu nity life In accordance with a quick ened resolve that thrse honored dead fchall not . have "died ia vain.

Federal Supervision 0m m MteIStates SaIom Oregon, r '-"SO The United States bureau of edu cation is following up its suggestion cf the fitness of community build ings as soldiers' -memorials with par ticulars of the plaa as it is already being carried out in Various Dlac-sill and with details a to reo,tii;eraents and possibilities. There Is undoubt edly a sound basis for the feeling ihat the memories of those who gave and who Hiked their Jives in tho acrvico of their countrv should be preserved In enduring . granite and b:onze. There is a legitimate appeal to seatiment which a strictly utilitarian structure cannot entirely satisfy. A monument is wanted. The community building idea has the ad vantage of not being In conflict with this desire. ' Such a building can be in a very literal sense a moaunent; Its peculiar merit is that it can be made even more directly and posi tively to perpetuate and enrich the ideals for whose protection the sol die: fought.: ; ' In illustration of the new spirit In which the memorial idea Is being taken ; bold of the bureau a state ment cites four instances in Iowa, widely different in detail. In the little town of Clarlnda a fide arm ory building that was little used was acquired and made over for use as a center of community activities, with special provision for returning sol- x dlers: In Fairfield the Jefferson iwuniy community club bought a ij1n"l'lV'""l"T;'''1'' ss w v www snsv mm - a a. i w mm mm m w m m m m w m m v m mm.--.. 1 m : ' : " m i Ve have just received from eastern (Injjoii, :J0 lieal ot strictly prime, praia fel. two-year old Hereford st cen? and vvefruarantec this meat to he the rhoieest in Salem.
