THE GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD An additional issue of a million and a half of dollars in stock is, now being sold by the King's Food Products Com pany, and offerings are being made to the people of all the cities up and down the Pacific Coast And perhaps of the East, too. " , The Statesman is not in touch with the intimate pro gram of the concern, the Dundas-Martin Company, which has undertaken this 'stock sale: but it has an office in Salem, in the Oregon building, and offerings are being made here pjid the writer understands that the idea is to hurry the mat ter, and close out the present offerings in a short period of time -;- '. H i And The Statesman does know something about the process of dehydration, and the writer believes it is the biggest thing in the world in food conservation ; a And the process used by the King's Food Products Corn pany, covered by some thirty patents, is more nearly per fect than any other. ". If. Is s far from the tAA nrocess of merelv drvincr food products as the science of astronomy is from the ideas of me ancients wno Knew me sun went eacn iweniy-iour nours around the earth because they saw it; or thought they did. v -Dehydration means the taking out of the water juut tne denyarauon oy the Kinsrs process means a great deal more. It means taking out the water in such ivays as to leave all the original flavor of the fruits and veg etables; all the original color; all the food cells; all the orig inal value in every particular y . : And thee consumer, any where, any time, merely puts back the water; ahd the original qualities are all there, un impaired; . It transfers ur sunshine and rain and ourf rich toil to the farthest corners of the earth; heat does not af fect it, neither does cold. " , 1 A It Is a home Industry to the Nth degree o buy the nails for the outside shipping boxes . ' i 11 "'All the money excentinir the Drofits of the corrroan v. to be distributed in dividends. , There is no freight to pay on cans from the factories and backy on. the boxes containing the cans; on the water; on the 'sugar both ways - , - And, in due course, billions (yes, billions), will be saved to the people of the United States on freight alone, on the food products that will be dehydrated under this process. ; And the headquarters are in Salem, Oregon, and already , the biggest dehydration plant, which is to be trebled in ca pacity this year, and to which is to be added this year a cold storage plant, In order to admit of operation the whole year tnrougn. Even those who irs experts In wireless can appreciate the, fact that the new' station at Sainte Assbti, Prance, is to hare 16 steel towers 820 feet high. While the Lafayette station which jj th e French have taken over has a working radius of but 4 500 miles and cannot ordinarily talk with Argentina, the new station! will reach easily all parts of the world. , K, Martens of the" Lenlne regime! hurried over to enjoy a like hov I pltality. - liat he came too late. He certainly ban ' a legitimate grouch at Wing banirhed ; with cut a darned cent after whit he had ben led to believe was our pleatsnt custom. That Is ' the trouble with us American, w are so extreme. MAX OF PEACE. I The local building and loan as sociation Is taking in now over 1 1000 a w?ek. and each new loan made and each new share of stock sold swells the volume of money to be passed on for the building ot more' new homes in Salem. There are about ten new houses going up all the time now, with money being famished by this association; and the applications for money for more new homes s re about six weeks ahead of the upply. So doubt at the end of six weeks, the present applica tions having been provided for. there will be a lar;;e enough batch or additional applications to put the demand still six weeks ahead of the supply; perhaps longer, with the opening of spring. The thing to, do is to just keep on keeping on, and. If there Is sufficiently vigorous work on the part of the force telling shares, perhaps th9 supply will eventu ally catch up with the demand. It should. . The money is here, and every man, woman and child in Salem Is a possible stockhold er. And It is a splendid invest ment.- Tbe association has never bad a foreclosure, and there are no delinquents. It is as solid as GIbralter; or as the government, and the stock is a better invest ment than, government bonds; or Canadian bonds, or any other kind ot bonds. . Trince Itupprecht cf Havarla now tells an American interview. r that be was always vigorously oppored to lh war; that he did tot want to fight the English or Americans and that the sinking of the Lusitania was an inexcus able crlni. He was also always opposed . to submarine warfare and the bombing of cities from above. Measured by all this the prince was the sort of a bird1 one might find mixed up in a' nice quiet checker game. What was he doing In the German trenches with a firecracker in his hand? CVBAXS QUITE II UMAX. A GKAVK MATTTR. This all means a tremendous industry for Salem." and extending ,to the farms and. gardens around Salem, where the fruits and vegetables will be grown. . ' It will mean the employment of thousands of people And it will mean the drawing here from every quarter of the globe; of millions of dollars annually new money each year for our products to be expended here. . It is the biggest thing in the world in food conservation, and it is "the prospectively the biggest thing in Salem in money brought here; and this is said in the face of the fact that we have many other big things, already here and in the making, and in prospect. i . Believing all the above, does the reader wonder that the Writer is. enthusiastic over dehvdratinn? ' ; Vat is i no dry subject it is the juicest thing that ever wjnc mj flaiera; ana mis cuy is more than fortunate in be ing chosen the dehydration headquarters for the world For, remember, that there is only one true dehydration Of commerce, and its name is King's. ; A "Kansas directory publisher figured on being Interested In literature- In the life beyond. - Be fore his death he paid his sub scription to bis dally newspaper for 20 years la advance and pro vided that It he delivered regu larly at his grave every morning.

When sugar was selling at 2S cents a pound In the UniteJ 3tates fortunes were made over night in Cuba and general pros perity was sky high. At that time the Cuban minister In this country told us that prosperity was not turning Cuban heads, that there was no wild wave of extravagance as existed In this country and that savings accounts were swelling tti bank deposits. We were very much Impressed at the time with Cubans sagacity and, cn th authority of their minister, held them up as ex amples of wisdom, foresight and self-control. I Jut now It appears that Cubans were just human, after allJ When tbe price of sugar slumped the cane mills closed and Cuba went broke, and now they are indulging In an economic and financial panic for all the world like ordinary mortals. And :t looks as If the foolih, extrav agant, wasteful United States will have to step in to the rescue, after all. Chuphun Gilbert Attends Jft American Legion Meeting Chaplain William S. Gilbert of Astoria, returned to Bis home yesterday, after attending an ex ecutive committee meeting of the Salem branch of the American l glon. held Monday night, to con sider tbe bonu question. At this meeting a committee wss appointed to name an attor ney to prepare two bills to be presented at the present session of the legislature, the ' first ' to provide each man fifteen dollars for the time be was actively in. jervice. same to be refunded to) Oregon should the federal bonus! be granted. The second bill would provide, a loan- fund, through which the I ex-service men would be financ- ed for purchase of farms 'and homes at a low rate of interest and on the easy payment plan. Chaplain Gilbert is at present chaplain for the Fifth Oregon Infantry- During the war he filled the same position with the 162nd Infantry in France. IX GENERAL. With King Constantine's re turn to the throne of . Greece comes an; announcement . of the ci cation of twenty new generals. This might be called a general announcement. With a score of fresh generals and 200 new col onels Constantine makes the dove of .peace Jook like a. deaf, aid dnmb eanarv - - NEARLY UNANIMOUS. President Harding- olficial plurality was 7.001.7S, which of Itself was more votes than any Democratlcj candidate had ever received up to the time of Wil son. The plurality In Illinois alone was more than the entire Debs vote of the country, so that there Is no warrant for worry over any Socialist strength. We are a hospitable nation. It appears that ' since 1917 the United States has been support ing "Ambassador" Doris Bakhme teff, who came over from Russia .n the first flush of tjae Kerensky regime and opened the most ex pensive embassy building . In Washingtonon -money borrowed from this country. The treasury reports that we advanced the Ker ensky government S32S.000.000' In the brief heyday of its glory- of which $187,729,759 has been spent to 'date. V " There Is something rather pa thetic about this hasty and gen erous recognition of the Kerensky regime by the Democratic admin istration. Oh, they just had , money to burn at that time and who are we that we should begrudge such hospitality on our behalf? And no wonder Ludwig C. A.
