KING'S COMPANY ON A FIRM BASIS
section of the party who seem to
be determined that his political
eclipse hhall remalu permanent.
President Wilson's physical
condition is much improved. He
no doubt feels Hie exhilaration of
being relieved from running the
IK-tnocratic policies of the coun
try. Some load.
Champ Clark will go on the lec
ture platform. Fate has been un
kind to Champ. Eight years ago
he was the choice of a large ma- i try
jority of the Deuioera'Ie delegates lanes wauace
dent-elect Harding, the Repuba
can party and the country. lWw
sides, it is Harding's cabinet, not
Johnson's.
Mr. Wallace, who has the inside
tiack for the agricultural post,
ih said to be against Hoover, lue
people at large know very littl-
about Wallace, but they know a
great doal about Hoover. It Mr.
Harding, in his anxiety for har
mony, decides to drop Wallace
and take Hoover, there will be
very little dissent from the coun-
but if he drops Hoover, and
there will doubt-
for the presidential nomination,
but he was outfooted.
More front-porch business at
the Jlarding-'inaugural. Ho will
deliver his address to the peopl"
rrorn th east portico of the Capi
tol. He1 will have the world for
an pxudiencs quite a boost for a
one-time country editor.
Another thing, the Democrats
will not leave much money iu the
1'itited States treasury for tha
Republicans to loot. The case
U almost as bad as during the
Cleveland administration, when
it was necessary to issue bonds. to
pay the! expenses of the govern
ment. r
kss bo a different story.
Little men have no enemies.
1'ig men have many e.iemics. If
Mr. Harding shall select a cabi
net to whfch nobody obj-ctf he
will Jiave a cabinet which nobody
approves. Oresoulan.
Want to take this occasion to thank you for the splendid
editorials and news items in your paper concerning the King s
Food Products Company and dehydration, also to compliment
you on your untiring efforts to build up the natural industries
of your community. I . . . - .
Your sincere enthusiasm and appreciation of the Pssi
h;mt in doVivrlratinn are verv eratifyine and as the public
' is beginning to see and understand these possibilities, dehy
dration is growing by leaps and bounds. --. - .-
Fnr vmir infnrmation. I micrht sav that every fruit sec
tion of California is vitally interested in dehydration and
many systems and plants are teing established, all of which
is of .great help to King's, because we have been practically
alone in the field in a large commercial way, and others com
ing into it will help in educating the consuming public and
'there is room in the market for many such institutions. Our
greatest job at the present time is to hold the outstanding
first place in the dehydration industry that we now have, and
as we build to meet the demand, isaiem ana tne community
are coiner to reaD the benefit. -
There are those who scoff at the possibilities of dehy
dration as there have been people who scoffed at every great
endtavor that has ever been put "over. Big mgn pay little
attention to the scoffer while he is knocking and grumbling
on the wayside, the progress of big things inarches right on.
;King's Food Products are firmly established in Salem
and will grow to the point of it being a great factor in the
cnmmiinitv. Kiner's dehydrated fruits and vegetables are be
coming f irmly established in the big consuming markets of
. . . m m 'it t
the country and m aue course 01 lime win De esiaDiisnea in
the important markets of the world. These efforts cannot
be accomplished over night, nor can they be accomplished
without the expenditure of money, but the results from the
efforts and expenditure of money on King's Dehydration is
pyramiding just as fast as the consumer learns to his own
satisfaction the economy, healthfulness and convenience of
the dehydrated products. t
I notice in your editorial of Wednesday morning, the
statements that an additional issue of $1,500,000 of King's
securities is being sold. This is not technically correct, and
as I have not had an opportunity to call on you to give you
the exact statement of this fact, will say . that the -King's
Food Products Company has art authorized capital of $10,
000,000, of which $1,500,000 will be paid up now. The balance
of the authorized capital will be .taken in as the industry
progresses on a conservative basis in years to come. Of this
$1 00,000 now paid up, $500,000 was underwritten by the
American Securities Company and Dundas Martin Company
of Portland and San Francisco. In other words, they guar
anteed the King's Company this amount of money and se
cured them with bankable securities, in which case they have
performed a service of immeasurable value to the industry,
and incidentally to Salem. They are now selling this under
written block; of stock of $500,000, and that is all there is
to the proposition. We personally hope that they can sell
a good quantity of these securities to the people of Salem,
who are loyal to their basic industries. Very truly yours,
. KING'S FOOD PRODUCTS COMPANY,
- - E. A. CLARK, President.
v ' ,
f; The Statesman is pleased to print the above private let
' ter to the editor, not on account of the complimentary
wdrds : - ."
Though they are highly appreciated
f But to give the correct information concerning the stock
sale to our readers. It show that the sale of the extra $500.
000 of stock is assured is underwritten,' that the King's
Food Products Company may go ahead with arrangements
for expansion including the trebling of the output of its Sa
lem plant and the construction of the cold storage plant in
connection therewith . :
And whatever stock the people of this section may buy
will be put into'a going concern; and an expanding one, with
the greatest benefits' accruing to this city and community,
because the chief factory is located here .
, And the writer understands, from the men placing the
stock, that Salem people are subscribing to the issue very
generally and very liberally.
Celery is the Salem slogan sub
ject for;. The Statesman of next
Thursday. The slogan editor
needs your help, in showing that
this Is a; good celery country. We
need more celery growers. The
industry, brings big sums of mon
ey to our section, and ought to
bring a great deal more every
year.
COTTAGKS SAVE HOYS.
Jacob
Kanzler, judge of the
court of domestic relations, is an
enthusiastic advocate cf ths cot

NThe system of housing at the
present training school is poor."

Indeed. And the more and the
cfteuer Mr. Harding displeases
Hiram, the better the great ma
jority of the people of the United
fetatcl will like it.
Hiram is for nothing and no
body unless he thinks it will ad
vance the interests of Hiram. And
even in this he more often reeds
protection against his own Judg
ment than otherwise; he is so
otten mistaken even as to what is
good for his own political for
tunes. '
FKKXC1I ELECTIONS.
In the recent French elections
the Communists and United So
cialists did not elect a single
member to the assembly, although
they made nominations and con
ducted active campaigns in a doz
ei. districts. France la normally
safe and sane and the apostles of
discord have had a hard task iu
disturbing established conditions.
The country may be said to be
almost immune against the Com
taune. The radicals run things
every now and then but they seem
to have an understanding on how
far it 13 safe to go. They are far
from becoming revolutionary. One
of the incidents , of the election
was the come-back of Taul Des
chanel, former president, whose
retirement -was under circum
stances both amusing and sensa
tional. He was returned to the
senate by a majority of two votes.
The present troubles of the
French administration in cabinet
making are but a clearing of the
skies. The government Is sound
and stable at the core.

vice tucu will all be there.
The Hits for Hreakfast man
had a paragraph yesterday morn

each. It takes 4S of them to
weieh a pound. That is $24 a
pound. Multiply $24 by 2000 and
you have $48,000 for a ton or flax
fiber, and subtract the $4 00 for
the f!1er. and you have a "spread"
of $47. COO for th spinning of the
threwd and the weaving of It.
That Is surely some "spread," In
dicating fabulous profits of the
linen trust. Thre may be 1 l.OOy

2750 tons of fiber. Multiply that ;

X letter addiessed to James
Cox, editor of the Dayton (Oj

place. r
One of the prettiest fights to

When .Mr. Harding settles down
to the ta.sk of naming a cabinet
Tyr himself, and relieves the vol
unteer and conscripted army of
best minds of the labor of doing
it for him, bis difficulties will
begin to disappear. It is consol
ing to hear from him that "no
selection will be made because of
party obligation without consid
eration for the best service to the
country." .That would appear to
dispose of Harry Daugherty,. his
political manager.'
Hut it is not so easy to dispose
of Mr. Hoover. Certainly his
claims to consideration, are not
partisan; the opposition is noth
ing but factional and partisan.
The public bears through the
authoritative letters of Mark Sul
livan that Hiram Johnson will
consider th selection of Mr.
Hoover a "personal arrront."
Without asking why the nomina
tion of any eminent and qualified
merican citizen should be an af
front to Johnson, it is sufficient
to say that his oppositi.it is a fatr
n easure of his internet in Piesl-

promise her to never aaln smoke

it is a 'fine - thing to , save our
youth from the tobacco habit, but
he adds that any movement to
that end "should be carried 011 in
perfect good faith and free from
any hint of hypocrisy.- Some

presidentelect was doubtless sin

shouldn't be reformers merely for
the sake of being disagreeably
quarrelsome about something.
They should be honest and unsel
fish about it. Also they should
preferably be sufficiently experi
enced to know what they are talk
ing about. The fact that some old
maid doesn't like the smell or to
bacco is not overwhelming argu
ment for a smokeless world.
OUT OF TIIK RACE.
When a person wakes up with
a stiff back, has pains in muscles,
aches in his joints, or has rheum
atic twinges, he lacks ambition
and energy and cannot do his
best. If you feel out of the race,
tired and languid, or have other
symptoms or kidney trouble, you
should act promptly. Foley Kid
