The Salem district has developed an important spinach industry; the most important in the state. But there is a hint in the Salem Slogan pages this morn fog of a coming boom in this induitry; and one that will be endujJ"omeg about through experiments of the Salem King's Food Products Company in putting up in pulverized form the spinach dehydrated at the Salem plant and plating it on the market in cartons and otherwise And it has made a hit. " It is proving its worth in dietary schemes for small chil dren and other children and adults. If the idea takes as the outlook now promises, thrtre will be an outlet for an immense amount of spinach every year And our farmehs will be called upon to furnish great quantities of this vegetable, which they can do, and which hov- will hp clad to do. Royce Allen, an experienced spinach grower in the Labish Meadows district, reports that he raised six tons to the acre last year for one crop. - When it is realized that two crops may be grown, in the early spring and the late fall, with a third crop of vegetables in between, the reader can easily see that our land and our people on the land are able to supply all the dehydration peo ple may demand , i' : "Oceans" of spinach, if it is needed. ' It is perhaps no longer necessary to say to the readers of The Statesman that the eating of spinach freely is a very im portant requisite for health. Every kitchen or home garden should have some spinach, and two crops should be raised, and some of it should be canned at home, or the commercially canned or dehydrated article should be used when it cannot be had iri the fresh form. ., ' Spinach is nearly as important in the dietary as milk; 1 and every up-to-date man and woman now knows that a vi rile race cannot be sustained without milk, nor healthy chil dren raised, nor old people kept in proper condition. . One of the greatest arguments in favor of spinach grow ing commercially in the Salem district is the fact that the spring, crop furnishes a cash return early in the season when money Is needed for the cultivation of other crops. And, in the same way, it adds materially to the net returns from any given number of acres of land under cultivation. , Next week, the Salem Slocran editor will att emnr tn shnw that Salem is the center of an onion industry of increasing importance. , f Every cherry grower should read and act upon the reve lation of the activities of the maraschino millionaires in try- mg jo prevent the placing of a protective tariff on Italia cherries.' That bunch of big business buccaneers put one over on the Democratic crowd administering the present free trade tariff law, for even this law provides for a duty of one cent a pound on any fruit in the process of manufacturing and surely cherries in brine are in the process of manufac- . turfng." But this covey of crooks and corsairs will not be able to put anything over on the incoming administration; espec ially If the growers of the Pacific coast will keep their eyes open. Tlje way these vultures of the maraschino plunder- ' bund have worked the administrators of the law leaves a natural inference that some of the deserving Democrats at the receipt of customs may not have been entirely disinter ested. The criminals in this country are not all in the jails, by a jug full. t J t-u Hod them out coute that sort be printed." Fighter YlewjmlHt Asked. 'What did you grt for tin horses when they were re-sold to Frfinc?" he was ask?d. ; 'I don't know," he replied, "but the price was low. Of cours-3 it was. The horses were taken from the field. It's easy to find fault, easy to say we should have struck a bigger bargain. Hut. put yourselves over there anil 1 think your viewpoint would be different." Before the supply service was co-ordinated everybody, Mr. Dawes said, was pulling in" dif ferent directions. "You have got the same trou ble here," he added, "with ten tbinet officers each trying to get everything for himself. Tno president ought to stop it. , Mr. Dawes said mistakes were made. ' - v "But. I am glad." he continued, "that there is a desire In some quarters to make a permanent and honorable record of what our men did. There have been .com plaints that our surplus in France was sold. It would have kent 40,000 men there trying to guard it while we peddled li In small lots. The men were 'brought home, and the best bargains of the war was in the sale of tha: stuff to France L "Xow. here is how we sold It. Members of our commission sat down ar a table with the French. We laid our cards down. I told our friends that some of us had suggested different prices, that this bird Judg? Parker was a hard-boiled egg and was stanuTng out for S450.000.000. I said I thought $400,000,000 was fair. and we traded." , "Every precaution was made to prevent payment of extortionate prices for supplies in France." Mr. Dawes said. Of course there were thieves hanging around. some or them Americans who wanted to reap a profit out of every deed of a soldier." be said. "There were grafters who went ' to Frenchmen with the sunnliea we needed and raid they could de mand and obtain exorbitant prices. They came openly to our men and offered bribes. And thers we were needing their goods which we had to take, knowing there would be an assumption in ome quarters that because we took them we were bribed. It was damnable. " "Then there was the protest from this country from the shoe manufacturers, for instance be cause we bought shoes in Eng and instead of the United State". If we ! had not the soldiers would have ben barefooted." Mr. Dawes declared that In all his business experience he had never seen any set of men moro devoted to duty or more money hones," than those recruited In wartime. 17 -"1k" i CM COAL BILL IN APPROVA L Former Fuel Administrator Gives Praise to Coal-Regulation I' llMda el ckarchea to amit.

CONSIDERATION IS GIVEN F0RDNEY BILL (Continued from page 1) brought In and then marshaled their forces, defeating It prompt ly. Minority members then sought a unanimous consent agreement fixing a date for a vote on the tariff, only to have one of their own ranks enter ob jection. As it stands, the measure has precedence except from .12 to 2 o'clock. There were bints thrown out. however, that the end was not yet, and that demand for dis placement of the tariff bill by appropriation measures might come at any time, or that an at" tempt to obtain a vote. might be made.

'"I never have been for cloture, for the . gar. If you please, at any time. I am for this bill, but 1 never will be in favor of Invok ing cloture. It penalizes tho?e who speak last. It does not give anybody ,ati opportunity to ex press bis thoughts fully. It Is wrong Jn principle and stands against traditional American free speech." After the vote. Mr. Penrose took up the claims that the tari'f bill would mean the failure nf appropriation bills at this session.
