FAMINE SUNDAY TO HELP FILL
CHINA'S EMPTY RICE BOWLS
Enured at the Postofflce In Salem. Oregon, as second class matter.
SPINACH INDUSTRY MAY BOOM HERE
.
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.

The dispatches from Washing
ton announced that Mrs. W. P.
Lord of Salem waa before the
ways and means committee of the
house at its meeting last Friday,
when the flax and bemp schedules
were considered, and that she had
an exhibition that made a, favor
able impression on members of
that committee. It Is the fond
prediction of ther Tiita for ttrab.
fast man that there will be a pro
approval of the senate. Senator
Ellis declared the measure bad
particular reference to the Jack
rabbit situation In eastern Ore
gon. The vote was unanimous.
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.
At the outset today Senator
McCumber, Republican. North Da
kota, asked that all Join in agree
ment for a vote February. 15. His
motion was lost.'-' Then the cloi
ture failed. .Senator Simmons,
Democrat, North Carolina, coun
tered the Republican move with
a proposition to vote February 18
and Senator "Penrose tried to pre
vail on his opponent to' set an
earlier date, fearing ' a pocket
veto. Senator Williams, Demo
crat, Mississippi, however, an
nounced be would object to any
unanimous consent.
Senator Townsend. Mlchlean.
Republican, called for consider-'
ation of the postofflce appropri
ation bin and there were demands
for a vote, but the motion met
defeat.
Then followed an hour of de
bate unusual In the senate. Sen
ators clashed in their efforts to
obtain recognition Senator Hi
ram Johnson, Republican. Cali
fornia, launched an attack against,
the cloture and assailed all who
favored It. ,
"It has come that this body Is
the only one In the world where
free spesch. can be bad In un
bribed form he declared. '"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.
He voiced the opinion that "we
shall have " better appropriation
bills If some of them do fall."
When the storm had subsidM.
Senator Gerry, Democrat. Rhode
isiana. began a lengthy discus
sion of the naval building pro
rram. bnt was Interrupted by Mr.
Penrose who inquired what re
lation the subject had to the
tariff. Mr. Gerry explained bis
speech had been .announced sev
eral days ago and he proposed o
deliver it.
The senate recessed so that the
bill would remain as nnfinished
business tomorrow. The house
ways and means committee con
cluded consideration of the wool
schedule in Its work on a perma
nent tariff.
