SALEM AS THE CRUDE COUNTRY A good deal of water has the matter of the crude drug Statesman a year ago , I For instance, there has come a boom in the mint indus try, since it has been so well established that our district can raise the highest quality mint in the world; yielding the largest menthol content; producing the most pounds to the acre; refining the highest quality of peppermint oil known; setting at a high premium over any other. j These are certainly distinctive advantages that must cause the present activity in the industry to continue indef initely. The Oregon Mint Growers Cooperative Association is how organized and active, and this association has in con templation, the putting up of a refinery, in order to better standardize the quality of the Oregon product And, by all means, Salem should have this refinery, and car) get it with the right kind of interest and activity. That would fix Salem as the center of the coming great American mint industry. So much for mint. In cascara sagrada, the pioneers, Salem has long been the market center. This lead will be maintained if the owners of the cheap lands in the out of the way districts will plant the trees, which we must . - , m a a mm - .... come to, ana wmcn.is now being done in British Columbia. And then there should be one of our farms. Prof. A- Ziefle. dean of th School nf Phr. m&ky of the Oregon Agricultural College, says this district can produce crude drugs at one-tenth the expense and twice the; yield that they can be in Michigan and Minnesota. That is abroad and most encouraging statement. The great crude drug gardens of this country are in those states. , fProf. iefle has for several years recommended the es tablishment of a drug garden at the College, and this will no doubt be done, and by all means ought to be done, in order to show defiifitely to our farmers what a great resource they havja; what new money crops they might raise, in furnishing the trade with its crude drugs. '.- We should, more and more, do the things and raise the thinga we can do and raise best; better than other countries or sections . ; ; j And crude drugs are undoubtedly in this class, and there for too much cannot be said, nor too much done, towards pus lirig this coming great industry, with Salem its market ing and-manufacturing and merchandising and shipping center.

DRUG CENTER OF THE run down the Willamette since garden was broached by the "sacred bark" of the Spanish a crude drug garden on every a commission form of government for Salem: or. more specifically a corporation form of government He made it very plain that a form of government like that which manages a great corporation, with president and board of directors would give much greater effici ency and economy than the pres ent way. While we have been doing very well as a municipality this is no argument that we should not strive to do still better. S S Don't get the idea that we are to have no Italian prunes the com ing season. We always have a scare or two along about this time of the year -but we always har vest a crop of prunes, large or small in proportion to our acre age. Why don't the allies appoint some real, up-to-date American profiteer to collect that indemnity from Germany? STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON olcott mowed TO Betterment Fund May Be Applied to Flax Payroll, Says Opinion After maintenance of convicts and a reasonable support of their dependents has been taken care of it is le"al tov the state to hp money from the state prison bet terment tund to anply to the pay roll of the flax industry at the penitentiary, according to an opin ion of Attorney flenpral Van Win kle, in reply to an inquiry by Governor Olcott. The attorney general holds that J this is proper under chapter 275, ! laws of 19.' 1, and under statutes enacted at previous sessions. The act of 1921 reads: "The governor of the state is hereby authorized and empowered to make surh rules and regula tions as he may deem necessary providing for the disposition of Moneys earned by any convict or convicts employed in any indus try at the Oregon state penitenti ary: provided, however. that such moneys shall be applied first toward the cost of maintenance cf such convict or convicts; sec ond, toward the reasonable sup port of any dependent or depen dents of said convict or convicts who may in the opinion of the warden of the penitentiary or the governor be entitled to such support. In the event any sur plus remains from the sale of the product of the labor of such con vict or convicts after the expense of his maintenance and the reas onable support of his dependent or dependent is provided for. such surplus shall become a part of the betterment fund of said penitentiary."

Adv. Soul PREFER Queens of Beauty Mount Dancing White Horses And Sing Grand Opera In days of yore, the "tired business man" was prone to oc cupy a seat In the front row at the snappiest and most daring comedy the Al G. Barnes circus, for be it known the former singing and dancing queens have mounted horses and invaded the white tops. This new departure is said to have been started by the Barnes big four-r.ng wild animal circus which comes to Salem May 7. As described by a Barnes rep resentative, it is an operatic chorus of 40 Rirls of noticeable pulchritude. 16 of them beauties and the other 24 not at all hard on the eyes; clad in costumes that cost Barnes many dollars, but containing about as much filmy material as one-piece bathins suits. They are mounted on 40 horses that dance while the girls sing grand opera, led by Miss Bes sie Harvey, the original prima donna of the circus. This operatic esquestrienne extravaganza occu pies a fcont line of 440 feet, and during its rendition, thousands of love birds descend on the fair choristers. And then, for var eties sake, sea-lions play ball while a chim panzie umpires the game, camels Jiggle wolves from their humps, while girls wrestle tigers and men fight grizzly bears.
