The National City Bank of New York in a current bulle tin says: "The business situation has been brightened de cidedly by the rise of farm products which has taken place in Vio laar mnntVi " The change carries greater significance, in the opinion. of this authority, than any other development, mai nas oc curred since farm prices touched bottom in 1920 And the statement is true, of course And it should have an effect in dispelling the notion that has been held in some quarters that there is any antagonism between the commercial ana DanKing muresis oi tc and the agricultural interests of the West lions of dollars for their relief. At the present no European govern ment would be able to relieve such a condition within its own terrlr tory. We are glad to inform the pub lic that. the four banks of our city have consented to be the receiv ers of contributions for the Rus sian bread fund. . Other towns and cities about us have long ago completed their campaign. By the first week in April we wish to have shipped our quota of flour. Will you assist us to act quickly? NATHAN SWABB.

SILVERTON NEWS Time was when the "Salem hog" was a term of reproach : But that was in the long ago when short sighted people in Oregon entertained and worked up sectional prejudices, which have no rightful place in this state any more than in the nation. But the "Salem hog" of that day was not a hog at all-; The term referred to the people of Salem, who were made to appear as attempting to "hog" more than their share of the appropriations handed out by the legislature; 4 And there was no such thing; it was a mere taunt. : " The.Sa'em hog of the present time is a real hog; nn hon-est-to-goodnes animal that is adding steadily to the busi ness of the city and to the prosperity of the Salem district. The, Valley Packing Company commenced business in Sa lem year before last That year they packed .9000 hogs. Last "year they packed 14,000. This year they will pack at least 20,000. They are going at the latter pace now. That shows ; groTirth-rV? if o; - ; JW' .. ;' It shows a fine"" spirit of cooperation on the part of the farmers of this district; ; V And the farmers of the Salem district are receiving the highest prices paid in the United States for their hogs, sold to the Valley Packing Company ; , ' ; It is this wav: ' ! . - This company was paying $11.50 a hundred pounds for hogs yesterday. The Portland market was $12. The Chicago market was $10.50. " i .The expenses of getting hogs from the Salem district to the Portland markets is around 75 cents to $1.25 a hundred pounds. So the farmer of the Salem district is in pocket 25 to 75 cents a hundred pounds on account of the fact that the Valley Packing Company Is doing business here. As to the great value of this packing industry to the life of Salem there is no question It helps to center a large vol ume of business here. It employs directly nearly half a nun dred people, and the working, force is steadily growing. There are several articles in the Pep and Progress pages of The Statesman of .this morning giving the advantages of the swine breeding industry in the Willamette valley, and especially of the raising of purebred hogs. Too much cannot be said in favor of this industry, of its steady growth, and of the importance of its further development ' In favor ofmore and better hogs on our farmsr The growing dairying industry in this district is helping, The cow is the wet nurse of pigs as well as people. ; No farm, no fruit ranch, should be without hogs; and the better the hogs the larger the profit; the larger the volume of receipts from ,the use of a given amount of feed and pasture. - "-fP-'-r'. - ' The managers of the Valley Packing Company will not be satisfied with the pacing of 20,000 hogs a year. They will want more. Neither should the farmers and dairymen and f ruit irrdwers of the Salem district be'satisfied with fumish- ing them merely 20,000 a year. They can'double the nunv, ber soon, and more than double. the weight, and add material ly to "the percentage of profit, by the breeding up of their stock and the adoption of the most approved methods. And the value to the farmers will not stop there. Swine 'Ti,7men"o7VTSion in the finaBeU. and - S ,1 w-'SrS n p9fif foaiirp that their prosperity, and the prosperity and well being of the whole country, is depenaent primarily on the welfare of the farmer. He is at the Dase ot tne pyra mid. His prosperity is fundamental, tie must oio iu the nation, or the nation will starve. And he is entitled to have a just recompense for his labors. Neither class rivalry nor sectionalism is beneiitiai 10 any ciass or j the country. WHAT THK FARM MjOC IS TRYING TO DO Eenator Arthur Capper of Kan sas, head of the farm bloc; in the upper house of congress, is out with a statement on what the farm bloc la trying to do. The following are the main points of this very important statement: "To clear away any fog of mis understanding which may remain in regard to the motives, the pur poses, or the actions of the so called farm bloc, it seems well at this time to restate what the bloc stands for and why it stands, exists, at all. ' . ' "The bloc is not a political ad venturer, its purposes are econ omic rather than political. It is FOR things rather than AGAINST them; for harmonizing views, not for creating discord; for co-oper ation, not antagonism; for the city man as well as the country man. The reason for the bloc's existence is a desire to serve the people and the nation in time of need. "Nevertheless" the bloc had to fight for everything it has won It will continue that fight with vigor whenever necessary. It is out to get a square deal for Am erican agriculture and a solid footing through constructive leg islatlon for the American farmer and it intends to achieve that goal. Its fighting spirit will be found unimpaired. "The enactment of construc tive, wholesome, progressive leg islation, in which agriculture oc cupies a leading though not ne cessarily an exclusive position, is the mission of the so-called farm bloc. The bloc is trying so to shape its policies and govern its actions as to bring about a bet ... a. . ter understanoing Deiween au worthy elements of our popula tion. It is working for honest industry, honest, finance, honest commerce, honest agriculture. honest labor, and it wishes to co operate with all cf these. "As the farm bloc is economic rather than .political, it is able to work as a unit with Democrats and Republicans acting together for the common good. The bloc was not organized to create sen atorial or congressional rivalries, but to harmonize the views of the people's representatives in Wash ington on matters fundamentally vital to national prosperity and the comfort and happiness of the American people. "Recognizing that a nation to continue in a sound condition economically, must be in a healthy condition agriculturally, the farm bloc proceeded to try to discover what was wrong with the farming industry and what congress could do to give it a more vigorous life. "The bloc gives full recognition to the truth that the farmers customers have a vital interest in agriculture. Farmers to be prosperous must have economi cally ..healthy customers to deal with. A decaying agriculture means a declining, commerce. It means closed factories, - empty- freight cars, a paralyzed overseas tradqr. The bloc has tried to dr'.ve home the trjth that the city is dependent upon the farm and that agriculture can obtain cus tomers on,ly among those who dwell in cities. "Some of the commentators on the bloc have labored to make it appear that it has raised a bar rier between ruralist and urban ite. The truth I it has removed many of the artificial-barriers money means Cheaper, more abun dant food. It must result in re opening factories and mills which have long been shut down. "The farm bloc is committed to the development of the Muscle Shoals project, to give farmers an abundance of fertilizer. The fer tilizer trust has a very real and menacing existence. A powerful competitor to the trust is needed inis, aiso, is or direct concern to the city dweller who must be supplied with food by the citizen wno makes the soil productive by liberal use of nitrates.''

"I want to skip ropeTVshe announced. 'Where is therea rope I can have?" "There , isn't any," said her mother. "You'll have to remind father to bring you one." Mary Ellen pouted. She went out in front of the house. The boy next door was piaylng mar bles. She must skip the rope. Rack to the basement she went. to the hook where he mother hung the clothesline. Surely her mother wouldn't miss a piece long enough to make a skipping rope A few minutes later Mary Ellen was skipping down the street.. "Mary Ellen!" called her moth er. Come here this minute! You cut off a piece of clothesline with. out' asking me, and I, wanted 'to hang up some blankets, and the iine won't reach across the room. Just for that, young lady, you can take this pall and broom and scrub the walk clear around to the front tor'.me. Mary Ellen hung her head and started to work. It wasn't nearly is warm as she had thought. The wind - was getting .: colder. She worked as fast as she could, but her fingers were numb when she bad finished. She took her pail rid broom and started toward the back. The freshly scrubbed walk had become icy. A gust of wind ame along.

It is giant searchlight which shines with a light of 1,200 million can dle power. No other searchlight has been made with so large a lens, which is sixty inches across. The United States government is planning to make others. like it to be placed along the coast and used for coast defense.. Before this new light was built the brilliant light ot the Heligo land lighthouse, in the North Sea, was looked upon as a wonder of the world. , Its light could be seen by ships 25 miles away. It con slsted of three electric search lights and the expense ot keeping it up was enormous. The Heligo land light is now quite "in the shade," however, for the new light is thirty times as powerful. Perhaps you did not know that one candle-power, which is the standard for testing brilliance of light, is the light of a sperm-oil candle seven-eighths of an inch in diameter, weighing six to the pound, and burning 120 grams of wax in an hour.; How the early settlers, who did their reading by candlelight, would be startled if they saw the Atlantic coast searchlight. They would think it was a new sun. ; answer of the grocer, as he point ed to a large and nearly empty sack in the corner. "Ain't sent it off cause it ain't anywhere near full yet."

If anv mat wr is rejected here the clubs may b relieved of further concern. I said matter is endorsee and hand ed down, each club, by virtue of Its membership in the federation ts under obligation to give the matter its careful consideration even though it does not see fit to endorse it. At the last meeting of the fed eration, unanimous endorsement wis given to the matter of Rus sian relief. The chairman of the evening made request of the rep resentatives present that th chairman of the local committee be invited to present the matter in person to each of the clubs. Al though many of the clubs hav not as yet responded to this re quest, we trust that according to the decision of the federation, all have had of very Foon will have, some presentation of the matter There are many secret and ben evolent societies in Salem and thp vicinity which are not represented in the federation.
