SALEM'S GREAT STRAWBERRY INDUSTRY ' More strawberries are canned in Salem than in all the i re3t of the states of Oregon, Washington and California I, Marion is the leading strawberry county in Oregon And Polk county is next . And practically all the strawberries of these two coun ;, ties are marketed in Salem, besides quantities from parts of Yamhill Benton, Lina and Clackamas counties. There are two big problems in the strawberry industry here ' First; the hunt for the right varieties Second, the .matter of irrigation. j It i3 likely that the solving of the second problem will go lar in the solving of the first; that is, that the general adop ! ion of irrigation by our strawberry growers wilt bring up ' the varieties already-tried-out here so that they will serve .: all the purposes of strawberry industry as an industry, in ! its various randficat'i$, i . " ( ' . .That seems likelyl'jy ; X: v ; . -''W?rH. Weeks, the strawberry plant king of this district, says h will employ irrigation in all his growing in the;; future. He tried it out withjpuccess last year,;:, j , , s i-i vWtP Allen, the dean of the industry here, and the mant kwhr.has donS more ffrah any other in introducing the Trebla" and .the No; 121 varieties says in his concluding paragraph that'hc believes Irrigation 'will solve the problems of the can- ; ners. Every" one interested at all in this city or this district I should read this concluding paragraph and tha whole of the illuminating article of - Mr. Allen. - - '" ! ; i ' He is no boomer; he points out the pitfalls; and his con 1 ?lusionV are sound. He is no tyro. He knows every angle of i the industry, frcfen experience, attended by bitter los3 as well as smiling success ' Salem Is already the strawberry city of this coast; the Center of , the greatest strawberry industry in the wesern t country-. " -I-" v: , But what has been accomplished is only a marker for i what may be done, by practicing all the be3t methods known , to the industry and which may be found out by experiments. WlthJ the. advantages already gained, Salem ought to become ; ,the greatest strawberry city in the whole wide world, and "thai in the. not distant future; and,' the writer believes this . .winsome topass. .,; : should make the cartons here. All the boxes should be made here. The labels might be made here. The expansion of our great fruit industry will be limited to some extent by the growth of Salem. It will be more and more a question ohelp in harvesting and packing times. The King s people are working 500 or more people now, in dehydrating and canning apples. The Starr cannery is working a considerable-force in canning apples. There is a good deal of other work going on in the fruit concerns. But there will be a considerable season in late January to May in which there will le a j?oxl deal of idleness here. The prudent people of Salem must find a way to avoid any idleness at all, at any season. And this can be done. BITS FOR BREAKFAST Salem is the strawberry city. ' V S Salem canr more Vtrawberries than, the rest of Oregon, "Washing ton and California combined. ..; i - i,: v Did "you realize that Salem uses one-sixth of all Ch I ruit cans In the Pacific nortHest, did yon? Well that's sol There are about sixty millions of cans used for fruit In the Pacific northwest now. And Salem uses about ten : mil lions of them. Eight years about twelve told, in the ago, there were millions used, all northwest. Borne growth, eh? Salem Is- now us'ng nearly as many cans as the whole northwest used for fruit in 1914. And Salem will some sweet day, in the not far distant future, use .as many cans as the whole northwest uses now. To say nothing of car tons and glass containers, etc. If you do not think the Salem slogan work is worth while, stick a few pegs there.

The minstrel man hai been known from almost the beginning of this world's history and was well known by the writers of Bib lical affairs. It is this very characteristic of the minstrel which makes it capable of appeal ing to all classes and when the famous Georgia Minstrels appear at the Grand theater Monday eve ning there will be seen hundreds of people in the theater who are not habitual theatergoers. The Royal Canadian Northwest Mounted, the most dapper police organization in the world, and the most famous, renowned for their gallantry, their valor, their cour age, their traditions and their esprit de corps, have been figured in ng and story times unnum bered, but never has any of their number been placed in a position such as forms the -basis for the picture, "Man's Law and God's." in which Jack Livingstone and Ethel Shannon are featured.

I think 'hard times' parties-are sueh fun. They eeem to go with fall, weather, and doughnuts and pumpkin "pies." She pulled her. bedraggled shawl around her, bringing it down tightly over her head,' blew a kiss to her mother, and started off. She wore an old, red dress, fad ed and patched, torn stockings. and a broken pair of old hiking shoes. As a finishing touch she had drawn some black lines un der her eyes and daubed white powder heavily over her usually rosy cheeks. A blast of cold wind struck her, and she scooted down the street. - Fortunately, she had only two blocks to go, and she was to stop for Anne on the way, so she wouldn't, get very cold. When she came to the corner and started to cross the street, a big closed car swooped down' on her and she stepped back out of the way. The woman driving the car stopped it with a jar, sad something to the fat lady with her. and, to Hazel's, surprise, opened the door and stepped out.' "You .poor, dear child!" she Crted wUh fculverin chins:' "You look half-frozen. Just get right in here and Til take yo , -wherever yon are going." . : Hazel drew back, startled.,-Then she decided, with sparkling eyes, that it. would be sort of a lark to let them drive her up to the party How the girls would laugh when she told them her story! So she looked up at them appealingly and! said, with a little shiver, "Thank you, so much. I'm just going up' For a decade there was no piece so popular on the American stage as "Human Hearts," shown at the Oregon theater.

House Peters played it n this, with Baggoq directing. Edith, Haller and Mary Philbin are the leading women.

She was ashamed to tell them the truth, and there she was wedged in between them, while the party was beginning. Tears gathered in her eyes, while the fat lady gently patted her hand. The party was almost over, when, properly dressed, she ar rived. She told the two ladie3 they needn't come In with her. She'd fix things up.
