THE WEALTHIEST PEOPLE The great English economist. Alfred Marshall, in sDeak- ing of wealth, says: "Other has more wealth in its broadest sense than another, if the place in which the former lives, has a better climate, better roads,, better water, more wholesome drainage ; and again better newspapers, books and places of amusement and in struction. ' J j - - Judging by the above standards the residents of Salem : -are among the wealthiest in lout, our climate is the best; There is no city of Salem s size any where with as many miles of paved streets; no district of equal population with as many miles of paved highways as are found in the Salem district ; either built, being built or projected. Salem's water supply is adequate and pure. The drainage here is perfect. The situation lends itself to perfect drainage. Our public library is well stocked with books, with a high percentage of circu lation; and we have here the great state library, supreme court library, Willamette University library,' and others. We have a large number of places of amusement; good theaters, fine, public playgrounds, public band concerts in a beautiful avenue, country club, and many others. r i ; I We have a public school system and facilities com, parable with "the best; and our people have provided by a vote of $500,000 of bonds to keep adding to the facilities as demanded by the growth, of population. We have a great university and many private schools, musical and other. We will have more public parks in time. We will have museums. Education started for the whole Pacific Northwest in Salem. It has radiated from here. Salem will become one of the wealthiest cities of her population in the whole world, but thia will be one of the most beautiful of all cities, and one of the most highly cultured. . i - A r I 11 .

With some wire and seal ing wax - you can ; make these bracelets in : all the colors of the ralbow, or j in combinations f colors o m atch .y ou r d resses. The best part, about them is , that they are more comfortable to wear than metal Jjewelry In hot weath er. ' ; .' 1 To make a bracelet make a cir cle of wire J large enough to slip very easily over your hand. Hook the ends together and pinch flat with pliers. Now heat a stick of sealing wax; over a flame and drop on the wire until it is com pletely covered and thick enough to cover over the joining smooth ly. Hold the bracelet! over the flame and twist and turn it whiia being nice to them, tod. I scour their necks and . ears till they shine, but! somehow they don't seem to appreciate it. ' v "My friend, Kayka Soap, does not seem to be very popular among the fellows, either. But he doesn't mind it like I do. He hasn't the friendly disposition and sensitive nature that I have. I just can't bear not to be liked." More tears dripped off the edge of the washrag - and: formed a little pool ion the floor. "Here come the boys jiow!" The washrag suddenly straight ened up and tried to dry his many eyes. "Just watch them! They'll go right past - me with never so much as a glance in my direc tion. Ohj I do wish i could do something to make them like me. It must be great ta be liked by the fellows." ' ' , But the washrag had a surprise In store: for them. The boys stopped right In front of him. "It would work If we could only insulate the wire," Harold declared. H ' j t "What under the eun does he mean by;! that?" wondered the washrag. "I never heard the word before. Wonder. If U's Latin or Greek. I wish I knew, then may be I could help." "Well, all we need then Is a rag to wrap around, the wire," from the standpoint of modesty, admitting, however, that there is vast room and high ambition for improvement but inviting comparison with: any newspaper published any where in a city, and field of the same size. BEAUTY AND STRENGTH Sir William Orpen, the famous English portrait painter, maintains a low opinion of the pulchritude of women. Those of former ages, he states, were lovely enough; but the pres ent generation; is much less beautiful, and what attractions the girls possess are constantly diminishing. He even goes so far as to state that he has never seen a truly beautiful woman, one entirely free from imperfection, which is a most ungallant remark. He blames the automobile. The use of this is respons ible for the "bony shoulders and skinny legs" that the painter particularly objects to. His criticism has aroused the ire of Chicago artists and clubwomen, who have issued a defi to the renowned painter whose especial talent appears to be walking on the toes of his own countrymen and the nationals of other lands as well. If the artist wants to see some exquisite women, the Chicagoans aver, just let' him visit the Windy City and be prostrated before beauty's shrine there. Should he come to Salem, however, a real treat would be in store for him. Joaquin Miller, who had an artistic eye as well as poetic genius, said the women of western Oregon are the most beautiful in the world and especially that they have the most beautiful complexions ; on account of the ab sence of alkali and our freedom from the extremes of glaring summer heat and biting winter cold; and for other reasons connected with our mild, soft climate the qualities in our climate that develop the tulip to even greater perfection than it may attain in Holland. ? And the use of the automobile here in no way curtails the development of the strength that the artist so much adjnires. Our main roads are paved. Even our outlying market towns are connected or are being connected by paved county market roads, and the paved state highways lead to the larger cities all up and down the coast. Wehave many women who drive automobiles, and they average' well in point of pulchritude, even from the standpoints of the knighted portrait painter, with their sisters who do not thread the traffic congested streets and main arteries of travel or glide over the less frequented highways and byways with their cars pr go bumping abroad with their flivvers. . , , Sir William is invited to come to Salem. This is the city of welcome. ; Petaluma, CaL, sells 17 mil lions ' of poultry product's annu ally. Salem has to go some, but she will one day sell more.

If you find that too much wax has been applied and the bracelet is too thick.1 heat the wax a little more and let a few drops run off. The bracelet should not be more than half-inch thick. If you haven't enough differ ent colors of wax to suit, you can blend several colors In one brace let. To do this cover the wire with one color and hold it over the flame until It iu smooth. Cool it by dipping in cold water, and dry thoroughly. ; With a stick of wax of aj contrasting color put small dots here and there along the circle. Hold it over the flame and twist until the two colors melt enough to bled together.v Pretty color combinations are red and blue, black and sliver, and pale yellow and green. Max said, "but I'm sure I don't know where we can get one." The washrag "pricked up his corners and listened. They want ed a rag. j As usual they had for gotten all about himv j If he could only get j their attention some how. He! racked his stitches, but couldn't think of a single way, "If I were only a good slider like Kayka Soap." he thought, "or if I could only bounce like Rubber Sponge. But I can't do a thing, but weep."- The washrag drew himself up prepared to weep harder than ever at thin new cal amity whensuddenly he slipped off the edue of the? bowl and landed. Plop! I right at I the feet of the; boys. "Why. here's the wafihrag." Harold cried. "Let's use it. , It's the very thing. Funny we didn't think or j it before. They grab bed their old enemy from the floor with enthusiasm J At last the washrag had come into his own. . i i 1 girla in Salem? The Salem Cham ber of Commerce wants to send two of - them to Petaluma. See Slogan pages tomorrow. The quality of the flax crop Is fine. It will make great twine, and it is to be hoped that the .spinning period In the Industry may be reached before all the fiber Is disposed of. The Salem Commercial club and the Statesman are looking for the THREE PRETTIEST GIRLS in Salem or the Salem district. Preferably the daugh ters of poultrymen. But any girl will do, if she is pretty. And what Salem girl is not? They are to be entered in the contest for Queen of Poultry Day at the Pet aluma, Cal., poultry fair. The judging is to be on protographS. ! There is to be no voting. Each candidate must submit two photo graphs, one front" view or three quarters and the other a distinct profile, giving weight', height and complexion. The protographs must be in the hands of the sec retary of the Salem Chamber of Commerce by Saturday, August 4. The judging will be on August 9th, in San Francisco, from the photo graphs. The winner i will ' be Queen of Egg Day at Petaluma, and she will have all her expenses paid, including costume. So will her chaperon. If a Salem girl wins, she , may choose whom 'she pleases for chaperon. This will be a chance to advertise Salem as the poultry center of Oregon, which it is, but she must hustle to keep the place. There will-be a lot' more information about this contest, in the Slogan pages of to morrow. The above Is a mere outline. Salem has the prettiest girls on earth. Let's send two of them to Petaluma, where they will be entertained royally, with out a cent of expense, and let ' us thus get Salem further onto- the map of all poultrydom the world over as the center of the poultry industry. Let's get along the way towards being the Petaluma of Oregon plus. j THE FALSE, ALARM One of the leading railroad of ficials of the country demon strates that the cost' of making a complete survey of the valua tion of the railway systems of the country has exceded $85, 000.000. Of this the government has paid $23.00.000. while the roads have contributed $62,000. 000. Senator LaFoIlette was res ponsible for the valuation act and he solemnly assured Congress at the time of its adoption that all the railways of the nation could be valued at a cost of not exceeding $2,400,000. It was his idea that the -valuation would show that the American railways were overcapitalized and were paying dividends on watered stock. He promised that an of- FUTURE DATES Jul . 25, Wednesday Annual Wisconaio i pirnl-. fair gtmnH. ; July 2. Saturday Printers anH pah- lUhtTH of h Willamette Taller' picnic SiWerton t'itr park.

Now It turns out that the people have paid $85,000,000 to find .out that the lines are not overvalued.; that they are, in fact', worth much more than their cap italization, and that they cannot be replaced for anything like their bonding charges. Most . of Senator LaFollette's political cap ital comes from his capacity for baiting corporations. It doth now appear that' he is not only un just, but grievously in error. On top of that It further appears that Americans have paid ' $85, 000,000 in money merely to prove that he was wrong. This is en tirely unnecessary. It should be taken for granted. That Senator LaFolette Is wrong Is further em phasized that he now refuses to accept the findings of his own commlsioners. He is not even a good sport It is hardly worth $85,000,000 to disclose this frail ty. That had also been suspected. 'COMMUNIST PRESS FAILS A prominent Moscow Bolshevik gloomily remarks that "we have no press; all we have is an elabor ate machinery for spoiling paper." The educated classes not only re fused to write for the papers, but even to read them. And their ex treme dullness finally palled on even the rank and file ,ot the Reds, who became weary of per using nothing but highly colored propaganda when they were In search of news. They are so poor .and crude, he complains, that they are beneath criticism.. Nothing but selected Commun ist news can be printed in them. One. large - dally! enthralled its readers with character sketches of factory directors written by the. workmen, many j of whom had only recently acquired a working knowledge of the intricacies of Russian ! grammar. 'Snappy sketches of Communist doings in the villages, written by the local wit, haS to be abandoned because so many of the j correspondents were . murdered, 'from which we may judge, how ! atrocious were their efforts. The; Pravda lost two of its choicest raconteurs in this fashion. . ' The leaders of , the Communist government have come to the conclusion that - a : singletrack newspaper is not a success. People do not read it for the purpose of gleaning further news of a political program with which they are already painfully' familiar, but to learn something of ' the world's news and the latest scand als. But the radical element-will not permit information of the cap italistic world to be printed, un less presenting an unpleasant pic ture of existence there. So the press is-expiring, unwanted and unread by the very, people who uphold the Communist doctrine. NATURJ3 FIX5IS The largest theater in New York is just now running a pro gram of three pictures In none of which the human actors dominate the story. All the films are for eign1 as the bouse seems to have a grudge against Hollywood this month. J One of the plays is baa ed upon a ski race In the Alps and is' a fox-and-hounds affair. Another is a film of English bird life called "The Cockoo's Secret" and is the life story of a, lazy and selfish bird. The third Is called "Ivan the Great" and is the story of a huge brown bear. All the plays are full of action and also furnteh! much interesting scenery. The program Is attracting crowds and is said to furnish a touch of excitement for ail classes' of spec tators.;' In Europe they have made more progress than we have In this country in the matter of making films without the use , of high-priced actors. ; The salary tit for-the performer In these pic tures would not exceed $100 a week. ; Some of these $2000 birds of paradise are not asr esenUal to the movie game as they would have us believe:. I ; j. STILL LOSING ; Almost everybody went broke on the Dempsey fight , except Dempsey and Jack Kearn. Some of the spectators at Shelby got hold of about 3000 pairs of opera and field glasses which were to be Bold or rented to those who could not get seats near the ring side. ' The crowd was so small and the final admission rates so cheap that everybody In town got to e.e the fight from a coign of vantage. Nobody had any use for the magnified! peepers. The town is stocked up with opera glasses for- 20,000 years ahead. , THE INCOGNITO . Thei Prince of Wales is going rn visit' Canada thai fall, but! is coming over as a privte citiien.

The case was an injunction proceeding to prevent the secretary of state from col lecting the gasoline tax. j' It involved the legislative acts of 1919 and 1921, the former im posing a. general tax 'of one cent a gallon on gasoline and one-half cent on distillate, and the latter imposing an additional one rent tax on gasoline used In motor ve hicles operated on the public roads. The case was instituted prior to the legislative act of 1923 which again Imposed an ad ditional one-cent tax on gasoline in the same manner as the act of 1921. Had the injunction been upheld, however, it would have applied to the act of 1923. In the opinion the court cites the fact that "it Is a general rule that in the absence of a consti tutional Inhibition the. right to make reasonable exemptions from taxation rests with fueTegisIature but where there is a doubt In re gard to a statute attempting to make an exception, the uncertain ty will be resolved In favor of the state (and against the exemption." The court concludes "that the statutes in question do not pro vide for. levying the tax upon the municipalities of the state, hut against the seller or dealer prior to the purchase of the gasoline made by the city."

Kidney and bladder irritation often result from acidity, says' a noted authority. The kidneys help filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the blad der, where it may remain to Irri tate, and inflame, causing a burn ing, scalding sensation, or set ting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times dur ing the night. The sufferer is In constant dread; the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensa tion and is very profuse; again; there is difficulty in voiding It. Bladder . weakness, most folks call it because they can't control urination. While it Is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is often one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Begin drinklnK lots of soft watr. also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful In a glass of "water before breakfast. Con tinue this for two or three days. This will help neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer are a source of Irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normal again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, and Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithla and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary dis orera caused 4y acid irritation, .lad Salts causes no bad effects whatever. ' , Here you1 have ( a pleasant, ef fcrvewcent lit ttia-water - drink, which may quickly relieve your bladder Irritation. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year.

MAKES GOOD PREACHER Rev. M. E. Lewis Thrills Au diences at Fair Grounds With Messages The annual camp meeting ' of the Marion County Holiness asso ciation which. began last week In the state fair grounds has grown in interest and attendance 'each day. The crowds 1 of ; Sunday were large and taxed the seating capacity of the large tabernacle on the grounds. Rev. Mt E. Lewis the "engineer evhngellst" has given some pow erful sermons, which are enjoyed by the large congrega t i o n s which greet him from time to time.) Sunday morning he gave his great message on the "super Heater" the type of engine known among railroad men aa the hun dred per cent engine He made many telling' applications of this truth in saying that it Is the hun dred : per cent Christian who Is needed in the world today. In the afternoon Mrs. Lewis spoke to the congregation. She is a forceful speaker and her mes sage was well received. At the close of 'her strong appeal a large number came forward to the al tar. In th evening- Rev. . Mr, Lewis gave another of his char acteristic sermons on the subject . "A Successful Run; Getting In to the Central Station on Time." He described a trip that he made at the request of the railroad of ficials In taking a special train from Terra Haute, Ind. to the Central station In Chicago, a rec ord run." This message sparkled with truth end fairly swept the congregation off its, feet as he de scribed the successful run, reach ing the grand Central station three minutes ahead of time and was congratulated personally by the general superintendent and other big officials of the road. The meetings will continue all this ; week. There Is preaching each morning at 10:30 and In the afternoon at 2:30 and "In the eve ning at 7t30. The number of tents on the grounds Is Increas ing.

Phoenix Mayor Pays Dues to Club Here " .- ''..'. Peter Carpsteln. lumberman and former mayor of "tyioenlx. Ariz., is In Salem looking after his farm interests south of town. b" He has 200-acre farm at Sunnnystde with which he Is so well pleased that he plans to keep and improve it. He dropped into the Chamber f Commerce with his check for x year's active membership In the 'lub, with the remark that every body who is benefited by these boosting organizations ought to help sustain- them, and he was jlad to do his part. He is said to be. the farthest off member on the whole list of members. Mr. Carpstein tells an Inter esting story of the ebb and flow of the cotton business In Arizona. They started In to raise the Egyp tian long-staple cotton, for the manufacture of automobile tires, and for. a while they were on the top of the financial world, when cotton was worth a dollar a pound and they couldn't get banks big enough to hold all , their money. The slump came, when cotton fell to 50 and 52 cents a pound, and they have had a difficult enough time to adjust bills payable and habits to the new prices. But the cotton, is now coming back, so that they are faring better, and they look for a .cycle of better times after the great deflation.- . Bill Hunt and Jackson Fight Draw in Portland . Bill Hunt, who is - well known in fistic circles in Salem as , a heavyweight boxer, appeared in a stx-round 'contest - In Portland Friday night against Young Peter Jackson, colored battler of Port land. The two fought In Salem last winter. Hunt winning the de cision by a narrow margin. In this second match, the referee de clared the bout a draw. Jackson shed his ring name and appeared under what Is said to be his right ful monicker," Chester Dupree and Hunt appeared under the warlike name of Billy O'Leary; Hunt made one bad start In Portland last fall when" he met' a ringer ptigil Bt from back in Ohio, and the Imported slugger- beat him to the start but he has come back and showed the Portlandera some of the gamest sparring the ybave seen. . l .-. : ; - It is claimed by scientists that the cucumber Is. the oldest known vegetable.

And the sturdy old man said something like this: "There werecowards and slack ers ' and lasy-bones who told ns we'd never keep the Union to gether; bat we did and I've lived under the old flag for 60 years since the last shot was fired. Thg man who won't do something for the future that he'd like to hivs enjoyed himself, is a scoundrel and - not worthy to live in rrea America.

"What's the use of working like a slave for some easy mark In the future to enjoy It?" "I'm living in the. future that my fathers made for me," said the- warrior. "They won thlJ country from the wilderness, and they built a better government than anybody ever had on earth before, their " time. I'd be at much of a coward and a cad as some others I know if I didn't look for the good of the nexf gen eration as they did for me," and he went on planting walnuts and figuring up the years that it will take them to come Into bearing.

Employment Bureau Puts j Many Men on Local 'Jobs i According to the federal em ployment bureau, the local brancv of which Is with the Salem YMCJ the bureau is placing, a large number of workers In a numbei of lines of work. The demand exceeds the suppll for straight ranch work, and alss for logging. There are too many vacant place in these two import ant Industries, and a few more applicants would be welcome. There is a surplus of female labor because of the short run in the loganberry picking and canning, which Is about the only Important Industry rer this season of the year. A good many short jobs have been picked up In and ar ound Salem, and these have been generally filled. Flax pulling promises to call for more men than have been re gistered for such employment.. Some new flax-pulling machines are to be set to work the first of the week, and If they work satisfactorily., the . crop will be handled without difficulty. But the flax fields promise to give jobs- for a large number of. men, with . or without the machines. The flax business Is the one big-' gest. surest crop of the year in the Willamette valley, and it' Is calling for the largest number of men. -:; The report is turned In by Em ployment Director Phillips.
