Last year the canneries of Salem put tip 83 per cent of the Scanned strawberry pack of the entire Pacific Northwest. They fcut' up 60,000 cases of strawberries; 1,440,000 cans of straw berries - - And this did not include the strawberries shipped in bar rels, prepared for the markets in other forms, or marketed in the Afresh state. ' : 1 The figures have pot yet been made up for the present year r - $ ' But there is ample information contained in this issue of .The I Statesman to show that the strawberry industry in this district will persist; that it will grow. It is a very important thing at this time to have such a "review of the industry, as jf given in the Slogan pages And why! ; -"O - Because there have been some misgivings about disappoint ments concerning some of the -new varieties; especially the 'sEttersurgl2Ivariet I lj ,, And there has been a search for improved varieties. 5 ; But a reading of the interview with County Fruit Inspector iVan Trump, and of the various letters from correspondents Answering' the; questionnaire, will be reassuring.' A large num bcr of letters were sent out to growers, asking for articles, and bnly a few responded; but those few have given a very good review of the conditions as they now exist. Both the Ettersburg 121 and the Trebla have their friends; Jand this review will have a tendency to consign them to their .proper places in the industry . ; t j 4 And the never ending search for still better varieties will go on. It should go on. Earl Pearcy suggests that Salem ought Jto have a branch experiment station for the purpose of solving the pollination and varietal problems, for strawberries and other Ismail fruits. He says branch stations at Hood River and Med--ford are provided to assist the apple and pear men, and the "great berry industry is entitled to state aid in developing and solving its vital problems. . " , . j . 5 a This is timely. This help ought by all means to be provided, and the work might cover a very wide range here, the center sf a great fruit industry, including besides strawberries the various bush and, tree fruits and nuts, and not merely one or t wo kinds. '. ' i '' ' The Oregon Agricultural, college ought by all means to be i brought more actively and persistently, into the search for im fproved strawberry varieties, adapted to our conditions: & In the mean time K M. Bailey, writing in the Slogan col-,-jmns, reports what he thinks is a very important find in an 'improved varietyof rawiicrries--nr accidental find; This ts well worth watching! ' There are many cases of this kind. The Hoganberry is due to a chance find of Judge Logan. The seed less orange cmes from & chance find of an American mission ary in South America. t 1 1 I f Irrigation is bound fo play an increasingly important part ln our strawberry industry. J v i :t ? ' There is great progress being made by our plant growers, "Weeks & Pearmine. They are wide awake, and they are only i beginning in their big development work. 1 4 VThis issue of T,he Statesman will help to' get' the strawberry industry out of the dumps. It will go on with a wider vision; with a clearej;. track ahead. . .. . - '. ,i t One thing the Slogap editor would like to say: He does riot object to work; but there ought to be better cooperation on the part of the men engaged in the various industries. When . you are invited to write, that is your'duty. It-is an important duty. It is your industry. These Slogan issues are for your good, as well as for the general good 1 Do your bit. Do as well as the walnut and filbert men did.

' The Telegram places' the "pork , barrel" idea foremost In public affairs and seems to think that the people of any city or county receiving state appropriations should obey orders rom the powers that control the state's big city, and have no right to think for themselves and vote their honest convictions. That appraises the Inalienable right of suffrage at a very. low valuation. Neither-does it; take into consid eration! the fact that the state uni versity is not the property of Lane county nor the agricultural college of Henton county. These institu tions belong to the people of Ore gon and their location 1 in any par ticular county should never be a matter of discussion, their value to the state at large being the only consideration that should ever be put up to the taxpayers. They are worthy of public support or they should not receive the ap propriations necessary to maintain them. To call into question the verdict of the-people of Lane and Denton counties at the polls in any election, whether on candidates for office or questions of publie pol icy like the Income tax. Is con temptible. It hr equivalent to say Ins: that the peoy1 of these -counties hare sold their right of. fret? expression of opinion for a price measured by the appropriations re ceived by these schools, and an editdr who places the responsi bilities and duties of citizenship on a plane so low is not fit to,be the spokesman for the people of Portland or any other community. -EvEene Guard. LL . A WICKED PEOPLE Russia Is in a bad way, but it ia wallowing in Us iniquity. It is reaching its slimy hands to Ameri ca and trying to take over the property of the Russian Orthodox church. . There is going to be a great fight, and it is one in which the public should take keen Inter est. Archbishop John Kedrovsky is an American citizen, and he has been placed in charge of all the churches by the soviet government. The American churches have re fused to obey the order from red Russia and say they will be independent henceforth. Russia threatens to send two red bishops, four red archbishops and forty red priests. This will displace loyal men now here. . The three American. bishops and all but 30 of the 300 priests, are loyal to America and will resist Russian red influence. They may need a lot of help. PIXCHOT AXD COAL Governor Pinchot evidently be lieves that he walked into what his friends claim was a trap, in the coal situation. He settled the coal strike all right enough, lie certainly did that. But he settled it by raising the price of coal. , Governor Pinchot now proposes a convention of governors to lower the, price of coal. He hoisted it, but he wants help to pull it down. THE PRICE OP GASOLINE The governor of South Dakota is at it again. He is trying to re duce the price of gasoline. This time he has made a cut of one cent. That is something like It. The other time he made a straight cut of six cents a gallon, which was so unfair it could not be sus tained. If he stays level-headed be can do a world of good. Strength to his purpose. - A NEW ISSUE A new issue has grown up in the state of Washington. Several companies there want to sell hydro electric power, but cannot under the law. Until the law is changed the people will have to pay what is demanded or do without elec tricity. And yet we were only told last week that Washington was a model state and that Oregon was taking its last step to ruin. THE VIGILANTES Word comes from Washington that after several month's of quiet effort a new society has been formed called the Vigilantees. It has a lot of high sounding princi ples, but its object Is to fight the K. K. K. We fail to find any ob jection to the K. K. K. that fails to lodge against the Vigilantees. They will not get anywhere. TAX REDUCTION Secretary Mellon is out with a demand for tax reduction, and he is backed by the president, who is saturated with New England thrift. He expects something to be done. America must live not only within its income, but in a manner to enable it to pay ! its debts. We are expecting much from this effort. Mellon never goes off half-cocked. s I ' THE APOLLO CLUB Certainly Salem has every reas on to be proud of its Apollo club. The concert was splendid, but the finest part of it is that we have such an Institution here at home. Salem needs this. It is one of our splendid assets, and we trust it will continue in popular favor. Our old friend, the straw vote, got its worst plunk in the income tax election. Straw votes were taken everywhere and the vote was 100 to 1 against it. Galli-Curci charges commercial ization in the Chicago grand opera.

"That'll be splendid." Mr. Cos grove gave a relieved sigh. : "I'll get the bait dug this afternoon. How many are going?" "Just as many as wish." Dicky declared . generously. "That boat of mine is like one of those old telescopes they used to pack cloth ing in there's always room for someone extra." "Well, let's see." Mr. Cosgrove was radiantly contemplative. His delight in the proposed expedition was patent to everyone. "You and Mrs. Graham, Miss Dean, that's three. How about you. Bob?" addressing Robert Savarin. "Do you think you could stand such a trip?" the artist asked the question of Lillian, in lieu of an answer. She Bhook her head. "I'm afraid not, Robert, but that need not " "Count me out," Robert said decisively, and Pa Cosgrove turn ed to his wife, his eyes'twinkling. "How about it. Mother?" he asked. "Will you go fishing with us?" ' ' "I think I'll manage, to struggle along tonight without, going," she rejoined a bit tartly. "Then that makes six of us," her husband went on seemingly undismayed, "for the twins and me will sure be on the job. Now remember, you want to put on something oldand warm, woolen stockings and sneakers, and take a sweater apiece along, for It gets mighty cool down there on those stones toward morning." "Are you permitted to fish from the dam at night?" Lillian asked. "I thought " Mr. Cosgrove put his finger to his lips and drew down his left eyelid in a prodigious wink. "Hs-sh!" he said. "Don't ask any questions, then you won't know anything if any inquisitive person should ask you anything But don't any of you worry. I'll take all the responsibility." f! "I shall have to go somewhere and buy some sneakers."" Tteds Dean said, calmly Ignoring the fact that I, because she had ruin ed mine, would have the same er rand. "Who's going to volunteer to chauff me to the nearest shoe store, and tell me where it is?" ' , "Why, Madge Jias " Dicky be gan with usual "masculine blind ness, but I happened to be sitting near enough to him enable me to plant a wifely kick upon his ankle, and with a wince he dropped the dangerous subject. I knew that for him to blurt out as I feared he would that I had a pair of sneakers too large for me in my trunk which she could have, would pitch so much fat into the fire that the ensuing blaze might not be subduable. " "Why can't you run Bess over to Phoenicia, Dicky?" " I asked sweetly. "There's a shoe store there. And you can get me a pair while you're about it. I'll give you the size before you go." t "Delighted, I'm sure," Dicky said perfunctorily. But I caught a vindictive glance out of the cor ner of his eye. and knew that he was anything but pleased with his assignment. Dicky's Story. s : I wondered if I had hit upon an infallible recipe for t preventing Dicky from philandering with at tractive girls. Was it only nec essary for me to urge his attention to any woman whom I subtly .dis liked or . feared, in order to have him find her society irksome? - The day drifted lazily by as au tumn days in the mountains do, and in the afternoon Dicky duti fully escorted Bess Dean on. the HEAL YQUR SKIM Broken Out Skin ttnri Itching Eczema Helped Over Night For unsightly skin " eruptions, rash or blotches on face, neck, arm or body, you do not have to wait for relief from torture or embarrassment, declares a noted skin specialist.

When we were alone, he tossed me Ihe par cel and explained the . grin. "That damsel is certainly foxy," he said. "When she buys her sneakers, , she says carelessly to me, says she: " 'Just give me Madge's size and I'll , get them with mine. 1 owe her a pair,' says she.

' " 'AH right I sdys, but when she comes out with the sneakers all wrapped up, I smells a mouse, and I takes 'em and carelessly un wraps 'em. ""By your leave,' I says. 'It just struck me that I gave you the wrong size for Madge's sneakers. Yes, by Jove, I thought so. We'll have to change 'em. Hers are" two sizes smaller than these.' "She was boiling inside, but she had to smile sweetly, and let me change 'em. You see the point, don't you?". "That she herself " I queried. "Exactly," he interrupted. "I gave her the right size, but she switched to the bigger size. . But she'll have to get up earlier than even daylight-saving time before she puts anything over on your Uncle Dudley." - (To be continued) I BITS FOR BREAKFAST ! j The'strawberry mark Salem has it and proposes to keep it. V Salem Is going to be a bigger center of better strawberries.. "b Tro years ago Salem was using a sixth of all the cans used in the Pacific northwest iu canning fruit. A year ago Salem was using more than a - fourth. The proportion has probably grown in Salem's favor this year; if not, it will In the years to follow. If you do not think the Salem Slogan work is worth while, and getting actual and large results, stick a few pegs there. S With Salem district brains and Salem district soil and sunshine, this city is going to raise enough strawberries to furnish the filling for strawberry shortcake to go clear around the earth. : ' fSome day, we will have to have, a city of 100, 00Q people, to fur nish the necessary hullers for our strawberries; and it will take the hull lot of them who can be spared ror that work. V Salem is using more cans for putting up fruit than the . whole Pacific northwest used eight years ago. Some expansion. And still only started. A Salem' concern is getting ready to pack and ship 2,000,000 strawberry plants, and the. same number of asparagus plants. And this is only a fair beginning. Big developments are, ahead in that line here. Oregon strawberry plants will make vines that will last a year or two years longer in the Cali fornia strawberry districts.

Heat Conductors Nearly all the articles in a bouse away from the stove, the refrigerator, and people, are at practically the same temperature, yet you will be surprised to find that r some feel much cooler to your hand than others. If you step barefooted on a tile floor on a cold morning you very likely hop quickly onto a warmer rug. Both the tile and rug are at the room temperature, so why should the tile feel colder? It is because the rug takes up heat from your feet more slowly and therefore does not seem so cold. Objects that feel colder at room temper ature, are the sam ones that feel very hot when heated.
