CIiniSTMAS SAVJXtt PliOBLUM We heard a man the other day object to Christmas, saving clubs because money was saved all the year to be. spent at Christmas.

I.NTEIOATIOXAL ASUTY The orKaniiationjofdin!ng and eocial cluus lg dying a lot to fra ternize the. world, t'Fbr Instance, the Kiwanis club of Salem is tak ing steps to place the Canadian flag alongside the American flag, on 'the theory that the organiza tion is international and therefore tbere should be amity between the .countries', t It is fair reasoning. A CHEST FUND The Oregon Statesman heartily concurs on the idea to have a chest fund in Salem. There is too. much waste- and too much left undone. With the money 'wo are now spending we could get betfe fesulfs. The chest idea is coming - to -stayr-because- ft is right-..-: We object "as" Irene Castle speaks of her "far flung" fame as a dancer. . We object the more as we think more of it. In fact the more we think of it the less we think of it. A dancer is a high kicker and "far flung" belongs to missionaries. We notice that there Is an un usual -loyalty in Coos Bay. It is not only a town loyalty, it is a bay, loyalty, -because an inhabitant of Marshfield or North Bend will register from Coos Bay while away from home. It is a splendid idea.'- : t CUT THIS OUT IT IS j WORTH MONEY i ? Send this ad and ten cents to Foley & Co.. 2835 SheffieIdMAVe.. Chicago, 111., writing your, name and address clearly.

BITS FOR BREAKFAST . -w There is money in mint .Not a mint of money; but it is a reliable industry for this dis trict ' 1 mm And-our minttgrowers would be "sitting on the world" ft they would go into the association 100 per cent strong, and build a refin ing plant. They would then get the high est prices paid in the United States; get all there is in the in dustry; stabilize it, and be able to increase the acreage to the full extent of the available profitable markets. mm' m No otner section of the United States could stand up in compe tition with the Salem district; be cause we produce the highest quality, the most pounds to the acre, and the mint with the high est, njenthol "content. .The mint, after the oil is distilled, is good stock feed ,'f too. ".There . is no waste. " " ' . ' " .. V You will, not get punched if you build a. mpit distillery. There i3 no . moonshine in peppermint-oil. It does rcNt take a bootlegger to Bell "it. The candy' and gum men and druggists and manufacturers of toilet articles will take all we are likely to produce for a long lime. Salem has all the makings of the mint center-of the world. All on earth that is required is complete organization and coope ration. The rest will follow as the sparks fly upward. The PUBLISHED- OCCASIONALLY ADVERTISING MONKEY SHINES ARE SUDOEN SERVICE Mystery games are good ones for a party. You may have some time been the baffled one in the trick which two people, a leader and a guesser, who are "in ca hoots", play on the crowd. The guesser leaves the room, far beyond 1 earshot, while the crowd agrees on an ob jectj When the guesser returns and the leader asks. "Is it this? Is it that?" The The most wonderful thing about the Salem district is the fact that nature has given oar people so many franchises, or pos sible . products that amount to franchises; things that we can produce of better quality or to better advantage or at greater profit than other districts. Mint growing -is one of these franchises about which there can be no ques tion or argument. U "Is The copies of the filbert Slogan edition are exhausted. Getting low on some others.

Slogan editor is not puffed up about this. He is simply, working for. a' great and balanced prosperity in - our section, and for a solid and grow ing Salem. If every one here would only get the vision, to the last man woman and child, and realize what the possibilities are, Salem would before very long be a city of 100,000 people, V .
