Entered nt the Posloffice ia Salem, PIE i The well beiug of Salem is closely bound up with pie. Our prosperity in large measure depends upon pie; wc do not live by bread alone, but partly on pie l- In a material sense. We of the Salem district live more largely by pie perhaps than any other community in this country, or any other country. Not that we ourselves have pie for breakfast and both the other meals, and for all" the snacks in between, including late night ! lunch, as some New England people are said tojlo 'j: But that we must depend in large part for the markets for what we produce upon the demand for the filling for pies; upon the great American appetite for pie. l Now, it is uncertain when and how pie was invented, or how pie as we know it came to be called pie. The pie concerning which these lines are being typed is "an article of food consist ing of a pastry crust with any of various kinds of filling in or under; it. That is the dictionary definition of it.t The origin of the name is possibly connected with the bird pie; the magpie, or the woodpecker s And there are many meanings of the word pie. It may rfean'a jumble, like the printer's pie or "pi." It may convey the idea of. a table or collection of rules; or of an alphabetical index or catalogue, as of court records. It may mean a color ,or rather white and black. ; If may mean piebald; mixed, mongrel. It means a coat to some people and as an adjective, pious. It ' is a liquid measure to some, and to others a foot measure. A pie in India or- Siam is a small coin But to the great American public a pie is a joy forever and largely, a thing of beauty ; and to many next to the very staff of life ' ', And to the Salem district it is a very staff upon which we lean and depend for part of our chance to have our place in . thl Mil II.

One man sets up a howl against a rich man and a yelping follows all over the coun try. It is very easy to get sent! ment against a rich man. Representative Hull of Iowa, a member of the committee, declar ed in a public statement that in this refusal "Mr. Ford is a wise man. He appreciates that he could not defend before any com mittee the proposition he lias sub mitted for turning over to a cor poration to be formed by him ono of our greatest natural resources for .,$110,000,000 less than the amount we are offered by other bidders.' Congressman Hull makes the further accusation that Mr. Ford is trying to put a loker over farmers who hare been led to be Here that the sale of the govern ment property to the automobile manufacturer would bring them cheap fertilizer. That .expecta tion has been Mr. Ford's strongest pulling point. But the Iowa con gressman says - it is deceptive, since "no definite provision is made in his proposal for the manufacture of cheap fertilizer, and he prefers not to come before the committee and make personal guarantees that would be bind ing" That kind of talk is nonsense. Ford has made a business offer and all the yelperB over the coun try have attacked. He has not fought back because there is nothing to fight. He made a clear statement and it carries its own argument. America is pass ing up its greatest business' op portunity if it fails to rise to the occasion and give Henry Ford the contract and support to which be Is entitled. Learning to give There is a good deal of com plaint because since the war we have been having drives for so many things. The war is held directly to blame, in a measure it ia blamable. For the first time we learned what team work "can do in the matter of making collec tions, but we are not using tha big stick at the present time. Further, up to the war we did not know that there was any way to get these public enterprises, the result was we did not have any. New enureses were rare and these other institutions went without, but when we found a nay to tap the fountain of wealth, straightway the world was full of plans for drives of one sort or another. We are giving away a lot of money, but it is all well srent and only a few give beyond their ability. There are lots of public enter prises that take money that must be put across in the next few years. We have learned to give Dn inai slv,nB ,s UQl a uaD,m we win give more in tne next lew lfm.ro ' - 1 A PITV The Oregon Statesman cannot enter with any enthusiasm into the petty controversy between the zovernor and thft sprrotarv rf ut ln f h hova, B!hool aitfi There is no site so outstanding bu that others will do just as e- It simply means that neither ine governor nor tne secre temporary elation for the inter- ests for the suffering boys in the training school.

' ... . . u narmony sues and tne inter ests of tha boys cared for is a great puy to nave tnis needless controversy while the boy are paying the penalty UROADKXIXG EDVCATIOX It is true that education has been revolutionized, but it has .not stopped there. In the old days the three R's held despotic sway; a boy had to get education via that route or not at all. A good many boys were set down as dull ards because they were not effi cient in the three R's. In those days a very small per cent of the boys secured an education. A change has come. We are now majoring on the individual boy rather than the mass, and courses are being provided to meet the mental bent of everyone. That, is why high school enroll ment has doubled in the last ten years. It is unfeir to any boy to prescribe his course for him, and we know no two boys are alike. They must be given selective courses and allowed to graduate, or education is a failure. BOOSTING SALEM Salem is receiving lots of boost ing these days by men who have come here recently and noted the possibilities of the country. They wonder why Salem does not have 100, 0t0 population. After they stay here a while and study con ditions they will understand that Salem docs very well ' to have 22.000. Sulcni is going to- have 100,000 The new day has dawned and the abundance of providence is being utilized by the people of the Wit lamette valley. We know what we.arr, but knowing our possibili ties It is hard to estimate what we shall come to be, but wc know that when wo arrive Salem will bo the center of the richest coun try in the world. A CONSPIRACY There is . Just one solution of the liquor prosecution "and that ia to declaro a conspiracy." just as oujudge McCourt advocates. The Oregon Statesman expects to pub lish the judge's address in full in its Sunday issue. It contains the crux of law enforcement and we urge our readers to give it a care ful and thorough reading. Ac cording to an oificial statement the prohibition law is enforced 05 per cent In Kansas and 50 per cent in Oregon. The reason for this lies with the enforcement of ficers of the law. When a man goes to buy liquor of a bootlegger he conspires against the laws of the country and both parties are guilty if a transaction is consum mated. Judge McCourt makes this so very plain that we trust his address will be generally read. OTHKIi MKX'S WIVES The Oregon Statesman may be old fashioned", and it is beginning to think that it is, but it adheres to the belief that no man ought to be out joy riding with his neighbor's wife as did this man Miller in Portland. Our friend Claude Ingalls has donned his Don Quixote armor, unsheathed his wooden sword from his cotton trappings and challenges the world to combat on this idea. He contends that it is all right. It may be all right for him andis, but W do not want any in ours. We never did subscribe to this promiscuous wife idea. XOT AX ISSUE We read that somewhere in Oregon the democrats have, or dered ten thousand miniature tea pots to be used as a campaign emblem. Our prediction is that this spasm will not last a week. Presidential elections are conduct ed on a higher ground than mud slinging. Real issues will enter in. Before the lines are drawn taut all sorts of loose talk will be indulged in, but when it comes to cases it then becomes a serious matter. The teapot dome scandal is a regrettable incident 'of govern ment, but that is all. There la no principle involved and nothing upon which a spell binder can go out and entertain an audience. THAT CASTLE BUSIXESS it is strange mat no one thought of calling the home a castle until the prohibition law came along. If a man steals a horse or a dog or commits a raur der, he does not expect protection through his castle. If a man uses his castle for illegal purposes, it becomes a road house and not a castle at all. This castle business is greatly overworked because it is a new defense. We riil be mighty glad when someone sails over the North Pole and reaches civilization' in the op posite direction. Lntil this ;is done there will always be more or less speculation and more or less appeal to the imagination. Anyway the determination to enforce the curfew lasted two nights. That's something. BITS FOR BREAKFAST This is groundhog day. ) S S But whether the groundhog sees his shadow or gets a dose of Ore gon mist, spring is not far off "All signs fail in Oregon," as the pioneers used to say. (All but the good ones.) mm m mm If you imagined that "Salem would stop growing, you have an other guess coming. Watch the development of the flax industry here. That will make Salem the Belfast or the New World. s Ex-Governor Walton of Okla homa wants a review 'by the United States supreme court of the action of tho legislature of that state, in impeaching him. Some men are gluttons for pun ishment. S Civil war is reported in Hondu ras. The insurrectionists have been mobilized in a hack. If O. Henry were only alive to assume the role of generalissimo. Henry Ford is raid to be spend ing, f 1,000,000 on this year s ad vertising campaign, although he needs it less than any man on earth. At that, he prefers to nut it into business rather than into politics. For a man who put the horse out of the running he still indicates a lot of horse sense.

As we finished our acrid little t-Ol- loQuy the farmer who had sold me the peaches appeared at the cor ner of th house and walked to ward us with slow gait and mad dening deliberation. "Look J at that pallbearer," Dicky growled, under his breath. 'If the peaches are a mossy as he looks you'id better leave them and make him: a present of the kale." I 'walked quickly toward the man for fear that he, would hear the gibe. ! "I camej for the peaches," I said quickly, i "Oh, yes, I'll get them," he as sented' and With the same delibera tion went: back to the house, re turning a few minutes later with a younger man and a woman, each bearing a basket of the most lus- c!ous-lookjing peaches I ever have seen in my life. But the baskets had no covering whatever, and I quaked at the vision which arose before my housewifely mind as to the appearance bf the- peachgs when our'jburney's end should have been, reached. "But they're not covered," I ex postulated, ij "They don't nejtd to be," Dicky interrupted. "There's no room for those baskets. Iill have td carry them loose." i 'Loose!" ! "Loose!" My iCxclamation was almost a shriek. I "Of cdurtse. Now don't stage any hysterics. I said 'loose' and I mean 'loose.' Jusfi come here'' to the farmer. "I'll pile these suit cases on the seat, and then you dump the peaches on the bottom of the car.' "Them suitcases won't bounce off and smash the peaches, will they?" The old man voiced the frantic thought which was In my own mind. I had a panic-stricken vision of the appearance of the peaches and the suitcases at the end of our journey If Dicky persisted in his plan. The only gleam of light in the whole situation was the ma licious reflection that the only really, good luggage Lillian and I own out traveling bags was in the car with us. Our suitcases are old, almost at the point where they must reach the lowest social level for all lugagge that of parcel post carriers but Dicky,'s lug age is all new and good, and he is quite fussy about it. . "No, the seat slants." Dicky's voice was curt as he answered the farmer's, query, and the old man promptly, took the hint and came forward with the peaches, prepar ed to pour them from the basket into the bottom of the car.

Bo,lv4.Ull asketball PRACTICE. THE PIVOT ,A strong point for the good bas ketball team is in possessing a good center. A good center should almost always be tall, so that he can get the ball on the jump-off. He mus be more than tall, how ever; "he must be fast and aggres iveaad know how to handle the ball well. ' Good jumping is necessary if ou would get the ball for your hending feminine smile at the vag aries of men, turned toward the house after setting down her bas ket, and as she did so, Lillian slip ped out of the tonneau door. "Say, I want to see some jars of jam," she whispered as she turn ed toward the farmhouse, and I knew that she had some scheme in her mind for minimizing the ef fects of Dicky's obstinacy. "All Set!" "Are you ready to start?" Dicky demanded when the last of the peaches had been dumped into the tonneau. "Where's Lil?" I explained sedately. "Can you beat it?" He gestured despairingly to the distant moun tains. "I ask again, can you beat it? v Hunting for jam when the cars are already loaded to the guards, and we're wasting so much time that we probably won't get home for three days." He strode up and down the road, fuming,-until Lillian appeared, two small glasses of jam in her hands, the farmer woman follow ing her with a bulky bundle. "This lady suggests," Lillian said in a high clear voice, "that it might be a good thing to protect the peaches from the dust with these, sacks, so she's giving them to us." The farmer looked up in aston ished fashion at his wife, and I saw a conjugal signal for silence in her eyes, and realized that she had not given, but sold, the sacks to Lillian. But Dicky paid no at tention to the little byplay. He was sulkily examining thedtires of the car. and Lillian took the bun dle from the farm woman, unrolled TO CLERKS. ; . a Biggest Little Taper nl uu ou "bkm 7 Mijt .

Another way to increase your jumping ability is to stretch. A trick which centers, and the other players, as well, must know, is how to pivot the ball in their possession. Here is the way to pivot successfully. The feet should be well apart in starting. Suppose the pivot is to be to the right the player makes a half or three-quarters turn to the right on the ball of the right foot, try ing to Just come ln contact with the body of his opponent. When this is completed, the ball should bs in the player'B left arm. The ball should immediately be drib bled when the pivot is completed. The pivot is used to get out of the way of a guard or to work around the guard so that a shot at the basket or a pass to another player can be made.

Then she came over to the car I was driv ing and climbed into it. "All set!" she called gaily to Dicky. "Shall we start?" "For the love of Mike, yes!" Dicky retorted, and I lost no time in obeying his suggestion. "Those bags will protect the suitcases a little," Lillian said. "and if there should happen to be any delay on the road, you and I could rearrange things while the Dickybird struggled with the re pairs." "I hope your words won't be a prophecy." I laughed, but when we were within two miles of King ston an unmistakable loud report told me that one of the tires bad blown out.

OUR NATION LEADS WORLD ' IN WATER POWER SUPPLY . By S. W. Straus, Preaideat American Society for Thrift It is a matter of interest and importance that greater public at tention is being given to the de velopment of our latent water power resources. Scientists have calculated that the maximum of potential water power in the united btates ex ceeds 54,000,000 horsepower of which we have only utilized about 9,000,000 horse power for commer cial .pnrposes. A better idea of what these figures mean is g-a i n e d when one under stands that one hydraulic horse power is equal to about eight tons of coal energy. Something like 40 per cent of our total possible horse power is to be found in the states forming the Pacific Coast division. 'Mom.' tana apparently leads all other states in water power possibili ties, as 8 per cent of the nation's f upply i$ found within the bor ders of that commonwealth.
