FRUIT TREES AND HONEY - The up to date fruit growers of the Salem district have come td fully, realize the absolute, necessity of honey bees, in order to insure the pollination of j their fruit blossoms J , ';S6, there must be here ,literally billions more bees. , ; 4The 44 virgin daughters of toil,'' the worker bees, are the original 'f working fools" they literally work themselves to death in six weeks during the honey season Vf And a good queen bee will lay from 2000 to 3000 eggs a day'-;;; I So that in each hive a working "fool is born every minute" and then, ome . And a good hive of bees will at the height of the season contain 30,000 to 60,000, and even 100,000 bees , i 4 So that, though there may be torrential rains all through v the! fruit blooming season, with; only an occasional breaking of sunshine through, the weepy clouds, during those few hours of sunshine the bees will carry the pollen ad make the blossoms . fniHflllfr . 'Vot rhe .beeij, work" and literally f Improve each shining hour." Tkeyhai'e the urge of their ancestors-back through the ages, for wprk'i'Uiat is the life of the honey; beetand that is her death. " . '. -'' . "v ',ai; v . ' . ' It would pay the fruit growers of the Salem district to subsidize the beekeepers, with a money subsidy ' M Hut they do not have to. t Here is a better way;; ' i , Kaise more white, alsike aiicTsweet clover, and more Hun garian 'vetch, and scatter more Scotch broom, and in other ways provide more late bee pasture ,; ' And encourage. more beekeeping; get better bees, and see that bee diseases are ttaniped out-4j - - ; And in that way the orchard men will subsidize themselves; iheywill improve the fertility of their soil, and they will get tlltoc crops for One the clover, the honey and the fruit And they will make sure the fruit. ; There is no section inMhe world that has a better honey flow than, the Salem district in the spring and, early summer. Intend this, by-providing proper bee pasture; throughout all trjr sunshiny days, of the late summer and fall; and this will be a veritable land flowing with inilk and honey and money.

It must be conceded that most these expressions do express. They tell. the story rith more il-r Itimination than dictionary words. When this is established they are no longer, kept on probation, but are admitted into the full Tocabu lary of the learned.

" It; throaui picion on all the investigation, but the -worst part of it is it exposes the unworthy motives of politici ans who would besmirch any name no matter how sacred, to get po litical advantage. -'Colonet jltoosevelt has perform ed admirably wherever placed, and it ls a dirty shame to have him attacked simply because these cun ning ; politicians believe : they can help- the democratic party by in juring republicans in office. It is a startling realization that politic ians will not spare the innocent if they believe they can help them selves, i A FOOLISH COLLECTOR fe- : v. " i . v -... Hudson Maxim bears an honor-i ed name, but he is old and childish. The last time we saw bim. which was threeyears aro. h vh nM enough td'diebnt he is still walk ing around. , Recently he made an address Defore a society of Free Thinkers,-Trhich .would be better named a society of Free Drinkers. He made a protest against the use of tei and coffee.' An individual protest is all right, but Mr. Maxim claims to ! have' , legal advice that both of these, drinks are outside the law. It is a foolish contention and one that will not get very far. It appears that Mr. Maxim had been offered a enp of coffee at the Free Drinkers' 'dinner, whereupon he protested that he had consulted many of the most prominent legal authorities in the country 'and de clared that "I speak with their aulhority'jwhen I, tell yon that if all . manner, jor acoholic Jlquors were served at this'dinner the pro visions of th's isttr -amendment would not be violated " or dlrse speted one whit mote than It ' Is violated In serving us coffee." - That Is nonsensical. Tea and coffee, it is true, have stimulating properties A powerful drug can be extracted from them but it Is ridiculous1 to say that they are Intoxicating within the meaning of tho 18th amendment. , CAI1ISKT UESTHOTKKS V ' One of the famous indoor. Bports after a presidential, , election is cabinet building. Afterwards a lot of men devote their time to cabinet destruction. In every cab inet weak men find a place, and' the destroyers soon find tho weak est link, upon which they pounce to break the cabiuct chain. One man has been driven from the cab inet, and another should go, but this docs not mean that halting cabinet officials is 'a healthy In door sport. , A GOOD PLAN The Oregon Statesman is in hearty sympathy with the plan to organize a Marlon county republi can club to which -every republican voter in the county is eligible and which every republican voter is UTged to Join. The plan if this organization is not to the, Inter est of any candidate until after the nomination, but to present the republican party to the, voters of Marion county in such a way that they will carry fair values and not be blinded by oil or the much mud that is being thrown. We heartily approve of the proposed organi zation. DAUGHEitTY SHOULD GO President Coolidge would be justified in summarily dismissing Daugherty from the cabinet. He never should have been where he is In the first place. He is not personally mixed up with any scan dal, but neither has he performed credibly to the administration. In the reorganization he ought to step aside and permit a man who is untainted to occupy the position of attorney general. Mr. Daugh erty is not accepted as the repre sentative of the best republicans in the country. GET THE BOOZE' Since the senator was shot in Washington there has been much, talk about getting'the guns. Back of the guns is the booze, and it is responsible for every crime that is committed in that way. Gun toting is wrong, but in a large ma jority of cases where tragedy re sults, booze 'fires the brain. Get the booze and the guns will take care of themselves. WHERE IS IIE? What has become of Senator Zimmerman who was carrying the doctrine of La Follette all over the state? La Follette is not going to file in Oregon for the presi dential nomination. Portland is just now starting a choice new scandal. A man who had been indicted wanted permis sion to sell bonds, and some of the Portland people sent confidential letters of recommendation. I BITS FOR BREAKFAST .4 There is money in honey - And health and happiness, as well as wealth in it. k The J-eport of the spies to Moses on the "land flowing with milk and honey" knew something about vitamines and a lot of other things either this, or they stumbled onto the essentials of vigor around 3000 years before we modern ' folks caught on. The fruit grower with plenty of honey bees will make himself practically immune against being stung by crop failures. "W S And he will have an insurance policy against , the failure of a honey crop if he will raise plenty of Hungarian vetch and the sweet clovers. V This will mean dairying, and he will have a goodly land flowing with milk and honey, and bring ing In a flow of money every day in the year. The biggest thing in fruit grow ing Is pollination, and the biggest thing in pollination is the honey bee. "Male and female created He them, and this extends throughout nearly all living things even to the vegetable kingdom even to fruit and nut blossoms. The honey of Hymettus will be discounted by the honey that goes to the world markets under the Salem brand, when the bee keep ing industry is fully developed. S - V The drone is called the 'drone because he drones. Bee Or man. Don't be a drone. "The Covered Wagon" Is great because it is true to life; strange as parts of it may seem to our younger people, "Jesse Wingate, represents Jesse Applegate, who was known to many men and wo men', now. living. The Applegates settled at Yoncalla, Douglas coun ty, and owned large tracts of land there. Their descendants are scattered all over the coajt, many of them, having occupied promi nent places", In alpwalks-of life; and many of them still holding such places.!." . ' I , STAYTON NEWS .

EDITORIALS OF THE PEOPLE 4 ' ' Xewsboys Complain. Editor Statesman. We are newsboys who sell Portland and Salem papers. Most of us have sold here for a long time. We want to sell all the papers that we can. We have been told by the Capital Journal's men, Mr. Scott and Mr. Putnam, that 'we must take more papers than we can sell or lose our jobs. We have had to do that for many nights all winter "nd it us ually costs us frorn 10 to 40 cents to keep our corners per day. That is not fair. Will you publish this so every body will know that when a boy is begging you to buy papers as late as 8 o'clock, you will know that he is trying to prevent too much loss. Many times we have to take as much as 150 to 200 papers more than we can sell (that is all of us). We must pay for them too. Is that right to do? The Portland papers do not force us to take more than we can sell. We cannot make much selling only these. You see why we need the Capital Journal. We will give any? paper a square deal. We want a square deal too. SALEM NEWSBOYS, Spanish War Veterans 1 Guests of Salem Post The anniversary of the sinking of the battleship Maine in Havana .harbor was appropriately observed by Marion Post Number 661, Vet erans of Foreign Wars, at an open meeting at the armory last night Guests of the post were members of the local post of the Spanish American War Veterans and mem bers from out of town posts.

I will not wriite this time.

The bee and the cow rank side by side as the sources of two of our most valuable and natural foods. Education on the.subict of milk has been widespread in re cent years. Honey needs a little more publicity.; On the side of merely Interest mg information stand the two facts that it requires 55,000 round trips by bees to bring one pound of honey to the hive, and that this pound of liquid-sweet ness represents the collected uec tar from more than 600.000 sep arate blossoms'. i nere .

In addition to its pleas ing flavor and its easy availabili ty, it possesses concentrated heat and eneigy value. It ,is a combi nation of levulose and glncose tn nearly equal parts, two of the sev eral different kinds, of sugar ex isting in nature. Leyulose ia. a fruit sugar, fair ly Well tolerated by diabetics, and so 'has real medical value, (glu cose is compared '.to dextrose and dextrin. The former is the "body fuel par excellence," according to high' food' authorities. It is the only form of-sugar which can be assimilated into the blood without any preparation. All other sugars must be converted -by digestive processes into dextrose before they are used ' by the human system. Dextrin is valuable for its power to drive' out putrefactive agent in the intestines and to help the healthful acid-forming bacteria in their work. Honey also contains vltamine l$ thfe invisible pro tector against anemia, beri-beri and nervous diseases. ' la view of all this,-..the phrase "with milk and honey blest" takes on new meaning.
