Hope there may be still more

quality. i

There should be no strings on
the full development of the1 string
bean industry of the Salem dis
trict. What is needed is specialty
handling of the product; putting
out quality goods and advertising
them; especially- salad beans -for
the best trade of the- United
States and the wide world. .

In other words, we must pre
pare to spill the beans from the
Salem district in all the countries
bordering on the seven seas.
Let's grow from hills of beans
to mountains of beans; beans- that

Salem people are to, see at the
Oregon theater, beginning: today;
"Abraham ! . Lincoln," one of the
greatest screen pictures ever pro
duced, and one that , will make
history or rather help to make
real history accurate. 3 There was
a small crowd of Salem people in
vited to the Oregon theater for a
preview of this - picture yesterday,.
and' every "single one who saw it
was thrilled and filled 'with burn
ing enthusiasm over the great
production. The ; coming of the
picture to Salem is an event. It
has taken the big cities of the

It doesn't much matter what
one is looking for, chiefly, in the
tremendous film epic, "Abraham
Lincoln Whatever it Is, he will
be sure to find it. - And, moreover.
it is bound to find something is
him,: too. X And that is about the
biggest response he is capable of
giving. ' A large guest-audience
present yesterday morning at the
pre-viewing lived, some for the
first time, and some for. the second
time, through one of the ' most
dramatic visualizations of the nation's-
history": 1
If one has a tendency toward
research work, he will find
abounding satisfaction time and
again. He will revel at lh sight
of the old shovel on whicl the
future president did his "iigger
in' "; in the way the son of Thom
as and Nancy Lincoln got his
name; what Mary Todd confident
ly surmised a whole halt decade
before her marriage, and who it
was, anyway, that , gave Lincoln
this idea about growing a beard.
The love idyll between Abraham
Lincoln and Anne Rutledge, the
loveliest girl in all New Salem, i
a drama apart.
He who. sees Lincoln as standing
for- all that ' is typical ' and trium
phant in human character will be
glad for the gamut that honor and
justice and mercy may run in the
life of a school-boy without any
school, a rail splitter, a grocery
clerk, a post-master, a husband, a
father, a president of the United
States. If this regard has been
great before, it can only be more
so after seeing the picture, t It
hasn't been in Lincoln's life alone
that many have had to put on the
cap and bells in order to divert
themselves ' from a heart that is
breaking. Perhaps , that Is one
reason the drama is so moving.
He who sees not in the charac
ter of the man, but in the events
that encompass him. a philosophy
of history. will be engrossed to the
quick in. what took place between
the years of 1809, when on Febru
ary 12, a perilous blizzard swirled
about the cabin on Rock Spring
farm where a -mother, two days
without food, lies with her new
born babe, and 1865 when the
whole country' is startled at the
ghastly mingling of .orchestra
strains and pistol shot.
"Abraham ' Lincoln," a First
National picture, and opening to
day at the Oregon theater to con
tinue for three days, is heartily
endorsed by practically every club
fn Salem. The Better FOms com
mittee of the American Associa
tion of University Women is re
ceiving the splendid cooperation
of Mr. Stille, the manager, in
bringing an' important group ' of
pictures to Salem. v
In speaking again"of "Abraham
Lincoln it isn't the sort of film
one wants to talk about volubly.
That is like clapping when the
moment is too .'intense, too big.
Yet one wants to feel sure that all
his friends are going to see it, not
for any personal satisfaction that
it is going to bring him, but be
cause he would' feel that' some
thing vital, something vast, had
been left out of their lives if they
missed it. ' " .
Not only representatives from
various local clubs, but the tesi
dents of the Old People's home
and the GAR comrades were in the
audience - for a successful pre
viewing.

Unless business men contribute
$500, the Salem, Ore., versus Sa
lem, Mass., debate will be a matter
of words instead of an actuality.
according to the statement made
yesterday by J. C. Nelson, princi
pal of the Salem high school.
The matter of teams, question
and other matters have been ar
ranged, but the prohibitive ques
tion of expense has not been set
tled. At first the Salem, Mass
school wanted to send three men
bff the tfeam. but due to the re
quest of the local organization the
team- was cut down to two men
and the debate coach. The elimi
nation" of the third man has cut
the expense down to- a minimum.
but even with that the difficulty
Is to be faced In securing the
funds. v I v l -
Practically all the money in the
high school funds has been placed
at work, and It is up to the school
officials to get the money from
some other source.
From all considerations the ex
pense of the trip can be cut to
about $1000, of which the eastern
school will pay one half. This
would leave the local 'high school
to pay their, share 6f the expense
in addition to the entertainment
of the visiting team.
"We would have to depend very
largely upon the business men of
the city," declared the principal
yesterday, "and they. are crowded
to support a number of projects
already.; rj
It was pointed out that the big
debate -would . detract from the
state championship debates i by
eliminating some of the high class
debaters, of the Salem team. The
state question would have to take
a Jack seat. In order to meet the ErBSSSSTi2i
easrenr ream, tnerocarteam would
have to put on 'the two strongest
men to handle the question. As
result' the work on the state
question would be shortened. Thij
is a problem facing the Salem
team but they think they can
overcome it" some way, although it j
will mean slighting : the state i
question.' . . - " ; A ;.'.
The two high schools decided
upon tne question or tne federal
child labor amendment, - and will j
be stated so as not to apply to any
particular state. Originally the
easterners wanted to defend the
stand taken by Massachusetts in
rejecting the amendment. It was
shewn that the advantage of the
eastern team could not be faced
Lby the local team. ;
'i. Students are working on the
proposition of securing money for
the trip, but from all indications
the trip will fail. ; The original
plan called for a return debate be
tween the two schools in 1926. the

formed the mightiest demonstra

engaged in by American forces in

mands were on the alert through
out the night .to study the results
of contact and engagement.
Messages, ' orders, reports of
positions, poured through in code
and the fortified cities, aggregat
ing 25,000 men, were active with
burning excitement. All . naviga
