A WONDERFUL HONEY BEE! EXHIBIT
The United States National bank of Salem is each Veek

This'week it is a honey bee exhibit, prepared in; cooperation
7 with H. M. Mead, who is known as. the bee kinjgr of this sec

- acreage. of Hungarian vetch; Grimm alfalfa- and the sweet

a beet sugar factory ' , r

Representatives pf the
to Salem before, the war and
a beet sugar factory They told a meeting of men represerit
ingi the business arid 1 property and 'banking interests here
thaf they haid been carryingri expeririients, and that they
had found that a'iargk acreage here was comparable in this
respect with th! fbffit j f ugar. beet lands of Germany; and that
there is no better in the world. They stated that.at the then
prevailing prices of sugar, the proposed factory would pay
expenses and overhead,: and pay back the cost of the factory
itself above the charges named, EVERY TWO YEARS.
This matter. ought by all means to be followed up vigor
ously. There should be a beet sugar factory in Salem, and.it
would be a fine thing if it could be owned cooperatively, or at
least controlled by our fruit growing and manufacturing in
terests of our home people , generally. It 'would - pay good
dividends in two ways; in the profits of manufacturing, and
in the indirect profits from the. cultivation of the land with
a crop that is a good rotation crop, the employment of a large
number of extra laborers in
wonderful growth of bar dairying and live stock industries.
! Montague Lord, one oft the biggest sugar; men in the
Orient, whose operations are in the Philippines and Hawaii,
while, in his bid home in Salem on a visit in 1923, said that the
beet sugar industry ought to be developed here in the Willam
ette valley; that it can be, and that, given stable prices, it
would be a very reliable business. ' ' " - ' .
There will soon be three kinds of granulated sugar ori
the market, cane and beet sugar, corn sugar and artichoke
sugar. (This is explained elsewhere ia this issue.) But we
can grow the Jerusalem artichokes to advantage here, and
somef Oregon samples 1 have been used in' the experiments
being made by the United States Department of Agriculture.
And, at little expense, a beet sugar factory can be arranged
to make also the levulose of artichoke sugar. Also, we grow
corn of good quality. We have the greatest corn growing
acreage in the whole northwester " .:
So, in due course, we winundoubtedly be making. aU
three kinds of the commercial sugars 1 : . . 1 , -
' And at least the beet sugar factory ought not to. be de-
iayea any longer. - , .

Editor Statesman:
Dear Sir:
I noticed an article In yester
day's paper that the i canneries
were offering only 6 cents for
sweet, cherries. 4 Do . they know
that the average commercial orch
ard does aot produce,. harvest, and
deliver cherries for less than a
cost of 7 cents? . Or are they
trying to ' ruin ' the growers and
wreck one of ; our high quality
fruit industries?
Last season we received 8 cents
which was a profit of only 10.00
per ton about that much average
per acre which Is too little only
equivalent to one or two days'
work for a mechanic. All wage
and salaried people can well af
ford to pay for their food in pro
portion to prices of other neces
sities. Producers should get not
less than 10 cents which would
add but a trifle to the cost of a
can of cherries, and which the
canneries should be willing- to pay
in justice to the growers thereby
supporting not only the industry
but stabilizing and saving their
own business as well.

Koing to kill me and put my body
on top of his. I told them there
was no way out. They told me
that if I rould open the solitary
sell, house door they would not
hurt anyone else, so I opened the
loor. They wanted to get another
man out,, out I tola tnem l aid

some handcuffs and came out.
"Tney told rue to take them to
the south gate and threatened to

I refused they would kill me and

they intended to kill him and call
Captain Hammermei6ter. So I fin

EL
Reveals Care Which Will
Give City Theatre as K
Beauty Spot -
"We are trying to build
Salem a theatre that will
for
bo
worthy of her for at least some
time .to come," asserted George V.
Guthrie, speaking . before Salem
Rotarians Wednesday noon about
the Elslnore theatre, which he is
building on High street between
State and Ferry streets.
The building has taken montns
longer to complete, than was anti
cipated, : and is costing ; nearly
three times as much as planned,
Mr. Guthrie stated. In regard to
this he said: . ; v .
"If we live long enough, may
God give us strength to see it,
done yet. - .
Extension oft time and expendi
ture of moro. money are the re
sult, however, of an endeavor to
build the theatre in such a way
that it will be of absolutely high
est quality in every respect. For
instance, Mr. Guthrie has insisted
that every bit of the finish plas
ter be in the best possible shape,
In any part of the buildinit. if the
finish job is looked the . least- bit
doubtful, the plaster was removed,
and a new coat applied. The same
rule is applied to decorating.
Jn Snokane. Mr ft
every citizen will refer to the greatS
doubtless one of the city's chief
selling points.
, In Los Angeles the natives tell
of the wonderful Egyptian theatre
and of the Metropolitan theatre.
They are, selling assets for Lo
Angeles.
It Is the hope of Mr. Guthrie
to make of the Elslnore such a
theatre as Salemltes will be proud
to talk of. '...;. :r-f &
' A good theatre can doiiuarm
to the city If It Is built right, de
clared Mr. Guthrie. "It must be
built righti for we have had a lot
of free inspection and free advice
from curbstone builders."
. The name "Elslnore. was cho.s
en. Mr. Guthrie related,' because
of his fondness for the play "Ham
let." as well as for the -euphonic
value of the name. ; -
'Gothic architecture was adopt
ed for two main reasons, first, the
style lends the most to soothing
relaxation.!! an Important function
of a theatre, and second, because
the architecture Is ever In style.

Mr. Guthrie stated that the high
quality of the theatre itself is only
a small step In the way of Improv
ing the quality of theatre enter

While Mr. Guthrie would make
no promise as to the exact date ot
opening, he asserted that three or
four weeks at nfbst ought to mark
the completion of the theatre.
