TTIE OREGON STATESMAN," SALEM, OREGON. " THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 17, 1027 OF THE PEOPLE : . i Kti word. - 1 Hi a a " " , Hendricks Avenne FMi'tor Statesmanr The time may have been in the dim and misty past when a street in South Salem could well and ap propriately be designated as Hura! avenue. At a time when It was probably the most" outermost street of the c ity. sparsely built up and with no improvements whatsoever. the DOrUcr UCIWCCU WUUIBJ auu c ity, as it were. ; However, that time has long since past and the city limits have been extended to Hoy t street, two ji!ock.H beyond Rural, and JudsOn, MtGilfhrist and Fairmount streets have been opened, more or less im proved and many modern homes built thereon beyond Hoyt street, the present southern city limits, in the past five or ten years. Heme, Rural" avenue Is now well inside the popular home dis-. trict of South Salem. Thre"e blocks were paved last year and three or four more blocks are to be paved this year. Six fine new modern homes were built on two Mocks of Kural avenue last fall and another is now under course or construction. Well toward the east end of the street several new homes are also well, along toward completion. Rural-avenue is the longest street running east and west in South Salem and therefore one of the most '"Important asV.it connects the far eastern and west ern limits of the city nd the won der is that it has not been per manently improved, or at least macadamized the entire length long ago in order to afford a much needed through, cross street for traffic in that popular residence district of the city. Wfth the development f that district and the acquisition of the fine new Leslie junior1 high, school building and its modern athletic field or stadium as proposed, there are those interested who be gin to realize that the name Rural avenue is a misnomer ta this street of modern homes and permanent pavements. , . The . name impresses the stranger as being a quiet drive through fruit laden orchards, peaceful green meadows and ever green, fragrant woodlands Instead of through a modern horn district over pavedstreets, and- tnV time has come, when the. name of this street should be changed;' " Many streets take" their, name from esteemed . pioneer residents thereon, which is ''Very appropri ate and a fitting recognition of these -. worth ypioneers .who have been, so closely identified with the growth; sad development- of their reipecflTe 7 district, i- fitting ex ample' 6f which we have in South Salem of Bush street, "Myers street, Judson street, McGHchrist street Therefore, the , name Rural might well, be changed to perpetu ate the memory of some worthy citizen of that , district who has been instrumental in its upbuild ing and development. It will be 'remembered that a few years ago - Hendricks and Abrams owned almost every lot on central Rural avenue and it was they who promoted most of the 'arly " building operations in that district or addition to Salem, in fact many' commodious" and mod ern homes stand ' today as monu ments to .their enterprise and pub lic spirit, an investment made at a . time when that "district was not considered a --very5 desirable home district owing to Its rolling for mation" and ""poor streets. Later years, however, proved this to be elevation affording gisand- views of Weal for homesiteS plffing to its the valleyjand gqow, capped peaks of the Cascades, as well as natural (traflnage. aid today It is becoming a dUtrlet pli. fine homes and hoo! ras -well ;.as a number of suburban "business ntenrises.' - . ?i Prom .the i fact that1'thtt jRtfral ayaWy district- was' first Opened and developed by Hendricks and Abrams who are 'Mill contributing their full share to the' upbuilding of the district many new modern homes on South Winter street having recently been promoted and constructed by Paul""Hen drirks, son of our pioneer news paper man. and booster, R. J. Hendricks, and therefore we take this opportunity to suggest that fhe name Rural avenue be changed to Hendricks avenne, - as fitting recognition of the enterprise and public spirit of members of this estemed family and their success in building up the central Rural avenue district with" modern homes and schools, , which are 'ringing the much needed paved streets. No man has devoted more time, energy and capital to the upbuild ing of this district than has R. J. Hendricks, and he has for 40 y ears 1een unstinted and untiring 'In his labors for not only the upbuilding and development of this district, but for the entire city and the tributary agricultural districts' as Wfll, both by personal effort and through the columns of The Daily Oregon Statesman. 1 It would therefore be a fine mark of appre ciation of his valued services- and an honor worthily1 bestowed to c hange the name of this prominent South Salem resident street from Rural avenue to' Hendricks ave nue. Let's make it unanimous. W. C? CONNOR. Salem, March 16, 1927. - :PRISON-BREAK-SGENE-AND-POLIGEMEN'SHOT ---mm v . - : x l ....... II :fe-af rw' .... . la. ' - Jt. - 4,-'. - u- I I tKTt v. y: .

The petitioner was Eliot Tuck erman', a New York lawyer and a former member of the state legis lature, and the hook on which he based his petition was "The Life of Gouverneur Morris" by Jared Sparks, published In 1832. The letter printed in the book, which Tuckerman asserted showed the supreme court to have acted in upholding the prohibition amend ment in contradiction to the intent of the drafters of the constitu tion, was written in 1804 by Mor ris to Uriah Tracy, then a United Sates senator. The whole question of the con stitutionality of the .18th amend ment, Tuckerman said, depended on the meaning of one short and ambiguous phrase in the fifth ar ticle of the constitution, the ar ticle which deals with the manner in which amendments may be proposed to the states by con gress. This article reads that congress shall propose amendments "when ever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary." The late Speaker Reed ruled in 1898 that this should be interpreted to mean two thirds of a quorum such as is necessary for the transaction of ordinary business, one half of the members and one half of each house.

V Statesman Classified Advertisements Bring Quick Results Salem Firm Information The Charles R. Archerd Im plement Company of Salem, Oregon, has established a farm information department for the purpose of giving help to the farmers of this section in con nection with their farming op erations. With reference to the present agricultural sit tioi, Mr. Archerd stated tbat it was his opinion, after dealing with farmers for over 35 years, that improvement in local farm ing conditions can. best be ob tained through the individual effort of the farmers them selves. Our idea is to operate the farm information depart ment on a basis of working with each farm family-in such a way as to stimulate and to encourage thinking about im proved farming methods, and how to' apply . these methods, rather than to attempt to tell them how to do things In a cut-and-dried manner. . We appreciate the fact tbat the occupation of modern farm ing is a highly specialized In dustry, and that it demands such a widerange of versatile ability, as well as knowledge and skill on the part of each In dividual farmer, that it is neces sary to learn many things by reading, as well as by associa tion with other people. We believe that the most practical and the best farm knowledge can be obtained by ''actual ex perience, however, in this day and age, no one farmer can possibly learn all there Is to know about farming out of his own experience, and- there Is. therefore, real need f6r a farm information department in our organization, to assist not only the study of improved, methods, " but also to , help plan out and install better means for doins farm work. After careful consideration It has been decided that the best pla for rendering a real serv ice to the farmers will be, for, Ivan Stewart, who is to be in" charge of the farm information department, to confer person ally with them on their own farms. ' . He has had practical experi ence in farming,- and his first hand experience together with a course at the Oregbn Agricul tural College, and-with several years government agricultural work have made him exception ally well qualified to assist each farmer In making a thorough study and analysis of the rela tionship of soils, crops, live stock, and markets. ' In addition to making per sonal visits to . tTie individual farms throughout this territory, Mr. Stewart will designate cer tain farms as demonstration farms for the purpose of show . Ing good farm practices under local conditions. We feel that one of the most important phases of the work as outlined will be to assist in the later changing of Ideas from one farmer to another, and from one community to another, as well as to bring out the results accomplished by farmers in neighboring states. v j The U. S. Department of Ag riculture, as well as the various state agricultural colleges,-have compiled a great1 fund of data, and the big problem Is to sift out the pertinent Information hlch applies to the- individual farm problems of this section. It is planned that the farm in formation department will ren der a service in connection With. " this sitting ; out process. ': We -have copies of all current agri cultural information which haa been , published by the govern ment as well as by the various atateS, and we urged that' you ? ; either; slr "Mr.; Stewart about , this or else cal at- the, office i - ana Iodic it over in order that ! you. may in turn obtain copies which are of; 4 particular value to yon.

Adequate telephone service means customer satisfaction AND TELEGRAPH COMPANT Starts Farm Department farmers coming into our store and asking, "Where can I get, some good milk cows, or some good pigs, or some seed corn. etc.," has made known the fact' that a real service can be ren dered by building up and main taining a free marketing ex change. We are " pleased to think that we have , been able in the past to help farmers dis pose of as well as to secure, livestock and seed grain, and we' fee! : that the marketing ex-. change. to be carried off by the4 farm information department will be a great thing for the farmers.' When Mr, Stewart is out over the territory he will make It a special point to list the surplus of good livestock and seed grains that farmers may have, as well as to note the wants of farmers in this con nection in order that an "ex change may be made to th best advantage. ' , The marketing of farm prod uce is one of the most acute problems which confronts .the farmers today, and it is our idea to assist the farmer who has products to sell by helping him to secure information as to who wants his products in 'order that they can be marketed with out an unprofitable expenditure of commission, time, and labor. Our idea is to help overcome- the practice of first producing and then wandering ' what the output will bring; by helping farmers make a continuous study of marketing conditions, and to know In a measure what the market prefers and what it is willing to pay. . we aesire to hnwsra derstanding that we are fnf ing a free farm information-department, and that it will riot cost the farmer one cent to support it.

Please bear It in mind yriien our Ivan Stewart visits your farm that he Is not Bent out as a salesman, and that he does not even belong to our sales force. He will not carry a sales book, nor Is it our plan for him . to take orders for machinery and equipment.1 His whole ob ject and likewise the object of . the farm Information depart ment, as has been outlined In this article, is: to counsel and to work with farmers and their families, to disseminate farming information, to operate a local marketing exchange, and In , brief to maintain a clearing house for information and serr- tice in order to help bring about increased etfjeiency and : im provement in the " farming in dustry of this section. 1 y "t I We do not propose to make a quick change in conditions by advocating thev adoption "o I some new untried schemes; but we do feel confident that we can jinatertally help 'farmers make more money by working with them in a practical way on their own Individual farms. We believe that personal contact with, each farmer will be a means jt accomplishing great results, and it ia desired to have , each farmer feel that this is hl farm Information department, and that he can be helped lo the extent which he requests .- help and . makes known hhf needs. We therefore ask that you bear these facts in mlnd;- and that you make it a point to utilize the free services of pnr Farm Information Department to the .fullest extent '- : . .
