TO SELL 'EM, TELL 'EM f The apple growers of the United States are actively planning- a nation wide advertising campaign, to cost $4,000,000 ; "a. million a year for four years With the motto: "You can't sell 'em if you don't tell W' And with their organization named, "Apples for Health, Inc." , r- - Experts are to be employed to prepare and place the -advertising, the main stress to be put upon the idea (and the ;truth) that apples are good for the health of people, and that they can be eaten every day in the year. The campaign will inot stress or even mention, brands or varieties. It will just tell why people ought to eat more apples. There will be a "teach the millions" committee to handle the advertising, and '.another committee to raise the funds. v Oranges, raisins, pineapples, bananas and other fruits 'have been telling 'em with such a loud voice and so often that 1 the people have just forgotten apples; which explains why the former king of fruits has been deprived of his primacy. The apple industry got less in actual dollars for the crop last year, Avhich was the largest in the history of the country, than it got for the crop of three years ago, when there was a general crop failure. Only an increased consumption will meet that situation. That is what the campaign will bring about. - In 20s years the California orange growers have increased ?their sales from $12,000,000 to $75,000,000, by good merchan dising built around good advertising. In 10 years the raisin growers have ; increased their sales from 70,000 to 200,000 tons a year. ' The pineapple industry was built up in a like manner. These are only three of 30 similar examples that might be quoted, where growers and producers have built .up their industries by well directed advertising and merch andising methods $ And it will be the same with apples. v- - It will be easy, because everyone knows apples, and has luiown apples since the days of the Garden of Eden. Great is advertising. AIN'T WASHINGTON WONDERFUL. PELLERS? WE SEE. 'EM ALL HERE taAAVVER TAIL., ANGUS; HERE COM E6 THC DKm5H Arlt5A55APUK KCLLY, HOW CAM A PUlR.

OREGON MAUI MAKES CALIFORNIA L A W S C. C. Baker Prepares Bills Enacted to Curb Habitual ' Criminals SACRAMENTO, CaL'. May 21. California's habitual criminal act, declared to be the strictest of its kind in the United States, ; was signed today, by Governor Young. It provides life imprisonment for anyone who has been convicted of felony twice previously. The new law is one of a group of eight criminal law revision measures signed by the governor as the second step In a program designed to strengthen .and ' speed Justice in criminal matters. All the bills were intriduced by Senator C. C. Baker of Salinas. Blind Dog Catcher two A PEPPY P. E. P. BUNCH .The foreman's forum of the Portland Electric Power com pany had its annual banquet at Hotel Marion last night. This Is the fourth similar meeting of the organization in Salem. .Trje founder of the organization, present and a moving spirit last evening, is C. P. Osborne, superintendent. D .A. Wright, Of the Salem office, will for the next year be chairman of the Organization for this city. . The big idea of the organization is the exchange of new discoveries and the telling of difficulties in regular meetings, for the good of the great concern in the progress and success of which all are concerned. This is interesting as well as helpful to the men and the company alike. It keeps every one up oh his toes- ' And it means up to date and high class service to the great public depending upon the facilities of the P. E. P. company. There is more pep in the VI E. P. on account of this peppy Organization of employees. For they are all employees. Offi cials are not members. Primarily all members are foremen, but all workers in the great force, and the officials, too, are velcome at meetings with their suggestions and their ques tions. This is an upstanding, resourceful body of technical experts, capable of much good to this particular great public Service,; and, to the whole range of the hydro electrical world; &nd that means a far-flung field' of service for all mankind. As was said in a news item in The Statesman of a week or so ago, I. D. Bowen, editor and proprietor of the Baker City Democrat, was a recent visitor in Salem, where he spent several years of his boyhood and early manhood, away back in the sixties. He of course saw many changes in Salem, and he ivas pleased with what he saw, as witness the following editorial in his paper after his return home : "It is with special pleasure that the writer, who has just returned home from a visit to the capital of Oregon, notes the wonderful growth of Salem, which can appropriately be styled 'the City Beau tiftijtjpf Oregon. We doubt if. an, city in the state has made more progress in bulTdirigTconstruction and home improvements. Its population; lias increased several thousand in the past few years and Salemiibw claims a population of 25,000 or more. - Homes of the prettiest type or architecture have been built ranging in cost from $4,000 to $10.- 000, and business structures of vast outlay of money have been built and others are under construction. A bank building eleven stories In height has just been finished and is occupied. A beautiful theater structure, one of the finest in the west, has been thrown open to the public and many other buildings indicate the growth of business A linen mill has just been completed and with its many canning plants, a paper and pulp mill and other factories with large payrolls show the substantial backing to rapid growth of the city. - Certainly, Salem is a city of fine homes and its tidy and well kept premises indicate the civic pride of its people in no unmeasured way." Going stronger S Salem . building . nearly dwellings a day. S Salem will get both cheaper and better streets by building them herself; not contracting. There fore she will get, more paving. These are all important. S s Salem Y free employment of fice had 191 applying for work the past week, and found jobs for lilt More applying and more being sent out. And the hiatus will be fully taken up by the first of the month, with berry picking and canning. .Senator Baker Oregon Man Senator C. C. Baker, mentioned in the above dispatch, married Nel lie Southwick of this city. Mrs. Baker and their two children died. Mr. Baker graduated from Wil lamette university. He taught as principal of the Lebanon public schools, and held similar positions in eastern Oregon schools, before going to California. He was elect ed to the assembly, the lower house of the California legisla ture, twice, from Salinas, and then was elected to the senate. Prof. Baker has been a student along the lines of penology, and no doubt California will benefit largely from the legislation he has prepared and put througQ. CONTRACT STREET PAVING AGAIN -r .There are several reasons why the city should do the . paving work, besides the fact that it can be done at a lower cost than contractors can afford to do it for . ; One of them is the factithat better work will be had, in the majority of cases through municipal operation of the .paving plants and purchase of materials- ' , For there can be no incentive for city employees to skimp -cither on materials or tfye cost of mixing and laying them, or On any other expense incident thereto; ' 'And this point is very well proven by comparison Go over the city and examine the contract work that was done .in the past, and compare.it. with the paving that was then done by Hhe city directly, or that which has been laid in ; recent years, since alf the streets have been paved by the city's own employees. There are some shameful examples of the poor values secured from contract work, in nearly every section of Salem. i ' ' ; There can not be found any paved street in Salem secured by con tract that is better than ';tKb average done .by. the city itself. The average is far below the city pavea streets. - Then there is a future. Let the city be equipped for paving more streets, with additional equipment," and this equipment jwill be good for many years.. .The city is getting somewhere in being prepared to do the work of making streets. - With contract work, the city has nothing left; over for the future; Ho, equipment ; no trained forces; no paving cult. . : .The city .with its present equipment can pave 100 to ll5 Statesman Classified Advertisements Bring Quick Results Have you been out In the coun try?
