Phon It seems strange that men and women will come to headquarters coaiinate themselves by signing the nomination blank, take out a re-eipt book and then apparently droo out of existence. How can anyone fall to get subscription: who make an effort at all? Did you evt-r have an opportun ity before in which you were PAID IN CASH for the effor necessary to win one of the bU automobiles? Remember, you ar- gaaran'eed pay for every moment of your time spent in vote getting It5-rere can be 110 losers in thi - election. Every active candidate 1 guaraiueed a CASH AWARD. If you get started now you can se cure your choice of one" of the cars without the expenditure o.' one cent. Talk about opportunity there never was such an opportunity of fered to live wires as exists right now in the Oregon Statesman's great $6000.00 "Everybody Wins Something" election. Candidates who have been slow in starting can easily, with a little honest ef tart, make a real place for them selves in the vote columns. An absolutely new candidate can enter the Hats today, and with some effort, put himself or her self in the running in a real way It seems strange that persons who have every earmark of being truly "big-time" hustlers who have demonstrated their interest by calling at campaign headquarters will go home to think it over and then well, it is lack of ambition or what no never to let them selves be heard from again. "God helps those who help themselves," mvs the old saying. It is true to day, too. Why. 5 years' subscrip tions will profluce ZS 8.000 votes to say nothing of the clubs and Domination votes and opportunity coupons. Then, too, there is the bonus vote of 100,000 for each $10.00 subscription, in addition to what you would be credited with the new. votes. The special radio award closes one week from tomorrow Mon day, February 20. at midnight. This Trego Radio Is an additional prize, and the work done between cures the most money on subscrip tions, new or old. for the three .weeks period ending Monday, Feb ruary 20. Contrary to expecta tions, no one nas established a substantial lead for this special prize, and hte work done between now and midnight Monday.

Who Are Spreading the Fame of This City Around the World Mr. Wetjen, in His Present Tour, Is a Sort of Ambassador of Good Will Without Portfolio to the Countries of South America Editor Statesman: Many Salem citizens wonder at the remarkable growth experienc ed by our beautiful city. In trav eling over the country, however, one cannot herp being impressed by the fact that Salem is not ex ceeded in beauty by any other lo cality in the United States and that few towns equal it; also that few. if any. cities have the pros perous farms, excellent roads and wonderful scenery surrounding them on all sides. From what used to be called a moss-back community. Salem has developed a constructive spirit of its own and it is known today as one of the most progressive and prosperous localities in the trv. Salem has been blessed for many vears wllh two good news- papers and a good Chamber of Commerce. The lrrestible effect of constructive publicity emanating ly responsible for focusing atten- tion on our community. We have gone beyond the pure ly local field in business, for we have a number of Industries which today ship their products to all parts of the United States and. in some cases, to all parts of the world. We have had several writ ers in our midst whose works have lp pea red and are appearing in na tional publications. This focuses attention on Salem in a manner not fully appreciated Ly our citi zens. 1 The writer recently attended a luncheon in San Francisco given by the McCormick Steamship com pany. to "Dick" Wetjen, one of our residents for some years past. As most of us know, "Dick" is a writer of sea stories and his works have appeared in book form and in our leading magazines such as the Saturday Evening Post. Col lier's and American Mercury, etc. The MrCormick Steamship com pany is sending Mr. Wetjen from! Saa Francisco down the west coast of South America. around the horn, and back through the Pana ma canal. He will stop at the var ious ports of call made br the hip and gather such data and in- ,p ration as he can. which will able him to weave stories around our American merchant marine I and its relationship to the trade and good-will that we, as a nation. hope to build up between the two American continents. At the luncheon In question were representatives of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, Jie large newspapers in San Fran cisco, magazines, photographic feature service bureaus, writers ind business men. San Francisco ?ave Mr. Wetjen a royal send-off and made no bones about express ing the desire and the hope that whenever possible he would men tion the magic name of that city .a his writings. This is good ad vertising for San Francisco be cause each such story spreads its uame around the world. The fact that Mr. Wetjen comes from Salem. Oregon, will give Sa lem publicity of a national char acter. If It were possible for "Dick" to work the name of Salem Into some of his tales, it would give us more good publicity of a national ana international cnar- 2 .. - . . . acter. If San Francisco exerts itself t encourage writers to spread Its name around the world, we are passing up a good opportunity when we have a writer of nation al reputation in our midst, if we Jail to encourage him to use the lame of our own fair city when be nas an opportunity.

Ed.) But for Breeding Purposes Her Eggs In Year Worth Four Times Her Cost VANCOUVER. B. C. Feb. 11 One hundred anJ twenty-five dol lars a pound is the price which F. A. Sansome. poultry breeder of Greenwich. Conn., paid the Uni versity of British Columbia for Hen No. F21&, a champion egg laying Leghorn. The bird weighed just four pounds and sold for $300. She will head the breeding flock on Sansome's chicken farm. The costly pullet is a money maker in her own right, accord ing to Prof. E. A. Lloyd of the univ.t"lty" She laid 335 eggs in a 5.-day test and it is estimated that for breeding purposes her year's production would be worth four times the hen's selling price. The hen is a stable mate of Mazie. world champion egg-layer. en-;daV3 a tQe anlve farmJ- s WASHINGTON. Feb. 11 (AP) Growers of a dozen states went before the tariff commission to day with a plea for a SO per cent increase in the import on onions. Flooding of the eastern markets by Spanish and Egyptian products, regardless of the present tariff of one cent a pound on Imported on ions, as charged by Senator Good ing, republican. Idaho, and Rep resentatives Garner, democrat. Texas; Summers. republican. Washington. Treadway. republi can, Massachusetts, and Taber, republican. New York. This, they said, presented the necessity for an increase under the flexible pro visions of the tariff act. Senator Gooding declared that the Idaho growers, besides having suffered in the general depression beginning in 1920. were forced to stand severe losses through the competition of foreign onion pro ducers. He said that the western mar kets had been closed to foreign manufactured products, and that justice demanded that the eastern markets be kept open to American farmers. A Big Task Referring to the above Asso ciated Press dispatch. It is not necessary to tell the cherry grow ers of tiie Salem district that the onion growers have a big task be fore them. They must submit ex haustive facts; they must con vince the members of the tariff commission that they ought to have Increased protection. If thev ret a favnrahle rennrt the president may grant a raise. He BREEDER PAYS FOR CANADIAN HEN 11 n WOT mm Week, Onion Industry can go a, high as a 50 par cent increase. Ia other word, he can. upon the favorable report of the tariff commission, make the pro tective duty on onions a cent and a half a pound. It la Terr evident that it oaght to be that high.
