LOGANBERRIES COMING Harvest Will be in Full Swing by End of This Week loganberries are coming to the Salem packing houses now in daily increasing quantities.. The harvest of these berries will be in full swing by the end of next week. Strawberries are still coming In large supply. In barreling ber ries, the crop is shading off rapid ly, it win not last in considerable supply after the end of this week, from the low lands, but-some will still come all next week from the hill country, up Silver Creek Falls way; though one large grower brought in his last picking of these (Marshall) berries yesterday. But he will have Etterburg type (can ning) berries for a couple of weeks yet. So will many growers from the hill districts. So loganberries and red and black raspberries and cherries will be in full supply before the last of the strawberry crop is brought in to the packing bouses. It looks like a busy canning sea- eon, clear up to apples towards Christmas time, with some vegeta bles In at least one cannery; the Paulus cannery. It is well assured now that- all the strawberry crop will be taken care of. And all-the loganberry crop, too. with drying to eke out the cannery demand. BAPTISTS SCORE D. A. R.

Md., June 18. (AP) Withdrawing from the field , of democratic presidential candidates within just a week of the national convention at Hous ton, Gov. Albert C.1 Ritchie, of Maryland, in a statement to the Associated Press tonight said that "Governor Smith is in every way fitted by experience, character, and ability to assume the leader ship," and has the best chance to win. In stepping aside for the New York executive, whom he said "justifies the peoples' faith in democracy," Gov. Ritchie added that he would instruct the Mary land delegation to cast its strength for Gov. Smith. There was no exception In the Marylander's mind that he would be offered the vice presidency, but even though it might be, he will not accept It. "I am profoundly convinced no consideration of self or of personal advancement on any one's part should be allowed to stand for one moment in the way of the success of the democratic party which is the natural champion of self-gov ernment and popular self-rule."

One was Alderman Hal Patton. who has not returned from the republican convention at Kansas City, and the other was L. J. Simeral. who was at the school board meeting until later In the Mr. Purvine also said he under stood the objection at present is not to Mr. Maxwell's barbecue, but to changing the zone so that other businesses, perhaps undesirable, might be located there. He coun seled" leaving the matter as it stands. City Attorney Fred Williams, when called upon for an opinion, said the council was morally bound to pass the ordinance, hav ing already sanctioned the change by adopting the zoning commis sion's report; but that in his in terpretation of the zoning ordi nance, the change i not in effect until the ordinance is passed.

Mr. Miles said that he had ad vised his client to open the res taurant, in good faith believing that he had every right to do so. Rev.
