SALEM'S CITY
, R. L, Polk & Co., directory publishers, have for several
years had a force 'of men working in Salem, gathering data
for their forthcoming Marion and Polk county directory.
Time was when such directories were pruned, m so ir
was convenient, in the cities, or chief cities, wnere iney rc
ceived their chief revenues in the way of copies sold and ad
vertising ordered
But of late, for this section, that practice has been discon
tinued The last edition for Salem and these two counties was
printed and bound in Seattle, where, accordihg.to information
coming to the writer, there is a printing office in the owner
ship of which the Polk people have a share, or at least a
working agreement. 1
This is, of course, the business of the Polk people j
But the people of Salem and Marion and Polk counties
ought to be informed concerning this. It is their right. It is
their money that goes for the main volume of the advertising
and for most of the copies of the book. ji
If the Polk people intend to keep up this practice, those
who are engaged in the printing and binding tradei here
should consider the idea of getting out a directory, from year
to year, or every two years, which has been the Polk prac
tice. !
There is no great mystery about preparing the matter for
a directory. The facts are available to any one. A book pre
pared by local people would, if the work w?re properly direct
ed, be of greater benefit to Salemand the other cities and
towns and communities of the two counties than could a book
compiled by outsiders who go from place to place.
Yes; the job department of The Statesman has printed
these directories, up to the last one, for a long time, and thej
have been bound at the only bindery in Salem
But there are numerous other printing offices in these two
counties, several of which might perform the work. What
have their owners to say about this? What have the people of
the two counties generally to say about it?
AL AND THE FARMER
(Corvallis Gazette-Times)
Al has solved the farm relief problem. He did it just as Sol
omon would, promised to call a committee meeting as
soon as he is elected. To be sure, there have been numerous
committee meetings on the same subject before at ji which
economists and farm leaders tried to find a way to get the
buyer to pay as much per bushel for wheat when there was a
200,000,000 surplus a swhen there was no surplus. But they
never succeeded. But Al we know will have a way out. In fact,
we know just what it will be. Al is consistent. He solved the
prohibition question by saying, "It is a matter for the states
to decide themselves." So, why not solve the farm problem
the same way. Let each state take care of its own farm prob
lem. Here we want more for prunes and apples. Kansas wants
to pay less for prunes but wants more for wheat and corn.
Al will see at a glance that this is a state problem,- after
election.
But, we are somewhat intrigued by Al's situation in refer
ence to prohibition. He says it is purely a state problem.
That's the way, he says, that Jefferson would have solved it.
Well, that's exactly where it was until the states, by: a vote
of every single Democratic state in the union, gave it ' up and
turned it over to the Hamiltonian federal government.
!l
Referring to the above risibility from the Corvallis news
paper, it is not out of the way to assert that a broad smile
spreads over the fact of the country at Al's monkey-shines to
attract the favorable regard of the f armer
Orie friend at the writer's elbow suggesting that Al learn
ed all about farming on the sidewalks of New York, and has
qualified as a livestock expert
with the Tammany tiger.
John J. Raskob, high man
tion and Al s picked captain to
committee and direct his campaign, has assured the Itrusting
public that Al is a "friend of the farmer."
Of course, he is the "friend" of any one who has a vote;
for the duration of the campaign. The farmer has beim curs
ed by his "friends, far beyond any cursing he has ever suf
fered at the hands of his supposed enemies ; or the straw men
who are set up by many of his "friends" to throw hyperbolic
rocks at in order to advertise their own self admitted virtues.
Referring to such "friends" as the corsairs of the "Non-Partisan
League,' Sockless Jerry Simpson, Whiskers iPfeffer.
Smith W. Brookhart, Magnus Johnson, Al Smith, and all the
rest of thf- individuals and hordes of the hocus-pocus, the
farmer has much reason to
.from his "friends.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY.
Cat. July 20 (AP) Herbert
Hoover, the first resident of the
Pacific coast to carry the standard
of a great political party, returned
today to California to receive for
mal notification of his selection as
the republican presidential candi
date. It was a quiet home coming, the
death of Mrs. Hoover's father. C.
D. Henry, wealthy banker, having
made necessary the cancelling of
the celebrations which the people
of San Francisco and Palo Alto,
the university town, had planned
In his honor.
Within a few hours after they
reached their home on the rolling
hill overlooking the university
campus. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover at
tended the funeral services for Mr.
Henry at Stanford chapel. These
were conducted by Dr. A. T. Mur
ray, a Quaker elder, in the pres
ence of only the family and im
mediate friends.
Body Cremated .
After the services the body was
taken to Cypress Lawn cemetery,
far out from Palo Alto, for cre
mation, in accordance with a re
quest made by the aged banker
just before his death at a sani
tarium near Placerville, Calif,
last Monday night.
Circling San Francisco bay af
ter it reached Oakland, the Hoov
er special train, six days out from
Washington, picked up speed to
Palo Alto, arriving fifteen minutes
ahead of time. Mr. and Mrs.
Hoover were met at the station by
Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president
of Stanford university and escort
ed to a waiting automobile which
got under way Immediately for
Stanford with an escort of motor
cycle police.

black as she left the train. She
was helped down to the platform
by Mr. Hoover and held to his
arm during the short walk to the
automobile. They faced a battery
of c aim eras on the way and alsc
during the ride to their home, but
the picture men were barred from

over the town in anticipation of
the home coming. At the request
of the nominee these decorations
were removed two days ago and
there was no demonstration at the"
station.
Although authorities had ask
ed the town folk to remain away
from the station at the time oS the
train's arrival, a small crowd was
on hand and those composing it
stood at respectful attention while
Mr. and Mrs. Hoover were escort

No previous notice of summons

that the barrooms shall "not be

FAIRHAVBN. N. J.. July 20.
(AP) The broiling heat today
caused Tom Heeney. challenger
for the world's heavyweight cham
pionship, to suspend all training
activities. Instead ot walloping his
sparring mates, Heeney deserted
the camp as early as 8:00 o'clock
and spent the entire day on the
Atlantic Ocean in search ot a cool
ing breeze. He was the guest of a
rich Rumson resident on his pri
vate yacht.
Heeney was absent from camp
from morning until night and did
not even take his customary run
on the road. He was up. however,
at 4:30 o'clock to have a long
walk in the cool of the morning.
Rain this afternoon served tc
cool the atmosphere but it still
remained stifling hot. The heat
has been a constant annoyance to
the challenger. He dreads work
ing in the gymnasium because he
drops off weight so rapidly. He
melted off nearly five pounds yes
terday. "And I lost about six pounds
just watching him." said Jimmy
Hennessey, his trainer.
Tomorrow will witness the end
of Heeney's intensive workouts.
On Sunday, with the critical eyes
of Tex Klckard and JacK uemsey
on him. the challenger will bring
his hard work to a close. He will
do his last boxing on Monday and
will do just a little light work on
Tuesday with no training on Wed
nesday. If the weather turns cool
Heeney may decide to remain here
until the afternoon of the fight,
going to New York in time to go
to the Yankee stadium.
SETS H ROUGH
CHICAGO, July 20 (AP) In
stead of a wrestling match, about
1.000 spectators saw a fist fight
when Johnny Myers, former middle-weight
mat champion, and
Karl Pojello. the Turkish strong
man, met tonight. When it wa&
all over, the referee awarded the
match to Pojello.
From ringside, it appeared that
Meyers, who was making his ligh.
heavyweight debut, pushed hit
hand into Pojello's mouth. Hi
opponent counter-attacked with a
bite. Then Meyers started fight
ing and before the referee and po
lice could interfere, the wrestler;
were exchanging rights and lefts.
As the referee tried to pry them
apart, Meyers started to attack
him. The police strong-armed the
former champion, however, and
led him and Pojello out of the
jeering crowd.
