There are -27 pigs and over 1400 chickens, which will help to solve the food problem. The Matheson endowment fund lias been established from a part of the legacy left to the home by Mrs. Rachel Matheson of Salem.

People lived normal, quiet lives, at plain, wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh air and sunshine. But even that early there were drastic physics and purges for the relief of constipation which Dr. Cald well did not believe were good for viman beings to, put. into- their irstem. So he wrote a prescrip tion for a laxative to be used by his patients. ! The prescription for constipa-J tion that he used early in bis prac tice, and which he put in drug rfores In 1892 under the name oi Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, Is a liquid vegetable remedy, intended for women, children and elderly people, and they need just such a mild, sate, gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup Pepsin. Under successful management this prescription has proven its worth and is now the largest sell ing liquid laxative in tbe world. The fact that million of bottles ere used a year proves that it has won the confidence of people who ueeded It to get relief from head r.ehes. biliousness, flatulence, in digestion, loss of appetite.- and sleep, bad breath, dyspepsia, colds and fevers. . i Millions of families are. -now never without Dr. CaldweU'Syrr up Pepsin, and if you wtyl once start using it you will also" always, : tn See the Wonderftil SHOE i STYLES Qf Pair BUSTER BROW STORE All New contributions for - tbis - will Jbe gratefully received, the committee announces.

It should, be repeated that mass production - and -mass distribution applied jto industries are tbe unwritten laws of the age in which we lire, it is by tbis rule of success that men like Hen ry rford work, by .which and for which Arthur Brisbane, the high est paid newspaper worker In the world, is paid. The nickel-pincher in community building has seen hi, day. ' The big, modern busi nessman looks at people and ro- duetioa In tbe mass,' and as the ef ficient individual he always thinks o't ' service to thd misses' .of hu manity. " j Let it be known that as an out sider and disinterested party, the writer thinks the time has come for this communty to acknowledge its obligation to .give"' The. States man credit for what it has acebm- pnsned In helping transform an old Willamette valley town into a modern, humming. Cosmopolitan hive of industry, where municipal and industrial growth cannot be recorded as fast as it is actually taking place. In spite bf the sleep ing sickness that overtakes even greater centers of industry, called a presidential campaign, there has been no let-up on building the new and greater Salem, even surpass ing the building record of 1927, and no shut-down of any line of industry. The slogans! for new in dustries have appeared regularly each week and fhe constantly in creasing volume of building rec o'rda goes on. One of jits greatest 30gans "is loyal suppor of ail the people to a progressive, efficient city government. I Some of us recall our own par ticipation in organizing a cooper ative fruit cannery and pledging ourselves to plant and Cultivate at least 200 acres of strawberries to start the first fruit pajbking unit, and how there are nowj, eight can ning and processing bfrry estab lishments and acres jof berries growing into. thousands in all di rections into the adjoining coun ties. Tbe slogan idea has taught these communities to j appreciate and see the value of advertising themselves as the-"cherry city of the world," "the mohair center of our country.

It is particularly pleasing to know that most of it is bought by mothers for themselves and the children, though Syrup Pepsin is just as valuable for elderly people.

New Bargains Styles jz- fYV center, of the world," all slogans j first expounded and reiterated Ixing genius who .invented tbe con juring value 1 building industries and enlisting organized capital for industrial development. . ' As an industrial leader and pro moter, Mr. Hendricks has the hap py, hopeful genius that believes in iteration, reiteration, and like con tinuous, drops of water wearing away the hardest rock, arousing the slowest intellect to action and awakening -enthusiasm In the most apathetic brain. Oregon had a rep utation at one time of being a slow community and not arousing eas ily to rapid expansion. But by. his., genius. , for ceaseless repetitions. and optimistic improvisations,. Mr. I'endricks sold tbe indifferent Wil lamette valley communities on his idea cf an endless variety of slo gans and adaptable concepts lead ing , to - founding raw material sources of supply 'on the farming lands, and these then requiring payroll industries to work them up into desirable and tempting pro ducts for the world markets. " In other words, he sold the rich productive soils and the Inviting climate for fruit growing,' veget able crops and Intensified farming until the people gained confidence In ; slogan industries. ; They bave learned to believe in the value of their soils and the .transforming power of payrolls In community building; i This process of educating men and women to believe in them selves .and the productivity of their lands and the possibilities of their manufactures, has added millions of dollars annually, and even monthly totbe financial sta bility and high capitalized content of the Willamette vaCey. Today there is not a region known for fruit growing, truck gardening and special crops like peppermint oil, with a greater reputation for being suitable for Investments of Treat sums of capital on hundreds jf lines all the way from making m ported limburger from Ger many and Roquefort thriving on fungus shipped in sealed metallic packages from Belgium. Editor Hendricks has made the Willamette valley the indigenous home of the industrial slogan in entIon,the prize package awferd ng the inventive ingenuity of hu nanity whose attention turned '.o this fruitful region. Go into the Statesman office and examine the files of the Daily Statesman, to say nothing of the special industrial journals he has gnided and published, some of them at a loss, like the Poultry Journal, the original: Pacific Homestead, ' the branches of de partmental publicity covering the various breeds . of sheep, angora -?oats, dairy cattle, swine breeding, horse and Shetland pony raising in all lines handing out tons and acres, of statistical information. advice, encouragement; starch fac tories, beet sugar factories, water navigation, growing potato seed. establishing steamboat and barge lines on the Willamette river ringing the changes and everlast ingly repeating . the basic facts about all these industries and the possibilities of them until the dumbest and the blindest believed in this country, and this valley, and this county, and this city, and when a movement started to cap italize an industry people were more ready to become stockhold ers and invest good hard capital and dig up ready money. Which subjected him sometimes to ridicule, as is the over-enthusiastic man or woman who be lieves and becomes an exponent in new lines of super-zeal and en thusiasm, that have only begun to overtake the slower pioneer you might be induced 'to smile at the Sloganmaster's versatility'and sometimes his volubility, but you could not, if you were his severest critic or worst enemy, (if he .ever had one), doubt his sincerity and bis tireless industry in the up-i building of new avenues for em-j ployment, new opportunities, for investment and new hopes and consolations for those -who had faith in an imperial valley flowing with milk and honey and better opportunities for a higher state of industrial prosperity. If you want to Judge for yourself, whether yon are the slowest moving mossback In. tbe state, or the keenest new comer or home seeker for oppor tunities to better conditions, read this statement of a substantial business man who has returned to Salem after an absence of 3 5 years in the swiftest and most substan tial city In the west San Fran- cisco and who tells what he finds in a community he left then with a population of 7.000 and returns to find a city of 25.000 to 30.000. - Mr. Jay C. Smith, who comes from. a progressive state and a progressive city, was very much Interested in the causes of this tremendous growth of the Oregon capital, both, as a city and as an Industrial community. No better illustration of . the growth and progress of the capital city can be found than a mere statement of tbe prices for which he sold bis teal estate holdings about 30 years ago. Tou can contrast them your self with present values, s.

Mr. Smith is an official in the accounting department of the ntvmnic club In San Francfsco and has grown with the commer cial and business Interests in Cal ifornia and knows the state as few men. do. He was delighted and enthusiastic with the progres of Salem, and says that as a beau tiful residence city and a rapidly growing Industrial center, there is no town of its size in the west, in cluding his own state, that com pares with it in rapid growth, building progress, or a payroll enter. Organized in'-ltl0 p On all Furnishings for SPECIALS ON niranerware welcome to credit on "Tour city owes a debt of gratf tude to R. J. Hendricks for his long battle to put Salem on the map, and he has certainly done It." concluded Mr. Smith. The Salem properties enumer ated by Mr. Smith of San Fran cisco, as having been sold by him and now reluctantly acknowl edged, would be found valued to day In the aggregate, without Im provements, at near half a million dollars. When the slogan campaign started about eight years ago there has been more or less under taking to found the production of flax fibre production for some sev en years. But it went forward spasmodically. There was no pri vate investment or production of flax or scutched product or fiber. Today there are two private linen manufacturing plants, a linen mill for weaving cloth, and a twine mill, and there are scutching plants. In production for 1927 there were 2000 acres grown with a crop of flax straw of 3000 tons. This year all told there will be 6000 acres, and estimated 15.000 tons of straw. There will be a number of private scutching plants and more privately owned linen cloth mills. ; The .way. prir vate and public interest has re sponded to the demand for the. in troduction of the flax industry is gratifying. Flax has been a slo gan industry. Mr. Hendricks has more than done his part to help establish tbe industry.' Tbe same results could be stated -truthfully jf scores of new ' Industries pro moted at Salem In like manner. The dairy, industry with Salem as a slogan district has shown gratifying results from-Mr. Hen- drlcka activity as a promoter. Dal- ry owi are worth, from $$0 ,to 1125 per head and several ear-1 loads - per week are exported to Aug Z3 (CONTRACT GOODS EXCEPTED) any purchase you make LARGEST FURNITURE other states. Dairy sloganing shows dairy products in all forms to have Increased at about four hundred per cent, and eight es tablishments at Salem instead of two eight years ago, and several wholesale factories and shippers. SalenxJs a city of growing produc tion in .all lines. Sloganizing shows more results in -growth wholesale and retail In all Indus trial lines than by any other sys tem of promoting and publicity, or any other community can show of a similar character, and slogans are Mr. Hendricks' own invention. He deserves not to remain un known when you are asked to give causes for growth. The Statesman slogan pages will be found to caver the greater Industries like dairying, poultry culture, flax, prunes, apples, woo and mohair, lumber, paper, and vegetable canneries under score: of distinct headings, as Mr. Hen dricks teaches community devel opment on larfe and small lines Cucumber culture for pickles, cab bage for sauerkraut, tomatoes foi catsup, mushrooms for gravy, strawberries running to 4.000.00C pounds annual crop for canning jumping to 12,000,000 pounds It cold frozen pack, $20.000.00f worth of poultry,' eggs and Incu bator hatch, the latter shipped out by mall, fiery red cherries for maraschinos valued at $1,000,000 it is impossible to name and es timate ' tbe wealth ' produced by products that cannot be named in one article, that have been treated on. the Hendricks slogan pages, an Invention of community publicity that has in eight years probably doubled the wealth of a slow-go ling, substantial and conservative farming and manufacturing com- annuity.
