The president, in his conclusions reminded the nation and the world that "the whole essence oi war is aesirucuuH, it is the negation and the antithesis of human progress. No good thing ever came out of war that could not better have been secured by reason of conscience-7- And that "every dictate of humanity constantly cries aloud that we do not want any more war. . We ought to take pverv precaution and make ever great, to prevent it. Still, the first law of progress re Squires the world to face facts, and it is equally plain that reason and conscience are as yet by no means supreme in hu man affairs. The inherited instinct of selfishness is very far from being eliminated; the powerful. "The eternal questions before the nation are how to pre vent war and how to defend themselves if it comes. There are those who see no answer except military, preparation. But this remedy has never proved sufficient. We do not know of any nation which has ever been able to provide arms enough so as always to be at peace, t Fifteen years ago the mostthor-ono-Mv onninned neonle of EuroDe were Germany and France. We saw what happened.

It was worth while for President Coolidge at this time "lest we forget," to remind the people of our country, and thnsp of all the nations of the world, that our outlay on ac count of the world conflict, in were not in the least directly er than that of any other nation. . Words well spoken at the opportune time, by the man best fitted and most fitting to speak them. Armistice Day, An Appraisal rpEN years is a long time for the world to retain its present A confused thinking concerning the significance of Armis tice day. Yesterday's events were conflicting in emphasis. There was the confusion in the minds of many between ren dering deserved honor to those who made the sacrifice de manded of victims of the Great War and honoring the terri ble war itself. v Here and there were romantic youths thinking how won derful it would be to so win the applause of their fellows. Voices were raised to declare that preparations should be speeded so that another war would find the United States rondv to nlunire in to win fame and fflory. There were many boasting voices heard concerning how the United States alone was able to save the cause of democracy. But not all had for gotten the world hunger for peace experienced in the fearful hell of war. To such Armistice day was the opportunity to plead for world peace. So as yet we do not seem sure, whether the day is dedi cated to the promotion of peace or war. In our country Me morial day, which came out of the bitter experience of the. Civil War, has widened with the years into a day df national memories of all its service men and should include those of .the last war rather than having a special day for them alone. We have no right to set aside a day which glorifies war. If the day is to become a national day of commemoration it must widen its scope and become our day dedicated to inter nationalism. This world will be free from war and the bur de nof armaments- when its international relations are as effectively cared for as are the interstate relations in a fed eral union. ' The League of Nations and the World Court Were born in the hour When the nations knew that another war would destroy civilization but were rejected by the United States in a strange spasm of fear and provincialism. It is no longer a matter of theory but of fact that relations of nations have grown so intimate that their essential inter-relations must have common control and 'direction or there remains a con stant danger of war, - - . . Denials of this fact are no more convincing than the of fer of the old woman to sweep back the in-coming tide with her broom. Such treaties as the Kellogg Peace Pact are fine, but largely meaningless in face of international crises unless the international governmental machinery develops, and keeps pace with the increased intimacy of present day rela tions among the nations. ' s Our Strawberry Cult SALEM is developing a number of cults; and this is one of the most encouraging marks of her progress. We hive the paper making and processing cult, the mint and celery cults; the nut and hop cults; the flax and prune cultfj and a number of others ; , Including our strawberry cult, in the growing and pro . cessing of this berry; old as history, but brought to the greatest near perfection here in the requisite qualities for the canning and cold pack supplies for tne country s mar kets. ' Before' 1926 we were canning here about a third of the nation's supply of strawberries in this form. That year we went to four million pounds in production; jumped to twelve million last year, and exceeded that volume the present ; year - And we are sending about bv the cold pack routes.
