I A KEWSPAPEIt IS A CITIZEN OF ITS COMMUNITY SALEM GETS IT. A RECENT newi dispatch from Salem Informi ua that Reld, Murdoch V Co., one of the biggest packing ooneerne In tha United fltalea, baa purchased the plant of the Kinf Food Prod uct Co, end will erentually operate It ae a cannery. Incident, ally, they hare announced that their Salem auperlntendent will be R. A. Yocum. formerly with the Eugene Fruit Orowere cannery here. There waa a time a food many months back when Reld, Murdoch t Co. were looking at Eugene aa among the posslbllltiei for locating a cannery. They were not very enthusiastic about Eugene, deeplle the fact that ao far a fruit aupply for a cannery la ooncerned, Eugene would be juat aa good aa Salem, In some wayi better. Salem la on navigable water. Though relatively little freight out of Salem movei by water, Salem has advantageous rail ratea by reason of Its position. Eugene Is still on the "Inter mediate" city rates which put a heavy extra charge on the Inbound and outbound movement of every cannery commodity .We feel sure that this Industrial handicap of Eugene and other Intermediate cities will be corrected and we hope It will be corrected In the process of the fourth section rata case now pending before the Interstate commerce commission. We are glad to see that the Eugene clearing house Is lending Its support to the presentation of the case. This Is not a fight with the Southern Pacific or the Oregon Klei-lrlc or any rallmHd nr group of railroads. In fact, It Is not fair to blame the railroads entirely for tha condition. The main trouble baa been -that the Intermediate cities have never really studied their problem or presented a real case till now. They have never sold either to the railroads or to the I. C. C. the possibilities of development under proper rate conditions. We believe that before long It will become plain that the biggest opportunity for the railroads Is In the development of the Intermedial territory along with the big water terminals on which so much of their attention haa beeu concentrated because of the big inroads of water competition. wy. A SUGGESTION. note with considerable Interest that In nearly every one the attempts to set a new world's record for endurance ,' flying east of tha Rocky mountains, tha hasarde of the firing hare been greatly Increased by bad weather. Robblns and Kelly on the last Bight of their record making flight at Fort Worth had to go many miles off their course In order to escape a bad thunder storm. Two filers in Minnesota have been forced down several timet by bad weather. Two filers st Cleveland have found It difficult even to get Into the air. Martin Jensen and his irlfe In their recent effort at Long Island were driven far out to sea by strong winds and only their remarkable skill and that of their fueling pilots made It possible for them to continue as long aa they did. Viola Gentry and her pilot, flying from the same field aa the Jensens, have been killed. Since It Is probably necessary for these Interesting tests or the endurance of planes and pilots to continue, It would seem ' to be the part of w!anm lo conduct them where weather con ditions are reliable, and there could be no place In the United States better for the purpose than Ihe Willamette valley In summer. If variable conditions are needed for the tost, we could aupply them In winter, but without the extremes of high wind and rain and tog which are encountered In other sections at any season. And there's no place In the Willamette valley with a better airport than Eugene. It might be a good Idea lo call the attention of some of the distance filers to the op portunities here and to the fact that they would be welcome. CUSTOMERS AND MARKETS. TNTERESTINO figures on America's foreign trsde are con A talned la a compilation Just Issued by the Central National Bank of Cleveland. This compilation ahowa that Europe Is still our best cus tomer, During the first quarter of l:s, Europe bought 147.480.000 worth of American products, selling us In return only 3!M19,000. England regained Us old place aa our biggest single customer, buying $1.16,(23,000 worth of goods, and Canada, buying t233.394.000, was a close second. In the realm of Imports. Asia proved our best market The Tnlted States bought 1324.367,000 worth of Asia's goods, and took 1264.427,000 from Canada. Mexico and Central America. These figures, remember, are only for three months. Their atupendous site helps one to realise the vast extent of our commercial operations. LINDBERGH TO PULASKI. pA.TB Is a reeling commodity.

The conflict took place at Gettys burg, Ps., between the Kedersl Army of the Potomac, numbering about SO.000 men, and the Confed erate army of iv'ortbern Virginis of 7.'I,0JO men. About 8 s. m.. Confederate end Federal troopr dashed. Both sides Buffered heavy losses during that day. The battle continued with mi nor conflicts until July 3, when General Meeds decided to hold the Kedersl srmy in the position then occupied until further attack. .Misconstruing this lull, the Con federste troops made one of the most magnificent charges known in mllitsry history. Advancing steadi ly In three columns in I lie face of a destructire srnllery fire, tbe Con federotes promptly filled up the great gaps cut into Ihoir lines b) Federal shells. Within iiOO yards of the Federal line they met the mus ketry fire of the Federal Infantry, which had been previously with held, The sdvance was utterly dc morsllzed. Soon tJonfcderste troops were In rspld retrest, their rsnks being en veloped by the Kedersl srmy. , iJurlng the three days' battle ths Federal army lost 3072 killed. 14, 407 wounded and M.'I4 captured or missing. The Confederate army, ac cording to official reports, which hsve been questioned, lost 'J.ril2 in killed. 12.7CK wounded and 5150 captured or missing. The battle is regarded aa the turning point in the Civil War. (VAl jar vea u s fl" orr SIDE GLANCES "Not that I like goldfish !

Daily Health Service If You Play Too Hard, Vacation Time Won't Really Rest You by t)r. MORHIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association nnd of Hygela, the Health Magasiue WITH the first day of June, the avorage person begins to think about the di.posal of bis time during the summer vacation. Long sgo the biblical philoso phers emphasised the value of a regular day of rest. More re cently the coming- of the fire-day wee, high wagea and the intro duction of machinery into indus try hare made a regular two days' rest ench week possible for many people and vacations, particularly for eiecutives, have been length ened to three weeks or a month. Much depends on the tempera ment of the person concerned. People who take the duties and activities of life lishtly need leas vacation tlinn those who work constsnllv with eoneentrmlnn .nrl ki i i i r it is tct&uti looijuumujjiurrj. Tliii average man thinks of hi vacation as a time in which he l going; to do a grout deal more in the way of playing of si certain type than he does ordinarily dur ing: his daily life. A man who plays IS holes of golf twice a week may play 80 holes each day for seven days. TIir man who gops touring on Sunday afternoon takes a trip lasting a week aad drives 400 miles each day. Obviously this is not the way to take a proper vacation. One should not work at playing when ho is trying to rest from work. It is just as important to' avoid overfatigue while resting as it is while working. Many a man hopes for the riay when he mar take a vacation alone. Tear aft.r year he em barks for the mouutains or the seaside accompanied by his wife and children aud the servants, and merely adds new responsibil ities to the old ones. It is a smart wife who realizes thnt such a vacation is not a rest for her husband.

As a result, the Inspection per sonnel of the buresu Is gradually being changed and it Is understood that of seven or eight inspectors and other liaison officers between the bureau or the department and the reservations, no more than one or two will be kept tin the job un der Ihe administration of Charlea Khoeides, the new Indian conimis eioner.
