SALEM'S LINE OF DEVELOPMENT
Berinnine of active operations by the Salem-King's
Products company is a valuable addition to Salem's plants
for preserving and saving of perishable fruits and vege
tables especially the latter. With the Hunt Bros, cannery,
the Salem Fruit Union, the Oregon Packing Company,
Giles & Co., and the Loju factory, more than six hundred
are employed, for at least several months each year. This
is one industry that Portland cannot take away from us,
for we are at the source of the raw materials. It would
seem that it is along this line Salem must reach after
mils and more "factories." There is no sec
tion of the United States so adapted to the growth of all
kinds of vegetables as the Willamette valley, ine baiem
TTinrr'a Prnrlnrts ComDanv. realized this in selecting Salem
q0 ira ppntml nnint It has studied the situation and
' knows that all that is needed to furnish it all the raw
material it can handle is to get the ground planted.
. Thousands of acres, the very best land for vegetables, are
lying idle or not producing, in returns, anything like they
should, and these planted to vegetables will not only bring
money to the grower but will give employment to hun
dreds in Salem and be a valuable factor in her develop
ment. With another unit added to the Salem-King's
Product plant it will mean the employment of not less
than 500 persons by that company alone, and this unit will
be added and another still with it if the business justifies
it. This depends entirely on the growers and the supply
of raw material, for the market is' unlimited.
The Stanfield Standard has just mailed a 150,000 issue
boosting Speaker Robert N. Canfield for the governor-!
ship, or if that is not satisfactory, then it urges his nom
ination for U. S. senator. "This is the first gun of the 1918
election campaign, but there are several others loaded and
ready to shoot on the least provocation. Governor Withy
combe is not averse to seeing his name at the head of the
republican ticket for state offices next year. It is rum
ored that he is in fact making eyes at the voters in the
hopes of getting the wink to "go to it." Portland has a
candidate and a pretty strong one in Gus Moser, and Gus
is some campaigner. He has a strong backing in Port
land, and many friends throughout the state. Secretary
of State Olcott is being pressed by his friends to make the
race, but has not officially announced his candidacy. Some
time ago State Treasurer Kay was mentioned as being
willing 10 give up iour years oi nis time to holding down
the gubernatorial chair, but lately seems to have dropped
out oi it. nowever, you never can tell. Besides these
there are innumerable dark horses but mostly of the
bnetiand pony breed.
Former Senator C. W. Fulton and State Senator S. B
Huston, of Multnomah, are said to be active candidates
for United States sena.tor, opposing C. L. McNary, the
governor's appointee for the place when Senator Harry
Liane aieq.
On the democratic side the crop of candidates is light.
ine only one suggested so tar, is the eastern Oregon
democratic leader named for the place by the Capital
Journal yesterday; Walter M. Pierce. Judge Bennett is
mentioned occasionally as a possible leader, but the bee is
not buzzing very loudly in his head-piece. The fact that
candidates are being suggested indicates the near ap
proach of the election. Four months more and the pains
oi political maternity will be troubling the state again.

Dr. T. Masao, chairman of the Japanese parliamentary
mission visiting this country, says "Japan will stay with
the United States in her war with Germany until the last."
Undoubtedly she will for having made a promise the
Japanese will stand by it. The Japanese have not yet
reached that stage of "kultur" where a solemn treaty is
looked upon as a scrap of paper. It may be necessary,
and certainly would be helpful to have Japan put a couple
of hundred thousand troops on the Russian front in the
spring. If they were there now a different story would be
coming from Petrograd.
The cold wave that struck the middle west also visited
Oregon and its garden spot, the Willamette valley. The
difference is that while reaching well down toward the
zero mark in other places, it was only cold enough to put
the tomatoes out of business and kill some of the flowers
in the more exposed places. There is still plenty of out
door bloom here, while east of us everything that was not
protected was frozen solid. For the season it was a record
cold spell.

more notes and suggestions from Count Luxburg to his

Rippling Rhymes ji

MY CAR
I used to have, in other times, a roll of green
backs handy; I always; could dig up the
dimes to buy the kids some candy. And
when my wife reared up and cried, "I have
to have a bonnet," I stripped an X off and
replied, "Go blow yourself, doggone it." But
now I never have a plunk lor anything
we're needing; my money goes for costly
junk to keep my auto speeding. But yester
day 1 soaked the lyre that 1 so long have
hammered, that I might buy a rubber tire
for which the off wheel clamored.' We're
out of flour, we're out of coal, my wife is
in a panic, because she sees me use mv roll
to pay a bum mechanic I need a haircut and a shave, I
need a shirt and collar, but how the dickens can I save
when spark plugs cost a dollar? The kids have reached
an evil pass, they need new shoes and raiment; alas, the
man who sells me gas demands an early payment. My
auto takes my every red, and chugs with fiendish
laughter; 'twill keep me broke till I am dead, and forty
years thereafter. And when I quit life's griefs and pains,
I can't afford a casket; they'll have to rake up my re
mains and plant me in a basket. 1

Both Bob and I had other friends and
acquaintances; quiet, refined, domestic :
Bort of people who I was positive would '
be better people for Bob to be with than '

and artists he seemed to enjoy. I must
invite them to the house; Bob had spok

be.
As I look back I expect I was rath
er of an anomaly. For a.i that I was
so quiet, I loved Bob with an Intensity
which constantly demanded the expres
sion, not only from myself, but from
him. I wanted to be caressed: to be told
was loved.; to be kissed aerain and
again every time he came home or near
me. Bob often didn 't seem to appreciate
this, and would talk for a long time
about some book ho had read, Borne
one whom he had met and who had
told him an' interesting story before
he would embrace me, or givff"me the
wished-for kiss.
The longer we were married the more
I longed for this outward expression of
love. My whole world revolved about
Bob, Donald and my homo. I tried to
make home attractive and know I suc
ceeded. Had I known enough not to
have nagged Bob simply for attention,
and because he was not always amen
able to my wishes, I should have had no
story to tell.. For there were none of
the terrible things some women have
to endure then in my life; no 'other
woman', no drunkeunoss. no gambling.
Bob was a gentleman in every meaning
of the word. Yet I must needs try to
make him conform to my littlo plan.
The night of tho party came and
Bob came -home early to dross. I had
determined to say nothing against his
going; to take tho abused wife atti
tude. But when I saw him looking so
handsome tho light of anticipation in
his eyes I couldu 't help it. .
"So you arc determined to got" I
asked. ,
"Certainly." I
"I shall have a very lonely even
ing." ,
"If you do it is your own fault, " he
said not unkindly; then gave me a quick
kiss and was gone. '-' t
The hot tears filled my eyes as the
front door closed. But I brushed them
away and taking the magazine Bob
had told me I should find interesting, I
sat down to read.
Oddly enough I commenced a story
of a mismated couple. The wife a gay,
butterfly sort of a creature; and he
uian a quiet dignifies, sort of a man.
But he loved the butterfly passionately
and allowed her to have her own way.
Bhe spent her time with gay people
oi whom he knew nothing, and the end
of the story was a divorce and disil
lusionment on nis part.
If ho had insisted upon hat re
maining quietly at heme with him, it
wouldn't have ended so." I said aloud
as 1 finished the story.
It seemed strange that I should Hap
pen upon just such a story. It strength
ened my determination not to give in
to Bob in the matter of his Boneinian
friends. If I did our lives might end the
same way, I thought with a shudder.
About one o clock 1 commenced 10
feel sleepy, but I had no idea of going
to bed until Bob returned. I went into
the kitchen and made a strong cup of
coffee, and diauk it and ate a sand
wich. Then once more sat down to
read.
It was after four o'clock when I
heard Bob come in. .
"What in the world are you doing
up!" he said as I greeted him.
"It is my duty to stay up and wait
for vou. If you insist upon going to
places where I do not care to go; or
where I do not think it lor our happi
ness to go."
"Bosh!"
"No. it isn't bosh! I shall wait for
you always," then as he made no repry
we went to bed in silence, i naa deter
mined before he came home not to ask
him a single question about the even
ing; not to show the slightest interest.
Elsie would be sure to tell me an aooui
it the next time I saw her; and I would
not let Bob think I bad any desire to
hear about it.
Kisa me good night, Bob!" was au
said, and half asleep he gave me
the desired caress.
