A GREAT SALEM INDUSTRY
Salem has lost several of its "infant industries," just
as soon as they were old enough to be weaned. They were
moved to Portland because freight rates and combina
tions were against them here. Portland got our Cereo
plant, our foundry and what it really needed in its busi-
ness, the coffin factory that started here. This demon
strates that Salem can rely only on one class of factories
as dependable, and safe from removal. That is the class
that manufactures products grown in the vicinity of the
city and that can be manufactured here the more cheaply.
Such is the Salem Fruit Union and its prune processing
plant. Such are the canneries, and even more solidly a
fixture than any is the King's Products company and its
big plant for dehydrating vegetables. That is here to
atay because here is the center of a great vegetable
producing section. Salem is just beginning to understand
the magnitude of this industry and to realize its import
ance to the city. A story elsewhere in this issue of the
Capital Journal tells briefly of recent improvements at
the plant and gives a slight idea of what it is doing. Some
idea of the market it is creating for Willamette valley
vegetables can be gained from that short story. With
the new machinery installed for packing cartons this
work has begun and a large order from New York is be
ing filled. The product is packed in ojince and a half
cartons and these are put up weighed, sealed, labeled and
ready for shipping at the rate of 28 a minute, 1G80 an
hour, 40,:$20 a day. Each of these cartons contains ma
terial for soup for ten persons, so a small sum in arith
metic shows that Salem is packing material sufficient to
, supply 403,200 persons a: plate of soup daily. Not only
' is it doing this but it is putting the product in such shape
that it can be kept indefinitely, and its bulk and weight
are so reduced that it permits it being sent to markets
that would be impossible, for the vegetables in their
natural condition. With this product Willamette valley
vegetables are made available for the boys in the trenches
of France, and they will prove a valuable addition to the
menu where vegetables are scarce or wanting entirely.
The company built its plant on the unit system so that ad
ditional units can be added as needed, and it has abund
ant room for any such additions as may be needed. It has
made a market for vegetables of all lkinds, and opened a
new avenue for income for the farmers who can be sure
of always having a market for all they can grow. It is a
big safety valve on the vegetable crop and will be a big
factor in solving questions of employment during the
winter months. Payrolls are what build up cities, and the
Kings Product company is a great help in that line to
ward Salem's growth.
The fourth great storm of the winter swept over the
eastern states Tuesday night and yesterday. It looks as
though the weather man was standing in with Mars in
order to keep the world still longer at war. However
this is probably the last great-storm of the winter, for
the season is getting so late for that kind of thing tha
even should another come the snow cannot lie long. The
combination so far though has sure been a hard one.
Samuel Gompers is about as level-headed a man as
there is in America and he speaks unequivocally in favor
of the war administration. He says: 'Never were the
affairs of the country in more competent hands than now.
He pointed out that one man power was the cause of the
present world war in "the kaiser who started something
he will never be able to finish." i

"When will it finish!" retorted her

"Did did you see a strange figure!"

"Ah. Then it wasn't imagination,"
he replied. "I bumped into him at tho

Napoleon said: "'An army fights on its stomach."
The Austrians have found this not exactly true, but in
stead that "an army fights on the civilian's stomach," and
the latter is growing decidedly tired of doing the fighting
in that way. - .
The Oregonian takes considerable s'pace to twit the
Oregon Journal about its silence in regard to the dispute
between the president and Senator Chamberlain. This
reminds us that the Oregonian has maintained a silence
about the Kerr salary, grab that is almost painful.
The 0. A. C. college paper undertakes to prove by the
Oregon Voter and the Oregonian that Kerr is such an
honorable gentleman that he couldn't tell a lie. Perhaps
they are right? In fact we doubt his ability to tell one
from the truth without an introduction.

MAY RE GOOD INVESTMENT
It begins to look as though that American woman who
loaned Trotsky $5 on the steamer while he was on his way
to Russia, in order to help him make the trip, made a
really good and patriotic investment. His statement at
the peace meeting recently has the right ring to it. He
said: "The revolution cannot live in an atmosphere of
deceit and falsehood. At this given moment the revolu
tion may not be in a position to repudiate annexations,
but it will not humiliate itself to call black white; it will
not cover up brutal annexation pretensions with the fig
leaf of democracy." Trotsky has seen through the
camouflage Germany has drawn over her designs and
seen the deliberate attempt to strangle Russia under it.
Peace negotiations are apparently at an end. There is
nothing to negotiate when Germany's true intentions are
uncovered and her designs on Russia disclosed. To
reach an agreement with Prussia means Russia would
have traded off a weak and foolish czar for a strong and
cruel kaiser. It would have traded King Log for King
Stork.
Secretary Olcott wants to pay a war income tax on his
salary. Kerr of the 0. A. C, as the highest salaried of
ficial in the northwest, might with good grace come for
ward and say what he thinks about the suggestion.
THE CHEERFUL MEDIUM
It's fatuous to whoop around, like wildly
optimistic chaps, and say that Germany is
bound, when we get busy, to collapse. It's
villainous to be a frost, a brooding .pessi
mist or worse, and shriek that everything
is lost, whenever we've a small reverse. It
seems to me the gents I meet are one or
t'other, all the time: one's optimism can't
be beat, one's pessimism is a crime. Ex
tremes are usually vain; from truth they
lead our feet afar; I wish my friends were
safe and sane, and that they'd see things as
they are. I'm optimistic when I think of
what the outcome's bound to be: I feel Quite
sure we'll put a kink in autocrats across the sea. I'm
pessimistic when I try to figure when the war will end,
and think of legions who must die before the victors'
hymns ascend. I m optimistic when I view our soldiers,
dauntless, full of fight, and know their hearts are brave
and true, and that they're battling for the right. I'm
pessimistic when I see the homes whence come the. ranks
and files, where women sigh most wearily, while wearing
imitation smiles. I see so much that grieves, today, today
I see so much that cheers, I'm smiling as I go my way, but
I am smiling through my tears.

ute. Baldwin never lets me read on tho
train. He is a regular gas-bag."
I said no more, and he finished his
breakfast in silence. When he said good
bye he remarked in a very casual man
ner:
"I shan't be home to dinner."
"Very well, I'll read that new book
you brought home yesterday,' but what
I wanted to say was, ' ' please don 't stay
out to dinner, and if you are determined
to do so, tell mo where you arc going
and who with."
Up to now it always had been tho
places he had spent his time, the men
with whom he associated with to whom
I objected. But as I thought of what
he had said of Miss Keating, the
"WHO WITH" took on an importance
I never before had attached to it, even
when I objected tho most strenuously.
For the first time I was jealous of a
woman. A woman whose personality
was so great according to Bob that ho
neither knew nor cared whether she
was beautiful or not.
All that I had read and heard of the
anguish, the, torture, a jealous woman
experienced occured to me. Also the
stories of upbraiding, espoinage,' etc.
A year ago I was willing to follow and
watch Bob because 1 didn't want him
to spend his time with what I called "A
Bohemian crowd." Now something new
something different had entered into
my feeling for him, something which
I never before had possessed; the desire
to be all that the woman he loved
should be. I knew ho would despise ut
terly a woman who would follow him,
who would stoop to any underhand
means to find out what he did. And as
far as upbraiuing went, that would be
worse than useless. He would simply
remain away from me.
Yet even with all these thoughts run
ning through my head I would not con
fess, even to myself that I had met
my Waterloo, or even that there was
danger of my mooting it. But there was
one thing I could do; I could question
Elsie. Perhaps if I know more about
Miss Keating I could better face this
now danger to my. happiness as I folt
her to be or more easily dismiss her
from my mind.
80 I took the next train into town,
and hurried, up to Elsie 's. '
"I have come for luncheon and ad
vice" I told her.
"Which will 5-ou have first!" she
asked, helping me remove my wraps.
"Luncheon please. I ate scarcely
any breakfast, and feel quite raven
ous. '
