200 Feast and Hear Talks
On Fpfure of Ind ustry A t
Big Dehydration Banquet
Dehydration and what the King'
Products dehydration plant will tio for
Salem was brought to the attention of
more than 200 business men at a lunch
en served last evening in the plant on
North Front street.
That the business and professional
men might really know from actual ex
perience what dehydrated fruits and
vegetables will do for the housekeeper,
the luncheon consisted largely- of the
King 's products, including dehydrated
beans, potatoes, squash, spinach, pears
and the special home products of, dehy
drated loganberries and prunes.
T. B. Kay presided as chairman and
in his address stated that although tne
ing the cost of a can of stringiest beans
and a carton of dehydrated beans, he
said in the tost of food values, that a
30-cent can of bean had only a 11-ounce
food value, while a 35-cent carton of
dehydrated beans had a food value ot 23
ounces. In other Iruits, after caroiui
tests, he had found the cost of dehy
drated foods fully SO per cent less than
canned goods. And for this reason, he
felt, confident thatjn time, the. King's
dehydrated products would be used ia
every household in the country.
. August Huckestein called special at
tention to the fact that with a anuy
drated plant in Salem, the five and ten
acre farmer would have a chance as
there would be a ready market for his
WiluoUe valley could beat California products. He also referred to the ad-
for K Ue and could produco every

ionai x building up as there was

cali ,. r ention to the fact that in the
pasl ? Er the King 's Products company
had S ibuted in salary in Salem $125,
000 i "5 had paid out for produce $iJ25,
OOOj i . - - . . . .
B wing to the fact that already
land S les had almost doubled within
the
Bix months, Mr. Kay said:
pred-jj ,hat within ten years this insti
tution will do more to build P Salem
than all the other interests combined. I
confidently expect that in time Salem
will be a city of 50,000.';' -

vantage to Salem of an increased pay-

products to be used here.
C. P. Bishop said the King's Products
had a right to ask for the co-operation
of Salem men and that from an invest
ment standpoint, ho had the greatest
confidence in the three Salem directors,
Charles A. Parks, I. L. Patterson and
M. L. Jones.
M. L. Jones predicted that within ten
yoars the plant would be distributing
annually $20,000,000 for products raised
in the vicinity of Salem. He referred to
the great question of markets for prod
ucts and the lack" of such in the. past,
With markets established such as the
King's Products plant, he predicted
that the land in this part of the valley
would reach values even greater than in
the famous parts of California. -.?,-

,Very few changes have been mado
in the teaching force of the city
schools Superintendent John W. Todd
announced today. With a total of 110
teachers for the fall term of schools,
thore are only 14 new ones in the high
sehool, only 0 new teachers in tho throe
junior high schools and but 12 new
ones in all tho other schools.
All school buildings aro now being
placed in eondition for the opening
day September 29. All teachers have
been engaged witn tne exception oi
one, that of the physical culture train
ing teacher for the boys in the high
school.
.One of the new features in teaching
this year is that of part time schools.
These schools are for those under 18
years of ago who have not completed
the eighth grade. They are compelled
to attend school nt least one nour a nay
if employed, and this is taken on the
employer's time. Theso backward pu
pils arc given special teacners ana noi
placed in regular grades.- Miss Marie
Barber will bo in charge Of'the teach
ing of part time school.
Tho problem of housing the tearhert
is receiving some attontion from the
board of education. It is probable that
the domestic scicnee house just south of
tho high school building will be com
pleted at once to afford rooms for eight
or ten teachers.
Hunerintendent John W. Todd will be-
fourth acnool year in ouieiu.
of work has been such that the Sales
schools are attracting much utteuiiou in
the cast and Columbia University of
New York City has made frequent ealta
upon Mr Todd for information. Tho
vocational work of the schools under the
Smith-Hughes act has attracted the at
tention of educators and superintendents
in Oregon. .
Mr. Todd has alsp introduced bis sys
tem of teaching art, music, penmaa
ship and playground work, by whin
each are taught by swcialists, instead
of by teachers handling the regular
grades. Instead of 50 or more teaehers
instructing in these studies, by the new
system eall this work Is dono by eight
or ten who arc specialists and who gie
sncciul periods to the different school.
Superintendent Todd has fonnd that this
system gives vastly better result. inr-
the old. " ' -
