FRUIT
GROWERS
UNION
Decided Saturday TO Not Sell
Cannery Product for Less
Than Three and a
Half Cents

The Salem Fruit Growers Union
voted Saturday to sell canning straw
berries at less S1s cents pound at
the cannery Many of the large grow
ers signed up an agreement to this
effect, and Mfslager Holcomb, of the
cannery, refuses to accept these
terms. but offers to 3A for canning
berries. AS this means the best VIII
son and Hood River berries, the grow
ers will not net over 80 cents a crate
for the berries after the expense of
picking. Many of the growers are de-
termined not to deliver berry at this
price. They cannot pay pickers de-
cents wages.
The cannery management is trying
to make contracts for entire crops of
canning berries at 3A cents, and Mr..
Holeomb said Saturday to some grow
ers that, if he could not get the ber-
ries at that price he would not operate
the cannery, but take whot was
offered at that figure, and ship them
to his Portland cannery and yet Sa-
lem produces the finest cannery straw
berries in the world. This looks like
hold-up for the grower, and amounts
to saying that Mr. Holcomb will only
take what he can get at sacrifice,
and thus help break down the price
all around.
Secretary Kyle is spending several
days among the growers, trying to
get them to stand for better prices,
and wait until the canneries at Port
land and Eugene, that are anxious to
get the Salem berries, will make an
offer. The Union will not readily lay
down to the demands of the Holcomb
canning trust

If You Have pyspepsla. Read rhls.

If You Have Dyspepsia, Read This.
The old way of taking pepsin, bis.
muth, etc, to cure dyspepsia is all
wrong. They may be put up in tab.
lets or liquid, the result is just the
same. The object is to create arti-
ficial digestion, but this does not make
cure. Stop taking the pepsin, etc.,
and you have your dyspepsia or indi-
gestion back again. People use CO
caine or opium for nervous troubles
and sick-headache, it does not cure,
stop taking the drugs and the pain and
distress return. The only common
sense method is to drive out of the
system the cause OF dyspepsia and
sick headache by cleansing the stom-
ach and bowels, at the same time u.s.
ing medicine that will act on the liv.
er. This forces through the glands Of
the stomach the digestive fluid that
nature intended. In this way you
cure dyspepsia. The medicine that
cures dyspepsia by this method is
called DR.. Gums Improved Liver
Pills. Druggists sell these pills at Csc
per box. It only takes one Of these
pills for dose.

EpigramS of the Man Who Came Before the Public
When Panama Was Born Are Often Quoted

He went up like a rocket but will
come down like the stick" This was
the way some Of the enemies of NJ
Bunau-Varilla, the minister from Pana d.
ma, expressed themselves when the
French diplomat with the hyphenated
name suddenly hove into the field Of
public affairs at Washington to play d
meteoric part and as suddenly retire
again.
But. has the minister come down like
a stick? In most quarters a decidedly
different view Is held. If he shot across
the diplomatic sky, they say, his deeds
were such as TO leave a trail OF sparks
behind. and with the people of Panama
those sparks will endure and ne will
become a fixed star in the armament or
history
Spake in PARALLELS.
It Is appropriate TO express the diplo-
