WILL DRY 100000
BUSHELS POTATOES
Kings Products Company
Secures Contract From
Government

The Kings Products company of this
city has secured a contract from the
government for 600 tons of dehydrated
potatoes. AS the dried product is about
ono fifth the weight of that of the
raw vegetables this means that the Sa
ien plant will turn out for the govern
ment the equivalent of 100000 pounds
Tor lGe,GOt bushels of potatoes. This will
prove not only big lift for the new
plant, but also great advantage to the
growers of the valley who are long on
potatoes. The recognition of the Salem
industry and its products by the gov
ernment, is of inestimabie value to
the plant as it gives its products a big
market, and one that will spread the
fame of the Kings Products output. In
this connection it can be added that
the government has for once done a
sensible thing in the way of investi-
eating and investing in foodstuffs The
potatoes as prepared under this process
are SO nearly like the fresh vegetable
that they can be served as mashed. -
The product of this company will soon
find its way to the war fronts, for they
are practically indestructable, and their
weight is but fifth or less of the fresh
vegetable. They are ideal in every way
for adding to the soldier s menu, for
they put the kitchen garden in reach
of the trenches Of France and of every
battlefield Willamette valley vegetables
will do their part toward winning the
war, and if the Kings Products company
does not putt the "pot" in potatoe, it
will at least put the potatoes in the
pot, where without it, they would never
be.

CARELESS USE OF SOAP
SPOILS THE HAIR

X X X x X X 4 X X X X X X X
Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap OF any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. 1t makes an abundance Of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leav-
es the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified eocoanut oil at
any pharmacy. it Is very cheap, and a
few ounces will supply every member
of the family for months.

Another bit of most encouraging
news to have been received at Chap

There was a large attendance of
people at the meeting and exercises and
over 100 people were served at the

One of the big features of the enter
tainment was a Red Cross tableaux,
put ON by group Of little folks, on Of
which held cup in his hand and Of
ferings were placed in this cup to the
amount of $40. Walter Denton deliv-

cordial ovation. The other active pros

Principal A. N. Arnold Of the Liberty
school, and Mrs. Robins.

Chapter of the Red Cross, for the

NO CLUE TO AssAILANT

Deep mystery still surrounds the hair
clipping episode which is alleged to
have taken place at the Hugh Small
farm on the outskirts of the city a
week ago when Miss Lillian Rosheim is
supposed to have been attacked by a
hair cutting fiend.
Since the attack Miss Rosheim has
been on the verge of nervous prostra-
tion, but her condition has considerab-
1y improved at the present time, al
though no light has been thrown on
the matter and the man in the white
mask is yet unknown to the public.
The authorities have employed every
possible means of apprehending the as
sailant, but all to no avail. A sister of
the girl said few days ago that they
had a suspicion as to who tht guilty
party is, but no names have been men,
toned and no one openly accused. Miss
Rosheim says she believes now that
she had been followed by the same par
ty several times recently-Silverton

GOVERNOR WINS
IN CRAWFORD SUIT
Circuit Court Judge Bingham
Holds Governor Above
kandamuS Proceedings

Holding that mandamus proceedings
cannot be maintained against the gov
ernor to compel him to perform any
duty whatever pertaining to his office
Circuit Judge Bingham Saturday after
noon sustained demurrer to the writ
of mandamus in the suit brought by
Robert Crawford, former superIntend-
ent of the penitentiary flax plant,
against Governor Withyeombe to compel
the chief executive to approve the
plaintiff IS claim for $500 due him un-
der his contract with the state if he
made a financial profit of the flax bust
ness.
The merits of the case were never pre-
sented to the court, but only the ques-
tion of law as to whether the action
against the governor could be main
tanned. The records of the state, in the
office of the board of control, now
show that the state will make a hand
some profit from the flax crop which
Crawford handled.
Demurred Is Sustained.
The demurrer to the writ was ON the
ground that the court has no jurisdiction
of the subject of the suit, and that the
alternative writ does not state facts
sufficient to constitute cause of ac-
tion.
"The demurrer should be sustained
on each ground, - says Judge Bingham s
decision, for the reasons:
"First, mandamus will not lie to COM
pei the governor of the state to perform
any duty pertaining to his office, min
isterial or political, whether command
ed by the constitution or by some law
passed on the subject"
The second reason given is that the
suit indirectly is an action against the
state and the state cannot be sued with
oIt its consent.
Couldn't Enforce Order.
Judge Bingham points out that if the
court should issue the writ and the gov
ernor should refuse to abide by it, the
count would have no way of enforcing
its order because the governor COM
mands the military forces of the state
which are ultimately relied upon for the
maintenance of law and order. Quoting
from a decision by the Massachusetts,
court Judge Bingham says:
''It seems better to hold that, for
whatever he does officially, the gov
e1nor shall answer only to his own con-
seicuce, to the people who elected him.
and in case of the possible commission
of high crime or misdemeanor, to
court of impeachment. i"
In conclusion, Judge Bingham says:
"1 he question is not whether the plain
tiff is under the facts entitled to some
relief, but whether he is entitled to the
specific relief prayed for"

NITRATE FOR FARMERS
Cargo Stored at Wilmington Will Ra
Distributed to North Carolina
Farmers at Cost.

The cargo of nitrate of soda stored
at Wilmington will be distributed to
North Carolina farmers, the War De-
partment realizing the cost of the
product without any profit thereon.
states a Washington dispatch of the
Eth. Secretary of War Newton D.
Baker today notified Senator Sim
mons OF the action taken, the War
Department having abandoned it's
original intentions of selling the soda
to the highest bidder.
Cargoes of soda having taken port
upon the signing of the armistice,
stored at other South Atlantic sea-
port towns, will likewise be distrib-
uted to the farmers under similar stip-
ulation. Senator Simmons and other
Southern Senators joined in an appeal
to Secretary Baker that the soda be
sold directly to the farmer rather than
marketed to the highest bidder.
SO, regardless of the ultimate poll
cy Of Secretary Of Agriculture David
F.. Houston, in furnishing farmers
soda at cost, the North Carolina farm
ers can be assured of obtaining some
nltrates under the plan in operation
last season. 1t was not known at the
office of Senator Simmons the amount
OF the product stored at Wilmington
or whether it would suffice the needs
OF Eastern Carolina.
