Tlio ghoemcn ay there are no hides, and daily leath er grows more rnre;- and so the price of footwear slides ten paraaangs up in the air. The clothiers say there is no wool, the sheep are dead and on the Ice; it takes some influence and pull to get a' suit at any price. The bakers eay there is no flour and bo the chil dren have no bread, and we are weep ing every hour because our hopes are lying dead. The barbers say there are no barbs, and we must let our whiskers grow until they spread like noxious yarbs, nd wave and wiggle to and fro. The grocer says he cannot groce for less than 'ninety-five per centr he sees the sheriff drawing close when profits sink, Is his lament . And so things go, from day to day, the whole blamed world is out of plumb; but let us all be blithe and gay; cheer up, the worst s yet to come. The worst will dome, and then thesslump, the big re action will appear; and we will eanj to the dump the pirate and the profl- teer. ' A CURE FOR RADICALISM. Odds and Ends Here and There "In some "parts Of Africa a man doesn't know his wife until after he has married her," said Mrs. Gabb, as she loked up from the newspaper, she was reading. "Huh!" replied Mr; 3abb. "Wiy mention Africa eapeclally?" Cincin nati Enquirer. ' . , The Musio that has Charms Ile-i ''Most glrlB, I have found, don't ap preciate real music."

The Wise Doc A member of ft na , tlonal medical association tells the following story at the expense of a physician: "Are you sure," au anxious patient once asked "are you sure that I will recover? I have heard that doctors have kOmeUiuos given wrong dlagno es and treated a patient for pneumo nia who afterward died of typhoid fever." . , - "You have been wofully misinform ed," replied tho physician Indignant ly. "If f treat a man for pneumonia, lie dies of pneumonia." Hurper's. 8he Guessed "Robson, do J'ou It now why you are like a donkey?" the Jester queried. "Like a donkey?" echoed Robson, opening his eyes wide. "I don't." ' "Because your better half is stub bornness Itself." The Jest pleased Robson Immensely for he at once saw the opportunity for a glorious dig at his wife. So when be got home he said; ' "Dear, do you know why I am like A donkey?" , ' He waited a moment .expecting his Wife to give it up. But she didn't. She looked at him somewhat pityingly as she answered: "I suppose it's because you were born so." London Tit-Bit HOW Australia has thwarted the bolsheviki movement and allayed industrial unrest is described by Mark Sheldon, Australian commissioner to the United States in an interview published in New York. He dwells on the prevention of strikes through the Australian arbitration system, the failure of the one big union movement and suppression of I. W. W.ism. Among other things, he says; "A wholesome factor against any extremist tendency is the fact that the skilled laborer usually, has his own house and grounds, 'obtained from the government under liberal arrangements. This gives the worker- a selfish in terest in the maintenance of order and stability." The Australian government directly aids. people to become home owners by financial assistance under ; the theory that land and home ownership makes for stability and responsibility. The radicals and anarchists'are gen erally property-less and have nothing to lose. When they have acquired property, the incentive for revolution departs. ' -' The Australian plan was called socialistic a few years ago, but we are all acquiring broader ideas of the func tioning of government, which exists for' the benefit of all. It was the fashion to dub anything that, meant the welfare of the masses "socialistic", but. : anything that spelled profit for the classes, was highly -respectable statesmanship. : ' For years we levied preferential tariffs for the bene fit of certain manufacturers, who by government assist ance became multi-millionaires at the expense of the peo ple. This was deemed a proper function of government, but a proposal for the government to assist the toiler in acquiring a home and thereby giving him a' vital interest in the government, would have been hooted down. :. -Yet it is a recognized proper function of government and has been practised for a century. France owes her stability and unity as a nation to the policy of assisting the peasants to own their little farms. Our mvn government is planning similar assistance to returned soldiers in the soldier settlement reclaimed land bill, and similar assist ance could be extended all. citizens. ; - The value of home owning as a stabilizing factor is recognized by the more enlightened employers, who in many instances have built modern towns for employes, in which every employe is given, opportunity to own his own home. It is such harmonizing efforts, such co-operation on the part of capital, that provides the best possible cure for bolshevism. If the federal government would loan for home-building, on long time and low interest, as it now loans to farm owners, a small portion of the cost of the war, it would go far towards allaying, industrial unrest and assure an era of abiding prosperity. ' SALEM'S OPPORTUNITY. ORGANIZE BIG CORPORATION FOR r (Continued from page one) ACCORDING to the Portland Journal, the metropolis is ,v still asleep. Some 60 days ago" a large manufacture ing cdncern in the middle west asked co-operation in im proving a site for the erection of a plant employing a large force of men and turning out half a million dollars worth of manufactures a year. The assistance has hot been forthcoming and the manufacturers have ;optioned a site in a Washington city where the citizens are alive to their opportunities. This instance is .only one of many that explains clear er than words, why Seattle has distanced Portland and why Oregon lags behind in the development of the north west. Junkets of jobbers and rose carnivals 'will not de velop the state or secure industries; . . Portland's indifference to fate should, however, be Salem's opportunity. Every natural advantage that Portland has, Salem enjoys. ' Factory sites are abundant and cheap. Power is plentiful, resource abundant. The smaller cities are generally to be preferred to the larger ones for manufacturing, on account of" labor conditions and lower living costs. Let Salem go after these indus tries, co-operate in furnishing sites, show as much enter prise and energy as the cities of the northwest and there is no reason why Salem should not become the manufac turing center of Oregon. HUNTING A HUSBAND By Mary Douglas 4c u . ABB MAE TEW m ;: V -as. ' rt ea.ima ' me if I w"Uj doin' 0.9 well as some folks, V ,oclt myself In stead o' walkin out," said llnky Korr, t'day. Mrs. Lib Pash has a new paid la mull dollies wringer. THE SKARCrt J2NDS 1 woke this morning to ft llV world. A world of sunshine and blue sky. A world whose very happiness makes me love everything. My cramped little room, find the cool air blowing my curtain. ... .. . . . . . - "I nm loved," I thought to myself When r put on my fresh clothes. I hummed It softly, as I brushed my mouse-colored hair. ..Mr slate.colored eyes are no longer dull and hopeless. But shining with soft lights and dark with Joy. And this Is I Sara Lare, I did not hurry down to work, -The deliolous feeling of going elowly, -of being late perhaps for the first time In my work- a-day life. For I shall not stay long. Even today I must tell the manager that I roust leave. For I nm to be married." .. To think It should be Tom! And yet, who elsi in the world, hut Tom, could it bet Tom, who pulled my braids when I was twelve. Tom, who went to high school with me, carrying my books. And Tom, whom I have not soon so much of in these last years, Tom loves me, How he laughed, when I told Mm of my quest. And said: "All girls do tbot." But I know one great fact: If I had never gone hunting a husband, I would I not be engaged to Tom now. A year ago, I member Tom's word' 'You'rt so business-like. Sara, nothing myster ious about you!" lie would not say that now. And yet how have I won TomT It was not he, I went in search of. Yet I know exactly how I did win him. And I shall be frank encuigh to say: I was plfthi. "Sara Lane: business woman' was stamped ah o-ver me. And first I made myself as physically attractive as I could. I r 'sted. I brush ed my hair and studied tho way tM which It would be most becoming to me. Then I wore it in that way. 1 saw that my nails were not cut short; but deUcately shaped and polished. And I took time with my clothes. Very few, I had. But I planned them care fully. And put tham on even more carefully.. I studied other girls. I saw that the attractive ones were graceful fem inen. I took the best model at hand. I copied it Then I studied men. Men so differ ent from each other. Oneiy one, I found what would appeal to them. learned that mere beauty was not all. That personality can go even farther. I made them talk about themselves. I listened. I flattered subtly. I let them talk. And I flirted a little. Unconsciously, I did these things with Tom. He was my buffer. And I used him to lead on other men. And National authoritative : sources are unanimous in the opinion that prices will not be reduced but a very small percentage over several years ' with the result that it is believed that the present offers as good an opportunity to commence building operations as next year oe later. It is not the purpose of -this com mittee, td go into the matter: of why prices of materials and labor have ad vanced 'as they have, . but rather to take' the face value of tne present rates and act accordingly." : : Build lit Present It has been asked, "Does it pay to build at the present time, or is it a wise investment to build now?" To these questions this committee replies that to build with the purpose of sell ing is as good today as ever, if not better, because of the keen demand for homes. It has been necessary in recent months where new houses were under construction to place the notice "This house is not for sale or rent," owing to the large numbers of en quiries received from prospective purchasers and renters. The accompanying plans are of the type of house most in demand today. They will cost, with, say a $500 lot, $3250, 15 'and Ja750, respectively. Such properties, to pay interest on the investment, covering depreciation and' taxes, etc.; would have to be rented at least for $2 a per month a little higher rate than has been cus tomary Jn Salem. . , . ; ; Itouse Plans Submitted Plan No. 1 is a bungalow 26x28; has front porch, entrance hall with closet, living room with fireplace, dining room and kitchen with the us ual built in features, two bed rooms, bath room, back porch and full base ment with furnace.

Considerable sav ing could be made where the base ment and furnace' rare 'eliminated. At a, low estimate 3M houses, are re quired and their erection should be commenced without delay. Concerted action should be taken at once to see them; built if Salem is to progress at the rate she Is being called upon; '' The public service corporations and :Other large employers of labor in this city might also be appealed too, to interest and assist their employes in building their owA homes. This serves as a dual purpose; first, it means an increase in the volume of business and second, home owning will in no. small degree stabilize the.4a.Bor sltua tion and greatly, , rptluoe large labor turn over, ' . . . . . Cnmnatgn freed Therefore, we feel' that a building campaign be formulated and launch ed" aS soon as practicable. - (We state "building campaign." advisedly, as there will shortly pe something more than houses required, additional school accommodation is necessary, even now, and will be more so next season owing to the many families who are sure to move in through the Inducements Salem is offering. Also attention should be given to the con? struction of a modern hospital in this city.) . Thexcampalgn committee should be composed of men and women who are possessed of great civic pride and unselfishness, as it will be an arduous and thankless task, the only reward being accomplishment. The organiza tion should be financed for the home building In such a way so that where necessary purchasers may buy on the installment plan.

GIVES CHEER AT LEWIS For the Red Cross, the war did not end with the armistice, and even yet there are thirty thousand soldiers and sailors still under treatment In army and navy hospitals. The Red Cross convaleaceril house at Camp Lewis stands next to home itself In the af fections of hundreds of boys who, sick or wounded, looked forward to the day when they might leave the bare and cheerless ward la the base hospital and spend part of each day enjoying its easy chairs, Its music, its books, its pictures, and its good cheer. Even now, a year after the armistice, there are overseas men, patients at Camp Lewis, not yet well enough to be dis charged, who sit before the great fire place these autumn days, thankful that The Greatest Mother is still mindful of them. The picture Is duplicated in army hospitals all oyer the land, and wherever throughout the world Amer ican boys are still in Uncle Sam's service. Another week of favorable weather will allow the state highway commis sion to compelte the macadamizing of the Pacifio highway at Divide. Count Fifty! Pains And Neuralgia Gone Instant relief!
