" "Practically; 90 per .'-cent:' of the 95,000,000 barrels of Portland cement shipped last year was delivered in returnable cotton sacks. i ' I TTo supply users of cement promptly, the industry must tiave about 200,000,000 sacks either on hand or in use. J f T "The sack method of shipping is most convenient. There are four sacks to a barrel. Each sack contains 94 pounds of cement a cubic foot? And a cubic foot is a handy volume In proportioning concrete mixtures. "When the cement 13 shipped, the sacks ara billed to the purchaser. When they are returned, they are bought back at tBe same price if they are in usable or repairable condition; This involves vmuch work in checking, cleaning, sorting and repairing: y "I "But in spite of the fact that every good cement sack is redeemable 30,000,000 of the sacks shipped every year fail tO'Come back a loss of nearly $5,000,000 a year at present prices of new sacks. . .' f - To replace these 'lost, strayed or stolen" sacks re- quires annually over 30,000 bales of cotton. It requires that the textile industry weave a strip of cloth 30 inches wide and 17,000 miles long.. It means that 1,600 looms arevkept work ing full time for a year. ? ! "Thousands of sacks returned to the cement mills for redemption are damaged, yet accepted for credit, if they can be, repaired. ThisTepair-is done by the cement manufacturer at; his. own expense. !

A ! tnan. starting with the- ball has an advantage over one who starts' a ! moment after ; the ball Is : passed. : Vi Tbe' player should have a, gen :, eral . knowledge of where the op i posing, tine man Is; located;' but he should , never look directly at h'm. because he doesn't gain any thing by so doing, and loses his opportanity of watching the ball and starting with it. One of the most common ! faults of line men is that' they fail to watch the ball. end the opposing players are ac rnFs the line of scrimmage before they are.'.and have hit them be fore they are started. ; '';:-"' Keep Rack RrraJight ; :: .

The direction of the charge Is upward' and forward; and a man who has a bow. in his back. can easily be thrown out-of direction either by shoving - his head to the ground or by pushing him aside. .

The other foot should be placed about two and a halt feet behind the front foot,, his toe pointing out. and his knee bent. The weight o' the body" should be well distributed on. both feet. J';.t V.

The big things f jr any line man to keep la mind are: Watch the SALEM, OREGON There is millions annually just ahead of the people of the Willamette valley, in the development, of the flax in dustry . In making twines and linens from the finer fibers; 3acks from the second grades; tow for upholstering, seed for its various uses, and cow feed from the chaff. - The penitentiary can be supported from the flax indus try, with money to spare towards the expenses of the other state institutions, all of which my be engaged in some branches of the industry, too And all this can be done without competition with free labor; and besides showing the way for the profitable em ployment of scores of thousands of well paid laborers on the outside. Is the above a dream? If it is a dream, it is one that ought to be made to come true. And it can. be done. The biggest thing in Oregon in dustrially is flax and the people of this state are going to see it some day ; perhaps soon ; the sooner the better for all of our people. If you know anything for the good ofthe ft raw berry. Industry, end have not been asked to write it for The Statesman of next Thursday, please write it and sind it in. It Is your duty. It I Important. There is no reason why tba Salem district should not realize trillions a year from the straw berry Industry. Tell The States man what you know about it. for next Thursday's paper. The way to build up Salem is to keep boosting our basic indus tries, and patronize home indus tries. The flax industry at the peni tentiary can be made to pay all tho expenses of that institution, without costing the taxpayers of Oregon a dollar. Besides paying farmers good prices fo rtheir flax, and furnishing pure flax twine to the fishermen, hop men, grain men and others. And sacks, too, and finally linens to the trade. And parts of the industry can be operated profitably at the other state institutions. And In this way the coming great flax Indus try, the biggest in all Oregon, can be encouraged and built np.

Many times a back is able to make a brilliant play which results in touchdown, just becuse the line man knew how to charge properly. I THE SHORT STORY, JR. . i NAN'S WANT AD It was that hour late In the af ternoon when the noise and bus tle of the day had softened Into a gentle buzz. Everything was in order at the Jane Price Orphan age, and at last Nan .Goodhart had a moment to rest. She stole softly into the gloom of the red plush parlor and sank into one of the stiff, high-backed chairs, de signed for long-legged trustees, but not for orphans. E Nan picked up a newspaper ly ing on the floor where the last truetee had left it. It was open ed to a page headed" "Want Ads." Did people print in the paper when they wanted things? She had never known that. Why couldn't she advertise tot a new mother and father? It would cost money, but she had aixty-seven cents. Nan thought that if she could get a new mother and fath er, for aixty-seven cents it would be a good investment. She de cided that she would try. at least. So, clutching her sixty-seven cents tightly in her hand she started off for the newsaper of fice. A tall, kind-looking man smiled at her when she .timidly knocked at the door. Be'ore she knew It she was seated beside him telling him how she longed for a mother and daddy and she want ed to advertise In his paper. She placed the sixty-seven 'cents on the desk In front of him. ; "You wouldn't like Uttle gtrl. would yon?" she asked haltingly. The b' editor's arm went. around the little girl's shoulder and drew her to him. . ; ; "I surely would.' he said, bnt we have two boys now." Nan drew her. breath with a catch. It would be too much to hope for brothers, too. i&ti&ms R2 , The next day a messenger rang "No shade, no shine, no butter flies, no bees, no fruits, no flow ers, no leaves, no buds, Novem ber." Read up on your Tom Hood, bnt the English poet was describing November in his own country or back East, for there are all kinds of shade, shine, but terflies, bees. fruits, flowers, leaves and buds in the "Willamette valley. A PROMISING CANDIDATE Major J ohn Jacob Astor, In running for. a seat in the British parliament, is impressing on the electors that he is "bringing American money to their coun try." How to get more American money to Europe Is today the chief Issue ""'over there" still waiting solution. If Major Astor can do this he ought to be good for any office he cares to ask for. CHILD OP AGE FAVORED Careful research is said to have established the fact that the child of a father over 50 years of age has ten tmes as good a chance of becoming eminent as he would have if his father were a young man. OPTIMISM OF OLD AGE Former United States Senator Cornelius Cole, of Los Angeles, exemplifies the optimism which seems to be the common charac teristic of centenarians. They leave to youth the worries of life and Us pessimistic forebodings. "1 hear much alarmist talk,' says the lively and alert old Califor nian. "Sixty years ago men said the country was going to the dogs, but it didn't seem to, some how." He could find numerous cur rent examples to controvert his cheerful theories. Certain coun-J tries of Europe appear, outwardly .at least, to have gone to the dogs. And there is a sufficiently sub- Etncom PLAT vrosx Edited by John H. Millar at the Jane Price Orphanage. The superintendent called Nan and placed a heavy envelope in her hand. Nearly bursting with im portance, she ran off to her room to open it4 Sixty-seven cents fell out in her lap. Her eyes grew big in aur. prise.. "My dear Nanl'Vthe let ter began. "We have decided not to print your advertisement. Mrs. Bell and I have come to the con clusion that our boys need a lit tle sister. Jf you can be ready by three o'clock we shall call lor you."- .JNan jumped np with starry eyes.

But almost any kind of rever sal of human conditions is possi ble 'in a century, and the opinion of a man who has lived that length of time is to be received with due regtrd for that fact. Sixty years ago the country which men said was going to the dogs had just regun the Civil war. which, ! Zzr from rending, 9, was to unite it to enjoy a new pros perity. What sixty years may do for the rehabilitation of Europe may be left to the prophets ol pessimism to predict and to the centenarians of future genera tions to controvert. At least the time has not yet come for Macaulay's New Zealan der to muse on the ruins of Lon don Bridge. And as against the dire forebodings of Mr. Wells it is profitable to c:te the hopeful ness of this centenarian opaimfst. GAMBLER'S ITCH Georges Carpentier and Henri Le Tellier of Paris are said to have obtained the soviet conces sions for certain gaming i Rus sia. They wi'.l reopen a couple of the late czar's palaces as temples of Fortuna. Le Tellier was the friend of Peggy Joyce and al ready has gambling concessions at a number of European resorts. He would aid Russia to his string and figures that Carpentier would bo a good associate for the enter prise. It is understood that only Frenchmen, Englishmen and Americans will be permitted to rlay and then only in gold. The soviet rake-off will be heavy and it Is desired that th's shall be in American coinage. Then the lead ed s will know that they have something. Americans who visit any of the Old World capitals are pretty sure to be frisked. Now is the time to see Amer'ca first. KIND WORM Editor Statesman: Election is past and the smoke -f battle has blown away from the field. Our impressions are still somewhat vague and con fused. - The late campaign has been largely one of vituperation, abuse and mud-sllnging rather than of cool sane argument as to right and wrong. But one pleas ant after-thought remains. Through all the confusion and fog The Statesman has kept its leditorials clean, from all person alities and has been dignified and open to all sides. It is almost an exception amongst the' papers with which I am familiar, in this particular. And, for one, I wish to congratulate you upon the fact. You have abused no one, and have confined yourself to the issues under discussion. "Your paper is worthy of wide support for this reason. SUBSCRIBER. Salem, Ore., Nov. 10, 1922. RADICAL LABOR REBUKED Labor extremists Just notv seem to be entirely out of favor with the plain people. On the top. of he extraordiny triumph of the FascistI in Italy over the radicals and Socialists comes news of the municipal elections In England which have nearly obliterated the British Labor party. In 191! Labor won 573 seats in the Lon don councils, it retains only 253 Never before In so short a time has" a British electorate so com pletely reversed itself. At last tho tired taxpayers are cpeaking their minds. Costly So cialistic experiments that do noth Ing but spread Idlenss and pov erty and discourage thrift and ef fort have worn out the patience of the Britifh burden bearers. Dan gerous Communistic doctrines that led to the illegal seizure of factories and workshops and dis organized industry roured tho wrath, of the ung bloods of Rome. In both cases radical prop aganda has recoiled on those who attempted to throttle inddua enterprise by forcing extreme measures on the people. The most enthusiastic support rs of Socialistic experiments and hare-brained theories of govern ment are the quickest to experi ence a change of heart when it is brought home to them that they must help pay the bills for run nlng the show and playing the new game. It is one thing to express a extreme opinion on public rights and private wrongs. It is some thing quite different to back up those opinions with half your own earnings. The truth of this has come home to the British tax payers. FACETIOUS FASCISTI Italians sometimes display a primitive brand of humor very refreshing to thore i Jaded by a too-long contemplation of the serions... Moreover, they cater to a sense of the ridiculous that is sometimes the "test J weapon for SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 11. 19 advancing solemn and purpose ful ends. There was nothing funny aboul the way in which the Fasclsti seired the reins of government in Italy, and the results of this seizure mav be far from comical for the balance of power of Eu rope. Yet by interjecting some jazz passages into their grand opera movement the FascistI have, without a doubtj toned up the whole composition. Thus whtn they chevied the Communist deputies through the ttreets, shaved thCr Bolshevist whiskers and painted their shorn pates with the national colors they probably did more to knock out anarchy in Italy than the cov ets did to promote it in Russia by terror and bloodshed. They have made their adver saries look ridiculous in the pub lic eye. In addition they hare escaped the pit into which the too melodramatic D'Annunzia took an ncontinental header. After all, it is better potty to cut off an enemy's beard than to cut off his head. The first makes him look foolish, the second makes hlra look like a martyr. current newspaper, writer declarer that had Oliver Cromwell cut off King Charles beard instead of bis head England today would prob ably have been a republic.

Willful Deception Costs Ex-husband Loss of Suit That a man who will wilfully deceive his first wife into believ ing that he is still single, when his second marriage has not yet been annulled, cannot expect to consider contracts made with the innocent party as valid, was tho decision handed down by the cir cuit court yesterday in the ca30 of William Alf vs Anna, Arthur and Hazel Alf.
