There will surely be more building in the down torcn dis trict; and there are several fac tory projects on the tapis; and extensions of factories already here. - v Just now, dear reader, you are seeing a good deal of crocodile tear shedding in the Democratic newspapers over the deplorable condition of the farmers and others in this country, who must pay such awful prices for sugar, owing to the robber tariff And you will seenore of it before the flowers bloom in the spring, tra la; and perhaps after nature's vernal decora tion of the landscape. The Cuban sugar trust and the Atlantic coast refiners are attending to this; making timely provision for it. What 'this bunch of corsairs want to do is to have the tariff schedule on sugar scaled down, for which they have petitioned the Tariff Commission ; or have it abolished alto gether. j This would ave these commercial and manufacturing corsairs many millions a year ! And it would stifle and cripple and kill the beet sugar in- dustry of the United States. 'Then what would happen? ; Would the American people get cheaper sugar? U Not on your life. . 1 f These business buccaneers are not in business for their t health. Their health is good, thank you. : t This bunch of buccaneers controlled the sugar prices dur ing the war. "5Tou know what happened. You know what would happen again if they got into control. They charged all the traffic would bear, and then some And they would do it again. How much was it you paid for sugar to this outfit dur ing the war? - Was it 25 cents a pound, or 45? Any way, they soaked the people to whose gullibility they now are ap pealing good and plenty : ; rAnd they would do it again, and more so, if they had the chance. . f i So. dear reader as you scan these tearful articles in the Democratic newspapers, you may, refrain from any scalding ' tears of your own. The way to get "cheaper sugar is to further build up the ; sugar industr y ui this country. As things are now proceed ing, Salem will ere long buy her sugar from: her own factory This is as good a beet sugar district as the best sugar districts i of Gerjnany, and our fruit interests will be strong enough f pretty soon to get a sugar factory here. There were 450 convicts in the Oregon penitentiary yesterday. There were 34 working In the flax plant, and 120 or more idle, who might be working there, and who, if they were, and the plant were equipped for spinning twine, could be supporting the entire in stitution, besides receiving small daily wages for their own use or the u?e of their dependents on the outside or for the accumu lation of stakes upon their re lease. And earning a surplus be sides. And, more than thi3, be ing a most powerful aid for the development of tbe linen Indus try in Oregon; an industry that, when developed, will bring mil lions of new money annually to this state, and will alone support a city larger than Salem Is now. The fishermen on the Columbia river, and all up and down tbe coa?t, want the twin for their nets; the twine made from the pure Oregon flax, the strongest and most lasting In the world. CLEMEXCKAI7S IrESSAGE Georges Clemenceau, the man of steel, the ' great French war premier, has come and has spok en. Confounding his critics, he has committed no indiscretions. He did not rant. He did not scold. He did not make a plea for fur ther foreign loans. He did not say we had been wrong and France had been right. He simply said, "When people have been mixing their blood on the field of battle they have no right to laeve, if there is a differ ence, without tryine to adiust that difference." He had been told that the at titude of France since the war was misunderstood In this coun try; that the Americans had come to regard France as militaristic, with having imperialistic designs. He knew that there was a mis understanding somewhere, and he came, as a Frenchman who had learned his first lessons of liberty In America half a century ago, to seek a better understanding. Clemenceau paid an eloquent but not fulsome tribute to the k The spinning of flax twine at the Oregon penitentiary wonld show the way to Independent fac tories.' The product of all the available convict would be only ' drep hi the bucket of the great market demand. ' ; .A, number of additional men will soon be needed at the Salem paper mill, to run the new ma chinery. This will malte another house shortage in this city. And there will be a number of other reasons contributing! to such a shortage, notwithstanding all the new building activity. ' ' New residences are being start ed all over Salem. It looks like the building activity for 1923 will exceed that of the present FUTURE DATES Dcnbr 3, Saturday Bnur, St, PmI'i Okareh. 500 Chuaekot. December S, 8andy Elkt' annas memorUl tcrvicc.

Monday LertiUtnre meets part played by President Wilson in the war and in the negotiating of the Treaty of Versailles. He spoke of "a betutiful quarrel" be tween himself and General Persb ins during the 191 campaign. He holds that friends can argue, dispute and disagree without ceasing to be friends. He said he had since come to the, con clusion that "Pershing was right and so was I." which is another way of saying that each was right, according to his point of view. He said that, tf the French had known In 118 Germany's prom ises to make reparation payments would not be kept, they would have gone on to Berlin. He likened Germany's action to that of a man who signs a check and then withdraws all the. funds from the bank before the check can be presented. He expressed the hope that England, France and the United States would draw closer to gether; because the German mili tarists are preparing for another war. He would like to see the I United States renew conversa tions" with England and France, which, "without definitely com mitting your country to a set pro gram, WOULD PRESENT TO GERMAN EYES A PICTURE OF THE THREE UNPLEASANT FOLKS WHO FACED HER IN THE WAR." In fact, the crux of the Clemen ceau appeal is for a kind of "gen tlemen's agreement" which will let the German people know that the Treaty of Versailles Is some thing more than a scrap of pa per; which will furnish them a visible reminder that the nations who beat them in 1918 are ready to beat them again, if they start anything. Clemenceau has perhaps come nearer to speaking to Americans in terms which we can under stand than any other Frenchman who has come to America since the war. He gives evidence of having remembered the lessons he learned when he came here, as he says, "Fresh from the imperial jails of Napoleon III. to find there was another way of living, and a much better way." He makes his appeal not to the government, but to the people, holding very justly that, if the two peoples can reach a common understanding, any imaginary dif ferences between the governments will surely disappear. men can profit from it another jtend the nseof our natural senses instance of what is good for ( by artificial aids or replace int-m geese being good for ganders.

Quickness of thought means a clear mind. The boy who takes up basketball must make up hjs mind to eat regularly and1 give up all eating between meals. He must get plenty of sleep, 'and must never learn to smoke. Smoking affects the breathing and lessens his endurance, mak ing him tired out when the game is only half over.

He was enjoying his Thanksgiving visit to his uncle's farm so much, for everything about the farm was new to him. He opened the. gate and wander ed into the enclosure. His uncle had given him some feed to bring to the chickens, and this he scattered, enjoying the way the silly things rushed about. Out of one of the poultry houses stepped a stately gobbler, its bronze 'feathers gleaming in the sun. "My goodness, what a large turkey!" exclaimed Er.ic It looks as big as the side ot a first one, looking at Eric with a wickedly twinkling eye. "Exactly," nodded the second gravely. "I speak .for a leg." clamored the third, crowding closer. Well, I don't want the neck. that's certain," stated the- fourth grumpily. "Not much to the wines." chimed In the fifth. "Hey, you let me out of here." cried Eric, looking in terror at the red-wattled monsters, stand ing in a circle about him. He tried making a dash for the gate, but they hemmed him in. at enough," declared the first one. "With cranberry sauce!" gob bled the second. .r "And dressing!" added the third. "Done Just right!" exclaimed the fourth, flopping his wings. "Yum, yum!" smacked the fifth. Closer they crowded, until he felt hatf smothered. "Eric," called his uncle's voice, "come cp for air!

He backed off, as, to his surprise, another enormous turkey came out. "Well, this ts funny! ' I thought. Uncle Ralph said he'd sold all his turkeys, except the ones we had for din ner today." He started for the gate, but the two turkeys headed him off. waving their wings back and forth in a threatening manner. Then,4to 'his horror, three other turkeys came out and joined the, first two.
