THE FLAX PULLING It Will Be at the Thomason Place All Day Today, i on Some Riper Flax The flax pulling machine was put to work on the farm of its in ventor, Jos. Bartosz, a mile east and south of Turner, on the Mar ion road, yesterday, the manufac turer, Mr. Tenney, being present; also a lot of people interested in the industry, including officials of the, penitentiary. ' It was found that the machine 3Id not work as well as expected, and the men in charge said' this was because of the fact that the flax on the Bartosz place was' too green. t .t ' , So the machine will be moved, and it will be worked all day to day on the P. E. Thomason place, nearby, where there are some fields of flax that are riper, and ready to pull. In fact, Mr. Thom ason haa already commenced pull ing this flax, by hand. , So has an other grower in that neighbor hood, who has early sown flax. ; Of course, this tryout of the machine is attracting wide atten tion among the flax growers. They know that if the- -machine will not do the work, they will be under" the necessity of getting enough help to pull their flax by hand. This wouldl lake a lot of help, and there would be a great scurrying for hands.. A Canadian Machine ' j There is no doubt bat the prin ciple in the Bartosz machine is right. If it does not prove entire ly successful this year ,it will no doubt be brought . to perfection ' for next year's crop. ' There is also a aCnadian ma chine that is said, to be successful.; and the manufacturer is trying to get an order from the penitenti- -ary authorities to send some of these machines over.

MACH NE AT WORK w SATURDAY MORNING, JULY? 14, 1923 PROWLER SCARES SLEEPY GIRLS Police Matron and Night Of ficer Called Big Cat Is1 Arrested Did you ever, while you lay and courted sleep on a rre and sul try night, hear the soft and steal thy "pat, pat, pat" of footsteps just outside your chamber door? Did you ever rise and 1 vainly peer. without getting within range, seeking to see who this stealthy prowler might be? While a score of Salem maids, busy lasses, every one all the live long day, while . they slept or sought to slip away into the land of nod. each heard on -.Thursday night a guarded, stealthy step on the hot black roof just outside their chamber windows. First one and then another garbed' herself in robe and mules and slipping on dainty bits of lacy caps, sought the counsel of each other in the hallway just outside their chamber doors. Remember, these were business girls accustomed to doing things without hurry or panic. Said one, "This is the business of the police; let us call Mrs. Coe." . Forthwith they calmly put in a call for the police station, and Officers Coe and Smart responded as good police matrons and police men always do. . - ' Now, being business girls, and .never missing anything of impor tance which pertains to the mat ter in hand, they had discovered, by careful listening, that the prowler had sought the safe re gions of the rotof , above their heads in preference to that outside their windows. Officer Smart having been In structed minutely as to the prob able location of the one sought. and with his faithful "billy" clasped tightly in his hand, brave ly mounted the back stairs which leads to the roof. All was silent, while Officer Coe waited below to give aid' when the villain should be brought, down. Finally she heard a loud thump and a thud- Then again all was silence. After a seemingly indefinite time. Officer Smart marched down the stairs preceded by a large, black tom-cat which weighed ten pounds, according to Mrs.' Coe; These efficient business maids, having disposed of the matter' in hand, turned -their attention to that which was of next ; importance a 'night's sleep, , The clock struck 12 o'clock, Friday, tho 13th. And quiet reigned in the YWCA-4 on a still hot night in July. . Mrs. Coe did not state how she weighed the cat on such short notice. i California Governor Not to Tour Oregon The trip of Governor Richard son of California and ms state highway commission which was scheduled for July 23, and which was to be continued through the state of Washington with the gov ernors and . highway oinciais or Oregon and Washington has been indefinitely postponed.
