BEET SUGAR FACTORIES IN OREGON .The above heading is misleading. There are no beet sugar factories in Oregon. But we should have a number of them. . f . The Los Angeles Times in its issue, of last Sunday said: "No industry in California offers vaster field for immediate expansion, so far as production is concerned; than the sugar beet. " Both as regards the growing of the beets and their manufacture into sugar, CaHfornia, especially in the central , and southern valleys, - stands .ready for immense , increases. Only a small fraction of the land available and suitable for .beets is being used" ; ; ; KXfj u.lu,-- -M . ,And California already has 13 out of the 106 beet sugar factories in the United States, f r';,. r .f v? " That State has Ino . better land for the production of sugar beets than Oregonnone that will grow a sugar beet with a' higher sugar content than can be raised Jn the Willamette valley. . Jt ' ' ! This is no idle boast,"' , V; . The statement Is backed by experiments covered b a series of years. Such experiments have been made under the direction of the Oregon Agricultural ; College-,; u vk And they were made, too. under the direction of the Mormon syndicate owning and operating jnbst of the 19 beet sugar factories in Utah, and the 18 in Colorado, the nine in tldaho. and some in California, Montana. Nevada and Wyoming. - . ; "r-. 1 - - ' h" P r t : ' - Representatives of -these Mormon sugar growing and manufacturing interests came ta.Sklem just before the break ing out rtf the World war," in 1914, and put up to. some of the businesslmen of Salem the idea of building a sugar factory here.?

Providedthe beets could be had "at the then prevailing price's throughout the western territory - U - And provided the beets could.be had at all ; for they said there would have to be contracts that would stand up for at "least 5000 acres of beets and the great'difficulty would be the securing of that acreage to-be grown fa farmers who could be sure they could get the necessary help ; especially at thinning time. They said also at planting -and- cultivating and harvesting times but machinery has come in since .1914 that makes all the processes ; easier 1 than they were then excepting the thinning. This is hand work. It is back -breaking worlr-v V ' J '' Ji.

Nere is a movement all beet sugar-factories.

We have before.ua the Septem ber number of "The Lariat," quite fittingly described as a monthly round-ap of western dis cussion and criticism, devoted to higher standards of literature on broad cultural lines of express ion.

The book reviews are sympathetic, but at the same timo Illuminating. There issno attempt to use superlative adjec tives.' but there is an attempt at careful analysis to enable the reader to form an Idea of what the book itself Is like. We ex pressly like the discussions : of poetry and poets. This depart ment shows a keen appreciation of . poetical instinct. Some of the poems show merit. The cleverest poem. Is ! entitled.

The appeal of such a magazine is nec essarily limited to a small num ber of people, but all people, in cultural things, can afford to lend a hand to Col. Hofer and his co workers. The Lariat makes for a finer Oregon. j; : . CARELESSNESS ' : There are a good many auto mobile accidents and a lot more near ones. They are practically all the result of some one's care lessness. A careful driver never has an accident' and it is his own fault; and two careful drivers. on the road never run together. Carefulness is the first quality of an automobile driver. It is what everyone should study and In issuing the license, it should be the primary requisite. THE FIRST BUY The state of Oregon now owns the first flax ' thresher L in this part of the country.

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE CHAPTER 389. . WHY MOTHER GRAHAM'S DE CISION RELIEVED MADGE. Woman-like, I anathematized my own loquacity when Dicky made bis off-hand proposal to telephone the Durkeeg about the ' plans of Jim and Katie. If I only -could have kept my dismay over the1 sit uation to myself; I railed at my self bitterly, be never would have thought of telephoning. .' Or my particular little "4evll seized the opportunity to whisper in my ear was he .perhaps alert for any excuse, any opportunity for communicating with the house where Edith Fairfax lived ? Sub consciously I was aware of the absurdity of .the suggestion, know- ng Dicky's temperament and that if he wished to telephone Edith Fairfax he would make-an op portunity and not wait for one. But when is a woman ever reas onable, or indeed quite sane when her jealousy is aroused? v I dared make no objection to the scheme, for fear Dicky might suspect my feeling. But Mother Graham had no such scruples. "Have you taken leave of your senses?' she shrilled. . "Spending all that ; money Just ; to find out what that ape is going to do! If she doesn't - come on one train fhe'll come on another. All you've got to do is get ready for her, though why you couldn't let her clean a place out for herself after she gets here is more than I know. You're just ' beginning to pamper her here, as you always have and always will. I suppose, until she gets mad and leaves you in the lurch some day, just when you need her most." Just a Jest. : K ' Wisely, I made no answer to this tirade, whtich sounded far more unieeiing tnan it was. Mother Graham would no more have allowed tired Katie and Jim to come to the filthy rooms at the Dacey farm without first having them cleaned than I would. But she had to have her little growl first. -'? : ) V.I ' "What do you say, Madge?" Did. I imagine it, or was there amused comprehension of my mental state in my, husband's mind. At the thought I turned' hot and would not have made 'any objection to his proposal if . I bad known an actual elopement .with Edith Fairfax was at the end i of it... ii. . : .- - "Why. I think Jt would be a very good scheme," I replied se dately, hoping there was; no sus picion of a tremor in my voice. My mother-in-law snorted. "I wash my hands of both of you!" she said, her tone indicat ing the acme. of disgust. "Jerry, Ticer, what are you standing there for? You know i your : smother wants you in the kitchen so she can get through her work and go over to clean those rooms in I the farm house." j "Yes, ma'am." Jerry grinned, ducked his head and disappeared, evidently as .unconscious of the rebuke as he had been of Dicky's mockery. "Come along, Madge." Dicky rose from the breakfast table abruptly. "You've eaten enough breakfast for two women. -You'll be getting fat if you don't ; look out, and then you'll lose your hus band. I give you solemn warning now- no jewels and double chins for me!" I laughed appreciatively, as only a woman whose tendency it is to be thin can at words like that from a husband. But Mother Graham, who is comfortably cushioned, although trim and com pact, glared at him. Dicky Is in Trouble. ! ., i - -i-t ' i "Is there any other insult you would like to offer me before you .go. Richard?" she said ' icily, and her face was white with anger Dicky's jaw dropped in dismay, and, the smile fled from my lips. Neither of us. had thought how the reference would, affect his mother! : "Oh, my sainted aunt!" Dicky exclaimed wildlv. "Mother, dear. you know I didn't mean a single thing by. that nonsense. You haven't jewels -or a double chin, and, besides, old ladles Ought to be fat, anyway. They're cross when they're skinny. Now, when I; get white whiskers and TSadge gets white hair I'm going to. de velop an alderman' stomach and shall demand at least two double chins from her."

It Is a good idea to make a selection ' of books from j lists which your teacher, librarian, or other person who. is a critic of what is suitable and interesting for girls to read, may give you. The paper book house you see here-becomes a record of your reading when you write or print on the top of .each page the name of a chosen book. Thus "Treas- ure Island' will occupy the page opposite "The Prince and the Pauper" or the "Llfe of ( Alice Freeman Palmer." The remain der of th- page may be filled with, a list of characters in the book a short synqposis of the story or your reason for liking or not-liking the book. Make the book house cover of books drawn freehand on it. Col or the books if you like and fas ten in the pages with clips. Or you may take a five-cent notebook and cut' it in the, outline of the house. I THE SHORT STORY, JR. A Scout's Sacrifice The fat Boy Scout's weight was a ... load', : - "-' .
