" entered, at the Postof flee la Salem, OREGON HAS BETTER CHANCE FOR SELF SUPPORT The news report of the printed in The Statesman of yesterday; left the impression that, one of the men f in his remarks stated that there is manufactured "flax and fiber in the various state prisons." There is no flax or fiber manufacturing done in any other, state prison excepting in the Oregon penitentiary. 1 r What was sought to be impressed by the person quoted is that spinning is a successful operation in a number of the state prisons but this refers to the spinning of twine and rope mostly; and principally binder twine, j . The Minnesota penitentiary at Stillwater makes a prof it of about $300,000 a year in spinning binder' twine and other twines but the raw supply of sisal and manila hemp comes from the state of Yucatan in Mexico, and from, the Philip pines. : i V .':. ' j The Missouri penitentiary has a surplus of $9,000,000 ; j in its revolving j fund, earned by its industries, and one of its . operations is the spinning of binder twine. The South Dako ta penitentiary is approaching self support mainly through the spinning of binder twine. A number of other peniten tiaries are looking to final self support,, and some of them ate approaching this stage ' t Arid spinning operations give the best hope of aid to wards success in this respect, excepting in the case of the Louisiana penitentiary, which lias an immense tract of land and produces sugar cane among other things, and manufac tures sugar. The prisoners there are mostly negroes or have ; pegro blood. j.:f -. ; ,-vH-;;" 1 :t - Oregon has a better chance to make and keep her peni tentiary self supporting, and to place it; oii a modern and rsodel plane, than has any other state, because of the fact that as good fiber flax is grown here as can be. produced in the world; even in the best districts of. Belgium and Ireland. So the spinning operations here will be on raw materials produced or which may be produced in sight of the prison; end because for this and other reasons there can be had ft wider, "spread" than can. be enjoyed in spinning any kind it foreign grown fiber-- : t r j ; ; I ; And the reader, if Kg Is inclined, is invited to take his pencil and do some figuring, based on the following: 1 C The contracts for 1924 'will be for about 2500 acres of Xax, and 2500 acres of flax, on good land, .well cultivated, with good seed, in the Salem district, in a favorable season, will produce 1000 pounds of fiber, to the acre; to say nothing cf thd by-products of seed, upholstering tow 'chaff arid seed ground for dairy feed, short. tow for coarse spinning, and ground seed for the drug trade, etc. Say the fanners should get $40 a tori; 3 tons to the acre, that would be $300,000. The present price of fiber is 33 cents a pound; that is $330 a thousand pounds. Multiply $330 by 2500 acres and you have 325,000. That Jeaves $525,000; not counting any of the by products. It costs about $200,000 a "year, to run the peni tentiary. That leaves $325,000 to the good, for all expenses of manufacturing Then take 2,500,000 pounds of fiber and rnultiply it by $2.60 a poimd for seine twine, and see what you have. Or multiply 2,500,000 pounds of fiber by $24 a s pound, the present price of good linen handkerchiefs " : ' And you get some idea of the possibilities. Or multiply the 17c spinning tow by $1 a pound for sack sewing twine. Do you say this is "visionary ? It is not. It is just a glimpse of the possibilities God gave the Salem dis trict; gave, western Oregon , Our people have, merely, been sleeping over better than a gold mine; better than a diamond rpine ; better than an oil well. Why better?; Because the flax industries mine will never pinch out. It will endure for a longer time in the future than the present: is away from the cje of King Tut, in whose tomb were found flax manufac tures showing a fineness" of weaving whose methods' have taen lost; which cannot be duplicated today. H a j What if we should produce too much flax in any one year for that year's use? Well, it can be stored and used the year after; or 10 or 50 or 100 or even 500 years there after. Flax is a mystery crop. It grows in 70 to 90 ,days, nd it lasts as long as civilization has so .far lasted. ; THE GOOD TIME COMING i (Copyright by the San Jose Mercury.) ; "There's a good time coming, boys, ; A good time coming. . I ; We may not live to see the day, 1 ' i i '" But earth shall glisten in the ray . Of the good time coming." . Thus sang one of the forward-looking poets of the last century. 'And is it not more practical and sensible to be thinking of the good time coming to the earth, which time we may help to hasten, than to be content to spend one's life here in anticipating a far away heaven the reality and the time of ;the coming of which we can not affect? i Whether there be this far away heaven and whether we shall . reach it? may !admitof some doubt, but there is no doubt whatever that the good time t)f which poets have dreamed and sung never , will come to the world until men bring it. f : And how are they to bring it? Not by fighting and barring, whether their warfare be as individuals or ' as na tions, and no matter what the subject of the contentions may ba.s The history of the past should have taught us this. 4The 'i elfish domination of any one class of society over the others never will hasten its' coming. -The nightmare of - the old r ytocratic sway in Russia and the horrors of the succeeding Soviet- regime ought to settle forever that question in the ir cf thinking men.

Friday evening flax meeting, ffiS&fAN; SALEM, OREGON of some other political mountebank, can never usher In' the golden age. : r I ; Brother Bryan, with his religious doctrine that not a letter of the old creeds and dogmas handed dowYi to us by our forefathers must be changed, is not the prophet to lead us out of Egyptian darkness into the glory of the new dayi Neither are the evangels of selfishness, dogma and ritual ism, who promise external rewards to those who have done nothing to earn or merit them. ; If this woukl bring the good time, the western world would now be basking in its rays instead of suffering in the horrors and darkness of its present night. . " - j . I - That good time will come-to the world, or at least the world will be well on the way to it, when men learn that the highest good to all the people is the greatest good to each individual, arid knowing this they go about seeking that good and helping to bring it, not to themselves alone, but to others, to the world. This was a part, and a large part of the message whichJ the gospels tell us Jesus brought to me worm. seeketh his life shall lose it, but he that loseth his life for my sake" that is, for the sake of the principles that 1 v, nnA "ciioii finrl it " Forirettine self and finding our happiness in bringing good is the very soul of liis gospel, ino maner wnt uw to us it is our duty to do only good to him. Thus shall we not only bring the greatest good to ourselves, but shall teach our selfish brother the true way of life for all. Until the world catches something of this spirit and lives it, the new day will not dawn for it. ! , . , . . , Yes, the gospel of Jesus Christ is what is to bring to the world the "good time." But that gospel can do nothing fop one who does not accept it, and he has not acceptedit, no matter what he says or professes, until he makes it the rule of his daily life, until his heart is regenerated by the Holy Spirit of Truth which He promised so that he has forsaken the law of selfishness for, the golden rule. t . ti Ka T-omaTrvViPrprl that His eosDel does not. consist i , vta iittprH. nor them that has come to us, however glorious and divine they are. His gospel was to teach us the way to that spiritual lead ing which dominated His lite ana wnicn aisunsuiBura from all other spiritual leaders that the past has brought to v, ,nM Wo cmnhasized not verbal dogmas, but the neces sity of the development of the inner life so that all may re ceive the spirit which led Him. When He commanded His disciples to carry His gospel to all the world, He did not say, "Here are my words, declare them everywhere and command aU men to obey them," but His last words to them were, "But tarry ye in Jerusalem until ye are endued with power fSm on high,"-or "until the Spirit of God is fa i you and 1 can otov nH act throueh you even r . - a ' Men must learn tnat tne come to tnem ana mat mcjr .. , , , until "that light which lighteth every man who cometh into the world" is really alive andurning their souls VVitt out that the New Testament is a closed book to them. The Bible whose precepts and truths are not lived is no Bible to us Not only does the New Testament teach this, but many f 0iritiial souls have come to realize it. More than fifty, Sears ago Henry Ward Beecher said, "What is the Bible m years ago rpotoWQnf if :a Tinrtrie New vour house: n is not tc v xtow.wv., . ------- ,-- Testament, it is not the Gospel according to Matthewor . . , Tin. if la ffi crnanel according to Wll r. ti:vi. i name. You write your own djuw. , 'Woiv in-t.Kp unirit . and ve shall not fulfill the iust of the flesh." These words of Paul are as true today as they were when he uttered them? While we are serving the flesh we can not walk in the spirit. WhHe men are dominated by selfishness and the animal appetites and propensities they are in no condition to hear the voice of God saying to their hearts, "This is the way, walk ye in it." And if they hear they do not obey. No, the "good time coming'.' sung by, the poets is not due yet. ' A CRISIS COMING The European situation contin ues to become more and . more delicate and alarming. A Ger man crash is due at any time and, ( like Samson of old when the house of cards tumbles ' down, Germany will not be the only one In the debris. Germany is the key to the entire structure and yet it has been deliberately goad ed into overthrowing the civilisa tion of Europe and plunging doz ens of countries into chaos. American interests are practi cal. It is really self-interest. The world is not 'ready for the ideal Ism advocated by Mr. Wilson, but it has passed the isolation f advo cated by Johnson, Borah and oth er nationalists.' Nationalism means restricted markets and we are now suffering from that very malady. When Admiral Dewey won that remarkable victory in Manila, a new era was ushered In for America. Without our seek ing cr -without our forethought, America overnight became an in ternational power.. Since that, our influence has been. extended and our interests developed. We went to war for the service of the world; we sacrificed 60,000 men and billions of money in a war In which we had no ' direct interests, but Into which we were forced by the same inexorable events pressaged by the battle of Manila bay. v . i Today ; the old world develop ment is our development and we cannot shut our eyes In uncon cern at the heartbreaking things happening over there. The court advocated by Mr.-Harding is sane and sensible. It can serve Amer ica If we entered Into the same spirit; that .we entered the war. There will be no explosion, and no man dare pronounce a pro phesy as to where' it will stop Europe is a volcano.' A treacher ous, ugly one at that and the ex plosion may as well be in some other part of the continent as In German. -. " , '''!" INTO ITS OWN V - The meeting held in Salem last Wednesday .'resolved Itself into a determination to advertise the prune nationally. and bring it in to; Its -own. --The country efrfarse ; . . and blessings to others that the nuiDorted printed record of as u nas in wm iuivu t.i. VlAa liAQlItf HAT ngnt oteuKi""." has no idea of the prune in its natural state. It knows only the dried product and thaf has been so largely associated with board ing bouse jokes tht few people have realied the - importance of the fruit. In its natural state the prune is one of the finest fruits in the world and in its dried state it can be shipped anywhere and revived into a delicious dish. The Willamette valley is the center of the prune industry In the United tSates. Were the de mand ten times whaV it 13 ' now, our crop would, each year, take care of the demand and as the market grows, more acres could be planted. .The prune is such a wholesome product that the grow ers are performing a public ser vice in extending their markets as well as adding to their own pro fits. Conservation is a great thing. The meat packers used to , boast that they utilied everything intthe bog, but the squeal. The fruit packers thought they did pretty well, but here is a story which puts them to shame: ; An engineer in California tact led a great cannery pile of apri-. cot, peach and plum stones. From this garbage he got 625 tons of sweet almond oil, nearly as much essential oil of almonds, over a mUlion pounds of macaroon paste' and 2600 tons of the finest char coal. This can be sold for 3 centa a pound. During the war the United States government spent 110,000,000 to get such charcoal, at a minimum cost of 30 cents a pound. Our future success de-i pends on using the resources we now have, however lowly. j STILL ADVANCING The development of a new ma ternal unit of the Deaconess hos pital is a matter of congratula tion, . not " only to the interests back of the hospital, but the peo ple In the vicinity of Salem, as well, r It is not an easy task to build up a hospital. It must be done with : patience, forbearance and infinite attention to details! The Salem Deaconess' hospital has met the challenge to Its oppor tunity and will now be more able than ever to function for the good otits: patietarr.rr-rrr-rrr4.! STILL GOIXC 'A legend oer, the building Just north of the ; Oregon Statesman says that' the W. C. T. U. Is or ganized ; to secure national prohi bition, and national suffrage. The legend bears 'the date of 1902, Today, both these results have been secured, but the W. C.T. U. refuses to quit. In fact, it is con tinuing! its operations with the same spirit of devotion It has al ways shown. This Is brought to mind by j'tbe fact "tLat two new cottages are to be dedicated at the W.

A hundred loans have been made by the Federal Reserve bank in the Willamette valley. $430,000 has been distributed among the farm ers. 'Not a farmer has' defaulted and only, two are behind in the prompt, payment of Interest. These two are. "perfectly good and "will pay In a few d-ays. That certainly in some record.

The mayor" promptly accepted the in dictment and said he was going to do all he could to have it rem edied! That is the spirit. The worjdj is advanced more by con structive criticism than by any othe. method. Another ? holy war has been started in Morocco. They have started about one hundred of these in the last 50 years, but the bid fighting spirit of the Moham medan seems td be slumbering. At any rate the response has been trivial ., ; - - One of the possibilities so far developed as to be seriously fig ured upon, is air mail through palem This being the capitol. fit must be the center of any, mall service tnat may be developed.

Through the door of the tele phone booth in the drug store at Bridgehampton I could see Dicky pressing the Receiver up' and down as hie reiterated his impatient call.

But you'll be doing Jt yourself in five minutes as soon as you read how. And this is the way to do it: - Rest a penny on a flat surface; then take a needle and a cork. Put the sewing needle's bead into the cork, gradually pressing the needle through the cork till only a short point remains at the bot tom. T You must break off with pliers the head of the needle if it projects above the . top of the cork. ' . ' . ' The cork holds the needle taut so that when you hammer it the needle point enters the penny without' breaking. With a few minutes of hammering, the needle will have made a hole through the copper. -. A PERT QUERY A young man home from col lege wished' to inspire his little sister with awe of his learning. Accordingly, he pointed to a star and Bald, "Amy, do you see that bright star? It's bigger than this whole world!"- "No, it Isn't," said his sister. "Yea, it is," declared the young collegian. "Then why doesn't it keep off the rain?" was the triumphant re joinder. I THE SHORT STORY, JR. w- . . THE DEER THAT DROWNED IN lOXG LAKE Two lads were stricken with fear. A mean game warden purloined their deer; i He took it away, i ,. But they say' the next day He was ordered in court to ap pear. "Oh. dear! What, can we do? He isn't going to make it." "Hush! Don't yell so hard." Red hissed In Harvey's ear. Now look what you've done. You've scared him so he won't land. Oh, do you suppose he is going . to give out so near the shore? If we were only better swimmers!" "We'd only scare him if we did go in after him. Oh-h-h-h!" It was arlong drawn-out wall.

She has not nearly eo much vitality as she thinks, and sTie seems to be undergoing some tremendous mental strain. If It Is anything In which you could help her I think you ought to come over. If not. as I said before, there possible need for you to do so." "You are right in your diagno sis," I replied. ' But Jt is nothing In which I could be of the slight est use. But remember if you need me at any time, spare no ex pense In sending a messenger for me or telephone Dr. Pettit.
