It fills a grat need, and does it welL Last week, 160 people were sent : to definite jobs by this agency, and there were applica tions for 441 men and women. In the Salem district, there Is seed time and harvest every month in the year, and there is always something doing. A free employ ment agency like this helps a lot in getting the work done that needs to be done for the good of all. i ; It Is too much to hope that to day and tomorrow, when every thing wil be on wheels, may be free from automobile wrecks. Pity 'tis 'tis true. There is some thing in gasoline that makes so many people bughouse. !

There is no caste in blood and tears run salt with all. l' V V "The unsound social and econo mic theories which deluge the earth from time to time are not the progeny of stalwart men and women. Sound bodies do not breed ! unsound 'doctrines. Along with a vigorous training for phy sical development should go a teaching to think healthful thoughts. For after all it must be remembered that 'as a man thinketh in his heart so is he.' " President Coolidge. The state flax industry has al ready received 1 COO tons of flax from the 1923 crop. About 400 tons are yet' to come. That will hold them till the. 19 24 crop be gins to come. It would be enough to spin all the seine twine used on the Columbia river, and about four more rivers like It. At pres ent prices for seine twine, it would be enough to support' the Oregon penitentiary, and four more of the same size. The read er can get an idea from this that something has been started in Oregon: because the acreage for 1924 will be doubled. Something has beenstarted. ,A linen Indus- try has' ben started. It will be so big that all the Inmates in a hun dred penitentiaries the size 01 Oregon's could not do the work. It will be the biggest Industry in Oregon, bringing fn time $100,- 000,000 annually to this state. Every One Busy Saturday At State Penitentiary That there is no rest for the wicked was aptly illustrated pes terday at the state prisonwhen the men In the sawmill and flax plants were kept busy during the usual half-holiday by order of Warden Johnson Smith. The flax plant bad a big order to fill and ial for the housing of the three the sawmill is getting out mater- huge stacks of flax that have not yet been covered. Not only did the men work yes terday, but they will do the same today and tomorrow. ' Rough lumber at the rate of 15.000 feet daily is being manufactured from the huge logs and all work la be ing rushed, advantage being takM of the favorable . weather condi tions. The flax must be covered before rains arrive. , which are common at this time of season No one watching the men could tell that they were convicts, for each Is working with as much en ergy as can be found around any sawmill. Many of the men are in first class physical condition, tanned and brown by working out of doors. i Boys and Girl Away on Stock Judging journey A group of more than 75 boys aid girls belonging to the live stock clubs of Marlon county, ac companied by W.
