4 SALEM IS THE WORLD'S BIQ PRUNE CENTER
Salem is the , world's big prune center; that is, it is the
growing, and marketing center of the largest district in the
world de voted, tof the production of prunes running to large
sizes;the prunes! that are in the greatest demand in the best
markets, and command the top prices- ' 'j ; r

The advice of the well posted men in the industry now is
not for more acresr but for more to the acre, and for a higher

And these leaders in the prune industry believe that a re

ity our. people can grow on their present acreage.

HUNTING A SLW'OU
The town of SUverton has had
hard time finding a mayor.
Finally John Porter,, te. retired
farmer, was caught and forced to
take the place.
We 'have never - understood
why there was such a reluctance
on the part of the available tim
ber to let itself be used for mu
nicipal work. True, the places do
not . pay anything, but there is a
splendid chance for service. The
mayor of a good town like Sit-
verton has an opportunity to help
his fellow men- every day of his
official life. As the leader of the
city life he can serve his fellow
men, and after all that Is about
all there Is in life.
To few men. are given the pe
culiar faculties .that -make them
financiers. The average man can-
hot serve, with 5. his money; he
must; serve with his; hands, his
head and ' his heart. SUverton is
one of the besi towns in Oregon. '
It is often held up as a model,
and it is a high honor to be its
mayor. We congratulate John
Porter, retired farmer, on taking
this opportunity of making his
last years more effective. ,
SAYING AND HELPING
The savings banks are mighty I
fine Institutions. People put in
a little at a time until they .get
enough together to do something
with it. There is just one thing
better. It is a usable credit. The I
rich man's advantage - over the
poor Is not the actual cash loans I
but 'the credit which the cash as
sures. Credit multiplies purchas
ing power. The labor of the poor
man could be successfully; pledged
for money, and a moral guaran
tee and a capitalization of Indus
try and : honesty, together with
the adoption of the -principle' of
self help, would supply r all the
credit necessary for the poorest
people. . , ft I
The system that will relieve j
suffering and remove ' poverty I
from the world is one that will
enable the poor but honest man
to get credit. We are told that
these poorer oeonle have no con-
ception of business. The con-
trary Is , true. They understand
me necessity 01 close 1 economy

claim that the man .and wife who
can rear a fair sized family, clothe
them decently 'and educate them

CHAPTER 430 .T?
THE IlEASON DICKY SADLY
BLAMED HIMSELF
At sight of toy husband rushing
as if frenzied into the room I felt
only a curious numbness, an infi
nite weariness, when by all ordi
nary canons I should have exper
ienced a wild surge of thankful
relief at his arrival to share the
burden of our; boy's disappear
ance. 'I f
But I had longed for him so in-
tensely during those terrible first
hours and had waited so hopeless
ly for him that the emotion com
bined with the consuming terror
which was obsessing my every
minute had sapped my power to
feel. My, collapse at the coming
of the darkness with my baby still
missing had left me In the condi
tion of a person severely beaten,
whose nerve ends are becoming
blunted to the pain
i.
"What a Punishment!"
Subconsciously, I knew : that
there would be no more collapses;
that I would go on and on like an.
animal in a treadmill . until 4 my
tuhT v9 fnnnil or I knew 'for &1
certainty that he had ceased ;to
live. And I also knew that if the
latter news -came there would be
no strength left for me to take up
fe again.
f i So it was;that, with the detach
ment of a stranger, I saw Dicky's
white, set face quiver into anguish

arms around me and strained me
close in an embrace that held in it

I heard him gasp,

His anguish left me cold. I do
not believe that at this moment
his very death would havoaffect-t

face, - She was flattened . against
the door, with . her hands spread
out against it, as If she were try-
ing to escape observation,' tbu as
ier eyes ; caught mine she came
forward swiftly, knelt by me : on
the side farthest away from Dicky,
and turned an imploring face up tb
me. I saw with dull amazement
that she seemed to shrink from
Dicky's proximity.
"' "Madge," she said solemnly.
"I've been very thoughtless land
unfair these last few days, but
I'll I'll atone; you'll see. Fll
not rest Until I find your baby.
And you must let Leila and
Mother Durkee and Aunt Dora
take care of you. They'll be here
any minute now. They had to
wait a few minutes before start
ing while Dicky didn't stop the
car for a second after the hotel
man met hfm at the door with
the message just whirled around
and came on flying, a I'll- I'll
keep out of yorfr way, for I know
you won't want to see nxe, but 111
be hunting every minute for that
blessed baby." '
She rose, went back to the hajl;
and I felt Dicky shrink away from
her as she passed. I guessed that.
while no doubt the feeling would
wear away If Junior were found,
yet Just now Dicky hated her, and
she knew it, for her share la his
adsence.from home upon this day,
But Dicky's feeling toward her, or
her feeling .toward Dicky, meant
nothing to me. J only feared that
Dicky might think it necessary to
voice his remorse to me also.
Before either of us could speak,
however, there was a bustle in the
hall, and little Mtb. Durkee, with
tear-bedewed eyes, rushed up to
me.
Mechanically, I arose to greet
her, furiously glad Mo- be away
from Dicky's clinging arm's, as
strangely grateful for her embrace
Instead. Over her head I saw the
tiny figure of Aunt Dora Paige,
with the stalwart figure of Dr
Jim beside her, while Alfred and
Leila were close behind them the
deep, sympathetic grief they all
felt mirrored on their faces.
And I knew but could feel no
emotion at the knowledge that as
far as .human friendly aid could
go these dfcar and tried friends
would exhaust themselves in our
service. ;

THE HOUSE THAT BLACK
- . BUILT ': ,
By Wickes AVamboldt :
I once knew a man by the name
of Black. ' He and his - wife and
their three boys lived on a dilapi
dated place in a two-room shack.
They had barely enough to keep
hody and soul together.
One day somebody died and left
Black some - money not very
much, just a few thousand dollars.
Undoubtedly there . were many
serious family conferences over
the disposition of this wealth and
many were the guesses that the
neighbors hazarded. Finally, large
piles of lumber, brick and other
building materials appeared on

Black, boasted that he .bad

doubted his statement, j The house
looked like it. There was nothing
to break the hideous monotony of
its exterior except a number of
undersized windows and a scaf
folding cleat that the carpenters
forgot to remove. There was not
a sign of a verandah. The steps
went directly from the front door
to the ground funny little nar
row steps Just like those that
had "belonged to the two-room
shack. There was no break , of
any kind In the great expanse of
roof. The eaves were trimmeu so
close that they gave the house the
appearance of a short hair cut.
But the Blacks were proud of
their house.v They liked to be seen
going in ' and ' coming" out of it.
They would hasten or retard their
steps so-as to synchronize! their

could revel in the luxury of ithree
