Besides, the limited space in the present-building, which was not constructed for the pur poses of the activities carried on there, cannot be rearranged ., that a growing work can be accommodated with effi- ciency In fact, the .work has outgrown the building. The directors of the Salem Y. M. C.

There is some in Salem who will provide the carried on now- of a new building, constructed for the better accommodation right of way. with natural conditious and facili tate marketing. , In brief, we are endeavoring to present Oregon agriculture as it is, analyze the factors that have a bearing upon its further devel opment, and. suggest the general outlines of t a program for the guidance of all agencies concerned with agricultural Improvement. Much is j known and recorded about how to produce crops, but it is apparent that we must like- wise give consideration to the question of. what crops wo are to produce, f Particularly is this true in a state as jet undeveloped, far removed front 1 great consuming senters, and with a wide range lot nuice aa 10 possiDie lines or pro? duction. Opportunities for dive'r- Ulfication add to the complexity of ur problem of developing a well CHILDREN AND A COimt'NlTV Every community should, be conducted upon line thaft will make its children like the place as they grownup. In other words, from infancy the children must be reared with the spirit that our laws are made for the purpose of being obeyed and enforced, and that the duty of citizenship be such , that a growing, child must regard it a privilege to be a law abiding citizen. We must teach our children that laws must be upheld , for the reason that they are laws and without re card as to the individual opinion. It laws are unfair, enforcement is the. surest way of insuring correction. While speaking of our children. the older people give a mighty fine object lesson in not enforc ing the anti-cigarette law. It is a wicked thing to sell, cigarettes to minors. It not only breaks the law, but It ruins what otherwise might be ai honorable example. A dealer who sells ; cigarettes to minors is holding himself up as a wicked law violator. DEMOCRATIC POLICY The Democratic party of Oregon is a good deal mxed up just now. The chief subject of interest is the senatorship. Two men have. been running for some time, each trying hard to get Governor Pierce's announcement. And now the , Baker Herald comes out editorially and makes the flat and unqualified statement that Governor Pierce is ready to play Strayer "across the board," to use a race-track term. Here Is the assertion: I "Announcement of Governor Walter M. Pierce recently that he would lend his unqualified sup port" to the candidacy of Bill Strayer of this city for the Demo cratic nomination for United State j senator, and his election, providing he received the nom ination, adds another feather to Strayer's campaign bonnet. Gov ernor Pierce, in a great measure, owes his present position to the feet that Bill did not seek the fctate honor and worked night and day in behalf of his former col league in the state legislature. That tho governor realizes his debt of gratitude to Mr. Strayer is evidenced by. his recent expres sion favoring the local legisla tor." A COUNTY NURSE A friend from the country called The statesman early yes terday morning to protest against the proposition of a county nurse The man was entirely sincere and entirely' within his rights, of course, but we cannot help think ing that he does not understand the great good that comes from o county nurse. The picture painted by Mrs. Carson -was unusual, but it happened to be the exact facts in that particular case. A county nurse could help every neighbor hood in Marion county. Ideally, the taxpayers should pay for it, which is Mrs. Carson's idea, but the Oregon Statesman, however, holds a different Idea.- It believes that the Red Cross was never or ganized for the purpose of loan ing money; that it should use its money for a nurse in Marion and Polk counties both.: ' Then after a fair trial we can see just what a nurse Is worth. If our hope is vindicated, either the Red Cross roll call or the direct county aid can support the nurses. There never has sn a nurse anywhere who has not more than pleased the people with her services. ALASKA Tho great northwest Is under taking to help Alaska get a square deal. It has not had this up to this time. We have exploited it, we have robbed it, but we have never given" it respectable treat ment. Alaska Is our richest ter ritory, and jet we have treated it worse than the average person treats a poor relation. It is time for Alaska to get a square deal, something it has never had. - The northwest. Is es peelaliy interested In -the develop ment of Alaska. Its immense coal fields and its wonderfurmining possibilities not only appeal to, us, but promise to supply real needs. IT WAS FINK A Statesman representative had the pleasure of attending the sec ond rehearsal of the boys chorus conducted by Dr. Kpley . of the YMCA. It was an inspiring as well as a surprising experience. Those little fellows, gathered from mil parts of the city, and Inspired by their leaders, find some music somewhere in their ' music boxes and their harmony is a matter of congratulation,-' j; .:";." Let us express the. hope that these bbys will be able to go" on over Salem on Christmas eve and 1 1-woo id hfjHh&-pmJkr jefl INVESTIGATIXQ SANTA. CL.t'S In this age of universal doubt it is nice to know that aNcommit- tee of prominent men have been ppointed to investigate) Santa Claua. The friends of the old gentleman want a most' thorough investigation. After it is.al! over good old Santa Claus will stand revealed as the kindliest spirit in air the world. The world could not get along without Santa Claus. He is a great heart softener, and directs men to fairness goodness nd righteousness. Wre have been alarmed the last few years at the growingjtendency to discredit him. but we rook up on this investigation as the op portunity to extend the idea of a good old St. Nicholas. We pity the people who do not .believe in Santa Ciaus. No matter what their age or their condition in life, Santa Claus is their rrfend. A REVOLUTION The astounding news" comes to us that there has beena revolu tion in America since 1914. We all knew tha; mighty. C changes were being made, but none of us had gone the length of believing there was a real revolution. How ever, once attention is called to it, it is easy enough to see that the old things have passed away and new things have come. The world is full of new thoughts, new ideals and new purposes. Even the old line politicians have been chastened, and it is pathetic to eee their incongruous efforts to readjust-things. We are inclined to credit the revolution idea. It harmonizes with much that Is happening to day and with what has. happened PORTUGAL About ten years ago the king of Portugal became frightened and ran away. The whole nation was dumbTounded. There was just one thing to do, and that was to organize a republic and carry on the government. ..This was done, and despite the various vicis situdes, the government has pros pered. Gradually the people have" taken their bearings, and more and more they are supporting tho republic. - - ?i COXVEXTIOX IN- CLEVELAND The. Oregon Statesman Is very much - pleased 'because the -Re publican convention has been taken away from Chicago.- It has never been treated fairly in that great city. If the .hotels have done the best that they could, they have done so poorly that they should not be patronized. Cleve land has never before entertained the convention, and nearly a' mil lion pcop'.e arc uniting in seeing that this one is a succ3ss. We - notice that scientists are discovering that for some reason up to now unknown, Oregon has entirely escaped- earthquakes However, it continues the reputa tion just the same. Kansas does not have cyclones, yet a man in this city told us a month ago that he would not go through Kansas on a train for fear of cyclones. King Tut we are going to have with us a long time. The exca vators tell us it will take years to clear out the tomb and restore the various articles. King Tut and Henry Ford are running neck-to-neck , race as the-' world's chief advertisers. . '- We are a' great people to gad. At one hotel in the month of No vember 28 states and a lot of for eign countries were represented on the register. If this increases at the same ratio it has been doing. we win nave to asK eacn other when do we work?" I FUTURE DATES I DwhiIiit 14. FriHar Annual election of offiwra for the Chamber of Commerce.

Ine, CHAPTER 18 Tho Question Madge Asked Smith That Struck Home As Dr. Moss issued his ultima tum the face of the man named Smith purpled with arrogant an ger. 1 guessed that it was the first time in many moons anybody had dared to cross him, and his fury was patent to every one. But the young captain of the troopers appeared not to notice his wrath. and spoke quickly to the physician instead. How would you like him transported, doctor?" I'd lika an ambulance, of course! ' Dr. Moss retortea, a Dit testily. "But whether or not we can wait for one is another ques tion. You were able to keep him fairly horizontal when you brought him in, weren't you, Cos gpve?" "Yes, and with more to help lift him, we'll be able to do far better going to Kingston. How about it, Mrs. Graham? Will you drive us down, or will you?" He turned to Dicky uncertainly, but neither of us had a chance to an swer him, ror the man namea Smith struck in angrily, peremp torily. 'But this is absurd, Hastings. Are you going to let these people go like this? They come in here with a ridiculous story of having found this man in the reservoir grounds, wounded. Now, what were they doing in the reservoir ground j at this time of night? It Is perfectly plain what happened. Hp jjntjrfered with them, one of them gave him this blow, and than knowing the probable con sequences they brought him here, thinking they would throw dust in your eyes. They should not be permitted to. carry this man, or, if they do, only one of their party should go, the woman. and thj rest of the escort should consist of your own men, or peo ple known to you. I myself, will be glad to make one of the escort. And I insist that the others of this party be guarded if not placed un der arrest uatil this thing is in vestigated." A Wild Thoi ght. , It was plainly to be seen that his natural arrogance, his dislike of having an opinion of liis dis credited, or some other less clear reason was urging him to this de mand so preposterous. In any ordinary assemblage he would have been laughed at heartily. But so great was his influence among the loungers at the inn that from several of them came an assenting murmur. I must have heard his words, for I found afterward that I could repeat them just as they fell from his lips. But at the time he was speaking I was conscious of noth ing but his voice. That I had heard it before I was certain, and yet I was equally sure that never in my life had I seen him. Could I ever have heard his voice over a telephone or in a crowd, or a speculation so fantastic flashed into my mind that I thought my brain reeling a bit, and I pushed it away as unworthy of credence. Did He Change Color But his whole attitude and man ner so antagonized me he is the overbearing , insolent type of man I most detest that I longed to discomfit him before his satellites. Qf course, the exhibition of Lil lian's badge .vould do it, but that was not a thing to flaunt lightly; instead, something to be saved for use only when everything else had failed. I cast a swift, furtive glance at Mr. Copgrove and the twins, wondering if they had been discreet in what they had said, de cided that they had, and spoke in cisively: ".May I ask how you know that we found the man in the reservoir grountt3 " I was prepared to affect femi nine embarrassment if his answer should show to me that cither Pa Cosgrove or the. twins had defi nitely named the place of our dis covery, but one glance at their Tares showed me that I had struck twelve with my question. fff- For just a fleeing second I saw v NEW LAMP BURNS 94 AIR Beats Electric or Gas A new oil lamp that gives an amazing brilliant, soft, white light, even better than gas or elec tricity, has been tested by the U. S. Government and 35 leading uni versities and found to be superior to 10 ordinary oil lamps. It burns without odor, smoke or noise no pumping up, is simple, clean and safe. Burns 34 air and 6' common kerosene (coal oil). The inventor. V. M. Johnson. 161 Union Ave. N., Portland, Ore., is offering to Scud a lamp on 10 days' FREE trial, or even to give ono FREK to the first user in each locality who will help him intro duce it. Write him today for full particulars. Also ask him to ex plain how you can get the agency, and willi ct ctpviicnce or money startled . confusion in the cold, brilliant eyes of .the man named Smith. But he was too' poised to show hi3 defeat. His voice was metallic as he answered: "Some one of your party said so." "Which one?" I faced him squarely, compelling his attention to me. I saw that the troop cap tain, Hastings, was glad of my in terruption, for he, with the physi cian and Pa Cosgrove, had not waited for the completion of Smith's demand for our arrest to begin tho transfer of the young trooper from the table to the car, and I therefore had no fear that I was delaying things by my col loquy. "You are insolent!" He lifted his chin arrogantly, staring down at me in evident amazement that a woman should dare to question him. But I was standing directly in his path, which was so hedged by tables that he would have had to use physical force to push me aside. "No, oniy inquisitive," I an swered cooly. "And I would also like to know whether you have accounted for your own move ments this evening." Did he change color? I almost could have sworn that he did. At any rate, his voice was raucous, snarling, as be shot a quick ques tion back at me: "What the devil do you mean, you " I interrupted him with a quick glance of alarm toward Dicky, for I feared his temper If he should hear the manner in which, the man named Smith was speaking to me. But I need not have feared his interference, I told myself bit terly, for his back was toward me, and Bess Dean was clinging to his arm. (To be continued) . . BITS FOR BREAKFAST I Salem can can ' m 'm And she did can mora this year than last. The swan song of the cannery season for Salem for 1.923 is be ing sung today. S V But the stage will be set for another increase for 1924; let us hope it may be a big one. A lot of farmers who know how to make the most of it are going to be given an opportunity to buy some of the richest land in the world; a part of the Labish Mead ows holdings. "W There are 24 gym classes go ing at the Salem Y. M. C. A., and 1101 other activities. It is a hu man beehive, and the room and facilities are not half big enough for Salem. One of the contest workers on The Statesman was picking off new subscribers in the foothills of the Cascades yesterday, wading in snow two. feet deep; and back in Salem In shirt sleeves weather in the evening. We have a variety of climates here in a range of 40 to 50 miles. They have a citizenship clas3 down at the Y. Ten men are learning about their adopted coun try, for the next citizenship ex amination, Feb. 6. That is good work. If Salem is to have a new Y. M..C.

STORIES OF FUR AND FUR TRAPPING The accoon and the Opossum Except for bats and flying squirrels, the raccoon is the best known ni:ht-prowler. He looks something like an undersized bear, being clumsy and thickly built, with short ears and a coat of long, coarse, grayish-brown hairs. His distinctive mark is his bushy white-ringed" tail. Tho raccoon may be found all over the United States and Can ada, even as far north as Alaska. He lives high up in a hollow tree, usually in a dead branch rather than the trunk, until the severe weather comes. Then he makes a hole in the ground and stays until the weather is warm enough to bring him out from his hiber nation. Climate Affects Size The climate and food of the raccoon have most to do with his Cap'n Zyjj 1 "Obserre cioseiy inis um of the Hindoo fakirs," invites Maxwell.
