' intra iw - The State Flax Plant Gradually- Working To wards Full Operation Is The - state flax plant is gradu ally working towards full opera tion. About a car of upholster ing tow a week will be shipped from the main plant at the peni tentiary later that is, about 11100 worth a week. Small ship ments have been made regularly for some time, to fill rush orders; to accommodate as far as possible old customers. . Now car shipments are going out, and there are orders ahead, both in car lots and jn smaller shipments, tor all that can be turned out for, some time. There are abo orders ahead for ground flax seed, from the whole sale drug trade. Warehouse Nearly Ready The big brick' flax warehouse, outside the east wall ot tha peni tentiary, is about finished. The steel girders for the roof are now all Jn place, and W. D. Pugh, sup erintendent of the work, says only about seven mora days will be re quired to get the roof on. Then some of the machinery, such as the seed . grinder, can be put In there, to fill urgent orders. Mr. Pugh says the roof on the new main machinery building in side -the walls ought to be fin ished in about three weeks that is, in ample time to have the whole plant going full tilt by the first of Pebrqary. Doing Faat Work There will be no time to spare. All the men who can be given room will be needed to get the 1923 crop all out of. the way be fore the harvesting of the 1924 crop. But Robert Crawford, superin tendent of the state flax plant, says, this can be .accomplished; and will be. Withthe new ma chinery at Rickreall he is doing as much work with seven or eight men as was done in the old plant by the old machinery with 30 men. So the 200 tons of flax that was stored in the Rickreall ware house will be out of the way when the main machinery build ing Inside the wall is ready for occupancy some time before February 1, according to present calculations. The new building will be arranged very convenient ly foe handling a large tonnage of tlai, turning it Into fiber afld th.e other products. No fiber will be ready for the market till the main machinery building operations are started, GREAT VALUES! a i. i 1 ' . - .... ine niirn nrire nr thai this ninior r va.. a-A m Universal Combination Range Why not place one of these wood and gas ranges in yow home this month?

WILL ASSEMBLE Members of the Salem Broccoli association will ; meet at the Chamber of Commerce auditorium Saturday afternoon for the annual meeting of growers which will be followed by the annual meeting of the board of directors. An ef fort will be made to determine how the spring crop shall be hand led. Three courses are open by the same, agency which . handled the crop last year, a new agency, or the handling tf the crop by the. association itself. Officers will not be elected until the crop has been disposed of in the spring. C. C. Russel, route 8, is president. In the Salem district there are approximately 100 acres given over to the production of broccoli. chiefly in small tracts. In the Fratum vicinity the broccoli is grown in two and five acre hold ings, and other tracts extend near ly to the city limits. A fine crop is being grown by C. M. Bouffleur, in the bills behihd West Salem. . The, present crop will' not bo damaged by the , freeze, as it is protected by the snow, it is gen erally believed, but if the, weather becomes warmer .and ground thaws, followed by another freeze the crop will suffer. . Provided the freeze does not seriously affect the, broccoli,, a fine crop is assur ed .Jti the spring, according to re ports.) The broccoli is said to be of fine quality. 1 Starving German Children Are Subject of Appeals KEW YORK, Jan. 1. General IJepry T. Allen, chairman of the American committee of relief ot German children, and Wilbur K. Thomas, executive secretary ot the American Friends' service com mittee (Quakers), i83ued here to day a joint New Year's appeal to the people of the United States on behalf of the starving children of Germany. , Tbe former commander of the American forces on the Ithine and the Quaker executive urged the American people to disregard whatever prejudices and animosi ties that may exist as a result ot (b? world war and called on them to remember thet underfed diseas ed children of permany durtng this season of happiness and. re joicing throughout the world. " General Allen committee has launched a nationwide campaign for 110,000,000 to feed German children this winter. The fund is being administered exclusively by the American Quaker. "Children are dyinjg from want of , food in .Germany this winter," the appeal read. "Thousands of them jmzr not live to see another Christmas unless America goes to their aid. Hundreds of tbousands are -being stunted in body and mind and are prey to the ravages of ricketts and, tuberculosis be cause they dp- not have, enough to eat and have, not had', many of them, since they Were born.' It may be that girls go to the devil because they go to Holly wood, and then it may be the other way about. CREAM CLEARS A STUFFfD-UP HI instantly Opens Every Alr Pass age Clears Throat, Too .

':"-.r; ' " lOCEOLI H SSlEO Real Esfate Brokers 0ptimisr tic 0vr Outlook for Com iing Months Real estate, -rural and city, is beginning"' to show a few signs of life and fealtors are highly optl mistlo ov'fr the outlook for 1924. This spirj! of optimism fs based upon thelnumerousi inquiries con cerning fkrm lands in particular during the last 30 or 60 days. Four ni oaths ago was a different story, thdy say; for at that time the future was far from- being tinged with golden or, silver hues. The grat need in Salem is for small . holies With from three to five rooms, and built; to sell frpm $2,000 ank $3500. according to A. C. Bohrr4tedt, Salem realtor, who has became convinced "through numerous! calls to the . multiple listing bureau. That 200 houses of this type could be absorbed in 1924 is his contention. He gives preference to homes, well-built and modern ii every respect, to cost around $2200 to $280.0. These should be available to the pur chaser ufton. the deposit of ?500 and the remainder in semi-monthly payments. r ' One of; the. greatest strides in progress tAea in the community was completed about a month ago when a multiple listing bureau was inaugurated. This had been discussed for .many months, but it was well along in the fall of the year before any definite action was taken. - In the month that it has been in operation farm prop erties representing a valuation of $198,071 have been listed, and city properties totaling $163,073, a total of $361,146. Of this total $65,100 was listed the last week in December. Advantages of this method ot handling real estate have met with much favorable comment in other cities and the Salem mem bers of the bureau, brief as has been their experience with the plan, heartily endorse the bureau. Properties that are listed with the bureau are available, to every other member of the bureau which is confposed of 22 members at present. Service to.tho owner is one of the outstanding features of the bureau, for instead of hajr. ing one agent, he now has 22 ag ents lookiBg after hiar interests. The plan also serves to eliminate the "shopping" element, dreaded by would-be purchasers, for ho can select his office or firm and there be able to look over: the entire field. "Many properties are not included in the bureau upon re quest of the owner, and are known as "exclusive listings." Only the listing agent can dispose of these Members of the multiple listing bureau Qf tae Marion-Poik County Realty association are A C. Bohrn sted;t, J47,. North Commercial; Gertrude, J. Jd.

There are 193 ordinary school districts in Lane; 23 of which have standard high schools, and there are eight union high schools. y ' Hilarious Crowd, Sees Old Year Go, New Come Hilarity ruled in -the Midnight Frolic that marked the passing of the old year and the birth of the new at the Grand theater Monday night. Excellent vaudeville stunts' were put on by Ray Felker, Ed Chastain and others, and the new year was Introduced in!the person of little Nellie Jane Haw ley, who was- greeted enthusiasti cally by the ' audience that filled the theater. The motion picture, "The Com-, moo Law" was 'well adapted to New Year night and is an, excel lent story besides. As .the hour of midnight approached .bells, caps and . "serpentine" were dis tributed about the audience and the merriment began.
