A GREAT I3rrESTMEXT The Oregon Statesman wants to emphasize the position of Mrs. Carson as to a country nurse. It Is a great thing, for tbe county that a woman of her forcible character and determination is holding the position she does. She will get the nurse air right. But there is another side and that is the Teason we want her to get one.7 .A nurse would be the best ' investment. Marion county could make. She would belong to all the people and would serve all the people. She would prevent epidemics. She would see that a lot of children who are now under privileged would have a fair chance in the world and in life. Mothers would welcome this nurse and she would help every mother n the county rear her children by bringing up the health standard of all of them. .A county nurse would be a wonderfully profitable investment for Marion county. longer lives tp It is good news that every child born today will hare expectations of living twelve years longer than his father. That is a tremendous stride forward for one generation and, it comes because of the prog ress that has been made in hy giene, sociology and the everyday problems of life. Twelve years added. to a child's life very fre quently means the difference be tween a loss and a profit on that life. So many years are neces sarily used for preparation that Unless the child has the necessary time after being equipped, Its life will be an economic loss. . There is room enough In the world for everybody, and the long er Ufa means more useful life, so we may expect the oncoming gen eration to make more marked progress and also to lift the life line the next generation and push It forward more than twelve years. FARM LOANS President Coolidge has made a proposal for the temporary relief of the farmer. . We have many times pointed out that the farm era do not. want anything given to them. They do want to have the way open by which they can help themselves. They do need. more credit for the reason tbat many banks of' the country find them selves In such serious dilemma be-: cause they cannot collect from the farmers.' The present proposal will give these banks relief and at the same time give the farmers an opportunity to work out their own salvation. ' ". - This is no new thing. It has been done with the tariff for a hundred years, and will doubtless be done for a hundred years more. A REPUBLIC It begins to look as though Greece Is going to have a repub lic. At any rate, the people are going to have a say and it stands to reason that they will say a republic.- The people of Greece are long-suffering and they have suf fered much: They are citizens who deserve better conditions, and their , recent plight is entirely chargeable "to . the ' monarchy. There was a fair way to get out entirely until the foolish king de- lared war on Turkey, and in con sequence lost his throne, his dyn asty has failed and more than 100,- 000 of his people have been killed. It its " a , terrible indictment against .monarchy in general. : . .-.i'i-'?

" , ; i ' orrosixa suxday ; - .-It is. with gcauiue grief toat the Oregon Statesman notes' that peon pie who ought to be united for everything that will help the town are not uniting for Billy' Sunday. Salem, needs Billy Sunday more than anything else. It has a right to , expect people to be forward looking and they do not join with the critics against every thing good. The men who are opposed to all religion have a right to fight Billy Sunday, but those who are not opposed should not carry the point so far as to make division in the ranks of Christian people. There Is a good deal of satis faction in knowing that we have an unexcitable president. He goes along in the even tenor ot his way, doing his duty as he sees it. Mlf MARRIAGE Adele Garrison's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE Copyright 1921, by Newspaper Feature Service, Inc. CHAPTER 84 THE STRANGE REQUEST THAT MADGE MADE OF LILLIAN. That Dicky was concealing something important from me, something concerning affairs at home, I was sure, not from his inaistepce that we start home at so early a morning hour for we both like as early a start as pos sible when we are taking a long motor trip but from his general uneasy demeanor. He is a most transparent person, is my Peter Pan, and I could see very plainly that he was worried. There was no use taxing him with my belief, however. Except Upon the occasions when his tem per of thoughtlessness gets the better of him, he is chivalrous to a fault. It is his firm conviction that his womenkind should be shielded from unpleasantness, and he was patently working overtime upon his present task. But while Dicky is chivalrously, protecting to me, he also, in the years since we were married, has confided his troubles and Joys to me very free ly, and I knew that he was on net ties at having to keep : whatever knowledge he possessed to him self. " ,, Dicky hurried away from the bungalow as soon as he had issued his ultimatum about starting the next morning at 7, and I looked around me with dismayed eyes. Hf had been packing his belongings ia his own fashion, and the result were before me in a suitcase and a bag standing open in th middle of the floor. They were open be cause no one on earth could have closed them without forcing them into sections. And articles of Dicky's wearing apparel and his souvenirs were strewn upon every article of furniture in tbe rooms, while! found one ot his shoes and a perfectly good hat under the bed. Lillian Is Relieved. I knew what Dicky's leaving the bungalow meant permission for me to re-pack his things. It is a farce repeated every time we make a Journey. He resents fiercely at first any attempt of mine to see to his belongings, but after a session with them, he clears out and leaves the field to me. Of course, that puts one in the position where if anything is lost or damaged he can blame' my packing, but that af fords him such a satisfactory out let if things go j wrong that I am glad to exchange it for his ab sence from tbe scene. There were several things to be seen to, however, before I finished packing, and of those the most important was telling Lillian of the plan. I hurried out, crossed to her bungalow, and told her the news. ; I knew how anxious she was to get away from the present tense emotional atmosphere with which Robert Savarin's Jealousy was en veloping her, so I was not sur prised at the look of relief which swept her face, nor at the vigor with which she began to move around her . rooms, characteristi cally beginning to work even be fore I had finished my errand. Madge Packs. " ! "I wish you'd do something for me." I said smiling, ' Din i warn you lf"a something that's down right dishonorable." ".Short -of mnrderine our host's entire 'family and setting fire to the house afterward, I am at your service." she retorted. "What par ticular brand of second-story work do you desire?' . i Nothing so strenuous. I sim ply want you to gain my husband's confidence.- and then bring me your knowledge."! Lillian regarded mo for a sec ond with suddenly narrowed eyes as if she realized, that there was something very real behind .my Jesting. , But hcrj speech carried on my conceit. - "I'll turn his soul insido out and show you the lining." she promised afnlcssly.1ut Cheife was an Intent facss In her eyes which totd'Tne she was waiting to hear my real mean in. ; :r."-7 -:;-'-.v.rLr r "fci A ''SoDiBthlagwrtung aLhome' 1 PROBLEMS said. i"I know it from the way Dicky's acting high and lofty purpose of, shielding tender wife from the truth. - I ve seen him ao it before. And he's aVso dying to tell somebody the trouble, so I prophesy he'll weep on your shoul der in another hour or two. Please encourage the babbling, and then let me know what Its all about of course " , 1 added conscienti ously, "if it's anything you can tell me." , She picked up a tiny pair of em broidery' scissors and held them aloft melodramatically. "Samson's locks shall be shear ed!" she declared oratOrlcally, and 1 went back to my .packing with the security that if the knowledge Dicky had was anything I ought to know I would in all probability be in possession of it before 1 slept. v . I attacked the packing methodi cally, first leaving out every ar tide of clothing which Junior, Dicky and I would wear on the homeward trip, and the toilet ar ticles we would require the next morning. Then, with a sigh of thankfulness for the forethought which had made me arrange the parcel-post packages, I succeeded in getting all my things and Jun ior's into my' own suitcases and bags, even leaving a space in one of them for any overflow 6f Dicky's. - A stout linen bag for the soiled clothing, another for the miscellany which the last minute brings, I left open, ready for the final winding-up of things the next morn in sr. And then with a long breath I attacked the problem of Dicky's packing. (To be continued) BITS FOR BREAKFAST! i ; - Preparing for the garden?

The . government has been offering decorations to fam ilies who have farmed the same acres for three centuries. Thus far 750 medals have been disib uted. One family has been plant ing the same land for more than 1200 years. The LaFarges of to day can tract their genealogy i to the days of Charlemagne. They are tilling the acres now they did then. This country has been settled to some extent for more than three centuries, but if a' fam ily clings to one farm or ranch for. a full generation it is consid ered a marvel of patient endur ance. The people or me uia World appear to be more adhesive and those of France lead all tl rest. A genuine feminist is one who thinks woman's sphere this one on which we live. . .

ANOTHER ANIMAL MOVIE REEL As soon as Papa Monkey reads the title, "The Pie-Faced Policeman, In Four Parts," the little monkeys all scratch their heads and begin to ask which is to be in four parts, the pie or the policeman. Then Papa Monkey has to explain that it is the picture that is in four parts, and their cousin, Pansy Chimpanzee leans across the aisle and reminds them that it is against rules to read the titles out loud. Cut out the reel around the circle, and putting the thumb tack that is the button on the orchestra leader's coat (shown in the theatre on Monday) through the center dot of the reel, underneath the theatre, move the reel' around on the screen to show the progress of the story. Cap'n Zyb POTALAr LHASA? THIBET? This is a picture of the largest building In the world. It is not in New . York or in a place which most of yon fellows have even heard of. It is the Potala palace in far-away Thibet a mountain country nestling In the Himalaya mountains north of India. The great palace Is 18,t00 feet above sea level, so. high that every motion is strenuous effort for peo ple who live in the low places like most of ua do. This palace is 436 feet 10 inches high and well over a quarter of a mile long. Outside this great building is a wonderful thing to see, but it is very unattractive inside. There are miles of halls and hundreds of rooms all terribly dirty and sooty. They get sooty from the smoke of lamps which burn butter. V It is almost impossible to wash in this strange country, because the skin will crack, and a cut fin ger is a serious' proposition, be cause there is so little oxygen in the air that cuts do not heal prop erly. The national food of Thibet is a sort of paste called ptsamba which is made of tea leaves ground up with yak's blood, butter, and plenty of salt. Doesn't sound very inviting, does iff : Only a few white men, or other strangers, have ever, been in the sacred Thibetan City of Lhasa be cause the Thibetans are a very austere people, who do not wish any strangers to enter. The coun try is ruled by Buddhist monks, or Lamas. The head of these monks is the Dalai Lama who is usually not over 13 years old.
