Job Department Entered at the Poatoffiee ia Salem, EXPAND OUR GOAT INDUSTRY The real estate men of Salem, and the forward looking farm ers of this district, are invited to read the article on another page of this issue, concernng the dream of a great Roquefort cheese factory here , ,:: And about the coming true of the dream -: In Los Angeles ; ndt in Salem; yet. - Probably half the Angora goats of Oregon are within fifty miles of Salem. The number of milk goats here is increasing .But, for both Angoras and milk goats, there is ample room for vastly more here. A.,,Salein ught to be a greater goat center. This is the best goat country in the world. Roquefort cheese ought to be made here, from the milk of goats. There is a possibility of building tip a business here running into the millions annually, in the production of this cheese, with a world market. It can be done, if some of our forward looking people will get the vision. We should have condensed milk factories, using the milk of goats, ancl ilried milk, factories. Nature hasfhade this a great goat country ; better even than Turkey or South; Africa. Our people should avail themselves fully of the advantages nature has given them. , . Angora goats have long been known to our people as being of great value in clearing land, ljate experiments show that they are of wonderful help in increasing the production of grain crops.,; .;.The Isrealites under Moses used the kids of goats Cor their sin offering. ! The eleven curtains of the tent over the TaJberuaele were made of goats' hair. Goats were before history was. ' The city of Angora, in the vilayet of Angora, Anatolia, Asia Minor, Turkey, now the capitol bf that country, has given the Angora goat of commerce i name. The Angora goat, coming down to recent days, perhaps, from several different strains, reached its highest development in Asia Minor ; until the pioneer breeders of the Willamette val ley engaged in the industry. - r, . They have developed a higher type of the Angora goat than Asia Minor can1 produce. j . The body of our Angora is larger, which means a greater shearing surface; the mohair is stronger from our Angoras, and it, usually has more lustre. ' ' The manufacturers of mohair find our Angora mohair the fiirfst'in the world; and the makers of AngriVa rugs' ahd robes and chaparajos find the skins tof be of the highest value in their work. i - l I The year long forage of this section makes the growth of mohair possible at all seasons. y t ""And the longer the mohair, above twelve inches, the more valuable it. is. tdias reached a figure up to $22 a pound. That the Turks hoped to retain a monopoly on Angora goats is shown by the fact that they made the shipping out of their country of these animals a. crime punishably; by death. . The people of Salem have long known the value of the goat industry to this section and city. For a long time practically alj ;the pure bred Angora go$its in Oregon were raised, within a radius of fifty miles, from Salem, and this city was the pioneer mphair market of the Pacific-Northwest. v Goats are prof itable on . any of our farms and they are especially profitable as scavengers; to clean up the land, and particularly ; to, help in the. clearing of brush land. .? There will riot be enough Angoras here as long as any one owning land does not keep a few. - iTLL INFORMATION fc, The American; people-Jump at conclusion and Mef offended more quickly than a'ny-other people in the world. 'Theyre mighty apt to talk withotUnTnformation what ever. Jteny dfiitlr Ideas are put out parrot-like. What; we need is more thinking through, more real tacts, and less talking until Infor mation, Is complete. Newspapers are offenders just as well aa any body else in this. Americans never were more ur gently In need of information on public affairs than now. Growth of the nation and its advancement In government functions, if they are, to continue, must be supported .by an electorate fully alive to the problems of the day. A primary requisite of good citizenship is knowledge of what is going on and development of an opinion as to the situation. Men and measures must .bo studied. When they are appreciated we shall have better government and better administra tion by more able officials. Tho key to' our affairs is the daily newgpapcif. Intelligent read ing for a. brief period each day of a paper which gives the facts com- plctely Is tho one sure method of maintaining an alert Americanism. For this purpose the morning news paper is especially qualified.' It has th resources of time for gath ering a record of the day's events, f for sifting out the chaff and pre senting Us readers with what is important and worthy of attention, ; It is Tree from hastily compiled bulletins which frequently mislead and from so-called high-lights which may startle but do not in- V form. ; 1 J Density of ignorance is not con fined to the'average man In Indus try, for It is found in every quar , tcrV Rcccutly. members of a group of college students made a sorry spectacle';: of themselves when . callciT Bpoa to Identify a number ' f Xanagar J.

De Valera was described as president of Mex lco. Mussolini was confounded with Muscle Shoals. Similar ex amples of half-information may be heard on the streets and in the of fices every day. The negligence relative to public questions is a smirch on American intelligence and cittzenship. MAY BE Tho enemies of the McXary Haugen bill denounced it as social istic. Does iit that sound famil iar? Every step of progress that has been made in government for the benefit of the people is de nounced as socialistic: It we be lieved these things we would all bo socialists. - The last few years have seen remarkable progress In govern ment opetrating for the people. It may be that in some instances we have gone too far, but tlie general trend has been for tho government toact as an agent for the people along useful lines. Tho McXary-IIaugen bill is not a socialistic measure- It is simply a measure acting with machinery provided by the government as an agent for the transaction of certain things necessary to continue the progress of the people. In other words, it means that "'govern ment machinery is to be used to help tho wheat farmers. If the government, acting in its agency capacity, can do this, it certainly ought to be done. Instead of be ing socialistic, we take it that it is a recognition of the agency of government and a desire to put that agency to work, for tho bene fit of the people. MUST RE CLEANED There Is houso cleaning going on in Washington. "f " -' It is a part "of the responsibility of the government, which is be- coming so large that It 'will be re cognized. The people of the coun try are demanding clean politics, and that is why there are these investigations; that ia why there is this head hunting. The politicians received their instructions from the people, but unfortunately interpreted them in their own way. The people did not intend head hunting. What they did intend was house clean ing. Xow that this has gotten started bo loudly, it can just as well keep on until both parties are cleaned out. It may hurt some presiden tial booms, but the people are de manding efficency in administra tion and are demanding personal responsibility in officials. This is an era of better things, and the disgusting turmoil in Washington is a crude way of cleaning house that the people may put things in order as they desire. AX ACCOMMODATING PARTY The democratic party in Oregon is certainly accommodating, to say the least. A few leaders, names unknown, are very obligingly meeting and putting out a party platform with the notification to every candidate in the party to attach it to their individual plat form, and only add such things as necessary for local ' consumption. What is more, the democratic party will get away with it. A few months ago the republi cans proposed a convention, dele gates to be elected from every county. The convention was not held. What happened? It would be easier to tell what did not hap pen to it. The republicans who did their own thinking shredded it in such a way that no man knew where it was buried. That is the republican way. LEAVING OREGON Certainly we have heard quite enough of the talk of industries leaving Oregon,. We notice one of the big industries the other day came out in a local paper put ting a stop to this talk and de manding that it be put right, but when it suits the purpose of these Oreson killers they will continue to malign the state and repeat un fair fctatemnnts. The people of Oregon have seen fit to make cer tain laws, t is the business of every good citizen to support those laws. This is not done. Men who ought to show patriotism toward the state are circulating all kinds of wild reports. Oregon is about as far from ruin aa a state couia oe. 113 eu- mm A liehtened legislation, a large per cent of which is initiated by the people, says to the world, that here the people have a chance to be heard, and here the people rule. MASTERING CANCER The medical profession has made wonderUil strides forward in the last quarter of a century, but it has not been able to master the cancer. This dread disease is tak ing its victims by the thousands, and up to this time it is only cured in insipient stages and those stages or reached before the victim knows anything about it. It is now said that a perfection of1 the X-ray cures cancer. . God rrant this is true. It is a terrible B. thing to die with cancer. AI.OUT DRAINAGE The Oregon Statesman had an article vesterday about the pro- drainage of the large piece of land southeast of and in Salem It is a great pity that this land has nn hum rlrai ned before. It has lawu 1 v. w been practically worthless at u was needed. Now II 111 J " "vii v that we have this new impetus in industry which has put the entire community on its toes, we cannot afford to let land lie idle so near h marliot as Salem. It is a big undertaking, but it Is practical and r.i ia nn improvement that ought to be made. liOAT COMPETITION Some of the interior papers are very much concerned for fear the railroads will kill the river trans portation. It cannot be done There istno such animal. River transportation is just as impossible as it would be to go back to the ox and cart. Slowly, the public is realizing this, and slowly, the im possibility of it is percolating to the people. Poets are just like anybody else They are foolish. A well known poet, aged 63, divorced his wife a month ago amid received much svmnathr. Now we notice he has mnrricd another port at Salinas ri I'nrts are human, and some of them are very human.

CHAPTER 119 WHAT MADGE SAW ELIZA BETH'S DAUGHTER DO. For an instant of dismay I could only stare at my sistor-in-law, Elizabeth. I dislike her exceed- ngly, but as long as she is in my room I would not wittingly give her cause for offence. Of course, I acquitted her of voluntary eaves dropping, but I could not help the mental comment that if Lillian or I had been in her place neither of us would have dreamed of letting any one know we had heard even involuntarily a conversation not intended for our ears. "I realize, of course," Elizabeth went on in the same silkily sweet tone, "that I am a living exempli fication of the old adage concern ing eavesdroppers never hearing any good of themselves. But I can assure you that I did not in tentionally " "Dear Mrs. Harrison." Lillian interrupted in her smoothest man ner, "do come here and see these children. You shouldn't miss a second of Mary's performance. I was just saying to Madge that the dramatic world will hear from your child most vividly some day, and she was agreeing with me. But Madge is such a partisan of Marion's that she could not bear to have all the glory taken from her, so while conceding Mary's dramatic superiority, she insists that Marion can do the acrobatic 6tunts better. But that is some thing yet to be tested. Do let me get you this chair." Her insouciant good-humor, her suavity, her subtle air of being someway the last word in breeding and knowledge of the world, tri umphed even over the sullen re- sentiment which I knew Elizabeth Harrison was masking with her eternally I almost wrote infer nally placid smile. My sister-in-law allowed herself to be drawn into the room and seated in the armchair which Lillian placed in front of the window. The Performance Proceeds. As she leaned toward the open window her small daughter looked up and saw her. With a gesture that would have done justice to a prestidigitateur, she unclasped from her neck and dropped to the grass beside her the necklace of quaintly carved Oriental beads which wa3 her mother's. Then with a wary eye upon her mater nal parent, she while apparently posturing in a serpentine dance used her wriggling toes to such effect that soon she had the neck lace in the comparatively safe shelter of a big stump. The thing was done so cleverly that if I had not seen her first gesture when she unclasped the necklace I could not have guessed that she was mak ing any other movement than that required by the dance she was picturing. So the child had taken the neck lace without her mother's permis sion or knowledge! Elizabeth's discipline had not inculcated a sense of honor in her daughter, at least. Again the suspicion cross ed my mind that Elizabeth used some other method to insure obe dience in public than her vaunted development of the child's individ ual freedom. And though my conscience forbade the experiment I knew tVat I meant to watch de velopments in the matter of the purloined necklace. Elizabeth had been so nonchalent when her children had meddled with my fur nishings and draperies that I won dered how she would react to the despoiling of flier own possessions. "Now, Ladies and Gentlemen " 1 had no time for much menial speculation, however, for Mary, evidently with a canny eye to en gaging hor mother's attention, re peated tho acrobatic stunts which she and her brothers had been do ing. We at the window dutifully applauded, and Lillian repeated again to Mrs. Harrison her assur ance of Mary's dramatic talent. Jerry Titer, however, was grow ing restive. Mary's keen eyes saw it and evidently decided that if she kept the "menagerie" and Jerry, it was time to redeem her promise to have Marion "per form" "Now, ladies and gtutlemcn," she intoued witli creditable mimi cry of a ringniastor, "we will wit ness a most wonder-fnl- perform ance of the world's greatest a-cro-bati-enne, Madamoisclle Eloise Sera-phiu-a. who will favor us with an exhibition of marvellous marvellous what is it you're go ing to do.

These photographs were made in New York City during the trial of the suit for annulment of mar riage brought by Bverly 1. Har ris, formerly' a Vice President of tho National City Hank. Ho gave up his position following tht: publicity attendant upon, his mar tial disputes. Harris declares he married Eleanor Elaine Le, be lieving her to be of the "I.ee fam ily that founded the famous Lee line of s.eamboats on the Missis sippi River." He alleges that Mrs. Harris h.id been tho i.Utres of. Kll naynor'of Memphis, an alleg ed gambler. and in which she is marvellously proficient for a child. Lillian pressed her foot against mine, and I returned the signal, assuring her I recognied, as phe did, that Marion was on her toes, and would outshine Mary in acrobatic ! stunts or die right there on the lawn. And outshine all the other chil dren Marion did, and in so effec tive a fashion that long before she had finishd, Mrs. Harrison rose languidly with an air of inf;nite boredom, and announced in her most saccharine voice: "Really. I don't believe 1 ought to waste my time watching this any longer. I should think you wnld be afraid to have your daughter exercise so strenuously, Mrs. Underwood. It is so apt to develop her muscle at the expense of her mentality."

This is the best goat country in the world, and Salem is the place for the goat center of the world. It can be, if our forward looking people will get a move on and stay on the job. Goats go with all other kinds of live stock. They make the going better for all other kinds. They work for nothing and iay their own board and pay a good price for their board.

"Well" Grandmother 'Miles smiled. "I think I've told you all the bloodthirsty tales I know, but if you'd like to hear an Indian story that doesn't have a massacre or a war-dance in it, I'll tell you about the little Indian girl who cared for my baby and to whom I gave my silk umbrella."

BREAD QUESTION Dr, Trawin Builds Strong Sermon on Topic at Bap tist Church There was a large attendance at the Baptist revival again last night and deep conviction of the importance of the evangelistic message seems to be gripping the j people.

A call for out-of-town people at the meeting showed Portland, Albany, Lebanon, and a number of other outside places represent ed. The auditorium wa3 well filled and all joined heartily in the singing. The old hymns are especially enjoyed by the people.
