There were delegations of Lions also from 1. Portland and Longview s; But the Salem Lions went in such force and so well organ ic ized and pepped up for the festive occasion, that they quite ,, carried the dayor rather tne evening, m me estimation 01 uie large , delegation of Eugene's prominent people, represnting various clubs and civia activities, who were'in attendance. The Salem Lions 'sounded the praises of their city in song y and storjrand ski an(l equiP Post prandial speech and re partee. . . .. . . . . .' . ' ' . They lustily sang "The Lions Roar," with the following words: . i r i t Every! city has a steady Booster To talk about her That city's always pretty, . - Always busy; .But I know a town that is a winner, There is none finer ' So give a cheer, When'er you hear Salem, that wonderful town!

But. because it is worthy of remark that-the Salem' cme 4 organizations and Salem individuals generally have been improv ing immensely of late in fostering the spirit of selling Salem to " Salemites-and Oregon to Oregoniany a consummation the value i of which cannot be measured in either weak words or ' paltry ' dollars'.. J- - It means a bigger and better Salem and a bigger and better Oregon. It means growth and development. It is the spirit t that enables : Los -Angeles to boast 1,148,121 inhabitants up to last Saturday . . r., . ":' . "N0t counting the trainloads that came in yesterday" (Sunday) ; I , With, 3876 real estate dealers; and about these real estate dealers, the Los Angeles Times said, the other day, that businss "is made Very easy for them, in thia way i - , 1 . r 'Practically every man who has a home or a bit 1 ; - ' h of property is absolutely certain that he has about the finest location that ever existed. When a man ; 't sells his home he sobs with passoniate regret. The parting breaks his heart, but when he finds himself i V in new quarters he is perfectly sure that he has at ! last found the realization of liis dreams. Whether he has a mansion at Pasadena or a cottage at El 7 o Segundo, he has the finest view," the loveliest cli V)jc " matej the most delightful surroundings and the ; ( most sociable neighbors that are to be had in Cali fornia. Whether, he has a marble castle in Holly- , wood, a cabin in the foothills or a tent inr the Ar royo, he has the beauty spot of God's green earth, r ' The amiable dealer in real estate is able to refer to 'J' anybody he lias had business with to prove that he l: t ; can dig up the real snaps. ; There is a long line of . ; satisfied buyers. The whole family cries at leaving - the place.. It was the most delightful home they . ever had, but and so it passes into the keeping of ' another. . The. seller goes forth and makes him an r other house of joy and comfort' and the buyer y settles down to what he calls his well earned bliss. ' ; ' , "There are 80,000 home makers in Los Angeles. ' and 79,999 of them will bet all kinds of money that ; they can offer the most exquisite view and environ v ; ment to be had in California. The other man. is a ' ( grouch from Missouri whocame out here to tametS 'his chilblains and hasn't taken the time to look j around." :'::,VtVv lv. ' j If Salem can catch that spirit, and have it "take" with the virulence that prevails at Los-Angeles, we will have" 100,000 people here as fast as we can build houses to accommodate thein .v , I -.V r ; .

THB OONSTITU- Judge Chad wick, president of the Washington State Bar associ ation, made this lament: - "It Is a sad commentary' that, after A 5 0 years of national existence under a system of government that has guaranteed personal liberty. In spired men to their highest aspir ations and, when, tested by time and accomplishment, ought to be acclaimed by all men--we should be" put to the necessity! of a call for a concerted "movement, to pre serve and defend, the constitu : tlon." .; i-':.-; ;.: -v i k: ) ,.: It is sad liut true that such a condition exists. Americansjknow very little about the constitution. Most of them have not read It. They have been living under It as a matter of course, but they 1 Xaaarsr Editor Xeaeget Job Sept.

It is cer tainly high time that we were un dertaking systematic study, of the constitution The constitution Is a great docu ment. It Is not merely a declara tion. It is a guide to the conduct of the people and the control of the nation. We must recognize it as supreme. We must also ap preciate Its sacredness, because it is the cornerstone of the entire structure. It can be changed, of course,' but . it must be changed only in emergency. Every man is bobbing up trying to change the constitution; everyone wants to dq some new thing, but the less we change It the better oft we are. , LOOKING UP It Is now apparent that nothing can stop the onward march of the Coolldge campaign. From this time forward it will be largely a contest to get in the band wagon. The republican party is to be con gratulated upon its sanity, the clarity of its vision and its purpose to unite for victory. The length to which the demo cratic investigators are going Bhows that they appreciate the sit uation and, will stop at nothing to besmirch, republicans. They even tried to discredit the president. They want possession of the coun try because they know what an op portunity it is tor business. The last democratic administration cost eight times what it pugh to have cost, and the next one will be too expensive for the American peo ple. -r'-ir With Denby out of the cabinet and Daugherty about to go. it does seem as though the republicans are getting the party in good shape for the campaign. AROUND THE WORLD A few years ago the country was thrilled when the Oregon sailed majestically around Cape Horn. It was accepted as an object lesson of the necessity of digging the Panama canal. The canal has been lr successful operation for several years, ana is now lnais pensible. The fleet of airships going around the world call attention to the new power and the new ways in which war will be waged. The old way of fighting with armies and navies is becoming obsolete, and the new way will fight In the air, dropping death and destruc tion upon defenseless people. War is becoming so dangerous that few people would care to engage in it. It will not only-mean the death of the soldiers, but the widows and children and the old men at home. Certainly, we have reach ed a time when it is not necessary to have war in order to dispose of surplus population. POLK SIGNING UP Polk county is signing quite generously to the cooperative prune proposition. It does look as though, at last, we were going to have a handling of a prune crop that will permit a profit. Prune growers have generally heretofore signed up and let it go at that. In all cooperative efforts the trouble has been in the marketing end. The. overhead expense has eaten up the profits. A few years ago the head of one cooperative association received $10,000 a year. Of course, the association lost money. Now that association Is paying $5,000, which is still too much. Another association paid its manager $8,000, and is now paying $4,200. If the other em ployes were reduced accordingly. that association would make mon ey. Cooperation thrives or falls not through the productive end, but through the marketing end. Overhead expenses must be held down and the volume of business increased. FAR-FETCHED The length to which the oil in vestigation committee has gone is shown 'in the fact that it is in vestigating the republican national convention ia Chicago. It does not ay anything abou' the democratic national convention in San Fran cisco. The investigation ia purely partisan, and while it has done some good, it has shown the cloven hoof to such an extent that mighty little is being accomplish ed. HARD TO REDUCE TAXES It is recognized as a mighty hard proposition to reduce direct taxes. The reason for this is that a majority of the peopfe do not pay taxes. They are concerned only with indirect taxes. They are not concerned with any di rect levy. When the majority do not pay any direct taxes whatever, it can easily be seen that interest in re ducing taxes is not great. GROWING FAST .. The Lions club had one of Its important officials here yesterday and he put new inspiration into an already live bunch of men. The Lions club is on its toes and it is growing fast. It ought to have more membership-in Salem, 'but when its work Is understood, the members will come. 1 FUTURE DATES ..' .. . Ifurrh 21, Friday Hamilton Holt and Tr.

Mr MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Adele . Garrison's Mew Phaae of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE Copyright 1931, by Newspaper ' Feature Service, Inc. CHAPTER 131 WHO IS THIS STRIKING MAN MADGE MET SO STRANGELY? For two seconds, which seemed to me as many hours, after I had climbed into the seat beside Dicky, he stared straight ahead over the wheel with no sign that he had un derstood the meaning of my little ruse. Had I been mistaken, after all, and did his action in driving me to the station have its roots not in a desire for reconciliation, as I bad thought, but ,1a. his horror of hav ing outsiderstnink we bad quar reled? The thought was intolerable, and I put my hand on the door of the car with the intention of get ting out again, when I felt Dicky's hands on my shoulders, turning me toward him. His eyes looked quizzically down into mine, and then, regardless of possible pass ing cars, he stooped, kissed me with rough tenderness, gave me a little shake, released me, and turn ed back to the wheel. "You little devil!" he said, and the familiar phrase which on Dicky's lips becomes an endear ing one, told me more plainly than anything else could have done that the last trace of his anger had van ished. "What you really need is a good trouncing, but I can't spank you properly before your train goes, so you go scot free this time. But when you get back, oh, boy! You're going to get yours!" "Perhaps I never will come back," I uttered thewords lightly, laughingly, thinking only of re turning his banter, forgetting the vein of superstition which is con cealed beneath Dicky's insouci ance. "Shut up!" ho growled. "What do you want to spill anything like that for, even in fun? It's bad enough having you start off on this fool trip, without any idea of just where you're going, or how long you're going to be gone. No telling what might happen. I've two notions to put my foot down and say you can't go." ' "We'll Make It." His voice held the gruff anxiety which makes any wifes heart leap with the knowledge that it is grounded in deep sincere husband ly affection, and I put my hand over his on the wheel in a light and understanding caress. "I like to hear you talk that way, Dicky," I said, as I snuggled closer to him. "But that doesn't alter the fact that I simply must go and get Katie back if there's any chance of doing it. And if I can't, I'll just have to go to an agency and bring back the very best possible maid I can, regard less of the price." ' "You mean the best three, don't you?" Dicky said. "I have a sneak ing idea that you'll find times have changed so much since Katie came to us that it will take a quar ter-dozen high-salaried, modern work-dodgers to replace her." "Two dozen couldn't do that," I returned loyally. "So don't dis courage me. Just wish me luck instead, and you'll see I'll bring Katie back with me. I don't mind telling you I'd give a good deal to hear her carol, 'All right, Meesis Graham I feex,' once more. "I can imagine it would rival a Galli-Curci solo just about now," Dicky said. "Was that the train whistle? Police!" and he Btepped on the gas, sending the car along furiously. "It s the Sag Harbor snuttie, i said, reassuringly. "We haven't any too much time, Dut we're on the road that goes beneath the tracks, so we won't be. delayed. I'm sure we'll make it." "You can bet we will,' Dicky re torted, and we fairly flew down the country road, reaching the tun nel beneath the tracks just as the city train hove in Bight. "Madame Will Pardon Me.' "No time for a ticket," Dicky drew the car up beside the station, helped me out, and, snatching my bag, ran with me to the chair-car door, and handed the bag to the porter. "Gqod-by, dear. Pe careful- now." I will," I promised, and felt a tugging at my heartstrings as. I followed the porter into the car to the seat he found for me. There was something about this Journey which depressed me unaccountab ly, and it took me several minutes to recover my poise. I needed something to read I decided, and I stepped to the 'door at Southamp ton, counting on the number of people who usually boarded the train at that point to give me a chance to dash to the news-stand and back again. I picked up the magazines -I wished and tendered the boy a small bill Id payment. He was so long in making the change that I heard the conductor call "All aboard" just as he finished, turn- ed, clutching magazines and change, and dashed for the car. I was sub-consciously aware that a taxi-driver from beside the station was sounding a bora raucously, that some one else was calling: "Wait!" I vaguely wondered if it were on my account. Then 1 heard the sound of running feet beside me, and as I reached the train a strong hand slipped underneath my' el bow, forestalling the porter's help, and I gained the platform just as the train began to move. Only then did I have a chance to glance at the person who had aided me, and I had hard work to keep from staring at the very striking man who stood deferentially bowing to me. ' For he was of a type rare in my experience. Distinctly foreign, with snow-white hair brushed rather stiffly into a military pomp adour, with mustache and a trim Vandyke beard, also white he wore a light cape-topcoat of dis tinctly foreign make, covering his extremely modish clothes, and set ting off an unusually tall and well set-up figure. He would have intrigued my Imagination even without the eyeglasses he wore, which had such thick lenses that they hid his eyes. "Madame will pardon me," he said in a voice as foreign and as cultured as his appearance. "But I could not let her miss the train." I BITS FOR BREAKFAST ; Working over time S m S The rumor factory at the state house. "Look to the hills whence com etb your help." They are whis pering of richer strikes than ever in the Santiam mining district saying the ore they are now get ting is rich enough to carry out on horseback at a profit. Managers of the local bakeries and restaurants are saying that they cannot get loganberries in Salem, excepting the dried ones. They say they would make more loganberry pies the yejar around If they could get the barreled pro duct. How about this? With the very short crop of 1924, there should be a demand for all the loganberries, at fair prices. With the juice business put on the map again, the loganberry industry is going to come back to stay. m The state flax plant shipped an other car of low from Rickreall on Wednesday. Has orders ahead for flax seed, from the drug trade, that will be hard to fill, till the seed for the growers is provided. The .whippers, or threshers, will bestarted today, if the power con nections are finished, as prom ised. S A Salem man suggests that when a senator goes to Washing ton these days his baggage should include a spyglass, a monkey wrench, a corkscrew, a searchlight a can opener, a file, a gimlet and a pair of tweezers. Then he can probe and bore with the rest of the gang. MOUNTAIN VIEW it ; Mr. and Mrs. McCleave of Cali fornia are visiting at the William Bouffleur home. The Valley View club will meet with Mrs1.

If you wish to make it. extra fancy, paint it in some funny colors. For instance, GAZISH FLYER ROLLER SKATE .ucn ea "-T Ms HANDLE BAR ROLLER SKATE WHEELS make the plank blue, the handle bar red, and the soap box green. The flyer Is worked by putting one foot on the plank, grasping the handle-bars with both hands and propelling it -with the other foot. Coasting down some hill affords the most fun. It will not be simple to try to make this ga zish flyer work the first time you get on it: it will be just a little like trying to roller skate for the first time, but not quite as diffi cult. Get your gang together and build a whole fleet of these things and then have a tournament to see who has the fastest and best flyer. Have one race down hill, straight coasting. Have another along the level ground so that the fellows ill. have to run the flyers them selves." CAP'N ZYB. Cap'n Zyb Things To Do Copyright, 1023, Associated Eklitora. THE SNOPPYQUOP ANIMATED FILM COMPANY Now you know how animated cartoons are really made. The artist Is a Snoppyquop, consisting mainly of a bottle of ink. Ideas come into his head out of an old jug, and be draws with his finger, which is a pen. When he draws one "frame" on the movie film be fore him, he turns the crank and up moves another. He draws the next one a little different, and then cranks her up again. That's what's the matter with the movies, they're run by cranks. His nose throws a little light on the sub ject of his work, but doesn't if be sneezes, for then he blows his fuse out. He can't go on turning out work forever, either, for he's lim ited in ideas, ink and film. PETER PUZZLE SAYS Sea if you can solve these B headings: Behead a stream to make a bird.
