THE BOOSTER SPOUT
Z ' The Salem Lions went in force to Eugene, to help in the
ceremonies and festivities of delivering its charter to a new
Lions club there on Wednesday evening, Cottage Grove haviug
'joined with Eugene in making up the membership of the baby
v clubi or the cub club. 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

They lustily sang "The Lions Roar," with the following
words: . i r

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!
Salem has won great renown
Salem the home of the cherry,
"Walnuts prunes, and. doit 't

Growing constantly,

The above .boosting, paragraphs for our youngest ,;noonday

spirit' . . 'j . '- - " . .. .. ' '. .
But. because it is worthy of remark that-the Salem' cme

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

last Saturday . . r., . ":' .
"N0t counting the trainloads that came in yesterday"
(Sunday) ;

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

DEFENDING . 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

have never studied it. 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.

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."

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
