The; idea is to commemorate the sacrifices of the service men and "women-sent from this' county to the World war; the names;of all who lost their lives while under the colors to be engraved on , the' pedestal of the monument. I . This is a tribute in permanent form that has been too long negleeted - J --.

If the cam paign can be made sufficiently, general; the amount fronrany one person might .be very , small,' and still the sum be realized) i i "Who is there among Marion . county 's 50,000 who could not contribute $1 or $5, or more, towards the cost of such a patriotic memorial? : ; ' : The, amount would be more than realized if all our! people had a. part in it,'and contributed an average ofonly 10 gents.

We cannot understand this. , The natural supposition would be that every one would want to favor the farmers. - Instead, every farmer's move arouses the most serious and strenuous "objections on the part of men , who have been enjoying special privileges for years. 1 Un less the farmers get more than talk-there will be a third party in the-field - this -year."4 Tbe "OfiTy thing it can accomplish.' however, will ;, be to elect the democratic candidate,- but she farmers have learned that It doesn't make very much difference "which party goes In: they get the worst of it.

In fact the emergency. It self suspends economic laws and relief measures ' are enacted to clear , the situation while the re covery is being made, The-Me- Nary-IIaugen bill la uneconomic,' but we are facing a condition, not J a theory.' The -farmers of- tie 1 country, feel" that every other In dustry has been helped on Its feet except, farming. Just reflect for a moment what we have done for the railroads. Bill upon bill, start ing- with the Adamson law, has been enacted for the purpose of helping the railroads. The argu ment was that it was necessary . to do this In order to prevent the system breaking down. We sub- rait that the farming i system is breaking down just as serious as the transportation system, . The McNary-Haugen- measure has the - government; function for immediate, relief. They tell us that this Is government In business. It Is. The government has been in business for years, and a poor time to draw the line is when the farmers are concerned. VINDICATED ITSELF When the labor bureau was first opened' in Salem it was pure ly an experiment. The need was so great and the results so gratify ing -: that . from time to time the life of the bureau has been ex tended. Yesterday. Francis II. Jones,,. -' director general of the United States employment service came 'to Salem and,, after looking the situation over .'carefully, an nounced ; that - the bureau, had earned its right to live, and from this - date . forward would be per manent. This -is good news for Salem. This labor bureau has been of great benefit to this ter ritory and Mr. Jones is to be con gratulated upon his; fairness in recognizing this field and its needs. THEY ALL ARK LOVAL The question has been raised over the country that the service clubs sapped the life of the cham ber of commerce. . That .may be true ia some places, .but certainly Is not true in Salem. . We notice from the little leaflet .published by" the chamber of commerce that 83 out of the 100 KIwanlans are active members of the chamber; 74 of the 81 Rotarians are mem bers; 42 of the 51 Lions are mem bers. 1 Of the 27 members of the Marlon-Polk Realty association all but four are active members of the chamber. Salen is becoming accustomed to having the cham ber of commerce the center of all activities. The result of this co ordinated influence Is that we pre sent a united front, and it certain ly shows results. EVACUATE THE RUIIR The French are still dickering to get a personal advantage before leaving the Ruhr. The result Is that German reparations are not being paid. Europe is not being stabilized and unrest is not being allayed- -.--.;.!.-,.:...-....- . , It is time to put pressure upon France to be reasonable and fair. There is nothing to be gained by the unreasonable fear of Germany that France feels. Every day of this petty oppression angers the Germans still more and anger car ried a little further Into the fu ture. It Is time for the .Ruhr to be evacuated. : L . t COURTING THE WOMEX On the 17th day of: May the women will come into their own. The party candidates' and party organizations will begin to organ ize, cajole, and flatter the women. They are not bo solicitous until all the offices are. attached by indi viduals, mostly men. .Their solici tude is largely for votes, and the women have half the votes. Some of these days the women are go ing to rebel and when they do. woe betide . the professional poli tician. IT IS GOOD The Oregon '. Statesman is , very much pleased at the revival in spelling, It is distressing to see how many people are unable to spell; everywhere we find the most wretched spelling. Along with this spelling we need to study English, because; English is just as necessary as I good spelling These spelling : schools just offer an opportunity to interest . people in spelling, and where interest is, progress will be made.

"Turn down the wood road. Dicky's phrasing was a request, his tone a command, and I obey ed both as 1 1 swung the car into the "wood road," a thoroughfare beloved by all of us for its wind ing curves, each displaying a new vista of forest beauty to our wood- loving eyes. In mid-summer one frequently met motors upon it, but inline late autumn It was almost deserted, the "natives' preferring the straighter roads as the short est distances between their start and their destination. ' I knew without Dicky telling me where he wanted me to stop the car. A half mile down the road there is an opening in the woods always reminding me irresistibly of a cove in a stream, where one can draw a car out of the narrow road N and avoid any danger of some other motorist ramming one's car. i V Dicky Is Emphatic It Is an ideal spot for a confi dentlal talk, and during the sum mer months I have seen many a car parked there with its occu pants, almost always young coup les, absorbed in each other's so ciety. , And when, as had ohen happened since we canie to the east end of the island. Dicky and I found ourselves a bit crowded out by the number of the people in bur home, we had escaped to this delightful spot and sat there talking until we' had straightened out whatever domestic tangle need ed our attention. "One hundred per cent. intel ligent," Dicky commented, as 1 turned the car into the little glade and stopped.4 "Now, shut off your engine, foryouand I are in for," a 'conference with the office boy instructed to admit nobody less than the President of the United States."' "Why 5 . the high tragedy?" I asked saucily, as I stooped obe diently to the'switch key. "Dicky grinned reluctantly. "You'll think it's battle, mur der and sudden .death before I get through," he said in ; pretended burlesque, but I thought I detect ed more than a trace of serious ness beneath . his raillery, and I was correspondingly uneasy and warily silent. . In the first place," Dicky began didactically, "just get oe thing through your bean. I'm. not ask ing any questions about this per formance .with- .Katherine, ..but don't you and. Lit . think for one little fraction of a second that you're puttlhganythlng , over on me! I probably rank in your lists of male intelligensia as 20th or some such ' rank, the high places being pre-empted by. deah Majah Grantland and sweet Allen Drake, the boy with the long eyelashes. But limited as my intelligence is, I'm still able to put two and two together'withou't making-- jt over four and one-eighth!" ; ' ..- "What Do You Mean?" ! r . ' He paused tor breath, and I drew a long one of decided, appre hension as to .his reaction when he should learn-that Lillian had sent for Allen Drake, whom he" had so contemptuously characterized, and whom I knew, he detested whole- neaneaiy. inat uickj was uewr mined to keep me from aiding Lil lian I feared, and I began to search wildly in my mind lor some expe dient by which I could comprom ise Lillian's need of me and Dicky's prejudices. 1 i-'I'll admit you did fool me for a few hofirs," he went on more slowly. "I really did think Kath erine was coming on for a rest and visit while Jack was gone to South America. And when you said that she would like to do some nursing while she was here I was tickled to death on account of Mother. : "But the mater informs me a little while ago," Dicky continued, "that she doesn't need or want a nurse, and that Mrs. Bickett is go ing over to' the hospital on an im portant casei z Of course,' I cant gues3. what case she's going on, tan't co-ordinate Katie's brain, storms, Jim's abrupt leave-taking, and the confabs' yon and Lil and fossilized old Petit have been hav ing. But that's neither here nor there. ; Keep your Jittle secrets if you want to, but just remember this no detecting, plain or fancy, or any other stunts this time for you,' old top, and you'll just get back -nicely in your, little cave, for nothing did-ing absolute ly!" :. ; j . . v I sparred for time. ' .What what do you mean?" I quavered. 'I haven't Veen 'I. Hi Cap'n Zyb Those Powerful Lunss - Every one of you fellows know that you use your lungs to brealhe with. You may not know that they5 are a sort of muscular , and gelatinous mass which stretches Luke . a rubber, band. ! Despite the .TEST YOUR LUNGS Y bookJ fact" that they would look 'flimsy if extracted fsnd placed on the table, they are really very powerful. If you wish to see for yourself how powerful they are, here is a simple bit of testrng apparatus. Take an ordinary large brown pa per bag. Place it flat on the table and then get two or three of the heaviest books you can find. Two or three fifteen pound dictionaries would be ideal. ; Place these books on the flat paper bag and then Llow up the bag. . ? ; You will find that it won't both er you a bit to fblow f Ifty; or sixty pounds right up off the. table by blowing into the bag, which will inilate and raise. the books with it. I got a very large and very heavy paper bag the other. day, put a board across it, had a grown boy stand on It, and raised him from the ground by blowing into. the bag. .- ' . CAP'N ZYB. . . ' s - . . - ( i "No. you can bet your sweet life you haven't been doing any thing worth mentioning, or I'd have been on your trail before this. ; I'm Just telling you. this now, so- you can make up 'your mind to keepout of the mess. It's a jqke, anyway your getting mix ed ' up in these secret-service messes! Of course, old Lil is dif ferent. She reajly belongs to the game, and she's valuable. And I can see how, on account of Kath erine's profession, she could be useful to ; Lil. But you outside of giving Lil moral support, which the Lord knows she doesn't need, and, giving Allen Drake a chance to tell you! what a wonderful .white haired boy of the powers that be his lordship is, I don't see where you come in. And it's a rjsky bus iness. I don't choose that my wife get mixed up in it. So if you have any little plans laid with Lil, you'd better get busy and- squash em." vj H; ' : (To be continued.) : WHY I WROTE THE BEST PLAYS' - 'By Burns Mantle By BURNS MANTLE Previous to the theatrical sea son of 1919-20 the so-called com- rhercial theater was treated as a sort' Of stepsister to the arts. Being nobody's child, and ev erybody's child, nobody was espec ially interested in its report card. Such account as was kept of its Ad ventures was dictated , by Its nar rower and more selfish guardians; Thus we heard much of the rec ords and promise of the , Little theater, something of the "genius- inspired activities of the Foreign th ater, and' there were occasional reference to the American theater and: the significance attaching to its 'woeful lack of this, if not of that." ":-.;' 1 jThat year it occurred to us meaning ray publishers and myself that, there was, or should be,- a rublic sufficiently interested in the theater . frankly accepted as the home of a people's entertainment to make the publication of an an mial year book of the drama in America. both a . purposeful and profitable enterprise. We have so fat issued four volumes of "The Best Plays" series and we seem to have been' Tight., As editor of "The Best Plays" series my ! personal ambition had. and still has, numerous ramifica tions. I wanted it to be an author itative work in the sense of ri' fisctlng acenrately the . play-choi s ing taste of that section of , tns American public that supports the theater, and thereby determiues the trend of drama in America. ' And I wanted it to come as a harbinger of peace and harmony to efery home. -That Is to.-say 1 wanted it-to offer Mrs. Urban the proof she often needs to convince Mr. Urban that Maude Adams did not."jn fact, star in "The Gold Dig gets '.iy--;:t-l:':'-:V.i" And I wanted It to save the Su burban twins; (who have so often been told, they really should go on the . stage) the time and money the now spend on scrapbooks and library paste.. Here; (If I may say so without seeming to boast more than natural) here they have the record without the trouble of col lecting the scattered segments of th'ptast as printed In 'the regular rrogram. And no longer do they have laboriously to separate these f rent the . underwear - advertise ments preparatory to pasting them in their own book under the wrone he.ings; Thing To De MARY ANN LOST FLIER IS REPORTED SEEN (Continued from pajre 1) the Bering sea. The cause of this expedition was the statement of a trapper that he had seen a plane over Lake Chignlk, 20 miles from Chignik, an hour after Major Mar tin departed for Dutch Harbor. These men were not expected to return before Wednesday night at the earliest and probably not be fore the end of the week. Meager reports had come here today concerning the weather be tween Atka and Attu but those few indicated that storms which beset the aviators and which were believed to have caused Major Martin to go north instead s of sticking to his scheduled route which was southwestward, had been succeeded by pleasant wea ther, ideal for this time of year, was- reported at False Pass at the eastern end of the Aleutian island chain, as at Dutch Harbor, late ! yesterday. , The coast guard cutter Ilaida ac cording to the latest report re ceived was speeding to Atka to ee the flyers off there and the United-States fisheries patrol boat Ei der was due at Attu tomorrow. Aboard the Eider was Weather Observer ; Blair, who hoped to reach Attutn time to inform At tomorrow whether the weather was suitable for a flight. This communication is possible because of emergency wireless stations es tablished orTAtka and Attu at a time when It was thought that the Algonquin would be working with the Haida to aid the flyers. The time, four hours and fifteen minutes, made by the three flyers whpn they, went to Atka from Dutch Harbor Saturday was de clared the best attained since th expedition which started at Santa Monica, Cal.. March 17. left Seat tle April 6. Delayed dispatches stated that the flyers at Dutch Harbor, Lfeutenant Leigh Wade. were ready to go Friday, but de layed in the possibility that they might be called to assist in the hunt for Major Martin and that he might proceed with them. A dispatch from the Haida said: "Planes and personnel at Atka are okeh.".
