THE REASON MADGE RACKED
HER MEMORY
"What's the matter -with the
car?" I struggled Taliantly to
r make my voice as matter-of-fact
as Dicky's had Bounded- - I saw
that he had dismissed our recent
tempestuous adventure as if it
never had occurred, and I resolved
to match his apparent nonchal
ance with equal poise. . -.

showed the effects of his crawling
beneath his car. "The blamed
thing "simply died at first out
there. " Luckily It gave me a few
dying gasps to warn me, and I
i was able to tole it' In here out of
the road. But I don't know for

"Is there anything I can do?" I
asked innocently enough, but
Dicky's sour glance showed that
my query had Irritated him. How-

ever, there was no trace of his an
noyance in his answer. Perhaps
the remembrance of the last hour
of two was more vivid than 1 had
thought."
"Not a thing here." he said,
then with a , reluctant grin, he
added, "but neither can I, so
which would you rather do, go to
the nearest telephone and summon
a garage man, or stay here while
I do it?" h,
"I think I'll stay here, If you
don't mind," I answered with the
swift reaction . against , driving
which I might have expected to
follow my mad dash through the
wood road. j
' "All right, I won't be long, I
don't think that road-house a
couple of miles back Is closet yet,"
and in another, minute he had
climbed into , my car and had
driven away, leaving me sitting on
the grassy bank by the side of his
stalled car. i
I was glad, indeed, of the
chance to pull myself together
after the nervous strain and shock
of the past hour or two. -Resolutely,
however, I put but of my
mind the quarrel! with Dicky. It
had left nothing settled as to my
aiding Iillian. but I guessed that
Dicky would be as willing to com
promise his position on that as I
secretly was, and Iherefore we
could find a common meeting
ground upon the proposition. So I
gave myself up to. the lure of the
autumn woods stretching around
me on every side, and revelled in
the rich sensuous coloring of
leaves and vines and mosses.
Waiting for Dicky.
So exhausted mentally was I
that for minutes of whose dura
tion I had no measurse I thought
of nothing save the beauty around
me. For me the problems which
were troubling Lillian and my own
more personal 1 ones were as
though they never had been. Then,
as the heady autumn air and the
scents . of the woods brought
strength and healing to my over
wrought nerves,! my brain .began
to function aagin, and there
came again to .me as there had
come many times in the hours
since my return a searching in
quiry as to the possible Identity of
the mysterious foreigner who had
annoyed me on the train with his

Not Alone a City Bank
Not all of our patrons, here, ' at the United
: States National, are residents of; Salem. People
from all parts of Marion County send their de
posits in and do all of their banking by mail.
Of course, they come in to see us when they
drive to town on business matters , because they
realize that they should become known at their
bank and learn of the .many; different services
' we can render them. - '
- Perhaps. banking by mail would suit your con
venience, too.'. Let us tell you about it.

The bustle f ollowinr my home
coming had . been such that I had
had no opportunity to go over the
Incidents of ray journey and try to
fit them together as one would the
pieces of a picture puzzle. And
yet I felt that the complete pat
tern was there if I could but find
a missing piece or two which
something told me my memory
ought to supply.
Vague Memories
It was maddening, this sense of
something which I ought to know.
but which was just beyond my
grasp. I carefully went over ev
ery minutes of my enforced asso
ciation with the mysterious for
eigner, trying to recall every de
tail of his appearance.
He had been unusually tall and
well-built, his abundant hair was
white, his moustache and imperial
which I had decided were a dis
guise were also white, , his eye
brows -
With a sudden leap of my
pulses I tried to recall his eye
brows, remembering the things
iLillian had said when I was de
scribing the man Smith of the
Ashokan reservoir imbroglio to
her. I had noticed that part of
Smith's eyebrow had been plucked
like that of a vain woman, and
she had declared her belief that
the man had done It to disguise
distinguishing mark of a
tufted eyebrow.
How I anathematized my lack
of observation as I realized that I
could recall nothing definite
aoout the mysterious foreigner s
eyebrows. I had a vague Impres
sion that they were heavy and
white, but with nothing unusual
about them. 1 Was it. possible
that " .:!:
The sound of horses feet from
the woodland road Into which
Dicky had drawn his ear startled
me from my reverie, t There were
voices, too, one the crisp, author
itative accents of an American
man of affairs, the other, the ap
parently deferential, almost ser
vile voice of a laborer. But
there was something in the ac
cents of the second voice which
brought me to my feet breathless
waiting, j
Japanese Import Wheat
As Rice Prices Advance
VANCOUVER, B, C., May 7.
(By Mail.) Advances in the price
of natice rice are forcing Japan
to buy Canadian- wheat in heavy
quantities, according to T. Shimu
saki, representative of a Tokio
milling firm, who Is investigating
the wheat situation. :' 1
' Mr. Shimusakl ' said Canadian
wheat could be Imported by Japan
at about 15 cents a bushel cheap
er than Japanese wheat could .be
produced, and was much cheaper
than rice. The Japanese people.
he added, have vcome to refer
wheat to rice. ' , ' " ;
'' Japan has imported 80,000 tons
of Canadian wheat in the last
three months, according to stat-
tistics of the port of Vancouver
China also has been a heavy pur
chaser, taking 120,000 tons.

Better Homes in America will di
rect demonstrations of the best
types of homes compatible with the
income of the American of mod
erate means. The movement has
the strong endorsement of repre
sentative men and women of the
country. President Coolidge, chair
man of the Advisory Council of
Better Homes in America, says of
this important educational organi
zation: We need attractive, worthy,
permanent -homes that lighten the
burden of housekeeping. We need
homes in which home life can reach
its finest levels, and in whieh can
be reared happy children and up
right citizens. I commend partic

strations and in the other work of
the movement to the American
people.

on Ticket to Represent'
. Western Oregon r
There is only one candidate for
the republican : .nomination for
public service commissioner, who
is a resident of Salem. The fol
lowing is a biographical sketch of
the Salem candidate:
E. T. Busselle, Salem, Ore., re
publican candidate for public serv
ice commissioner, Western Oregon
district, was born at Shelby ville.
Ind' May 9. 1877. After finish
ing school in Indiana be entered
the field of telephony, first as a
worker in field and then advanced
from time to time until in the year
of 1903 he was appointed to the
position of supervisor for the state
of Indiana. After holding that
position about six years he decided
to 'come west, which he did in the
year 1909, locating first in Boise,
Idaho, and then in Portland, Ore.
For the past fourteen years he has
been identified with engineering
and supervisory. work in the field

COGUDCE,
who was founder of this movement
and is now a member of its Board
of Directors, i says: "Every good
American home is an altar for the
soul of the world. Every good
American . home is a bulwark
against the desecration, the weak
ness, the selfishness, all the other
vices, which corrode the human
heart and destroy the peace of the
world. What matter it if a nation
be great in industry, in commerce,
in politics, if she be not also great
in her homes?" '
Dr. Livingston Farrand, Presi
dent of Cornell University, a mem
ber of the Better Homes Advisory
Council, writes: "If the objects of
the Better Homes campaign could
be completely realized the baffling
problems of the country would be
largely solved. Every, year of ex
perience makes it more and more
evident that our difficulties phys
ical, moral, economic and civic
must be met by better prepared and
better ' trained individual citizens.

pointed to the position of engineer
with the railroad commission- of
Oregon (later this name was
changed to the public service com
mission of. Oregon), which posi
tion he resigned from in the year
E. T. BUSSELLE
of 1917 and entered private prac

which practice he has remained to
the present time.

This improvement is more depend
ent upon home conditions than
upon all other factors put together.
The inference is obvious."
J. Horace McFarland, president
of the American Civic Association,
and also a member of the Advis
ory Council, writes: "I believe the
Better Homes in . America move
ment has bees launched at the psy
chological moment to- do the most
good to the most communities in
this country."
Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, also a mem
ber of the Advisory Council, says:
"I am strongly in sympathy with
the Better Homes movement. It
is practical, j Its aim is to bring
us back and hold us firm to the
fundamental institution underlying
every country or civilization the
home. - By the quality of our homes
we stand or fall, for the home is
the 'power house of the line. Any
thing we can do to help the home
we should do."
of Pythias, j Mr. Busselle is also
a certified member of the Ameri
can Association of Engineers and
a registered, professional engineer
in Oregon. ! He has never held . a
political position. Mr. Busselle has
the endorsement of the American
Association of Engineers. '
Slogan: "Revision of unbal
anced and disproportionate rate
burdens will be my first undertak
ing."
Platform: "If nominated and
elected I wUl during my term of
office conduct same in an impar
tial manner in the interests of all
the people. "With more than
twenty years experience in public
utility matters and four years as
engineer of the public service
commission of Oregon I believe
myself competent to obtain re
sults for the people generally
with regard to unbalanced and
disproportionate rate burdens. 1
pledge m-3elf to a thorough inves

upon which rates for service are
based. I will extend my every ef
