James 2:8,9. . , ! PRAYER: Dear Heavenly creation; make us an trulyTbine ; - "YOUR SUMMER PLAYGROUND" i'J-if. ' ! ' -: i . 1 . If you live in this state, you have no tloubt noticed during the past few weeks an unusual number of tourist cars bearing - California license plates traveling the Oregoii highways and byways j. -.;. , And "there is a reason." In fact, there are a number of reasons. Some of them have been here beforehand others have friends and relatives and V neighbors who have been here before, and the reputation of Oregon as having the most enjoyable summer climate in the ,t world has been spreading Also, the printed ( word has been v; helping in this movement. For instance, the publicity depart ment of the' Portland Chawiber of Commerce is carrying on an advertising campaign in the newspapers of California. A big . advertisement; appeared in the Los Angeles Times of last Sun Jl day, illustrated by pictures of tourists fishing, boating, bathing and viewing the magnificent scenery of Oregon with some views of the scenery, like Mount Hood, Multnomah Falls, and Mount Jefferson and the Three Sisters. There are display lines, 4 like these: "Your Summer Playground,' j" The Vacation ' State," ''Land of Opportunity," ''Oregon Invites 1 my etc., and the wording of the body of the advertisement is as fol- lows: 1 ' j m i j r "Now that the hysteria in connection with the foot and mouth disease is over and the restrictions : of travel have been much modified, the people of California are invited to enjoy a real holiday in ? their neighboring state of Oregon. 13y rail, by sea, and by automobile the trip to Oregon is inexpen- sive and alluring. Californians will find their most 7 ' ideal vacation in Oregon. There, is everything C which makes outdoor life perfect enjoying the marvels of Crater Lake, the most : wonderful thing J , r" in nature . in America ; climbing the snow-capped j peaks of Hood, Jefferson-, and the Three Sisters; , camping in its evergreen cathedral-like forests ; fishing its rivers and streams for salmon, trout , and bass; bathing on its sea-shore and in its lakes; motoring over its paved highways, over undulating hills and through flower-bedecked meadows. ! . There is no more perfect vacation than in Oregon. . , "Oregon lis at its best just now. Its luxurious i -J verdure, wondrously cool and refreshing, delights the visitor at every turn. "Oregon offers opportunities to the settler and prospective new residentj marvelously productive. ! the Union, It grows some of the finest fruits in Ameriea, arid farms and orchards may be procured at reasonable prices in most beautiful situations. "Portlanjl and her sister cities offer opportuni ties to the manufacturer and to the business man. j "Decide now to come to Oregon for a' change of scene and f climate, to enjoy your well earned vacation antl secure new vigor of mind and body. Xr:t ti,ii. ; i , . ; t, mc vr uuu&ici, ruau iuai, anu any iiiiorma- tion to Pu of Commerce, Portland, - That is all vefar good; well worded, and the display is ap propriate and attractive. No doubt this advertising campaign is' responsible for aiargei'part of the tourist travel in Oregon r from California, and from other states by people coming through 1 California. : -? p; -1 , j" ' : . The direct results and the direct returns ' are great and 4 growing; but the big thing will follow in the indirect results. i he tourists will find that Oregon is more than a land of oppor tunity. It is a country of diversity, and it is a place of wel come. Our people are good neighbors. They are fairly good greeters, and they are improving in this respect i i But we' will rise to the full stature of pur opportunities when.we get the real spirit, like unto that permeating the very nsouI of all our neighbors to the south, the California spirit. r If. this spirit culd be rendered as catching as the foot and Mnouth disease, it would be the greatest thing that ever happened to Oregon; every single Oregonian would take it this summer and fall, from the great crowd of California visitors coming - anu lo.come. ; j The celery growers on the Million Dollar Highway in the s Labish district have for their objective, in the next two or three years, a thousandjears of celery annually. They will reach it, without a doubt, jbecause they can beat the world on quality. 1 1 They are also going to send out a thousandjears annually of . head lettuce before long. And perhaps they will produce more if than4hat much asparagus, to be put into cans. Along about ': that time they will have to rename their highway. They will i have to call it the Ten Million Dollar Highway. i . 'Irrigated flax more than 40 inches tall is being produced in the Salem district; and as fine as ever grew. There are a number of grower using irrigation, but one of them, Roy Witzel of Turner; has 20 acres of irrigated flax that will average 40 , inches. This land is producing flax this year that will make , t more than J00 pounds of fiber to the acre. Call it 1000. Such , fiber is now worth 42 cents a pounds That means $420 an acre. Also, the same acre of flax should have seed bringing more than $25. But take thje 1000 pounds of fiber and spin it and weave it and fashion and hem it into linen handkerhciefs, and it will bring at retail $1.50 an ounce, or $24 a pound. It will bring more in lace, and several other forms; tapestry, for instance In linen handkerchiefs; that means $24,000 an acre. There is nothing else coming from the ground that will bring as much , money value, excepting oil or diamonds or -gold or silver or copper of other minerals. And these will not last forever. The fertility of the soil, producing flax, properly- conserved will last forever. The coming $100,000,000 annual linen industry in the Salem district will require the use of less than 100.000 acres THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON - If ana far - liur If anager Job lepv.

Eve. Post ran about 20 yearsjti'ago. It ran thus: if "This is Adee." said the second assistant secretary of state oyer the phone. n "A. "D. what?" f .'. "Not A. D. anything. AdeeU A. Adee." ' ' . ; ":'.; "Spell it." f "A. " If 'Yes 4 A. , J a.. "Yes." f'A". 'Oh, go to- There Is just one thing wrong with this story. Mr. Adee was as deaf as a post and could no more talk through a telephone than any thing in the world. J By the way he was a very use ful man and the state department will miss his thoroughness and ef fectiveness. He had no politics He Was just an American devoted td: the service of the government through the state department.' A PITY ' It is a great pity that through a technicality a scandal should have arisen in the soldiers' home at Roseburg. Such things have no business getting before the public. j A; mistake was made, but it was onelthat could have bees easily remedied. A soldier of the Spanish war! living in another state ap plied for admission and should have been given it temporarily withjoutquestion. Over zealous- nesat operated to bring that well intfntioned institution into disre puteL ' There Isn't a taxpayer In Oregon who does not want every disabled soldier from any war properly cared for until his case can be fairy disposed of. ? This was a "tempest In a tea- pot.fj It was made of Importance by ver-zealous employes. In the future such things should be guarded against, help anybody. They do not THE BANKERS' CONFERENCE There is a conference at Corval lis today of bankers and farming interests. The plan is to work out1 some means of helping ; the farmers This is a very sensible and very feasible plan. The bankers all ovej" the country profit most by the 'prosperity of the people. When times are hard, and things go wrong the bankers can not make money. They thrive on prosper ity.! The farming situation Is not good. The bankers have l the money and If common ground can be found they can finance the farniers better than the govern ment can, and not lose a cent by it. In fact they can make their interest. j The bankers are' doing their best tp serve. They realize that their success and progress , is through service, and theyi are meeting the challenge of this diffi cult hour. SI IT OUGHT TO BE DONE An effort is being made to pad lock the , big Ritz Carlton ; hotel in New York for one year. " The high-up biims in New York have insisted that the prohibition law was never meant for them. They haye defied it in every possible way. They have spit upon it and done their best to make it ob noxious. There is no reason why they should be above the law. f The law was made for everybody.; Pro hibition is so strong that no na tional convention could denounce it, and both parties nominated dry candidates. " - Padlocking this big hotel will bring some of those fellows to their senses and they -will realize the fact that they are living under Uhjlted States laws and will be treated as any class of citizens. THE PRICE OP HAY A Salem man who has a small quantity of hay was debating whether to feed it or sell it. Be was told that hay was going to be high this year, and unless he needed the animals very badly it would be worth more to sell it. There is a good deal of sense in this. - ' " j ; . j :' The hay crop in California is a failure. The livestock must he fed down there, and the easiest place to get feed is from Oregon. There Is every reason to believe that the hay is going to bring an unusually high price,, and unless livestock comes up proportionate ly, which it is not likely to do, the. man who has hay to sell is going to be in luck. ' r PRE-ELECTION SPEAKER 1 il :.: ' 1 i j- The Oregon Statesman is right glad that there is a protest against the pre-election of the speaker lot the house. It is a wholesome pub- Ho sentiment that protests against the fixing. A legislature hog-tlej from the start cannot accomplish anything. - It can breed the seeds of revolution, and if this program Is carried out it wjjl be an easy matter to organize a politica revolution In Oregon. It has been done In other states with less prov ocation. ; ' ! , i L. H. McMahan has the courage to speak out in protest against this. W"e need more men of that courage; in the j legislature. We need men who will fight for the people's-rights, j LISTENING IN . It is said that John Hays Ham mond, a great engineer, has per fected a plan 'for secrecy in the radio. If this is true, it is the most stupendous' step forward that radio has made. The world de mands secrecy, j The world de mands radio, and now it has it, and that radio must be made to serve the purposes of : man. Radio will be; more useful than the telegraph. It is Just as useful as the telephone. With a broad casting and receiving set, two men can hold a conversation of any length,! The radio will speed up business more than the automo bile has. It will even hinder the development of tlje flying ma chine. , It is something new that has met a long-felt want speed. I)ISIOSEP OF The wonderful ape' men - who terrorized St. Helens vicinity for a few days were interestingnews but when they began to pall their creators,, very kindly shot both of them. ;Xow, iti may seem a very cruel thing to shoot as rare spec! mens as these, yet jt was the only thing to be done,; - The public read the three: days wonder and then ceased to be interested When the public begins to laugh something must be done, and the public began tp laugh at the cre ators of these men apes. The something to be done was to kill them,; I Cruel? Yes, very cruel, but necessary under; the circumstances ' l ; THE DAWKS PLAN .1 i The i premiers of Europe are making a decided effort - to put the Dawes plart into operation. It was accepted" as the solution of their difficulties. Now they have a disagreement as to its operation We may have to send General Dawes jover there to tell them how a. i a. to operate nis-pian. It is apparent that every step of progress must be made by out side influences. European jeal ousiegjarc so acute that the na tions there cannot agree on any thing, j The Dawes plan is the sal vation of Europe, and it is a pretty state ot affairs if they can not agree upon Its execution. A REAL RADICAL If the Idea is to get a real radi cal for president, William Z. Fos ter offers his candidacy. Mr. Fos ter is hot only radical in America but he went tp soviet Russia and took aj course in radicalism. Upon his graduation he returned to Amerifca and has been the reddest of theireds since that time. His; platform differs but little from that of La Follette's. They will bpth go in the same direction, so that if a man is a radical he should throw off all limits and make jthe Journey with Foster. The! real test of character is not the bumps on the, head, the shape of the nose, the droop of the mouth, or the twinkle of the. eye. It is the ability of man to fit In his environment. That's the real test, i . THE LIGHT HOUSE By George S. Chappell i WILD WILLIES : ! i' ' Diet ' "" Willie, at an early age 4 Found a pot of mucilage.
