F. 'Beyerl, the manager, would not feel that things were in their normal 'condition down there if some new thing was not under way; some short cut to bring down expenses or some ex periment going on to make a bet ter product.! A newi bleaching plant has just been installed. It is the second one of its ; kind in the United States. It originated in Finland. The new plant will do the work better than , the old one; and cheaper, and a great deal more of it. The capacity had to be en larged, so the new plant was put it, and the old one will be taken out. ; It is out of date. Too ex pensive. Then there is another new thing. It j is an experimental plant. If there is anything, found out that is new, in any part of the world, looking to the making of better paper or to making it cheaper, the Salem mill experi mental plant will try it out. If it is proved good. It will be adopt ed, either soon, or at a future time when enlarged capacity, is needed in that particular branch. So Salem's big paper mill is not only one of the finest and best in the world, but its managers pro pose to keep it that way, , PICKING PRICE FOUR BITS The ruling price for picking hops this season will probably be 50 cents a box. -This appears to be the opinion of local growers at the present time, although 'there has been no concerted action as the growers; are not in any way organized and act individually whnjt pot" to flTtn? prife. DOING OMEUG there Is every indication of a good crop not a bumper one by any means but probably an average yield. This is due in a large measure to the intensive cultiva tion whlth was followed In all of the yards. This cultivation Is started early in the season and Is continued persistently as long as it is possible to do the work. Pickers will have one big ad vantage this season. The foliage is going to be light and this means much easier and faster picking. Many pickers . have already signed up and the indications are that there will be no trouble from this source. The manager of one of the largest yards in this dis trict announced last week that he L had already signed up a full crew. The crop situation is better than the market situation at this time. According to -reports from England a bumper crop will be harvested there and if this proves the case it is going to have a very material effect on the price. Many of the crops for. this year are not sold, and the grower is in rather a ticklish situation. Buyers are not in the market, or at least, "if so, in a limited way and then at a price concession. A number of contracts have been made for 1925 and 1926 crops, but the 1924 crop was not want ed even at price concessions. There is - one thing which the hop buyers agree upon, and that 1s the Independence district is maintaining its standard for grow ing quality hops. The buyers keep in close touch with hops dur ing the growing period and all are free to admit that local growers have the edge on the other dis tricts. Independence Enterprise. E SUING DUTIES "I have never shirked any duty of my office purposely and do not propose to begin now," said County Judge W. H. Downing yesterday. The remark was a comment on the report published in the evening paper inferring that he was remaining away from his office to avoid hearing the charges of insanity filed against La Ronda M. Pierce by Dolly Qnartier, erstwhile Queen of the Bootleggers." j The paper I was mistaken in two respects, according to the judge. In the first place the summons for Pierce's appearance is in the hands of the sheriff who will serve it as soon as Pierce can be found. The absence of the judge irbm his office cannot, therefore, have any connection with the Pierce case. As a matter of fact, the reason why he was out of the city was that he was supervising some threshing being done on his farm two miles north of Shaw. Efforts of the sheriff's office to locate Pierce to serve summons have Ten in; vain. His mother credited with the statement viai xa. minda left the city on a short trip before the complaint was filed, but will return within the next few days' to voluntarily answer the summons , of the court. ; Pays Tribute to Women's Devotion A tribute to the devotion of women who will risk life itself. or the living death of dishonor for the men they love is . paid by Thomas H.
