They plan to take flax fiber from the scutching stage and to spin it into yarns and weave the jyarns into cloth, and to market their fully finished products, j In other words, to carry, on all the operations above the fiber! stage, and to be prepared to encourage the flax industry up to that stage. That will likely be the first linen mill established in Salem. i Now that 13m C. Miles, after looking over the whole industry in this country and studying its operations in England, Scot land and Ireland, visiting the principal mills in those countries, including the gigantic operations in the Belfast district, writes that he is to hurry home and attempt to organize a oonipany to build a spinning plant, and perhaps a weaving plant, this will likely mean a second linen mill for Salem. j There is a third mill in sight for Salem, whenever there is suitable yarn to be had here, with a sure supply. It is the mill of Dr. Deimel, to make linen mesh faorics. ( Dr. Deimel will bring his own machinery,' and will employ some 1600 people. Dr. Deimel requires only 50 lea yarn. Mr.-Miles writes from Belfast that some of the flax fiber he took over from Salem has been spun jnto 90 lea yam in the Belfast mills, j The capital proposed for the first two mills will not be more than half that required for one paper mill. It should be easily provided, and, no doubt will be. j : r ' - There will be room. for these first two mills, and for 100 more like them, to say nothing of many specialty mills such as Dr. Deimel will build as soon as he can have a sure supply of ram. ' - " ' ' ' ' A MEXICAN VIEWPOINT! i The phrase "Peace at any price" hasi been revised, and by A Mexican, but applied to a country's internal difficulties and not to international strife. It is used in the editorial of the first issue of El Internacional, a Spanish language newspaper, just established, at El Paso and designed for; circulation along the border and 'in northern Mexico. The editorial director of the journal is Jose E. Campos, a distinguished Mexican journal ist, who for several years was managing editor of Excelsior, im portant Mexico City daily. Of the Mexican problem the editor ial says:" ; -': 1 -. ; V ., -(;,' "' ': :- "Convinced as we are that civil war is the origin of all the misfortunes that weigh heavily upon our country, we maintain that a government of whatever nature, although, not conforming in all its details to demorcatic prinoiples, is less dangerous to (society .than the most optimistic revolutionary promises. Mex ico's pressing need at the present day is peace, peace at any cost, even by moderating or extinguishing the liberating ' im petus which characterizes revolutionary movements that in the majority of cases is nothing but an outgrowth lot anarchy and delinquency. 1 ,;.H f- " 'Less politics and better administrative' words of our illustrious and great late President, Gen. Porfirio Diaz, whose name is gradually magnified in the course of time. Should our country adhere to this maxim it would not. today have to contend with politicians that exploit the ! people and such 'leaders that live at the expense of the laborer, and Mexico would be the richest and most powerful nation of Latin Amer ica; it would be a country where no one would ever think of agrarian problems' or in any other form of Bolsehvism, because agriculture ' and industry, properly expanded and developed, would satisfy the needs of every individual. J ' : "Law and authority must be respected above all things, and in this manner Mexico will attain ultimate peace and the laborious people of the nation will see with amazement the re growth of the wonderful natural resources of our country.' A SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT . ! - ' . . 1 i D. W. Norris of Milwaukee for Several years has absorbed some of the output of the Juvenile courts of that city and placed it on his 752 acre farm close by. The Norris farm now has 67 boys varying in age from 8 to 16 years. Nearly 75 per cent of these come from broken homes, those whose parents are divorced or separated, or where deaths has occurred among the parents. .,Not all the boys are waywanj. Some of them are simply homeless. - Mr. Nor ris and his mother are in charge of the home and they hate an able corps of assistants; j ;,j The boys are educated In books, Sut what" is better tby are taught the raising of fine crops, the mar keting of farm products. Including butter, cheese,- fruit and vege tables. The ptace Is conducted: as a real home. It has discipline but it also has plenty of recreation, the Idea being to have every boy grow up normal. The boys from the juvenile courts are here under practically no constraint, yet they seldom run away. !', This is j an imortant exerlment In boy culture. We must find some plan to absorb the youth that the home life does not ab sorb.

We have a wonderrully efficient boys' training school here in Salem, but a boy has to be con victed of crime In order- to gain admission. : The Corvallis home gives every deserving boy an op portunity to enter a home and grow up under conditions that will develop manly qualities and in spire the youth to better things. The Corvallis home has the same idea as' thl3 man Norris in Wisconsin, only he is able to bear the expense himself. This other home is a cooperative affair where people would like to do just as Mr. Norris does .but cannot. They can club their pennies together and are able to carry on this work. YES, IT. IS COMING There are Increasing evidences that prosperity is not only Just around the corner, but it is in our midst. Everywhere there are multlnlvinr evidences of better times. In the week ending Aug ust 2nd th-railroads of America carried pay freight to the number of 945?T31 cars, practically all commodities showed an Increase It Is virtually up to the highest standards of last year and an in crease of over 100,000 over the year before. ' - ' ' .; . The acceptance of the Dawes plan in Europe had a favorable effect on stabilizing the market here. Kuropc will now-Ve' our customers and can pay their bills. Usually there is discontent, strikes and disorder generally on a presl denlal election. This year there is nothing of the sort.' What dis content there was is fast disap pearing and the election is going to be conducted without any dis graceful . disturbances that $ so many special interests . believe should be staged every four years, Grain and grain products show 56,702 cars, an increase of C741 cars over the week before and of 3808 cars over the same week last year. . ; J In the western districts alone 40,087 cars were loaded with grain and grain products, an in crease of 6120 cars over the cor responding week in 1923. Improvement in general busi ness is. reflected la loadings of merchadise, which totaled 239, 804 cars, 1434 cars above the week before. These encouraging records sig nify renewed confidence in the stability of industry-and business. Undoubtedly the heavy loadings of general merchandise are due to increased buying under the stimulus of rising prices and an optimistic spirit In the agricultu ral regions of the west. . , IS IT TRUE? The Oregon Statesman yester day published a clipping from The Dalles Chronicle that was alarm ing and should call for some at tention, For. fear you missed It, the article is herewith re-published: -r Ki- "The Dalles prune growers have received far better prices for their crops than those in the Willam ette valley, according to J. AJ RigE3. a fruit " buyer, who has returned to his home in Wasco county after a business trip which took him over valley horticultural districts. While Wasco county prune growers have been getting $50 and $60 a ton for their fruit. those In the Willamette valley have been selling for around $25 and $30, Mr. Riggs said." If this condition is true, some body is to blame; somebody is fat tening: off the Willamette valley crop. There is no reason on earth why prunes should not sell at the same price ' in Salem as at The Dalle3. . f This is a subject that the cham ber of commerce or some of our service clubs should take up at once. ! It is so vitally Important that it should not be delayed. If this staement is true, somebody is preparing to pocket a few hundred thousand dollars at the eperise of "the ' Willamette ' valley prune growers. i A MIX-UP An unusual thing ha3 happened in the primary in eastern Oregon. Two candidates, A. B. Combs in cumbent and Mrs. Ingram filed for the democratic nomination for county clerk. A. W. Geddes filed on the republican ticket. - Combs got 1762 votes and Mrs. Ingram got 1541. Combs was duly duly nominated as. the democratic standard bearer. However Combs got 75 votes on the republican ticket and. Mrs. Ingram got 156. Geddes, the republican candidate. got only 75. There's the rub. Mrs. Ingram lost to Combs in her own party. But she beat Geddes on the re publican ticket. Is she the re publican candidate? In her pledge declaring party .. nomination she said she would not run on any. other party ticket If defeated In her own party. ,'" . ; f Combs beat her and she can not run as a republican. - Geddes, how ever, doc3 not appear to be the re publican nominee, for Combs got as many votes on the republican 3ide as he did. The law provides candidates must draw lots In tho a vent of a tie. However, Mrs. Ingram may claim the republican nomination If she does, tho thing will go into the courts to determine the constitutionality of the state law that prohibits a candidate from running on one ticket if defeated 3ti another. Some judges are said to doubt the constitutionality of the law. The nomination ; is not important. The principle Is. THE UXFIT 1XCREASIXQ : It is a matter of considerable concern that the unfit are permit ted to marry and rear families. The unfit . a.rc increasing beyond their just proportions. They are having larger families and they tre having more scrawny children Some of these days we must get over our squeamishness and the unfit must not only be refused marriage but must be rendered unable to marry. This is a matter of such great Importance that we can not afford to be prudish or sensitive. Tho strength and vigor of the race must be our first thought, and the weaklings must be denied birth. Legislation can do this, but it must be drastic and it must be enforced. 1 , , s Of course it Is nor a man's fault that he Is an imbecile, but It is so ciety's fault if there are more im beetles born Into -the world. We must handle this with ungloved hands and for the good of the en tire race. COUZEXS IS LINE Senator Couzen of Michigan is finally showing some sense. lie went to Washlngtpn-believing he was bigger than the worlds ,; He tried to hire Mike Heney to in vestigate for him, and believed he had upturned the government. It didn't -work out. There was a revulsion of feeling against a sen ator employing a sleuth to' get Information for him. It was en tirely un-American. Then after he went home Couz- ens said he didn't know whether he would support the ticket or not, but as the;? primary day is approaching he has seen the error of his ways and noiw announces that he is going to support the en tire republican ticket whether he is nominated or not. That declar ation is the one chance for his nomination. . . He ought not to be nominated. anyway. He is not the kind of man we need in the United States senate.! , THE GOLD .STANDARD As aj matter of fact, America is the only country that is really on gold standard;;' The money of every other country is fluctuating, which shows that it is not stabil ized by having one accepted, un changeable standard. Prof. Gustav ; Casel of Stock holm, fan authority on world mon ey conditions, tells the Institute of Bankers at London that the most Important thing for Europe to do lis to get back to the. gold standard, and in this step ho looks to Great Britain to take the lead. A few years ago we had a de mand here. for a doublo standard. Somebody suggested standardiz ing silver. It looked well, and it sounded well, but the sober sense of thejAmerican people triumphed and we did not go on a silver standard basis. However, the balance of the world has not been so fortunate. There is need of stabilizing the money'of the world in order to have it equal and equivalent value all over the world BUILDIXU A CHURCH The Oregon Statesman has watched with considerable inter est the work of building a Metho dlstchurch in West Salem". We have j never known a church to rise under such difficulties. There has been a goodj deaLof - heroism in church building, most of It In the pioneer days." Little of if has been in these later days. It was necessary however, to undergo these hardships, in order to get a church at all. Day by day, week by week, and little jby little the church building went up until now it Is enclosed and ready to be occupied. It is not. finished, however. What we wish to do Is to cattsattention to the splendid Christian spirit that' urged these people on. Dr. Haw thorne and his I supporters have practically been accomplishing the impossible. jij' BooK Review By VERA B&ADY BHIPKAS A FIELD BOOK OF WILD BIRDS AND THEIR MUSIC,: byj . Schuyler. Mathews.

The bookj was first published in 1904 and reprinted recently to fill a long felt want.: Where else is there such a book containing the bird: Call actually set according to musical pitch, on the staff, sd that the most scholarly or the pri mary beginner can place the notes and actually follow the song3 as they! are heard? There are many page illustrations of various birds in color. The birds are listed in family," andjeach branch is treated in de tail,! in form, color and size and then the ever-desired musical sounds located upon musical staves. The. whippoorwill is placed, as is alt branches of spar rowi, warblers. : cuckoo, wrens, thrushes, grosbeaks and' their bloctd relations,: :,, ,Tbe. book is a positive joy to blrdi lovers; its; pages are authen tically arranged by this professor of Harvard university and his na tional service to lovers of birdloro Is unquestioned. I j have never seen a more de lightful bird book.

Published by the L- C. Page company, Boston. Price $2.50 net. The late j Louis Elson was f for many years a musical authority. His musical dictionaries are au thentic pages of music valuations. This modern reprint brings the music of today with its modern istic jazzlike inclinations, into de finite tonal definitions. F,rom the early days of congregatonal sing ing of the first Protestant church es; the vogue of group singing ha!s fostered musical creation. Folktune3 are home tunes, in spired and transported through the ideals of congregational pre sentation, j The Indian and the negro the primal factors ", of American : folk .music, Yankee Doodle and its origin, church and secular music and its develop ment are all subjects adequately treated by. Elson In this new edition. x . ' Probably, the most new and in teresting part is the final chapter on modern musical tendencies of America written by Arthur Elson and bringing up to date the ten dencies treated in the previous chapters "by his illustrious father. The trend 'of war songs from the Revolution through the Civil and the World war, and what the mar tial spirit of music has meant, and the operatic ancestry of many of, our today's popular dance themes, makes the book a valuable hand book for the student of Ameri canization of music. The Indian finds careful survey, , both from tlie aesthetic of MacDowell and the dreamy idealistic Cad man and Lteurance melodies to the genu ine war and religious treads of the Indian music of torn toms. The book Is a delightful version of our own music. What student but what must know of his own? I j recommend the revision Of El son for his instant and almost daily perusal. MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Adelo Gagrls-jfTg iscw Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE Copyright b Newspaper Feature . : service : Chapter 348 THE QUESTION THE DON'S HANDKERCHIEF BROUGHT TO MADGE. What Dicky terms the "wheels" in my head revolved much faster than the automobile-motor on our return from the .shopping expedi tion to Easthampton upon which mv mother-in-law had insisted. "he reappearance upon my hori zon of the' mysterious Don Ramon Almirez, with his melodramatic message to my father, had set my imagination and my conjectures whirling. ' I That he was someone " I had known, I 'was sure by this time as sure as I was that the name by which the Southampton war-en- fiched family : had accosted him was a mask akin to,, his snowy moustaschois and beard and his thlck-lensed glasses- And. exas peratlngly elusive, there floated through my consciousness the knowledge of the identity that was his. I felt as though at any secj bnd I knight solve the riddle of his personality and I was annoyj ed beyond measure at trie dulness pf my own perceptions. j i "I wish I'd had a better look at that Don whatever fancy name "h? calls himself." My mother-in-law's voice sounded querulously from the tonneau. "I was plan ning tot give him a good square look when I passed him, but he had that fit o coughing and got out before I could, get down there. But I told you he looks like some body I've seen before. Wish I could remember who it was. Don't turn this corner. Go on around the wood road to Sag Harbor. The mail must be in by this time, and if you don't care anything about hearing from Richard, I do. There's surely a letter there by this time." ! I was so relieved at her change of subject that I scarcely noticed the feline little dig accompanying her demand to be taken to the postoffice. At that, II told myself half-guiltly, her fling was partly justified. I would have been glad, of course, to hear from Dicky, but I was not anxious enough about it to make a special trip to the postoffice upon Ihe exceedingly remote possibility that I would find a letter from jhim awaiting me. He is never an assiduous correspondent, and : I was perssi mistlc enough to believe that his present sojourn in a luxurious Adirondack camp as the guest of a successful author whose forth coming book he is to illustrate, would effectually lull his epistol ary conscience to sleep. "I Horns You're Satisfied!"; i v . j i Conscience compelled me to ad mit, however, that my knowledge of Dicky's dilatoriness, or even my pique at his reference to Edith Fairfax before he left, were not wholly responsible"' for my indif ference to his letters. I had been so absorbed in the melodramatic sequence of events which Lillian, Allen Drake and my father! were investigating and In which j I had just played a role at least (some thing better than "a walking part" that I had forgotten even the vague feminine ' resentfulness which had come to me when! I had learned .of his being invited: with out me to the wonderful summer camp. . j I Turning : obediently into the wood road, as my mother-Jn-law had directed, I made a feeble at tempt to save my face with an ob servation to the effect that! Jerry Ticer had gone for the mail every day, But the process, so success ful with our Chinese friends, fail ed dismally when confronted with my mother-in-law's captious; mood. "Yes, that's the trouble with the mail,", she rejoined tartly. "That Jerry Ticer doesn't) know he's on earth unless you take him by the collar and apply a leather belt to him." j As the good-natured, redoubt able Jerry is well over six feet of gangling boyhood and is mus cular in proportion, Mother Gra ham's suggestion of discipline made me glad that the exigencies of driving kept my face ;to the front with the smile I could not suppress averted from her critical eyes. And Junior automatically engaging her attention at the same moment, she made no more com ments until we had left the post- office after receiving -no mail, save some advertising matter. "Well, I hope you're satisfied!" she snapped as we turned; home ward, j A Sudden Apprehension, j She did not speaK again, al though, understanding thei I mater nal anxiety that was hers, I un- resentfully tried to make conver sation. But I soon gave it up as a : hopeless task and let my thoughts stray Instead jto the handkerchief and enclosed paper which lay at the bottom! of my handbag. The ruse of the dropped hand kerchief as Don Ramon Almirez jostled against Junior, with his nretense of its being mine, must have been carefully planned ,be- forehand. Had lie been waicning an opportunity for days ; to 'en counter me in just that apparently casual fashion? . I hurried straight to my room as soon as I had seen my mother in-law safely into the house, lock ed the door, and turning out the contents of my shopping bag up on the bed put out my hand to take ud the handkerchief the mys terious Don Ramon had given me hv a subterfuge. 1 And then with; a sudden little rnn striction of my heart such as the sight, of, something! deadly micht have caused, I recoiled from tho rilmv trifle, f Surely; ' I had 3cen that handkerchief before! , (To Be Continued) PJEW CORPORATIONS T The Thomas Creek lumber com pany with headquarters in Port innrt and canital stock of $25,000. has been incorporated by P.

Copyright 1924 By rIERE is much loose and inaccurate thinking pa the subject ' of evolution. Many people think of the development of monkeys into men when evolution is mentioned. Any funda mental truth can be given a distorted meaning or application if one, desires to do so, but such application does not destroy the soundness of the principle in q u est ioji. This is as true of evolu tion as of any other fundamental principle of nature or life. The Century dictionary defines cess of unfolding, or the state or growth from ... a germ or constantly applied to the physical m different forms. The deliciou-j apple we now enjoy is a de velopment from the hard, sour, impossible fruit of the past. The great variety of health-giving fruits now used in such great quantities is the product of the application of the law of evolu tion in this direction. The same is true of our grains, vegetables and flowers. Luther Iiurbank is the greatest living practical exponent of the law of evolution as applied to these vegetables, fruits and flowers. Others are active in applyiner the law to use ful animals with equally striking and successful results, i The highest and most beneficial application of the law of cvo- lution is found in the work done with mankind. Imperfect as man may be today, when the better type of man of this genera tion is compared with the corresponding type of four thousand years ago no one will deny that tained. We may not realize what changes have taken place in man until we compare our present mode of life and our use of the forces of nature to lessen our physical toil and improve our means of locomotion and communication with that of even five hundred years ago. These changes have all resulted from the unfoldment of the latent powers within man and are a practical application of the law pf evolution to life. ; . ; ' . The evolutionary work of the front that of all other workers. . The spiritual nature of man is the glory of his life. The development of this spiritual life is me jjMcimer vvuiiv ui me race, lire umoiumcHi. ot ine spiritual man is the solution of all the problems of life. The mysteries of the universe and of life will be revealed when man's spiritual na ture is so unfolded that he sees and understands with his spirit and employs the spiritual laws and forces in the work he has to do.! The Christian minister should be and is the "leader in the effort to develop this part of man's life. lie may not describe his Work in these terms but he is in fact a leader in the greatest evolutionary work the world has ever known or ever will know. Nothing can ever come out of a man's life except what is in him in embryo at his birth. 'All the spiritual possibilities that will be manifested in man hi eternity lie dormant ' within, hiiu when he comes into the world. It is the work of the Christian ministry to start these spiritual possibilities into action, to help make the conditions surrounding man favorable to their growth, to encourage man's effort in developing them and to give life to these awakening powers by the outpouring of his own spirit up on those to whom he ministers. The plan for carrying on this work changes with the changed condition of man and the minister's approach to the subject var ies; with the varying intelligence of those with whom he deals, but whatever his method the purpose is the same in all cases. Re directs men's thoughts to God. He tells them of His wonderful attributes, of His purity and goodness and of His love for them, His children. lie tells them pf the blessings God has to bestow and how anxious He is to give these blessings to His children if they will make themselves worthy to receive them. He pictures the glories of the heavenly state and the joy of association with the; angels of God. lie incites them to prayer and to pure living that they may bring themselves into harmony: with God that they v-.f ,-i.o ui iuia. liC ICIUIMU I ill 111 Ul IUC llCCCS- Sity of obeying God's commands and urges them to deal justly and mercifully with their fellow men. ' ;"T:"-" J v; -.- - - .? ; . . All this effort has one supreme purpose and that is to start in those to whom he ministers an action of their higher, their spirit ual life, and to keep them in an attitude where they can receive the ministration of the Divine Spirit. By this means the spirit ual nature of man is started into actibn-and-by frequent incita tion to renew this action man is aided in unfolding his higher life. God's spiritual life that lies dormant in the natural man would not in eternity be unfolded to control his action if he never took thought of the higher things and never gave action to that part of4his life that allies him to the spirit of God. Teachers are employed to train the minds of the young that they may enlarge their mental capacity, control their thought and give it profitable direction, enlarge their understanding and broaden their reason. By this process man is evolved from a state of ignorance and mental inaction into a state of intelli gence and knowledge. No one questions the benefit of this form of the evolution of man. The Christian minister is a spiritual teacher and his is the work of starting ah action in the higher life of man, of giving direction to the action and developing his capacity to live and work in a spiritual way. His work is de signed to start and aid the unfoldiong of the divine in man. This is evolution in its higher application. It is the culmination of all the work that has preceded it. When this evolution has been accomplished man conies into the fullness of life, into the reali zation of the life eternal.
