Miles of that eity is investigating the industry in England, Scotland and Ireland. In a letter, he declare that the spinning of flax fiber, and making twines and' cloth in Ore- gon is enureiy leasioie. . "Fiber from Oregon grown flax was exhibited at the Phil adelphia World Fair in 1876 and declared by experts to be as good as is produced in the world." Flax from a new variety of seed grown on a farm near Salem was 52 inches high with fiber cf great strength. It grew on a field that had been in.the flax crop four. consecutive years without use of-fertilizer and the grower insists that his experience explodes the- myth that flax cropping exhausts the land. 1 f ? C ! 5 'A bundle of flax straw, grown on a Marion county farm and exhibited at spinning mills in Belfast, Ireland, was declared by experts to be the best they had ever seen, and a grade that cannot be grown in Ireland. '"i - V 1 Jt "Napkins "were made by Irish linen mills'frpm an average field run of Oregon grown flax. Fifty-one dozen of them were brought to Portland and sold at Lipman & .Wolfe's. A letter from the Irish manufacturers which accompanied the napkins, said, 'the fiber from which the linen was made was of such quality that it was equal for spinning to the highest grade. "Samples of Oregon fiber exhibited at a great exposition in Belgium were the subject jof surprise and comment by experts, who declared the product equal if not superior to any they had ever seen. Among the authorities who joined in universal praise cf the Oregon product were men from the British and Irish linen mills. - . - ; ' - -'-Vv? .; " All doubt as to the adaptability of Oregon soil and climate to the production of flax for fiber was long ago removed. The willingness of farmers to grow the crop is constantly exhibited :: n i a it. : . , i rrl . a - mm y.np Taw mHipnni hum a busy and profitable flax industry waits only for Capital and raen of experience and pash, is self evident. Salem is the center of a district where flax growing is well understood. It is the former home of the late Mrs. Governor Lord, who pioneered in notation for the inidustry. and it ought to be the site of a great linen milL'-- .....w-:-.-. li ; The above from the Portland Journal is very kind, and it is all true . ', - .: ; ' ii:rk:. tJ,- Anda great deal more can be truthfully said in favor of a great linen mill in Salem practical things, outside of the realm of sentiment. Among them these things: . , The protective duties are now very favorable, running as high as 55 per cent for fine linens. Machine pulling has come, running the cost of harvesting from around $30 an acre to as low as $1.53 an acre. Threshing and cleaning costs have been lowered with improved machinery. Warm; water retting has vastly cheapened, that process. (Mechanical retting will be a later story.) Costs of scutching have been lowered, by the , inventor of anew machine. Thisprocess may go on throughout the year, by using humidifiers.." Later, no doubt, drying after retting will be done" artificially. 5 The time is almost here.' There are short cuts in spinning and weaving, and especially in bleach ing and damasking. The age of machinery and modern chemis try have done wonders in this oldest of all textile industries And there is room right now in Salem and the Salem district for a hundred linen mills and specialty manufacturing concerns connected with thi3 industry. Room for a million people to be employed here directly and indirectly in this industry. It is bigger than most people dream of. Henry Ford sees it, and he is no dreamer. Every one will see it before long. The biggest flock of millionaires in Oregon will be our linen industry mil lionaires, in the years to come. - r ' JUST C03ION SENSE The markets are never Inflated for any length of time. Some par ticular man may attempt to get a corner on one commodity but it does not last long. It gets back to the law of supply and. demand. Last year the price of wheat was low. In Canada they raised 4T4, 199,000 bushels, more than 40 0,. 000.000 bushels was, arailable for export and was exported. "This year the Canadian crop Is. estim ated at 192.157,000 bushels less than it was a year ago. The same condition applies to crops in other countries and there never was any serious condition but what the farmers affected would soon 'find satisfactory readjustment. The complaint was that they were readjusted last. ; This was because there' was a tremendous crop of wheat in the country. , Special legislation was attempted to rem edy the situation and failed but the farmers worried along. Far mers know that, crops reestablish the parity of prices in. America. Wheat Is not alone In its fluc tuation, some times potatoes sell for 4 0c and 50c a bushel, other years for $3.00, and S4.00. Cop per before the war was 30c a pound. It Is now down to 13c. On the other hand lead is selling ar ound Sc when 4c was considered a fair price before the war. This means that the supply of copper In tl worli exceed the demand, wLIIa th3 C.ua-I Ut leal li . . Editor V uitw Job Atpt - S89 . 10 Oregon, aa second eiaaa waiter. PR0P03AL .11 J i : jl . .1 nil fisf nepnen ii r iiRveinniniT greater than the supply. We heard more about the farmers because there were more farmers than cop per producers.1 i'il'l'-- i i It Is very satisfactory to notice that the farmers are going to be prosperous. They will receive In round figures $657,000,000 more for their products than they did in 1923. According to tabulations completed by the Continental and Commercial banks, Chicago, the total value of all ; farm , products in 1924, exclusive of. fruit and live stock will be $7,734,000,000. In 1923 it was $7,077,000,000. The list includes wheat; corn, oats, barley,' rye, flax, potatoes, sweet potatoes, hay and cotton. Winter wheat harvest, the mid dle western bank helleres, is near enough complete to put the 1924 production fairly accurately at 589000.000 bushels. Spring wheat is estimated at 235,000,000 bushels as of August 1. This gives a total yield of nearly 825,000.00 bushels, compared with 786, 000 000 bushels in 1923. The Pacific northwestern yield is lighter this year, but the country as a whole has a crop about 5 per cent larg er. The good wheat market this year, degplte the big yield, is due to a world shortage of 10 per cent. Corn remains the most valuable crop in the lump sum with a 1924 crop- valued at $2,574,000,000. Cotton is next with $1,544,000,000 and hay third with $1,260,000. 000. Wheat stands" fourth with 1571,000,000. ' - . - ' In each Instance, with. the . ex ception of corn, the values are ahead of 1923.- Wheat beats 1923 by4 $167,000,000, The Chicago bank estimates a carryover and surplus for export this year of 275.000.000 bushela of wheaU LABOR AND CAPITAL The Oregon Statesman is in re ceipt of a publication .accompan ied by a personal letter from War ren S. Stone stating that labor is going into ' the banking business and expects to have a better un derstanding between capital and labor. The fact is that labor hopes to become capital and has already established ten banks. , We . are heartily glad of this. We need labor, we need capital, we must have both. 'They have not been having a good understanding. La bor has been growing more intel ligent constantly and capital more reasonable. Not only is labor go ing Into the banking buainess, but it is going into other business. : .Two hundred and fifty electric light companies, for example,! are now selling their stock on easy terms to employes. One-half of the stockholders of Armour & Co. are employes. The Pennsylvania Railroad and the Philadelphia Rapid Transit -companies' have sold large blocks of stock to em ployes. The Brotherhood of Lo comotive Engineers is reported to command 100 '. million dollars through Its interest In "nine labor banks. A recently established la bor bank In New York City is said to , have taken In over five millions In deposits the first day it opened.' 'Within t the shadows of Wall Street labor has estab lished banks of Its own. These are, Just; few Illustra tions of hov; rapidly .American workingmen are becoming capital ists through high wages and' co ordinated savings. Restricted im migration will continue to advan tage labor and an enlarging stake in industry should result ia reduc ing discontent, eliminating strikes, and minimizing friction. V--i' GOING SOME The Oregon Statesman in Its Sunday issue had 1680 Inches of paid dislay advertising. One of the cheering things about this Is that 110 different firms were re presented. Salem does not have the Dig advertisers like some of the cities but it has the little adver tisers growing into large business. The business in the mercantile line is done so largely by adver tising that when these merchants grow into ' their full size, Salem will he double its population and will attract trade for four times the distance it does now.. Trade must not only be Invited it must be pulled. Advertising Invites it and pulls it in. As the advertise ments are read they create an ap petite ; for Just' the things adver tised. . Our 1680 inches of paid adver tising to say nothing of several hundred lines of readers, is a pret ty good showing for one issue in the month of August. A WOMAN GOVERNOR ' Texas is going to have a woman governor. There will be some talk to the contrary, but she is nom inated on the democratic ticket. If a candidate does not want to be elected he must keep off the democratic ticket in Texas. Mrs. Ferguson went in on a grievance for her husband who spent ' so much money that he : was im peached in order to save the good name of the state and he will be vindicated through her. It is one of the situations created in our republic. : . ' . ' . .. - Here while we have these things that are heartbreaking we know that the aum total of government in America Is contentment, :. pro gress and a higher standing all the time. So let it go., f KEEPING UP THE NAVY The friends of an abnormal navy are making strenuous efforts to keep up the magnitude of the navy and 'perfect what we have. We must have a navy, of course, but there is no reason why in these times when taxation is so high ' that we should spend un necessary millions on a navy. The propaganda for a big -navy is wicked 'and it must not be per mitted to deceive the American people. America Is not going to have another war. If It does It will not be with an army or navy It will be In the air with weapons so deadly that the worlds' war would be childs play in compari son. There has been such gigan tic strides made in perfecting ex plosives that to preserve our race there must not be another war. The general prosperity of the country can only come when la bor is continuously and profitably employed. Capital can only make money under exactly the : same conditions. They are not enemies, they, are friends. One of the ' re sults of the distribution and pros perity is the rapid spread of co operation on the part of em ployees. Not only ,1s labor well represented in the industrial in- Btltutions,' but ' the laboring men all over America' are owners of homes and are driving automo biles, they are dressing well, they are looking after their future com fort, they are bringing up happy, contented familltles. All this has a tempering effect upon the minds of the agitators and only the rad icals are now left to wield a blud geon of discontent and dissatis faction. A better understanding all around means a happier Am ericanism. . :, - . 2.- DESTROYING FEAR -A chemist claims to have dis covered a drug. that puts courage In the heart of a man. We are afraid of that drug. Whiskey does that. One drop of the boot leg whiskey sold In Salem it ad ministered to a jackrabbit would make it, so brave that it would spit in the face of a bull dog. It is not good for the country to have this. ' No artificial courage la' to be desired, what we want to build up man is strong hearts, strong pur poses and strong desires for right eousness then : everybody will be brave. ' ' The Oregon Statesman has re peatedly expressed its displeasure with straw votes. They mean nothing even when they go our way. Not a vote in any election was ever influenced by a straw vote..' Not a vote ever will be so influenced. It is an annoying practice that means nothing and gets nowhere. ' , Ambition 14 like to be a Pullman car And have a funny name.

Instead. 1 ex tracted again from my haifdbag the tiny folded note the myster ious foreigner had confided td me in the Southampton shop, to gether with the : handkerchief 1 had recognized as one of Grace Draper's. Then making sure that Lillian was safely out of the way, I went swiftly down the hall and tapped at the door of my father's room. He was longer in answering than usual, and when he finally opened the door and affectionate ly bade me enter, I saw the rea son for his delay. His chair had been placed near the table, and on the table stood the quaint old lacquered box in which I knew he kept the mementoes of my dead mother which! I had given him- j : f "V i Photographs, letters which he had written to her, and her an swers in the days of their idyllic courtship when no : thought bad come to them of the sordid trag edy which was to part them for ever these, and .other keepsakes evidently had been pressed has tily back into the box, for the lid was slightly lifted, showing - the disarranged contents, j If. I had not seen the old box, generally kept sacredly In my father's trunk, I should have known that he had been invoking the memory of the wife he had so shamefully' deserted when was but four years old. His face held the pallor, the deeply-etched lines of poignant remorse, which always betray to" me his seasons of agonized communings with the mementoes he treasures so sac redly. " "; .When he had closed the door after me, he caught me to him in a convulsive embrace and mur mured : brokenly: "You are so like your mother. my Margaret: I : Mementoes of Other Days. t pulled his gray head down to mine and clung to .him silently. lovingly, glad that I had long ago obeyed my mother's dying injunc tionto forgive him. ! I knew that finding me after his long years of search, and winning my forgiveness had lightened his load of remorseful anguish, and in my love and the adoration ' of my small' son, he had enjoyed many peaceful hours. But he could not forget that he had thrown away the love of his life for an evil infatuation, and I knew that there were many moment, like the one upon which I had Inadvertently stumbled, when the longing to see my mother again was almost more than he could bear. ; Dearly as I loved him, greatly as I pitied him, I never could ban ish a sense of justice appeased when, as now, I watched his an guishedtVla Crucis. My earliest recollection of my mother was of her terrible mental . . Buffering which I knew later was caused by my father's desertionVand I could not forget that she had lived and died a lonely, . broken-hearted woman. " 'You .wished to see me about something, Daughter?" His voice when he spoke again was even controlled, and his face held the calmness of emotion ; conquered My first impulse was to make ome trivial excuse to conceal my real errand, but second thought told me that the tonic of work was the best thing I could offer him "J have an odd story to tell you Father, dear," I said, "a long one too, so let's sit down and be com fv. I've tried to get a chance to tell you and to ask your advice about It since you came home, but I couldn't manage it 4 somehow "I know," he assented as he seated me in the most comfortable chair near, the fire and took an other near me. ; j I waited for a minute or two to be ure that I had in methodi cal order all my information con cerning the mysterious Don RaJ mon, and then, beginning with his boarding the train at ; Southamp ton upon the occasion of my trip to the city in search of Katie, i related every Incident of that trip, and of the odd experience of the last hour in the Southampton 0hop. . i "This Is Very Curious." ' My .father listened with but one interruption, when he asked me to repeat to him the description I had given of the mysterious for eigner's appearance. : j And when at the close. I handed him the tiny folded note which the mys terious Don Ramon had slipped in to my hand,he opened and read It without a muscle of his face changing. Then he sat as if studying it for five minutes, which seemed endless to me as I marked their passing upon the mantel clock. ' "This is very curious, Margar et," he said at last. "Twice be fore I have received messages from this same source, apparently although they bear no betraying mark. And always, as now, the message is one of inestimable in formation concerning the people we are watching. And your de scription is the first clue' I have had to the identity of the sender. Yet I cannot place him. Undoubt edly he is someone bound in some manner to the unspeakable gang we are fighting, yet with a con science which compels him to warn us. " And he takes the oddest methods of sending his messages. Evidently he has some strong rea' ion for not using the mails. Is this the handkerchief he pretend ed was yours?" "Yes, Father," I tried to keep my voice steady, but it was trem ulous as I added: "It is one of Grace Draper's handkerchiefs, or -at least the embroidery in the corner is her. handiwork." (To be continued.) ONLY FIVE MORE DAYS . IN SEASHORE CONTEST (Continued from page 1) . of making up a lack of votes will be brought to a termination, but till that time every young lady has an equal opportunity. The computation as to what would happen is interesting from many view points. .. First it shows that practically very little ' has been done by some of the candidates,- and none , of them has a sufficient number of votes so she can rest upon her laurels with perfect confidence. A little co operation, a little effort, : a few hours spent in actual convassing for votes will suffice to change the whole aspect of the contest. For example,' had the :- contest closed yesterday one of the sea shore trips would 'have gone to a candidate with a very few votes, and it is preposterous : for any candidate to fondly hope that such a;, bounty will fall to the lot of even the most lucky individual in the whole broad land, for some one will be laying a plan of ac tion, and the first thing such can didates know their lead -will be overcome, their friends marshalled into another camp, and they will be stranded. - f This Is the time for action, for thought and ", for endeavor of many kinds. The popular voting contest of The Oregon Statesman is not a "lucky contest', nor one in which any candidate can win without Totes. The most popular contestant in the .whole contest would be defeated if no attention were - given 'to the matter of se curing votes. - There is an inherent tendency in every man and woman to make a strong. finish. No-matter what is started everyone desires to make a good ending, and the more flourish that can be lent to any contest, be it a race, a campaign for public office or a quest for a splendid prize: like those offered to the ladies; of this territory, by The Statesman's voting contest, U makes no difference sail who are taking part want to finish strong. An analysis of the "voting and the positions of the candidates as shown by the published standing, show that some hair-raising fin ishes may be expected. Time and again have those who were seem ingly disanced forged to the front and In not a few cases have taken a decided lead. What Figures Show In the voting,- figures show that the efforts of those who are interested deeply enough to pitch into the matter of securing votes bring bountiful results. ' There are those who are Into the contest heart and soul, and there should be a considerable element of pride In demonstrating that no mistake was made when your name was suggested for an energetic and popular candidate. - - The end of the great race is at hand, and the winners of the grand prizes will undoubtedly be Nomination i The Oregon Statesman Seaside Competition ; r Good for 100 Votes I nominate as a member of The Oregon Statesman Seaside Vacation Competition. ; .. - " ; ' y Name . ........... . . . ...t. : !"V.
