The vol ume of our agricultural exports in September was 158, as compared with 100 used as the average for the period from July, 1909, to June, 1914. We are selling more in volume and getting better prices for it. The wheat exports in September were nearly J 33, 000,000 bushels as compared with 15,408,000 bushels in September last year. - ; ;' The increased exports of bread grains appear even more import ant, as the department of agri culture explains, when it is con sidered that the export price of wheat In September was $1.36, as compared with $1.12 a year ago; and the export price of rye $1.23 as compared with 95 cents last year. Cotton exports In Septem ber were 774,000 .bales, the larg est September export since 1913. There was also an increased for eign demand for our dairy prod ucts and canned and evaporated fruits. 1 , The election of President Cool- idge and a republican congress, It Is true, can not assure the present favorable conditions in perpetuity. doing for the farmers what the reserve bank law does for the bankers something that tides him over hard times. VOTKI FOR ECONOMY President Coolidge has been so economical that he is known as stingy. He never made much money In his life and always had to be economical. , He has carried his habits of economy into nation al affairs. He is not thrifty in his personal affairs, but he was always economical. . Just at this time the country voted for ah economical adminis tration. - We can have thrift a- plenty, but unless we are economi cal thrift won't buy us anything. Money just runs in and runs out.

SEEKING THE TRUTH It is a fact that newspapers are more careful to get the truth than any other class of people.

But Peter gives warning that "the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judg ment to be punished. - . t I In substance, in another place, Peter wrote: "Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God whereby ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is m the world through lust. And besides this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; and to knowledge, temperance; and to temperancej patience and to patience, godliness; and to godli ness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, j charity.

The Monnt Angel News dis courses on this as follows: s-Tx-nrnsoniernner yon can not believe what you read tn the newspapers. That may be so. But It Is not the newspaper that Is to blame necessarily. How ever good the intentions of the newspaper may be, If its inform ants are untruthful and unreliable, what is published will be disap pointing. . . "It is paramount to a truth ful newspaper that ' those who furnish it information be depend able. It is often very difficult to get the truth for publication because the paper must rely upon the information It gets from oth ers, and it is not always possible to verify the data offered as! it should be. ? : ' It is not intended here that newspapers need an apology or an alibi in the mass or matter they print from week to week. A very large per cent of it is reliable. Yet there is a duty resting upon the general public with respect to the reliability of news that is easily overlooked If not entirely Ignored. Newspapers must depend upon folks In general for their information which is printed as news. Folks, therefore, must not be too ready to condemn the press for what they themselves are re sponsible. 1 j A nationally known clergyman in speaking of the press says: 'The average newspaper man tells the truth. He wants to tell the truth, and it is a matter of getting the truth to him. Give him the truth and' you will see what's printed.

Flax bolls make splendid stock feed I And so do both the pulp of beet sugar factories and the leaves of the sugar beets. ?The leading sugar magazine, "Facts About Sugar," in its current issue says that in Utah and Colo rado there; is now a demand for dried beet pulp exceeding any thing previously known. Interests fattening steers and lambs have reserved increased allotments of the pulp; and these people are using ind paying high prices for beet tops averaging $10 and. more per acre. ; j ; Ilnnn f ho TL o t liartngnv aTntnmmiraH Tr-i t Vi 4ha rfwir rf I - " " " " liiniuiiunu -uv mjnit 1 rvor- anil hara navAi . f m. . . ... ..... 1 " - " oeei tops, f j. his process nas oeen penectea, so tnat tne product, trayed. aneu. siowiy aner navmg Deen wasnea, comes out wnn an tne i i a r uuh.,c tavwuegtcr,,..

MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Idele Garrison's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE Copyright 1921, by Newfpaper Feature Service. Inc. CHAPTER 306 THE DISCLOSURE THE MAN SMITH MADE At Dr. Pettlt's pronouncement that he did not know the nature of the drug which I had brought man -Smith, lying bound in the corner of the room, and surprised in his watchful eyes a flash of malevolent glee. But in another instant their expression changed. ; It became apprehensive, almost cringing,; and I only had to shift my eyes to Lillian's face to see the reason for the transition, r She was leaning forward in her chair, fixing him with a glare as coolly intent and devoid of emo tion as that of an entomologist studying some rare insect. And then, slowly, with an effect of casualness, Lillian, shifted her gaze to Dr. Pettit, and said with an apparent nonchalance: "That - is very sad for young Chester, and also for Mr. Smith who in another thirty seconds will be suffering from the same ail ment, i Would you oblige me by leaving the room for a minute or two. Dr. Pettit?" . She turned to the mantel upon which lay the small stiletto-like knife with which Smith had struck npon young Chester, and which we knew held poison upon it's surface. I realized her, reason for asking Dr. Pettit to leave the room. She did not wish to Involve him in the action she was con templating, and which she knew he would feel compelled to pre vent if he remained. Dr. Pettit Aids f The physician gave a distinct start, the most noticeable depar ture from his frozen professional dignity which I have ever seen then, evidently realizing the ad vantage of "seeing nothing, speaking nothing, hearing noth ing," he bowed stiffly and walk ed out of the room, closing the door after him. . "So sorry to inconvenience you, Mr. Smith," Lillian's voice was courteously, solicitlous as she ad vanced toward him, the! poisoned knife held gingerly in her hand, "but - since the ; only antidote for this poison Is a drug so rare that our physician does not know about It, I 'have no' alternative but to give Mr. Chester a companion in his trouble. Will you have this on the right cheek or the left?" I stared at her, fascinated. She waa as airily perfunctory as if she were asking "how many lumps" at a crowded charity tea. But i realized that unless Smith acted more quickly than he ever had done in his life before, she would make good her words. That Smith realized her deter mination. I knew also, as I saw tiny beads of water standing on his forehead, the agonized capit ulation in his eyes. "I am a physician. -1 can use this," he said quickly. "But I must have my hands free." "I Shall Need Him" sV Lillian, smiled significantly. L thought on'd seejthe lifht she said. "But my Ingenious friend there's nothing doing in the band freeing line until Dr. Pettit says so. He is an exceedingly able cit izen, and you will be able to give him the necessary directions for the use of this. Are you reaay?" . Her eyes narrowed to pin-points as she snapped the question at him, and Smith bowed his head in unconditional surrender. "I will do whatever you say," he replied sullenly, ; "You're a wise gentleman,' Lillian retorted, walking quickly to the door as she spoke, and summoning Dr. Pettit, "This man Smith," she said crisply, "says he is a physician and understands; this drug. You will soon be able to ascertain if he is faking. Please question him while I get the two operatives in here. Then if you need him up in young Chester's room they can carry him up there.", She went swiftly through the door, and Dr. Pettit with equal quickness crossed the room to amun s siae. " -t "This is not to be taken Intern ally for poison In an external wound," he said with decision. "No, no," Smith's tone was con temptuous. "It Is a most recent discovery,- a serum, in fact so re cent that I am surprised the hos pital had it.' xvever mind that now." Dr. feint said peremptorily. "There Isn't time. Tell me just how I must use this." The quick colloquy Which fol lowed has scant meaning for me, because it was couched in medical language. Dr. Pettit turned grave ly to Lnlian when she re-entered me room bringing with her the two stalwart government opera tives..: .- "I shall need" him." he said succinctly. ; "Have him broueht upstairs."

Is to be taught advanced students In agriculture in the St. Paul school, according to Herbert S. Michel brook, who was in the city yes teraay to oDtam the necessary copies of the publication. The mass of Information con tained in the booklet has been carefully compiled and is com plete to October; 1. Experts In each of the departments contained in the booklet received the mat erial 'before it was published and checked it for accuracy. Much of the work was done by local and state officials, while experts in various lines at OAC and in the state Chamber of Commerce were also consulted. Teaching Marion county pupils facts about the county in which they live is an experiment and if the attempt at St. Paul proves a success, the plan. Is to have the booklets distributed to other schools In the county. Prof. Michelbrook has been looking for accurate and detailed information relative to this part of the state for : some time and was greatly delighted to find what he sought In the Chamber of Commerce publication.
