V Button from Minnesota The Button brothers came to the northwest fjroin Minnesota, where they formerly conducted a business college. Realizing the possibilities of this section I for such an effort, a college was es tablished at Silrerton, where there are now 69 students enrolled. Af ter consideration ' it was decided to establish a branch in Salem, and this was done about three weeks ago. Already 16 pupils are taking courses inj the college, and two students have been placed in positions liere in i the city.

That is, for the first ten months of 1924 the new building opera tions in Salem represented outlays of over $2,000,000, and they were still going Btrong. 1 To November lirst, ! the new homes built represented an out lay of $887,330, and the number of new homes for that period was 256. i , ) - - ! ' , . i Counting 26 working days for each month, that was about' a new home a day for Salem. ; Will Keep Increasing There is every indication that the figures will keep right i ot mounting to greater heights; that the aggregate will be bigger in 1925 than in.1924., and that there will -after' 1924 be' more than a new home a day erected in Salem If any great proportion of the new manufacturing concerns now in the offing shall materialize it will not be long till there will be required a couple of new hornet a day in Salem, in order to pu roofs over the heads of the work ers and their families, and all the other people who will, directly and indirectly, become i residents of Salem because of the new in dustrial activity. One thing brings another,. There is right now a movement for a concern to be or ganized in Salem to build and re pair cannery machinery. There will have to be a mill some where in this territory, before long, to make the felt blankets that ' are used in paper mills. - There will have to be more machine shops as the number of our factories in creases. There will nave to i be more merchants and clerks and doctors and and lawyers and min ister, and butchers and bakers and candlestick makers, as our indus trial population grows. The strings leading out from an indus trial center are innumerable. Salem is doing very well. But she is only fairly started.. Watch her step on the gas in the next five to ten to twenty years.

Fancy ap ples in the first class shops have been selling here this fall as high as 90 cents each. They are from France, without blemlshesd, and apparently raised with great care. American apples, chiefly from the Pacific northwest, were re tailed here a year ago in great luantities, but as yet none has ap peared this season. Dealers say the American apples will be along Tor the holidays and the choicest ones will probably sell for 10 or 15 cents apiece. Ordinary apples, however, German-grown, may be purchased from the push-cart deal ers in the .streets for from 10 to 15 -ents a pound. , Passenger Flights Show But Very Few Accidents ? .- j, : LONDON Nov. 2 5 ( AP ) -On Iy six deaths bare been recorded in the last five years of English com mercial aviation.' More than S0, 000 passengers were carried dur ing that time, and about 4,000, 00 0 miles flown. The English commercial air services have had a remarkable growth, starting with a total of 20 passengers for 1919 and steadily-increasing. Most of the pas senger service was done between London and Paris, where six trips are now made daily. The routes to Berlin, Moscow and Cologne are now being operated daily and carry on the average of two pas sengers. ; The freight capacity of the planes is usually taken sever al days in advance. The Imperial Airways, the na tional syndicate, is preparing , to add 3,000 miles daily" service (& the 1,660 miles it now operates. The new routes include Zurich Rome and Paris-Madrid.

C.) Undoubtedly the most convinc ing, statement which, could ' be made in regard to the value of zoning is that practically all the large cities of the United States now feel that it is impossible to continue to develop further with out the adoption of a building aone plan. ' New York, St. Louis, Los Angeles, San Francisco. Mil waukee. . Washington, Newark, Rochester, Omaha, Portland and Omaha, not to mention smaller cities such as East Orange, Berk eley and Brocton, Mass.; already have zoning ordinances in oper ation. Many others have zoning plans in progress. Moreover it is not alone that the larger cities realize the necessity for timely regulation of the uses of property. A t considerable number of the smaller towns, especially in Cali fornia, Ohio, Illinois. New Jersey and New York either have passed zoning ordinances or : have them in an advanced stage of prepar ation. : ' - Two years ago last May 66 mu nicipalities ,in the United States were on record as having zoning ordinances . already enacted and 114 were reported to have plans in progress. Since this time the number has been greatly increas ed. ' ... v .'. 7 ( . - Y ;7 Actual experience with zoning Regulations . has brought to light certain -striking facts. Certain districts fiave been rehabilitated as a direct result of the zoning ordinance. Another interesting re sult has been the production of a OF BEAUTY 4 " til f -3 f A ( ' ) DESIGN A -629 the Nahcotta is a really well de- signed home. Not only Is it good to look at from the outside but every room has been planned with great care. There is practically no waste space In this design. Six good sized rooms are comprised within outside dimensions of only twenty-six feet by twenty-two feet. The Nahcotta is equally livable and suited to every section of the country. Every bed room has cross ventilation and there is an abundance of light every room. Including basement walls and chimney this bouse requires about f4O.50U , brick Inj solid construction, Which at an average cost of about , $15.00 per M. would mean an ex- I -COOP ill I Si j ITji Mo-xp- 1 1 type of hlghj building believed to be far better than the former elongated match-box type. To avoid the common condition that industrial plants encounter of having to do business on a "residential basis," denied large scale facilities in their vicinity on account of protests of . residence owners, 4 Alameda, ; Cal., ' among other cities, f has established in dustrial zones in which no new permits to build residences will be granted. A leading municipal engineer i3 quoted as saying that the prohibition of residences in Industrial zones is one Of the most Important protections to put in a zoning ordinance. The zoned ; towns are actually absorbing the better grade of de velopment. The result has been that builders, architects and real estate owners in unzoned towns are persistently urging their local councils to adopt zoning so that they may' have as good a selling proposition to offer prospective clients as their competitors in the zoned towns. , Annual Multiple Listing Meeting Set December 12 Plans for the annual meeting of members of the multiple list ing bureau of the Marion-Polk Realty association are .nearing completion. The meeting will be held at the Marion hotel at noon, December 12. All members of the bureau are urged to be pre sent for the meeting. Realtors who have'? affiliated with the bureau are satisfied with the results obtained, particularity as it enables them to convince Dro8Dects that property so listed is placed with each member, giv ing that many agents Instead of the individual realor. Some Farm Reminders of ' Interest to Oregon Growers The growing of head lettuce Is well suited to Oregon conditions, since the climate and soil are fa vorable. Unless the season is un usually dry, irrigation is not gen erally necessary. Production of uniform, solid heads depends largely on the variety and espec ially the seed strain. Barnyard manure is the best fertilizer, as poor soil means small heads, coun sels the experiment station. Curtains for the poultry house can be conveniently usea at tnis time. Heavy winds ' and rain blown, through the open front are effectively excluded bjr; curtains. Many Oregon poultry men keep curtains rolled and stored in the house to be used when needed. Othershave curtains on a roller that ran be raised and lowered as weather conditions change. The experiment station recommends ' i.S.lill1M?"- careful use of curtains. A cur tain while an effective protection in bad weather, becomes a danger to proper ventilation if left up in fair weather. Early lambs will soon beein to arrive in certain narta of Oregon. The Importance of properly dock ing and castrating while the lamb is still young is stressed by the college animal husbandry depart ment. The neglect of this prac tice results in a cut in the mar ket price, as the carcass is not de sirable. A good sharp knife has been found as practical as any In strument for this work. A trim lamb properly docked and castrat ed will bring 50 cents to $1 more than the same lamb if these opera tions are neglected. San Jose Scale Yields To Lime-Sulfur Spray San Jose scale in Oregon can be controlled by liquid lime-sul fur spray in the dormant period, says Don C. Mote, entomologist for the experiment station. -'.The best time to spray is January or Feb ruary, using 12 gallons of concen trated lime-sulfur to the 100-gal-lon spray tank. Clear and settled weather at the time of spraying gives best results. . "The scale shows as small, ash gray or blackish pimple-like scales clustered on the bark." Professor Mote says. "The inner . bark shows a purple stain. The trees become bark-bound and devitaliz ed, and the foliage is off color. Infected fruit shows, small red spots. . .. " ... S "After winter pruning has re moved most of the inrested wood, better results are obtained and spray jaaterials saved. If the or chard has aphids, the dormant ap plication may be delayed until the bud tips show green. The lime sulfur solution is then combined with six-eighths of a pint of 40 per cent nicotine sulfate to each 100 gallons of spray, to control both the scale and the aphids." The San Jose scale is a sucking insect, and lives upon plant juices which It extracts from twigs, limbs, trunk, foliage, 'and fruit. It is capable of- killing young trees within a few years, and de stroying older trees ultimately, al though the process is slower. The appler pear and peach are Its fa forite food plants. Wage Agreement Proves Costly to Mine Owners SWANSEA. Nov. 11 (API Welsh coal owners lost $2,356,455 on an output of 11,354,668 tons of coal during the three months ended August 1 because of the new wage " agreement recently signed, according to Finlay Gib son, secretary of the South Wales Coal Owners' association. The coal trade has gone "from bad to worse,", and the new wage agreement has been accompanied by the cost of production being In creased from 17 pence to 37 pence per ton, he declared. And yet some of the best talks on preparedness are extemporane ous. . . -fit: Start a Family Christmas Fund .
