"OREGON FOR THE FARMER" The Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Hurlinprton rail roads are carrying on a great advertising campaign in the big farm magazines of the United States during this month and next ' ; Going to 7,038,949 subscribers, or 21,11G,847 estimated readers., j ;.. ; ' . J;.; , : , r "a 1 I The eopv for these two months, illustrated ;with a farm scene and Mount Hood in the background, and carrying m the corner a conspicuous picture of "Oregon for the Farmer," the Oregon Isook used in the campaign, is nvorded as follows, in well dis played type: I'.

' K ,. r ' f KDUCATIOX IX GERMANY Germany has been doing won derful things in education. A re cent book by a German Author tells of changes since the war. The most radical change cited by the author is the elimination of the ' normal schools. Three education al plans have been evolved. First, the life .school. Under this plan an effort is made to bring about the natural develop ment of the pupil. The children are taken to the woods, to , the 'railroad stations, -to the libraries, to the zoological gardens where culture is acquired, the Idea be ing to kep In the foreground the relationship between "I and the other fellow." r The Hamburg system Is the second. This has been adopted In various German cities.: The sys tem was worked out by more than 200 Hamburg teachers In 1921 and 1922, and Is confined to ele mentary, schools. These schools represent the natural organically grown expression' ot a movement . . Maaacrr . . Edlur Maacr Job Unpt. 8S 106 Orcoa. aa tacoad-alaaa aUar the Lord by return mail."; of culture and liberty The pupil is not required 'to perform any tasks . that have been set by the teacher, but those that have been suggested by life itself. They hold that it la valueless for a pupil to write a composition to suit the whims of the teacher: There Is no curriculum, no daily program. The teacher deals with the group rather than with the individual, which is the reverse of the Ameri can system wherein the effort is to reach the individual and have th individual influence the group. Reading and writing in the lower classes are not taught as lessons, but the phrenological moment is awaited when the child demands such instruction as they work with their hands, the theory being that every normal child will awaken such an Impulse In due time. The third Is the work school. This takes the first four years of the elementary school. This plan calls for the training of the pu pils in "justice, truth, humanity. friendship, goodness, sympathy, and the like." ; There are other values that are held to. be essen tial, that is, the value to the na tional community. The work school has a curriculum and a pro gram. It makes the national sov ereignty an ideal or the first im portance and ultimately subordi nate to a higher and more fruit ful Intercourse of all human be ings. It differs from the life school, and the Hamburg system Is striving to develop a frankly nationalistic spirit. The impart ing of Information is not the goal but that the pupils may be led through self-discovery to self-reali zation. AGA1V WITH US Children's Book Week Is being celebrated, or observed as the ca.se may be, in Salem this week. The librarians are asking the people to visit the library and familiar ize themselves with children's books. 1 f : l This Is the sixth birthweek of this institution and it is growing increasingly healthy, wealthy and wise. It is teaching the parents to build up home libraries for the children while the children de light in the new ; books jand the new world opened through the new books; also the libraries are being more generally used. ? It is hard for grown people to learn to read, but children take to It readily. It Is hard for grown people to concentrate, but child ren naturally do so. However, the children need to be stimulated. They study the world and people but they are oblivious to books. A. studious child is i so rare as to be subject "to comment: --The child should hot be a book-worni; but every child should" be " taught to read knowingly, to see the glories and beauties in literature!. . Children are at the most re ceptive age; their minds are swift ly impressionistic. Then enter cordially into the emotions of the characters about which they are reading. It is easy to cultivate an appetite for the better things in this way, and by cooperating with the libraries the parents can be sure their children have an oppor tunity to lay the foundations for pleasure as well as profit by learn ing to appreciate good, books. Furthermore In later years It will be found to be the best! antidote for. loneliness" ever detised. Children's Book Week is a mighty fine thing and wp are very glad that: Salem Is observing . it. Its observations should be general. STOP THK WATK 1 Secretary Hoover, In Lis report; says: , "Wastes are legion. There are wastes which arise from wlde- spread unemployment during de pression and from speculation and overproduction in booms; wastes attributable to labor turnover and the stress of labor Conflict; wastes due , to intermittent and seasonal production, as in the coal and con struction Industries; wastes caused by excessive variations in product; waste In materials arising from lack of efficient process; wastes from fire, and waste in human life." ; ! : " ; ? i Secretary Hoover lis doing a great work in pointing out to Am ericans their habit of waste, and also directing them In ways to economize. I One of the wastes he points out is "inadequate transportation and the lack of sufficient terminals.

United States. . ,V.. If you can help, the Slogan man on mint, do It today. It is to-be a great industry here; belongs here. Nature so decreed. ; s s Perhaps some of the people of Salem would like to know how well the twines proposed to be manufactured by the Miles 11 n mi mill will be protected under the present tariff law. In the first place the "yarns" will be protect ed 10c a pound if not finer than 12 lea, and if finer than 12 and not finer than 60 lea. a half cent for each lea or part thereof in ex cess of 12. The "yarn" is the first product of the spinning of the fiber. Tt is what most of the Am erican linen and twine thread mills are now importing from abroad, mostly from Europe. This would make a 50 lea yarn pay a duty of 38 cents a pound. That la the kind Dr. Diemel will use In his proposed American factory, which ne wui locate at Salem, when he can get suitable yarns in suffic ient quantities. Above 60 lea yarns the duty is 33c a pound. with 2 cents more i boiled and r.c more if bleached or dyed. Twines are "yarns"' carried fur ther in manufacturing, and they are protected 184 cents a pound for coarse and three-quarters of a cent a pound additional for twines made of yarns above 11 lea for the excess above 11; and finer than 60 lea, a6 cents a pound, with the same additions for boiling and bleaching or dyeing. That is sure ly "some" protection. It explains why Dr. Diemel wants to weave his linens for the s American mar ket in this country, and why the Canadian mills are moving: over to the United States. It will help to explain the tremendous boom that is coming to the United States and especially to this section, where fine fiber flax can be pro duced and pulled cheaply, within a very short time. The great won der Is that it has not gotten un der way sooner. The lea is the measure of fineness, for yarns made from the fiber of flax, cot ton, silk. Jute, ramie,, bemo or other plants carrying fiber. I EDITORIALS OF THE I PEOPLE SIR PURDY OPIXES Editor Statesman: The law of God, and. the laws of man universally teach, and also cause to be put Into practice a starting, point. We are taught that God made the heavens and the earth in six days and rested from His labors on the seventh day, God must have started on the first day and worked till the seventh when He rested. God told Noah that It' woud rain upon the earth forty days . and forty nights, Noah must have started to count on the first day it rain ed. Just so in this life, we have starting points, and to get any where worth while we must make a start and take a stand in the right direction..; It has been a practice quite universally, to make the New Year a starting point: Business men, cooperations,' ' and especially all those who aTe re quired to show their financial con dition for the purpose of obtain ing credit" take an invoice of their stock and wares, as well as all bills receivable, and- then ' when ones obligations .are subtracted it will tell just where we stand, fin ancially jspeaking. 1925 is at our very door, and many are prep-, aring to take this invoice. I won-r der if it wouldn't be wise for ua all to invoice at the time and make a. new start in our life on this New Year, when we have finished with our bills receivable and our stock and wares, and our liabilities have been deducted, let us start in and invoice our home, where our good wife and children enjoy all the comforts of life, how many of us can Invoice our home as rightfully all our own, is there dollars In that home that some other person Is rightfully entitled to as their own. hasn't some good wife and children been deprived of the comforts that was right fully theirs, and the . wherewith for them to have those comforts in your or my' home? There is a. judge to decide what Is yours and mine rightfully, so it behooves every person to make out a' states ment that will stand the test, for GOd knows. Then when we are Invoicing it would be well to cre dit ourselves in dollars and cents Just how , much we have contrib uted In helping to make the in habitance of the world better. Then charge ourselves with every thing we have done to make the people of the world more wicked, or less happy. Yes take every thing into consideration, ' both good and bad, placing values,that you believe the all wise God of the universe will acknowledge to be a true statement then subtract one from the other, and by this method we can convince ourselves and God that we are a man after His own image, or that we' are truly insolvent from the fact that we have In our possession money, or property belonging rightfully to others, or that we have done more bad than we have done good in this world.

CHAPTER 224 THOUGHT T H A T . ASSAILED MADGE AS SHE DRESSED FOR HER PART. I . There was a peremptoriness in Lillian's tone which spelled final ity, and though Tom Chester's lips set in a thin line of obstinacy and his eyes flashed an appeal at me. he yet uttered no further word of protest against my making one of the motor car expeditions which i was to insure the young man's preeence at Smith's expected get away f ' - "Don't dallyj Madge," Lillian admonished sharply. "If you have any spare time after dressing you had better get one of Smith's guards - Revins preferably to look at Dicky's car and see if there's anything that must be done toj it after that wild ride or yours tonight. Remember, all we. want isj-to bolster it; up so it will function for - those few miles to night, jit doesn't matter if it falls, to pieces as soon a Smith is safe ly traveling nor' by nor'west In that big limousine with Allen on his trail. : Dr. Pettit and your father ean bring you people home again, and the garage men can go out and salvage the car in the morning., "I know art I' about repairing cars." younK Mr. Chester ventured hopefully.: "So does Bevins," Lillian re torted curtly, "and he doesn't have to save jhis strength, as you must. Oh! Midge!" Her exclamation halted me on my way to the door. "Yes?": "Pour yourself .a cup of coffee before you go out. and eat some thing, if 'it's only a roll." I nodded a grateful assent for her thoughtfulness, and went di rectly to my room, where I chang ed quickly into the knickerbocker suit with trim boots which I hac worn in the mountains. Then, with, a queer little feeling of re luctance I went down the hall to Dicky's : room, lighted the lamp, and closing, the door behind me stood for a long minute looking over my husband's room, A Love Test. : ' I was to wear a coat and soft hat of Dicky's, Lillian had said, and after the minute of survey I went to his closet and took the articles she had mentioned. My economical soul rejoiced that they were comparatively shab by,' for I would not have liked to take his good things, but as I took ! them down I realized how completely Dicky had stripped his closet of his presentable clothing. Either he had expected to change his. attire several times a day at the Adirondack, camp, I' reflected, or he had planned .a, longer so journ than he had told me. I moved to his mirror, took up his coat and thrust one arm . into It. Then I stopped short with a sudden rush of poignant loneli ness as from the folds of the coat came the; odor of the" tobacco which hangs around all his pos sessions. Sometimes I think it Is an In fallible test of wifely affection, thi3 reaction of loneliness to the smell of tobacco upon on absent husband s belongings. At any rate, when Dicky is gone for any period of time I cannot handle his tobacco-redolent clothing with out a thrill of longing for his presence: ; "Where Is Your Husband?" I caught the coat up a little fiercely and buried my face in it for an -'instant, as' it .it had been Dicky's living shoulder. Then with ciiimrraiiRHtasirdr.

V a sudden cynical remembrance of the positive eagerness with which he had left us, -I gave a, bitter lit tle laugh, put on the coat and fastened it with no more emotion than I would have had at putting on a art of Jerry Ticer's wardrobe. I shook down my hair as Lil lian had requested, then drew it away from my face and wound it at the top of my head Into a mass which would keep Dicky's hal from blowing off. Then as I crammed the hat low down over- my fore head I looked critically at myself in the mirror. No one in the world looking at me closely in the light would mistake me for a man, but I was sure that bent over a motor wheel and shielded by the darkness of the road I would pass muster. 1 I had turned to the door when I seemed to hear again Dr. Pet tit's hoarse question: "Where- is your husband?" and again, in an swer to my assurance that he was in the. Adirondacks, "Are jrou sure?'.' r . For an instant It seemed to me that. I could not wait to determine the answers to those questions, that no task for Lillian, even It were for my country, mattered be side the determining of the reas on for the nhysician's stranee manner. But the next second the reaction me, and smoothing mv rebellious ca thoughts, I closed my husband's door and returned to the libary. (To be continued.)
