Y- For tbere will always be a linen industry, and there is no -section of the world" as well adapted to it as this by Mature; where the fields and the factorieswill be close together, with every single natural condition in perfection. - Tha Statesman of "Wednesday morning referred to, the tariff - protection under the present law, saying : ' k ' 'In the first place the 4ya.rn&' will be protected 10c a pound if Tnot 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 excess of 12. The yarn is the first product of the spinning of the fiber." It is what most of the, American linen and twine thread mills are now im- porting Jfrom abroad, mostly -from Europe. This would make ?a 50 lea yam pay; a duty of 29 cents a pound. That is the kind prDeimel will use in his proposed American factory, which he prill locale in Salem, when he can get suitable yarns in sufficient quantities. Above 60 lea yarns the duty is 35 cents a pound, with a cents ? more if boiled and 5 cents more if bleached ordyed. Twines are yarns carried further in manufacturing and they are protected 184 cents a pound for coarse and three-quarters ..j of a cent a Jjound additional fori twines made of yarns above 11 lea for the excess above 11; and finer' than 60 lea, 56 cents a pound, with; the' same, additions for. boiling and bleaching or - dyeing. ' That is surely 'some' protection. It explains whv Dr: r Deimel wan W to weave his linens for the 1 American market in f wnereine xioer iiax can be produced and pulled cheaply, with- in a very short time. The great wonder is that it has not gotten under way s6oner. The lea is the measure of fineness for yarn made from" the fiber of flax, cotton, silk, juteramie, hemp or 4 other plants jcarrying fiber." ; t Y. And while Congressman Fordney was at the task of giving 'the United States tariff provisions that would enable the devel- opment of a great linen industry in this country, he made it good - and strong. v j He permitted no half way measures. - A ' Flax straw is taxed at $2 a ton. Every process of manu facturing th$' straw, is protected.1 The fiber is taxed 2 cents a pound. Thei wader has noted, above, the rates on yarns and twines. The highest rate provided, and 10 per cent additional, is placed upon fish nets made from seine twines. Every woven fab ric made from flax is well protected and there are hundreds of Uhem.. The plainest woven fabrics are taxed 35 per cent ad valorem, the; finer fabrics 40 to 50 per cent, and the still finer 5 per cent- - I . '-:-':-,-, , i. And Canada,'under a new law,"prqtects its linen makers tum ping out such fabrics as carrying a 55 per cent duty here only 15 per cent. That helps explain the movement from, that country across the line to this country. - - i s . f Y The Miles mill will not have to confine itself to twine. It can make yarn and sell it on a world market, and have protec tion to the extent of 35 cents a pound, with 7 cents a pound , additional for boiling and bleaching. There is a world market for yarns., Tiiey are as staple as wheat A manufacturer has . estimated thit fiber , can . be turned into yarns and then -into twines or threads for around 15 to 20 cents a pound. Does the f reader note what that means, with thje present protective duties f , Y ;Y' - ..-Y 1 : j-: ,-: The state flax plant at the Oregon penitentiary could carry its operations a single step further, from the fiber to" the yarn, 4and perhaps make, the institution self supporting, without inter Bering in any way with any factory to be built here; but on the itontrary helping those'to be built or in prospect, for they all rmust have yarns, and the wide world market heeds yarns, All the linen factories in the eastern part of the United States need yarns ; are buying them from abroad, mostly from Europe. ; r This -all means many more growers of flaxi many more ireuing ana scutcning plants; a products of our soil, employing " ; Do you get the vision? Y; Y : Y r - 1 - And the Miles mill will be firmly on the ground, with hun ; adreds of things it may make, besides yarns and twines. It is . only a step from the spinning of yarns to any one of the hun i - dredsof articles on the markets made from flax fiber. ? Every garment, almost, has linen cloth for Jts linings.

BACKWARD IX AVIATION S 1 Th ylhe A 'lip to There are those who insist that American aerial activity is not ip to the foreign standard. In fact no reports we get indicate that this is true.

Patrick's new presentation of them may be con sidered to be Indorsed by new evidence of their need and their probable effectiveness. AIR MAILS AND STORMS It is declared that the storms of winter will not knock out the air maH. Blizzards, and snow storms, and frigid weather will come but the preparation is declared to be so thorough that there will be no bad effects. Yy Y Those whose responsibility it Is to set the air mail through on scheduled time, regardless of wea ther, have left no stone unturned to guarantee ; regular service this winter. Cold weather, In itself, is not a serious menace to the avi ator, for he faces It even in mid summer at the ' righ altitudes where flying is safest. But snowstorms, blizzards and deep snow on the landing fields are ere rpresent dangers of winter flying, especially at night. It is these the air mail service has pre pared to meet and conquer. Y Skies, instead of wheels or pon toons, will be affixed to , the air planes to make the landing safe in the deepest snow. Pilots will wear a new 'monkey suit," fur- lined," that will cover them from head to foot and assure more com fort than the old suits heated by electricity, never entirely satisfac tory. Every cockpit will be heat ed from the engine by a new ar rangement. WHERE THEY FAILED 1 The vote in the last presidential election was 62.8 per cent of the total eligible vote. The people of the north .roted fairly welL It Is down in the south where the ne groes are not allowed to vote that the vote fell off so terribly. There is a further reason in the south and that is the contests are in the primaries.' There Is no contest In any election. Y Y . Voting is a privilege, f . There is no way to force it. We must sim ply educate the people up to want ing to vote. It is one of our great est questions. In the recent elec tion an analysis of figures is inter esting. Indiana came across with 83.2 per cent. Kansas shows 80.1 per cent. West Virginia has 76.3 per cent; Minnesota, ' 83.Z per cent; North Dakota, 72.1 per cent; New Hampshire, 70.1 perj cent; Rhode Island, 69.6 per cent; Del aware, 69.4 per cent; ! Missouri, 68.8 per cent; Iowa, 67.5 per cent; and Illinois, 66.5 per cent. At the low end of the scale are South Carolina witbr8 per cent of the eligible voters going to the polls; Georgia, 10.1 per cent; Mississippi with 10.8 per cent; Louisiana with 12.5 per cent; Virginia with 18.4 per cent; Alabama with 17.5 per cent; Arkansas with 20 per cent; Tennessee ; with 23.7 per cent; Florida with ,2 5.1 per cent; Texas with 29.6 per cent, and Arizlna with 36.9 per cent. New York is fair with 60.5 per cent, and Penn sylvania is not quite so good with 54.6 per cent. FOR ECONOMY 1 A careful scrutiny of every de partment of government -indicates that President. Coolidge has the hearty cooperation of his adminis trative associates. In every de partment there is a demand for economy. There is a figuring to see who can make. the most sav ing. 1 ; The public will not take kindly however to the proposition to in increase the postage rates but the postage rates are high enough and there ought to be more economy In that department Instead of add ing to it. Of course it is develop ing but everybody writes , letters and everybody lays postage. How ever with that' exception every branch of the government is doing its best to lower taxes. Instead of raising them, y ; CUTTING THE WASTE Henry Ford does not make much fuss about his economies but he has them just the same. Every day they are studying new econ omies and they are developing their business largely through economical management.-" , 1 Henry Ford has recently gone Into the railroad business. The road he secured was practically junk, and losing money. He not only put.lt on its feet but started by reduced rates. Hd has done It by the use of increased efficiency and the practice of cutting to the bone economy. ' S Take the disposing of old rail Way: tlesTjThe' railroad shops, have to use a large amount of charcoal for - various 'purposes. , Southern Ohio used to produce a great deal of charcoal for Iron smelting. Now the son of one of these early Ohio charcoal burners Is back in this pioneer industry, but he is em ployed by the D. T. & I. and uses the old ties. The worn out ties, Instead of being burned along the right-of-way as is the nsual rail road custom, are shipped in re turning empties to the Jackson, Ohio, t!ic3 x"ri whera they are piled ia cor!.

Topics The Polk county economic con ference was rich In possibilities tor the farmers of that county and also the proceedings "are mighty interesting reading for farmers everywhere. The Statesman will undertake to give a report of the committees from day to day. Be low is given the report of the flax committee which Is important just at this time. , w - ( There is" approximately 60, 000,000 worth of linen products manufactured from flax fiber im ported into the United States an nually. On these importations there is a 30 per cent duty. In the Pacific Northwest there Is used annually approximately $1, 000,000 worth of salmon twine which Is also a flax product. At the present time all of this twine comes from Europe. -Prospective Development of Indus try in Oregon There is a move under way at the present time for the estab lishment of a flax fiber spinning mill In Salem which will cost ap proximately 8150,000. According to B. C. Miles, of Salem, who is promoting this enterprise, $100, 000 in stock has already been sub scribed., Present plans contem plate that this -mill ...will ' manu facture salmon twine tor which there is a million dollar market In the Northwest. " It is expected that the establishment of such a mill will provide a stable market for flax fiber produced in the Wil lamette valley. Such a market has been lacking in the past. While the outlook for the en terprise is good ; it Is , generally recognized that a spinning mill might be considered as an exper imental manufacturing enterprise. - ' Purpose of This Committee . This committee believes in view of the foregoing facts that the flax fiber industry offers excel lent' possibilities as a profitable farm crop in addition to supplying an .industry which will provide employment for people who will consume the products of the soil. We deem, it our purpose, therefore, to determine - a program of flax production and marketing which will permit the development, ex pansion and continuance of this in dustry along economic lines. - Market for Flax in 1025 The Immediate market outlet for flax straw for 1925 is through the flax plant of the state of Ore- son at -Salem.-. -This plant can handle 4000 tons of flax straw The approximate price for 1925 Will be 322 per ton for 20 inch mowed flax, $28 per ton for 20 to 28 inch pulled flax and $38 per ton for 30 inch pulled flax or over. Seed ia available for $2.00 per-bashel..--- . While it Is expected that this market outlet will expand, this ex pansion will be slow and present acreage should be kept within the limits of the present market out let. Flax produced for fiber which Is less than 20 Inches in length at present prices cannot economi cally be marketed for its fiber content. It is therefore, the rec ommendation of this committee that flax less than 20 inches in length should 'be harvested for seed. - Cost of Producing Flax The total cost of producing an acre of flax in Polk - county ' is $42.50. Of this amount $10 Is for hauling a two-ton crop to mar ket at Salem. Before Polk county can compete advantageously with other sections more favorably sit uated a retting and Bcutching plant , should be established here to eliminate excessive hauling Costs. " -y ' - i, ' Development of Industry Last year there was 1147 tons of flax straw delivered to the state plant at Salem. Of this amount Polk county produced 351 tons or 32 -per cent and Marion county produced 795 tons or 67 per cent. : ,. ., - In view of experimental nature of the flax production for fiber we recommend that 15 test plots be planted on various soil : types in ' the . county to determine where flax can be successfully grown. We also recommend that a flax demonstration tour be held during the growing season under the su pervision of the Extension Service of the Oregon Agricultural Col. lege.- ; Farmers should plant flax cautiously to avoid losses. .i,: Growing Recommendations 1. Flax is - not hard on the land." Actual analysis made by the government shows that dollar for dollar In ; value flax : takes slightly less fertility from the soil than does wheat. 2. Flax in order to be success ful, should be grown In a clover rotation. Perhaps . a three year rotation would be best. S.r'Flax should be planted on the best valley lands which are fertile and well drained.' In order to be profitable at prevailing pric es a yield approaching two tons per acre or more Is necessary and only the most fertile-well-drained lands will produce this tonnage. 4. Clean land free from weeds is essential to flax production. No foul land - should ie planted to flSX. - " 5. It Is advisable to consult experienced growers before plant ing flax to learn the best methods of preparing seed bed and sowing, (Signed) . c A. ARSTILL. ' "4 Chairman. S. S. SOUTHARD, W. H. McKee, .

For I several minutes after the noise of the engines and the horn had died away we sat breathless ly waiting for any indication from the road behind us that the occu pants of the limousine concealed In the; wood : road ; had . suspected our- ruse. Then as no sounds but those common to the woods at night reached our ears, Tom Chester de scended slowly and with evident pain from the seat beside me to the road below, and opened tha tonneau door with the evident In tention of taking out his bicrcle. which Dr. Pettit and my father naa loaded into the car before starting. I scrambled down, quick ly, beside him, and In spite of his nerceiy-whispered protests,, man aged to take upon myself the greater part of the lifting of tha bicycle to the ground. 1 saw the Intrepid young chap stagger as he put his hand upon the bicycle ready to mount It and I moved to ward him quickly and put a re straining hand upon his arm. "You cannot " I "began, but he shook off my hand, not angrily but as If he were carried out of him self by the indomitable will which was lashing his body to action. "Yes, I can he whisoered hoarsely, and .with an effort which I could see taxed erery ounce of his strength he mounted the wheel, ; made i ' a few zigzagging strokes toward the road and fell. heavjiyi with his bicycle covering him. VI Must -GoiT . I ran frantically toward him. and found; as I had feared, that he was unconscious. My flashlight showed that one leg was doubled under him. and something . about the posture made me afraid that it was broken... When I lifted the bicycle from him, and attempted to straighten his body, my fears were realized for he gave a quick sharp groan. : r : . "My leg," he groaned, then as he returned to full consciousness he rose on one elbow, his face contorted with pain, and then back against me powerless to move. I lowered him gently to the ground, ran to the car, got the robe and the seat cushions dragged them back beside him and Improvised a couch. Then I bent over the half-conscious hoy and. spoke sof tly but distinctly. . ; . I must get you on these cush ions before I leave you. I said distinctly. "Try to help me all you can, so that I will not hurt your leg more than necessary." J "I must go. was all the answer I could get from him. So setting my teeth, I took him hy the shoul ders and managed to get him over on the car cushions. I think he fainted when I had to disturb his doubled-up leg, but by the time I had him safely on the cushions with the robe covering him, he had rallied to consciousness again, and I beat to him speaking firm ly, 8lowly.y -j J i Madge Starts Out . j J"Llsten.i Mr. Chester,".;! said, I am going in your place.
