for intellectual Vnuts' to experi

ideas and theories;- they are' now

. Rapid as has been the advance
ment in the application of human
knowledge to evey field of activ
ity the scientific laboratories of the
world are still leading the proces
sion. ; In no ifield has- the' progress
been greater than along' Industrial
limes. The human .desire to anni
hilate time and space has produced
. our modern transportation; facili
ties so that today the most humble
citizen may have at -his service a
transportation service which but a
few short years ago, -within the
lifetime of middle aged .persons,
would have been considered luxur

the earth. , " 4 i
Within but "comparatively
short time the horse drawn cab has
disappeared from the streets of our
cities as a means of transportation.
The horse-drawn street cars solved
the fate of the old cabs As cities
grew and th tendency ot the.city
population was to dwell farther
out from the crowded sections, the
horse cars failed to meet the prob
lem. In many cities the cable
cars were installed- They, were a
great improvement over the horse
cars but they were soon displaced
by the electric: trolley cars, rf The
automobile came along and entire
ly changed ' trolley car transporta
tion problems; Suburban residen
tial districts developed .amazingly
under the: stimulation ot the auto
mobile. 3 -;V ; , .
This added to the transportation
problems and created demands for
extensions and increased service
by the street car lines. ';The street
car companies were eve? watchful
of the drift of business -conditions
and began studying how best to
meet the new era. v; The Salem
Street Railway ' Company ! has
shown Its progressive spirit and its
desire to put Salem in the front
rank of modern cities In the matter
of transportation, by introducing a
motor bus service in an experi
mental way as an auxiliary to its
trolley lines.; It has purchased
three Moreland an to busses, of 16
passenger capacity each and put
them Into service .along a route

j John WilliamEon, -and family,
bring with them the' sunny smiles
and glad hand of which their na-VhouBe -building in connection with
tlve state of Texas is so famous.
They have located out on North
Capitol street ; about a mile north
qf the Capitql building, on the
highway, and. 'have started a reg
ular community center which, is
destined to be, an important factor
in the development of Salem.' ,At
present they '. have built sslde
from their' residence, a . concrete
filling station od the east side.ot
the highway Here , they are pre
pared to serve-the publfc jwith gas
and oils, tires and other accessor
ies. They christened their filling
station the rLCXN'E--STAR FILL
ING STATION" in honor of their
old home state of Texas. In order
tb still furthefr indicate their love
of the great; prairie state they
huilt a garage across the street
from the filihk station and call It
the "TEXAS .GARAGE. Yon can't
miss their blfc signs and if you

Mr. Williamson' still shows his
faith in Salem by building a bsIt
hess block In which he will have
established - a, : barber shop and
room for any other line of busi
ness desired, i ' He believes tth3re
is a fine opening here for several
tines of business, a general store
carrying harware and groceries,
drygoods and notions. A drujf

opinion and' there Is talk of a

I Not the least of the service of
ered by Mr. Williamson to the
traveling public is his Tourist
Camp accommodations. He has
built 10 cottages equipped with
furniture, with a garage beside
the cottage which he rents to the
tourist rade. To indicate' the
popularity ot these cottages It Is
Only necessary to - state .that the
ten cottages fail to supply the demand-
and in the spring Mr. Wil
liamson plans to build 20 nore.
During. the winter season now his
ibottage tfade is rather brisk. An
average of six or - eight every
night.i During the. cold storm -in

glad to find such accommodations

has spent much time teaching the club members to select, judge, feed and fit their livestock, to E'
keep records of their feeding costs, to. weed out "boarder'andi keep only: those animals which
