C FOR A POTATO STARCH FACTORY . -; Plans are under way for using the special potato starch machinery in the Salem dehydration plant, which has never been used, and turning the dehydration plant; into a potato starch and dextrine and flour factory; manufacturing a long list of commercial articles - . . . For starch making is dehydration---- . ! Taking the water out of the spuds ' " '. : i. . Plus a few other things too technical for the understand ing of the lay mind, including that of the writer hereof. . V- ,," That would seem a very good use to be made of this plant. It would .give Salem a reliable industry; a going con cern, that is now idle. ' - - :" .". 1 r " , The plant has in it about $24,000 worth of special "starch making" machinery for textile starch; that was never used; bought during the war. If present negotiations work out successfully, this machinery will be put to work, together 'with other idle machinery in this plant rand perhaps some new.machinery. m .v- : r This would make our potato industry great, as the writer has often pointed out. The starch factory; could use the culls, leaving the higher grade potatoes for the othei markets. ; ! r It goes without saying that the people of Salem would be very friendly to this movement for a new factory. . The factory should pay. There is a j big "spread" in the higher i class products of potato starch and dextrine and potato flour just as there is in the higher class manufactures of flax; making for a big sum per acre of the manufactured from the raw products MADE IN ' The United' States is a protectionist country, ? but the ? Turkish government has gone still farther in its efforts to : foster home industry. A recent law passed by the Turkish parliament requires all public officials,' from members of parliament down to teachers and policemen, to wear clothing i and footwear made in Turkey. 'Not only that j but such wear must be officially stamped to show that it i is of domestic production. - The penalty for wearing foreign made clothing is the imposition of heavy fines and the confiscation of the wearing apparel. ' ' Laws, in Turkey are made to be obeyed, and no doubt this one wiU be. The purpose isallright- -j , v , But in the United States we impose what is considered &n adequate rate of duty on foreign competing products, ; leaving to the individual the choice of whether he will paythe duty and use-foreign products, or whether he will patronize ' home industry and escape the - The Turkish requirement ' policy which good protectionists in this country oppose as m ' mm ," ' a a a " "" ' . 1 ".. a .1 ' 1.

"More than thirty seniors, legislation under Dr. U, G. Dubach, dean of ; men spent the ' week end in Salem visiting the' Oregon Legislature. 7 They called on Governor Pierce and then proceeded to the senate chamber. The trip was made in expectation of gaining some . pointers from members of the ; Legislature. On account of the many bills up for discussion, the next to the last week of the session was ' chosen. meetings were attended by the students. The foregoing is a news item sent put from the college. Not a bad idea. If the college students of Oregon study legislative , methods, the next generation will perhaps : what the last generation has legislature in due time.; , THE KINDERGARTEN S v t i It is hard to . understand the : workings of the minds, of the sen j ators In the state house, who are opposing kindergartens In the . . schools. It Is not compulsory. It can not be established unless the people want it. ' If' they want It theyiiave a right to have It. If they don't, want It they couldn't have It e 'v'-;' However, kindergarten Is a pre liminary to education, has won its way, and there is no .use " trying to stop it Ibecause It can not be done." The people want It, espe cially the parents of chUdrea In the country who. are iarought up close a-i tviih a great handicap. .... . ' . ' Afanar . ' ' ,i . . Editor .

I. We may have a mode i j . ' r - Mother's boy sounds beautiful, but mother's boy doesn't have a fair chance In the world unless he Is brought ap to associate with other boys, and until the age of six, the average child associates largely with its parents and. with grown people.? A kindergarten brings the children together, helps them in every possible way to develop the social instinct, and teaches them early to be fair. Naturally ahjld wants everything It tees, and naiir ally -archil d will grab anything It sees andresents be ing taken awayTf NaturaUyahy1 other child seeing one child gTah anything will want to take It away and the children will get Into a row If such thing3 can-.be desl- nated by that term. When these children are young, when their minds are plastic and they quarrel over such things, it Is the best time for them to learn to give and take, -which they must learn If they are going to succeed in. life, and. the earlier they learn It the happier they are. -. A MISTAKE A good deal of the talk In, the legislature against higher educa tion of course is not taken seri ously, but there are men up there whose minds are such that what ever they say must have atten tion These men are strong men, but when they attack higher edu cation they are wrong. It is a fact that we do have many channels by which the child ren can receive :, an education. They must have these channels because children's minds : differ, and it is necessary for them to have avenues for the development open to every inquiring child. A curriculum must be broad, it must be practical. It must be something that will teach youth the real things of life. It may be that we go a bit too far, but on the whole we are turning out young men and young women : better educated than, their parents were, better able to cope with the problems of ife, masters of themselves, more confident of themselves and with more stability, of purpose. A youth Is entitled to an education along the trend of his mind rath er than to try to change that trend and put it Into channels where the man would not be happy. .Voca tions In life are now- being chosen in the school rooms Instead of af ter the education is completed and a lot of time was wasted before. - OREGON MONTH The month of March Is set aside as Oregon month. By this lis meant that during that month every loyal citizen of Oregon will write a letter or send literature to some friend in the east telUng about Oregon. The Oregon story Is a wonder ful one and it should be told to the people of the east. They all know of the "Oregon country," but they know-; very little of the present Oregon 'state. I, There I Is not a state in the union that. has so much to offer prospective set-; tiers as has Oregon, and yon i are doing a ' favor by calling the at tention of anyone residing In any other state to the strong points of Oregon.; ; ' . " ; The Oregon people have been maligned outrageously. In exer- elsing their righta they have adopted legislation which was fair and conservative, and yet a coterie of our own people have held it up as freak legislation. The word freak" fastened itself on Oregon affairs and has been used ever since because it rolls well on the tongue, looks well in print, and makes a man think he is really saying something. Oregon has no freak legislation. Oregon has sane and sensible legislation, and what we want to do is to call attention to the resources of this state. Al most anything can be grown here and. what we need is people who an grow, things carefully, intelli gently, and who can help in for mulating a policy- of marketing. ' ' PAYIXG JTHE DEBT According to government estl mates our huge federal debt ' will be paid In 1969. All the refund- 'ng being done has this in view. The debt itself is ..being reduced an half a billion' a year and the balance of the money goes to in terest. This Is a mighty good ease of flnancering. It is so good that I the , opposition to Secretary Mellon which was so virulent, re cently has entirely subsided- and he . is recognized-as one of the great financiers, of the country. It will be a mighty fine thing to have our public :debt paid off. Not only Is that an object in It self but It' is a good example to .the American people. We are not great debt payers In this country; we are great debt contractors, and we are very apt to "feat off paying our debts until tomorrow. The government should set an example of economy Instead of extrava gance, and it is pleasing to note that it Is doing so THE BUTTER S1TUATTOX The world butter markerls'Im portant. ' ; We import from Den mark, England,,; Canada, Argen una, Holland, Australia and New Zealand, as weU. as a . number of other countries. - From New Zea land last year we Imported 4,312, S 07 pounds of butter; from Ar gentina we imported 4 3,186,537 pounds of butter. " From the en tire world we imported 19,40 4r 81C pounds of butter, and export ed, in the same -. year 8,256,622 pounds. To take the-comparison atitUf arther; we Imported from DenaarkT,l-2,414 poundi and we exported to' thaTonjatry only 227,461 "r--r .. ..Lz-iX dairy In&xt&trj' will stand a whole lot t to supply ourselves, and while It is true we export butter, we can Just as well export four times as much; and that in addition to sup plying the entire home needs. IN TWO YEARS v : . i i( : The. child labor amendment has been defeated. The men who de feated it were not inclfned to sub mit it to the -people because they knew what the action would be if the Issue was put squarely be fore the people, and in two'yeax, there is no ; question about .the ratification of this, amendment. The people of the country want It. Oregon, of course, does not need it, feeing one of the 18 states that hare child labor iaws, but Ore gon, ought to be willing for the other states to have the things that are good for the children.. Missionary Institute 1 Has Great Success There Is a general and wide spread Interest in the missionary program that is being put on at the First Baptist chuch In Salem this week. .Not only the People of Salem, but of town folks are coming in to attend these metings. Dr. M. D. Eubank Is a past-master in the art of public appeal, and he knows the missionary program from start to finish. He has spent a great many years on the mission. fields 'and traveled extensively. As a Medical Missionary in northern China, and as the head of the edu cational system there, he has had wide experience. -His manner of presentation Is largely conversa tional and he touches on questions that are not generally understood. At the afternoon meeting yester day, he took up the foundation of the revolutions! movements in China. For an hour he held the people in closest attention as he showed the changes that have tak en place there. Using the visit of Marco Polo, the Venetian,- who was In China more than 800 years ago as the basis of information and comparing that day fwith the present. In. the vening, there was present.

CHAPTER NO. 387 HOW BOTH CLAIRE FOSTER AND DICKT "PLAYED UP" TO MADGE To my own great relief, when Claire Foster and I left her room together for the, dining-room I found that I no longer had to act the role of friendliness, that it had become a reality. Her ''contrition for the affair which had caused me so much annoyance and humiliation and her eager rather, childish de sire to atone for her fault in any way' possible, had banished from my, heart the dislike and preju dice . with which I had come , to "Oak Lodge,! as Mrs. Barker's house is ambitiously called.' '. Her outburst, "only a gloriously reckless , time, with no thought save the fun of .flying, had con vinced me that no element of af fection for Dicky had entered her escapade. . In the ruthless, , reck less manner of modern youth, she had simply snatched at the op portunity for a good time, regard less of whose feeUngs she hurt in the process. . .. . ' . ; My reaction In her favor, how ever,, did not prevent me from a furtive, tense .watchfulness of the first . greeting between her and Dicky. - . v . , . r . . I .was not 1 so sure that their journeys together had ' been . de void of sentimental interludes; harmless enough, no doubt, though not particularly enjoyable from my standpoint. ' But I was conceited enough to believe that neither . Dicky nor Claire Foster was a good enough actor to hide from the embarrassed conciousness of such possible tender passages. If he ever had kissed her, for ex ample, I was sure that. I would know it when I saw : their meet ing, which I knew was their first since that last wild air ride. Dicky was already in the din ing room when we entered and I saw that he was keeping a dis tinctly wary eye upon the kitchen door through; which Mrs.' Barker might be expected to appear. That the doughty landlady of the moun tain- "put fear into him," I real ized with an" amused' smile which twas careful to suppress; Then he $w us and he crossed thra'room wlthb the nonchalant ' ' graceful stride which is not the least of his attraction's, put one 'hand as it by accident upon mj' shoulder, and held out the other ' cordially to Claire Foster, v ' You've been playing off," he asserted, looking her over, with a whimsical. smile. "Here I've been wrapping myself In sackcloth and piling ashes on my head until I've been afraid some furnace man would dump me out with the clink ers. all because I thought you were crippled for life, or would be eternally minus your nerves or di gestlon, and I would be to blame. And here you look like a two-year old ; Just about to have the blue ribbon pinned on. That's getting sympathy under false pretenses, isn't it, Madge?" "Come On, Let's Eat." "If you ask me,. I . returned flippantly, "I think she's entitled to all the sympathy you have in stock, and then some. And sack cloth and ashes won't hurt you a bit. i She might have been killed." ' "Welt, so might 1 ! " ' Dicky re torted with , well-assumed sulki ness, "but' I don't hear you doing any; wailing over the possibility. That's this new era for you. Wom en stick together like molasses and devil take the poor men." "I've always understood the gen. tlemen mentioned, always takes care of ; his own," Claire Foster murmured demurely, and I saw with relief that . she, too, was "playing up." ; There would be no awkwardness' at 1 the 1 Impromptu supper. "Et tu Brute!" Dicky said re proachfully, "I'm used to having Madge smear me all over the land, scape but I did not think you'd treat me that way. Come on. let's hope" he lowered his voice dis cretely- "that our worthy hostess any ai food." Mrs. Barker Helps.- !IIttsh!

For Mra.
