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

' The United' States is a protectionist country, ? but the

parliament requires all public officials,' from members of

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

' 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

the many bills up for discussion, the next to the last week
of the session was ' chosen.

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

children are young, when their

over such things, it Is the best
time for them to learn to give and

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. 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

. 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.

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

soon, as we crossed to the dining
table and Dicky drew out first my
chair-rand then Claire's with the
touch of gallant ceremony which
always Invests any attention of
his i to women. For Mra. Barker
had appeared in the door leading
from the kitchen bearing a tray
of steaming ; dishes, and I . was
afraid that even her word to' me
would not be proof against any
thing which she ' might deem im

nothing, and though her manner
