If the ballot title is held valid It.is apparently the hope of the auto people that it will be easier to obtain the.votes necessary to put over the referendum than it will be should the term-taxes be changed to licenses in the bDl. Voters abhor additional taxes and hereby hangs this part of the, tale r, j t X .

The hegira of the jJapjanese from California is put ting a crimp in the asparagus' supply for the canneries of Cali fornia; will probably put an end to a very! cheap supply down there Vi'V : I IV'jVj VV N y' ". W-V:" And this will help the asparagus industry of the Salem district, where we grow a very high quality. This will enable our growers to compete in price.' It will bring canneries here,' if the situation persists. ' i 1 1 ; ! 1 1 i J , j . The Slogan editor of The; Statesman .has been saying for years that every farmer and gardener injthe Salem district should grow some asparagus and that there shQuld be devel oped ah increasing number of commercial growers here, sup plying the widening markets for fresh asparagus! in the grow ing cities of the Pacific Northwest, and even in a much wider field, and raising a large surplus for canning, j - There is no vegetable that lends itself; so well for canning purposes; no otner yegetaoie tnat, wr.en not' in prime and tender condition, is improved iby the nr.odern processes of can ning made more tender and' appetizing. We can grow the best asparagus , -t 1, No one in any country ever; raised better asparagus than was formerly produced On the :Miramonte farm of tMtecke Bros., near Aurora - ; " j; M ;m t: ' And no one in any country ever asparagus than the supply that is now coming from the Lab ish beaverdam lands near Salem to our local markets, and go ing out tp wider markers. j j- v The new "Washington'' variety, originated by the United States Department of Agriculture-, has been tried out in the Salem district.'and it does wonderfullv well here. It makes a product that the wide world cannot beat, if it can be equalleoT in another section. , - j ' ; . There is nq good reason why asparagus growing on an ex tensive scale should not be developed here in ihe Salem dis trict. The growers here now who produce It commercially are doing well. 1 I 1 j , It is a safe crop. Using the rust-resisting Washington variety, there can be no danger of j failure, under proper con ditions of culture here,' and on the right soil, so abundant in this district ; and with the asparagus beetle kept put or its ravages controlled.-: j '; n ! illil : '';:. What Salem needs is a cannery, manager who will help to push asparagus growing here. I He can make a name for his concern, with a quality :product, and he can bring to this sec tion annually large sums of money from long distances, and he can put his cannery into operation at a time of the year when there is little or nothing else in the way This very thing is now being considered by the managers of at least one of the largest cannery concerns represented here. With this concern, tm question is: a sure annual sup-. -ply and ata price thai will h ave a margin for the expenses nf rnnninrr' anrl nf marietincf thft cannd nroduct. The QUalitV is known to the people concernjd to be entirely satisfactory. lJ Therere others, oo, knowa' tO' be doing some Uiinking along this line. So the grower need not fear to go into as paragus, if he has the rght land, the industry, and the vision. He has first the fresh market ; a wMening market. When this is supplied, he has the assurance that canneries will take the surplus, at some price, if assured an annual supply ; and, from present indications, considering the changed California situa tion, at a remunerative! price for the! gi owers here. - " One of the next major developments for the Salem district should be a gigantic asparagus industry. Even the Governor responds to the umpire's command, Play Ball," and urges everybody to attend the opening game.

Logan that the ballot title should remain as it is and Attorney General Van Winkle presents the same argu ment upholding the title as prepared by him.'' V " The county court represented by J. H. McNary and E. M. rage argue that the title is defective in that it speaks of taxes on the busses while it should say licenses or charges 'for the use of the highways. . And here's a few features which onlooker. The attorney general seeks to uphold the ballot title for the state: The auto organizations behind the referen dum whose ballot title is how complete but petitions for which are withcld from circulation pending the decision of the court, are also seeking to uphold the validity of .the ballot title."

AH his clothing except the busi ness suit he had om and the ar ticles which could be put in a small bag, were in trunks some where along the " Voad between Caldwin and New York. I had but a trotteur suit in 'Which I had traveled to -the mountain resort when Dicky j 6ent for mo, and a little afternoon gown which it was impossible for me to wear toa restaurant dinner without a wrap. For both Dicky and ne the tail ored suits were our only sartorial resource. Claire Fostet- knew this,; and she .must also have known that under the circumstan ces her, own elaborate evening costume was 'the acme of bad taato an lit K.nnil ( m There is! nothing fastidious Dicky hates so much as to be con spicuous in finy way, and I could see him visualizing the amused and curious glances which in any restaurant would " follow the en trance of our party- he and I in sober street attire, and Claire Foster in hey flamboyant'costume. But he allowed no hint of irrita tion to escape bim,and 'wrapped Claire in her. handsome I evening coat with so much Impressment that again the torturing question returned to me: k- Was he so deeply infatuated with her that nothing she did mat tered? j ; The ineviiable companion ques tion followed close on its heels. Was Claire's knowledge of his feeling the reason fo her out rageous actions' since she had come to the j Bliss apartment? One thing I knew. A woman must either be vefysure ; bf a man's abiding affection' for her, or total ly indifferetft7,to s his . opinion, to stage the j performances Claire Foster had put on in the last 36 hours. Dicky's Spirits Drop. I had no time for further spec ulation, however, as a rjlng at the bell heralded the arrival of the taxi for which impatient Dicky had telephoned before Claire ap peared.' And from that: moment until we had finished dinner at a restaurant which I knew Dicky must have Selected for its easy mannered, easily-pleased,1 careless clientele.

Man-like, lie first had brought -out a bunch of letters and cards' which h4 had left on the mantel while i bej consulted the address book and had not return ed to hi3 pocket 4t least as far as I" had seen.' Wiih my dislike, amounting almost to an obession, for dust or disorder, I had noted dust on 'the. mantelpiece, . and while wiping it off had arranged the scattered' envelopes in a neat pile. But I distinctly remembered that I had left the telegram up right against the wall in its orig-, inal position. "Are You Sure?" "Are you sure you didn't take ihe telegram down when you put your letters back in your pocket?" I asked. - j i - "Yes.
