THE U. S. FLAX BULLETIN
J , V The Farmers Bulletin, No. 669, of the United States De
partment of Agriculture, on FibeV Flax, copies of which may
be had at the Salem Chamber: of j Commerce headquarters, has
some information that is of value- I ! -f
- ; But it needs sadly to be bro lght up to date.
' It does not know of a successful flax pulling machine.
It has not heard of warm witer retting; it still believes the

ting flax; whereas it is no
of the Santiam or Willamette
- stream, warmed. It has nob
cuts in getting the fiber out df f Lax j . v
. :And there are a number bf other things it has not heard
about. ; ..r, J. . j f ,
, It gives a map showingj th 2 fiber flax, districts of the
United States, western Oregon $nd Washington and parts of
Wisconsin, Michigan and New Vork near the Great Lakes.
The Bulletin especially mentions the Wisconsin district.
, ..But the, flax machinery jfroin that district (from Beloit,
Wisconsin,) is now being shipped to Vancouver, Wash., the
Jndustry having proven a faiun; there. fThe fiber produced
there is all right for coarse fabrii:s, such as Henry Ford needs
for his car tops, seat coverings, etc., but it is not suitable
for fine linens v I 1
And the fact remains that ours is the only district in
North America that can grojr tie finer fibered flax; and; the
most favored district in the world for both growing and man-
ufacturing it. '' " - : " -

THE REASON . FOR KATIE'S
TROUBLE WHICH MADGE
DISCOVERED. f
The thermometer of my spirits,

of affairs at home, took a sadden

'Mother Graham; withe Junior by
the hand; and Ldlliarf with' Marion
dancing in glee beside her, were
at the hall door with the loving
welcome so dear to a returning
traveler but there was no sign of
Katie. And when I had raptur
ously hugged my small son, and
had greeted the others, I asked
after her. r '

tartly, j "She rushed In here Just

anew she meant -to tell me that
Katie needed me, and 1. put my
hand up in a pretense of tucking
in my hair as an answering signal
that I had understood her. i
- "Come, I Junior, I stooped to
my ' son rapturously clinging j to
me.' "Suppose we go upstairs! to
Mother's room."' 1 ; ? .
; "Mother Graham, have you seen
this?", Lillian asked, holding an
open magazine out to my mother-tn-law,
"it's another attack Ion
American literature. This author
declares we never have produced
any one worth reading. j
Mother Graham's eyes flamed
with ! the light of. battle , as she
held out her hand for the maga-

"Come Into the library by the
fire," she said. ' 'Til probably feel

With the certainty that she was
safe for several minutes at least,
I went upstairs with Junior, fol
lowed by. my father, with my bag.
When .- we reached my - room, I
spoke hurriedly to- my father: ; ,
"I must see Katie at once, I
said fin a low tone. "Will you
take care of Junior,, please?. .
He caught up the little lad with
an expressive laughing glance at
mej and 1 flew down the; back
stairs .to the kitchen, where; as I
feared, I found. Katie seated i be
fore the kitchen table, : her' head
bowed upon her outflung arms,

put my hand over! her mouth with

that he was safe with my father.
