Oregon, aa aeeoad-oloaa natter WHERE DID YOU GET THAT HAT?"! ' . - (Christian Science Monitor, Apr. 18.) ! Mrs. Hemans, in the Rhine Songj of the German Soldiers, wrote in part: ;.! y I bad a hat. It was not all a hat- Part ot the brim was gone: Yet still I wore It on. ! And, metaphorically at any rate, it may presumably be taken for granted that Uncle Sam'sj winter and spring hats are getting into a similar condition,! for, according to infor mation "in the Trade Record of jthej National City! Bank of New York, some $30,000,000 is at present invested in the new hats, which the men of the United States will be donning be fore long, as the summer season approaches. Nearly 100 fac tories in the United States were engaged in the manufacture of straw hats in 1923, that year being apparently the latest for which figures are available 'and yet, according to the Record, nearly all of the material f roin which they were made came to the United States from thej other side of the globe. For one reason or another, it would seem, the American farm er is practically not being helped at all, so far at least s the sale of straw- is concerned, by this j mammoth covering for his country s head. - The above, from the Christian Science Monitor, is mailed to the Slogan editor of The Statesman by "Mrs. A. C. P.," with this note: "Another idea to help the country through the farmers is contained in the enclosed clipping." ; j ; ' ! The matter is deserving of more attention than will ap pear at first glance. The fact is, the traw hat manufacturers of the United States have been i going through a hard time. They are not sufficiently protected against foreign competi tion by the present tariff rates--1 H .' : j:4J:i!!TH ; ' I 'A ' , ' ; : . And so some of our factories were shut down last year, while the straw hat shipments from foreign countries were larger than ever before. : ; I U ! Ah ! 1 There is no good reason why the United States should not be self contained in straw haisi iThei men in our straw hat factories have the know howr and our farmers can fur nish the straw I j : -' - And the drain of money, to foreign lands for our straw hats, as well as all other kinds of our headgear, may as well .be stopped. It is all a matter of giving proper protection to the growers and the manufacturers. "Where did you get that hat?" it is a straw hat. Perhaps in Germany, if AMERICAN FOREST WEEK j owners of land ' , American forest week begins tomorrow. It is a reminder that we must foster fire prevention, and we 1 must have re forestation . j ! " . . ' By the federal government, by 1 he states and by private owners of lands. j I j I t There are towns in Europe that own near by forests, from which they derive enough revenue to pay all city ex penses, with something over. Movements- of i this kind have been started in Pennsylvania and New York. I Their spread is worth encouraging, " and wishing to plant forest trees ought j to be encouraged. "Their holdings devoted to growing forests ought to be. exempted from taxes. If there is to beany tax on such lands, it should be on the timber taken of f. J ! ,! J J The whole matter of forest conservation . tion ought to be reorganized, frorri the top down, and on a business basis. i - j H Hi Oregon, whose wealth 1 consists j so ; largely in timber, should be the most interested of all the states n reforesta tion. We should pass this source of wealth on to the genera tions to follow us. , L I i ! and reforesta- Forthe nine months preceding April first, the favorable trade balance of the United Suites was $935,000,000, or over $100,000,000 a month. This was not due to restricted im ports, for they increased $172,000,000 over the same period the year before; exports increasing! $448,000,000. ,Jn this connection, it is noteworthy that ! General Pershing, a few days ago, on - his return from his triumphal tour through South America, said he was surprised to find that the Unit ed States supplies but-24 per cent of the imports into the re publics south of the Panama canal. There is room for the expansion of our trade in most countries of the world, and es pecially in the South American territory. r j HIE DAY OF RECKONING tional feature, and that the original bill did not contain this appendage..;; v " ''" .!'' - i The whole matter resolves itself into an attempt to evade taxes which ought to be paid for the support of the state gov ernment. The game and fish commissioners are playing the same game. They all enjoy opportunities offered them by the state but when required to pay what even they themsel ves, or by their representatives, during the legislative ses sion conceded to be right, resort to every known device to break down the law providing for these taxes. . Through the referendum and through technicalities of law the j commis sions and the telegraph company may thwart the will of the legislature. But they will by this procedure hasten the day when the farmers, home owners-and others who! have no such means at hand to evade their duty will by means of the ballot lay heavier demands upon them and from which there will be no escape. The day of reckoning will surely come. A TIMELY APPEAL A verv interesting leaflet entitled "Protect Our Natural Scenery" prepared by the department of education of the Oregon Federation of Women's Clubs is being sent out to the schools of the state by Superintendent of Public Instruction Churchill. i:: ...- i ! The leaflet urges school children and all other persons and organizations to defend plant life.' It cites the ! disap pearance of several of the native plants of the Willamette valley and urges the protection of the Oregon Grape the state flower Wild Current, I Rhododendron, Syringa and other shrubs and plants of which Oregon is justly proud. Thus a commendable effort in which the Oregon Daily States man has shared by urging the preservation - of our wild flowers and shrubs in an editorial in issue of April 12. Save the trees and shrubs along our highways irom vandalism which breaks of f limbs, destroys or disfigures the trunks or stems of trees and shrubs, or pulls up from the roots the beautiful flowering plants is a timely slogan. At the present rate of destruction it will be but a short time when many of these natural messengers of beauty will be gone forever. . ! : - ! There is a roseate horizon stretched around Salem; her sun is coming up; great progress is almost here. Boost and be glad! I :l '. V Citizens Training Camp of Benefits Held Great Importance In an effort to create more in terest in the citizens'! training camp which will be held at Camp Lewis, Wash., , from June 19 to July 18, Major G. W. C. Whiting, of the 96th reserte dirlsion, ; will address the students of the Salem high school early this week. All men between the ages of 17 and 31 are eligible for the camp training. The gorernment pays fire cents for each mile las travel ing expenses, and provides uni forms, food and shelter during the encampment. j The morning programs at the camp consist of drill and scouting practice and calesthentlcs. Ia the afternoon, recreation is offered, with baseball games, tennis : and other outdoor sports. Swimming is enjoyed in the beautiful Ameri can lake, and in this activity medals are offered by the ! Red Cross organization for proficiency in life saving demonstrations. 1 Track meets are also held, with medals and trophies going to the winning ' entrants. Dances are held once a week, with 6ne of the regimental orchestras furnishing the music. j j - j - Major Whiting has been having great success In the valley in his efforts to place the matter before the parents of the boys and before the superintendents and principals of the schools. " In Oregon City seven boys have signed up, with the saine number announcing their intention at Silverton. He will deliver an address before the Salem high school this week. Among the young men making the trip last year were Floyd L. King, Howard C. Page. Frank E. Shafer, Henry W. Thielsen, Wilfred O. Walbergj Howard F. Waters and Stanley p. Waters. Major jWnitlng stresses the point that entering, the; encampment, is not in any way to be classed as an enlistment. Any j boy or man is free to leave the., camp at any time, Ifjhe doesn't like it. A thorough physical examination is given" to each one Immediately on arrival and on ' the day of de parture. s j Last year .the average gain in weight for each man was five pounds la 30 days, for the 810 at the encampment. One fat boy lost 42 pounds during the 30 day period. purlng the winter follow ing he regained only 10 pounds of the lost nounced weight,- and he has an his intention of being present this year,-' Other icities besides Salem that Major Whiting will visit are Dal las, Menmouth, ; Independence, Newporti Marion, Turner and Al bany.'."

HAPPINESS It Is not a particularly easy thing to face .the realization; of crass seinsnness in one s owa soul, and for several minutes fol lowing the flash of intuition which had given me the key to Katie's trouble I bent my shoulders to the flagellations of a remorseful conscience. Mistaken in judgment as my poor, ignorant , little maia naa been, yet she had braved terrors of mind and body unknown to bet ter-informed, more poised wom en, and she had braved them with no thought .of consequence to her self that she might save me and mine from harm. Jim, her hus band, had, gone away, angry and misjudging her sorely. And I had made no effort to bring him back. Useless to salve my conscience with the sophistry that she, her self - had refused to give any ex planation to Jim. I knew the stubborn pride which Katie shared with many a far more intelligent sister, a pride which made her feel that her husband should have kept his faith in her no matter how black appearances looked. And I alone held the key to the ance I felt identity of the man whose sum- mons Katie naa ooejea m ueu- to her husband-f although that Lillian had made . a fairly shrewd guess' concerning it. Of course at the first, when we had been caught in the swirl of the events surrounding Smith's dangerous activities, jwej could have risked no slightest complica tion, and Jim with his jealousy and brooding anger was far better in his old home the fishing col ony in Marvin, to which) he had betaken himself with the injunc tion to me to watch over Katie. Lillian Is Surprised. The little hoard of his savings which he had left with; me to use for Katie had not been touched. and I had added to it! the sums which - he had occassionally sent me, with the simple scrawled in scription upon the 'paper "For Katie." I knew the strong sincere affection Jim's loyal heart held for his tempestuous, ' volatile little wife,; and I counted much upon it in the appeal I meant! to send to him at once. " . i' " For there must be Bo i further delay. Whether Katie's: depressed mood was due to Jim's absence or some other cause, she needed her husband's supporting strength. : Lillian's knock - at the door brought me back with & start from my study of ways' land means. I opened the door, and she step ped through it, smiling. "How did you manage t?" she whispered. "The time-honored summer morning had jnothlng. on Katie for serenity when she an nounced dinner. Are you ready? I'd -advise you JLo . hurty-,We waited dinner, you know, for youj and Mother Graham la so hungry she's . actually growlng.'j : ... ,'.. : "All ready." I answered, for I had removed the travel ' stains while I was ruminating; over Katie "But don't imagine -that Katie is 'serene, for Bhe Isn't.

I have a pretty .shrewd; Idea S of the situation there, and the reason for the terror which swayed her, which I know you will! confirm in your own good time, but I should strongly advise telling Jim that his one best bet lies In showing Mistress Katie that In future- he is to be boas with a bir B.
