Orefon, m aoeoad-olaaa matter THEN COME SCUTCHING MILLS ; : Jn the course of a letter'tb The Statesman, E. G. Robin, son, president of the Aurora Community Club, says : ; ; j ' "Thanks for your boost :of'Arojrii i the scutching- mill just as sure is Salem will put over the , f present;efforts for the big plant." j j . I . '.' .That is very good news, for scutching mills will have to in order to supply the raw ! There will have to be a be established at various points, materials to the spinning mills. scutching mill for every considerable neighborhood acreage of flax grown. In the European Countries, up to the present time, the scutching has been donp bj hand on the individual farms. But this contemplates peasant labor. We have no such labor in this country. ; So we must adopt improved me thods. The threshing of the seed mu$t be done by machinery ; the retting must be done in concret tanks, with the water warmed. There are newly invented scutchingj machines that materially reduce hand labor. (Not referring to the Henry Fbrd scutching machines, which (are! hot adapted to turning out the kind of fiber that is needed jfor making fine linens.) Flax( growing ?and manufacturing in the Salem district must necessarily 'bei a machine proposition, mainly. , Machine pulling will allow of the growing of flax oh large tracts, or small ones. , if there were no machine pullers, it would be foolish to attempt manufacturing onj a large-scale in the Sa lem district. The hand pullera could, not be had in sufficient numbers at the proper times, and at a cost that would render flax growing profitable. V --j-j !r - - - i It ltris certain that Aurora will have a scutching mill as that . Salem will succeed withestabtishing her second " linen mill, with the help of her loyal neighbors, the people of that ths individual owners thess public conveniences pits ah'""jeco notnii asset. They are conducted alspjn the nature iof privi lege. And the law for theac establishment and mamtamance should be enforced uniformly.' ? ... " . i ' k I . REFERENDUM "BACKFIRE 4 .... An initiative, measure which will increase the tax or. passenger busses and. freight trucks even above the scale of tax provided in the measure which the auto transportation companies are now trying to referend is being prepared. The initiative measure will provide for sufficient tax; to make up for the loss to the state while the legislative act is being help up by the referendum. : -. - r ' h'- . t ! I This is a case of "backfire and should be expected by the auto companies behind the referendum. The lavf .now being referended is an efiort to deal fairly with the ptate, the rank and file of motorists who contribute in gas tax and licenses to the upkeep of the roads while their destruction of the same is only a small fraction of that of the heavy trucks and busses. And the law is fair to the auto companies also. And now the initiative having been started on these mat ters may not similar procedure be inaugurated to put a heav ier tax on tabaccos than the tax proposed by the legislature? Better let well enough alone is a maxim which ought to ap peal just now to the referendum sponsors. ' j " Every obstacle overcome by earnest,' painstaking effort makes future conquest easier " ! 1 .If silence is golden, President Coolidge is a very wealthy man. town would better begin to look out might get enough room for a spinning mill,' too.' It is only one step from, scutching to spinning. the yarns, such as can be produced here, are staple; good as is only another step ' to wheat; and better than wheat. j rlt weaving, in which, there are mariy kinds of specialties.' or their site.'

CHAPTER ,4-4 4 ' THE IMPASSIONED - CRY WITH , WHICH KATIE DISCLOSED HER HEART ; It "was not until' late in fthe evening that X found the oppor tunity to visit1 Katie in: her .room sla I had promised. After dinner 1 indulged imyee'.f in a romp with ray small son, and then, after un dressing him cuddled him in de fiance of all ul-r&-child- training fadlsts, while I told, him till the stories he deniaivded and finally sent him off to sleep with his fav orite lullaby. , . . ' ' ; Then Mother Graham waiting only until Junior was. safely slum ber leg pounced upon me, and de-j n-anded to know everything which had transpired since, I left. I told her onl ythe version j I thuught Dicky would relate when he came home, and tried to paint Claire Foster In as favorable a light as possible. But I said nothing of the glrl attempts to disillusion Dicky, which I had jdiscoreredonly In the moment of her departure. That was something of, which I never could speak to' anyefne. Mother Graham listened' with out comment to myi'stor, .but when I . spoke - comraendimgly of Claire Foster, her lip took on a sardonic twist which depened until I had finished.; . j , - , - . -. i : - ' - .. . .- "Why Should He?" ! ., -i T -: I ' ''You're! a good woman, Marg garet," she said grimly.' "but you're an awful fool.- And I, think you did a: very foolish thing in coming home and leaving Richard alone in the eity. There's no tell ing what ! mischief he'll get into there by himself." ! The retort was on my lips that I had not! married her son to act either as his jailer or his nurse, but it died unspoken, partly be cause I could not make such a remark to my husuband's old mother, partly because I knew that she did not mean a word of the ridiculous suggestion she had iusV "inadewl. Indeed,! , told jcvyse U sardonically, if ther had been the slightest, indication of my putting any espionage upon ; Dicky, his mother would have -scored me roundly for my presumption. - "Hell be too busy for mis chief.' I said plaeatingly. - "His work' has, piled .up., alarmingly. But he will be home in two days, surely,"-- ! ! ' ;- - i - She gave me a ijueerly firtfve glance ". v i "Two days, she repeated. 'But that Chester won't be gone by that time."- - -. ': ; I controlled my anger with dif ficulty as I - icily- said: "Why should he go" before he is able to be removed?".. ' "Oh! just because: the house will: be sort of crowded,", she returned, and I was amazed at the mildness of her reply. , Then I remembered one of her most pronounced characteristics. She has a. lively sense, of justice, and she. evidently highly valueud the fact that. I had rushed to Dic key's aid when he had summoned me after the escapade with Claire Foster. She would not make any vicious criticism of Tom Chester's presence until the . memory . of what I. had done for Dicky had had time to grow dim. i I hastened to change the sub' JeCt. '. - ' :' . f. - -- "Jon Know Vot I Mean?" ; ''Oh, I forgot to tell you that raw'JtriJ)iirlk"eeJr I said, and her quick Interested "Did ?you?J How is she?" betrayed her own anxiety to drop the question ot Tom Chester for the present. I purposely enlarged upon my interview witn our little orstwhiift neighbor-and prolonged it until my mother-in-law began to ynwa surreptitiously. Bhe never wi'l ac knowledge herself slepy, but from long experience of her little waj I was prepared to her ber say em phatically: "Margaret, you must be tired td death. I - mustn't xecp you any longer. Go to bed at once." I "L am sleepy," I admitted, and going to my room, waited until j was sure she was sound asleep before going to Katie. -I I found my little maid sitting Deiore a laoie in ner room, hei eyes fixed upon a largo photo graph of Jim in his overseas urn form. There was such hoplessf ness in the girl's posture that I felt my hand convulsively. " i feel tso funny. I tink my Jeeni he never coom back to me." I "Nonsense, Katie," I answered with all the emphasis I could coul mand. He cares too much to stay away much longer. But, I thouj?h;t you were angry, and didn't want I him to come back for a while. You told me so.' ' diSgUSt. ! i 'Ah, dot mad beesness!"
