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

f present;efforts for the big plant." j j . I . '.'
.That is very good news, for scutching mills will have to

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 - - -

REFERENDUM "BACKFIRE

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

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

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.' '
