Brady, formerly now editor of the Idaho State following note:. : "I noted your editorial about the by-products of sugar beets. I had occasion to go over the Minadoka project recent ly and learned that the growers averaged $8 an icre f or the beet tops. The price is forty cents a hundred pounds and it averages $8 an acre This is for your information." L The editorial referred to was one printed pn the sixth, which quoted Mr. Love, head of the national organization of eet sugar interests, as saying that the by-products of an acre of sugar beets will make than an acre of corn will make. There is no question at Salem is a beet sugar factorynext after the development of the flax and linen industries j j j And one of the principal reasons is the by-products; tops, pulp, molasses, etc. " ' ' : i l l' We can grow the beets with the right sugar 'content; we an get the labor. We need only the capital, or organization of our farmers. IS PORTLAND (Portland Journal) j ii "To develop the linen industry in the Willamet,! valley means all-year employment for workers" said State Treaserr Kay to the State Bankers association in session at Oregon Agricultural college. "The facilities of the Port of Portland belong not t4 Portland only but to the state as a whole," said Port Traffic Maaag4rtfudson to the same audience. The balanced development of induatiy and agricul ture build the country, the port and the city, j - I Several weeks have passed since the effort begaa jo eecure- Port land's quota in the linen mill which is to be built at Salera. The mill is to cost $600,000. Salem, a comparatively small citjjr, put up half. Portland's quota has been fixed at $135,000. As ths (fs written, less than half some $57,000 -has been eubscribed, and that by a very smalL group of the many whose fortunes depend upon culture, merchandising, banking and the port. . ; j Because of Its exceptional fiber and color, Willamette valley flax commands a premium wherever linen is woven. Wei have some 4000 acres in flax this year; 200,000 acres in the Willamette valley J are suitable to. the production of flax. One linen mill is n prospect; with maximum flax production 25 big linen mills could operate, from Port land to Eugene. ; 1 .""v i jt'j . . f'- j' T The flax and linen industry, almost alone, transformed f Belfast, Ireland, from a squat village into1 a great city and pof-t.

' THE CALLES' REPLY President Calles' reply to Secretary Kellogg's diplomatic reminder of Mexico's duty to protect, to the extent of her ability, the lives and property of our citizens Mithin lier bor ders has the "gallery" ring. . Addressed to his subjects, it appears as an appeal for recognition of administration cour age and loyalty. If this is not the real purpose of the Mexican president but is genuine expression of his interpretation of the American note, thenl Secretary Kelloggj bwes it to the American people to acquaint them more explicitly concerning the basis of his note to Calles. . The United States government should insist upon justice to her subjects and her economic interests in neighbors, Mexico included. It should furniiflijno excuse for offense to any nation by either ill-timed or cjvpr-zealous crit- ! icism. And it is, at this time with only the evidence at hand in the matter, inconceivable that Secretary kellogg with the endorsement of President Coolidge, should have dispatched the note which has been termed an "insult" by Calles unless conditions warranted such note.1 i 'r..!- v !l M : , Whatever, the basis for this government's communica tion to the Mexican president it was direc jta HIM as the Chief Executive. This method is recognized- diplomatic cour tesy. Calles' method of reply was, unless agreed to in advance by our Secretary, the method employed by egotistic official dom for 'the applause of ignorant or short-sighted subjects. i i Whatever the reason for the Calles' rxiethod of reply through his press to his subjects Uncle Samueji should ignore it. The greatest objection to the whole matter as projected by the Mexican president is his subjects to the government of the United States. And, too, the effect upon Latin American countries further south may be sympathetic antagonism. v. " The dignity and rights of respected. Their protection ment as its first duty. Conflict beyond diplomatic procedure should not be thought of though it should! be made plain to Calles -that this government is as determined in the desire . for fair treatment of her citizen rights as! she is for justice for her neighbors.

' The fact that the little city of Springfield purchased a site for these shops and terminals twelve years ago, makes Eugene's action the more unfair. , , - . . . . Springfield has carried this investment during all these years and now beholds the larger "brother? ignoring ordinary courtesy and justice and by exercise of his larger financial ability trying to wrest this civic asset from her. Springfield is an enterprising , up-to-date city of 2500 people and one of the very few cities that have been consist ent supporters of the Southern , Pacific. : She stood by the railroad company rendering to, her marked assistance during the I fight to unmerge the railroads and is entitled to Ahe Southern' Pacific's Royalty.-'-' f- L:'-fi!t f ''' It is current expression outside of -Eugene that her atti tude in this matter - is ; a mistaken - tine. If she succeeds in robbing Springfield of the iocation.of the shops. she will have injured the latter and will have added little to her own advan tage except to benefit the speculators in acreage around the location of the shops. ; ' ; Located at Springfield as at first planned, Eugene would be the larger beneficiary as the territory extending from her to Springfield would no doubt, be .built up with homes and business structures when all could -be merged into Eugene City;-. r-::i ;V; :::r ; j.;;: - : : ' Grabbing industries from a neighbor is neither honorable nor profitable finally.

He was not a good card player and it' was only after much pres sure that he took a hand. After a particularly g I a r i n g error his partner turned upon him in real anger. "Why didn't you follow my lead?" he aeked. -r, j "If I followed anybody's lead, sir," exclaimed tne novice, 'hotly, "it certainly wouldn't be yours. His partner subsided. ' - In the next hand, however, f he threw down his cards f in desperation. "Look here," he cried, "Didn't you see me call for a spade or club? Have you no black suit?" "Yes, i; have," retorted the no vice, "but I'm keeping it for your funeral." i.-- i r A man and' hts wife who. bad both been brought up in a coun try .village decided to spend their summer holiday in London, where according to rumor, the 'streets were paved with gold.: ' Having 'spent an enjoyable day IN OUR OFFICE "t t ' 1 Ait toe raws .(. - a - - N. 7 .X .

Service CIIAPTEtt F38 THE v WAY MRS. DURKEB f "HEAD" ALFRED TO MADGE I started at Mrs. Durkee: In amazement when she said that Al fred, Dicky and Bess Dean shared some secret which the boys were afraid would get out.. .- But belief struggled with In credulity. I remembered, the un accountable behavior of both meii the evening before when Leila had j mistaken some woman in the cabaret for Bess Dean, and the! knowledge was borne in upon me that in the contest I saw approach ing there; was a stake of my own as well as the paramount stake of gentle Leila Durkee's peace of mind. . . 1 , 'Oh, you needn't look as if I needed a keeper and a straitjack et!" 'Her Flufflness said pettish ly. I "I may not have as many brain, cells as you modern women. but I can see through a knothole just as well as any of you young sprigs.". . ! -1 smothered my chagrined as tonishment, and crossing swiftly to her side, bent and kissed her with an am'used little laugh.: I "Don't be cross," I said. "You know I always have had the great est respect for your acunien." She returned the kiss, but gave me a playful push. i; "If you ony wouldn't swallow the dictionary all the time, you'd be the most adorable creature I know," she said, laughing. "But I'm so glad you're here: tonight. You'll be able to see for yourself what that imp is up to, and maybe you can figure out some way of blocking her little game. That's one reason I asked her to stay, so you'ii have a chance to see her at work, all right. I never saw her equal. . And she must have a hide like a rhinoceros.- She's what Alt calls) a 'smooth article.' You can't give her a hint strong' enough for her to take." . "I Don't Know." "Your hints!" I scoffed. "A baby's frown would be sterner." "Well, what can I do?" she defended het-self quickly. "If I rcame out and said what I thought of her, it would only make Alf angry. He would think I was taking sides with Leila against him, "and ,tha- wouldn't do a bit of good to anybody." f For a second I wondered wheth er her dread of offending Alfred, born of her mother-love, was stronger than her sense of justice to her gentle, unoffending daugh ter-in-law, but her next words showed me my mistake. t'No that I don't blame Alfred," she went on. "He's making . a perfect idiot of himself, and when the time comes I'm going to give him the biggest tongue lashing he's had , from , the since he set the house on fire with some ex periments he was making when a boy.. He'd better be careful, or I'll take a hickory switch to him as I used to do when he ate green apples. Come to thing of it, men never do grow up, do they? Alt's still. making foolish experiments, and if, he doesn't look out he'll set his house, on fire." v ii-. . '.We, won't let It get that far." 1 promised, with an appreciative smile for her quaint comment upon her son, a stricture which I wished that young man:, could have heard. It might have pen etrated bis masculine conceit to realize " that Jhis volatile i little mother- whom he delights to call "Her Flufflness" has read him so. surely. -- - r'V- "! don't know,?' she said dole fully. "You can do something with a balky horse, a mule or even a goat, but a man " I ; - She spread her hands with a gesture which set free the laugh I had been trying to repress. She looked at me reproachfully for a second, and then joined me "Any Objections?V , - "Well, I suppose - It isn't any use crying until we nave to," she said. "And now. I'll get r into something and go down to the kitchen." :. " "Look here," T said practically. "Can't you tell me what you have planned " for i dinner and let. me get it with Bess Dean's ald?- I'd like a chance to see her alone, any way, and you need to' lie down. Come, now be a good girl, and let me have my way. It won't be as good a dinner as you could get np. but It won't be spoiled either." "I know how good It will be." she said, "unless you let her have too much of her own way. I don't believe she. knows how to boil ahi egg. But your dress -" "I hare a big apron in my bag? It : covers me from head to foot; and my blouse sleeves are short. Any objections?" . "Not one." she acquiesced, and in another two minutes I was on my way- to the kitchen and Bess Dean. - ;-.
