SALEM TO BE A REAL CITY could not hare lired to attend the meeting of yesterday forenoon for the organization of the second lin en mill company In Salem, j Her spirit was there, and it will be in the various developments as they proceed, in making Salem the Bel fast of the New World. The next thing for Salem mnst be a beet sugar factory. It can be financed' right here, and it should in fact be financed cooper atively, by the growers. They can do it. if they hare the right kind of an organizer. j ; iffHOlQS : LD1IE : Adele Garrison Strw Phaae of REVELATIONS OP A WIFE "opyrght : v . The development of the flax and linen industries in Salem determine the fact that Salem is to be a real city - The Belfast of America ; one of the "most permanently prosperous manufacturing centers 'in this country, or any country. . . . : , ,' V : r '- - Not that Salem rould not become a large and solid city without the advantages of flax growing and linen manufacturing- . .

The Miles mill, starting in manufacturing, is ' solidly financed and conservatively and ably managed And the Oregon Linen Mills Incorporated, which com pany waif organized yesterday, is backed by, practically all of our. forward looking people, and it is to be managed by some of our most successful and enterprising and "far seeing busi ness 'men, coupled with 'representatives of the Canadian in iertshich are behind the largest linen mill operations in tCe New World; three institutions in Canada and one in New ' .Yolk. , -. --rj:4-; u';.. p:Vl, . : Salem is very fortunate in. having such a connection; in having hei initial linen mills" started under such favorable auspices, with the certainty of . successful and growing instiJ asked. 0 And thse "will bring many others.

' " J V Mother Graham turned herself in my arms and answered Kath erine with a docility and meekness so surprising 'that -f'ctst furtive glance at her to see if the fright over Junior's at taxknof croup had not temporarily af tested Her'ferain. Tni?k you. Mr;iI;ecketf; she said. "Thai . Is vdry gooD of you to' say that, ahd K comfofts me. And I will do Vhal you wish, i t think we air 'need a cud ol cot- fee." n 1 She walked heavily to the bed and lay down . upon it. her face, however, turned watchfully to ward Junior's crib. Katherine and I hurried outside, and when we were securely : out of earshot in the dining-room, looked ; in amazement at each. other. She didn't even . insist upon making the coffee." I said at last. . "She's pretty nearly - all in," katherine commented. "And al though I thought it wise to re lieve her mind by telling her the truth, that-the croup attack might have come anyway, I wouldn't emphasize her complete freedom from blame any farther. Her ob stinacy might easily have sent that child into pneumonia if he were less vigorous than he is. . "Isn't there danger now? Ought I to go back to the city?" I think" all danger Is over,' she returned reassuringly. 'This isn't pneumonia weather, thank goodness! And with the lesson she has had she will be the best nurse for him after this. Those women of the older generation on derstand croup, thoroughly be cause they had so much of it to deal with. While Junior is con valescing from this she'll keep him from drafts and playing on the floor, with an assiduity that neither one of us could hope to It THE WAY TO FAIR PRICES back. But as fsooa as you can arrange matters you ought to have Junior With you4S i , , "Surely That's Coffee" - . .' I - ' ' ; "I know it," J answered, and then, with ' a , sudden decision, "and I'm going tor manage It! Just how, I don't knw, for I don't want him in the city, but some how " , "Above all things, don't take him to the city," he warned, and then we both snifEed as might war horses smelling baitle. 3Iy prophetic ttbse!" Katherine exclaimed. "Surely that's coffee." "Katie understands this . fam ily," I answered as we made our way to the kitchen; and found my little maid busily preparing a large tray. .. j. . . , "We were Just Coming down to ask you to make calfee, Katie," I said.'-. :; ; -' - She gave an airy ; little shrug and chuckled.'' -t. ...' , L ' "Ven dees fam-I-jee no vant cof fee any hour day or night, den I know dey ail In dere graves mit two tons of tombstones on top." Bhe replied, and Katherine and I, with our first relaxation from the grip of anxiety of Junior, laughed heartily. : "We'll take ours down here, Katie," I said, "but I wish you'd prepare a dainty tray for Mother Graham and take it up to her. Be very 'careful you 'don't wake Jun ior." Katie Helps Out. ' "l $uer I know better dan vake aoi a-bee."i she retorted brindl Ingly., 'Didn't I stand right dere mit you, efery. meemit I not doing sometings, and ven' he go sleep, I bet you -not; know ven I coom down here..i;l go so softj" She iwa.' Tight." We had hot heard her., and -I hastened to smooth her ruffl?d plumage. "I know you're most careful. Katie," I said, apologetically, "but I'm so nervous about Junior." - "I know dot," Katie granted largely. "Und I be shoost so still as leetle mouse. Und I fees' nice tray. You see ' She was as good as her word. The tray, . covered with a snowy napkin, which she bore upstairs a few minutes later, was calculated to tempt the appetite Of a pam pered cinema queen, and when she had gone, Katherine and I, with ravenous' appetites, attacked the coffee and sandwiches which Katie had prepared in abundance. . "We won't hurry." Katherine decided when we had finished "Your room lsn t nearly warm enough for your . mother-in-law, and the. rest all by herself will be good for' her. Besides, weeed" a bif : of relaxing. We'll, have to watch Junior the rest of the night, turn about, you know.' . . "Why can't you sleep and let me watch him?" I protested.; "You have weeks, perhaps, ahead of you nursing Mrs. Durkee. , "But not for. several nights to come," Katherine countered. "Be sides, you have been under double strain. You happen to be Junior's mother, you know." " There was something In her eyes as she spoke which haunted puzzled me, although I 'felt that the-meaning must lie beneath my hand If I could only find it. . '"(TO BE CONTINUED) A little son of Italy, twleve years old. came to his teacher In a New York public school and asked if he could not have his name changed.: J"Why do you want to change your name?" the teacher asked. , ""I-want to be an American. I live in America now." "What American name would you like?" "I have it Tiere," he said, hand ing the teacher a dirty scrap of paper, on which waa ; written, "Pattrick Dennis McCarty." When David Lloyd George, ex British premier, was a - young country . solicitor In Wales, he was riding home in hs do-cart one day and came upon a little Welsh girl' trudging along so wearily that he offered her a ride. She accepted silently, but all the way along, although he tried to engage her In conversation, he could not get her to say anything more than a timid MYes" or "No." 'Some days afterward the girl's mother happened to meet Lloyd George, and said to him smiling ly, "Do you remember that my little girl rode home with you a short time ago? Well, when she got home she said, 'Mamma. I rode home from school with Mr. Lloyd George, the lawyer, and he kept talking to me, and I didn't know what ever -to "do,1 for you know Mr. Lloyd Georger "charges when you talk with him,-and -I hadn't any money'." iv A Frenchwoman !who recently went 'to live In England became alarmed at the butcher's Increased bill and decided to interview him. On arriving at the shop she ex claimed excitedly: "How is it you are dearer to me now than when we were first engaged?" At her side was a bright-faced boy. "Please sir," said the woman, addressing the agent, "what time does the next train leave for Des Moines?" ; "It leaves at 2:48. madam.' an swered the agent, with just a trace of annoyance. "I have already told you that no less , than six times during the last half hour." "I know yoj have, sir," gently replied the motherly; looking woman, "but Johnny likes to see you come to the window. He says it reminds him of the zoo." - An old gentleman from the Cali fornia hinterland, on his first visit to San Franclnco. went to the Presidio, where he obtained his first glimpse of the military. His attention was caught by the spec tacle of two sentries passing and re-passing each other in silence. He watched them intently for sev eral minutes, then yielding to his kindly instincts, stepped up to them as they met once more, and said, "Come, my. boys, why don't you make up.and be friends?' A negro was lying. down during the noon hour, sleeping in the hot sun. The clock struck 1, the time to pick up his hod again. He rose, stretched, and grumbled: "I wish I wuz dald. Tain', nothin' but wuk, wuk from mornin' ' tell night" Another man. a story above, heard the complaint and dropped a brick on the grumbler's head. Dazed, he looked up and said: "Da Lawd can' stan': no jokes. He jes' takes ev'rythlng in yearn ist." ; ! The business man came home and fell lir a chair 'disconsolately. "You look'tlred." said -the little wife. i -t rwt. ; : i. i "Yes. I've had a bad day. That office boy of mine came In with the old story of getting, away for his grandmother's funeral, fo just to teach him a lesson..-1 said I would accompany him. ' i "He took you to the baseball game, I suppose?" "No such luck! He told the truth for once. It was his grand mothei'c funeral!' One afternoon the ticket agent An English actress wis tnlnklng on an Iowa railroad was called to I of taking a holiday in ti.e Isle or the brass-barred window of ' his j Wight. little office. Before the window ' Her maid, however, objected to stood a motherly looking woman, going there, giving as her reason that the climate was not "embrac ing" enough "Now, what am I to do with a girl like that?.", asked her ruia- ties In mock despair. "Take her to the Isle cf Man." promptly advised the friend to whom she was speaking. Down In Georgia a colored man appeared before the local magis trate. "Well.

' i;! . . v " ; - i The raising of .prices Jhroughjspeculation when there is indication of scarcity is general. Just now this same thing js taking fclace ia the matter, pf coal with the strike in progress. Ittwculd be the same if the farmers of the country were to cut down on ieir production! 1 : The wisdom of hroJuntary , curtailment of production to force higher prices presents grave difficulties however not only to the consumers but to the producers also. It is not the producer who reaps the benefits from the higher prices generally but the middleman, and the speculator who fix the prices for both' the' producer and the consumer." Obviously the consumer is the chief immediate sufferer from this cur tailment of production. But the producer mayalso suffer in the end with his un fortunate ally, the consumer. General and continued pros perity for an industry such as coffee raising or other agri cultural pursuit results from good crops and fair prices rather than from a restricted supply and abnormally, high prices to the consumer. ; : 1 1 In the case of the coffee growers there has been reached through a commission appointed for the purpose an Ameri can .market for a sufficient supply at a normal and stable price, the delivery to meet regularly the demands.
