U LONDON", .Sept. 1. As a result pf the awaJtening of interest in
thejhome production of bct sugar attention ha: heen directed to the
posjibilltr of obtaining alcohol motor fuel from sugar beets.. Two
f olbJjcU mrlvxpfwji0lheiiL by tUamess. One is the tn-ing-Ingpf
more arable land under cultivation and thejother is the provision
of fhat prime necessity, of the empire, a liquid fiersupply.
" IJ- With these purposes In Tiew, and with the support of the British
nfpire Producers' association, the British Powejr Alcohol association
wa organized some time ago with the Earl of Denbigh as president.
; XfrtTfVffyllTJdolaoI distillation , In France aaeotation- has

, vThe matter has been referred to the agricultural committee of the
lid e of Commons with the suggestion that the government should
, suV idlze production up to-$,009,000 gallon for tj?. first three jears.

The time may come, and not at very distant date, when
the same field of beets in the Salem district, or. elsewhere in
this country, may furnish both part of the sugar for the com
Elunity and also the alcohol with which to run part pf the
automobiles, to say nothing of the stationary engines. v v.
, In Germany, the majority of the stationary engines are
run with denatured alcohol, made in various ways, principally
from vegetable wastes. V, '
. England pays higher prices for gasoline than we do in
the-United States. But the time rriay be here sooner than we
think when alcohol will be cheaper in our country than gaso
line,' as a means for making power. v ,;
. And all of this shows how stable is the sugar beet grow
ing industry . ( . ' 'j : -.' .
ts- - Surely nothing can be more stable. . 7
' ' The Salem Chamber of Commerce deserves a jrood share
of the credit for. securing the first and second linen mills for!
this city. This organization is now working to secure the
first sugar f a t"or; here,- It should succeed. It can be put

v,'; Those who are employed thus regularly are generally
faithful, take an interest in their work and show evidsnce of
a' desire for work instead of idleness. , - .
. When wet weather comes there will be less employment
outride the waDs and this will 'mean idleness,-at .east part
time, for some.: '
' Every effort possible should be made to hasten the day
when there will be NO time when any man or woman at this
institution will be without steady employment. The field for
prison industry is occupied only to a very limited extent. The
flax Industry should be supplemented by otherlndustries
through which supplies for itself and for other Oregon state
institutions may be provided.

t Interest in the. flax industry carried on atthe Oregon
penitentiary is shown far beyond the borders of the state.
Publicity of this institutional plan of industry is not only
nation-wide. It is given space in the periodicals jf .Canada
and Europe. ' ' , r " - I': .

it stated that the penitentiary' has the largest flax scutching

i ; The second of the series of page advertisements calling
attention to the injustice as well as the folly of patronizing
the bellringer peddling wares that are to be found on the
shelves of home merchants, appears this morning.
"In most cases, the buyer of articles -from the, Itinerant
peddler pays more than the articles are worth J j
"'And that is not alL ' '
w.The buyer 'of wares peddled from house to house en
courages a practice that is against the best interests of the
hometown.
It becomes d matter, of citizenship to support the home
merchant. He is the one who supports the things that build
up the town and give work to the laboring men.
How much money has a peddler subscribed to one of the
linen mills, or anything else that will make Salem a. bigger
and better city?
This is a matter worth thinking about.

l.J From Wednesday of, this week for the first time in many
years, every able-bodied prisoner except those in solitary con
finement has been employed at something useful. - Of these,
one hundred and four have been engaged in the flaxjndustry ;
a dozen in the tailor shop and an equal number in the shoe
shop; others in the commissary and other departments or in
