HONORING THE NAME
1 Montague Lord, son of former Governor Win. P.-Lord of
Oregon, has subscribed to $4000 of the stock of the Oregon
Lined Mills Inc., through Col. W. B. Bartram. : ,
.: Aside from the investment feature, this is a most gra
cious art on the part of Montague Lord., honoring the mem
ory of ,4ib mother, the late Mrs. W. P. Lord, who was the
pioneer of the fiber flax industry of Oregon- 1
t if ?fl she. had tee yisipn of the possible va&tness of the
.Sndustly; here ' and -&thVp08sib!e great benefits' to' this sec
tion of this state through its fuil development' '
( She had jthe vision and she stood almost alone, and she
held (the vision through varying fortunes ; through loss by j
fire, .thrpigh 'the apathy of ;the people here generally' in re-
gard to the industry, and through. various discouragements
And she was faithful because she knew. . Her faith was
tippdrteoMjy Tier ' knowledge: She knew the "conditions for
growing flax and making linens here were all but ideal: and
shVknew that they did not exist
elsewhere in the-world J : .' ' f i f
That bpth t"he5gTowmg and. the manufacturing on a
la.rge scale can be carried on here, with the factories almost
in sight of the fields ; and this is not true of any other section
cnearth. . ....
MontaguetLordis the leading authority on the sugar
indestry in the! Philippines, with headquarters at .Manila and
offices on theisland of Cebu.' He manages the largest inde
pendent sugar concern in the Philippines, and he represents
the largest sugar interests of the Hawaiian Islands in sending
tljem laborfcrs frjom the Philippine group. Born and raised
ijVenvMo-gue rd has made for himself by hard work
and first class ability a large place in the commercial world
of the Orient. ' ' I - ' a :'; 1
At a meeting of tne people interested m the flax industry,
a couple of years ago, it was proposed and promised that the
picture of Mrs. W. P. Lord must hang in the first Salem linen
xflilL - It is deserving of a place in the secondh and in all the
ethers that will be erected here.

THE MINT
s5 Peppermint . oil . of . Oregon (Salem district) quality is
quoted now at around $13.50 to $14 a pound, and the product
of. forty acres of Labish beaverdam land this year, from the
Hartley and Craig crophas just been sold for $25,080
" And it is possible to produce peppermint oil here to bring
almost $1000 an acre, if sold at $14 a pound
Arid at the cost of growing a crop of hay, outside of put
ting it through the still; and the fanner has the hay besides,
of very good quality for his stock; better than timothy, some
growers say. .
No doubt there will be planted for next year's crop all the
ppennlniogts of the proper kind that can be had;V-
And lio doubt' the business will before longfbeoverdone;

FACTS FOR
.
The assurances given through the press at the beginning
1 cf - the anthracite coal strike, that there was no apparent
tlinger of a coal shortage, was evidently a subject' for debate.
.JL Before ihe strike in ihe anthracite fields, the amount of
both kinds of coal mined, wjs 12,805,000 tons and of this
production 10,661,000 tons were bituminous. The average
v- production per; week 'since the strike began, on September
irst, has dropped in the entire anthracite output and a falling
off of the bUuminous output from 10,661,000 to 1058,0d0
tons. "1 4"
U. Comparison, of distribution for the last week of Septem
- iber.last yeaic and this. shows ;1,124,000 tons less for the week
of-September this year, ' , ,
Reasons for these conditions may . probably be ascribed
to the fact that there was, at the beginning of the strike, an
unusually large amount of anthracite in storage. And it is
probable, that purchasers have delayed their orders for the
Anthracite believing the strike would soon end and they would
f be able to obtain theusual amount of anthracite. Strange as
ii iriay seem; the usual effect of a strike is to slow down
s lisfrihiition ;5n Aha inliwtrv, nnrl . alHorl inHiicrrio nffVrtprl

Figures assembled by the Amer

show that only 40 per cent of the
nation's bread today is home
made. Nearly $500. 000,000 is in
vested in the baking business,
which employs about 127,000 per
sons. It is interesting to note
that the first meaning of the word
'lady". was breadmaker. To make
good bread is both an applied sci
ence and an art. Like construct
ing a box with square corners, it
seems .'a simple thing, but it must
be done just so. In many parts
of the world much of the time
bread is the sole food. "Bread and
games" was the slogan of the Ro
man people, and when Marie An
toinette was told that the san
sculottes had no bread, and asked
Why don't, they eat cake?" 6he
uttered a part of the epitaph of a
dynasty. For bread is not merely j j
the staff of life, but the first prop
of thrones and governments.

THE WAY MADGE TRIED TO
HURRY TO DICKY'S AID

left the telephone, il stood still.
planning the things which must
be done before I could bring to
Dicky the evening ilothes which
Mrs. Durkee's caution had caused
me to take away from the apart
ment I had but little margin for
tius catching of the eight-twenty-three
train and it behooved, me not
to waste any time, j
Katie that was the first step
and huddling my bath-robe around
me, I turned toward iher room and
found myself, facing; Katherine.
"I heard the 'phone ring," she
explained, "but you; were already
at it when I came out, so I went
back again. Any bad news?"
"No, but I must get that eight-twenty-three
train."! I answered.
and explained Dicky's predicament
and mine.
Katherine chuckle with amuse
ment at the contretempts, and
then became her practical self
again, '
"You'll want a quick breakfast.
Of course," she said. "I'll rouse
Katie, if she ' isn't j already up,
while you go back and get derss
ed. Praise be. Mother Graham
must be sleeping on her good ear.
At any rate she didn't hear the
telephone. You donJJ. want her
wakened, do you?"
"Not until I'm nearly ready to
go," I answered, hurrying toward
my own room. "Tell Katie not to
bother with much ; breakfast. A
cup of coriee is- j
''Suppose you attend to your
own business which is dressing,
also packing, and let us attend to
ours," "And I warn you that I'm
not going to let you pack in peace
either. As soon as; I route Katie
out, I'm coming back to help or
hinder." j
"And save my H!f and reason,"
I interpolated with 4 my hand on
my own door.
"I'll be back inside or five min
utes," she promised, and she was
as good as her crd.
Knowing her capability. I did
not start dressing I at once,- but
spent the interval before her re
turn in laying out upon my bed
the things I wished to take with
me. While she packed quietly
and efficiently, I dressed for my
journey, and then belped her with
the little last things.
Katie knocked at the door to an

finished, and we j followed my

she had interpreted my cup of cof
fee most liberally. -
"Shall r call a taxi?": Katherine
asked when I had -begun break

"No," I said thriftily. The car
is in good shape, that is, if you
don't mind driving it back,"
"Not a bit," she affirmed stout
ly. "But'
Whatever she had meant to say
was lost in the bustle of my mother-in-law's
entrance. j
"What's this?" she asked excit
edly.7 'I thought you weren't go
ing until this afternoon."
I explained ; Dicky's predica
ment for the second time-within
the half hour.
"Of course," she assented,
"there's nothing else to do, but It
will give you more time to see to
that apartment for Harriet and
Edwin." Now remember Edwin
has to have' and she gave me
a list of the things which accord
ing to her were vitally necessary
to the comfort, of her daughter
and son-in-law.
"I'lf do the. very best I can to
find something which has all those
points," I said demurely, and
Katherine retired behind her ser
viette with a suspicious coughing
fit.
"Is Junior awake?" I asked
anxiously. '
'Yes, but I don't think you
ought to upset him by sayiag
good-by to him," she answered.
, I cast a furtive glance at Kath
erine, caught'a decided gesture of
dissent from my mother-in-law's
dictum, and rose abruptly.
- "I won't upset him," I promis
ed. "He might fret if he found
out that I had gone without kiss
ing him -good-by. Junior's very
reasonable if you explain things to
him."
"Richard Second is the most re
markable child I have ever seen,"
his grandmother retorted with
calm conviction. "But if you get
him started to crying "
I lost the rest of her threat. in
my exit and ran up the stairs,
where I made a game of my depar
ture with my little . son. telling
him that . I was going to bring
Daddy and some toys toe him, a
promise which I mentally deter
mined to make good at the very
first opportunity.
Then, feeling armed for mjr
journey by the touch of his little
arms, and his enthusiastic kisses,
Iihurried down the stairs' and out
of the house to the garage, real
ising that I had left myself but a
slender margin of time to catch

state.
Nowj. "to judp- f-T. """""it re

former Gov. Henry Al'n r-htly,
"the Kansas grasshopper visitation
was as mild as a cloud of gnats in
comparison.'
' "Tens of thousands of tons of
locusts have been trapped. Bar
riers of steel sheets many miles In
length are set up to stop the
pests. The government has a
special bureau to cope with them.
They have come,, not only ,ore

"But for some . unexnlainable
reason th Kansas grasshopper
