' And so it is good news that Kimball School of Theology is to remain in Salem, where it belongs- - Good news for Salem and for the school. v KimbalLschdbl is in friendly and congenial surroundings here. ' It can do its best work.hereJ ' It has traditions making -. Salem seem Ukehom olcier traditions that go with the great uni versity with which it Was . designed to work and serve. ' ,f : ' 1 " ' f Salem is a Methodist center. Methodists scattered all over the round world, in various lines of service and endeavor and business; look back to Salenr in a spirit like the ancient Hebrews had with respect to Jerusalem, whose name was the original Salem - ' ' t r It sliould be understood that Kimball School of Theology is not on wheels, that its location is as fixed as the northern .-. star; that it is of Salem and will ever be of Salem. , v ;r- It will thus look forward to a great future of usefulness, ' with an influence for good permeating all the lands on all the seven seas. THE USE OP AGRICULTURAL LIME 1 , . . practically all the soils of the Willamette valley and our coast counties are acid; so are, to some extent, the soils in southern Oregon. Except in limited areas, marsh areas, the soils of eastern Oregon are not acid. .. Good crops of legumes, such as clover and alfalfa, remove 200 to 300 pounds or lime eacn year irom ine sou , : , . Hence the worn out'? soils, especially of westerfl Oregott1 They" were inclined tor be acid when new; they are more so as ; y produce crops each year.

AndJ you'll never guess who wins Shirley until the last minute. . f ;V AGRICULTURAL LIME The immediate response of the farmers of the Willam- : ette valley and the Columbia river counties to the announce ment that the state plant, removed to the 'penitentiary; from Gold Hill, made only a few days ago', was ready to supply agricultural lime of a high quality, has been very encour--aging "r . , i - r ':y''V-'SJi' 41 For promises two very important things. First.; the operation of an additional industry "at the penitentiary, adding its quota tc; the scheme for taaking that institution self sup porting and rendering it a model in disciplinary and reform atory methods.

Clay disliked this peeking habit of hers, which' he already had had occasion to remark several times, and drew, the paper away from her line of vision. - "Let m& see'. What is it?" ' Her husband tried to smile. Folding he paper,' he scanned the lobby. Page John Ingate? He would NOT. . Taking his wife's arm he started toward the elera-: tor ' - . . - "What is it? Please let me see. ... . : 'Tll.show it to you later," he replied teasingly. "All right!" she said peevishly. Are we going to eat now?" "If you like. I thought yon might want to go up to the room and brush up a bit first." 'My eating apparatus doesn't need brushing up. It's ready and roaring for action. . . . Gee, it's a quarter to nine." They went to the hotel coffee shop. "What are you going to hare?" Eve asked, after going over the menu carefully. 'I don't know. How about you?" 'I guess I'll have what you do." The waitress bent her eyes down on Clay expectantly.. He was annoyed by this. Why couldn't his wife choose her- own. rood?. She had done this every meal now. i .(Clay Wales isn't the only has?; band who ever has been annoyed by this wifely habit. Husbands who insist on sharing the. decision on everything else, want. the, wife to use her own head when it comes to ordering a dinner.) - He did not know what he want ed to eat, but under stress of the waitress' watchful waiting h'e mouthed the first thing that came under his eye: The "blue. plate dinner." After the waitress had gone he saw other items that he desired much more.' While they were waiting the eyes of both went around the room. What they saw were per sons largely like themselves, ris- uors irom smait towns, conren- hits of clean satire. .The instru mentation Includes piano, banjo, and saxophone. Agney Kayne, in the Matromaniac," is an artist of rare ability. Her character Imper sonations are real gems. It is an offering that will please all who witness it.

Per haps this jtall .crpp. may turn but tional, uniform; but this did not seem so to them. All these other persons were quite different, per sons to be wondered about, 'or persons whom it was desirable to know. "Let's go out for dinner one erening erery week," Eve re marked suddenly. "We'll make It our night; you can plan little surprises for me and I can plan little surprises for you. What Bay?" Why, he' wondered, should she be so excited over such a sugges tion as that? They probably would go out ior dinner many evenings. He intended to have just as good a time after marriage as before it, and that meant sev eral nights a week of dancing, pic ture shows, - excursions, all sorts of things. They were eating when he sud denly announced: "John Ingate is In town." "He is! How do you know?" "That's what the note was. It was from him." "Oh! ... I think you re mean not to let me see it." "Oh, you do! ... I suppose so suppose you'd like very much to see him." "Why not?" she asked innocent iy. This response was not a balm to his feelings. He. shrugged Yes, why not? He had to do everything but take the place of . . r .1 IJ1.M me Dnaegroom ai iue weuumg, and now, I suppose, he will have td"s"6p'4rvlse the honeymoon, too." Ere colored.' "Clay! Don't be Bo foolish as to be angry. You know I was only spooning about beinsr hurt because you didn't show me the note. I don t care Only I don't think we should let him think we are deliberately try ing to avoid him." "Oh, that -wouldn't stop him," her husband exclaimed bitterly. "Clay! Please- ." The anneal was effective in that it caused him to subside. He was silent as they finished their plates. Then he remarked, as if he had not been angry a moment or two berore: noi mucn oi meal for a hungry man." "No. I'd like something else Something big. Something like a double order of charlotte russe, or maybe pie." Clay ordered pie a la mode, and she followed suit. "I thought you wanted charlotte russe," he said Irritated again because she had to follow his lead In ordering food . "No, pie. What's the matter. mayn't I have pie?" How could he explain this irri tation of his? He didn't try to. ,' They were up at nine the next morning.-; "Shall we go to the club today?" he asked. "Put you in the clutches of that violet-eyed woman? No, we will go to the too." -Eve succeeded in being comic enough in her ex clamation to. induce him to laugh. ."To the zoo. ttfen." ' They were la the lobby, near the swinging - door, when they heard a familiar bail. "Bless you, my children." Clay turned to face John Ingate. "How are you? You're look ing like honeymooners. . . . Were you going out to the club?. Let me give you a boost. No, I won't bother you. You can wander along the flowered paths, alone. I'll Just give you a boost." And they followed him into the automobile. ' (To be 'continued.) . ' ,In J the next instalment: Violet Eyes at Work. , W. B. Storey, president of the Atchison,' Topeka & Santa Fe rail way system, say8:..v W-'tt' That in the manufacturing bus iness the greater the volume man ufactured the loer the cost per unit, and therefore the effort of all manufacturing concerns Is to increase volume of output. That the railroads of the coun try are In the manufacturing bus iness in that they manufacture and sell transportation. That It Is to their best interest to sell their product at as low a price as i possible In order to in crease the volume of business han dled. ' ' - ' That to sell at a low price they must get their costs 'down to as low a figure as possible. ' - ' That they cannot lower wages because these are fixed by agree ments with the men and by the labor board established by law. ' That the only way left is by handling more freight per man employed, which means larger lo- comotives, better track and longer trains. That laws limiting the number of cars in a train or saying how many men shall be employed on a train are laws that, prevent lower ing costs, and to that extent they keep up rates. Any laws that require the rail roads to spend money needlessly have a tendency to keep up rates. . ; i ; t j - Prompted by curiosity, a farmer had grown a crop' o flax a i had a taDie ciotn maae or line.: time later he remarked u iSi- he had put the men) through their performances he told them to re-; port at the theater! that evening, adding: ,- .
