BROWN M IENRY JT.-BEAN - A FACTORY THAT The fact that Salem is to have a potato flour, starch and dextrine factory, as was stated under the Bits for Breakfast heading in The Statesman of yesterday morning, is worthy of more than passing notice For such a factory, conducted by men who keep up with the times, has great possibilities. There is a very wide range of products based on potato starch and dextrine, all the way up (or down) from the face powder for the ladies of the country; a product of higher quality than can be produced otherwise. And a great variety of pastes used in textile and other mills. And many other uses, including preparations for the kitchen, "where potato starches are better than com starches. The benefit to our men on the land will be the putting of a substantial basis under the potato industry, making potatoes in rotation schemes a reliable crop, year in and year out; a very valuable one in years of shortage and consequent high prices JH' "For the factory will take the cull potatoes. Will make them return larger values to the community than are repre sented by the sales of the choice stock. r' v The Salem district can produce a potato, that is specially (Jiine ior nour ana starcfi and dextrine. w THE LIMB .)Tyiden, contention of the Southern Pacific attorneys injlheult befori' the public service commission is that the ccmiSSin cannot lawfully compel the hauling of the lime and liriieock at a 'rate that would not yield a profit, figured according,to intricate rate making rules 4, .. And that, such a reduction, for the general public good, .is a matter of voluntary managerial judgment on the part of the railroad officials. , U such a contention be upheld, it is a pity the railroad officials could not have seen their way clear to granting the .reduction voluntarily. Making it a special case, based on t general public good, and not a precedent for other rate making , . . .. j JBecause the railroad of ficials know lime is needed on the land of the Willamette valley and coast counties; know the land'MUST have lime, in order to keen or hrino- it tn mA-ri. mum production. f ' ' the state is doing a wonderful service; giving the farm ers ; lime at a' much reducedcost ; giving them four months to pay for it (only giving up their 2 per cent cash discount), and charging them only 6 percent beyond the four months. 4 If no one throws a monkey wrench into the lime scheme, the state will ere long be making it possible for farmers to buy lime and PAY FOR IT AFTER ITS USE HAS BROUGHT ADDITIONAL PRODUCTION SUFFICIENT TO MORE THAN PAY FOR THE COST OF THE LIME. THE FUNDAMENTAL Edward S. Jordan says the cost per ton-mile is the funda .Jnental of civilization ; "firstfarmer. produced a little more on his plot of ground than he could use himself, he carried it on his back to the nearest market..'

It will be like putting the Pacific ocean alongside Salem's water front, with only the difference of the slight cost of barge transportation and transfer in Portland harbor. It will be connecting Salem with every world harbor by an all waiter route " - And the same thing will be true of both banks of the river all the way down to Wilsonville And eventually all the way up to Eugene, because thai is the natural thing to do, a thing that should have been done long ago. In other words, our people and our government have been slow, in this respect; slower than Germany-and other European countries. If the Willamette were the Rhine or the Elbe, it would have had still water transportation for boats and barges this tong time - ' Adding to the potential value of every acre of land and every city lot in the whole great valley, by making it possible to reach all the markets of the world with their products and their wares at a lower per tcm-mile ' cost. f ,.; CHAPTER FIVE "You will trouble me. unless I see you out of this mess," Piggy retorted, longing to get his hands m the man who had caused it. Be ing both unanalytical and inexper ienced in armorous emotion, it did not occur to him that she mani fested neither the symptoms of disappointed love nor the proverb ial fury of a woman scorned. He thought merely that she was a game little sport who was taking a severe shock uncommonly well. "There must be something I can do." "There's nothing anybody can do now. Unless Perhaps you can tell me where to go to find em ployment? I don't know." "Employment?" he echoed stu pidly. "You? What kind of em ployment?" "I might teach French. I speak it well. And I paint pretty well. I suppose I could do place cards and lamp shades and things like that. Or perhaps I might sell things in a shop?" Piggy was no connoisseur of feminine apparel, but he did know something about leather, and the bag at her feet was not only ex pensive, but seemed to harmonize with the- rest of her belongings.. As he phrased it in his own mind, she looked like a. million dollars. "Well, we can't settle that here," she interrupted. "I can't go anywhere until I know how I'm going to pay for it. I just gave the last cent 1 have in the world to that porter." Piggy gaped at her incredulously and she gave a little shrug, adding with a gleam of in spiration: "Oh. of course, a pawn shop! That's what one does first, isn't it? Do you know of one near here?" "Rats! You can't go to a pawn shop. I'll loan you all you need," Baid Piggy impulsively. "I can't let you do that." "Well, you can't turn yourself loose in New York without any money," he countered- "You might why, anything might happen! And you're not going to a pawn shop either. Now you be sensible. You don't know me, so you'll Just have to take my word for it that I'm all right. And I'm going to make . sure you're taken care of until you -can hear from your friends. There aren't any women in my family Just dad and me so I can't take you homevery well, but if you won't go to -a hotel, let me take you te my aunt, Mrs. Colton Dollard. If you don't know who she is, you can look her up in the social register." : "Oh no; no!" -Again she shrank a little. "You mustn't -I can't you don't understand " When she saw his astonishment, she con trolled herself, adding more calm ly: "You're very kind and I do ap preciate it, but there are reasons well. I can't explain. Hut I can't go anywhere with you. : If you really want to help me. you'll just forget all about this and me." "AH right." he responded promptly. "111 forget it. As far as I'm concerned it never hap pened. But only on condition that you'll let me loan ' you enough money to see you through until you can hear from your friends, or else let 'me buy you a ticket back to where you, came from." She shook her head, turning her face away. "I'm not going back. can't. Icarae here to do some thing, and I'm going to do it in spite of of everything!" "Bully for you!" saM Piggy cheerfully. "Then that's settled. The next thing Is to find out what you'd better do meanwhile. Let's go over to Sherry and find a cor ner where we can talk. There won't be anybody there at this hour. You've had a Jolt, and - a glass of wine will brace you up. After a, while we'll ; have some lunch. : Come on." f ; .''.; :i Picking up her Eag. he led-the way to the cabstand, and she fol lowed. Neither .of them noticed that a small, dark man who bad been loitering near by while they talked, apparently Idly watching the changing crowds, came '.sud denly to , life - and ; strode after them, "nis brow farrowed by per plexity.. He took the next hansom after theirs and told the driveiKtf When Piggy found himself seated in the .hansom beside this strange young woman he was con scious of a certain surprise.. There tofore, as has been said, women had held no particular place in his life, and even in daydreams he had never pictured himself as a pos sible squire of dames. Yet . here he was to some extent espousing the unknown cause of this, un known. girl, having voluntarily and insistently undertaken to protect and finance her for how long a time he could not even guess However, he had done it not be cause she was a girl, but because in spite of that handicip she was a thorough going little sport and in hard luck. She had taken, standing, what he imagined would have been for most girls a knock out blow. She.didn't even whimp er about it. As a matter of fact, he told himself, she d,idn't act like a girl at all. Neither .making eyes at him, nor assuming the con sciously unsentimental manner of the damsel aspiring to be regarded as a possible pal, nor yet taking it for granted by virtue ofher fem ininity that it was his business as a male to serve her, she seemed quite simply and naturally to for get him. Sitting in her corner of the cab her brown eyes absently fixed through her thick veil upon the crowded panorama of the streets, she retired within herself as any fellow in trouble might have done, and it was as a fellow in trougle that Piggy yearned.. in his own vernoeular, to give her a leg up. If she had exhibited a tendency - toward gushing gratitude, or to ward tears, or if she had betrayed, the slightest curiosity about him. or any indication of expecting any thing of him, he might have taken fright and turned shy and elusive himself. Instead, she ignored his presence, lost in the mystery of her own thoughts, and they drove the few blocks from the station to Sherry's old place at Forty-fourth Street and Fifth Avenue almost in silence.

' ' The Bits for Breakfast, ' man over the prize fight ? : ' m - ' ' In fact, he had to inquire of a newsboy what was the reason they gave the decision to the fish oh "yes, to the tunney. The news boy knew all about it. He had it figured out that the other sucker oh yes, Dempsey was yel low and would fake the fight. So he bet on his piscatorial favorite and won the money: So he will henceforth be an oracle akin to the ancient one at Delphi on prize fighters. mm mm S However, the Bits for Breakfast man has no objection to any one spending time on studying the points of prize fighters if that is the thing he considers worthy of the time spent. He does not want to be Intolerant in any way. - S One of the big things in the handling of the state lime, plant under the egis of the revolving fund law is the advantage to many farmers in getting time to pay for their lime. They get four months now, without interest. They pay 6 per cent Interest after that. They get 2 per cent discount for ciish. . In due course of time there should be a surplus created In the revolving fund that will allow farmers to get their lime and use ft, and pay for it after they have made more than enough money y the use of it to pay for it. That is, by the Increased production of crops 'on their land. It is con ceivable that this might require a good sized sum to allow of sah a long line of credits! But ij might be arranged so that there wonld be no possibility of the state suffering, any losses through any farmer never finally paying for the , lime. , - j One thing is as certain as two and two are. four.

CALAMITY HOWLER Editor Statesman: "Calamity howlers." What are they? Ever hear of them? The name started from the Populist party in Kansas a few years ago. They howled so incessantly and persistently that their howls were heard, not only throughout the state of Kansas, but in several neighboring states, and that prince" of reformers, William Jea ntUgs Bryan, took up the echo and broadcast it throughout the na tion. Another howler, editor of a daily paper in Atchison, Kansas was instrumental in breaking up the worst political ring that ever cursed a state. For that crime (?) he was sentenced to eighteen months in the state prison. After serving his term in prison he went and did some more howling, md later published a history of the Kansas and Missouri peniten tiaries entitled "The Twin Hells." Well, for three years they held the reins of government In that state, and brought about many needed reforms. But through threats, persecutions and the al mighty dollar they were retired to private life. But what happened? After they were gotten out of the way, their persecutors took up lime, if they are to produce, or continue to produce, paying crops. There !s no chance of a dispute on that point, and there will not be. in a thousand years, or a million, or ten million. Speaking of tolerance, or intol erance, again, a man came to The Statesman office in a high slate of excitement yesterday. A cer tain newspaper had said there were only 20,000 marchers in the Hlan parade in Washington last week, at the annual national con vention of the Klan. The fact was, he said, there were over 200. 000 by actual count, against 166, ftOO last year. And he had a copy of a big newspaper, the Fellowship Forum of last Saturday (published in Washington. D. C), to prove it. But the Bits for Breakfast man cannot work himself up to a very high state of excitement o.'er the matter. What's the par ticular difference whether 20.000. 166.000. or 200,000 people march in any given parade. The kaiser Tad 9,000,000 men goose stepping for bis pleasure and now look at him! Before You Invest INVESTIGATE For the past two years whenever the question of heat has come up for consideration in any important Salem Building;, knd Business Men made a thorough investigation of this all im portant problem, considering all types of fuel available in Salem both from the standpoint of present cost and also of assurance of future cost, and considered safe and efficient opera tion, the very minimum of labor costs and the best assurance of a well managed boiler plant, invariably the IRON FIREMAN has been adopt ed as the only burner that could give a satisfac tory solution to all these problems. When the question of heating the splendid Y. M. C. A. building was considered by an able group of business men all type i of burners and fuel were considered, after writing to many stoker users the decision was an IRON FIRE MAN as the only burner that would do. The Board of Regents of the State Normal Schools, having at its command exact informa YOU ARE SAFE WITH, THE IRON FIREMAN 'FeedingVour Heating Plant We will be glad to tliscuss your heating problems and see if a stoker can be of use to you, if it can not, we will be frank to tell you so. If it can, you are wasting money and foregoing comforts every day you are putting off without one. Telephone 1855 Now and Airange for an Interview most of the reforms-, that they (the Pops) had started and put them in their platforms. ' What about the political at mosphere in-our nation today? Are there' any reforms needed? The progressives and the radical republicans are at daggers points. Senator Brookhart of Iowa was kicked out of the senate last spring because he would not be ruled by the bosses. The farmers and the others in that state re turned the compliment by elect ing him to the next congress by a large majority. His life is now threatened, and when he goes out he has to have a body guard. He spent less than-$1000 in his cam paign. How does that compare with the other crowd who spent millions hi the primaries In Penn sylvania and Illinois to elect their candidates? Has there been any assassins looking for their hides? Secretary of the Treasury Mellon thinks it was a legitimate trans action. To be sure. For part of his millions went into that slush fund. Do we -want such men as that to make laws for us? If we do we just as well go to our state prisons and asylumns and pick out our candidates. They are in the same class. As long as the newspapers and people shut up like clams and say nothing, this corruption and J rottenness will continue, and our boasted liberties will become a by word and farce. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." Nearly two centuries ago that Irish pa triot, Patrick Henry, uttered these words: "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains or slavery? Forbid it. Almighty God! I know not what others may say, but as for me. give me liberty or give me death." A. R. FISHER 1775 Hickory St., Salem.
