That would have been considered a wild statement a few years ago. But it is coming true And there will not be acres enough in all the vast reaches of western Oregon and Washington and a small part of northern California to grow the world will demand. If you have been thinking in small terms of even the present, read the illuminating article in this issue of Col. W. B. Bartrum. And he tells only a small part of the story. He leaves qijtw the "bread and butter lines" pf American man ufacturers and he leaves out the $100,000,000 annual purch ases of flax products from foreign countries in the shape of fine linens and 100 other lines. 3fVe all need to get this view a larger view. We need to buck up on this great opportunity for building the largest single Oregon industry. VOTE AGAINST THE FISH WHEELS Vote against the fish wheels. Give the salmon a chance to go to their spawning grounds on the Columbia -To more than treble the salmon fishing industry of Oregon; to keep one or two Salem mills busy making seine twine for Oregon fishermen.

W S There is no more interesting thing than flax, the miracle plant, and its wonderful products made with the use of machinery that all but thinks and is human. S S What of the farmers? They are to have the same prices next year as this year for their product; 40 a ton for flax 36 inches or over; S38 for 30 inch flax-and over; $28 for 27 inches or over; $2? for pulled flax under 27 inch es, aftd J 20 for all cut flax. But there is to be such a selection of land, cultural methods, and rota tion, as to make all the flax grown above 36 inches. Or nearly all of of it.

Colt, vice president of the First National bank of Portland, told members of the Salem Rotary club at their noon luncheon in the Marion hotel yesterday. This waste reduced to figures would be staggering beyond comprehen sion, he said. Determination of this amount of waste was made by a commit tee appointed by Herbert Hoover in 1921, he said, and consisting of 18 or 20 prominent engineers and economists. The present week is being observed in 117 American cities as "Management Week" to call attention to the findings of this committee. Labor is responsible for only one-fourth of this huge waste, and blame for the rest must be laid at the door of management, according to Mr. Colt. Out of the three basic princi ples of business cost of raw ma terial, cost of production, and selling price only the cost of pro duction can be varied to any great extent, he said, so the principal way for a business to begin saving is to - find - ways o f cutting down this cost. Four chief causes for waste and high cost Of production, Mr. Colt stated; "are low production, inter ruptedjtproduction, restricted pro duction" either by labor or man agement and lost pro'duction. Foreign industrial competition is not a menace to American busi ness, be held, for the American factories meet foreign low wages with mass production and in creased efficiency due to the well paid, competent laborer.

But if all the peo ple of Oregon should demand that their phoes be made with Oregon linen thread, theJVIiles mill would have to enlarge. And it would be a good thing for the customers, too, for they would have better shoes. Linen thread will outlast cotton thread. In the case of towels, linen will outwear cotton four or five to te'n to one. In other articles, too, on the score of wearability and durability. That is enough for this chapter. But the campaign must be and will be carried on. SCHOOL BOOKS MEASURE CONSIDERED AT P J. MEET (Continard -from pag-e 1.) iation of $1000 on the part of the Lebanon school district, through use in the instruction of music and the efforts of Mrs. John Summers, chairman of pre-school work, for art in "the schools. Mrs. C. V. Ross, of Portland, the membership chairman, report ed that 1.700 schools in Oregon are without parent-teacher organ iation of any kind. W. J. Herwig, president of the anti-saloon league, was given op portunity to appeal to the state Parent-Teachers for cooperation against the narcotic evil. As a means to prevent this the conven tion will recommend that . the practice of placing posters near a school ground be forbidden: - Mrs. C. C. Peck of Portland, In her report for the state "Safety" committee.' made the statement that 20,000 of the 90,000 persons who are killed annually in auto mobile accidentsare children un der fifteen years old. In her work of human, conservation, Mrs. Peck recommends that parents safe guard the child by teaching him to recognize and cope with a dan gerous situation whether of one sort or another. ; J , I Mrs. "Eric Allen of Eugene, dfc-.l rector of the department or educa tion Introduced her sneakers in a most felicitous manner,, . Mrs. William Kletzer of Portland, press and publicity chairman, empha sized the influence of the news column in promoting he work of the Parent-Teachers' "association. Mrs. John Paul Jones described the manner in which she has sought to increase the subscrip tion lists for the Child Welfare Magazine, which is a most worthy publication. Mrs. B. M. Taft spoke on the literature division, and Mrs. John Summers of Lebanon on import ant pre-school opportunities. The reports of district vice presidents were also featured. Mrs. Mc Gready. Mrs. Churchill, and Mrs. Arnspeiger all speaking. Mrs. R. M. Pogue gave the report on Juvenile protection; Mrs. L. L. Baker, the report on legislation; Mrs. A. M. Chapman, the report on moving, pictures, and Miss Viola Ortschild on education for disabled children, which, if the child is ill for more than six months, is made possible, by law, in the home. In speaking concerning text book legislation, Mrs. Baker called special attention to the fact that in 5 states the books are fur nished by the state; in 13, are re quired by local authority; and in 21 local authorities are allowed to furnish texts. Mrs. Alta Lewis Stevens, in her talk on social hygiene, made the statement that in mental hygiene mothers must know their trade, for "there is no substitute for sex instruction . .". we can't keep our boys and girls so busy they will not grow into manhood and wom anhood." Mrs. M. J. Coleman gave the talk on mental hygiene; and Mrs. B. I. Elliott o physical education. Dean Kate Jameson of the Ore gon Agricultural college presided as toast-mistress at the "movie" dinner last night which was served in the dining room of the First Methodist church. The program opened with vocal solos by Claude Stevenson. The first response was given by Mrs. W. W. Gabriel, the state president, who, in summar- iing the impression she received of moving pictures in England, de fined them as American almost exclusively. "What we want for our chil dren we want- for all children," was the pace Mrs. King set for the evening's program, which the bet when she continued with the sec- ter films committee arranged, when she continued with the sec ond response. She listed the ad vantages of the National Motion Picture plan of endorsement. Rev. Charles E. Ward, pastor of the First Congregational church, gave a statement of the church's attitude toward the movies, which may be classified in three ways i. e. indifferently; suspiciously; or constructively. Rev. Mr. Ward, himself, declares the moving pic ture a tremendous source of in formation on the one hand and inspiration on the other. Miss Edith Starrett. a. senior at I the Salem High school, and Joel Berriman, a senior at Willamette university, gave their reaction to the present day movies. As spokesmen for their contempor aries, they declare'd "honest por trayals tf "honest, decent Ameri cans ana rename lniormauon concerning life" is what the youth of today is seeking. Mr. Smith, of the Pathe Films, and the western representative of the Yale University Press, spoke in behalf of the motion picture industry which seeks, first of all, to satisfy the great American pub lic. Mr. Smith announced the special appearance of, "Alaskan Adventures at the 1 Elsinove theatre which was shown as a pre view, within thre eweks after its completion, to complfment the visitors. Professor Brombaugh, profes sor of psychology at the Oregon Agricultural college, gave a high ly informative account of the psychological influence of the moving pictures; the most tre mendous influence of all being the most subtle that taking place in the subconscious where centers of motivation and the elemental stuff of mental imagery are most close ly associated. Mrs. Jean Pearcy pleased the audience with her solo numbers. Immediately after the dinner, the delegation adjourned to the Elsinore theatre for "Stella "Dal las" and "Alaskan Adventures," a special release which is probably one of the most spectacular fea tures ever introduced on the screen, showing as it does that mighty cataclysm, the breaklng up of the Yukon.
