Revelations 22:1-2. l h In every way; the United States ought to encourage sugar production in ihis country and in our insular possessions, like the Philippines,-Hawaii and Porto Rico. That is what Great Britain is doing. Our country ought to grow and manufac ture all of its sugar f Whereas we are using over 6,000,000 tons annually and growing only about 1,000,000 tons of beet sugar, and about the same amount of cane sugar in all our possessions And importing the 4,000,000 tons balance, nearly all of it from Cuba. . L If the United States . government would give half the encouragement that the British parliament gives to beet sugar growing in England, our producers would very soon supply all our needs " in this line- And the Willamette valley would have a hundred beet sugar factories- J And the .sugar industry, directly and through indirect benefits, would render the Willamette valley the most pros perous section in the whole; wide wirld. LINEN MILL OPERATING CAPITAL The Oregon Linen Mills, Inc., needs operating capital to jkeep the machinery going and get the output onto the mar kets The need haying arisen through the failure of Portland people to take their promised proportion of stock, and of some Portland and Salem subscribers, for various reasons, not being ble to pay or continue payment on their subscriptions The hiatus being about.$100,000. This amount, if it were in hand, or immediately in sight, ould serve for the operating capital needed. So, on Thursday next, at 10 o'clock, at the company's office t the Dlant here, there is to be a meetincr of the stockholders to consider ways to provide the working capital, j Every consideration of civic pride and every material in terest, here and throughout the whole state, and more espe tially in the Willamette valley, calls for the securing of this Working capital. i And no doubt it will be provided. The first batch of pleaching of the linen cloth was put through yesterday. More 3 to follow regularly, and this will allow of the finishing and packing for the markets, which are ready to take the output if the mill. , ? Very soon, with the working capital provided, the mill will 3 a going concern, with receipts to match the costs, and, in due time, and likely in a very short time, more than matching them, h - - This is the parent mill, that will help supply the raw materials (the yarns) for specialty mills that are coming, along perhaps with the help of the Miles linen mill. So the stage is all set for real development in our linen industry, that is bound to become our major industry in this etate Only requiring ready money to pay the help and the other lexpenses incidental to making and marketing the product. The Oregon state penitentiary management is planning on making the sacks for the agricultural lime. A considerable saving may be realized in this way. There are other econ omies, in various lines, that are being planned. It is very plain to the men who have that institution in charge, includ ing the membersof the board of controlthat the chances for making the penitentiary "self supporting through its indus tries are very .good- requiring only time and good manage ment to be worked out. And perhaps not a very long time, either. And in doing this, the Oregon institution will in the same process become a model prison, standing among the best in the world in all respects. It is likely that, some day, the materials for making the lime sacks will be grown and manufactured here. At first, the materials will have to be bought in the east. FLOOD HITS CANE GROWERS HARD Pekin is about to be taken by the Cantonese forces coming from the south which will mean the domination of the Chinese empire by the leaders who profess to believe in the doctrines of Sun Yat Sen, the "George Washington of China," the first president of the Chinese republic after the overthrow of the imperial dynasty, with principles following largely those of the United States. If the leaders can be brought into unselfish cooperation, there will shortly be a strong and stable government in China, and progress such as that country has not had in. its long history. This is almost too much to expect, and few stranger things have happened. But there is leadership in China capable of such results, and this is an age of progress. So let us -hope for the best. A stabil ized and progressive China will mean more for world peace than almost any other one thing perhaps more than any other one thing. o POLAGOES BACK TO PICTURES - - - , - - s , v - : :-: :--::-..:: :;-t j:--' V ' -y-- .v.-.-.- - .v.-1 -.-.v. :.-.::: 1 f - T v' " f - ' , ... ,.. ....... i hi i - 1 Pbla Negri, how Princess Serge MGlvani, pictured above with her husband, returning fro mher honeymoon, is resuming her motion pic ture work at Hollywood, CaJ. but she says she'll retire in a few years; Among those who went are E.

If the Louis iana cane sugar industry bad nothing but floods to contend jwith, the planters would be not much worse off and probably 'Ho more discouraged than the growers of cotton and corn, jxnany of whom are returning courageously to their interrupt ed tasks: as then: lands become accessible for cultivation. For Jthe majority of the cane sugar planters, however, the latest catastrophe which has visited them is but one of a cumulative euccession of troubles. I ; Thi Louisiana cane grower is falling behind rapidly in the race to supply even a fractional percentage of the sugar heeds of the United States. High costs of production, pests whose depredations are expensive, and the pull of the alternative uses to which the sugar growing lands can be profitably put, have all been causes contributing to restriction of the cane prop of Louisiana. Louisiana had 128,000 acres of land in sugar cane before the flood. After four years of effort, the planters of that state had succeeded in building up a supply of the P. O. J. canes to replace their old varieties,; which had deteriorated through mosaic disease ' almost to the vanishing point. They had 23,000 -acres iV the P. , 0, J. varieties, and J unfortunately nearly all; the lands in these-disease-resisting Anes were in the path of the flOodAi; f- fvi '' ".J'i. . : The disaster is so great that bankers of that section can not handle the rehabilitation of the industry- . t . . And the United States government roust intervene if cane sugar making is to soon if ever, resume normal proportions in that state H--?-' . And such aid. is to7 be asked for, and ought; to be granted. There will be no grinding in Louisiana this year excepting at a very few. isolated f acteries. But there is a plentiful supply of the P. O. J. canes in Porto Rico, and the planters of Louis iana ought to be aided in'getting them. , . j ; i The :University of "Louisiana has experimented with sugar beet growing in' that state, and secured some fair results, though not favorable ones compared with the best beet sugar districts in other states." The sucrose (sugar) content was around 10 per cent, whereas the Salem district has produced beets with as high as 25 per cent sugar content, and would fcasily show an average of is, per cent or nigner. ; Louisiana has been producing about 125,000 tons of cane tuirar annually the past few years; The same acreage might be made to yield a much larger tonnage, with the right varie ties and cultural practices., . -r': : .-"" f. -vt necessary operating capital we will be able to keep the mill work ing strong to fill orders that are available and while profit may not be in sight at once there i3 no doubt the . mills will become a profitable investment as time goes on." Dl manner, and profits provided for every branch. . "o The Salem Y free employment bureau is constantly receiving let ters from every section of the country, from men and women seeking work. Sim PhiUips, in charge, does not encourage these people in his replies. .It is . his idea that this section needs people with capital and vision and skill, rather than those merely seeking for work.

When a person is very courte ous, thanking you for any trifling service arid begging your pardon for. -any Inconvenience he may cause you,, do you put him down as . a hypocrite who is probably concealing .meanness and weak ness tinder a smooth exterior, or do you consider him a most.agree able member of this great human family and decide that he will get on in life? The question is raised by a let ter which came to this desk re cently from one who evidently fears that the Sir Walter Ral- eighs will soon be passe. "Dear Madam: A group of young people recently had a dis cussion concerning courtesy. Some thought the more cour teous you were the better you got al99g,. both socially and in busi- ness.i and courteous actions were the result not only of good breed ing but good feeling. Others as serted tbt a person who made a point of always being polite was usually a hypocrite trying to make a good impression for his own ends, or was concealing an in feriority complex derived from fear. "That In order to succeed it was necessary to push more o less rough-shod over others. Some of the girls preferred the 'cave man type to the Sir Walter Ral eighs and some of the boys liked best the girls who wanted to be treated as much like men as possible-: the independent, pushing type. "What do you think about it? Does politeness ever denote a weak truckling? And are people becoming less courteous?. Will the customs that have been practiced tor generations die out so it will be each man (or woman) tor him self? Viola." O O " Well, Viola, I wouldn't worry about It if I were you. Courtesy is a pretty old established custom, you know. Centuries before Christ, Confucius said: ' -: "When out of doors behave as though you were entertaining a distinguished - guest;. . . . what you would not wish done to your self, do not unto others. Then in public as in private life you will excite no ill will." : . . And' it is surprising what a lit tie courtesy and considerate treat ment - Will ? accomplish. Haven t yon had the experience ot being perfectly- infuriated about some wrong done to you and hurrying te the person or institution thai has wronged you, boiling with in dignatlon and ready to pour it out on the, first person you met. And then you were received with so much sympathy and courtesy that your anger vanished and the calm. polite person simply wound , you around bis or her finger and when you left them' you were thanking ; T IS AT SILVERTON H Minnie Albright Wins Vale . dictorian Honors; Melvin Bell Second SILVERTON, Ore., June 3. (Special) A crowded house greeted the seniors Thursday even ing at the Eugene Field auditor- i ium when they gathered to receive their diplomas.

And as the girl who yearns for a cave man, what she really ad mires is strength whether of body dr spirit. And her first ex- uerience with a real "brute" would convince her that she did not ad mire that type at alL ' And what the man likes about" the ' "pal type of girr is her sense of fair does not expect hlna to do it all, but wants to do her share as a real comrade, not a "clinging vine. Many of the minor customs of politeness, as heretofore practiced, will doubtless pass away, but a new comradeship and understand ing which will be the basis of more real courtesy will survive.
