SALEM WILL BE
V f, Live stock breeding has always gone and always will go
Jwith the best farming methods! "This valley is a live stock
valley;, said one of our most forward looking men recently.
.He is right. It is potentially so. .
. - .Mixed farming and gardening make for the most certain
methods. - Mixed farming and gardening make for the most
certain4and even periods of prosperity over long stretches of
time.; This kind of farming keeps up and improves the fertility-of
the soil. ,It means proper . rotations. It means the
" putting back of the elements of the soil of which they are
.exhausted by the crops taken off. It means the periodical
growing of legumes, which' extract fertility from' the air and
fix it in the earth for the use of future crops it means the
production on the farms of the best fertilizers, at he lowest
cost. It means liming the soils.
The Salem district should raise still more cattle and
hogs and sheep and goats and good horses and poultry.
.? . Ours is potentially the greatest dairying country in the
.world; we produce the best cows in the world; and "baby
beef and other beef should go along with dairying, and the
cow is the wet nurse of ttoe hog and the poultry ; and the en-
- silage that is needed for the dairy stock is good for all the
rest of the live stock, as is most of the other feed needed in
the dairy
' , And this all. goes for soil fertility and renovation. The
most productive soils in the world have been the longest un
der continuous' cultivation ; and the same possibilities are
found here in tbe Salem district, with the up to date handling
,of live stock along with the other. uses of the soil.
..Salem's packing plant, owned and operated by the Val
ley Packing company, a strictly home concern, has a capacity
- of 1000 hogs -a week, besides 250 to. 300 sheep cattle and
-ireal. This1 concern pays all the time the highest prices for
hogs in the United States, considering the expense of getting
J hogs from'this district to other markets.
iTlf, The fact that the producers of the Salem district re
ceive the best prices in the country for their hogs accounts
in part for the fact that Marion is the leading hog county in
:Oregdn. Butrthereis room for vast expansion yet; as credit
able as has been the growth in recent years.
M '1 -There should, be more pig clubs, lamb clubs and calf
- tclubs organized in the Salem district; more and more of them
attd the livQ stock industry should be pushed in every pos
sible way.' It will mean the building up here of the most uni
formly prosperous and contented people in the wide world.
; "Vye" are doing very well in the Salem district in expand
ing! and improving the live stock industry. We have the
greatest, corn .country in the Pacific northwest, in Marion
county, withPplk a close second, and all the adjoining val
Jey counties getting to the front. We are fast becoming an
alfalfa district Grimm alfalfa.
1 V i The Salem district will prosper greatest and grow most
rapidly1 and solidly, from the greatest diversity and the high
lit intensifying of agriculture; producing on the land the
fcrops and breeding along the lines best adapted to our natural
'Conditions -following the lines of least resistance
'.; T l Employing irrigation wherever needed
i if Doing what we can do best or at greatest profit; taking
advantage of . the fact that this is the land of diversity and
the country of opportunity
h.r r And live stock goes as the natural complement of this
Kind of agriculture.
DRYING SUGAR BEET TOPS

I' Many reaaers 01 rne statesman know the indirect ben
m tT m HM Ma.
efits of the sugar beet industry
r 'Know they make up a long list
Know there is no other one industry that would bring
as great benefits to the Salem district and the whole Willam
ette valley.
They. know the beet pulp and molasses at the factories
are used for stock feed, and especially for feeding dairy cows,
and the drying of the pulp is now common, so that it may
be and is shipped long distances.
... Now the Germans, who first drieL pulp, are drying the
tops on a large scale. Tne tops
'district in jWashington are-i worth about twice as much for
ccjw feed as was originally estimated. The drying of the tops
makea this; f $ed available the year through. The tops are
also very generally, used in silos in many districts j
' But the Germans find the dried tops valuable for feed
ing other stock" besides dairy cows. They feed the dried tops
tq work horses. A German authority, after numerous tests,
finds that in feeding work horses a ration of 7 to 8 pounds of
ats i and 8rpounds to 10 pounlis of dried beet tops will re
place 15 pounds of shelled, oats. At the Zeitz factory in
Geiroaiij heav. work -horses have been kept year in and
year out on a ration of 5 pounds oats, 5 pounds winter bar
ley, and 5 pounds dry beet tops. It is usual in Germany to
allow &J3 acres on which, to grow oats for each work horse ; by
feeding dry beet tops "obtained from two-thirds of an acre
of beets the oat acreage can be cut in half, and the space
thus saved devoted to more beets or to other crops.

extended, in case the Salem business men show their, appre
ciation. The edition is put out with a slight increase in ad
vertising rates; but the additional distribution will, for the
advertisers . who have attractive of ferings, make the cost
insignificant: With the installation of the new press which
is on the way and due to arrive about Sept. 9, the facilities
of this office will be adequate to easily cover the whole trade
territory. The new press will print 24 pages, partly in colors,
at the rate of 18,000 an hour, and 12 pages, with colors, at
the speed of 30,000 an hour.
Note the' special bargain subscription offer in this Thurs
day weekly edition of The Statesman. The weekly edition
is to be pushed, especially in the Salem trading district, with
the idea of extending and intensifying this trade territory.
There are to be new campaigns for extending irrigation
in the Salem district and throughout the valley. . The present
whole-of the Willamette valley is to become an irrigation
district, and then every industry on the land and in the
cities and towns will iflourish like a green bay tree. k

calls qn her next-door neighbor,
Charitas. Real "news" is scarce
it: Sparta and Charitas is thrilled
at the prospect of getting Helen's
story first-hand.
Now go on with the story.
Chapter V.
"How good of you, Helen, to re
turn my call so promptly," said
Charitas. "Just as soon as I heard
of your unexpected return, I went
.right over to your bouse. There's
so much I want to hear. The other
sJde of the garden is shaded we'll
go over. Helen, your servant can
wait outside with the sun-shade
you won't need it."
"She may stay with me," said
Helen. "Adraste and I get on well
together."
"Oh, Helen, how beautiful she
is! . What an anisfzing person you
are, to keep a beautiful girl like
that in the house."
"I have no prejudice against
beauty," said Helen.
"Well, perhaps your husband
isn't susceptible, and you haven't
a son to worry you. My boy Da
mastor ybu don't remember him,
of course is handsome as Apollo,
and he loves everything beautiful.
It's terrible. I've tried to keep his
mind occupied, and there are not
many occasions in Sparta.".
"You're afraid," said Helen,
"that if he saw a beautiful girl
he'd fall in love with her?"
"Well, you know what I mean,"
said Charitas. "I want him to be a
credit to his bringing up. and fall
in love at the right time with the
right girl. You and I know beau
ty often leads to entanglements
wth the inexperienced."
"It often leads to love, I be
lieve," said Helen, "and In the
presence of great beauty all men
seem to be inexperienced. There
isn't enough of it. 'I suppose, to
ge tused to. You wish your boy
to be respectable- fall In love
with a plain woman? Or entirely
conventional marry one he does
n't love at all?"
"How cynical it has made you."
"It Isn't cynical It's merely
honest," said Helen. "You know
as well as I that it's quite proper
to marry some one yon respect but
don't love. Society never will os
tracize you for it. And you know
U's getting into the realm of ro
mance when you really. lose your
heart to your mate, even though
he or she isn't beautiful. That's
more than respectable It's admir
able. Something like that, I un
derstand, you i dream of for your
boy."
"That doesn't quite .cover : my
point of Tiew," said Caritas. .
"No, it doesn't quite cover mine,
either," Mid Helen. "I ought to
add that those two formulas, lorel
without beauty and marriage
without love, though they are re
spectable and . conventional, ' are
also Terr dangerous. ; Rare as
beauty Is. you can't always prevent
It from coming your way, and it
you see it yon must love It." t
. . I don't know that you must,;
said Charitas; "some ot ns have
previous obligations." ' f " , I
"It you've never given yourself
to "beauty, said Helen, "there are
no previous obligations.
"Then yon wouldn't try to stop
a boy from falling In love with the
first beautiful girl he sees? T S
!I'd try to prerent Um from
falling ? in lore with ; any ' other,
said Helen, "and when the beauti
ful girl arrives It's his duty to love
f'tfSr-rtt'f. r4??rill,7:'nywai'.
wtetfcer cr'not he taJ contracted
onstar;o
obligations with the respectauie
homely, and I'd rather have him
free and sincere. The way you are
going at it, Charitas, you will
make your, boy ashamed to love
beauty, and he'll pursue it in some
treacherous, cowardly fashion.
Your ambition to keep him respec
table may prevent him from being
moral."
"Would you mind Adraste's
waiting at the other end of the
garden?" said Charitas. "There
are one or two things I'd like to
whisper to you."
"Adraste will wait at the end of
the garden," said Helen. "But now
she's gone, I must say, Charitas, I
see no point in whispering. If it's
unmentionable, don't let's say it."
"Helen, you oughtn't to sajp such
things before the girl and with
reference to my son; you'll put
ideas iuto her head."
"Dear Charitas, I mentioned
your son only because you did,
and I wished him a happy ' fate.
You, it seems to me. expressed
distrfst of him, and before . the girl.
I she hasn't lost her heart to your
description. You really ought to
send him over to our house some
day Soon, to prove he's more of a
man than you've tried to make
him. I'm curious to see the boy."
"He's been there several' times
recently, to see Hermione," said
Charitas. "I couldn't say it before
your servant, but.I'd be well satis
fied if he cares for Hermione. No
one could breathe a word against
her."
"Does she happen' to be interest
ed in Damastor?" said Helen. "Her
father always wanted her to marry
her cousin Orestes."
"She never mentioned Orestes
to me." said Charitas. "nor my
Fon either. I must say. Come to
think of it, she's talked chiefly
about you. She explained it all,
and I must say she took a weight
off my mind."
"What did she explain? What
was on jrour mind?"
"It seems silly to be telling" you,
Helen I'd rather have you tell me
what happened. But you know, we
thought you Just ran away with
Paris, until Hermione explained
that he took you against your will,
and robbed Menelaos of some fur
niture and altogether showed him
self for what he was a low char
acter." i
"Charitas, you really didn't be
lieve Mermione?" said Helen.
"Certainly I did! It was entire
ly plausible, and for your sake I
wanted to believe It."
"Well, then, let me correct your
error," said Helen. "I loved Paris
dearly. He never would have tak
en me away if I hadn't wanted to
go. And he didn't steal the furni
ture. Some pieces" did disappear.
I understand. In the confusion, but
they must be here somewhere in
Sparta; Paris took nothing to
Troy Except me."
"Oh. Helen, don't tell me thati"
said Charitas. "I can't believe H
as I look at you. Yon look so--so
innocent! And for you to con
tradict the creditable story your
self." ' !
"Thank you, dear Charitas, for
saying I look Innocent. I am in
nocent. That isr of everything ex
cept love. Now if I allowed you
to believe that shabby story I
should be shirking the blame for
all the wretchedness at Troy. To
deny it would be to deny myself4
to exist only In falsehood."--
t "For goodness' sake Heteni"
said Charitas, "I'll go mad with
your . reasoning;. You want the
world to know yod caused the
wretchedness at Troy, and . you
want us to think .you're as lnno-
cent as you look. What's yoir
idea of innocence?"
"Here is my account of my in
nocence," said Helen. "I am used
to having; men fall in love with
me, but t never wanted them to,
and I never flirted with a man In
my life. 'Against my will I fell in
love with Paris. It just happened
to me. But I could be sincere

Lawsuit for 83 Centimes
Still on After Six Years
PARIS (AP) An 83-centime
lawsuit has been going on nearly
six years in France and the end
is not yet in sfght. This sum is
about 3 cents. 1
MUUpns of francs have been
spen, courts have been! occupied
for weeks at a time and the 'best
lawyers have argued on both sides.
Marcel Boyer, a well-known
"Chansonnier," conducting a ,sort
of literary cabaret n the Latin
Quarter, i started the judicial row
by refusing to pay a disputed extra
tax on two tickets he gave to an
old war comrad. Boyer, seeing
the soldier at his box -office.
promptly passed him in, handing
four -francs to the cashier as the
government tax on reduced-price.
tickets. The government inspect
cr demanded 83 centimes more be
cause, he said, Boyer did not go
through the formality of buying
the low-priced tickets from the
box office.
Decisions of all sorts have been
handed down, some courts holding
one way and some another but
always leaving unsettled some
technicality that caused new
trials. These rehearings then
went to other jurisdictions. The
case has traveled pretty well over
central France since It started,
