This will bring around ?50,000 to the revolving fund. It ia a good sale -jr But sending flax from Salem to. Belfast is like "carrying coals to Newcastle." ' ; Also all the long fiber on hand has been sold to a factory at Worcester, Mass., and this is much the same thing. : Salem has two linen mills, capable' of turning into yarn and thread and twine and fine linens all the present output of the flax plant at the penitentiary 1 And should have mills here capable of using the output of twice the 2000 acres grown this year ' ' And eventually many times that acreage- .' And will have in time, without question. . The flax and linen industries had to be started, and no one has a right to complain at what has been so far done. It is a 'thousand times better than no start at all But it is only a start. It is not enough. :: The spinning machinery that is now being used to make yarn for the eastern weaving plants ought to be making yarn for weaving plants right here, and for several kinds of spec ialty plants, c i This will all come about. But the development ought to be pushed. Large capital should be enlisted. We should let the world know that we can grow and turn out flax fiber here good enough for the greatest linen mills in the world 'y -- ' -... And that we want the linen mills here. They have the ad vantage of the protective tariff, with ample safeguards under the rates of the present law in all manufactures of flax, from the yarn on up' to the fine linens. We have every favorable natural condition for m&nufacturing, from "soft" water for retting to low altitude and the proper atmosphere through out the year for spinning and weaving ' Every single advantage. ' i-, ; 1 -y - " ; We can enlist large capital, if we will goout after it and persist in the search. . j ' i ' ' We have done well . J i But we have only made a fair start. : ' ' - ;-: . i " "BE A BOOSTER" The following is the -wording on" a card being furnishec in large numbers to people who will insert them in theii envelopes ; f urnished by the Miles linen mill, Salem : "Be a booster for home products. : ; "You are interested in. the developing of the products ol the northwest. "Flax is one of the best crops that can be grown in Oregon and Washington, i " . ; "You can help by insisting when buying shoes that thej are sewed with Miles Linen Thread made from Oregon Washington Flax. "Help build Pacific Coast industries." That is a good thing , i ... The cards ought to be taken, in numbers as large as the managers of that company care to furnish them. V- "Be a booster for home products' is a good slogan. BOOSTING PRUNES 1N MONTANA v- The people of Eugene are boosting the Italian prune. They are making an ice cream buttressed with Italian prunes. They are making prune pies, and giving prizes for more way .to- prepare prunes to tickle the palate 1 i ! V fl And up in Montana they are boosting Italian prunes. Wit ness the following, brought home by a Salem man visiting there,"being an advertisement in the Great Falls Tribune ol one day last week: ' : t "Some Facts About Fresh Italian1 Prunes : '-f "The Italian prune originated in Italy oyer 100 years ago and was introduced into the United States': through England and Germany. 4 .,".. , . " " "The fresh Italian prune has become one!of the most wide ly usedof all the plum family because of its fine flavor, either .when eaten out of hand, stewed or otherwise prepared, for the table. It" is recognizable by a dark purple color, ultra- sweet flavor and Yirm, solid flesh. . ; " . , . ., "The fresh Italian prune is of a "great value in the diet. It is high in mineral content, mainly iron, and in energy value due, to the large amount of fruit sugar it contains. It posses ses mild laxative qualities which make it especially valuable in the maintenance of health. It con tans more calories per pound than most other fruits of its nature. ; . "When fully ripe, this prune is of .medium size, firm in texture and of a bluish, purple color, When cooked this coloi changes to a dark wine red and the skin yields its tart juices to mingle with the sugars of. the pulp, the chemical change tgiving the sauce a sprightly tartness, It is this tasly'quality which has gained the approval of the housewife. ! She finds it a i welcome change from the all-swcct flavors of most canned f cuits and considers ir necessary ; to round out ' the ; inter's surrly.

These factors make the prune a most economical canning fruit. As the homeAcan ners say,. 'it will can farther. It is also true that canned fresh prunes keep longer that they are not so susceptible to mold and fermentation, due to the presence of certain fruit acids.", ' ' : J ' " - K Salem ought not let Eugene and Great Falls, Montanabeat her in boosting Italian prunes - . And the fact is that every grower of prunes in Oregon ought to be organized into a 100 per cent cooperative effort for marketing Italian prunes With a small charge on every bushel and every pound . for advertising the excellent qualities of our prunes; and there is a world of room, because our, prunes are a wonderful fruit, worthy of all the words of praise that the best writers of good advertising copy can find in the dictionary. Generally speaking, the rains have so far done no great damage to hops and prunes. And if the weather, man has his hat on straight, and gives us the fair weather he prom ised last night, followed by two to four weeks of the same kind, all will be well with these major crops here; or well beyond what has been feared by the timid. Though a few more days of dain, followed by the wrong kind of weather, would have done a vast amount of damage to both crops. We had a narrw squeak. , The people of Salem put a lot of money in the two linen plants. They should be willing to put up and find enough more to put the plants over; to make them paying properties. Not good moriey after bad, but good money after good. j R urmi on momkm u i thkowom na u o rw AJcnMti OF jMGL6Mr by JOMN THE CHARACTERS Helen, an ancient lady with mod ern ideas. MeneJaos. her husband while she stayed at home. Herrrione. her daughter and ser . erest critic. - Orestes, her nephew young en ough to have ambitions. Eteonens, gate-keeper by calling; philosopher by Instinct; moral ist by observation. Adraste. handmaiden and friend to Helen; scandal, to 'most ev erybody else. Charitas, the lady next door. Damastor, a boy who strayed from the family door-step. Hermione has expressed to Helen once more her distaste over the expected visit of Pyrrhus. The jnsuing conversation, as often happens, turns 'on Helen herself ia the topic after all. Helen was an interesting subject, even to her self. Daughter, with a wit and xrill of her own. is quick to point ut to her mother the disparity tetween her own advice and her conduct. , , Now go on with the story. ' "You observed quite correctly." laid Helen, "that my advice dlf ered from my" conduct. I have een explaining my conduct. Now et's come back to the advice. Or ather, to your reasons for not lik ng Pyrrhus. You said, if I re member, that Pyrrhus 13 a brute. Just what did you mean?" "He has bloody bands, I think! I don't care to marry a murderer." "He was a terrible fighter, if 'hat's what vou mean." said Hel- 4i. "Do you prefer Orestes be-' bufp. he wara't at the war?' "Oh. no," said Hermione. 'l neaa that Pyrrhus killed Polyx- ma afterward. I know there a ws 'ome story about his being oblig ed to Offer her up" on his father's omb, for some good reason, but .hat sort' of thing belongs to an other age. as far as Orestes and I M-e concerned. .It was pain mur ler, no matter, how OU. explain it. Do -you think 'r could love aim. and give , myself up to his inns? I'd always think of that 3ther girl, and wonder whether he'd U tee to make a pious offer ing of mer i He killed Priam, too. the say at the last s moment. hen the desperate old man tried ;o fight. A feeble dotard, who wouldn't have harmed a child. Pyrrhus is a brute, and I rather think his father was too. Arhillies Uked to brain people, or cut them to pieces. Didn't he kill a girl once -the Amazon? Ran his spear right through her!" - "I've often thought of these killings." said Helen, - "and with much the same, horror as you ex press, but though there's evident ly a good deal ;of" wrong In lt all, t' hard to know twjit is; right. You say1 you cant bear to think of sacrificing a girl, as w slay ani mals on the altar?" ; -r T certainly can't ' . ' I, nnt you don't object to sacri ficing the animals?' -Why should I It's a cere mony that's what they're for!" "I dare say there are people." ld Helen, "who shudder at the houghs of drawing the knife irroH , the throat of ' the poor heep. Our , reliK?on is .rafhr blopdyJTaByway. don't you think?" 1 ."I flee you r") argument." r said! Ifermidne. "you want uje to-sai 'hat the . sacrifices aren't bloody, and then you'll ay that Pyrrhus td from a religions motive, and thrrefore, he Isn't brutal: WeU. 1 really think; our, altars are bar barous we should have outgrown tnem long "ago as , we have out grown human criftces." v "Many people; feehthafWaj." i a!J ile'lelf,"iut- if - kill" the F RV eRStGHO JRai CsSsssl UsSsss 13 sheep for food, you have no pt-ej udice against eating them, I know." -How foolish, mother! Of course we eat' meat. Why shouldn't we?" "The sheep might have an ar gument against it," said Helen, "but I. have none. I merely won dered at what point you are at ea: e in the presence of what you call murder. I see. The animal slaughtered for religious purpos es has your pity, but the one serv ed up on your table fulfills its des tiny as something for you to eat." 'I can't follow you when you are facetious. What am I to un derstand? Do you approve of hum an sacrifices? Do you think it was right to kill those two girls?" "I wouldn't have killed them myself," said Helen, ?'yet in war men and women are sacrificed, in quite a religious sense, to the dH vine ends people think the war -is serving. Whether.it is good or bad for them to be sacrificed. 1 don't know. But few object. If it is right to sacrifice people in war.' I don't know what argument you could make against, the al tars. If you regret the sacrifice of those girls, you are regretting merely that they didn't exist for a few'more years. You don't know what those extra years would have been like. IX they were to be un eventful I mean. Inwardly sa lt they were to be an unreal. Un important number ol breaths drawn, and meals eaten, and nights slept awav. without any sens e of living, then - perhaps was better for them to crowd many deep and strong emotions In to a few hours. Don't "think I'm aKa,nt your humane tendencies Hermione; I'm merely comparing Ethe two girls, you spoke of. sac rificed barbarously as they were with myself, who have missed the excitements and the enthusiasms of life, as I just told you." "You don't mean," said Hermfi- one, "you' Wish Menelaos had kilU ed you -. "I was disappointed," said Hel en. "No., I 'didn't, want to die, but I. did hope'to'know at least the. terrors of life and then your father became humane, as yoa perhaps think, and I knew there was nothing for it but years even les3 eventful than before, old age creeping up on our dull hearts-t unlejs I could find" a vital happi ness In guiding you ttr-a real Iife.: If you had my passion for livlngi all t'Je greater because It has been thwarted, you'd, take ; Pyrrhus. reckless -and brutal as he seems; instead of that cautious and safe cousin of: yours." . V"Vou would, but I wouldn'4, and; I . won't." said . Hermione. "It rn't simply the ; killing. He has taken women home as slaves, and he. has the i old-fashioned Idea , of a hrro's rights over the women he captures. They ay Agamem non, brought Cassandra Jiome. and you told me yourself you feared Clytcmnestra wtfuld be Jealous, of course sbo would, though I'm sure Cassandra means nothing to nw Uncle Orestes Is sup she doesn't But Pyrrhus Is living with Andro mache. -Hector's widow, and Prob ably; with the other women he ac quired at Troy, That's the knd of hro he Is. and I say ; he's i a brute and out or date.

Sd would any woman' who Is in love-and men feel the same way about women. ;v Love is very pro prietary. But yougo a step fur ther as I've noticed In 'others of your generation, and yon want your man never to have cared for any one else. I dare say Orestes wouldn't feel sure of a wife who had ;prev:ou$Iy lost her heart to another; man. Now.1- that'a , all nOntense. If' the world "is to act on that philosophy, there's misery ia btore for lovers all sorts of fcyprocrisy, and dark secrets, and, Ekeletons in the closet. It's, your notion of destined mates again, but ja; a sillier form.-Of course, whef two people love each other its;,safer to say. while they love the. rest "of the race, for hem', will .Bot exist; Jn that sens& you ought to have your lover quite to yourself. I should hate to see you married to Pyrrhus unless vou loved him passionately, and he you- But let me tell you this, Hermione the man who can make a woman most happy ia the one who could love many women, who has evn lived with', several "f them, perhaps as Pyrrhus has done, and who at last devotes all his love to her alone. By your theory, tbte best husband ought to be the man who couldn't possibly ue iuvea Dpiore. Your theory is wrong. That kind of a man, you'll find, quite frequently Is in capable of loving anybody very much. . . .1 suppose you think this wisdom of mine immoral." "IJdo," said Hermione.
