First John 3:16-17. y ' NOT A PAID ITEM This is not a paid itemv The company, owning the Salem water works knows nothing about it- j - It is printed in performance of a public duty. There was an item in a newspaper yesterday telling of the finding of the body of an insane patient at the Colony farm, operated by the state; the body having evidently floated 'aWnjth'e river several miles and "lodged against a log near : the 'north tank' of the Willamette river about half a mile above the water intake for the city supply." The reporter probably did not intend it, but the item was calculated to giyela'sinking feeling in the stomach of a person using Salem watet and not being acquainted with the facts. THe fact is, there is no "water intake" from the Willamette river for Salem's city water supply. Nor does the item say there is; but it infers it. The "water intake" for the Salem water supply does not come from the, stream of the river. It comes from wells sunk deep into the sand bar on Minto's island, hundreds of feet away from the river's bank during the low water period, and filtered by many feet of sand and gravel even during the high water periods of the rainy season. So there is no contamination from the river's stream. The city supply comes from. sources that are as pure as spring water. ; It may be added that in addition to this,, all water entering the city mains is treated with the chlorination process, rendering it immune from all disease germs, like those of typhoid, etc. In Ithis respect, it is more pure than untreated Bull Run water." Seattle, and other cities, getting water from supposedly pure mountain sources, use the chlorine treat ment, because in no other way can it be rendered absolutely safe from contamination at the source, from 'dead birds, wild an1 imals, etc.r etc ' - ' The reader may justly conclude that there is a good deal of? bink about so-called pure mountain water, in these days when medical science is so much more particular than it used to be. , SALEM FULL The Portland Journal of last night said: 2 ...... . , - , "We paid! a commonwealth's tribute to Lindy. By his feat and by his modest, poised behavior, he won the right to it. He received a" hero's meed and we honored ourselves by be stowing it. It's a good thing to honor heroes both sung and unsung. Two brothers in a poor home are blind One, now ready for college, wants to educate himself for the ministry or for a professorship. 'A Portlander heard of the case. He offered to contribute ?150 of the $650 a year for four years to fiend him through the. Universityof Oregon. Two Portland brothers also heard of the caseT and they offered another $150 V year. "Aren't theS'Smeri unsung heroes? An educa tion if he could have1 it; would -probably enable this blind lad todorn a pulpit or grace a class room.

Lindbergh, had netted him $95?OO0Jn royalties up to last week, with sales of over 190,000 copies, concludes that all merican readers are not seeking the salacious 1 l! That the public will buy a good clean. story --The book being still in great demand. . The same writer says "We" is as clean as a hound's tooth ; as clean nterature as the author ia clean living; as carefree as "Huckleberry Finn" and as filled with romance as Colonel Lawrence's book on. the Arabian desert fighting during the World war. ' j This is complimentary to the decency, of the great masy of the American people. . "It requires a Visit to 56,000 clover blossoms .for honey bee to make a pound of honey," says & paragrapher in an exchange. ' They would have to be white clover blossoms, too, or other than those of red clover. The "bill" of the honeybee is too short to get the honejt from red clover, in ordinary seasons in seasons when the aphis does not work on tha red clover blossoms and eat away the obstructions. "The Reverend Garnett Gunier, 21 years old, is the first woman minister to perform a marriage ceremony in Ar kansas," says an exchange. TW3 PiaBVATHS E.DFG OP MGE-eiM OF "If I may put it another way," said Helen, "I would suggest that we ask Hermione to send Orestes here at once. There ought to be no possibility of another misun derstanding in this home, and the wise way. I think, would be for you to talk it out with Orestes now." "I won't permit him to enter Uie house and naturally I won't talk with him," said Memelaos. "Then would you mind if I talked with him? It was my sister he killed, ind if anyone here is to blame for the death of Pyrrhus, it is I, who sugested bis coming. "I don't see what there is to say to him Helen. He'll probably take 'the occasion to lecture you on your behavior, or he'll point out where I have done wrong." "He may ask me why you didn't help him avenge his father." said Helen. "If he does. 111 explain that I kept you home. If he tells me "that I have made mistakes, I'll admit it. and fill in any- gaps in bis information" about my past life. Orestes has no terrors for me, and I'm very eager to meet him. How soon can you get him here. Hermione?" "Not here. Helen !'.' said Mene laos. x "The whole point would be lost If I met him anywhere else, and it would hardly be proper for me to be- meeting himout of my own house, and away from your protec tion,' Menelaos. How soon do you think Hermione?" "I prefer not to have him come, since father objects." "Quite right." said Helen, "but your father has withdrawn his objection." "I didn't know that I did." "I beg your pardon! I thought you agreed it was more discreet for me to see him here than alone and away from the house," "Oh. yes, in that eense." said Slenelaos, "Well, then, how soon do you think, Hermione?" "I don't want him to come, mo ther. I'm not sure what you would do to him." .'V "My dear child, he's .entirely safe. My word of honor, 'nothing will happen to him here." "I don't know what you would cay to him. and I don't want bim to see you," said Hermione. "He's perfectly happy now or would be If it were not for his private mis fortunes." ' "You'd be wise to send him.- said Menelaos. "It will come to the same thing in the end. Your moth er wants to see him. I assure you I shan't let him stay long, and we shan't do him any harm." 'i ." Let me know when he's corn Ink." said Eteoneus, "and I'll tell the new gate-keeper to turn his back and pretend not to -notice him. You couldn't give a man like that a formal hospitality." . "What's this about a new gate keeper?", said Heln" : V J "Eteoneus, J? leaving us, said Menelaos. i - - "Couldn't you Wtay with usEt eoneus?"" ald Helen: You are my oldest friends here you .open ed the "door of this house when I entered as avbrlde." 'And when you returned from Troy," said Eteoneus.; "There's nothing- more I ran do for you, and it's time I left." v ; ' .. ! Yoa musn't ' leave-i-weirhave to talk it over," said Helen. 'Your decision doesn't seem final to me. "You'll stay, all -right," ., said Menelaos. "I forsee the. end. ' "My decision Is quite final. Hel en, and I'd rather not discuss it at all." - - s , . '"I'm sorry," said Helen.; "but yon know best. You will come In to say good-bye to me before you go, won't you?" i. ; :j "I certainly will." said Etepne us. "That does for -youV old5 mant" said Menelaos. "And you're going to end Orestes ii" tomorrow, Is really not wanted here, and fine speeches won't alter the fact." "Go ahead, then, and leave!" said Menelaos. "Why are yon ban ging 'round to tell us, once in so often, you don't approve of us?" "Menelaos! Menelaos!" said Helen. "I don't want Hermione to go until she has promised to send her husband to see us. If she will do that, I rather think we can some day understand one another again all of us. If Hermione loves Orestes so desperately, there must be good in him I knew noth ing about. I should like to admit my error, If it is one; I'd like to see for myself." "He is a splendid man you couldn't help admiring him. If you knew what he really Is. The trouble with you and father was that you didn't know him. and you didn't want to." "Of course we wanted to!" said Menelaos. "We told you to invite him for a visit, but you couldn't find him. It wasn't our fault that you didn't know where he was!" "It wasn't Hermionet's fault either." said Helen. "The fact la as you said, daughter we don't know Orestes. Will you ask him to come tomorrow?" "I'll give him the invitation." said Hermione. "I never know what he has to do.". . CHAPTER TT "It was good of you to come. Orestes." said Helen. "I'd like to say. but I can't, that I'm' glad to come." said Orestes, You have every reason to hate me; I dreaded to meet you." "I don't hate you." said Helen, "and on your part I hope there Is no occasion for dread. I should like to be friends with my daugh ter's husband: ghat's the whol reason why I asked you to come." "You didn't want me to marry Hermione," said Orestes. "I did not." "You wanted her to marry pyr rhus." "I did." "Then I'm not convinced of thi sudden friendship." "My dear Orestes... I always knew r should be on good terms with my son-in-law, when once he was selected. The friendship .isn't sudden-2-tbe marriage 'was.'' "I feel like a hypocrite to ac cept your hospitality." said Ores tes. "I haven't considered you a friend." "How could you know I was But I am and may I count you one of my friends?" "You can't Very well. I recent ly killed your sister." ; "I've heard that you did." ' "And more recently I killed your guest. Pyrrhus."
