"ROOT OF PROSPEROUS AGRICULTURE" The harvesting of beets in the Rocky mountain region is on in full blast nowv and an idea of what this means is given by-a Denver dispatch telling of the operations of a single companyr the largest in the industry of the United States, the Great Western Sugar company, with 21 factories operat ing this year With 301,000 acres in beets Providing jobs for 57,000 hands ; The initial payments to growers to be $32,000,000 Producing 10,000,000 hundred pound bags of sugar The factories to have an average run of 114 days, com pleting their campaigns around January 12th Burning 550,000 tons of slack coal; using extra cars on H the railroads to. handle the crop, besides thousands of trucks and wagons. The Utah-Idaho Sugar company operating 11 factories this year, comes next, and there are various other companies throughout the country, with a total of some 110 factories. In the regions where there are sugar factories, they are calling the sugar beet the "root of prosperous agriculture." It paid for his home says a Black Hills farmer. It is a mort gage lifter, says another. It builds up the country, says an other. The most profitable crop grown, with proper use of by-products, says another. A safety crop, says another. i There are thousands of acres of land in the Salem district, and throughout the Willamette valley, that will, produce more tons of beets to the acre than the average throughout the United States, and with a higher than average sugar content Enough such, land to supply the raw materials for many factories. : And there is no other thing that will do as much in bring ing about the profitable use of the idle and slacker acres of this Valley; no other thing that will do as much in boosting the dairying and live stock industries here And all the industries on the land t And in bringing solid and steady and enduring growth. and prosperity to our cities and towns. Eventually we will have factories why not now? 'ALL DRESSED UP" The Salvation Army drive for a new building in Salem is "all dressed up and no where to go" That is, the campaign has been marked out, with generals and colonels and captains and workers, all assigned to trades and lines of business sections All set for a quick finish But the work does not start. It halts. It lacks driving i force. It lacks the enthusiasm that would have put it over in a:jiffy . If the Salvation Army is to have a new home in Salem, there must be some way to get the workers to work ; to get :the organized machinery of the campaign to operating. I The work of the Salvation Army here justifies the effort for a new home with better and larger equipment for the doing of the useful things usually done by that public service agency- Things that are left to it; that are in the particular field that organizations covers. How shall the workers be put to work? Who has a solution for the galvanizing of them into ac tivity that will bring results; that will wind up the task that has been undertaken, and quickly ? It can be done, if enough 'workers will work. The money needed could all be secured in I small amounts, if enough of the workers would get busy and stay on the job a few days. Agreat many people throughout the Willamette valley are trying out the" growing of figs." A goodly number in Silver tton and Salem and the surrounding country There is an ex ''inhibit in the northeast end of the new pavilion at the state fair, by. the Willamette Fig Gardens, Inc., of Portland, tha ! ought to interest a great many of our people.

In rain his wife expected him, and Telemachus, his young son, watching the family fortune as it dwindled, wondered if he were the head of the house, and If he ought to do something about it. The suiton were asking Penelope to marry them, on the assumption that Odysseus was dead or ought to be, and they were advancing their plea for her hand by eco nomic pressure.' living on her bounty till she should make np her mind. Helen" had her suitors at the beginning of her life, Penelope at the end, when she waa no long er young, and her beauty had nev er been more than, as OreRtea would say, a matter of opinion. This fact has led some wise men to suppose that Penelope's story, as we now have it, by some accident got told backward. However that may be, the question remains why the suitors-wanted to marry her, anyway. For the property, Tele machus thought; and to his Inex perienced eyes it seemed vast! wealth. But Ithaca was a rocky bat-sen place. "The first time he traveled he had his eyes opened. Since the annoying suitors came from a distance, they must hav known better. Just what was in their minds we can only guess, but that they did besiege poor Pene lope there is no doubt, for when Odysseus returned at last he drew his bow and slew them, every one. At one point the story of Tele- machus and his absent father is touched with a memory of Helen, of some value as a picture of her on the domestic side. Just before Odysseus made his dramatic reappearance, Telema chus had grown desperate. He re solved to slip away by night in a small boat, with a few trusted men and sail to Pylos, where Nes tor lived, and then on possibly to Sparta, the home of Menelaos. If either of his father's friends gave him any positive reason to think that Odysseus was dead, he would go back to Ithaca, put on a bold front, celebrate his father's fu neral, marry off . his mother to somebody, he didn't care which one, send the other suitors away, ad take charge of the house. He had never left his father's island before. When he came to Pylos he found Nestor just sitting down to a feast, with all his people around Mm. Nestor insistedUthat he should eat before he talked. After the meal the old man opened the conversation himself. He asked the boy if he was out on some errand of honest merchan dlse, or if he was operating as a pirate. Teiemachus was a .little frightened at the question, but he caught the idea, and let the old man think that pirating was one of his favorite sports, or would be when he had more practise. "Bn I've come to ask if you havj any news at all of my father, We have heard nothing at home. for I've forgotten how many years. Where in the world is he? Will you tell me how and when you saw him last, and anything you know about him since?" Nestor" went off into reminis cences. Odysseus waa his best friend. He never would tire of remembering their exploits togeth er on the plains of Troy. Teiema chus war afraid he wouldn't "But when it. came to our re turning." he-said, "none of us was wise. Menelaos said he was going home at once the war was over. and there was nothing to stay for. Agamemnon insisted on some sac rifices, to appease Aihena. Half of us were for sailing, and half were for more sacrifices. I saw it the same way as enelaos, and we made up quite a fleet when we set out the- next day. When we had gone as far as Tenedos, most of us stopped for a few hours and of fered sacrifices, to be on the fafe side, but Menelaos went on. Your Lather made us quite a speech. He argued that if sacrifices were the thing, after all. he was for no half way measures, and he turned back to rejoin Agamemnon. And that's the last, I saw of him. Not a word have I heard since. Most of the others reached- their homes. In Lesbos I stopped to sacrifice again to make sure, and I must say we had a great wind right Into the harbor, domeneus did you ever hear of him? The suitor Helen turned down first he had the smoothest trip of all, without los ing v man. nd he's back in Crete as-though notbing had happened. Menelaos ' is at Sparta now, you khowV with Helen.

No news of his father, and appar ently no chanca of any; not erea from Menelaos. But his curiosity extended to other matters also; he was young. Teiemachus said that Sparta would be his next stopping-place. Perhaps Menelaos might know something of his father.'" Nestor thought not, but it would do no harm to inquire. So the young man continued his voyage, hoping for news, and not unmoved by the prospect of seeing Helen, said to be more beautiful than ever. When he came to the famous gate where once Paris had knock ed, Eteoneus held him up with some feeble excuse, and hurried to find Menelaos. "There's another handsome young man outside." he said. "Do we let him in?" "Eteoneus," said Menelaos, "there have been times in your life when you did not act like a fool. I don t get the reference. Of course we let him in! When I have .traveled in the past, I have always ' been hospitably enter tained, and dare say it has hap pened to you. We must do the same in our turn, when, a traveler comes." Now, what s the meaning of that!" said Eteoneus, but hot very loud. " - i Teiemachus had seen no such house -as this. The size and the wealth of it embarrassed him. He remembered that his father had more brains, but the thought did- n t bring ease of manner. They took him to the marble baths, where the attendants embarrassed him further by the thorough wash ing they gave him, and they oiled his hair, and put on him better clothes than he was accustomed to. MenelaoB came to welcome him, a tall man with beautiul long, dark locks, which needed no oil to make them shine. He wasn't so impres sive as his house. "I ve never seen a house like this,? said Teiemachus. "AH this bronte and gold and amber, to say nothing of the silver and ivory! The court of Zeus -himself on Olympus must be like this It can't be much finer. Menelaos put on a sober air, and said that no one ought to compare himself to the gods, but it certain ly was a satisfactory house. That is, the building. 'But I would exchange a large part of my wealth," he said, "to have back the years I spent away from this house, and the friends of mine who died at Troy, or were lost,on the way home. But I'm sorry for one friend in particular - for Odysseus. You must have heard the name. He did more than any; of the others for me, and here I am home again, and, nobody knows where he is, or whether he is aUve at all." The mention of his father brought sudden anguish to Tele machus, sudden because he had had his thoughts on Menelaos' fine house. He was about to reveal his name and his errand, when Helen entered from her vaulted room How could it be? Yet it could be no other! His mother had been careful to tell him how old Helen was, and he knew what she had been through. He had expected Aphrodite, a sophisticated goddess, charming as sin. As she walked toward htm he saw that she was was young and maidenly, and he knew what Artemis must be like. With her came a girl who seemed older, but probably wasn't. They called her Adraste. She set a chair for Helen, with a footstool, and brought her the wool for spinning in a golden basket on wheels. Tei emachus forgot his father, forgot bis mother, forgot the suitors. All his life he tried to be sorry he forgot, but he never was. Helen greeted him. and took the wool In her hands, and entered the conversation as though Teiema chus were a very old friend, or as though he hadn't really noticed him. yet. Then she let her hands fall in her lap. "Menelaos, I suppose we should n't ask the stranger1 who he is be fore he Is ready to tell us, but If he Is willing, I'd like to make a guess at his name." She looked straight at Teiema chus, and he was so happy he felt foolish. . . . '"I did not know." she said. "that two people .could be so much alike. .Of , course you see the re semblance, Menelaos? .:'; v "No,. I don't, Bald Menelaos. "Oh, youu mnst have , the mo ment he ppearedl" . "Perhaps I must, but I didn't. said Menelaos. "I'll have to tell you, then Odysseus," said Helen. "Upon my word. I do see it now!" said Menelaos. "Ana i spoke to him of his father just be fore you joined us: I noticed his interest in what I was aying. Un- on my word! There's no mis takv is (there T" Menelaos looked at him. and he looked at Menelaos. and he no ticed an expression on the older man's face which hadn't been there before hig wife came in. ' A suggestion of serenity, or almost that; of satisfaction, let us say. Teiemachus admitted he waa him self. But he wasn't quite himself. They talked for hours, or Mene laos did, and since there was no word of his father, Teiemachus listened politely and watched Helen and her weaving hands, and his soul went out of him utterly. Then Helen said there had been talk enough, and Menelaos looked slightly rebuked, but used to it. and he asked Helen if there wasn't to be something for supper. Helen came to the young man with a goblet of wine in her hand. and said: "Who drinks of this winevthey say, forgets ail nis sorrows lor ever. It comes from Egypt, where they know the secrets of herbs and drugs and charms, and there's a magic in it!" He took it from her, his hand touched " hers: and she smiled at him. It was as she had said; he forgot alt his sorrows as it seem ed, forever. But the magic, ha knew, was not in the wine. Menelaos was busy with his food on the other side of the table. THE END.

THE MORNING ARGUMENT AUNT HET By Robert Qafllea GUERNSEYS F AVORED BUTTER NEEDN'T BE COLORED FANCIER CLAIMS I Bits For Breakfast o- C 1 -c Mrs. A. I.

Mrs. Hughes is secretary of the Oregon Guernsey Cattle club and devotes a lot of her time to promoting the increase of pure bred Guernseys in Oregon, and particularly in Clack amas county. The Guernsey people have a booth at the fair at which they are handing out propaganda about Guernseys, also a sample of milk and butter from these cows. Guernsey butter does not have to be colored. One of the judges found this out yesterday when he was going to disqualify an entry of butter because it had coloring in it. Later he found that it was Guernsey butter, which, according to Mrs. Hughes, doesn't need any coloring. Among the Guernsey exhibitors this year are: D. H. Looney, of Jefferson; Samuel Krueger, of Albany; J. W. Swope, Claude Swango and R. B. Thompson, of Eugene.
