THRIFT WEEK
Salem is cooperating in national Thrift Week as she has
never done before
And much credit for the proper organization of the com
1 mittees and the general arrangements is due to the Y. M.
C. A. and to the Thrift committee which is headed by David
W. Eyre.
The eight page Thrift section, which is a part of this
morning's paper, is not merely a scheme to develop extra
advertising inches. It is a section which is published at
ihe request of the committee, and much of the. credit of its
success is due to Otto Hillman, who is a member of the pub
licity department of the Thrift committee. Mr. Hillman
devoted considerable time and effort to the work.
The idea carried out in this eight page section is a little
different from the ordinary. The first page is devoted en
tirely to news; page two carries the message of Tuesday,
Thrift day; page three, Wednesday, budget and economy
day ; page four, Thursday, insurance day ; page five, Friday,
own your own home day ; page six, Saturday, pay your bills
promptly day; page seven, Sunday, share with others day,
and page eight, Monday, safe investment day.
The illustrations and articles are a part of The States
man's regular cut service (the Advertisers Cut Service,
New York), and have been approved by the National Thrift
Committee.
The word thrift means more than economy and frugality.
It is an inclusive word. It embraces prosperity, success,
development, good fortune, and the sharing of your good
fortune with others.
"No gain is so certain as that which proceeds from the
economical use of what you have," runs an ancient adage
And thrift means use ; the right use of what you have or
are trustee for
And all are trustees. No one can take anything of mater
ial gain with him when he at last turns his face westward.
Thrift endows colleges and hospitals and feeds the hungry
'and clothes the naked, and considers the needs of the less
fortunate of other lands. It considers the home field and
does not overlook the distant places of the world
For after all the world is
not be disease or need or suffering anywhere without affect
ing and appealing to the spirit of thrift everywhere.
So the United States, the nation that is the most thrifty
of all nations in a large way, is
that gives away most at home
the dreams of any former people in history. The first sav
ings bank opened in the world was started in 1803 and now
the United States has deposits and depositors in savings

Thrift week is the most practical of all such periods set
apart in this country to be devoted to an ideal or an idea, or
a set of ideals and ideas, and it is perhaps the most useful
of all in the far reaching good accomplished in making this
a better country in which to
THE COW QUESTION AGAIN
Editor Statesman:
The discussion in The Statesman concerning the dairy
industry interests me greatly. Might I say a few things
from, another angle ?

It is not the idea of those closely in touch with the dairy
cattle that the average Oregon cow was ever as good as
today. There is practically an unanimous agreement as to
this. I asked an old time cream hauler how many cows his
territory had now in comparison to the past peak, and the
answer was, "Maybe a little more than half. But the dis
trict is producing as spiuch fat as ever." In his mind, a
combination of better cows and better feed and care. He

(Now ge- on with the story.)
o o o
CHAPTER II
B
OB TERRY'S packing was a
pitifully simple process. From
the wooden chest at the foot of his
cot he took his few belongings:
shirts, underwear, socks, hand
kerchiefs, a tattered coat, a pipe
and a tin half full of cheap tobac
co. His toilet articles consisted of
a toothbrush and a comb.
He placed everything on a pri
son shirt which he spread on the
stone floor. Then he looped the
four corners and tied them. He
arose, smiling bitterly.' "My trunk
is ready, Todd."
"Uh-huh. I'm mighty glad
you're goin' kid. We've beer
great buddies."
"And we will be again. I'll be
waiting when you get out."
"That'll make coming out a
heap nicer."
"And you'll let me know
when?"
"Yeh. Not by writin'. though.
I don't trust letters. Kathleen'll
know, an' she'll tell you."
The shadow of a frown flitted
across Bob's forehead. The con
stant mention of Kathleen an
noyed him. He didn't want tn
see the woman once and then for
get about her.
In a few minutes preceding the
commencement of the afternoon's
labor in the mill, the prisoner?
who lived in Cob's cell block
crowded about the open door.
They were a queer assortment of
human beings, yet the sloping
foreheads, squlnty eyes and reced
ing chins which are popularly as
sociated with, the idea of criminal
types were strangely infrequent.
These men, serving terms ranging
from two years to life, were ap
pallingly like those of the woTld
beyond the granite walls. The;
were neat and clean and interest
ed. The only group-characteristic
to distinguish them from the den
Izens of the city beyond the walls
was that they spoke in whispers
They were subdued.
They knew that one of their
number was leaving. They did
not know details, for, inside a pri
son, personal information is nei
ther sought nor given. But they
crowded around the cell and mur
mured congratulations in hoarse
voices and some of the men even
waxed humorous
The siren split the quiet air. The
! prisoners crowded into the main
Todd Shannon hung back with his
young friend. He was more upset
than he cared to admit. He was
fond' of Bob Terry, and had
planned to greet him on the out
side when the prison should even
tually give the young man up. But
his release had changed every
thing and Shannqn feared for the
lad who was now going into the
outer world as alone as when he
entered the prison.
Shannon knew what was await
ing Bob. An ex-convict is a per
son generally feared and never
trusted. Small likelihood that the
world at large would know Bob
Terry as the man who had been
three years he has been an Inmate
of the state penitentiary; the bar
sinister of penal servitude was in-
delibly engraved upon him.
Side by side, with measured
steps, the Ill-assorted pair walked
down the long main corridor to
the heavy door which gave access
to the executive offices. Now that
the moment for separation had ar
rived, there seemed a great deal
to say and no words in which to
say it. -6
Bob Terry was conscious of an
absurd reaction. At this moment
of departure he felt a twinge of
regret, as though be were aban
doning a haven of refuge. After
all. the prison itself had not been
so-very bad: it had been more the
ghastly knowledge that he was no
lonrer a human being, that his
every movement was arranged for
him, and that he was powerless.
Simeon Mason was s humane war
den. The prison had known very
little brutality, and that had been
the work of guards venting their
individual and personal spleen.
Evan the punishment of unruly
prisoners had been merciful. . Bat
there was no escaping from the
knowledge that one was no longer
regarded as a human being; ; there
was no escape from thought.
They stood facing each other st
the corridor door. Big Todd Shaa-
non dropped a huge paw on the
shoulder of his young friend.
"B'by. Kid."
"'By, Todd."
"See you at Kathleen's when I
get out."
"Yes."
"And and don't take things
too bitter. Bob."
"I oh. hell! why shouldn't I?
"Now listen "
"I'll be good." There was a
sneer on Terry's Hps as he looked
up. "So long, Todd."
Their hands met. Then, with
out another word. Bab Terry
turned away. The stevedore
swung back the gate for him and
he walked straight toward the
warden's office.
But he was not unobserved.
Todd Shannon bulked against the
corridor bars, staring at the pa-
luetic figure moving toward the
door and freedom. And Todd
saw clearly. He saw more than
the slender, slightly stooped
young man of twenty eight; he
saw more than the, thin, deeply
lined tace. topped - by black hair
which was prematurely silvering
at the temples. He saw through
the garb of prison white into the
seared soul, and he shook his head
apprehensively.
"The kid ain't healthy In his(
mind," he told himself .sadly.)
"He's all bottled up, and he s
bound to break loose. I hope he
sees Kathleen and Mr. Carmody
They'll straighten him out if any
body can."
Bob entered the warden's office
and stood motionless. The kindly
man smiled a greeting and desig
nated an old blue serge suit on
his desk.
"This is yours. Terry. If you
take this, we give you some mon
ey. Of if you prefer, you can have
a new suit and no money. Youj

departing prisoners, and the ruler
have made no provision for men
who never should have been sent
here in the first place."
"I'll take my old suit, sir and
the money."
"If you'd rather have the other.
I can lend you a little money."
"Thank you, sir. I'll get along
with my old suit. Style means
very little to me right now."
He stepped into a little room
adjoining the office, and a few
minutes later reappeared. The
old suit, which had fitted so snug
ly, now hung loosely upon shoul
ders which had acquired a stoop.
and the youthful jauntiness of cut
which had been Bob Terry's pride
in the old days now seemed a
ghastly caricature. The warden
rose and fared him.
"You're going out, Terry. We
all know you've been badly used.
But don't let it eat on you. Give
the world its chance 4o atone for
this injustice."
The young man's eyes were
veiled. He was restless and mis
erable. He didn't want preach
ment. He was grateful for the
kindliness of the man and for his
