Will Pay For Themselves Each machine will pay for it self every little while, by the sav ing on fiber; by the greater per centage-of high quality fiber re covered from the straw, and by the higher priced product i deliv ered for the market. To say noth ing of saving on labor cost. There will no doubt be some short cuts found in operating the! machines. It would be strange if thi3 were not done, in this inven tive American setting. But the principle of the operation of the machine is correct. And withal simple. One wonders why it was ind All Ages Safe and Reliable Children like it.

But that Is true of every great invention. Each one Is sim pie to the Inventory and to most other DeoDle after the trick is turned. A Lot of Things A great many things are sure to follow the installing of this auto matic scutching machine. It will mean the easy handling of 3000 acres of flax to be planted this year, against the 2000 acres of last year for the state flax plant The same as to the 4000 acres that will probably come next year and the 8000 acres that will be grown for the state within a few years. And the growing of addi tional thousands of acres for pri vate account, to be finished in lo cal scutching plants all over the valley, by free labor. For the state flax plant, this will mean more retting talks. It will mean more room for drying the retted flax. It will mean the extension of tho walls around the prison at least the enlarging of thtf srttek"des, in order to have more room to carry on the opera Lions of the industries there. It will mean the erection of an office building, in order better to accom modate the growing business of the industries there. They run up above $1000 a day now, for seed and cow feed and fiber and tow and agricultural lime and all the rest. The business will double, and double again, and then keep on mounting. The limit will likely be SOlmj acres of flax for the state llax plant but there is no pre dicting what the limit will be for the state lime plant. The pri.son machine shops are working now on the making of 10 new flax pulling machines, for use in harvesting the crop of this year in addition to the 20 mach ines now in this district. No tell ing how far this may go. Likely 4tthe flax pulling machines for thfjUtedjStates will be manu fAfURttCfiittrJJkiajirison shops.

M. to 8 P. 420 State St.SaIem.Oreg "THE OETOUR" FINE PLAY WELL HANDLED Moroni Oisen Cast Pleases Jn Veracious Story of ; American Life By Roxella Bunch A! packed house witnessed the delightful presentation of Owen Davis' clever drama. "The De tour'f at the Capitol theater by the Moroni Olsen players last night. This play. one of the best American dramas vividly depicts the narrow attitude toward life of the inhabitants of remote sections of the older states. Charming Janet Young might be called the "leading lady" of the play only that that terra is too limited for her remarkable versa tility. Miss Young has appeared in character roles from that of a child to a grandmother. In the production last night she took the part of Helen Hardy. Moroni Olsen portrayed Steptten Hardy, a farmer who had become a slave to his land; whose one goal in life was the acquiring of more land. Perhaps, Mr. Olsen is best de scribed by the adjective "big." He is six feet three and one half inch es in height. His acting, too, has a quality that can best be de scribed by this one adjective. Al though he has a most generous attitude toward his fellow players he dominates the scene complete ly when he steps on the stage and speaks in his deep, resonant voice.1 The daughter of this couple Kate, was portrayed by the lovely Dorothy Adams who won all hearts when seen here last as one of the twins in the presentation of "The Lilies of the Field." - Byron Kay Folger appeared once again' in the character roles which he does so admirably. Last uight he took the part of Tom Lane, a neighboring farmer whose numerous troubles and tribula tions added some exquisite humor :o the production. ; The work of Mr. and Mrs. La nont (Gordon Nelson and Leora Thatcher) was noteworthy. Other well-known members of the company who had prominent parts included Harry R. Allen (Ben Glenney: Joseph E. Wil liams (Weinstein); and Thomas Osborn (Jake). "The X)etour" concents a fam ily living in an isolated commun ity. The mother, blessed or cursed with a Jittle education, regrets having given up her girlhood am bition that might have led to a great career as an artist, to marry Stephen Hardy, a farmer. Denied all cultural expression for herself, she lives in the determination to see her daughter advanced in the career that she, herself, gave up. To this end she scrapes and saves for years to have th enecessary sum that will enable Kate to study painting in New York. The love element enteis into the story in the person of Tom Lane who hag chanced his all in the building and' equipping of a garage to cater to the ever-growing tourist traffic. At the same time Stephen, the father, whose ambition is to acquire more and UJ.more- land for as he says he coit little lioius pa:a lar or n go.,.. equity Um hom will hr!p you bridif over tl hirJ place.

Even the mother finds some solace in commencing ggain to save for the graciughter who hasn't been born yet. that she may have the opportunity that her mother re fused. An undercurrent of simple humor born of comic lines nad sit uations lightens the seriousness of an otherwise ecthralliug drama. The end of hte play left the audience with a feeling not quite of satisfaction, and with an ache in their throats for the mother who sacrificed so much for a dream which proved in vain. The players have been brought to Salem under the auspices of the local Lions club.
