The Pacific Coast Packer print.; a letter from E. E. Jt-tt, 625 North Plymouth boulevard, Los Angele.s, which letter, after asking for the renewal ol his subscriptions, says: "I am a little bit late on remitting, but you will have to excuse me this time, as I have been spending the last year in Los actively engaged in business. to be soon. I always thought work that I would be foolish hard work, good luck and same timt the desired result up and moved to California nothing. Now I want to go to work and forget there is such a thing as doing nothing. I was in business'for 17 years in East St. Louis, 111., owning and operating the Hagist-Jett Produce company. er good location to spend my next 17 years; can you suggest a place where profits are long, and collections easy? How is Detroit? For the benefit of some of these fellows who think they are wasting their are having a good time and letter if you want to. I hate spending his time idling. Any suggestions offered as to a good place to locate will be appreciated. I have a few hun dred thousand dollars ahead, and I would like to get a part of this back into the produce business." This is printed as a tip to Charley Wilson of the Salem Chamber of Commerce, and to all our real estate hustlers, and every other man of vision in Salem Because Salem can offer to Air. Jett the best opportunities to be found in the United States both for the investment of-l his money and for an opportunity to work with his money, in ways that will make life worth living; in useful en deavors With residence in the most beautiful and home like city in this country, where he will be aprpeciated and welcomed Mid made a big part of our city of welcome in our land of diversity; our country of opportunity. Congratulations to the Salem Y. W. C. A. and to the good people of Salem! The campaign to make up the budget goes well, i That is fine. Here's hoping that there may be no slacking or slackers, and that the entire $7000, to the last penny, may be pledged by Saturday. The OUTER GATE By O' TAVL'S ROY COHEN CEN "! ZA u TT.ZS3 AS3N., Inc.

Name Address VOID AFTER MARCH 10TH, 1928 ANYONE CAN VOTE FOR FRIENDS what you really mean to me." Peter Borden was not blind and because of that he permitted himself to worry. Tbe Immaculate little man with the precise mind and unswerving sense of honor had seen the de velopment of the Interest between his daughter and the young man who had been taken into their home. Peter Borden knew his daugh ter. There was much of him in her, ar.d more of her mother, and Borden had known every twist and quirk of his wife's brain and emotions. It therefore did not surprise him to see that from the first Lois wove a great romance about the tragic, stooping figure of Bob Terry. He was pathetic and he did not need sympathy and kind ness and mothering. It was only natural that a girl young and impressionable and always shelt ered from the harsher phases of life should fall under the ro mantic spell. Bob Terry, fine minded r.s he vas, was yet not of their caste, and so. until matters lad progressed too far. Borden did not sense that Lois' interest had transcended the impersonal and taken unto Itself a depth which now had to be faced as a fact. There were three phases to the condition which brought little wrinkles of worry to the,, corners of Borden's eyes. One was that he doubted the depth of his daughter's love for Bob Terry. That she thought she was in love with the young man, he knew. But be doubted if she really was Now, Bob was possessed of a halo she dramatized every look and move and action; he was a stark ly heroic figure In her eyes. Above all. It was certain that she did not see him clearly. She saw only the pathetic side and could not see him as he was: a young man of ereat possibilities for good; of certain abilit but with the strength and weaknesses of an average numan Deing. u was not that Peter Borden considered that Terry was not good enough for his daughter; he was fearful that she did not know Terry, the man. She only knew him as she Imagined he was. And that fact brought to Borden's mind tbe third possibility. Suppose Bob was as bitter as he thought and suppose the boy attacked him through Lois? Peter Borden shuddered. Tonight Bob had dined at home and then gone from the table to his room. Borden moved into the library for his evening cigar and Lois followed. For a few minutes she moved restlessly about the room, a slim, straight figure of white and gold. then, without a wordt she came and seated her self on the arm of his chair. Borden reached up and took his daughter's hand. This was the opportunity for which he had prayed and which he dared not create for himself. His voice, freighted with understanding and sympathy, came softly to her ears. "Worried, dear?" "Yes. Dad." "Bob?" "I think so." '"Why?" She hesitated before answering And then "Why didn't he let you help him. Dad?" "Instead of going to work for Carmody?" "Yes." A vertical furrow appeared be tween Borden's eyes. "Perhaps it was just as well." "Why?" "Borden has never forgiven me, Lois." "Xo-o. He hasn't. But he doesn't know you and the only wav he could have known you would have been to have gone to' work for you. The daily con tact " ''He's had that here." "Xo. Dad. He hasn't and you know it. He h.as lived under this roof and eaten some of his meals here, but he hasn't known you. I get shuddery sometimes looking at him and thinking. It is al most as though he hated you and was staying here for a pur pore." Borden sighed. "Perhaps. I cannot object to anything he may think or do. I wrecked that young man, Lois. No use evading the fact. I did it from conscientious motives, but that didn't make the blow to him any less terrible. And so, whatever he is now whatever he may be is my fault. I can only make what reparation he will permit me, and do my best to provide for his future." The slim white arm tightened about the man's neck. "Dear old Dad. You understand things al most too well for your own happi ness. What a pity that Bob can not know you. He thinks you are hard and cold. "He has every reason to think that." "Of course. But the Carmody thing " "Bob was probably pretty sen sitive about coming back to work for the company where his trou ble started. Pride and all that sort of thing." No-o-o." She shook her head "It isn't that. Dad else he would never have come here to live, or accepted money and clothes and food from you. There's something else behind It. And since he went to work for Carmody you've no ticed the change, haven't you?" "Yes." He has improved tre mendously. The reawakening of his self-respect. I'd call It." "He could do so much for him self and Is doing so little. He frightens me." "Don't be silly. Lois. He'll make out very well. I'm sure. He's got the real stuff, bat It Is over laid with bitterness and with memories which are like gall. People do start at him curiously, but not so much as he thinks. And I judge that he loathes pity. The back trail for him Is going to be long and hard and we must be patient. I only hope that I can do for him what I want." She saw the lines of worry. In stantly her own problem was for gotten in her love for her father. "Something wrong, Dad?" "Nothing In particular." "What?" she demanded. "Oh business." "Really wrong?" "Just what we call an acute crisis. Our creditors the banks from whom we have borrowed are calling In some of the loans. We saw ourselves through one major crisis when we mpved into the new plant. Now we're facing a more vital one. And Jonas Merriweather is very difficult to handle." "Explain it to m?. Dad." "There's no need. But we're in this position: we. must again bor row from ourselves. That is, the corporation must borrow from the individuals, because the banks won't len4 us any more money. In two years everything will be in perfect condition, but most of us are in up to the hilt already; there has been a succession .of troubles, and Jonas is the only man with enough private cash available to see ns through. And he is balking. If he refuses final ly, I don't know what we'll do. He Is a heavy Investor, but he can afford to lose his money. The i est of us cannot." "And you?" "Everything I own Is In the plant, Lois. If we went under, I would be worse than bankrupt." She stroked his thinning hair. "It's going to come out all right. Dad. I'm sure, of that. Merri weather Is a nasty old man, but he loves money too well to lose what he has already Invested. And you're always said that once ; -p 7 n the new plant Is operating as It should, there'll be a real fortune In It for you." "There Is, but that isn't what has worried me. I have been thinking of you, of course. And beyond that, of Bob Terry. I want to do a great deal for him; I want to make up to him. through his future, for the suf fering I unwittingly caused In the past. That would be a rather difficult job if what little I have were swept away." (To be Continued.) OFFICERS SUBPOENAED SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 8.

LINDY SWOOPS DOWN BEFORE BIG CROWDS (Continued from page 1.) an ordinary overhauling for the flight from Havana to St. Louis, owing to the many hours it al ready has been in the air. A repre sentative of the Wright Motor company and Cuban and American army aviators took charge of the plane. Cuban cavalry and infantry con tinued to guard the machine long after the departure of its pilot, and crowds surged around to get as close a look at the silver ship as possible. The plane was placed in one of the Pan-American Air ways corporation's hangars, which will be its resting place for the next few days. Rides to Palace Accompanied by the American ambassador, Noble B. Judah. and the Cuban ambassador to Wash ington. Orestes Ferrerra, Col. Lindbergh left the field at 4:10. Another Triumph!

The pres ident gave the good will ambassa dor a hearty welcome, shaking him warmly by the hand. "Y'ou have come from the far end of this island republic," he said, "where we fought so hard for Independence. You represent one of the world's greatest na tions as ambassador of the air.

Later in the great hall where the aviator received the congrat ulations of guests, Lindbergh touched to his lips the traditional champagne of which the others partook. Throughout the cere mony he carried his flying helmet. His face, reddened by the tropical sun, appeared perfectly composed and showed little sign of strain from the flight into 15 lands which culminated in his arrival here. After the ceremonies.

CQMEABTY The arlval of Colonel Lind bergh completed one of the most extraordinary flights in the his tory of aviation a flight that carried the American hero to no less than 15 lands and over 8.000 miles of territory, much of it mountainous and wild. Leaving Washington, D. C, on December 13 on his good-will flight to Mexico City, the colonel completed the 2.000 mile trip in aDDroximately 27 hours and was greeted enthusiastically by the Mexican people who flocked to Valbuena flying field to welcome him.
