WANTED, " A merchant in Sidney, Montana, just a few years ago got the idea that Sidney ought to have a beet sugar factory I He became obsessed with the idea. He talked it. He got everybody in town interested. He got the farmers interested. He wrote to the factory people the companies owning strings of sugar factories. He got the head of one of the companies interested ,Not one of the largest companies, either. He interested the head of the Holly Sugar corporation, Colorado Springs, Coio. , And the merchant persisted for his town. Worth more to Sidney than all the rest of the business aitd manufacturing concerns there combined. This can be done by some man or some organization in Salem. It should not cost much. Just enthusiasm; and a spreading of the enthusiasm so as to take in the whole city tnd country - Especially the country. A sugar company proposing to build a factory in Salem would probably not ask any subsidy at all. Its manager might want a site at reasonable cost. It should be a consid erable piece of ground. At Bellingham, Wash., it is 40 acres. But the company manager would want contracts from the farmers. He would want to know that he could have the sugar beets, and for a term of years. Do you know of any one thing that would do Salem more good? One sugar beet factory here would bring others; it Tvould scatter them all over this valley. This will one day be considered one of the great sugar countries ; especially on account of the fact that this Is the industry capable of do ing more than any other in making ours a great dairy country. SUGAR BEETS Many people here will remember the cmapaign of a year ago last fall for sugar beet acreage in the Salem district, the beets to be shipped to the Utah-Idaho company's factor' at Bellingham, Washington, with the idea of that company the following year erecting a factory in this distrcit. That would have been a good thing; a wonderful advance, had it resulted in the building of a factory here, costing around a million and a quarter dollars. Concerning the sugar beet industry at Bellingham, the Herald of that city, in a recent issue, had the following tc lay: "Every farm should grow some cash crop. "Every farm is in need of a cultivated crop "The sugar beet is both a cash and a cultivated crop. "The results of the 101 farmers listed below who grew . sugar beets in various parts of Whatcom, Skagit and Sno homish counties in 1927 amply be and are being successfully grown throughout the district "What 101 farmers have accomplished, others can dupli cate under similar conditions. "The figures submitted herewith are based on the initial payment, viz, $7'per ton, and do not take into account the splendid crop of dairy feed left on the ground in the shape of beet tops and crowns, or the fact that farmers who grow scLgar beets are entitled to the from their beets, at a price far below its market value, viz $25 per ton, freight paid. These two items alone will equal a reasonable rental on the ground in" which the beets are grown, and the soil will be improved by 'having had a thor ough cultivation. j v fc'A few acres of sugar beets on every farm should mean hundreds of thousands of dollars produced and kept at home i Down in Waycross, Georgia, ture patron tendered a silver it was discovered that the dollar was minted in 1804, and the proprietor of the theater has been offered $1250 for it by a coin collector in Fort Worth, Texas.

The Path- . ; -THE n .v. READ THIS FIRST: Lynda Fenton. daughter of Johp Fenton, a periodical drunkard, has obtained her first job in the of fices of Armitage I ft Son. textile manufacturers. Her father, kind enough when he is sober, continually, when un der the influence of Uqrior, hurls insults at her and her mother. who, according to him, deserted her father when she was a baby. Reeling across the kitchen the erening of her first day at work. John Fenton, stumbling, clutches Lynda for support. Inflicts a bad scratch on .her shoulder, and then storms out of the house. Later her one friend and com panion. DaTid Kenmore, drops in and accidentally learns of her hurt. David is bathing Lynda's in flamed shoulder at the moment her father conies back to the house. NOW GO ON' WITH THE STORY Chapter 3 I Her Mother' Fate to be Hers? YN'DA FENTON'S face became scarlet, and she looked pit eously at her father, as if to beg him not to humiliate her be fore the boy. As for DaTid, he started toward the man who had insulted both the girl and himself. Lynda, how ever, held him back. "Aren't you making a mis take?" continued her father, in an ugly voice. "You can get more for your wares from youug Armi tage, who is a millionaire, than from old Kenmore's son, who is a panper." Lynda had been holding David's sleeve, and begging him. in a low voice, not to row with her dad. At this, however, he broke away from her and strode up to the older man, who cowered before hif clean, youthful vigor. "Take that back!" he said, shaking the drunken figure. "Take it back, you beast. You don't de serve to have a girl like Lynda to keep your old rattletrap of a house for you." I didn't mean it," stammered the man, abjectly. "That'll do for you, you lying cur. I would knock your head off your ugly old body after breaking your neck for your insinuations, if ycu weren't Lyn's father." "Please, please, Davie, don't stay any longer," begged the girl, trying to push him toward the door. "I'll see you tomorrow. My shoulder will be all right." Reluctantly David left. Fenton, sat down heavily, ap parently going to sleep In hit chair.- Once he opened his eyes and said: "I don't want that young snipe here. See that he dosen't show up again." "Father, I'm going to bed." '"AH right, all right. Stand up for him if you want to, but when you've gone to the devil like your mother did, don't come back here asking me to help you out." Lynda Fenton went to her rom and, closing the door, threw her self on the bed, shaking with sobs. She had come from work that day feeling very happy. Ever since she was fourteen years old she had worked for the Job that had a few days ago been given her. David had promised to try and gejt her a Job with Armitage & Son as soon as she was graduat ed. She had suffered insults and cruelties, but never had lost courage. She had been hungry and cold at times, and had made no friends, except David Kenmore, who had been her pal and companion ever Since they had started to school. Tonight it seemed strange that when she had a chance to put her mother's sordid story behind her. live her own life, and make some thing of herself. It had all come back again; stiff and stark the skeleton, which . she thought she had safely locked in the closet with her childhood, stood beside her. "It's no use. Your father if right," came through its grinning jaws. "It's only a question of time when you'll yield, as every woman does if she's tempted long enough." "Mother, Mother, why didn't you take me with you?" Lynda Fenton hysterically asked. "There must be some explanation. I don't. and won't, believe you went away with another man. as father al ways tells me. "Ceme back and tell me yov had to go away to escape father's cruelties. Oh, why didn't you take me. your helpless little baby. with you?" . Lrnda Fenton had never for given her mother for deserting her. She could not excuse her for that, even it her father's theory of all women were correct. Ever since she conld understand what her father was saying., he had told her that all women hare their price. That price might be position, name, security, a sop to vanity "er weakness, but it was usually money. Whatever it might be, no woman. If the temp tation came at the right time, and In the right place, could resist it. Lynda had thought much on the subject, as her father always had kept It before her when drinking, which lately. had been most of the time. - - ' . ! " That night, as she lay there, a decision, that long had been-tak ing form In her mind, was made. If her mother's destiny-were to be hers, she would demand the nignesi price. Poor child. She did not realise TTATEsW SALEM. OREGON WEDNESDAY? MORNING, MARGH.7, that she was making herself ac-l cept, as true, a drunken fancy of her father's, which even he did not Seem to believe when sober. She heard her father stumbling around the kitchen, and then go to his room. Finally, when from the; stillness she thought he had fallen asleep, she arose to mend her dress. Her tears started afresh for, after seeing the smart frocks worn by the other girls in the of fice, she had realised bow flimsy the material and how 111 fitting the garment. She had thought it so splendid when she had put it on first morning she had gone to Armitage & Son's. Tonight it, like her hopes. seemed impossible. "At least It's plain." she told herself, with the promise that be fore the dress was worn out she would buy another more in keep ing with her newly-deyeloped ap preciation of fashion and good taste. She thought of the other girls, so independent and assured, whom she had seen that day In the of fice. Surely they had asked much for themselves and were getting it.' If she had to sell her ability. or even her virtue, as her father intimated, she would demand the highest price. She sighed. As yet she did not know what the high est prfce would be. Only one thing she did know it. was not marriage to a drunkard. At last, when her only dress was carefully mended and hung up, and her shoulder bathed again in cold water, she crept into bed. It was then she thought of David Kenmore. Davie, whom she had known and played with ever since she had known how to play. Until tonight, however, she never had thought of him as being dif ferent from herself. Now, thanks to her father's insinuations, she found herself blushing as David's pitying face came again before her. (To be Continued.) ' TEN LIS, CLAIMED Five Weeks Old Girl Has "Died" That Number of Times, Statement GLENDALE, Cal.. Mar. 5. (AP) A baby five weeks "old, which, say attending physicians, has "died" ten times during the past seven days "and each time been brought back to life by sci entific means, now will live, the doctors announced today. Ten times during the past week the little girl, daughter of Mrs. O. E. Olmstead of Olendale ceased breathing, her heart stopped and her eyes glazed. Every evidence of dath was present. When the baby was first strick en Feb. 25 the fire department pulmotor revived her. Then Dr. Philipp Schmidt was called. He said the little girl was suffering from pleural pneumonia. ' The doctor, helped by relatives and friends of the Olmsteads, kept up artificial respiration but nine times more its breathing and heart stopped. By Thursday night htree blood transfusions from mother to babe had been per formed. Today baby Olmstead is breath ing naturally nad taking food in a normal way, the first time In eight days and Dr. Schmidt said "she will live." A tragic sidelight on the story of Dr. Schmidt's fight , for the baby's life was struck last Tues day when he received word of the death of hsl brother,' Lieutenant Commander Hugo Schmidt, whose naval plane plunged him to death Feb. 27 in Chesapeake bay while en route from Hampton to Annapolis. GLENDALE BABY HAS Find Mineralized Teeth Central Oregon Country BEND, -Mar. 5 (AP) The discovery of hundreds of. partly mineralized teeth, believed those of mammals of an age' interme diate to the fauna of the Ice age and the present, was announced here today. The teeth were found in Skeleton cave, a mile long cav ern of the Paulina mountain foot hills, during exploration work supervised by Walter ,J. Perry, member of the Deschutes national forest staff. The fossil teeth the only parts of the . entire skeletons not yet turned to dust will, Jt Is predicted. prove valuable palentoligical in formation on the fauna of ancient Oregon. Some 200 feet under the sur face of the earth and back 1,733 feet from the entrance to the main cavern was discovered a Bide cave in which many animals evi dently had been caught and held In a death trap by jt sudden rush of lava or by a local ca vein. The rocky floor of the side tunnel was virtually carpeted wi tb bon e ash Am one the fossil teeth are mol ars of what appears to" be a spe cies of norse. representative of a type more recent than the pleaiu- tocene horse found in the great equs beds of Lake county.

Enamel on the HooyER snu. OUT Only Slight. Possibility Seen That Secretary Will Make Bid There WASHINGTON. March (AP).-Whlle Secretary Hoover was still Inclined tonight to re main cut of the republican pri maries in Indiana, final decision rested largely n a conference of a group of his supporters In Indian apolis. Thirty-three delegates to the Kansas City convention are at stake, and If the commerce secre tary decides to make a fight for them he must file a declaration by Thursday night Both here and in Indiana, one group of Mr. Hoover's ; followers are urging him to enter the pri maries, while another Is advising him to stay out on the ground that he probably would wage a losing battle against Senator 'James E. Watson, who already has filed as a presidential candidate. Several days ago the cabinet of ficer, who has entered the primar ies in Ohio, Michigan, and Mary land, and intends to file in the primaries of at least three other states, conferred here with Oscar O. Foellinger, publisher of the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel, and E. M. Wasmuth, of Huntington. He also has canvassed 'the situa tion with former Governor Good rich. Goodrich who was associated with the commerce secretary in American relief activities abroad since the war. Is among those who were to meet tonight in Indiana- polls for a final check n political sentiment in the state. The views of the participants will; be relayed to Mr. Hoover tomorrow and it Is expected he will base his final de cision largely on the recommend ation made to him. The Hoover managers here view the Indiana situation from a different standpoint than the fight the secretary is making in Ohio against Senator Willis for conven tion delegates. There, under the law, if he carries any congression al districts in the April 24 pri mary, he willlget the support at Kansas City of those delegates. In Indiana however, the in structions of the entire delegation depend en the state wide result In the primary. Whatever gets a majority will receive the votes of all the state's delegates until he releases them. GIVEN LIFE TERM Hammer Slayer Enters Plea of Guilty; Will Begin Sentence Today PAINESVILLE, Ohio. March 6. (AP). Mrs. Velma West, the blonde hammer slayer of Perry, Ohio, will enter the women's re formatory at Marysville tomorrow to begin a life sentence for the slaying of her young husband. Thomas Edward West, son of a wealthy nurseryman. Velma escaped trial for first de gree murder this morning when Prosecutor Seth Paulin accepted the plea of guilty1 to a second de gree charge. The 21 year old girl, jubilant over the disposition of the charge, looked forward to life within the reformatory walls as a change to be desired. Her cell In the Lake county Jail has been a place of terrible soli tude she declared. "Within ten years I will be elig ible for parole," said Velma, "that gives me hope." teeth had protected them from ag ents of decay through long ages. The teeth are to sent to the Uni versity of Oregon or to the Smith sonian Institution for determina tion. The manner in which the horse found its way far into the dark lava tunnel is problematical. It is thought that, perhaps, the carcass was carried Into the cave by a great bear or by another beast of prey. Farther back Jn the tunnel was found the Imprint of the skeleton of a bear the skeleton crumbled to dust and only the teeth remaining. . That man knew of the care and perhaps used it at a later period as a habitation was determined by the presence of countless chips of flints and arrow heads In the sand at the mouth of the cavern. It Is regarded as doubtful whether natives ever penetrated ' the cave as far as the mouth of the newly discovered tunnel. , Perry has had extensive exper ience in the southwe3tern part of the United States, and , recently explored the South Ice care In Deschutes county. From this care 'he obtained spectments of teeth said by the Smithsonian Institute to be those of mountain sheep, a creature not ow found in central Orego. ' v Aside from a species of hug bats with colored breasts o crra tares now are known to live in Skeleton cave. WIN MURDERER 1928 When Jn the arms of hr moth er she suddenly collapsed.

She killed young West when he asked that she not attend a party that night She then attended the affair. Supreme Court Also Rules Multnomah County Man Must Support Child The ruling made in circuit court in the case of Edna Z. John son vs. William E. jonnson ana Eva C. Johnson, by Judge L. H. Mc-Mahan was affirmed in the state supreme court in an opinion written by Justice Belt, handed down Tuesday. Other opinions handed down Tuesday follow: Alexander Haberffian of Mult nomah county must pay to his di vorced wife, Mary Diettrich the amount of $10 monthly for the support of her minor child. The payments shall continue until the child reaches the age of 14 years, according to the terms of the de cree. The record in the case showed that at the time the divorce was granted there was a minor child of plaintiff and defendant, who was born after the suit for divorce was commenced and before the final decree was entered. Prior to entering the decree of divorce the parties contracted in writing with each other whereby the defendant promised to pay to plaintiff, who was then his wife, the amount of $10 a month for the support of the child. It was said that the defendant failed to keep up the payments on grounds that the contract was il legal and was a collusive agree ment made contrary to public policy.
