In addition, he has set aside a trust fund of $50,000, the income from which is to go to their son until he reaches the age of 25. An income of $48,000 a year from the writing of an occasional book!

LIME D LAND SHOWS AMAZING RESULTS April 10, 1928 Then there were two thieves crucified with Hini, oae on the light hand, and another on the left. And they that passed by reviled Him, wagging their beads. And saying. Thou that destroyest the tem pi, and bnildeet it in three days, save Thyself. If Thou be the Son of Qod, come down from the cross. Matthew 27:38-39-40. THIS EDITOR HAS FAITH Old Hank Hardscrabble, who is always complaining, says that the only trouble with the year 1928, is that the fall rains have begun too early. Eugene Register. Three Times the Cover Crop Growth, of the Part Not Treated With Lime wm The Eugene Register of yesterday morning had the fol lowing to say editorially: "There are intimations from Salem that the linen mill established there by local subscription is not as yet, at least a paying enterprise. "That is unfortunate, but it does not prove lack of capable; management. Neither does it prove lack of opportunity in, western Oregon for the establishment of a profitable linen industry. What it does prove is that the way of the pioneer is hard. "Speaking of textile industries, the Eugene Woolen Mills, now one of the highly successful payroll industries of Ore gon, failed completely before it was finally established on a firm footing, under new ownership. "The people of Salem have pioneered in the linen industry, putting up their good money to prove that it is possible to grow flax here and manufacture linen from the fiber. "Most of them, probably, did not expect any immediate return from their investment. What they were looking for ward to was the development that will follow the establish ment of a successful linen industry in the Willamette valley. They were pioneers, and like all pioneers they were willing to do a lot of hard work and take a lot of risk so that some one coming after them might profit greatly. "This newspaper has faith in the luture of the linen in dustry in Oregon. It believes that after all the hard work of pioneering has been done, after the markets for American made linen that do not now exist have been created, after the problems of mechanical production have been solved, we shall see here a great linen textile industry that will add tremendously to the wealth and prosperity of Oregon. "And this newspaper wants, here and now, to give credit to the courageous and public spirited people of Salem who were willing to put their money and their efforts into the pioneering of this industry from which all of Oregon will ultimately profit largely. They are the kind of people who build great commonwealths." TO AIR KNOWLEDGE Valuable Data Collected On cockpit. Flight Major Fitzmaur ice Indicates has parsed beyond the outposts of civilization. The colors of the Irish Free State fluttered from windows and flagpoles. A roaring cheer greeted the plane as it bumped over the landing field, and a corps of newspaper men and photographers all but mobbed the flyers ae they stepped out of the LAKE STE. AGNES. Que..

Major James Fitzmaurice, co-pilot, on ihe long hop. believes, and when the three men in the Bre men's crew have checked their facts they will be given to the world. , The Irish flyer, who came here today, from Natashquan In a plane piloted by Charles A. "Duke" Schiller, said that the check up would be made after he rejoined his German companions. Baron von Huenefeld and Captain Koehl, waiting at Greenly Island for the spare parts he will take back to put the damaged Bremen in fly ing order. What the Bremen's crew learn ed on the flight from Ireland, he said, may shed some light on the fate of those others who were lost attempting to blaze the airplane trail westward across the Atlantic. But now, he said, he could offer no reason for the failure of pre vious attempts. When Schiller's plane dropped out of the sky into this little vil lage, the grinning Fitzmaurice had his first taste of the accala m at ion that awaits him when he More Oregon Dairy Cows Go To California Market The above from the Eugene Register is both generous and sensible, to say nothing of being neighborly. There is no doubt concerning the final outcome of the flax and linen industries of the Salem district and of the whole Willamette valley They will make up the greatest single industry in the state based on the annual products of the soil made into manufactured articles for the country's and the world's markets. And the Oregon Linen Mills, Inc., with all the troubles of pioneering in a new field, will in. due time, the writer be lieves, become a great and paying concern. Without missing use of the soil employed, as a rotation crop, but with a larger consequent production of other crops for its use in that way, a very small proportion of the land of the Willamette valley can be made to furnish the raw materials for a $100,000,000 annual industry in the making of linens ; to support, directly and indirectly a million people. Such a resource as-that will not be allowed long to lag. It is an opportunity that has too much of merit to be al lowed to be neglected. The Miles linen mill in Salem, making twines and threads, is already a going and profitable concern. It, too, was start- More of Oregons dairy cows are headed for the California markets. Hundreds of dairy cows have been s lipped from Oregon the past year. J. C. Burnam, Long Beach, Cal ifornia is here selecting two car loads for shipment. He is visiting with E. A. Rhoten of this city while here buying the cattle, as he and Mr. Rhoten are old time ac quaintances. ' PROPELLER RUSHED MONTREAL, Que., April 18. (AP). Fred Melchoir, Junkers' airplane expert, announced today he would fly to New York this af ternoon to get a propeller for the Bremen, the trans-Atlantic plane damaged in landing on Greenly ieland. The propeller will be re layed by air to the stranded ship. Limerock and commercial fer tilizer demonstrations conducted in prune orchards in the Dallas and Brush college districts through out the past year have shown some very marked results, with increas es in the growths of the clover rrop tow hich it was applied amounting to over thre times the growth where nothing was ap plied. Some materials gave this large increase, while others, gave very little." Ammonium sulphate gave an average increase of 275 per cent over the check plots, while ammonium sulphate in com bination with superphosphate gave an average increase of 320 per cent. This was the best result of any of the commercial fertilizers on the oats and vetch cover crop. Superphosphate alone, nitrate of soda and a complete fertilizer gave increases of varying amounts, but not equal to these two. These demonstrations have been carried on by the county agricul tural agent in cooperation with Wes Elliott of Dallas and F. C. Ewing of Brush college for the past two years. May See Result The demonstration in the. value of limerock in the growing of cov er crops was in the C. L. Crider laeni. orchard Just east of Dallas.
