The two Salem lines mills are

out at the state flax plant. The
output wilt soon be trebled, and
Ten at that our mills may be
speeded up sufficiently to take
all the supply.
There is a possibility, too', that
the local mills may continue to
expand to the extent of taking all
the output on the larger produc
tion of next year likely double
the amount that will be produced
after th trebling of the present
Tolume.
And eren beyond that, there
are possibilities that these mills
may go. along with the growth of
the state flax plant's production,
up to the taking of flax from 10.
000 acres. But that would con
template a lot of fiber a possi

mills that would come to Salem,
if the primary spinning of the
yarn could be provided for. up to
that poiqt. That migbt mean aOO
$10,000,000 or more annual' in
dustry, based on the production
of 10.000 acres of our landi. It
would depend partly upon the

that would come might turn out
products that would render the

markets as much a $24 a pound

PEOPLE
A great many more people are
worth knowing than we suspect.
People that we may at first think
are tiresome and whom we would
like to avoid may become, on fur
ther acquaintance, a source of
pleasant interest and even of in
struction and inspiration. In one
at Pascal's writings we read:
When I converse witn a pro
found mind, or if at any time be
ing alone I have good thoughts
I do not at once arrive at satis
factions, as when being thirsty
drink water, or go to the fire, be
ing cold; no! but I am at first
apprised of my vicinity to a new
and excellent region of life. By
penisting to read or think, this
region gives further sign of itself,
as it were, In flashes of light, in
sudden discoveries of its profound
beauty and repose, as if the clouds
that covered it parted at intervals
and showed the approaching trav
eler the inland mountains, with
the tranquil,' eternal meadows
spread at their base, whereon
flocks graze and shepherds pipe
and dance."
TIME
Perhaps the most satisfying ex
perience in all life and nature is
the change that time brings. Sup
pose things today were going to be
the same a year or ten years from
today? Suppose there were no
such things as change and the
smothing, softening effects of
time. Suppose time did nothing
to one's mind and emotions, what
a tragic world this would be. The
same Pascal, quoted above, says
also:
"Time heals all griefs and dis
sensions, because one changes
one is no longer the same penon.
Neither the offender nor the of
fended are any longer themselves.
It ts as If one had angered a peo
ple and should revisit It after
two generations. They are still
French, but not the same French
men." WHICH RACE?
There are many profound opin
ions about the races ot mankind.
There are educated people who
think quite definitely that one
race Is a great deal better than
another. Or If they are not deal
ing in races they think the men
and women of one particular na
tion or group of nations Is smarter
than all others. There Is a great
deal of talk, but the evidence so
frequently kicks over the argu
ment that It Is best not to be too
sure. One of the greatest of mod-

officials of larger vision came
