Thi-re are 15 of these machine "on the floor" now, of the 1929 rsodel, in course of construction, fins 'model has most of the fea tures of the 1928 machine; but there are some raaicai nui""" "ments. ... The 1930 model is being built, too. One sample machine. In this machine there are still more departures that will make for both efficiency and economy. It is ex pected that a better machine will be turned out than has so far been produced, and one that may be sold to farmers at a still lower price. Those are two of the ob jects of making the pulling ma .iine at the nrison. The idea is to make it possible for growers to produce good flax at a proiu, in order to keep tne nax anu mm industries growing on a stable basis. Money Given Fanners JJpu'n Product Delivered The farmers growing the flax . ... . . t n . V. t this year wm oe auic iu s money on delivery, though the leg islature at the last session was not asked for an appropriation the first omission of the kind since the industry was started at the prison. In 1915. :; There is.now on hand in the re TOlving fund in cash and bills re ceivable $117,000, and over $200,--000 worth of products on hand will be ready for marketing before t" list of the 1929 crop comes f isom the farms. Press dispatches announce a Ccnadian invention for separating the fiber from the flax straw by a mechanical process, that promises to do away with retting. This m.y be so. It will happen some day. :But it has not happened in the 6000 years since the begin nings of the flax industry, though thousands of people have worked o: the problem. Sidney Starling, well known in Salem, har just built a machine (or plant) for the Vancouver, Wash., linen mill. He says it will work. Maybe it will. Dut, so far, all fiber produced ' without retting, and drying in the sun, has lacked what linen mill people call "life." That is resil iency, or spinability. And that is important, it is in fact neces sary, for spinning a high class product for weaving and making twine and thread and the hun dreds of other commercial articles that are made from flax fiber. m Chemeketans To Take Interesting Hike In Country An old copper mine, a lake with out visible source -of outlet and vean of low grade coal are on the route of the hike of the Che meketans today la the neighbor hood of Holmes Gap.

All the boys went heartily to with a good boss named Earl Pruitt When they added to the hall at Salem Heights. There was this and that and 'tother, and many many things to do. There was planning and financing to put the proposition through. There was fussing and some cussing,' and meetings many nights, but these men are quite determined, who live here at Salem Heights. There were Polk, and Stiles and Skelton. the Pruitt boys and Ball, Who contributed the heaviest to the building of the hall, Thore weie others who gave money, and others who worked nights, But they all responded nobly for our hall at Salem Heights. Then came the stape contraptions, the foot lights, screen and such. If we hadn't gotten good advice, we'd all have got in Dutch. Curtains, drops, are ticklish things and picture machines are fickle, But we got the best, and did it right, and the credits due Van Sickle. There was, saw off this, and nail down that, and John you hang that door, It was raise her up a little Bill, it's too close to the floor. Now, O. K. boys, she's level now all right, kick in the lights, And the boys worked just like beavers, on our hall at Salem Heights. And the ladies all were busy, and in manner characteristic. They took charge of operations, where we needed the artistic. It was they who made the curtains and hung them on the wall, And we heard quite confidentially that they didn't quarrel at' all. Salem Heights is up and doing. She is progressive to the core, Our modern school and modern hall will bring people to our door. And apropos of these remarks, a substantial strength is lent. By a courageous, and a willing and an able president. Our community of Salem Heights is going to grow, Oh, Boy, We'll have pictures, shows and music to give the people Joy, Up and doins; folk will move out here and thereby gain their rights, To put their shoulders to the wheel, for a Greater Salem Heights.

Greta Garbo, Conrad Nagel Stars in Espionage Story Hidden factors of the great wars of Europe, the net of spy systems which fought silent, but deadly battles in the supposedly quiet times of peace form the back ground for stirring drama in the new picture at the Elsinore the atre.

( ACCOUNT BY PA&SENGER Graf Zeppelin Passes Hours in Air Beyond Control of Its Crew (Continued from Pag 1.) the troubled western hazy horizon Friday afternoon. Captain Chris tian Bisser, official German pas senger, entered the salon as the ship was tacking about above Valence. "Ladies and gentlemen. There is danger. Remove your bags and remain calm. We are forced to land." General silence greeted the an nouncement, all, or almost ail, of the passengers made for the cab ins to get their baggage when one of the ten men passengers in a high pitched voice exclaimed: 'What the hell are you talking about?" In spite of the tension of the moment, the other passengers who had understood the grim warning which had been spoken in Ger man, broke out into a general roar of laughter. It was then explained to the passenger who understood no Ger man that' there was trouble ahead and that the ship, unable to pro ceed, must land. "That's all right with me," he replied. "Now I understand, it is quite all right." With parachutes wrapped around their shoulders, instead of the usual lifebelts of steamships, the passengers watched as the zeppelin manoeuvered above Va lence and Montelimar from 3:30 p. m., until 6:00 p. m., in the most unusual "life boat" drill held in the air. The Graf Zeppelin by this time had completely lost all control of steering and was turned into a mere balloon, buffetted by the wind continually and drifting to ward the Mediterranean in spite of the one motor that was still throbbing. Then suddenly this last motor stopped after several cough ing spells, sputtered and died. Ship Pushed Rapidly Toward Mediterranean The dreaded mistral, blowing from the northwest, was pushing the helpless zeppelin towards the sea at a speed of 40 miles an hour. The passengers then thoroughly alarmed delegated one of their number to go to the navigation cabin where Dr. Eckner with his officers were setting quietly in their seats. The doctor's son, Knud Eckner, was at the steering wheel. Dr. Eckener in response to a ques tion said it was imperative to find a landing field. Flying before the wind and headed straight for the Mediter ranean with only one motor to aid in the steering, the Graf Zeppelin went through the most momen tous hour of the entire flight. Dr, Eckner himself directed his son at the steering wheel and the me chanics at the various levers, seek ing to find favorable air currents. II (Continued frqm Pag 1.) between 16 and 25 years of age, approximately the figures estimat ed for the torso. The discovery was made after authorities had been attracted to the spot by the uneveness of the sands. A small pit was found in which the head reposed and at first glance, they said it appeared the possibly a body had been bur ied there and washed away by heavy rains. Police said superficial examina tion of the head disclosed no evi dence of skull fracture or bullet wounds. Previous examination of the torso also had failed to give any clue as to the cause of death. The neck, police said, had been severed at the fifth vertebrae, about an inch from the collar bone, with Indications that the cutting had not been done hastily. The teeth were to be examined and photographed, with riew to possible tracing of the victim through dentists. The victim's hair was blonde, and the skin, the coroner's chemist said, was unus ually fair, matching in that re spect the skin of the torso. The finding of the head caused police to rush again a once-abandoned effort to find the sender of an anonymous telephone message to police headquarters in Hunting ton Park, near the points at which the torso and the head were found. Police had combed the sec tion without avail for a woman who told headquarters she had seen a touring car, occupied by a man and a girl stop at the Flor ence avenue bridge during a rain storm on the day the torso was discovered. The man carried a large bundle down to the river bed, she said. Tomorrow sheriff's deputies were to renew Intensive search of the river bottom in hope of find ing the arms and legs.

Mills for their alertness. Capone Very Displeased At Being Sentenced "From the remarks that Capone made .to me I am sure he was any thing but pleased in being sent to jail." said Malone: "Once a gang leader is put behind bars it ends bis prestige. He has shown he is not stronger than the law, and that endi him. Capone's career as a gang leader is over." Malone revealed that two oth er men were with Capone and Cline, before they were arrested, but that these men managed to get away.
