To keep them from blowing orer, the architects will liars them an chored with three and one-half inch steel rods. The thief who made his flight last Wednesday morning with the horse and boggy of a Salem wom an yesterday was arrested at Cot tage Grore. He stole the borne and - baggy from the poa toffies grounds, where the animal was hitched to a tree. One packing eompany hefe by the end of the season will have shipped nearly 4,000,000 pounds of Oregon prunes. The Public Credit SALEM school board decides to issue interest bearing war rants directly to teachers and creditors instead of bor rowing the money in large blocks at the bank and then having " cash for those having claims against the district. This will 1 -not make a great deal of difference in cost to the district, Iwcause it will pay the same rate of interest, 6, which it-has been paying. There will be a little more work in calling ' warrants and figuring interest on each one. The district runs continuously from $100,000 to $200, 000 behind. This is because the school year begins in Sep tember and runs till June while the tax collection year is the calendar year and the money is not in until November and December following. Even with this delay in tax receipts the tatoT-frf rtno-rif tAbnn a cash basis so it could close its year in June without unpaid warrants. This constant floating ( debt is costly and impairs the district credit. . These are times when the public credit is under scru tiny. Astoria is defaulting on its obligations and giving the community and hence the state a black eye. Bend is in serious straits because its big lumber mills have not paid their taxes. v There condition is so bad that a delegation visited the gov ernor Thursday to see if the state could help them out; but no way was discovered. In other school districts teachers find difficulty in cashing their warrants even at a discount. It is a good time to drive home the dangers of mort gaging public credit through the indebtedness of the taxing unite. It is too bad the state constitution didn't put some brakes on issuing bonds by cities as It did for the state and counties. Salem is now in the process of being led by its jiose to vote $2,500,000 in bonds to build a water plant when bond issue of only $1,500,000 is all that is needed to pro vide the city with the finest kind of water. If the people do not wake up they will find that the taxeaters will put this two and a half million dollar mortgage on the homes ana business blocks of the city, in addition to all the other load of debt the city and school district are carrying. Another good time to Stop, Look, Listen ! Another Murder at Ashland A CTION swift, well-directed, and energetic has followed jfV the brutal killing of Victor Knott, Ashland police offi cer. The automobile carrying the murderers was quickly spotted and was steered into the Kogue river as me men leap ed out and escaped into the brush. At this writing they have not yet been taken into custody, but vigilant posses are still in thefield, and hope to corner the fugitives quickly. The state police department at Salem instantly became the nexus of investigation work. The car was traced, the re volvers were traced; and now the department has the men tfrf Tf iav escane this cordon of guards they will still K nnrstifxl wherever they may eo. And it is a safe prediction that Supt. Charles Pray will get the men and bring them to The ruthless murd&r of Knott coming shortly after that of Sam Prescott, another Ashland policeman, has roused Autism Oreo-nn. the whole state in fact.

Henry J. Mfllle, attorney: "I think the big men pay more. Comparatirely speaking, they tan Pay It Better than the little men. s Hi U HAS -A State Wood-Yard ONE of the prize suggestions for scattering state funds is that made by Secretary of State Haf Hoss for setting op a wood lot and hiring men to cut wood for the state which needs some 4000 cords for heating in a year. This would in deed provide employment, but at what a cost to the state. For it would take a horde of foremen and timekeepers to keep track of the men, and the efficiency would be low unless they were paid on a piece work basis. The test and cheapest way for the state to get the wood Is throuflrh contracting: and if the total is too large, then to let the contract in parcels to different men. Hundreds of men would need to be employed by those who contract to .sell the wood to the state. Thus labor would be given em ployment, the individual contractor would rate its efficien cy, and the state would have no worry about keeping crews -of men in the woods. In wood-cutting the laborer is supposed to provide his own tools ; but if the state started a wpod-lot to give employ ment then the state would assuredly be expected to provide .the tools. The experience both of hardware stores and wood : dealers is that it's, a poor risk to furnish tools to the cut ters: and the state would doubtless have the same exper ience unless it made regular and expensive check. r. Give the farmers and the wood-dealers a break. Lst them tender bids. The bids are sure to be as near bedrock 'cost as the state has any license to expect in these days of i fierce competition.

CLAIMS BSOOKLWr ii MASQUERADE ; By FAITH BALDWIN Sunday: "Fish That eat Tobacco'' BITS for BREAKFAST -By R. J. HENDRICKS A sugar factory: S The Bits man Bttll belieres Sa lem should bare had a beet sugar factory long ago. This raUey should haTe a number; will, without doubt, some day. The canalisation of the Willamette rirer, which is bound to come, will go tar to wards giving irrigation to erery aero of this ralley In need of It, to insure adequate moisture for many crops in the greatest grow ing season of summer, when, -usually, we got littlo or no rainfall especially needed by sugar beets. S "a But let's take the case of Sa lem. Here we hare canneries and peeking plants that use, at a low estimate, 8,000.000 pounds of Sugar a year. The 0,0 00 people in and within a radius of 10 to IB miles of Salem use, also at a low estimate, C.000,000 pounds more. The state of Oregon, for its rarious institutions, uses about 120,000 pounds annually; three car loads of 40,000 pounds each. S Experiments carried on in Mar ion county, in 1910 and 1917, showed that we hare scores of sections with land that will pro duce IS tons or more of sugar beets to the acre, with better than 15 per cent sucrose (sugar) eonteot. Not one type of land only; several types. That means around fire tons of sugar to the acre. Figure it yourself. Take IS short tons of beets from an acre. You get 30, 000 pounds. Multiply that by IT per cent sucrose content, and you get (.100 pounds. And the ex periments showed some IS per cent beets in sucrose content, la unfavorable seasons. And some better than lS-ton yields. None of the land was irrigated. V Figuring not too liberally, on the-arerage per capita consump tion In the United States, ot abore 110 pounds of sugar an nually, and allowing an average Increase of population for only a few years, and we can count on 16,000,000 pounds annually of sugar needed in metropolitan and suburban Salem. S The beets to make this much sugar can be grown om 3,000 acres of our Isnd. Easily, where irrigation can be had. V S Sugar beets are a cultirated and they are also a rotation crop, and one ef the best. They leare the land in prime condition for BEST INSURANCE POLICY IN WORLD GUEST OF COLES MISSION BOTTOM.

The 3000 acres in sugar beets could be spared for that crop, and Increase the total yield in othe crops rotated on the 3,000 acres ot land. S S Nearly all our principal onea are or ought to be rotation crops. Only a single exception occurs oft hand to the mind of the writer onions on our- typo of soil such as is found la the Lake Labish section; beaver dam land. Flax is, almost abore all others, necessarily a rotation crop. In tha best flax growing sections ot Europe, it is always siren a ser- en-year rotation. It should hare at least a four to fire year rota tion with us; serea is safer. to Insure against blight, the oal7 ratal flax disease so far known. After beeta, or after flax, any crop will be an lmprored one. Beets aid dairying more than an other crop. The tops and the pulp both make especially fiae feed in the dairying ration: and swine and poultry breeding come in for direct and indirect bene fits. S H .au mis means intensive use or laud, without draining the soil of fertility. The sugar beet sec tions of erery country are the richest and the most uniformly prosperous. Also, the manufac turing end sustains the cities and towns near the beet fields Cheap sugsr, with high freights eliminated, stimulates many col lateral Industries fa which sugar supplie a large part of the raw materials. . "u An organizer with the proper Qualifications, including honesty and ability as the prime requis ites, could mold enough Salem district farmers into a cooperative concern to secure the erection here of a beet aagar factory, with out the inrestment of money capital. That could be had from the federal government, on such terms as could bo met; the in terest paid and the principal amortized, and still leave the growers a living chance from the first, and handsome returns after the capital had been fully repaid. There is nothing more stable then sugar. Its per capita use grows constantly. Our cannery aad packing house use of the staple wUl grow Indefinitely, in good times and bad, the demand is and will be steady. There is no chemical differ ence between caae and beet sugar. They are both sucrose. More sugar to the acre can be produced to the aero In the Salem district than the arersge from cane in th United States; and the indi rect benefits faror beet sugar two or three to one, or .more. H Equipment machinery for sugar beet manufacturing is now made tor small plants. A fac tory might be started tor using the product ot 3.000 acres or less; This has not been true up till a few years ago. - Formerly the requirement called for the product of T.OOrto 10,000 of 12, 099 acres, and this meant an In restment . running aroand a mil lion dollars or mora, . depending somewhat upon the cost of sits and buildings for a considerable acreage, la preferable, tor a large plant. r-- In time, beet sugar factories will be established in many ot the cities and towns ot the Wll- lamette ralley. The era ot large project irrigation is in the .of fing. That will make this the ideal beet sugar section - of the United States. One ot the reasons is the f act that we are free, or practically so. from the' danger or the beet leaf hopper. Wo lack only Irrigation to make sure good crop, and one maturing early enough to get the beets out of the ground before fall rains make that part of the work dif ficult.

Evelyn Howard, whom Fane ho n had met on a voyage) from Hawaii, is aboard. She is enroute to New Tork to Ure with her wealthy aunt, Mrs. Allison Carstalrs, whom ahe has nerer neen. The plane crashes and all but Fanchoa are killed. Grasping the opportunity to start life anew, Fanehon goes to the Carstalrs' homo as Erelyn. Mrs. Carstalrs affection wins her heart. At Southampton, awaiting the arrival of her son, Collin, Mrs. Carstalrs warns Fanehon not to take him seriously. Ho ar rives and accuses Fanehon of be ing there under false pretenses. Collin objects to "Evelyn". He alludes to Evelyn's Hawaiian es capades. CHAPTER XIV "It was clear to me why you gave my mother's name as refer ence to the San Francisco school and why your professional refer ences did not date from the Ha waiian period. Naturally, a school which bad dispensed with your serrices because ot your conduct was not going to supply you with references! I suppose you told the People in San Francisco that your stay in the Islands hsd been in the nature of a risk. If you told them anything. Fanchon's mind was working furiously. Evidently Evelyn had left Hawaii under some sort of cloud. Evidently this Collin Cor- stalrs had had her looked up and naa touna out an about it. And, rery evidently, she hid given Jennie's nsme as her nearest rel ative and had refrained from telling the people in her last po sition anything of her Island ex periences. Now that Fanehon looked hack, ahe recalled that on the boat during their mutual journey, Erelyn had questioned her knowledge ot the school in which Erelyn had taught in Ha waii, and. finding that she knew aothing. had dropped the sub ject. 'I dislike", said Fanehon. coldly, "all this hinting and lm plying. Please endearor to make yourself a trifle clearer, Mr. Car- stairs. He lifted an eyebrow. "Must I dear cousin ? "I am afraid so. For," she went on, "you labor, rery eri dently, under a false apprehen sion." "I think not," he said smooth ly. "In the first place, shortly after your arrival in Hawaii, you compromised yourself rather se verely with a naval officer. A married man. "When the story broke and you were questioned, you swore in tears that you had not known Commander Gaines was married, although his story did not sgree with yours. He said he had told you . . . and that very distinctly, i our employers, however, gave you the benefit of the doubt, whereupon you distinguished yourself by a rery indiscreet. rery sentimental flirtation, let us call it, with a native who was employed in a minor capacity about the school. "Ton interested yourself in his welfare, you gave him lessons In English, you entertained yourself with . . . shall we. call it getting back to nature with Hawaiian nature? The man was young, handsome, and gifted. He was also a rather simple soul. He un derstood that you were willing to marry him. . . When you refused. In righteous anger aad horrorH he made a scene. A scene which nesrly cost you your life. When it came to the ears and eye of the school directors, you were imme diately persuaded to sail tor San Francisco." Fanehon was scarlet. Evelyn Erelyn! She felt a pang of pity for the silly, weak, selfish and in sincere girl who played with fire and lied her way out ot it. No use to protest This man knew whst he was talking about. Was, she wondered, waa everybody es caping from something T She had thought herself the only deeper' ate person aboard that ill-fated thus get. here or near by, the second, and so on besides many new concerns using sugar in their processes, v Maraschino fac tories, for lnstsnce, to mention only one. "Some day, why not now?" in the language of the trite adver tising slogan. piano. But Evelyn, in her way, had been as desperate. "Have rod, she asked steadily. "adequate proofs ot all yon say?" Ha looked at her witn some thing approaching admiration. She had not, he told himself, turn ed a hair. And her eyes, rery calmly on his own, very beauti ful, wero not the eyes ot guilt or shame. "Yes," he answered shortly, otherwise I would not hare made my accusations. "Your mother knows?" ask ed Fanchoa and leaned forward. curiously Intent upon his answer. "Well, naturally," he answereo in some astonishment, "People . acquaintances of hers, who knew of your relationship to us, and who happened to be in Ha waii, and to hare heard the gener al scandal, wrote her. It was that which determined her to write yen to make yonr home with us. She did so, therefore, after you had been la Saa Francisco a time. It took her a little while to ar range matters, to find out your address after you had left the school. Naturally, you left no forwardlna address! She said . . . that you should be given your chance. I agreed. She, therefore, wrote you and asked you to come. But in your acceptance and in your subsequent letters you told her nothing, made no mention ot the circumstances under which yon had left Hawaii. That, I con- fess. Is what antagonised me. i was willing," said Collin, "to ov erlook all that had gone before, your parents' attitude toward my mother, and what at the time, ob- riously. your own. Loyal to them. you were. I could nnderstano that, for I was loyal to my moth er. But this silence, this nalre acceptance of everything my mo ther offered in, I must say, bar ing read your letters, a most righteous and I-deserre-U-spIrit was not calculated to make me wish to recelre you with friend ship." 'So she ksew all the time:" "Yes, of course," Collin an swered impatiently. He was astonished to see the girl's mouth quirer, her eyes mist ever. He could not know mat her heart was going out to Jennie Carstalrs in a rush of warm, it vicarious, gratitude. She was re membering the way in which Jennie had taken her to her heart; ahe was remembering the utter lack of reproach, of men tion of any ot this story to her. She was recalling Jennie's embar rassed little apology for what she knew Collin's attitude would be , "loyal." she had said of him But she had not mentioned by word, look or gesture the things she knew about Erelyn Howard She had merely waited for the rlrl herself t6 confess. The con tesslon had not come, yet Jennie had not changed one iota toward her in her attitude of affection and consideration. Well." asked Collin, "hare you anything to say tor your self? Hare you anything to tell mr mother In your own de fense?" Just a moment." said Fan ehon. suddenly. "Please tell me by what right you set yourself up as a judge ot me? Is your own life so perfect that you can af ford to judge and condemn me, Mr. Carstalrs?" He bad the grace to flush. "No. I doa't condemn you . what you did or left undone," he said slowly. "I simply condemn your attitude ot self-righteous ness toward my mother. That s all." Fanehon said: "I see. There is no use in my trying to deny your accusations I think I know you well enough eren In this brief time, to real ise thst you 'Would not hare ac cepted mere hearsay. I am right am I not, in concluding thst you hare been in communication with " she hesitated, realising that she did not know the name ot the school or the people who ran it "with those quite con rersant with the situation," she went on, after a brief pause. He nodded. His eyes were in tent upon his own. Hers did not falter in their brilliant blue gaze, rery direct, rery lOTely. "I hare nothing to say in my defense," Fanehon went on, "ex cept that it is possible that ap pearances were against me.
