Voting Prosperity "M"PVEMBER 8th is election day. After that everything will be hunkydory. Prunes will be worth soniething, woo! will find buyers. Grandpa will suffer less from his rheuma tic; and the old blue cow won't break 6ut of the lower pas ture quite so often. ! , v it is strange this naive faith in the magic of the ballot. Our spellbinders are perhaps responsible for it. Long have they cultivated the idea that in this country the people were sovereign and their votes each quadrennial November would v solve their troubles, lift the loads off their backs, and waft them into seasons of bliss. Thus the sovereign ballot is in vested with powers of transcendent proportions. Alas, for such hopes or fears. The ballot may be some thing of a club, but it is quite impotent in the face of the grinding laws which are not enacted by legislative bodies. King Canute could not command the tides; nor can the voice of a president or a congress conjure up prosperity. .Pres. Hoover has been unable toi pull the rabbit out of bis hat, try as hard as he could by uttering the magical syllaT bles. i i r . In 1930 there were many who voted for Gov. Meier thinking that he might bring them prosperity. The governor tried ; but the lot of the average man In the state has grown sorrier in spite of the effort. I Is the ballot futile then? Not altogether. Sound govern ment policies must prevail as a shield for the free play of economic laws ; but it is a mistake to believe that prosperity te the private possession of one candidate or one party. The Lord still helps those who chiefly help themselves.

("Cy") Woodworth, Sa lem boy of thd sixties and seven ties, afterward Portland banker, now with offices at 1005 Guar dian building in that city, sends a contribution for this column which reads: m S -'Every city, village or hamlet has its characters. Salem had its quota, and more too. One of the most prominent was Louis Byrne, the baker, whose shop was on Commercial street near the Ladd and Bush bank. S S "He was spoken of as 'Louie Burns' and was loved by the chil dren. They all wanted to go to the bakery. He had a gruff way with the boys; he would shout something at them when they came in, and go after them about something or other, and then slip them a few cookies or a stick of candy or something that boys like. "In the early days bakery goods were not mucn In demand, as the women did their own cooking, and it was consldeied bad form to use bakery bread. The bread was dlf- and from a careful physical exami nation of the afflicted person. Uf course it is not used in treating heart disorders. But the treatment can be more accurately determined after the study of the electro-cardio gram, the picture made by the electro-cardiograph. The manner in which tbe electro cardiogram is made is simpla.- W hen ever a muscle contracts, an electrical change is produced. The heart is a muscle that contracts and pumps the blood through the body. The electrical current generated by the heart may be recorded by con necting a very sensitive instrument for measuring electrical energy. called the "galvanometer," to the ex tremities of the body. The connec tions are made to both arms; to the right arm and left leg; or to the left arm and right leg. The instrument is attached to a sensitive plate and actual photo graphs are made of the various con tractions of the heart. These are studied and compared with the pie tares of a normally acting heart. Any alteration Is quickly recog nized and the actual site of the dis order is determined. It is safe and painless proce dure. No harm can result from this examination. If yon have been ad vised to have an electro-cardiogram do not delay having it made. It will enable your doctor to thoroughly understand your ease. Take advan tage of all the advances that have been made by modern medical sci ence. This method of examination Is an accurate and scientific contribution that has enabled medical science te recognize and overcome ma ay se rious heart ailments. I am telling you about it because every such de vice is helpful towards wiping oat disease. IB.T. Q. What is the cause and core for styes? A. Indigestion and constipation may cause styes, or there may be eye-strain. Correct the former con dition when present. Have the eyes examined to see if gists es are needed. M. E.C Q.

Only valley wheat was obtainable. which is a soft variety with a very low content of gluten (the word 'gluten' was almost unknown then) which made a very soft white bread very flaky. It was de licious to eat. The flakes would peel off easily and the children, when carrying it home, would poke a hole in the straw wrapper and peel off flakes of it until it looked like a rat had .been at it. S S "There was a cracker machine connected with the bakery, prob ably the first cracker machine in the northwest. Soda crackers, they were called. It was a very simple affair. The dough was un through a pair of rollers many times to get It the right consist ency. This dough was then fed through another set of rollers that reduced it to the proper thickness and also fed it onto a draper which ran it under a set of dies that formed the crackers. It was all hand work, and as "the bakery was a sort of bumming place, there was no lack of help to turn the machine, and no cost to Louie. They usually took a few warm crackers for pay. v "He had a mania for attending funerals; it was an obsession with him. He always went whether he knew .the deceased or not. It n-as his custom to bring up the rear of the procession. He wore a light blue overcoat with a caDe lined with red, the same as those worn by the soldiers during the civil war, in fact it was one of the many that wa,i old by the govern ment after the war. "His vehicle was his express wagon drawn by a flea-bitten roan horse. Nearly all the processions passed south on Commercial street. Louis was waiting for it. He would light a fresh cigar, shift his cap to a Jaunty air, ad Just his cigar to an acute angle, mount the seat and bo the cab oose. "When he died he had one of the longest funeral processions that Salem ever had." S Mr. Woodworth, sent with the above a private note to the Bits man, in the course of which he said: "I could go more into detail but did not want to take up too much space.

CHAPTER TWENTT-NINB "Oh, there's thai Mrs. Brown- ley," Pat whispered. "Somehow cant keep my eyes off her." In a large rocker on the veranda thrust from the center of the hotel like a pointing finger toward the sea, Mrs. Brownley sat, dressed in her favorite sand color. The elderly Mr. Drexel was talking eagerly to nrr. The woman was a flattering list ener. Her soft haxel eyes glistened with interest, never wandering. She seemed to settle into a chair in position of Complete repose. Watching her in this listening at titude, it always appeared to Pa trida that here was instinctive womanhood displaying her charms. Without being pretty, Mrs. Brown ley gave an impression of exceeding prettiness. . e m umiao ice moaern gin, never seen in one position long enough to be fully admired, Mrs. Brownley rested in prettiness. Each slow move pointed it, giving one ample time to ponder it. Most of the men knew her, yet she made no noticeable attempt to engage their attention. If they spoke in passing she replied pleas antly; if they stopped to talk- she listened flatteringly. She said little on her side, and appeared always at rest, yet never bored or ab stracted. An aloof but interested spectator of the hectic passing show of life. She would sit for hours on the verandas, in the lounges, moving at mealtime into the dining room or to the pavilion for tea. Sometimes she walked in the gardens or engaged wheel chair for an hour or so. She never danced, rarely swam, and then only in the pool, never in the sea though she was a good swim mer. The men spoke of her as "a love ly little thing." "Heavens knows why," said the women. "She's neither blonde nor brunette; not more than five feet four and must weigh one hundred and forty pounds. She has a lovely nose and eyes, but her mouth is wide, and her jaw really square." Women followed her with their eyes, interested in spite of them selves. Now and then one of them addressed her, driven by curiosity called Lollie Burns; a corruption of Laura. Sh? was married to Johnny Youn.?.

Patricia wondered if she were lonely and what the secret of her charm was. "I'm going to go and talk to her some day, she said. relinquishing her bridle to the page who had run out to meet them. "Why?" Jack asked, giving her his hand. "Oh, I don't know. The women act sort of horrid to her, and she seems so sweet and gracious when people speak to her; yet never for ward and pushing." But, though they looked into each other's eyes many times, Patricia and Mrs. Brownley did not speak during their stay in Palm Beach. "For heaven's sake, where have yon two been?" cried Mary Lou, rushing out to meet them, her round dark eyes alight. Everything about Mary Lou was round and alight when not determinedly bored. Ve looked everywhere for you. Did you forget today was the Indian Sun Dance? Oh, it was too thrill ing. So savage. The women all wore millions bf Bteizgs of glass beads and dresses made of strips of calico sewed crosswise like the American flag, only they had every color, red and yellow .and everything. The skirts were huge and down to their ankles. And the men wore smocks to the knees of the same, with a tight belt at the waist. But they're going to dance again this after noon, if it doesn't cloud up. They won't dance unless the sun shines." "Let's hope the sun shines,' chuckled Jack. "It must have been ravishing.' "It was. Where were you two anyway? Arthur Savage has been looking like a thunder cloud all morning. If the .Indians had seen him they wouldn't hare danced.' She leaned toward Patricia and whispered, "And Mr. Warren has been wandering around like a lost goat or lamb, whichever it is that gets lost." Aloud she added, "He asked me if Td seen you, and I told him 1 hadn't. That you and Jack went rid Lng every morning at some ungodly hour and you hadn't got back this time maybe you d eloped."

One laughed in public no matter what happened. "One doesn't have te elope these days to marry. The old people are too delighted to have that ending." They were joined by he gang." "What are you going to wear to night, Pat?" They all talked at once. "It's fancy dress, you know. No cutting in, I hear, intermissions and programs and everything." "If I don't get my program filled at once IH be scared stiff. At least with cutting in you can keep danc ing. Your first partner has to stick to you till somebody saves him," cried Mary Lou. "I never see yon dancing long with anyone," said Jack. "No, but you never can tell what may happen if men have to walk up to you dispassionately and sign a document to dance with you. It's so coldblooded and legal looking. When he sees you going it wild and wooly he thinks you're a red hot mamma and rushes in and grabs yon off before he's had time to think. Yon have to think over programs." "Come up to my room and see my dress, Pat," demanded Rainey Todd, the gang baby who cultivated a lisp and a vacant stare. "Or I should say, trousers. Pale blue satin with buckles at the knees and a lavender satin coat. I'm so booful in it." Her shallow blue eyes were almost in telligently shining. They dragged Patrieia away. leaving Jack on the veranda. "My dear," Mary Loa whispered. "Mr. Warren was simply wild wjien I told him you hadnt gotten back from your ride. He said: 1 hope they haven't had an accident'." "And his' f aee was positively white," drawled Lita Moore, whose "line" was langour as suiting her tall slinky figure and thin pale face. "He's walked a thousand times out to the road to aee if he could see you." - "Did he say anythinr besides that?" asked Patricia, gloating over J l ramie s misery. .
