Listen: An Indignant ; Jo h n ' Farmer (Batnrally, not M- Teal name) r jshcd the counter, at the States- man" office the.' other; morning. , ' - "Where's the fellow who's writ InR all tais; Bay-Now bologney? - Ill tell him something," John hardly paused for an answer a - he started to .unload, something in this manner: "Who the heck do yon 'spose Is paying any attention to that stuff. Why dont you leave a blank space in your paper if that's all yon got. to write about say, 111 bet you my next year's hay croo there hasn't been $25 spent In Salem today on account of this Bar-'Now rigamorole. "How can us farmers Buy-Now got all. we can do to buy , bread and corn meal, let alone r buying new stores, n davenports and a lot of other things we can get : a f o n g without. Why any dumb fool ougbta know you can't buy when you ain't got no money ..." Right there, gare the reporter the first opening; 'twas only an observation. - ."Well, there won't be any money until more people get work and there won't be- more work for more people unless peo ple who hare a few extra dollars aow spend 'em. But that didn't mean anything to John Farmer, and he let loose again along his own line. But why go into that more? The re porter got an Idea: Why not let the buyers themselves say whe ther or not they are behind President Roosevelt's Buy -Now campaign ? And say, folks, that's where you come in. Merchants say they have no way of checking defi nitely, but they're sure some of the Increased buying this month kas been due to Buy-Now ef forts. And that's the word that's been printed here. But John Farmer says it's a "lotta bologney." Now you, patient reader, can step In and show John Farmer he's all wet, speaking fairly po litely. What have you bought as a direct result of the Buy-Now campaign started In Salem No vember 9 and to continue for one month? Whether it's something big or little, costly or cheap if you bought it because of the Buy Now activities, let's hear about It. Write it down and drop the message to the Statesman, care Buy-Now writer. Of course, if rou want to sign your name, it's fine; your initials will do. Or irop the message on a post card. But come on, let's show John Farmer that Salem is supporting the Buy-Now movement In earnest. t : m Mi' " " "x 1! v 5? -V NO MORE BAR OR bRAJ3 KAJT Consolation for dry losers in the recent repeal fight is seen in the adoption of a stringent set of liquor regu lations by New York State. The old saloon is definitely banned. Liquor may be served with meals or without meals in licensed restaurants, but the drinker must sit at a table no more bars or brass rails or back rooms. Retail liquor stores may sell beverages for home consumption on a strict cash and carry basis, purchases being limited to three quarts to a customer at one time. The regulations, framed by the State Alcoholic Bever age Control Board under chairmanship of Edward P. Mulrooney, may serve as a model whereupon other States may create similar control laws. LICENSED TO WED DALLAS, Nov. 20. A marriage license was Issued, here today to Vernon Richard Thorpe, 27, en gineer, of Dallas, and Kathleen Estelle Wilson, It, clerk, of Oak v Ridge. Bits for Breakfast o vide the guarantees which Dr. Diemel sought. U M. C. McMillan, superintendent of industries for the Minnesota state prison at Stillwater, told the writer, visiting there last year, that the Oregon penitentiary might have a good field for the making of ply goods, from our flax and hemp fiber; that a high ly superior article might be man ufactured here. . S Mrr McMillan3 is a cousin of Is aac E. Staples, state senator from Multnomah county, well known in the Salem district. Mr. McMillan ha3 been at the' head of the pri son industries in his state tor a generation the largest and finest operation of Its kind In the unit ed States, or In tne worm. mm S "W TTa has recently nut in a plant for making ply goods, 'from sisal and manila hemp fiber, mostly tne latter, the former coming from Mexico and East Africa and the latter from the Philippines. Man ila hemp fiber has no relation to that of the plant called hemp. Nearly all ropes are made from manila hemp. He has found a great demand for the ply goods, and he believes there would be ready sale for the higher class goods we could make here from fibers of our own growth. Minne sota cannot grow either. s u s Mr. McMillan's sugges 1 1 o n would apply with equal validity to private plants in the Salem dis trict. But the field is large; said before, it covers over 100 articles of commerce. How would the building and operation of linen mills In the Sa lem district put back on the map neighboring small cities, towns and villages? With the steady and full operation of Salem's present two- linen mills, they would re quire much more fiber than can be turned out from the state plant at the prison. S S With such a plant as Dr. Diemel proposed to build and operate, them wnulrl ha necessarv the pro duction here of several times thetp tonnage of fiber it would use, be cause it would be able to take only the kind in lea (fineness) speci fications needed for its specialty. S So there would have to be, in course of time, retting and scutch ing plants In all the cities and towns of the valley. Organized co operatively, the farmers in the various districts could get federal funds for building these retting and scutching plants and provid ing the extensive warehouse space necessary for them. m S The labor would be drawn from the local sections, and the scutch ing might be carried on through out the wet seasons, or even the whole year, by supplying sprink ling systems, and thus keep boys and girls at home. Instead of obliging them to go away as now to get work and make their ca reers. Had E. H. Harriman lived a few years longer, all this would have come about ere now. He had it under serious consideration, with definite plans. In his last years. Mrs. W. P. Lord, the pio neer flax enthusiast of Oregon, was well aware of this, and act ive In promoting it; the same be ing true as to the plans of Dr. Diemel. The writer has in his files some of the correspondence in connection with it. S If we could now have such leadership, that would enlist the support of all the interests that would largely benefit from the certain doubling of the popula tion of Salem from the securing of the one mill, to make Hnen mesh goods for the American trade. It would prove the best community Investment that could be made and, all our people thoroughly convinced of this, the undertaking could be put over. m Thus Salem's population would be doubled within five years or less, and all the other benefits mentioned would certainly follow. Can the reader think of any other way to double the popula tion of Salem so quickly? Or any other way that would bring about the certain and solid advance ment of the whole central Wil lamette valley? - Belfast Is a metropolitan city of a half million population. And Belfast district linen manufactur ers must import from other coun tries, with tariff duties. 85 per cent of the flax and hemp fibers to supply their raw materials. And they must take what they can get, from Russia, Poland, Holland, France and Belgium, etc., bad, good and Indifferent in quality. And they must stand the tariff charges on their manufac tured goods sent to other coun tries largely the United States. (Continued tomorrow) Rules for Re-Employment Received by Barnes From PW A Counsel : : Migrating ""ex-serviee men ' are not to be given preference over bona tide residents of a. commun ity .where PWA projects are plan- ned, according to a ruling: received yesterday by. E. T, Barnes, man ager of the local federal re-employment office. The opinion re garding the order of preference to be observed, was handed down by B. V. Cohen, associate counsel for federal administration of public works. -f The opinion reports the nation al recovery act was not intended to encourage the migration of la bor from one district to another as this practice would defeat the aims of the administration to pro vide work where the nnemploy ment situation was acute. The vet erans were given a preferential. not an exclusive right, the opinion reported. "The preference accprded, fair ly construed, is not absolute and unqualified, but Is a preference when other conditions are slm liar," the opinion said. "Veteran are entitled to a preference ahead of others in any given group but non-resident veterans are not en titled to preference ahead of res idents." Following is the order of pref erence which will be followed in the hiring of labor for PWA pro Jects. 1 Veterans with dependents, who are residents of the political subdivision or county in which the work Is to be performed. 2 Other citizens and aliens, who have declared their intention of becoming citizens, who "are bona fide residents of such polit ical subdivision or county. 3 Veterans with dependents who are bona fide residents of the state, territory or district in which th ; work is to be performed. 4 Other citizens and aliens, who have declared their intention of becoming citizens, who are bona fide residents of the state, territory, or district, where the work is to be performed. - , Ill I I - II ' " "S"" ' JL- ' ' I III .n ' .111 - Ull .
