Prior to Monday night, it was no acquisition; it was only a heated contention. This local battle began wag ing early last fall when it be came known that the old Fischer Flouring Mill property would be offered for tax sale. A group of citizens headed by Dr. P. A. Loar, who, incidently is president of Silverton's Planning council, decided it was "too good proposition to pass up." The large brick building, these citizens explained, could be used for a recreational center; the office building of concrete could house the public library now being housed in the city hall, and the huge old mill should be torn down as a fire hazard. There were, in addition, over six acres lying along Silver Creek, reaching to the new swimming pool and across the creek from the city park. A subscription list was Started quickly. The first snag was when at a meeting of the library board composed of Mrs. H. B. I itham, Mrs. O. B. Bentson, R. A. Fish and L. F. Tucker, members voted against It as a future home for the library. It gave them no more space than present quar ters, the board explained, and there would be considerable, ex pense In moving. But other uses for the building could be found if the library TH old mlll while in a picturesque setting, Is considered a fire haz didn't want it, the group, headed mrd n now that Silverton owns the property It will be torn down. by Dr. Loar, contended. And then the war came, and the county arranged to let the city use the building for defense head quarters until "such a time as it was sold.". Culmination of the ficht came Monday night at a special meet- ins of the citv council when Dr. P. A. Loar appeared with a sub- scription gift of $1720 to be ap- DUed on tne purchase, one or the most heated arguments heard - a i i a mti in cuy councu cnamoers ai ou- verton for many a year, followed the offer of the money. L.ouncumen u. r . lucKer, k. a. Fish and L. E. Brown voted against both gift and purchase. Their stated reasons Included, too heavy a financial burden on the city already. If we have money to spare we should buy defense bonds now. The city council has no right to spend, the people's money In speculation. n W' i n 'V i - ml,.' ivJ This building will be used as a recreational center by Silverton.

With the decline of the export trade, the Oregon Milling com pany sold the plant first to Ed McKinney and then to John Wolf ard, before finally disposing of it to the Fischers In 1900, the mill was established as the Fischer Flouring mill when Henry F. Bischer came from Cor vallis and bought the plant, im proved it and enlarged it. In 1908, a cereal plant of 250-barrel capacity was added and suchl brands as "Fischer's Oat Flakes,"!

Yet, as I see it, it is one of an old notebook of mine I find this A li fnaa'e iftle Mn4 1 - aut wui m iiieu m veaaa tuiui j exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?" copied from Rob ert Browning's "Andrea del Sarto." - Do you know what it means? I do. It's really the key to suc cess, if you can get it Nor does success consist merely of an abun dance of champagne and caviar. More frequently than not, cham pagne means a headache, and I notice that rugged Oregonians use caviar principally as fish bait Success Is "I Can" Browning was vague. So, lack ing, his profundity, perhaps I can give you the formula in another way. Success begins as a germ deep inside a man's head, where it incubates as a nebulous some thing you probably don't recog nize and then becomes a growth I like to call "I Can." If you per mit this growth to develop, you succeed; if you . don't it dies of starvation. A young man I once knew asked the presideat of the firm that employed ps how he could rise above his fellow workers which was a very clever way to ask for a raise. "By making a specialty of do ing the things others say can't be done." the president said. "Can you do that?" "I can," the youth replied. Solves Business Problem And he did. For instance, the firm's officers met each week to discuss the big problems. At one of these meet ings the president wanted opin ions on the production of an ex pensive article that could be sold for less than half its price at the time, in order to increase its pop ularity. His minions said it just couldn't be done. But the young man did it. He let that germ called "I Can" de velop. Opportunity, of course, helped. But once he got that opportunity, he made the most of it He practically drove the rest of us crazy. It marked his first step upward, and today he wears a crown literally stud ded with jewels of success. Another man I know was 35 and a failure, when he discovered he had an "I Can." Today he's vir tually the brains and work horse of a big daily newspaper. He sets the policies, dictates the edi torials, writes a daily column with scarcely ever a dull line, and still finds time to do more work on a copy desk than any four of the ten hired hands who wield the blue pencil. He also writes for the magazines, gives lectures and, they say, spends about eight hours I a day just sitting and hating golf and bridge. So, yon see, all you have to do is grow an enormous "I Can" and chase it until your tongue hangs out. If the for mula can be of any help to you, you're welcome to it. I've kept It as a sort of pet secret for around twenty years now and am glad to be rid of it. Meantime, will somebody please tell me how to pay off some pretty big debts that are long overdue?

In Small Books On Yuletide Are Popular By JOHN SELBY The publishers suddenly have broken out in a rash of little books suitable for use as Christ mas greetings. Some seem more suitable than others, and the au thors are, in a few cases, rather surprisingly chosen. ' But there will be little room for comment so here are some of the titles Fad In Australia Vicki Baum has brought forth "The Christmas Carp," which seems to be something they have in Australia. Or had. Edna Fer- bers contribution is modern Christmas story called "No Room at the Inn." David Grayson has produced "A Day of Pleasant Bread;" Robert P. Tristram Cof fin "Christmas in Maine;" Rufus M. Jones "The Shepherd Who Missed the Manger " and Frank Norris "The Joyous Miracle. These books come in transparent tissue slips and look a bit more like the usual gift book than might be expected of a Christmas greeting. (Doubleday, D o r a n each $.50). Drawing Books Gay There is another, and somewhat gayer, group which depends more on drawings than on text Hans Bendix is represented here with "The Lady Who Kept Her Prom ise;" Hendrik Willem van Loon and his musical collaborator, Grace Castagnetta, with a few pages of Christmas music called "Good Tidings;" Jane Miller with "Lulu," who iff a poodle and has adventures on Christmas. Edward Milson with poetry and illustra tions combined In "Blow High Blow Low;" Manuel Komroff with "A Christmas Letter" illustrated by himself; Rockwell Kent with "A Northern Christmas," and there are other books by Rus sell T. Limbach, Grant Reynard, Roger Duvoisin, Ilonka Karasz, and a second book by Komroff. American Artists Group; $.50). New Panorama Books And finally, as if the little book craze had expanded horizontally into something as thin, but wider and longer, we have the first five examples of a new venture called 'Tanorama Books." These are survey books, each of which con tains some text and some illus trations, and none of which pre tends to be exhaustive, or even very thorough. The five include, "American Bridges and Dams," by Paul Zucker; "From Covered Wagon to Streamliner," by Edward Hunger ford; Henry Pratt Fairchild's "Main Street;" Myrtle B. Mc Graw's "The Child in Painting," and "The Rembrandt Bible," by Oswald Goetz. Very likely these just happened along at this sea son, but they would do nicely on the Christmas tree.

In a country faraway, an old, old woman named Babouscka sat in her snug little home by the fire. How glad I am that I can stay indoors," said Babouscka, warm- ing her hands at the blaze. But suddenly there was a rap at the door. She opened it and there were three old men stand- ing in the snow. Their beards were white as the snow and reached to the ground. Their arms were full of precious things boxes of jewels and sweet smelling oils and ointments. "We have travelled far, Ba bouscka," they said, "and we atop to tell yon of the Baby Prince born this night in Beth lehem. He eomes to rule the world and to teach all men te be loving and true.' We carry Him gifts. Come with us, Ba bouscka." But Babouscka looked at the snow and then at her cozy room and the warm fire. "It is too late Mr. Price FDR's Censor Chief Real Newspaperman By S. J. WOOLF NEW YORK, Dec 20-(Wide World) -Last Tuesday President Roosevelt laid his cigarette on the edge of his desk and, smiling at the reporters who filled the ex ecutive office, told them he had news of vital interest to them. Then he went on to announce that he had appointed Byron Price di rector of censorship. He did not have to tell any one who Byron Price was. Most of the newsmen knew the new appointee, many were his friends. For he had worked In Washington for t w e n t y-twe years. He went there first as a reporter for the Associated Press, later be- came xu, i iiiumjr wu maue uuu ui lis uu- reau. Five years ago he come to New York to become executive news editor of the entire service. I saw Mr. Price the day after he was named. He was still somewhat surprised, for he had heard of it but a day or two be fore the announcement was made. He posed for me In his office in Rockefeller Center. Not a paper was on his desk. I thought that this was In prep aration for his moving, bat I learned later that no matter how busy he was, this was the way he always kept it How ever, he would have seemed more at home surrounded by copy paper, scissors, paste pot and typewriter. For he looks like a newspaperman and he has a certain easy manner that all men who have sent years in' gathering news have. Big, heavy set a large black cigar in his mouth, there was little formality about his appearance or manner. He took off his large steel framed glasses and told me to go ahead and shoot but before I had gone very far with my sketch I realized that unless I were careful the man I was sup posed to interview would learn more about me than I would about him. "Censorship is nothing new to me," he said after he got settled In a large leather chair.

So when it was morning, Ba- bouscka put on her cloak and took her staff and filled her basket with the pretty things a baby would like gold balls, wooden toys, and strings of silver cobweb, But oh, Babouscka had forgot ten to ask the three old men the road to Bethlehem and they had travelled so far through the night that she could not overtake them, Up and dowa the road she hurried, through fields and woods and towns, saying to whomever she met "I go te find the Christ Child.

He was my father, and he did not approve of some of the things I had written about my relatives." The result was that young Price had to wait until he entered high school before he again could sat- isfy his reportorial cravings. Later while did work for , of papers. After hi graduation he joined the Feudalism to World Power To Disaster AP Feature Service Doughty Commodore Matthew C. Perry sailed into Uraga harbor, Japan, in 1853, heading a large US -naval squadron. He accom-J plished the design to frighten the Japanese into friendly trade with the United States, breaking, her hostile isolation. Perry's act also started Japan on its way from feudalism to a world power. Up to 1931, the U.S. looked on approvingly.

So she travelled on and on and oa for years and years, but she never found the little Christ Child They say that old Babouscka is travelling rtflL looking for Him.

(Next: the Ftrrt Christmas Tree) United Press for a few months and on December 18, 191T, went with the Associated Press. This is the second time that Mr. Price has asked for a leave of absence. In 1918 he went to France as an infantry captain. Now he goes to Washington to take over his new duties. He will not speak about what he is going to do, for he says he cannot tell until he takes over. One thing is certain, however. and that is that he will not forget that getting news is a reporter's Job and publishing it a paper's function. He fully realises that la ways his Job Is rotng U be a thankless one, for as Presideat Roosevelt pat it "all Americans hate censorship as much as they de war." His chief work will be that of coordination, of seeing that the releases of one department are not cross purposes with those of another. Up to the present this has not been done. Only recently an American correspondent in one of the war areas in speaking over the radio told certain facts. Yet when he incorporated these in an article for his paper the censor cut them out. Although Mr. Price would say little about what he was going to do, he had much to say about papers and their functions. "I have felt strongly - he told me, "that for some time before we entered the wax our papers were playing It ap toe much. I have never hesitated In sayiar this. This does not mean that I did not realize the importance or gravity of what was rotnr on but that I felt that there were other sabjeets which were also of importance. "Despite the war, the world will go on. Even now with us in it Santa Claus must get around and there are reindeer down there in the plaza. In times such as these the paper must not forget that there are still some light things in life. "Of course, it is to be expected that for the next few weeks the war will take- ud most of the space. The people are entitled to know what is happening, no matter whether the news is good or bad. I do not believe in living in a root's paradise. The only news that should be kept secret is that which will aid our enemies.
