BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY
For if ye live after the flesh, ye thall die: but if ye throwjh
the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Roman 3:13.
If Somewhere Else
If the proposed linen mill were only to be located in the
heart of that tropic garden of Eden off the coast of Sinalba
known as Falmeto del Verde, instead of Salem, there would
be a lot of our fellow citizens waiting in line to invest ; if it
were in some mythical timber belt promoted by a convicted
swindler, good citizens of Salem would be fulling over them
selves to buy ; or if it were a wild-cat oil well in Texas or
Panama or some other distant oil-less region, or a remote
gold or copper mine where gold and copper never grew, how
the Salem money would roll in 1
If, instead of being 7 percent preferred stock in a local
enterprise designed to build-up the city and develop the
country, the investment were in 7 or 8 percent bonds of some
shaky foreign nation on the verge of collapse and revolution,
how popular the investment would be; or if it were in the
high interest bearing securities of some faraway bankrupt
community, what a harvest the high-powered salesmen
would reap in Salem !
In the past few years, Salem investors have lost enough
money in get-rich-quick schemes and fly-by-night frauds to
build several linen mills. They have invested enough in
foreign securities to make the valley a textile center. They
have, in addition, actually financed paper mills in Vancouver,
Washington, and St. Helens, and in short have been and are
keen for any investment outside Salem.
But we cannot build a city by sending money made in it
away to create payrolls in other communities, nor by boosting
realty prices, raising rents and letting the other fellow do it
for our own benefit in Salem. We will have to , cooperate
each do his share, throw off lethargy, shake indifference,
bury cupidity or herald to the woild that we lack enterprise,
progress and public spirit.
The linen mill is not asking a donation, nor a gift, but
offers an investment in the best security for the rapid
upbuilding of the city and permanent development of coun
try and state.

"I can only wait until I Bt to
Hollywood to help mother out ot

this nhjht belong to me and from
across the world I shall again try
to call Hob's spirit to me." 1
At the thought her face crew ra

you."
Lillemay panse.1 a sleepless night
Although many times she closed
her eyes and with all her mind
tried to go to sleep thinking of
Rob, she found that neither sleep
nor Rob came to her.
Instead the affair of her mother
And Hurcld Kennedy could not be
dislodged from her brain.
Step by step she went over her
conversation with Harold until
finally she came to the conclu
sion that his ambiguity of expres
sion In his conversation with her
in the afternoon waa only proof of
his cleverness
"If I did not have the perfect
understanding of him that I have
his conversation might have meant
anything to me," U 11 may mused
"Jt might have meant that he was

knowing him aa I do, I know he
U not In love with either of us.
"He Intends to marry one of us,
however, and he does not want at
this moment to burn either of his
bridges behind him.
"He knows he will have greater
influence over mother and her af
f.iirs than he would over me and
mine even if I, as he thinks In his
conceit, have abto succumbed to his
fascination. Consequently he will
r.iarry mother if she has enough
money left for him to carry on,
All night long Lillemay went
over the situation, but the morn
ing found her further from a solu
tion than when she wcr.t to bed.
As soon as it was light she got
up and dressed and went out on
ihe observation platform.
Dawn always had a calming ana
peaceful effect upon Lillemay.
u'hiiA he was in school in Ge
neva she had formed the habit of
rislr.g early to watch the glorlou
birth of each new tiay.
There had always been for her
ho much promise in the sunrise, it

Much of her Joy in the eailv
mnrnintr jhe had always inou.ni
was because she saw first thU
great plienonenon of unrwe nmons

shall I ever know without nny
doubt within my soul that what
ever comes, life is still good.
Very different was the dawning
that erected her eyes as sne open
ed the door onto the observation
platform.
There was not a sound except
the grinding and rushing nf the
wheels. Once in a while rhe long
raucous call of the enai.io whistle
cut the ah. As far ss the eye
could see the whole flat vuta
through which the train was ?peed
ins i-eemed loathe to wake. Even
the sun which was rising just be
yond the dis'int horizon was only
a great brass- hall ansry at its
tmpotonce lo brln back Ufa to

Flat reaches of snni stretched
before aa far as her eyes could
travol. A dull purple have was
over all a hato which here and

The discrt made Lillemay feel

BRINGING UP FATHER
By Gcnree McManus
The Florida Idea
Attention of Senator Bruce Dennis and othsr statesmen
who would duplicate for Oregon the prosperity of Florida by
placing a ban upon income and inheritance taxes is called to
ihe fact that while the absence of taxation makes the hearts
of the rich irrow fonder, it is the refusal of Florida to enforce
the prohibition .laws that has made the state beloved by both
rich and poor.
Jn speaking of conditions in the Everglade state, Frank B.
Knofe, a writer in the New York Evening World says:
Ono thing that Is giving Impetus to the boom muat he "whinnered."

ono of Miami's leading citizens, has not lifted his voice In protest.
Hut he does lift his voice every day at a noonday booster meeting in
one of Miami's great real estnto developments at so much per "lift."
A rival development has Cllda Cray as a counter attraction. Hrynn

long as the money rolls in, he will be quite willing to barter
dryness for prosperity.
Prohibition Is a law that only affects the poor anyway,
slipped over without a popular referendum by the trusts and
captains of industry, financed by the Rockefellers, Garys and
Fords, because a sober serf is more profitable. The rich have
all the booze they want and always will. The stricter the law
is enforced, the higher the price, and the higher the price the
more money and greater incentive for violation, so the supply
meets the demand, completing a vicious circle that excludes
only the poor.
It is no secret, if Oregon wants to get into Florida's class
nd become to the west coast what Florida is to the east coast
mecca for both the rich and the ioor, all we have to do is to
swallow the Florida idea whole.
