Value of Newspaper Reccgnized By Big Business Concerns The secretary of a largo building and loan association recommends newspaperadvertising as the most effective an 1 economical means o reaching the public and urges the a-oociations throughout the United States to create a fund of $1,0 0,- (XX) for 6uch a campaigns. As. Mr. Anderson kuows, it has t een fully d iu .cnstiated that the newspaper stands by itself as o e a tie r of messages to t h : greatest possible number el people. Il is the only medium that is sure to reach the citizens of a community and he read. This fact is being more fully app eciated tveryday.

With 209 bales ot tlax spinning tow clearing for Dublin, Ireland, last Saturlay aboard the steamer Steel Scientist, the total exports ot this commodity have reached a total of 247,736 pounds with a value in excess of $28,000. Since tbe the movement started in August of this year, four parcels have been shipped to Ireland from the state tlax plant at Salem. Early in the year samples were forward­ ed to Belfast fur exam ination and testing purposes, and the quality of the tow proluced in this terri­ tory has proven equal to the best grown in other countries. Seed for the first tlax grown in the Willamette valley was brought in over the Old Oregon Trail in the early forties and at th at time those interested in tbe growing of the tlax found that a very good fibre could he produced from tbe straw ven with etude tools th at were then available.
