I was very miserable and when Tom asked liim what day they could expect hiin he replied: "I shan't get down Tom. I explain ed to John that it would be impossible." I was delighted. The more so that I had not mentioned either his going or his remaining at hoi.?e with me. "He is becoming tired of them," I said to myself, and rejoiced that it was so. The holidav week passed quietly, and THE AUTOMOBILE OUTLOOK The automobile makers are just now all at sea as to their output and are unable to say just how many cars they can deliver, when they can deliver them, or if they can deliver any at all after a short time. Like everything , else this is "on account of the war." The government wants 125,000 auto trucks, and is go ing to have them if it ha.4 to commandeer every auto plant in the country. The Cadillac plant has been practically taken over and the Maxwell expects to be commandeered before the week is out. The Ford plant has a contract for making $60,000,000 worth of airplane engine parts, which great as its plant is, makes a big inroad on tne output 01 pleasure cars. Dodge Brothers are building a 40 acre plant for the purpose of filling a contract for $30,000,000 worth of trucks and engine parts for the government, and so it goes clear down the line. There is another thine: that may interfere with the making of pleasure cars even to a greater extent, and this, too, is on account oi tne war. it is tne scarcity oi lerru chrome steel. Much of the ore from which this is made is imported, and the scarcity of ships has almost stopped this. What there is is needed by the government and there is not a pound for use m auto making, and this is the steel used for this purpose.. Its use for any work ex cept that demanded by the government has been forbid den, and without it the making of automobiles is practical ly .impossible. This means under the most favorable circumstances that there will be a shortage of autos, at least of new one3. It also means that the persons wanting cars in the near future may have to go without unless satisfied with a second-hand one. The new Dodge plant mentioned will employ above 8,000 men and these will get away with much material now going into pleasure cars. Ford, in addition to mak ing trucks is manufacturing a big order of steel helmets. Apparently, if reports irom tne east are true, ana tnere is no reason to doubt this, the time to buy an auto is right now while the buying is both good and possible. The people of Salem and vicinity are called upon to subscribe along with the rest of the United States to the Y. M. C. A. war fund. General Pershing is loud in his praises of the good work being done so efficiently by this great organization, and of the real help it is to the boys in the trenches. There is nothing too good for our boys over in France fighting for the freedom of the world and for the safeguarding of America. What we may give is as nothing to what some of them must put into the scales. We can get more money, but the boy whose life blood is poured out in our defense pays the supreme price, and for him there is only the grave. Just imagine your boy is there, if he is not, and then give as you would give to make his conditions more livable and his lot more pleas ing. Put your own boy in the scales and see how many dollars it will take to balance them. all kindness and thoughtf ulness for all, and if he regretted being unable to join John Kendall 's party he gave no sign. "It has been the y best holiday week I have ever known! " I declared the morning of the second of January; the day the house party was to break up, "It has Ix'en just perfect." "1 am very glad you have been so happy Margaret," Bob responded, and I didn't think until afterward that he had said nothing about enjoving him self. Elsie came in that afternoon just bubbling over with tunc anent the good time she had had at the house party. "It was perfectly wonderful, Margar et! How Bob would have enjoved it. John spared neither expense nor pains to give us a good time. We danced, and skated and motored, and had private theatricals. Everv miuute was filled with something." "So was our holiday time, Elsie," I replied, "and as for Bob I imagine he was just as happy with me as he wonld have been at the party. We had a de lightfully quiet week, and I know it was better for both of us than it would have been had we gone with vou." "All right, Margaret! but "i don't The governor gave the flax industry of the state a hard blow yesterday when he asked Mr. Crawford to resign the position of superintendent of the plant at the prison. The reason he gave was that there was too much friction between the superintendent and the warden of the prison. As to this we know nothing, but it would seem that some way could have been found for getting rid of the friction without removing the only man who has ever made a suc cess of the flax experiment. Mr. Crawford has done this as his statement as to what has been accomplished shows. Up to his taking charge the experiment had proved a fail ure. Mr. Crawford took charge in August, 1916, when the" crop was still in the fields, and there was neither money to do anything, or much of enything to do with. ne inaugurated tne Jburopean svstem oi tank rettine. for e, happily, we made very mtie rviiilr frio TonL-o Wo Violr, f o, ' f ss U(1 gave each other our simple .... , """ ";F" w ""c-(remclnbran(.es on Christmas Eve.

The legislature loaned or advanced $10,000 to carry on the work with the under standing the money was to be paid back from the earn ings and profits of the plant. Mr. Crawford says there is now, alter all bills to date are paid, the sum of $9,500 available for this payment. Besides he shows there is on hand material in the way of fiber, retted flax and un retted straw and seed a total of $26,000. The highest price received for the fiber turned out at the Dlant nreviously was 26 cents, and this owing to its poor quality. Under Mr. Crawford's management the product is so improved in quality that it is worth 46 to 48 cents. A letter from the California Cotton mills that purchased from the prison plant spoke highly of the product and asked the privilege of doing some figuring with Mr. Crawford as to its purchase before it was sold to others. This company used the product in making twine and found it first class tor the purpose. Just why the governor took the bits in his teeth and stuck his butcherknife into the industry he may know, but no one else does. There is an old saying that "put a beggar on horseback and he will ride to "the devil." The governor has evidently enlisted in the cavalry. Many young Japanese are reported leaving-Calif ornia for home, and this is causing considerable speculation as to the reason. It is possible some arrangement has been made by which Japan will send an army to the front, but this seems improbable from the difficulties of transporta tion. The revolution in Russia puts a new phase on the matter too, for naturally if Japan was to take an active Y n iv 4r -v urn m r.ltA titAnl ,-3 l . ...

The exchange of notes between his country and Japan recognizes Japan's especial interest in China, and places that nation in the same position with relation to her that we are to the balance of the Americas. The Monroe doctrine is made to apply to China with Japan given our permission at least to enforce it. At the same time this move has secured from Japan a solemn promise that she will not undertake to .work China harm. The arrange ment is the best thing possible for China, for it puts Japan on record and Japan looks upon a treaty as very much more than "a scrap of paper." Judge Gantenbein, the patriot who wants a colonel's pay before he will serve his country, should by all means be taken care of. And the governor, of course, may be relied to provide a fat place for the jurist-soldier, even if he has to create a job because Gantenbein's party loyal ty was never questioned, even if his loyalty to nation has to be bought and paid for in advance. Berlin admits the German drive in Italy has been checked at the river Piave. If it remains checked the kaiser has made his last drive into foreign territory. He will find the way out much harder to travel than the road in. However, success so far has served to hearten the German people at home, as well as some of those in this country, for they do not realize that the fish is on the hook and that the harder he struggles the quicker he will be exhausted. The artists have decided that the eagle on American coins to be made shall have his wings outstretched. The "great masses" are not particular as to what the great bird does with his wings just so he flys home to them with the coin a trifle more frequently. They do draw the line, however on having the bird rigged up "like a cowboy with chaps and spurs as President Roosevelt had him dressed up.
