THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL ' Is tho only newspaper in Salem whoso circulation is guaranteed by the ' Audit Bureau Of Circulations itself. Those huge flying machines, meant for; deadly warfare, may now be turned to the purposes of peace. It opens new vistas of transportation, making what until lately all but the most imaginative persons scouted. Forty passengers are almost as many as ride in an or dinary railroad coach. That British plane has a lifting power of nine tons, in addition to its own weigh. It might be readily seen how it could be used to carry mail or val uable merchandise on a big scale. ' We shall yet have fleets of these planes--and larger ones stills-roaring their way from city to city all over the United States. THE LUCKY PROPHET. There is at least one prophet in the country who seems destined to enjoy the fruits of his successful pro phecviner. He is a barber in a little Pennsylvania town. Some time last winter, as the story goes, this boy was shaving the father of one of the "our boys over there." The barber, in course of his conversation, expressed the belief that the war would be over before Christmas. I he idea Dleased the bov's father. In fact, it sounded so good to him that he said he would gladly give the barber and family a turkey dinner, with a band playing outside tne house while they ate it, if only the barber's prophecy would come true. ; The barber, it seems, forgot the incident. Not so the proud parent. When the armistice was signed re cently this happy father went right to the barber and announced that he was prepared to keep his word. Of course, the war is not legally over, and will not be until the peace terms are concluded. It is not likely, however, that hostilities will be resumed for the allies have the Germans pretty much where they want them at this time. ' If, that barber is a real patriot as well as a lucky prophet, he will not accept the turkey dinner unless it complies with all government food regulations. The boys who won the war, and brought about the desired peace which the barber "only prophesied, have first right to turkeys, stuffing, pies, cake, bread and other good things that take their rightful place in that particular kind of a feast. ' Still on this happy Thanksgiving day it looks as if there would be plenty of good things to eat for soldier and civilian alike, ere the Christmas bells voice again their message of ponce and good will, and it is more than likely that particular father s boy will be at home again to participate in the joyful celebration. THE FORTY-PASSENGER PLANE. The Malhuer Enterprise reprints the following very excellent advice to businessmen: "No business man in any town should allow a newspaper published in his town to go without his name and business being mentioned some where in its columns, says an exchange. This applies to all kinds' of businessgeneral stores, drygoods, groceries, furniture dealers, manufacturing establishments, automo bile dealers, mechanics, professional men and in fact all classes of business men. This does not mean that -you should have a hole or a half or even a quarter page add in every issue of the paper, but your name and business should be mentioned if you do not use more than a two- line space. A stranger picking up a 'newspaper should be able to tell just what business is represented m a town by looking Nat the business mentioned in the paper. This is. the best possible town advertiser. The man who does not' advertise his business does an injustice to himself and his city. He is the man who expects the newspaper to do the most free advertising for his town. The man who insists on sharing the business that comes to town but re fuses to advertise his business is not a valuable addition to any town. The life of any town, depends upon the live, wide-awake and liberal advertising business men.M Loganberries, prunes and cherries have made Salem the greatest fruit center in the northwest. And if our people handle this business right we may be handling more fruit business than any other city on the Pacific coast. 6 Bell-ans Hot water Sure Relief BELL-ANS FOR INDIGESTION That next war loan we have to raise may come rath er hard, seeing that war's enthusiasm will be over. But it may comfort us to realize that about the same time we start raising our "Last War Loan" the Germans will be asked to subscribe to their "First Indemnity Loan." Billy Sunday says he is "working to beat hell," and there is nothing profane about the' statement if you take it literally. All airplane carrying records were outdone on No vember 17, when a Handlcy plane made a trial trip over London with 40 passengers, The largest number of per sons previously carried by any airplane was 20. Germany may well have congratulated itself on that remarkable flight. It was only by a fortunate chance that ;t was not made over Berlin, with a crew of hostile aviators raining death and destruction, instead of over the British metropolis with a harmless cargo of civilians. It was built especially for the pmpose of bombing Ber lin, but was completed three days after the signing of the armistice. Others are now nearing completion. As matters stand, the whole world may congratulate RIPPLING RHYMES By Walt Mason CHANGE OF SUBJECTS. We've talked so long of shell and shot, of captains and of kings! The time has come at last, I wot, to speak of other things. Let's turn our thoughts from Fetrograd to places nearer home; we need good roads and need them bad, and hence this stirring pome. For years we've struggled through the muck, in weariness and grief, and only said, when we were stuck, "It is no time to beef." We floundered through the muddy pools, across the reefs and bars, and lost ou,r horses and our mules, and mired our costly cars. We said, "Until this war shall cease, our woes can't be discust; but when arrives the dawn of peace, we'll have good roads or bust." We've talked so long of battle that we may find it hard to turn to other, milder stunts: our spirits may be jarred. We've railed so long ' at Kaiser Bill that we may think it stale to talk of grad- inz down a hill, or filling up a vale. But it is wise to talk good roads instead of bones and blood; the farmers can not haul their loads because of endless mud. There is no bottom to the pike when comes a sudden shower; I cannot scorch as I would like, at fifty miles an hur.

CLAUD BECKLY ANNOYS AND EN LIGHTENS RUTH. ciurTEitxcvn. Ruth liad scarcely hung up tho receiv er when, elie regretted her action. It was far better to work, to havo some thing to occupy her mind, than to sit at home, worrying. But she couldu't very well be sn vacilnting as to change her mind; so she fussed about the apart ment, gossiped, or tried to. with Rachel then after a whilo went Out for a walk. Her head still ached dully, and her eyes felt heavy because of her tears of the night before. "Suppose I were jealous and let him see it every time ho is with Mollio King," alio 'said to herself as she walk ed slowly through the park. ''Ho surely has been with her many times wheu I havo been away." 8ho stood still regardless of tkoso near her, (Suppose because of her po sition, because of the' necessity that she should frequently be absent from home, she should lose Brian- that Mollio or uiueone else should take him from ho would go and letfve her, his chatter noarly drove tier mad.

'That's a sensible thing to do. I'll accompany you to the door." .'Please let mo go alone, Mr- Beck ly. I'm not fit company for anyone this morning." "Indeed I shall not. It is noa often that I get a rhance to-see you. You needn't talk: I'll do that for you. But have you forgotten that you. were to call mo 'Claude!' 'r ' ('l can recall nothing I ever said that would indicate that I shouU ad dress you by that name." Her exasper ation was so evident he could not help but notice But Claude Bfcekly was not a thin-skinned man. He would take no offenso. In his own mind ho had do cided.that Brian and Ruth had quar reled. Ho had seen Brian and Mollie at dinner aogether the night before, and had noticed how gay they were, and had rallied them about it wheu he joined them for a few momenta, as he invariably did whenever He saw tneui. ''Yon are forgetful. Don't you recall tho night Mollio and I played cards at her.

Sho was in no mood for con versation, least of all with him. But he fell into step at her side, and, without asking permission, evidently ititonded to accompany her. Ruth had tried to jfind comfort in the thought that Brian had been with the Canadian officers. But the thought of the dinner to which ho had confessed to taking Mollie he had called it 0 ''jolly little dinner" and had declar ed he had only told of hit whereabouts because of his feeling that it would 'lie unfair to Mollie if he did aot. There was no thought of unfairness to his wife, no expression of it. Yet she had remained home alone while he was hav ing this jlly dinner, end had eried herself to sleep because of her loneliness. She scarcely spoke. Finally Beckly wh had been running on in his usual way, seemed to realize that he m not -attentive to what he was saying and asked: "Is your h?ad still achingt" ''Yes, desperately," How she wished "I'm sure Mollie and Brian don't mean to distress you," his tone was laboriously sympathetic. 'But yon leave him alone too much. He s only hu man, you know, like tho rest of us- No man wants to bo with a woman unless he caree for her." "What aro you rambling along liko that for " Ruth was stung into speoK ing angrily. "I know all about Brian and Mollie having dinner together. He told me himself." "But did he also tell yon that Mollio was encouraging him to enlist if we get into that foreign muss! We're going to I believe." - . Ruth had turned pale. Mollie King was encouraging Brian to enlist prob ably so he would leave her Ruth. How silly; we were not in the war prob ably never would be. , (Tomorrow Ruth's Employer Sends '" Her Flowers), Lieutenant Royal Argall, son of Mayor J. C.
