and marked ability find their nat
ural level. The young man who,
on beginning his mechanical educa-
ton, realizes and acts upon these
truths, will develop that ability
which is not gauged by mere man
ual dexterity, but rather that which,
when in latter years he may be call
ed to design, lay out, and superin-
tend the work of Others, will enable
him to creuitably fill the position.
Such positions come to those who
bring thought and brains as well as
manual dexterity to assist them in
their work. To such men we owe
the improvements of the age In ev-
cry branch Of mechanics.
1t is q fact that too many me-
chanics work along day after day
accomplishing their work by
"main strength and foolishness,"
which is the direct and legimate re-
suit of q lack Of proper and thor
ough application, in their earlier
mechanical life. The point empha-
sized is, that the mind that is able,
through careful training and appli-
cation, to bring to bear knowledge
Of principles involved, as well as ex'
ecution Of detail i'm the work, is the
one that approaches that standard
of ability which should be the aim
of every young man who is begin
ming his mechanical education--his
work in the shop. When he has at
tanned this, no question of wages
will ever trouble him. Such men
are always wanted. The supply is
not equal to the demand.-Station-

SALEM wants n starch factory.
Did YOU ever stop to think that the
consumption of this one article ON
the Pacific coast was enormous?
DO you know that the supply IL large
ly drawn from the fur east, and alto
gether east of the rockies? Do you
know that II II manufactured from
potatoes that cost on an average
fifty 10 ninety-hve cents per rushel
and often more? DO you know that
we pay exhorbitant freight on every

that our farmers would get rich #
you would furnish them n steady

vt half the above prices? Then why
not manufacture the starch right
