mentioned. Two of the town gossips
were talking. "They say Ethel Barry

BETTER ECONOMICS IN
PRISON MANAGEMENT
Useful Work VS.. ldleness.

In these days when idleness Is a
crime, it is worth while to consider
whether it is good policy to impose
it by law upon so many people. There
are many men in our prisons whose
purpose there is not served by their
present treatment. They can and
should be made to produce their living
Raising food is a good way to do it..
A commendable bill in the Pennsy'-
vania legislature provides for six
prison farms to take the place of the
many county jails, thus affording bet
ter facilities and administration than
is possible with the small units.
Beside the economic advantage there
will be the great gain in efficiency,
In the reforming and rebuilding of
character farm life has proved most

Farm says that Prisoners arrive dirty,
and go away bronzed, with regular

with a new determination and a new
grip. The farm prison is tremendous.

Bloom Center Awakens.

Famous old Bloom Center, the vii
lage constructed many months ago for
the locale of the CHRONICLES of Bloom
Center" comedy series, awoke to life
after sleeping the sleep of the desert
ed for many months. A number of
the scenes for the feature, Caleb Con

familiar Bloom Center buildings, which
have weathered numerous comedies and
two threatening fires. One could easily

Miniature Paris Built In Studio.
In the Robert Warwick studio, when
1.-THE Silent Master" was being filmed,
was built one of the most remarkable
settings. The scene occupied the en-
tire floor of the glass rooted studio and
represented a street in the Montmartre
section Of Paris, with a full panorama
of the city in the background. The
houses in the foreground were replicas
of the haunts of night providers OF
Paris, known as Apaches. The minia-
ture city, including the Eiffel tower
and Church of Notre Dame, was light
ed by an intricate system of tiny cleo
trio bulbs, and the river, which in the
studio was about ten feet wide, was
so constructed as to permit the flow
of several inches of water, along
which moved barges, tugs and other
river craft, their lights dimly cleaning
against the outline Of the city build
ings. Director Leonce Perret, just re-
Gently from Paris, went so far as to
have revolving light on top of the
miniature Eiffel tower and factory
chimney that belched flame.

There is little a motion actress will
not undertake to do in order to make
herself appear at her best before the
camera. But in spite of this ambition
few of them dare to make their own
clothes. Not so with Violet Mesereau
While her companions of the silent
drama are forever at the mercy of the
dressmaker, pretty Violet makes her
own clothes. She doesn't claim that
she is the best dressed actress on the
screen, but she looks good to us.

country surrounding Salem and what
it is especially adapted to. Logan
berries will be featured as this is EN-

a drawback to this industry, but now
that four cents may be contracted for,
the pamphlet will feature loganberries.
Other vegetables and fruits that are
adapted to this valley will be included
and also the big fact that the grower
is now assured of market. The Com

response to inquiries from all parts of
the country about 20 pamphlets every

Trading Was Light
and Changes Slight

New York, Aug. 25.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Today's short session of the stock
market was typical Saturday summer
affair that is to say, trading was light
to a degree, price changes among the
standard industrials and rails were
slight and, aside from transactions in
half dozen of the issues, influenced by
spectators, buying was wholly lacking
in interest. The undertone was firm.
Outstanding features of strength were
the tobacco shares, especially Tobacco
Products and United Cigar Stores, con-
cerning which merger rumors were re-
vived; Cuba Cane Sugar, Great North
ern Ore, National Conduit and the like.
Now and then the bear traders pouneed
on a weak spot. The rails were irreg-
ular but in general firmness underlay
the list
Conditions we're unchanged in the
later trading. Anaconda Copper re-
covered its early loss. The tobacco
shares eased off somewhat Fractional
gains were made by Union Pacific and
Reading. Bonds were dull and steady.

PRUNE YIELD rs CUT
BY HOT WEATHER.

While it has been the general opin-
ion among the growers in this section
that the prune crop was going to suf-
fer very little damage from the long
dry spell and they have been rejoicing
up to this time that they-and appar-
emily they alone Of the farmers-were
going to have good yields this year,
reports coming in during the past few
days are to the effect that the prunes
are droppipng fast and will cut mater
tally into the yield. Two or three of
the growers who were expecting bum
per crops will now be satisfied with
a pick amounting to 90 per cent Of
normal.
Another source of damage which is
also blamed on the weather man for
the absence of rain, are brown spots
north end of the comfy have reported
as appearing on the fruit All of the
prunes affected in this way turn brown
beneath the skin and have to he
thrown away. All of the prune men
are puzzled by this new development
and none of them seem to be able to
give any reason for the spots except
that they must be caused by the heat.
According to reports from Benton
county this same disease, if it may be
called that has made its appearance in
the prune orchards there for the first
time this year. There the growers also
are unable TO explain the brown snets
and experts of the Agricultural college
have not found any satisfactory ex-

ton Offered so far is that the lack Of
moisture causes breaking down Of the

ONLY FIVE PER CENT
TO GO SEPTEMBER S
General CrOwder Changes
Time for First Unit Going
to CantOnmentS

Washington, Aug. 25.-Only five per.
cent of the national army will be
mobilized September fifth, instead Of
thirty percent, originally planned.
This was announced by Provost Mar
shal General Crowder today.
Forty per cent will go September
nineteenth, and forty per cent October
third
The remaining fifteen per cent will
60 ''as soon as practicable. "
This latest change in plans is due to
congestion in traffic entailed in early
September by movement of the nation
al guard to training camps.
The object of calling only five per
cent is to place in the camps enough
to form skeleton organization to as
sist in receiving and assimilating the
larger contingents later. Boards are re-
quested to select men with previous
military training for the first five per
cent.
One per cent of the quota of each
board will be sent on each of five CON
secutive days beginning September
five, SO that the movement will not be
completed until September ninth.
1t was stated at the provost marshal
generals office that this change was
not because every local board would
not have thirty per cent of its quota
by September fifth. Nearly every
board in the United States has this
thirty per cent and most of them have
their full quota by that time.

ALLIES PREPARE FOR
WINTER CAMPAIGN
VIII Assist Russians to Get
Ready For General Spring
Offensive

Washington, Aug. 25.-Ameriea and
her allies are preparing for another
winter campaign and great spring Of
fensive to turn the scale.
The forthcoming reply to the pope IS
peace proffer extension Of aid to Rus
sia and the outcome of the Moscow con
ference now in session will show this,
officials and diplomats said today.
Between now and winter, the allies
expect to ''get Russia ON her feet, "
that she may play her part in the giant
nippers to be closed about the Teuton
powers next spring.
In the wake of the pope IS offer and
detailed explanation rendered by the
vatican through the United Press, it
was re-emphasized today that all pow
ers will reject peace now. President
Wilson will offer declaration of prin-
ciples rather than an outline of peace
demands. Each country is expected-to
reply individually to the pope.
The Kerensky government will be
given a vote of confidence by the
conference, and orders to con-
tinue the war with it's present policy,
the Russian embassy declares.
This session, representing all ele-
ments of Russia, opens today and will
adjourn Monday. Within that period
will come, probably some attempt to
shift the form of government to one
less radical, but embassy authorities
say that elements seeking this are too
small to succeed.
Outside of embassy circles is tife
view that the conference will result in
great strength for the new democracy
or unbridled civil strife. However,
Americas new interest in the Slav sit.
uation, evidenced by a $100,000,000
loan and a note of confidence is ex,
pected to develop very strong backing
for Kerensky's regime.
The conference plans to address an
appeal to the nation for vigorous re-
sistance to the enemy and united ac-
tion on internal problems,
