De Puy AlmOnte D'Alvarez. Tony Hooge
Behold bedroom farce, with
neglige and all that, and, wondrouG
to relate, ne howl of outraged purity
arises! Be II because the bed rooms
are off stage-two of them-or be
it because the farce never subOrdi-
mates a wholesome laugh to q shame
faced grin? Nevertheless, there re-
mains the fact that despite the risque
lines and situations, despite the
scRnt attire in which Gladys knorr
and Earle Foxe stalk about, and ue-
spite those bedrooms, no one in last
nights huge and hugely delighted
audience saw any occasion to do other
than laugh whole-heartedly and un-
ashamed at fast. clean comedy.
It's one OF those farces OF coinci-
dences and mixups. Frederick Tile,
a struggling young lawyer Is in
formed by his prospective father-in-
law that he cannot marry Ethel Sim
clair until he can make money. He
sets about to get some easy money.
There comes another lawyer with a
sandy proposition whereby Tile may
earn 800, 900 by marrying an un-
known, the marriage TO be annulled
in one year. Tile leaps at the chance,
and is married off to a creature OF
angles and face inconceivable, in or
der that those behind this company
may get a million-dollar legacy.
And then the fun began" For
Ethel, disobeying her papa, suddenly
appears and announces that she would
elope with Tile. Tile, Of course, can't
do it, Ethel misunderstands. Then
both, each without the others knowl-
edge, rush to spend the night at the
home of mutual friends, and fnd the
house deserted. After spending the
night alone under the same roof they
awake to fnd themselves under sus-
picion, to say the least.
From that point on the comedy
moves fast. and in spots furious,
through several acts OF complicated
situations which prove the Garrick-
ers' ability at farce, and which keep
the audience in a constant gale Of
laughter.
Gladys Knorr, a Washington beauty
of more than passing attainments
ing lady, and acQuits herself with
honors. She made a hit, and will
prove thoroughly acceptable to local
stock fans. Lurleen Garrison, an
other newcomer. appeared to ad-
in the ingenue role.
John Kline, former Poll and Colum-
bia stock player, returns to Washing-
ton in the role Of the father Of the
girls-and scores one OF the biggest
hits Of the play.
Earle Foxe. a. usual, proves fully
able TO handle the situations that
arise in such a way as to extract the
biggest possible laugh out OF every
line.
The other Garrickers, old and new,
live up to the regulations established
by q lohE season Of gunner successes.

Yes, 1t passed OF Quietly"

In common with the rest of the
state Weston cast a small vote
hardly 25 percent of normal at the
special election. While several
measures on the ballot were Of
much importance, they excited
scarcely ripple Of interest. Every
measure on the ballot was defeated
here except that for helping sol.
diers, sailors and marines to get an
education, which carried by a total
vote Of 81 to 43 in the three pre-
cincts. Even the market roads tax

precinct, No. 16, showed an appre-
citation of the needs of the coast
by giving an affirmative
vote to the Roosevelt Higwhay
measure.

SELLING THE SOIL

The estimate made by a writer in
the Review of Reviews, says the
0regonian, that the elements which
are taken from the soil by bushel
of wheat are worth sixty cents in
the chemical fertilizer market, may
help us to arrive at the cost of a
bushel of wheat, but the knowledge
will not be valuable unless farmers
act on it. There will come time
when the soil will become SO lean
that even the scattering upon it of
chemicals of the required amount
will not restore its productive ca.
pacity.
There are crops which actually
take more from the soil than the
farmer receives for them. The
same authority estimates that a ton
of linseed cake, for which $31 is
received, absorbs $34.47 worth of
fertilizer. But the seller receives
the $31 in hand and does not miss
the $34.47 until later. Then he is
likely to complain that times are
not what they used to be; even
with higher prices, there is no
money in agriculture"
The dairy1nen occupy an enviable
position in this regard. Dollar for
iollar, butter and cheese carries off
j smaller proportion of nitrogen,
potash and phosphoric acid than
Ilmost any other crop. While no
me believes that all farmers ought

to become dairymen. it is regarded
as intensely practical for all to COM
bine animal husbandry with other
crops. Systematic crop rotation
also will be requisite in regions now
farmed largely under the one-crop
system. Sale of forage crops, in
stead of feeding them on the
ground, is another reason for soil
impoverishment.
Wheat production in the United
States is close to 1916 bushels to the
acre. In 1899 it was only 1874
bushels per acre. English growers
succeed in getting close to 80 BUSH
els to the acre because they have
been compelled in .self-protection
to give closer attention to the SUBJ
ject of soil fertility. The issue is
particularly pressing at this time
because under the pressure of war
demands there has been a tendency
to raise staple crops, without much
regard for soil robbery. We shall
need to adopt soil conservation

 I blew her little kiss, and we rang off. But the memory of Mary Thom- as sincerity that afternoon will never leave me. I think I should have been haunted by it for hours that day, ex- cept for the thought Of Bob.

FREMONT COUNTY
DOUBLES QUOTA
FOR SALVATION
ARMY FUND

Fremont county again his scored.
For the steenth time she has more
than doubled her quota in a patriotic
drive. The Salvation Army asked
for 5000 in its recent home service
campaign. and with apparently no
great effort the county has given
si.s2o.s2 to this worthy cause. Mrs.
T. NJ. Harding. o. J. Runrahl and
Thomas Cananaugh of Florence were
the active heads of the drive in the
county and they were ably assisted
by excellent committees.
The people OF the county were only
asked for 81 apiece. but some. of
course, gave more. Some who could
not give 81 gave what they could. but
every cent was given in n whole.heart-
ed. patriotic spirit that makes the
81 900 notable amount indeed.
The members of the Elks' lodge OF
Canon City pledged $500. and it il q
credit to that organization to say that
that amount was more than raised by
them.
