A MATTER OF TASTE.

For two nights last week Manager
Stoltz had on one Of the best plays
that has been screened in that house
for many day. The best" as here
declared embrace the settings, which
have rarely been excelled, the acting
of the star in the cast. which has been
seldom equalled anG never surpassed
by any production in the house, and
the general strength of the plot. And
yet this presentation drew smaller
houses than most of the ordinary plays
presented. 1t is feared that the taste
of vast majority Of the movie pat
rons, whether city or rural, runs more
to the slap-stick, knock-about, rough
and tumble line of comedies than to
the more dramatic features, no matter
how well presented. More people will
turn out to see the innane Chaplain
go through his foolish gyrations, or
laugh over the silly-faced Arbuckle in
his absurd stunts than will pay admit
tance to see the finished work of the
most renowned tage artists of the day.
Possibly the solution of the mystery
is in the fact that most people haunt the
movies for relaxation and to laugh

A POPULAR ORGANIZATIONS.

That popular Salvation Army lass,
Miss Emma J. Anderson, adjutant Of
the Spokane branch of the Salvation
Army, was visitor in Oroville for a
day or two this week collecting for
the Spokane Salvation Army home.
Miss Anderson. one of the most pleas
ing and cheerful members Of the or
ganization, makes regular visits to
Oroville and always meets with lib
eral response from our citizens. Just
now her work Is eaiser than it ever
has been, and the donations are more
generous. The reason for this is the
reputation for efficiency and real help
made by the Salvation Army serving
among the soldiers in France and the
various camps in this country. The
cheer and comfort that the Salvation
Army people carried to the boys on
the firing line has won for the society
a warm place in the nearts of the peo-
pie at home. Hardly letter comes
from the boys in France that does not
contain praise for the Salvation Army
and Red Cross and denunciations of
the Y. M. c. A. And that we'll deserved
praise causes people to loosen their
purse strings whenever approached
for aid by members of the Salvation
Army. Miss Anderson says that the
Army has been so used to receiving
eggs instead Of eulogies that she fears
that the organization may not be able
to accept the praise with the humility
that it should.

arrived last week from San Francisco
on furlough of % days. Young Pratt
has been in the navy for two years,
and has seen considerable of maritime
life as one of Uncle Sans sailor boys.
His experience has been confined to
the Pacific and Atlantic coasts. He is
member of the crew of the Marble
head, which recently arrived in San
Francisco from cruise in the West
Indies. The ship is attached to the Pa
cific squadron. Young Pratt is anxious
to get back into civil life. now that the
war is over, but ne must be rated high
as an efficient member of the crew,
for while others are able to secure 4
discharge he is held in service. Judg-
ing from his appearance sea life
agrees with Mr.. Pratt, as he is fairly
bubbling over with good health, and
he looks as hard as nails. He is en-
Joying his leave of absence with his
relatives and friends and at the expi-
ration of his furlough will JOIN his

ter feeding work during the coming
year. 1t should be remembered that
the office of the county agent is avail
able for the help of every farmer in
the county. Plans for some of the best
types of silos and Instructions for the
methods of construction work may De
obtained, and in most instances it will
be possible to secure the aid of the
agents in the actual work of building
the silo. Suggestions as to the best
crops to grow for silage in the various
sections of the county and often as
sistance in securing the seed may be
obtainable. Cost data can also be given
in order to obtain a definite idea as
to the approximate capital required.
The banks of this county are glad to
loan money for silo building.
The silo is one of the problems in
your farm work that should receive
the most careful consideration. 1t is
endorsed by all cattle and sheep men
who have ever had an opportunity to
try it thoroughly, and most of them
consider it indispensable. The silo is
the solution of the winter feeding
problem to very great extent. Write

We were shown some hams and ba-
con the other day cured by Stuart
Mutch, gentleman who paid consid-
cradle attention to tLat class of meat
packing before coming into the Okla
hogan valley. Our Judgment on hams
and bacon is based on experience of
some years ago, fo- being neither a
Bolsheiki, who takes what he wants,
nor millionaire who can buy what he
wants, we have not peen testing that
line of prOvender since the beginning
or the great war, yet, judging from
general appearance the best on the
market is not superior to the hams
and bacon that Mr.. Mutch cures. More
over, and what is still of greater in
terest to the consumer, Mr.. Mutch is
able to turn out his product at price
far lower than is asked for the eastern
article. There is another resident of
this neighborhood who has the process
OF curing hog meat down to perfection,
Chas. S. Lewis, and it has struck us
that if the two individuals mentioned
could get together and combine their
efforts they could open a meat curing
establishment at this place and build
up a most flourishing business Why
not consider such a proposition Big
things have grown out of smaller
things than such a combination would
prove to be.

CANNERY IN SIGHT.

movement is on foot to secure a
cannery at this place that promises to
meet with success, for success will
certainly follow its installation, as
Hon. w. H. Paulhamus, the cannery
king of the state will be behind the
enterprise if it finally materialiZes
Mere mention of the prospect is made
at this time, as it is not our object to
awaken hopes that may not be realized
although the outlook tor the consuma-
tion Of the greatly needed and greatly
desired object seems to be very bright
The one consideration to make the en-
terpriSe possible was the securing of
pledge of 800 acres of tomatoes. If
such pledges can be secured Mr.. Paul
hamus will make thorough nvesti-
cation and if he is satisfied with the
showing the eannery, and big one, is
assured. N. ]. Emory and p NJ Snider
have spent some time interviewing
land owners in the valley and securing
signatures to contracts, and in the lit
tie time they have been able to devote
to the mission of love and duty they
have signed up some $50 acres. There
does not seem to be particle of doubt
as to being able to secure pledges for
the full 800 acres, and these gentle
men are still working to reach the
goal. The establishment of a cannery
at this place, in conjunction with a
flour mill, which is now an absolute
certainty, would start industrial life
