THE CRIMSON CARDEN|A"
 AT LANC'S THEATER DEC. Is

Accustomed to depict the conflict of primitive passions, Rex Beach is too skilled novelist to overlook the ap- pealing element in the human beings he characterizes. Indeed, much of his prestige and popularity has been de- rived from that very gift. He paints his canvas with big, sweeping strokes, yet the figures in his dramas are es- sentially human and appealing "The Brand" demonstrated that and it is confirmed in "The Crimson Gardenia," !" newest of his photodramas to be pres ented at Lang's Theater Monday Dec 15.
 Produced at the Goldwyn Studios under the personal supervision of Rex Beach, the drama reveals the noted author in a new light even while dem- onstrating afresh his virility and tre- mendous punch" He has written what is described as "a romance of the Mardi Gras," but it is much more.
 "The Crimson Gardenia" is melo- dramatic mystery with New Orleans as a colorful, ever-changing back ground. A band of expert counter feiters furnishes the sinister element sharply entrusted with the piquant simplicity of a girl, who has just arrived from Paris and the romantic masculinity of a young New Yorker eager for a carnival adventure. Into this network of conflicting desires Rex Beach infuses power and reality and pathos. The later comes from a little, old blind Frenchwoman, Mere Felice Gertrude Claire). She sits patiently in a small back room wait ing for her son whom she has not seen in years. By all odds Mere Fe- lice is the most appealing character in the play.
 Her most poignant moment comes when her niece, Madelon Dorette (Hedda Nova), brings to her a young man whom she believes to be Mere Felice's son. This is accomplished in an extremely adroit way, charac- teristic of Rex Beach when evolving a tale of mystery and intrigue. The girl has mingled with the merrymak- CTS to keep an appointment with Mere Felice's son, whom she has never seen. He is a fugitive from justice and can only meet her while masked. At the same time another man, Ro- land Van Dam (Owen Moore) hap pens to wear the identifying device chosen by Mere Felice's son-a gar denia.
 It is this flower that later becomes crimsoned with blood and gives the play it's name. Mere Felice's son is murdered, but her blindness causes her to dwell in the happy realization that he has returned to her.

AN OBJECT LESSON
IN IRRIGATION

Anent the measure before the
people providing for state guarantee
OF bond interest for first five years
on irrigation and drainage projects,
there is an object lesson on what ir-
rigation accomplishes in the story OF
Dead Ok Flat on the Snake river.
That veritable desert has been
transformed from a barren waste
into a ranchers paradise. Homes
OF countless jack rabbits and howl
ing coyotes have been crowded fur
ther back into the hills. Beautiful
residences and productive fields are
dotted over the entire body Of land
consisting of some twenty thousand
acres OF the most fertile land in the
Pacific northwest. This section is
becoming a center for stockmen.
Many bands Of sheep and cattle are
being fed during the winter; every
pound Of hay has found a ready
market at the ranch, many OF the
ranchers are feeding their own hay
and have found It more profitable
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1919-05-23


than to sell. At the present time
there are about 5000 head OF cat
tie being fattened for the market
besides many punches of stock cat
tie and dairy COWS, and at least So.
900 head OF sheep. Hay alone Is not
the only crop in this section. Thous-
ands OF bushels OF excellent grain are
produced, and many hogs are fatten-
ed for the market. A trip thru this
valley will convince any one Of the
thrift in that community. It would
be hard to think OF a better way to
use the credit Of this state than in
developing waste places, especially
as 1t costs the taxpayer nothing, the
drainage or irrigation districts re-
paying the state any interest money
advanced, at the end Of five years.
This is a constructive measure which
would be self supporting and bene-
fit every section OF Oregon, but It
needs the sanction OF the people TO
become law and operative.

MAKING WORLD HARBORs
James Barrett, Prop. Phone II

Seattle, San Francisco, Portland
and Los Angeles are all undertaking
great constructive harbor improve
ments.
Docks, warehouses, deeper chan
nels. drydocks, coal and oil supply
are being provided on a large scale.
Port commissions have been given
all the necessary powers and finan-
cial backing to develop the great
Pacific harbors.
The chambers Of commerce and al
lied organizations are working day
and night to arouse interest in world
commerce.
The states west OF the Mississippi
from Canada to Mexico will all be
enriched by the public spirit OF the
coast cities,
Every farmer who grows grain,
cattle, fruit, and lumber producers,
will get better markets for their pro-
ducts.
The oil, coal and mineral wealth
of the west will move out to the
markets of the world thru the Pa
cific ports.
The conquest of world trade will
not be confined to the Atlantic.

EARLY DROP OF HIGH
PRICES NOT EXPECTED

Prices may not be expected to
drop much in the near future, ac-
cording to indications from reports
to the federal reserve board. The
reserve boards bulletin for May says
that apparently "the business COM
munity has given up the thought
that it may be profitably await a
further considerable reduction in
prices and is now contenting itself
with the development of trade along
lines dependent upon at least the
temporary maintenance of existing
levels"

BOISHEvIsM AND
'ftN NATIONAL LAWS

A socialist orator at Spokane
eulogizes Lenine, the Russian die
tator, as having more brains than all
the statesmen in the world. He
saye: 20
'Lenine is endeavoring TO insti-
tute a scientific government where
all the people may live according to
the laws of nature"
To make II possible to live and
protect persons and property and the
right to life, liberty and happiness
laws of nature" had to be set aside
for laws of states and nations
In the operation OF the laws Of
nature" the strong takes from the
weak, and such bagatelles as moral
ity. equity, Justice, disappear.
To do away with all laws, means
to restore society to such primitive
conditions that civilization as now
constituted will disappear.
That is about what is happening
in Russia under the operation OF the
laws of nature" where earnings
and savings are impossible.
Bolshevism in milder forms is adj
vocated in our country in the name
OF democracy of industry, and state
owned industries.
The American ideals OF individual
initiative, individual enterprise, ac,
cumulation of property and homes
IS the opposite OF Bolshevism.

MAINTAIN FOOD PRODUCTION

There are many reasons why farm
products will bring high prices. The
same is true Of all food products.
The world needs food and cloth
ing and the world must be fed. That
is why wool and meat, fish and grain
will be high.
The American Congress has appro-
priated 100000. 900 to buy food to
send to the starving nations of Eu-
rope.
This with the government guaran-
teed price OF wheat win 60 far to-
ward stabilizing prices of all food
products
Farm andI food production will
only be limited by the labor supply
available to harvest crops and pre-
pare food.
That there will be great scarcity
of farm labor, and labor to convert
raw material into food no one can
doubt.
Canneries Of fruit, vegetables and
sea products will need labor as much
as the farmers and fruit growers.

Goodbye, Dear, Come Back TO Me

While sit, thus idly musing,
Memory beckons me away,
backward from lifes dewy evening
To the morning OF my day,
and see me awkward standing
At little picket gate,
And my heart is in a turmoil,
Words, unspoken, seemed to wait
For my palsied tongue to free them
From their quagmire OF despair,
i Just knew / ought to leave her
But my feet were rooted there.
And she was so cool and easy
While my very soul perspired.
Then her eyes grew wide with wonder
And her tempting lips inquired,
Why, what ails you, Bob, this EVENING""
Every nerve seemed torn and raw
AS | guped 20, Mary, sweetheart,
Can't you see?" and Mary saw,
Then her dimpled cheeks grew rosy,
Eden's portals opened wide,
And we told the old, old story
Pledged our faith, whate'er betide,
And at parting | can hear her,
Faint and far in memory,
AS her new-kissed lips did murmur.
Goodbye. dear, come back to me-"
U, the heaven in my bosom
Gilded all the earth and sky,
Scarce dollar in my pocket,
But mighty king was I.
AS my awkward youth stepped downward
Stalwart manhood climbed the throne.
Loves great miracle enacted
AS rose and claimed my own.
And the whippoorwills above us
Caught those words in radiant glee,
And the evening stars seemed singing,
Goodbye, dear, come back to me-"
Next, | see a marriage altar,
Where we stood tween earth and bliss,
And her tear-choked sobs we're smothered
In the rapture Of kiss.
Rainbow hopes and happy sunshine
Chased life's shadows far away,
Gone the past, forgot tomorrow
In the fulness Of today.
And / stopped and whispered to her,
And her blush was fair TO see,
Now, you'll have no need for saying.
Goodbye. dear come back to me- -
And our simple nest was coy,
Vines and roses trellised DER,
And our cherished friends and neighbors
Found glad welcome at our door.
Happy days slid past in gladness,
Tinged with gold without alloy.
And We slipped lfe's radiant vintage
From the brimming cup OF Joy.
Then, one day, sweet baby fingers
Swept ffe's chords in soft refrain,
And our ripened love grew richer
In that ecstasy Of pain.
Once | felt her slipping from me.
Out across deaths troubled sea.
Rut my tortured heart recalled her.
Goodbye, dear come back to me-"
Then, again. ! see us standing
In our blighted paradise,
With our faces drawn and haggard
Bursting hearts and fearless eyes.
For we hear the bugle calling,
Calling to the boys in blue.
Every note, a silver dagger.
Seems to pierce us thru and thru,
And the anguish on her features
Showed how deep love can be.
As she, voiceless, tried to tell me,
Goodbye, dear. come back to me-"
Years have passed and taken refuge
Where forgotten ages wait,
Took their toll in fullest measure,
Left nv life all desolate
So. I'm ever turning backward.
Dwelling in the past the while,
And her memory hoNers DER me
"Sweeter than an angels smile"
And that prayer, that can't be answered,
Calls in weary agony
From my widowed heart, still broken,
Goodbye, dear. come back to me-
