The Portland OreGonian in speaking
of Miss Loveland says: she is tall
and statueslue, and moves about the
stage like a graceful. stately swan
and when the moment comes to I'M
bend and relax she is a merry laugh

charms is her naturalness. absence of
stage fright and her mastery of every
department of exquisite vocal express

victory to the South Siders. Despite
the fine guarding by the Central FIVE

to Criticisms of His
Actions Uttered in

Paris, Jan. 23.-Herbert C.
Hoover, the food administrator
made a statement today in reply TO
criticisms of him in the United
States senate during recent de-
bate.
Il apparently emerge in a new
light as the friend of the Chicago
packers" said Mr., Hoover AT the
same time a mail brings a report
from Swift & Co. blaming the food
administration for reducing their
profits by 100000 during the last
year. | do not imagine that the
packers would appreciate a wide
circle Of such friends.
Il notice also that l committed a
crime by holding the October joint
conference Of farmers and repre-
sentatives of 40 small packers, as
we'll as the big packers, together
with representatives of allied gov
ernments, for the purpose of set
ting on a price for exports of pork
that would give the American farm
err square deal anda distribution Of
orders that would protect the small
packers.
1--WE have even tried To secure the
continuance of these war arrange
ments through the armistice period
and the opening of other markets,
because the American farmer did
his duty and produced goods.
"If the American farmer and the
small packer now feel that these ar
engagements are wrong it would be
the greatest burden off our Shout
ders If we could know it quickly.
The British government is particu-
larly anxious to be relieved from
these arrangement"

Meanwhile the upturned rowboat
had been picked up by some fisher
men and a hasty searching party Sc
out. although it was with sad doubts
that they surveyed the expanse of sea.
Probably they never would have found

schooner had broken from her anchor
age during the sudden gale while her
master and crew were out fishing and
there was a valuable cargo of grain
aboard her. Her owner was told
about the exploit OF the four. and how
by their determination and skill they
had kept the ship off the rocks. and

Just then the schooner whirled clean
about and bore down on the little boat.
There was scarcely time to think be
fore the great hull was towering over
them. but Ray shouted to Elizabeth:
Grab the bowsprit!" In another mo
ment the schooner had struck the
boat amidships-
Elizabeth and her brother had both
jumped up and grabbed the bowsprit
which they could easily reach as the
ship was riding low and a swell had
raised their boat quite high at that
moment. There they 1ung for awhile
looking down at the swirling water
which had swallowed their friends.
Come on" shouted Ray struggling
along to the deck. Hold fast!'
Several times they slipped and al
most fell but at last they were on the
deck. The schooner gave a sudden
lurch which threw them down but
both were up in a second and hurry
ing to the rail. There amid the swells
