Booth Harrington S
Book AHce adams "

Booth Tarkington's "Alice Ad-
ans" is a record of a girls minor
tragedies; the tragedy of dance
to a wall flower who was once a
belle, the tragedy of formal din
ner in her shabby home with with
ering seconds for flowers, bung.
ling maid hired for the occasion
and father patiently unaccustom-
ed to a dress suit, the tragedy Of
brave, foolish, little deceptions to
the man whom she seeks to at
tract, all these, though minor in
the perspective of life of time,
are bitterly poignant to the young.
Alice lives in one of the middle
western cities, lately overgrown
towns, which Mr.. Harrington uses
so often for settings. Attractive,
pretty, almost beautiful, Alice is
fighting hard to keep place in
the society Of wealth and leisure
which the city is rapidly develop
ing. But it is a losing struggle.
Her father, a kindly, simple drug
clerk, is unable to give her beau
tiful home Of the influence and
background which the other girls
have. She cannot entertain nor
dress as handsomely as her former
schoolmates. The boys who throng-
ed her front porch have become
more sophisticated and her popu-
larity has waned. Finally when the
desirable stranger whom she has
attracted discovers the pitiful lit
tie deceits with which she has
sought to camouflage her home
life, and the family descends ano-
ther step in the social scale by
keeping roomers, Alice faces life
squarely for the first time. With
the same bright courage she sets
out to do her share in winning the
family bread and butter.
Although Alice overshadows the
book, Mrs. Adams, the nagging
wife who blames her husband for
his failure and Walter, the i'm
possible brother, are powerfully
drawn.
Harrington himself expresses
the motif of the book thus
"Alice Adams is the story por-
trait of a family, taking family to
express type-as in The Magnifi-
cent Ambersons ns'-with predomi-
nant figure and one member of the

am still concerned with the great
flux, the current of American life
in which the families struggle, not
knowing the floods and droughts
themselves. The Adamses are al
ways partially submerged and get
only a glimmer of the material
prosperity for which families

Minister OF
Oregon City
Is Pugilist

Oregon City, Aug. 6.-When
Rev. H. G.. Edgar of the Seventh
street Presbyterian church left on
his trip to Seattle last week, his
mind was only mildly settled ON
the Japanese question, but should
he be questioned now, he would
be very emphatic in his denunci-
alton OF the race and probably
stun you with his evident SINGER
ity.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar and Mr..
and Mrs. w. w. Woodbeck were
motoring leisurely along the
streets upon which the public
market is situated in Seattle.
when suddenly a huge truck, on
the driving seat of which were
two japanese, swung directly in
front of them and a serious acci-
dent avoided only by the quick
handling of his own car by Mr..
Edgar. Needless to say he was
peeved enough at that but to
make matters worse one of the
Japs let Mr.. Edgar and party
have the full benefit of a rapid
flow of japanese language that
sounded as thought it meant some
thing.
1t was the last straw.
Mr.. Edgar jumped from sthe
car, threw off his coat, rolled up
his sleeves, saying that no Jap
could talk like that to an Ameri-
can when he was around, and
started toward the truck-but the
Jap, true to his inheritance, was
the quicker, rolling off of that
truck like ball, he raced down
the side streets and all that Mr..
Edgar could see of him was the
soles and heels of his shoes.

Great Wheat
Harvest On
In Union Co.

La Grande, Or, Aug. 6.-Union
county's wheat crop will exceed
tho million bushel mark instead of
a total of $4,000 bushels as first
estimated. The increase in bushel-
age becomes evident with the ar
rival of wheat in the mills and
warehouses. Harvesting is on in
full blast, headers working every
where and combines going in seme
instances. Binding is pretty we'll
finished.
The increased total is brought
about by a heavier fall wheat yield
than had been anticipated, and the
recent rain that added to the
spring spring wheat situation. The
rain helped much of the wheat re-
cover from the stem maggot and
what looked like almost total fail
ure three weeks ago now looms up
with 10 to Is bushel prospects.
This Improvement in the spring
wheat yield also boosted the coun~
,ty totals.
Another very encouraging eact
developed at the mills and ware
houses is that wheat coming ii so
far weighs full so pounds and in
some instances pound and a frac-
tion more than that. This in itself
is a very important item.
Notwithstanding the injured
late spring wheat, and the snail
acreage in fall wheat, the yield is
normal if million bushels is the
crop. The best yield the valley
has ever given was a million and
quarter bushels, and that in a
desirable year during the war
when every available inch of soil
was conscripted.
