Camille" at the Grand.

The Camille of modern France
chic with the charms of the Paris
ienne who gowns at the Rue de Il
Paix, dancing with the abandon OF
a gleesome pagan from the Casino
in Montmarte, sparkling with the
golden 'gayety of champagne, and
loving with the intensity of one who
gives life for love-and there you
have Camille, adapted from the play
by Alexander Dumas, the younger
with Nazimova and Rudolph Valen-
tino.
Its intensely appealing portrayal
of passionate love and bitter sacri-
flee has been translated into the
language of every civilized country
and under the title Of LA Traviata,' y
has been sung by every grand opera
company of the world. 1t needs no
introduction at our hands. It's follow
ers are legion, and such is the power
full appeal of the great story that
its adherents are not confined to any
particular class of society.
Then you have the inimitable
Nazimova, whose sensational success
in motion pictures and her brilliant
career Of the stage has gained her
international recognition as an
emotional actress.
This excellent production will be

RICE CUTTING AND BAD
WEATHER.

The excessive rulnfHli OF The past
several days is proving Il very SERIOUS
i,Hnlitap to rice harvesting, which Is
in full progress throughout this sec
lion The crops are ripe and must
he gathered if they are to be saved
bat the Jice must be dry when 1t Is
gathered and packed or II Will not
keep. With the limited sunshine
which has prevailed the planters have
been able to make very little prog
rc&s and they fear that unless there
Is an early Improvement IN weather
conditions they might sustain con
siderable loss Besides interfering
with and retarding the harvest, the
unfavorable weather affects the
planters in another way: the cereal
is in great demand and the market
very good. There are several buyers
in this section and the growers find
no difficulty in disposing of
their products at fair price
at the thresher, thus saving them
selves the trobuIe, Inconvenience
and expense Of shipping to the New
Orleans market, Prices ranging
from $4 to$4,55 barrel have been
paid in this vicinity in the past few
days, which is exceptionally good
compared to the prices for the 1920
and 1921 crop. Moreover, this years
crop was made at a comparatively
low cost. Owing to the nusually long
period of the high stage Of the river,
water was obtained free during near
ly the whole of the growing season,
by nearly all of the planters, and
those who had to pump did so for a
short period only, and thus a very
considerable item of cost in rice pro-
duction was eliminated; then again,
labor was plentiful and cheap at
grassing time, and is plentiful and
cheap at the present harvest time,
and if weather conditions would i'm
prove so as tos enable the farmers to
save their crops, they stand a chance
to reap substantial margin of
profit on this years investment.

building, which was filled with the
material six months ago, has given
satisfaction under heavy service The

The st. Johns Study Club was
honored on Wednesday with a
distinguished guest, Miss Ann
Shannon Monroe, Oregon novel
ist and magazine writer who
gave an intensely interesting in
formal talk on Oregon writers
and the Oregon Writers League
of which she is president. Miss
Monroe, who herself is nationally
known as a novelist and also as a
regular contributor to the Good
housekeeping magazine, is an in
teresting speaker and being per.
sonally acquainted with many
Oregon writers of whose work
she spoke, was able to touch Just
a little upon the personal charac-
ter and high ideals of each.
Miss Monroe is very proud of
the record of Oregon writers, -four
of whom received such high hon
ors last year, and anticipates that
Oregon will in the next decade
produce some of the world s best
writers. The reason Oregon writ
ers are producing such good,
wholesome literature. she says.
