For several years efforts have been made to eocuro special appropriations for the purpose' of making the improvements, but so far only a small : sum lias been jnaue avauaoie. under the super vision ot commandant Starmer, however, work is now In progress that will make the cemetery one of the most beautiful in southern Ore gon. One entire plot has been filled and another is being made ready for future Interments. The plot Hint has been filled lias been level led and Is'biing fallowed this sum mer lo 1:111 off all weeds. Concrete curbs havo been built along the ilrlvoways, and in the fall the en . tiro surface will be prepared and floeded. Gravestonos are on hand and are being carved, and all stones will be reset and allnged, giving a perfect uniform appear ance over the entire plot. An irri gation system has been installed so that the tract can be kept green at nil times, and will be maintained In a careful manner. Beside each stone will bo placed a perrenial blooming flower so that the combi nation of green lawn and bright blossoms, with ' borders of ever green shrubs will make the ceme tery very beautiful. Parks Improved At tho same time the park near the cemetery is also being im proved. Tills park is formed chiefly by one of the largest maple trees In Douglas county. This great tree with its branches that droop to tho ground, forms a 'canopy under w hich 300 or 400 people may easily be sented. The tree is very near tho banks of the river and is In the midst of smaller trees, so that a cool, shady spot Is provided for any out-of-doors gathering. Com mandant Starmer Is having the i park cleared and leveled, so that more space will be made available, and a better view of the river pro cured.

There are a number of acres at the institu tion used for farming purposes, more than enough vegetables be ing produced to feed all of the resi dents, while hay and grain are raised to rtho livestock. Around the barracks, hospital and build ings has been created one of the most boautltul yards to be found in the entire state. At present there is nothing marking the division be tween Ihe lawns and gardens and the farm und it is proposed to place along this line a great hedge of English laurel, the tree being one that grows 12 to 15 feet high, with 'luxuriant evergreen fuliage. This is being planned and execut ed by Mr. ltlngo, the gardener, who has produced at the Soldiers Home one of the show spots of the entire state.

'J1 ''.fat!- ' farmert whenever the opportunity Democrats' Keynoter, To Be Millions, Is New National Bowers, Who Will Sound! Party's Call at Houston, Won Fame by Jack- son Day Speech, ny NEA Service NEW YOKK, June 18. You can take a true Hoosier far from his native state, bury him In the anonymity of newspaper editorial writing and turn htm into a schol arly, retiring historian; but sooner or Inter he will turn back to the only pursuit a real Hoosier . ever enjoys politics. That's what happened in the case of Claude G. Bowers, anyway. Bowers, born and bred in Indiana, moved to New York five years ago to become an editorial writer for the New York Evening World. In his spare time lie studied and wrote history. But 'last winter he plopped back into politics so zest fully that he was at once chosen to deliver the keynote speech at the coming democratic convention in Houston, Texas. It all happened because Bowers was invited to address last Janu ary's Jackson day dinner In Wash ington. This Is a traditional love feast of the democrat:), marked in recent years by a noiable absence of love. Bowers had written ab sorbing biographies of such demtH cratfc heroes us Andrew Jackson and Thomas TofferKon, and through some happy inspiration" tho com mlttee asked him to speak. Electrified Part Bowers did. He urged his hearers to make Jackson and Jef ferson something moie than mm a patron saints of iho party, con trasted conditions m their ,ras with conditions today and, before he had finished, aroused the dem ocratic chieftains to real enthusi asm. A man who could ' do thai seemed worth keopii.g; so Bowers, by general consent, was chosen to do the keynoting t?t Houston. To most of iho country, thus far, he has bona just a name. When Ills election as keynoter .was announced, the rank and . file of the democracy murmured, "And who the dickens is he " After he delivers his speech at Houston. however, It is a safe bet that he will be a national figure. Bowers was born In Hamilton county, Indiana, in November of 1878. As a young man he entered newspaper work, serving his ap prenticeship on the old Indianapo lis Sentinel. This, it might be .

In 1917 he returned to Indiana to became editor ot the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. Ho held that post until i'Ji'J, and wnged many n political battle with the opposition paper, the NewB-Sentl- nel. The Journal-Gazette, of course, was a democratic paper, and Dowers attracted considerable repute by his party services. So, In 1923, the New York Eve ning World took him as editorial writer. Bowers went to New York, far removed from Hoosier politics; and, wiile Ills position required him lo become familiar with Now York nolltlcs and to express his opin ions thereon, It might havo seemed to his friends that he hail left ac tive political life.

The world's middleweight championship goes on the block at Comlskey Park to night when Mickey Walker an swers the challenge of Nebraska's "Wildcat," Ace Hudklns. If weath er conditions are favorable, the fight, which In billed lo so ten rounds to a decision. It expected to attract from 80,000 to 40,000 fans, and probably the largest gate receipts In the history of the mid dleweight division. It will be Hudkins' first shot at a boxing title In the eight years ot Ilia boxing career In Uiree divis ions and, while Walker was a 7 to -5 batting favorite, the challenger was radiant with confidence. Walker, too, was confident, in top rorm and Impatient for the bell. . Attracted by the punching power of the New Jersey "Bulldog" ' and the Nebraska "Wildcat," Chicago's boxing Itlulto today was crowded with fans from all sections of the nation. While they were at varl ance as to the winner, they were virtually agreed that tho fight would end In a knockout. Their opinion was repeated by the cham pion and challenger. , n SPRAYING IS ONLY CONTROL FOR APPLE MAGGOT PEST The apple maggot In a serious pest of tho apple orchards of the noiiheastern part of tho United States and southeastern Canada.

A study or the life history mill habits of the apple maggot by Dr. II. A. Porter of tho United States Depart ment of Agiiculturo leads him lo believe that It Is not likely to be come serious In southern orchards, but that It may become injurious In the Pacific northwest. "Everyone living in the country in' New Englund nnd noarhy states," says Doctor Porter in Technlcnl Dulletln 6U-T, The Apple Maggol, Just published by the De partment of Agriculture, "is fa miliar wltn the disappointment ex perienced In biting into u 'rail roaded' or maggoty apple. Many such apples give no external warn ing that anything (1b wrong, al though the Interior may bo a broken-down muss of rotten , pulp. Such a condition Is caused by tho apple maggot.
