Washington, Jan., 3 (Special) The food of the Nation is discussed by the Secretary of Agriculture in his annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1916. The Secretary states it is notable that, with the 'exception of meat and dairy products, ine per capita production of the leading food commodities, notwithstanding the in crease in population, nas remainea onnmvimntolv the wme or has in- ' creased. It is gratifying to note, he adds, that the alarming aeciine in beef production reached Its lowest 1913. and that since that time there has been a material in crease, while there has been a mark et advance in the number of swine since the census year 1899. The mimVior of sheen has continued to de cline, but only to a slight extent. The number of animals slnugnterea ana the quanity ,of meat products pre pared under Government inspection during the past fiscal year are the largest in the history of the service. This shows heavier increase in tne remaining stock of animals. He points out that with all the agencies now available for improving agriculture there is ground for optimism as to the ability of the Nation not only to sup ply itself with food but increasingly to meet the needs ot tne worm.

ARC A DE BESSIE BARK1SCALE IN NEW PLAY BV GARDNER SULLIVAN Triangle Star's Latest Vehicle Is Call ed "The Payment" and Gives Ac tress Excellent Oram a tic Opportunities. Phyllis Pago, tho central figure o "The Payment," the new TrianKlo play starring Bessie Barriscle, which will bo seen nt tho Arcade theatre tu day and tomorrow, is the daughter ot a plodding mill-worker. There is a strike, and, after some furious battles with armed guards, tho strikers gee the worst of it, and go back to work. Phyllis feels that she does not belong to this life, where tho best achievement is three meals a day and a place to sloop. She has ambitions and talent. She wants to become a miniature painter. So she goes to New York. Upon arriving in the city she soon l learns that the plodders are not con fined to small towns. She secures a place in a department store, and with the little saved from her scanty wages she studies art with an old professor quite as poverty-stricken as herself. He tells her she has real ability ani with a couple of years' training abroad unquestionably would win recognition. Then she attracts the attention of Royburn, a wealthy lawyer who chances into the store with his wife, lie offers to send her abroad if sha will consent to his terms. She con sents. Three years later, as the result of her studies abroad, she has become fa mous, Society flocks to her, and among the fashionables is Reyburn's wife. Mrs. Keyburn forms an instant liking for the young artist and insists upon her cominjr to their home. Phyl lis is strongly cYawn toward the wo man sho has wronged, but tries to keep away. But Mrs. Reyburn insists and sho becomes a frequent visitor. Mrs. Reyburn tries to arrange a match between Phyllis and her hand some young brother, and, sure enough the young people fall in love. Then Reyburn intervenes. "You are not the woman for him," ho tells her. "f you marry him you will be cruelly deceiving him and my wife," Phyllis pleads for her happiness. "You'll tell!" she exclaims in sudden fear. He slowly shakes his head. "I won't tell, but you will. There'll come a time when you can't stifle your conscience, and then" Phyllis knows he speaks tho truth. And to this picture thjre is a smashing finish with a big lesson. Are We All Slaves to Our Nerves? In the January Woman's Home Companion, a writer says:. "I am always newly amazed when I hear people say that they cannot exer cise self-control; that they cannot, for instance, give up a harmful or un pleasant habit. " 'It is a habit I cannot get over,' said a very pretty girl to me a few days ago. 'I have to bit my nails. I've done everything! I've even gone so far as put bitter aloes on my fin gers. It doesn't do a particle of good.' " 'I shouldn't try aloes.' " 'What would you try ?' " "I should just say to myself: 'I can control niyseu, unu 1 uiu gums tu do so.' And then I should start right in to prove it, and I shoud prove it over and over again each day.' "What slaves some of us are, not only to physical habits but to mental ones as well, slaves to habits of doubt, of pessimism, of envy, of temper, and egotism, of selfishness, of temper or irritability, or meanness, of varity, of self-deprecation, or the deprecation of others, of instability and morbid ness. The weak, the unreliable, the in adeguate, the unkind, the moody, the cisions only to doubt and change them, and who make resolves and promises only to break them, these are of in ferior and slave class. And if we could see truths and facts in vivid pictures and symbols, as Dante and John Bunyan saw them, we should sv3 all these men and women bent like slaves while these habits, their tyran nous masters, cracked long whips across their backs and compelled them to drag heavy burdens hither and yon. To how many masters have we been slaves to-ady, and how often have we bent tho knee obsequiously to them. Hail, King Envy and Selfishness, you who direct my comings and my goings, and note how completely I am your slave! And you, Oh Weakness, who have so long set yourself to rule over me, seo how long abase myself and all my God-given strength before you! Here is my slave neck for you to put youd foot upon!" SHERRY'S In search of adventure a young mil lionaire from the west decided to show the big city how red paint should be applied. Before he realized what was happening to him he faced a confi- ' dence man's revolver, was relieved of his bank-roll and fell out of that ad venture into others equally exciting.

Oregon's Fruit Crop. Oregon's 1916 fruit crop will net growers fully $9,000,000. This is the valuation placed on the commercial shipping crop, and does not include the value of fruit consumed at home. Tak en altogether, the crop was worth $1, 000,000 more than in any previous year. The apple crop proved to be I bettor than had been anticipated. Ths total shipping crop is estimated at about 3000 cars. On account of the continued car shortage, a large pro portion of the crop remains yet to be moved. While apples head tho list in point of value the prune crop takes first rank for tho amount of outside money brought into the Btnte. The 1916 production of Oregon Italian prunes reached the 40,000,000-pound mark, the shipping value of which was $3,000,000. There was a creditable showing in other varieties of fruit.
