Imbler Seniors
Present Comedy
Wednesday Eve.
By Mrs. Ray, Wilson
(Observer Correspondent)
IMBLER (Special) The senior play
Beads on a String," a comedy, held
fria Wade hall Wednesday evening was
-st a decided success. The ha.ll was filled
to capacity by an audience, subduing
jihelr chuckles at the beginning of
M the first act, then letting go in ever
increasing roars of laughter as the
M plot unfolded. Lightning changes
fff from the part ol a sheik to that .of
l.'s a flapper proved Benny. McCoy a
clever and versatile actor. Charlie
i Lewis; as the financially harrassed
p business man, ' played his part so
; naturally that he found a sympa
ki thetlc and understanding audience.
Woodrow Westenskow, as the rich old
pif uncle who preferred girls, acted his
3 part well as did Exford Smith play
f lng th part ol a friend of Bennie's.
Vivian McFall, acting the part of
h$ Bennie's mother proved the right of
F. her sex to change her mind with the
changing aspect of events. Madeline
Oliver as Uncle, Ben's niece enacted
her part nicely.-' Thea Lloyd as Cleo
patra Oleomargarine Johnson was
well made up anu with good negro
dialect. The heroine of the play the
beautiful Molly Mallerton as played
by Dorothy Redman, left nothing
to be desirei Everett Holmes In the
: role of the hick detective, trained by
a correspondence school, was the1
jf origin of most of the mh-th with act-
lng worthy of a professional.
I Bebore the play the seniors staged
t a Jamboree of skits and musical num
j bers: Harold in a three-act skit
f played the parts of two females ana
$ a male in an episode that ran the
I gamut from Ben Titrpln comedy to
$ Shakespearean, tragedy. Bon Brown,
I as the new doctor rehearsing an lm-
aginary "'conversation with Ills ' first
i patient, was good in the role; War-
ren Dennison In his clever tap danc
J ig and stunts responded to nu
t merous and insistent encores. Vivian
McFall and. Madeline Oliver featured
a vivacious' beauty and love sick
; suitor in their own Interpretation
; of 'Do You Want to Take a Walk."
In a short intermission between
; the jamboree and play, Theron An
A derson, president of the student body,
presented to Mrs. Gordon, the coach
.'A of the play and member of the fac-
ulty, a beautiful picture of Wallowa
lake on behalf- of the senior class.
. Lester Westenskow acted as master
of ceremonies during the Jamboree.
The A. G. S. conducted a candy
1 sale before the program started which
t was weu patronized. -
Lloyd Rand, 17 years, old and a
former resident of Imbler, is dead.

BROTHERS AS PXAYMATES .
Hy Alice Jlul.soii I'eale
It seems tlie natural as well as the
sentimentally pleasant ;t;h!n g for
brothers to be always together.
A mother of my acquaintance hesi
tated to send her 10-year-old son to
a certain excellent school because he
would be separated from the com
panionship of his sixteen-year-old
brother. They depended . on each
other, she said. '' '-' '
It was to her apparently a matter
unworthy of .consideration: .that this
dependence expressed Itself . In the
older boy not only in protectlveness
but also in frequent nagging . and
bullying, and In the younger.ane not
only in admiring lmltatlvaness but
In frequent tantrums of helpless rage.
Generally speaking. It is probably
well for even the most devoted of
brothers to be separated . -from each
other a god share of the time- Dif
ferent classes, different schools even
are desirable since they allow each
child to develop ills oWri interests
and make his own friends In a thor
oughly wholesome way. - - -
The disparity In age between broth
ers necessarily gives the elder a great
advantage, an advantage which Is apt
to be a boomerang when - It makes
the other child accustomed to easy
domination of a younger one.
Every child needs to play most of
the time with children of his own
size although occasional play with
older or younger children, has Its own
lessons to teach, especially when such
play is between children of the same
family. '" ,
Sometimes It happens that a pair
of brothers quite close In age are
especially congenial playmates'. Even
In such Instances, It Is well to en
courage them to cultivate other
friends. .
Under no circumstances should
brothers be forced to play together
Just because they are brothers.
Observatory Site -
Several factors are taken Into
Consideration in choosing sites fur
observatories. A site .Is .chosen
where there are a large number of
clear nights In the year, where the
air Is free from dust and haze,
where the altitude is high enough
for the site to be above part of the
air, where a dry climate assures
cloudless skies, and where smoke
and artificial lights of cities are ab
sent. To tills mnst be added the
factor of Vgood seeing" as opposed
to "p-tfir seeing."

Meier To Pursue

More Vigorously

ing his charges that "the cards were
stacked" against him. In connection
with his unsuccessful attempts to
puts Henry Meyers as superintendent
of the penitentiary. Governor Julius
L. Meier Saturday declared he will
undertake more-- strenuously than
ever his campaign against state ex
travagance. : '
"When I return to Salem on Mon
day," he said, "I shall renew my en
deavors to place the state purchasing
department, which Is a huge Joke, on
a business-like basis.
'My business -and -economy program
predicated on my promise to the
people that I should do everything
possible to effect reduction in taxes
B,nd retrenchment in other ways logi
cally and necessarily involves the
eradication of Inefficiency, wasteful
ness and extravagance in official
places, however high."
"In my opening statement at the
recent penitentiary hearing at Salem,"
he continued. "I declared that I re
alized that the cards were stacked
against m.e so far as the other two
members of the state board of con
trol, Mr. Kay and, Mr. Hoss, were con
cerned, and the act of these two
members Saturday at Solera in voting
a complete vindication of Henry W.
Meyers confirms the truth of ' the
statement then made." . -.
"It is but natural, of course," the
governor declared, "that both State
Treasurer Kay and Secretary of State
Hoss should .vindicate Superintendent
foyers, because during the past four
years he has been their superinten
dent of industries, and to have cen
sured his ' management would havo
been tantamount to criticizing them-

selves as members of the board of
control for having retained him all
these years." : ,
In speaking of the state purchas
ing department - the governor said;
"Under previous administrations vir
tually all requisitions for supplies
and materials have been honored as
a matter of course, I believe that a
huge saving can be effected to the
state by placing real merchandising
men in the state purchasing depart
ment. I sought several weeks ago to
prevail upon the members of the
board to place two such men in the
department, but so far I have, been
blocked.
"Howevor, I repeat, emphatically. I
Intend to renew my endeavor along
these lines, and if the members of
the board continue to block then I
shall assemble the necessary evidence
and ask for a public hearing so that
the people may be advised." :

30 per cent of Its own weight.
They have authenticated instances

CVT SPRING WHEAT COST
PIERRE, S. D., wi Spurred by re
duced wheat profits, farmers in the
spring wheat region made a greater
effort than ever this year to cut pro
duction costs by cleaning seed. They
expect to reduce weed growth, aid
smut control and get more uniform
stands. In 1922 the average seed sown
in the eastern half of the region con
tained more than 2 per cent by weight
of weed seeds.

no word had been received from Dr.
Kelley or his captors. The physician
was supposedly kidnaped Monday

wanted 9250.000 ransom, but would
compromise for $160,000.

Northwest's Best
Apple Exporting
Season Is Ended
PORTLAND, April 87 () Hymao
Cohen, writing In the Journal, said
Saturday that this week "practically
closes the most unusual and largest
apple exporting season In the history
of the Pacific Northwest."
"The hist of the season's .export
supply," tho articles said. vts being
loaded today . . . tvud wiU probably
bo cleared Monday for Loudon."
The paper estimates that more than
e.OOQ.OOO boxes of apples formed the
total export from the two major ports
of tjlie Pacific Northwest this season.
"In fact l,t would not be surprising,"
it points out, "if the exact totals
were closer to 9.000,000 boxes "
The lost of Hood River's 1930 crop
of export Newtous was being loaded
for Loudon Saturday.
"The 1930 apple crop export sea
son," the paper sad. "ends with a
gocd taste in the mouth of the trade,
Instead of general disaster that had
been forecast .early An. the year. In
stead of the practical Impossibility
of moving the bulk of the apples, de
mand for export has been aotive and
prices smarted at the bottom arid con
tinued upward through the entire
season. It has only been the exces
sive record demand from Europe that
has saved appXo growers of the Pacific
Northwest from' even worse disaster

An improvement in appearance, true, but the reason for this

It was done to protect the fine mild quality of Camels until '
they reach the smoker. , '
The best tobacco loses much of its rich flavor and aroma

It is peppery dust and harsh dry tobacco that are unkind to a
