FARMERS THRIVE BEST
TILLKRV PROM'KRITV GREATEST,
IS REPORT OF OFFICIAL.
Value of Haich Products Gains Faster
Thaa Coat ml Articles Purchased
WASHINGTON. Jan. 3. The farmer
has enjoyed greater prosperity than
any other individual in the country.
The value of the farm products has In
creased to a much greater extent than
t:ie cost of articles purchased by the
farmer. This is declared in a state
ment issued by Nat C. Murray, of the
Agricultural Department, which says:
"The purchasing power of the farmer
depends not only on the money value of
what he produces, but also upon the
money value of what he buys. From
lSa! to 109 the money value of an acre
of the farmer's crops increased 73.7 per
cent, but in tile same period the money
value of the articles usually purchased
by farmers bad Increased 121 per cent:
consequently, as a result of the greater
Increase in the price of what a farmer
sold than in the price of what he
bought the net increase in the purchas
ing power of the produce of an acre
was Tit per cent that is, one acre of
the farmer's crop in 1909 could buy 54
per cent more of the articles usually
bought by farmers than in 1899.
"In 1913 the value of an acre of the
farmer's crops averaged about 1.2 per
cent higher than In 1909, whereas the
value of articles bought by farmers had
advanced In the same time about 5.7
per cent: consequently as a result of
the greater increase In the price of
what the farmer buys than what he
sells the actual purchasing power of
one acre of the farmer's produce In
1913 was about 4.3 per cent less than
In 1909.
"Similar data for 1914 have not ytet
been secured, but It may be safely pre
sumed that the purchasing power of an
acre of the farmer's produce In 1(14 is
at least 5 per cent less than five years
ago. In short, there was a material
Increase in the purchasing power of
farmers from 1S9S to 1909. but since
1909 there has been a check to this rap
id Increase, with some reaction down
ward." SMUGGLED CHINESE IN CAR

Audience at Orpheum.
OLD TUNES-DELIGHT 'ANEW
Mile. Maryon . Vadie and Corps de
Ballet Dance Divinely and Won
derfully; Two Men and Pretty
Maid Present Pantomime.
BY LEONE CASS BAER.
Patrons of the Orpheum have long
since gamed, tne repuiauua m ueius
lovers of the dance and of comedy and
of raggedy songs and dramatic
sketches, in fact of everything that
goes into the process of making up a
vaudeville bill, yea, even ventriloquists
and bicycle bromides. It may have been
suspected that they were lovers of
grand opera singing, but there is never
a doubt about it now.
Madame Jeanne Jomelli, prima donna
of the Metropolitan Opera Company ana
of world-famous voice, is deservedly
th headliner on the bilL She cannot b
placed in competitive class with other
vaudeville offerings and in her offer
intra Sunday night music-lovers had in
satisfaction of listening to one of the
most beautiful lyric sopranos that has
been heard in Portland.
Entrance Not Theatrical.
Madame Jomelli's entrance on the
stage was not theatrical and the great.
invniv vol co was stealing out to us
hardly ere we were aware of her pres
ence. but admirers In the audience gave
her a warm welcome and applause that
thundered after each of her numDers.
Madame Jomelli gave four numbers
in all. The clarity of her voice, its
tremendous beauty and sweetness of
fna nnH the nerfect ease With Which
she sings gained for Madame Jomeu;
the friendship and genuine admiration
of many folk who would probably
never think of going to see and hear
grand opera.
. ir People Drawn to Vaudeville.
She draws new people to vaudeville
and at the same time confirmed vaude
ville nntrons are delighted with her
entertainment.
Madame Jomelli is an attraction
worth while. She sang first the Jewel
song from Faust in wonderful mood
and splendid voice. Then she drifted
to the homey songs. "Annie Laurie,'
which thrilled anew in Jomelli's lovely
far-ascending notes. "Home, sweet
Home." received new treatment in its
rendition bv this Holland prima donna,
and forgotten beauties of its lines lived
anew. Madame Jomelli has dramatic
ability and is a pleasing picture as she
sings.
Dancers Have Beautiful Act,
A beautiful offering is that of Mile.
Maryon Vadie and her corps de ballet
of six young lovely girls, all of whom
dance with slow, languorous grace and
harmony of movement. The little Vadie
calls to mind Bessie McCoy in her in
spirational Interpretations of Mendels
sohn's Spring song, the Plerette from
Chaminade and MaclJoweil s Autumn.
She is youth and radiant Joy incar
nate in her dancing. The ballet. In
flowing draperies, dance divinely to tne
"Beautiful Blue Danube." appearing
later in costume for a stately Renais
sance Gavotte. Especially picturesque
Is their interpretation, with Mile, vadie,
of a Bacchanal dance, their final and
triumphant number. This act was
roundly applauded throughout.
Patter and Song Ac Pleases.
Kate Elinore, a Kew"ple type, in fear
ful and wonderful clothes,, and Sam
Williams have an absurdity in patter
exchange, with an occasional song
that pleases mightily. A broken mir
ror forms the plot for an amusing bit
of nantomime which the Schwarz
company of two men and a pretty maid
present. Modestly the programme
states that "this act is presented by
the Creator."
George Austin Moore and Cordelia
Haager sing and tell stories in a new
way, with excursions into the realm
of terpsichore. Speaking- of dancing1,,
the first act on the bill positively stag
gers with its plethora of steps and
acrobatic gyrations. The Solti duo is
its sponsor. Owing to an unforseen
incident one of the acts, that of Mer
cedes and Mile. Stantone. a psychic ex
hibition, is omitted from the bill, but
each of the remaining acts gen
erously extend their offerings to meas

smiling" is the motto which bangs on
the mirror of "Billy" Sunday's chiffonier
in the evangelist's combined dressing

Sunday who makes the comfortable
rooms homelike. Carefully arrauged
roses on the evangelist's roll-top desk,
a pillow thoughtfully placed in "Billy's''
favorite armchair and a host of other
carefully thought-out details for his

fortable chairs, "Billy's" desk, chiffon
ier, telephone and all the other adjuncts
necessary for his comfort during his
nine weeks' campaign in this city. Ttie

large and sunny bathroom.
Although eight members of "Billy's"
family are housed with him, ten others
are living In apartment-houses in the
neighborhood, ail gathering at "1914"
for meals when they sit down, 18
strong, to meals prepared by "Billy's"
housekeeper.

assistant, and his wife; B. D. Ackley,
pianist; "Jack" Cardiff, ex-pugllist and
athletic trainer; Professor Homer

Guaranteed and City Most Pledge
$3000 Toward Support of Club.
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan 11. (Spe
cial. It is practically certain that

lard franchise In the Northwestern
League.
A tentative agreement was reached
Sunday at a meeting at Aberdeen at
which President Blewett and D. L.
Dugdale, of Seattle, were present
Montesano and Hoquiam were repre

deen will be guaranteed at least a
three-vear term in the league. On the
other hand Aberdeen is to raise $10,000
and to pledge J3000 toward the sup
port of the team.
A committee was appointed to
raise the monev necessary to meet the
terms proposed by John S. Barnes, who
has the franchise. According to a dis
patch from Aberdeen those interested
in the team there are confident of

SCHOOL BANISHES VANITY
Mirrors Removed and Powder Puffs
Outlawed to Giv4 Study a Chance.
WASHINGTON. Pa.. Jan. 3. A femi
nine uprising is imminent at Washing
ton High School. It became known
tonight that the first thing that would
bnnn after chapel exercises will be
the issuance of an order placing under
the ban vanity cases and similar arti
cles designed for feminine adornment.
The order will come as a result of
girl pupils of the high school recently
yielding too much time to the mirror
and powder puff and follows closely on
the drastic action of a grade teacher
who marched an even dozen young
ladies to the toilet-room, there to wash
paint and powder from their coun
tenances. Recently it was found that the high
school girls had very generally fallen
into the habit of spending much time
before the numerous mirrors scattered
about the building and .every mirror

Harold R. showed an unaccount
able falling off in his school work.
His teacher complained that he
seemed incapable of giving atten
tion during recitations,; had ap
parently lost the desire and ambi
tion to study. An examination of
his eyes by us showed a slight eye
strain, which glasses supplied by
us corrected. He is now doing
better work in school, and Rhows
his former desire and ambition to

A WINTER TONIC
Why is it that some people keep well
all Winter while others, less exposed to
cold and damp, suffer with folds, grip,
pleurisy, pneumonia and all the ills of
the season?
Thin blood and debility are the
causes of much sickness in Winter.
When the blood is thin and there Is
oxygen starvation in the tissues of the
body, poisons are retained that should
be eliminated and there Is a lowered
resistance to disease.
Rheumatism disappears when the
blood Is built up and does not return if
the blood is kept rich.
The after-effects of grip are never
cured until the blood is built up.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills enrich the
blood and enable it to carry more
oxygen, to nourish the starved tissues
in debility, to soothe the inflamed
membranes In rheumatism, to quiet the
nerves in neuralgia and sciatica and to
expel the lingering germs after the
fever and influenza of grip have passed.
All Winter Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
should be in every house, ready to use.
You can get them now at the nearest
drug store.
The third edition of the popular little
book "Building Up the Blood" has Just
been published. Write today to Ihe
