Mr. MeFarland represented the Portland Realty Board. He said that the Realty Board had started a campaign in behalf of the Oregon cordwood and slabwood for the reason that they are Oregon products. "Take, for instance, 1000 cords of wood." said Mr. MeFarland. "The man who cuts it gets his share, the railroad for transportation takes a share, and the distribution of the wood pays trib ute, and when delivered to a Portland user it costs from $5 to J 6, but every dollar is spent in Oregon. The owner of the land gets it cleared and there is profit all along for Oregon men. "The Oregon Insane Asylum Is using oil for fuel. This is only a beginning. But the saving is small, if any, while the money is sent out of the state. In Multnomah County oil- Is being used in the Sellwood. Alblna and St. Johns ferries and at the Multnomah farm, at a cost or 13.07." At the close of Mr. McFarland's ad dress a resolution was adopted approv ing the movement started by the Port land Realty Board, and authorizing the appointment of a committee of three to co-operate with the Board in its campaign. C. J. Glover, of the Coin Machine Company, outlined his company's plans, saying It had purchased three acres be tween East Fifteenth and East Six teenth streets, on Holgate street, on which a large factory will be erected within a year. OLD FRIENDS MEET Charley Grapewin Recalls Play Here 26 Years Ago. CIRCUS STARTED BUT FAILS Orphean Actor Sees John F. Cordrari Maurice B. Smith and Thomas Hnf faker and Spins Stories of First Attempts on Stage. ' Charley Grapewin made a flying leap from a trapeze bar to a speaking part on the legitimate theater right here in Portland 26 years ago. Today he Is starring a,t the local Orpheum as one of the top-notchers on the bill. Yesterday Mr. Grapewin .was hob nobbing with his first manager, John F. Cordray, and swapping experiences with Maurice Barrymore Smith and Thomas Hoffaker. "It's just like getting home to be in the Northwest and have a whole week here in Portland again," said the hero-traveling man of "Poughkeepste." Last week I visited seven days with John Considine at Seattle. This .week I am trotting around with the boys who were helping Cordray In stock produc tions at the old Museum. Smith was then the treasurer for Cordray and Mr. Huffaker was assistant stage carpen ter. It is quite a coincidence that the latter two should be with me at the Orpeum this season. Clreut Scheme Worked for Time. Those were the happy days all right I must tell you this one. In 1888 I was a member of an aerial act which worked circuses. We broke up the act In Seattle and I caught on with Mr. Considine at his old Peoples Thea ter. One day he told me that he owned an 80-foot tent and suggested that we put out a circus. . Two of our perform rs were Joe Belmont, now champion leaper of the world, and Eddie Silvon, still with Barnum. At that time one of the famous cir cus organizations was the McMann Shows. We called ourselves the Mc Mahons and cut in behind the McMann outfit in order to get business on their reputation. We got along all right for a few weeks. Then the McMann people earned about us and sent back a bunch of canvassmen to clean us up. That was the prettiest fight anybody lever saw. But we closed. Soon afterward I got a place with Mr. Cordray, doing a trapeze act in the old Musee. Table Smashing Takes Well. The stock: was playing 'Cloud' one week and a performer was taken ill. I offered to take the part. You're crazy. You are an acrobat. was all the stage manager gave me in encouragement. However, I got the part and went on that night. In one scene I had -to strike table with my fist. There was a bot tle of Ink on the table and I was pret ty strong for trapeze work. When I hit that table I broke it in pieces and the ink flew all over me. Mr. Cordray rushed back on the stage and said 'Keep that man in that part and order a case of ink. I want him to smash that table every night!' Well, I stayed at the Musee two years and only left when Frank Daniels came along and saw me do a double turn one in the stock company and one on the trapeze. He wanted a man to do something like that in his new play, Dr. Cupid.' I got the place." RED LETTER DAY Tomorrow 10 Free Stamps to All Visitors to Premiiim Parlors ROSE-PLANTING IS URGED Campaign Started to Induce Arleta People to Set Oat Bashes. It is planned to make Arleta one of the most attractive suburbs of the city, and a general campaign has been started by the Parent-Teacher Asso ciation, to induce the citizens -there tp plant roses in their home yards. The campaign was outlined at a meeting held Friday night in the Arleta school house. It is planned to extend th work in the school garden throughout the entire community. Howard Evarts Wood In his address explained that the school garden work was not primarily to raise garden truck for sale, but teach the pupils the rudiments of gardening so they could use them in thefc home gardens. Mr. Weed discussed the plans of the city beautiful committee of the Rose Festival. He said that he would dls tribute at actual cost to each pupil loganberry plant and grapevine to be planted at the homes of the pupils. F. S.

M. This is the first time an exposition of Oregon and the state's wonderful resources has ever been made in mo tion pictures. The camera man visited farms, dairies and factories. All prin cipal Industries of the state are shown upon the screen. Wonderful effects bare been pro cured from a trip along the Columbia Highway, which shows some of the finest scenery in the world. A particu lar!;' beautiful picture was obtained from the falls along the roadway, which were recently frozen. As few persons have traveled over this new roadway. Views of Portland 50 years ago were secured by the reprinting of a number of old photographs. A comparison of the city then and now gives an excel lent idea of the wonderful growth. Recent current events of interest also are illustrated. They include a view of the party on the recent trip of the Ro sarians to California: the golf tourna ment at the Waverly club; a paper chase of the Portland Hunt Club; mid winter sports on the Willamette river. Including diving from the bridges: skiing on Mount Hood, and a joint meeting of commercial bodies boosting for Greater Oregon. A picture of the winner of the Rose Festival slogan contest also is shown. Izzy tlie Frenchman" Teems With. Tlrk llngr Comedy, Entire Cost Appearing In Langbmaker Vaudeville Next. ' I The farewell engagement of the Lyric Stock Company began yesterday with a sparkling farce, "Izzy the Frenchman. It is an unusually good burlesque, with clever acting on the part of members of the cast. Al Franks takes the part of the Hebrew who studied French in hopes of winning foreign lodgers. When he obtained a French roomer he got his "English" so confounded with his French that he was unable to explain himself lucidly. . Lew Dunbar made a hit as tbe wild husband of the fairy-like woman who "ran away with that frog-eating Frenchman." and Jeanne Mai capered in a brand new gown of blue as 'the wife. Of all the parfs Joe Kemper has taken. none is so suited o his ability as the part of the Frenchman in this playlet. He has an ascent that might make a lady's maid grow "green with envy, and his little mustache adds to him the air of a Parisian. Ethel Burney makes a charming daughter of the French Hebrew who is in love with the real Frenchman, and Marie Celestine disports admirably as the wife of "Izzy." The special added - attraction this week is clever singing and dancing by two boys. Hereafter the Lyrio will be devoted to vaudeville and motion pictures, Sat urday night being the last appearance of this company. MR. DIM1CK DRAWS FIRE A. DeBanw Kesents Criticisms Of Xaval Militia's Value. Discussing State Senator Dlmlck's re ported comments -on the Oregon Naval Militia, A. DeBauW, a member of the organization, yesterday made the fol lowing statement: "Senator Dimick thinks that all we have is a clubhouse or a hangout. Per haps it would be well to impress on his mind that our work is done voluntarily, and not one cent is asked from the state or Federal Government, only for the upkeep of the cruiser Boston. Hav ing been on cruises, I know well that they were not excursions or joy-rides. Many of us are forced to give up our jobs to take the cruises.. We go be cause we can be useful to our country should we be called upon." Dear Miss ELAINE There is a very simple help. for you one that never fails. You can help yourself. What I mean to say, is that by thinking deeply and refusing to admit that there is harm about you, that all harm will dis appear. We are peculiar beings, we humans: as we think we are. And we can frighten ourselves into im agining we are in all sorts of danger. Think you are away from harm, and you will have no harm. E. A. B.

Take a Glass of Salts If Your Back Hurts or Bladder Troubles You. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing tha kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority.

Nearly all rheu matism, headaches. liver trouble. nervousness. dlssiness. sleeplessness and urinary disorders com from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull achs in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine Is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment Irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of Jad Halts from any phar macy; take a tanjespoontul In a glass of water before breakfast and in a few days your kidneys will act tine.
