Particularlv pertinent is the Baker
play ahis week. Inasmuch as It deals
with the thrills of wartime. Its story
is set to the popping of pistols, the roar
of cannon aad the martial music of fife
and drum. A colorful note Is sounded
in the blue and gray army costumes of
the men, with their flashing decora
tions of braids and buttons, and the
heriitrieri wide-snreading picturesque
gowns of the women a style, by the
way, that has long lain in
mother's chest, only to be brought out
for 1915. It is a fetching and grace
ful fashion and the women players In
the Baker Company applied it ingeni
ously and in original adaptations.
The play itself is one of the real
thrillo-dramatic plays that are not be
ing written nowadays.
Two Love Themes In Play.

Is or heroic canoer aimousii v.
ceptance as such depends greatly on
which side of the Mason and Dixon line

An important meeting of the Oregon
Hop Growers' Association was held Sat
urday afternoon at the Imperial Hotel,
wliere many Portland hopgrowers met
with the board of directors of the asso
ciation. .....
Phil Metschan, Sr., who in addition to
being a hotel man, is a large grower of
hops, presided at the -meeting and in
troduced H. B. Miller, who has been a
leader in the co-operative movement for
30 years. Mr. Miller spoke of the great
advantages the hopmen would have in
co-operation, inasmuch as their terri
tory and product is restricted to com
paratively few buyers.
M. I Jones, of Brooks, explained the
objects of the association and several
who had nof previously joined signed
for stock in the association.
A representative from nearly every
section of the state was present.
Officers of the association declared
that since the organization was formed
the price of hop contracts for the 1915
crop has stiffened materially, and 15
cents now is being offered freely. The
members are holding firm, and It is
believed the association can carry them
through to a good price for their hops,
not only this year, but in future, years.
Among the out-of-town growers pres
ent at the meeting were: J. S. Cooper,
of Independence; H. B. Fletcher, of In
dependence: M. L. Jones, of Brooks;
Walter Miller, of McMinnville; F. J.

Mr. Brookings' first care is for people
with little or no means whose only
prospect seems to-be by way of the
land. He has succeeded in listing 00

land upon the share basis will ba ac

In many instances families without
means require some little money to tide
them over until they can get their first

ple who are willing to grubstake such
people 'to the extent of 10 a month or
less for a period of a few months until
they can harvest a crop.

Campbell's Tomato Soup
It has the same wholesome purity, tho
same delicacy and richness combined, which
you would have in tomato soup made at
home, if you could obtain such materials as
we use, and if you could afford time and
bother. But these "ifs" are altogether too
troublesome for the practical housewife to
worry over. How much more sensible to
let us relieve you of this needless care and
expense I
Enjoy the home-flavor
without the home - worry.
Enjoy it again today.
