BALEM, Or.. ApHl 23. (Special.)-.-Wllford Allen, editor of the Rogue Riv er Courier and president of the Grants Pass Commercial Club, today was ap pointed by Governor Wlthycombe as a member of the Industrial Accident Com mission, to fill the place left vacant by Lieutenant-Colonel Carle Abrams, who also was chairman of the commission. Lieutenant-Colonel Abrams Is with the Third Oregon Infantry, which was called out at the declaration of war. The appointment of Mr. Allen de pends, for Its duration, entirely upon the duration of the present war. Reorganization In Doubt. At any time upon the return of Lieutenant-Colonel Abrams, after being re leased from service, Mr. Allen will vol untarily leave the position. The commission will now Include Mr. Allen, Harvey Beckwith and W. A. Marshall. It Is not known whether there will be any reorganization, but It is proDable that a temporary chairman will be selected to serve as head of the commission until the return of Lieutenant-Colonel Abrams. Under the law the commissioners, In the absence of one of the commission ers, may either select a deputy, or his absence may be filled by the appoint ment of a commissioner by the Gover nor. Need of Appointment Felt. "I believe It better that a commis sioner be named," stated Governor Wlthycombe in reference to the ap pointment. "This commission Is one of the most Important of any in the state, and Its work is of such a nature as to make It practically imperative that there be three commissioners, rather than two commissioners and a deputy. "It Is understood that Mr. Allen will serve only during the absence of Lieutenant-Colonel Abrams while that offi cer Is away on military duty. "Mr. Allen will come to the commis sion, with the highest of recommenda tions from those who know him. I have known Mr. Allen Intimately for a num ber of years, and I know his work will reflect credit on the commission. "It Is essential, with a commission of this kind, that men of considerable ability be named to perform the duties which devolve upon the office, and Mr. Allen Is a man of that caliber." RECRUITING RALLY IS PLAN Miss Kutli Ii. B. Price to Preside at Meeting Saturday Night. A rally to stimulate recruiting In the Navy will be held at Library Hall Saturday night. Miss Ruth L. B. Price will preside at that time, and there will be addresses by a number of prom tnent men of the city.

Ex-Manager of Oaks Makes Good at Place Behind Plate and Can Stand Work. " Manager Fred Yapp Mitchell has five catchers on the Cub team, and it is a certainty that he Is not going to keep more than three of them. Where the other two will be shipped to is a mat-' ter of conjecture. They may be sent to minor league clubs or used In trades with teams in the National League. Kowdy Elliott, last season manager of the Oakland Pacific Coast League club until Del Howard took over the ribbons, will not be released to a minor league outfit or even used In a trade. If Frank Le Roy Chance, of the Angels, ever did really have a hunch that he might secure Elliott from the Cubs, Rowdy has knocked his plans to smithereens. For Rowdy has made good. Elliott Is one of the best catchers on Mitchell's .staff. The opportunity is what he has been longing for since he went up from the Coast last Fall. Elliott Is not as big as Manager Mitchell likes a catcher to be, but is constructed so powerfully that he can stand as much work as the biggest re ceiver in the game. And he Is aggres siveness personified. The Cubs are not a bit weak behind the plate with Elliott catching. He can do everything any of the other catchers can do, and it is believed that if he is kept in the garaa continually he will hit the ball hard. WOMAN ACTS OWN LIFE UERHU'E SHONE SEEKS TO MAKE ORPHEUM AUDIENCES GLAD. Actress Appears In OIary Ann," Assist ed by Company of Seven Work Is Poetic Fantasy. It was a simple matter for Ilermhie Shone to discover the idea of her latest offering, "Mary Ann," which she is presenting at the Orpheum, assisted by company or seven. All she had to do was to visualize actual portions of her own life, then Emmet De Voy, her hus band, in collaboration with Harold Brook, proceeded to knit them together into a poetic fantasy which is a work of rare dramatic and literarv merit- Mary Ann, as portrayed by Miss Shone, is virtually a study of every woman passing through the various stages of life. "I do not want fickle fame, nor chests of glittering gold," exclaimed Miss Shone. . "But I wish with all my heart to be remembered by all who see me. I shall be happy to know I have given them the feeling, 'Gee, after all, it's good to be alive.' " FINE STOCK IS PURCHASED Gaston Owners Add Pure-Bred Ani mals to Herds.

"The appointment of the State Coun ell of Defense has been made at the direct request of Secretary of War Baker, who is also chairman of the National Council of Defense," said Gov ernor Wlthycombe today In announcing the appointments. Object Is Supervision. "Its purpose Is to establish an offl clal state organization to work in con junction with the Federal Council and to co-operate with the various activi ties and organizations already under way locally. Presumably it will be the supervising agency through which the Plans of the Government as regards economic mobilization in Oregon will be out into effect." At the request of Governor Wlthy combe a meeting will be called lmme diately. the council to meet In Port land and select one of Its members to represent Oregon at the Nation-wide conference which Secretary Baker has called to meet In Washington May 2. Governor Lister, of Washington, to day telegraphed Governor Withycombe making the suggestion that this con ference be attended also by the West ern executives In person, but Governor Withycombe expressed himself as be lieving that he could do more good at home. He believes, particularly, that It would be proper for a member of the State Council to attend the meeting in person that he may become thoroughly familiarized with the plana of the Fed ew.1 authorities, and learn what is be ing undertaken In other states. Labor to Be Distributed. The State Council, it is understood, will adopt a plan of appointing sub committees for the direct adminlstra tion of such matters as the distribution of labor where It will do the most crood. provide for agricultural develop ment seed distribution, recruiting, taking the census of Industrial and man power, and handling other mat ters as they arise from time to time, Much of this work, I well realize. Is largely under way," said Governor Wlthycombe. "Especially Is this true In agricultural mobilization, where good state organization already started. The fullest co-operation with the agencies whose plans are now be lng formed will be forthcoming. It 1 not the Idea that the State Council supersede any committees or organlza tions In active existence, but simply to co-ordinate their efforts for the great est general efficiency. Oregon' Record Landed. 'Oregon seems to have made an en viable National record In getting her state troops ready for service, and an other record In Army and Navy recruit ing. It is now my nope mai we may set still another record in prompt and pa triotic co-operation with the National Council of Defense through our State Council. The Governor asserted that he be- lieyes the results from the conference called by President Kerr, held in Port land last Saturday, will be excellent and In this connection dwelt upon the Immediate desirability of collecting funds locally for purchase and distri bution of seed. Irrespective of whether or not Oregon receives any Federal financial aid. 'Should the time come when the Gov ernment deems It necessary to regulate prices and pass other drastlo war-time legislation regulating food distribution along the lines adopted In European countries. Bald the Governor, "presum ably the State Council would be the lo cal agency directing the work, at least In an advisory capacity with Federal officers." 140 FILE FOR LANDS Settling of Tule Lake Reclaimed Tracts Ia liegnn.

Frank Adams, prominent rancher, who owns large areas of deeded land in the neighborhod of these homestead .lands, the land lying in California consti tutes some of the choicest and most desirable units In the whole area, and it is not known here why there should be so few seekers of land lying over the border.

We benefit by the Power of Efficiency just the same as you, because Where we were able to sell one suit the old way at $25, $30, $35, $40 and $45, we will sell five now at no greater selling cost. And while our profit on each sale at $20 or $30 will be small, the total will be more by reason of the in creased number of sales.
