BY ADDISOX BENNETT. WALLA WALLA, Wash., April 24. (Special.) The O.-W. R. & N. demon stration train, with the Washington State College lecturers and demonstra tors, arrived here last evening and a little after 8 o'clock the party was met In the spacious parlors of the Commercial Club by a large audience. The principal speakers of the occa sion were Professor Leonard Hegnauer, Professor R. J. Barnett and Mrs. Helen Whlttaker. The former told of the purposes of the campaign. Professor Barnett spoke on the kitchen garden, and the latter on poultry raising. The speakers all received marked attention and their addresses were strictly In accord with their subjects. At 10 o'clock this morning the ex hibit car and the lecture car ware well filled with those who seemed deeply In terested in the objects of the campaign. After an Inspection of the exhibit car, Miss Mary E. Sutherland spoke on the preparation of food. This lady Is cer tainly one who not only understands every phase of the subject chosen, but knows, how to tell her story In an en tertaining and Impressive way. While she made no ascensns or flights In oratory, she held her audience to the closest attention and every word rang true and went right to the hearts of her hearers. She was followed by Professor Bar nett, on vegetable growing. The pro fessor understands as few do the whole subject of planting, cultivating and harvesting the products of the truck patch and he has a very winning way of sending his words understandingly to nis audience. At 1:30 this afternoon a large audi ence was gathered in the high school auditorium, where Mrs. Whlttaker took for her subject the care of growing chicks, and she made the cares of the poultryman during that critical period so plain that the smallest children could easily grasp the directions. She later followed, before another audi ence, on the subject of operating an Incubator, and handled the subject in her own Inimitable and interesting manner. At 2:30 Miss Sutherland gave a talk and demonstration on home can ning, and following her Professor Bar nett spoke on the subject of making use of the vacant lot. These discourses were both highly Illuminative and were handled in a pleasing manner. It is seldom that one sees the various speak ers on what may be called prosaic sub jects claim and receive so close atten tion as do all of the speakers In this party. Tonight the meetings here will con clude with another meeting at the Commercial Club parlors, the principal speakers toeing Professor Barnett and Mrs. Whlttaker, on their chosen subjects. M 'MURRAY JOIJfS FOOD TRAIN Passenger Agent of O.-W. R. & N. Co. Assists Demonstration Work. William McMurray, general passen ger agent for the O.-W. R. & N. Com pany, takes more than a passing inter est in the special food preparedness demonstration train now being operat ed by that company in Washington in co-operation with the State College of Washington. He left his offices In the Wells-I'argo building Monday night to rejoin the train at Walla Walla yes terday and he expects to travel with It for a few days to give his personal assistance to the work. He believes campaigns such as this are of the first importance at this time. GIRLS' KISSES CRITICISED Miss Danforth Says Honor Guard Has More Dignified Pnrpose. Miss Lucile Danforth, state manager or the Oirls National Honor Guard does not approve of the method of en couraging enlistments adopted by some of the members In Hood River, who were reported in a news story as kissing all the recruits good-bye.

On reading the dispatch she at once telephoned to Hood River and found that some of the members of the Guard there were guilty of the cnarga of kissing the recruits good-bye. Her sen timents on that score were conveyed to the Hood River contingent. .- . "we want the public to know that we are Interested In vital things end that oar activities are much more dig nlfied than the activities of the Hood River girls would indicate," says Miss Uanrorth.

We learn from an underground source that not a Fox man would enlist in the Home Guards until Doris Pawn volun teered to don the attire of a Red Cross nurse. Hal Lock wood claims to have an Bng ilsh setter that howled during the Los Angeles dog show when he was kept at the studio and did not cease until a blue ribbon was tied on his tall.

Harry . Rover, of Art Dramas, is an other producer who raves against the star system." However, these ravings are not injuring the drawing power of Mary Plckford, Douglas Fairbanks, Bill Hart, Marguerite Clark, Clara Kimball Young, et aL m An adaptation of a recently published novel of the "best seller" class will be the next vehicle for Kitty Gordon, the World-Brady star.

The stage hands at the Morosco stu dio, after reading how the stokers and deckhands on the trans-Atlantic liners have been striking for double pay be cause of the risks involved In encoun tering submarines, have been Inspired to adopt similar tactics because of the faot that a large and ferocious looking bear Is playing In "The Marcellinl Mil lions" with George Beban. The subma rine dangers are comparatively remote, they claim, as against the risks of hav ing one's arm removed by an affection ate caress from Bruno. Because Beban is tired of- life and quite willing to mix socially with Bruin, they see no reason for adopting suicidal policies themselves. DR. G. W. HINMAN SPEAKER Mrs. A. C.
