Modern Oliver Twist Story Is Film Half of New Bill at Strand Theater. Ruth Stonehouse, the butterfly star who romped Into the hearts of photo play fans months ago in a series of fascinating romance plays, features in a modern Oliver Twist story in "The Edge of the Law," which la the film half of the new bill that opened at the Strand Theater yesterday afternoon. Miss Stonehouse first appears in dis guise as a boy, compelled to work as a pickpocket by the pawnbroker who controls her like a modern Fagln. Opportunity offers and her quick wits enable her to escape and, eventu ally, reformed and taken into a good family, she relapses into her former tricks but this time it is to obtain possession of documents that will save her benefactor from a blackmailer. She leads a detective a chase that supplies an abundance of exciting comedy in the play. And, of course, there Is the love story in the plot and it is a mighty pretty and sweet little love story, too. The vaudeville bill runs the gamut of variety, from Eddie Kole, blackface comedian with a series of "nut" songs, to the Superba Duo, a pair of gymnastic comedians with some crashing knock about feats. They end their act with a barrel - jumping feature that is a thriller. Gertrude Powell, pretty as yellow sunshine and roses and, by the way, formerly with the Douglas Fairbanks company in the motion pictures, has a singing act that is attractive, and the bill closes with Gerald and Griffith, a man and woman whose act runs all to "class" and who have some stunning character singing offerings. GARDENERS GET BUSY W. K. EWKI.L SAYS WORK SHOULD BECI.v KOW. Getting Ground In Condition for Plant ing In Spring I All Important. If you want your Spring garden to be a success, you should begin prepara tions now. This is the advice of Assistant Food Administrator W. K. Newell, who says no time should be lost In beginning the work of making the ground ready. "Old vines, weedsand rubbish should be cleaned up Immediately," said Mr. Newell last night, "and if the weeds are full of seeds they should be burned; if not, they should be spaded under with the old vines to rot and enrich the soil. If stable manure is obtaina ble, apply this and then plow or spade the land. Following this, sow rye seed at the proportion of 40 pounds to the acre, which would be about five pounds to the ordinary city lot. This seed can be harrowed or raked under, and it will grow during tho Winter and produce much valuable plant food by Spring. If sown now it will be six or eight inches high in the Spring, when it can be spaded under and will put the soil in splendid condition mechan ically as well as adding fertility. "The heavy clay soils need this par ticularly. If this preparation is made gardening next Spring will be very much easier and the crops will not dry out so badly. If rye seed cannot be had, wheat or oats mixed with a little vetch will do, but rye is best. If any new gardening grounds are to be pre pared, by all means this work should be done at once." For October days at college or in business the right equip ment is at this leading specialty store for the things men and boys wear. Stop and see the conventional suits, as well as the individual ized new ideas from the House of Kuppenhehner. Nor is it too early to inspect the exclusive showing of overcoats. The Lion Specials are priced at $14, $17, $20; those built by Kuppen heimer at $25, $30, $35. And give the boy the right sort of spirit by outfitting him at a man's shop. Morrison at Fourth. Gus. Kuhn, Pres. S. & H. Stamps Given. committed to the Insane Asylum at Salem this week by County Judge E. C. Kirkpatrick. The lad's condition is said to be caused by an injury to his head In an automobile accident about a year ago. At times he appears r-uite rational, but when taken into custody by Sheriff Orr he was violently insane. EVERY FEATURE IS HIT NEW BILL AT HIPPODROME IS ALL AROUND TRIUMPH. Features Include Eddie Tanner In "When We- Grow Up" and Pathe Photoplay. It would require a man with the wis dom of Solomon to place the honors where they properly belong on the new bill which opened at the Hippodrome yesterday afternoon. Each act is in a class by itself and no two are alike. Eddie Tanner and company return to Portland for four days, after an ab sence of three years, in the rural com edy sketch, "When We Grow Up." The sketch played at the Empress three seasons ago and the original cast Is carrying away its share of the laurels with the act this week. La Petite Elva, a tiny, doll-like per sonage, has a fine assortment of cos tumes and her songs and Scotch im personations are worthy of a "big time" booking. When it comes to variety, Deveaux and Dell, a clever man and a pretty girl, take the lead with their songs and ventriloquism. Jennings and Barlow, "vaudevillians de luxe," keep the audience in an up roar with their foolish songs and rapid fire chatter. The Eugene Page Players, five wom en and two men, are talented mu sicians, and introduce several vocal numbers which balance their part of the bill to a nicety. An acrobatic act which offers real thrills is presented by Virgil and La Blanche. "In the Wake of the Huns," a Pathe photoplay, which depicts the terrible war being waged in Europe, rounds out the bill for the first half of the week. WORK AT MINE IS RESUMED WORK APPEAL IS MADE DR. D. A. THOMPSON VS SEnMOX URGES PATRIOTISM. Totes for Officers Tie. GRESHAM", Or., Sept. 80. (Special.) t The students of Union High School Pastor of Mlzpah Presbyterian Con gregation Declares Idle Ship yard Cost American LItfs. From the pulpit of "Mlzpah Presbyte rian Church yesterday morning. Dr. D. A. Thompson, the pastor, delivered a patriotic sermon on "Consecrated Ser vice," during which he made a strong appeal for the ending of the shipyards strike in Portland and pointedly de clared that every moment of delay in construction of vessels entails loss of life." Dr. Thompson declared that it is a sad mistake for anyone to take advan tage of a time like the present, when the world is aflame with the bitter ness of war and our own country plunged in with the others. It will not do, he said, for any man or set of men, employers or employes, to take any action tending to retard the progress of the country's forces in this dreadful time of conflict with a world power of frlghtfulness, and he called upon all those who have any Influence one way or another to exercise it for the good of the common cause of democracy and the extinction of the idea that might is right and shall prevail. "To win the war, the President and his Cabinet and all concerned in di recting it unite in the declaration that we must have more ships," said Dr. Thompson. What a pity that for any reason construction work should be brought to a standstill and our boys thus imperiled. God grant that work may speedily be resumed and action be had that will Insure the support in a material way of every American citizen." MATZENAUERJSEAT SALE.

"These will be collected and dis tributed through the Portland Library Association to the war cantonments throughout the country. "Read magazines not more than a month old. or weeklies not older than 15 days will be acceptable. We hope to have a large response in this patriotic work." LODGE'S NAME IS CHANGED Women of Woodcraft Are Neighbors of Woodcraft. SALEM. Or., Sept. 30. (Special.) Frank S. Grant, of Portland. Saturday filed articles with Corporation Commis sioner Schuldernian changing the name of the Women of Woodcraft to the Neighbors of Woodcraft. The reason for changing the name as given by Mr. Grant was that the lodge started admitting men a number of years ago, and now male members of the order object to the title, which makes the lodge appear as purely a feminine organization.

Mobilizing for the War Your Uncle Sam is getting ready to fight. All over the country, hundreds of thousands of artisans are busy with war preparations. Great warships are sliding off the ways; navy-yards and arsenals are working night and day; great mobilization camps are springing up as if by magic; everywhere the vast resources of the Nation are being gathered together for war. All over the Bell telephone system, thousands of employes are busily engaged in all branches of telephone activity, to keep pace with the extraor dinary telephone needs of the Nation. Everywhere poles are being set and wires strung, central office equipment increased, new long-distance lines constructed between important points and telephone facilities increased. The greater and more varied the Government's war activities become, the greater will be the demands upon the Bell system for service. With the increased Government requirements, there will be greater demands for commercial service. The scarcity of material and labor have set definite limits to the amount of new construction, and the needs of the individual must be subordinated to those of the Nation. It is going to be harder to supply new telephones, extension telephones and to put up wire to new telephone stations, because of the vast amount of telephone equipment devoted to the service of the Government, and because the Bell organization has contributed heavily to the draft, and many of our technically trained men have voluntarily joined the colors. When you use the telephone, we ask you to remember the patriotic service we are rendering the Government, the extraordinary conditions we are facing, and to help us maintain good service by a conservative use of your telephone and equipment.
