Campaign.
Early this morning General Robert
E. Smith will issue his laconic order,
"shoot." He may use more classic
language than this, but the word will
go down the line through bis four
brigadier-generals heading the four
divisions, through their colonels to
captains and lieutenants, for the line
to sweep forward and take the whole
town by storm.

Quick Action Wanted.
It only remains for every citizen of
Portland to respond to the spirit so
manifest throughout the campaign
army. Every person approached Is
urged to do his part and do It quickly.
General Smith calls upon everyone to
save his own tiroe and that of the
solicitor by deciding beforehand upon
the very biggest amount he can give
to the chest and fe'lve thut amount
quickly.
It will be only by doing this that
Portland people will make it possible
for the campaign to be completed
within the week, and this Is the high
hope of everybody engaged In it. In

that If citizens will fall In line with
this suggestion and act accordingly,
the big drive can be put over within
threo days.
The public Is urged not to hem and
huw when the solicitor arrives and

tho subscription should be. The an
swer to any of these doubts Is that
contributions should be Just as much

General Smith's army, to the last
man, is going to do its full duty. It
has been trained to the minute, and
is "in the pink." For a week now
many of the generals, colonels, cap
tains and lieutenants have been on
their toes and champing at the bit.
They are determined that the maxi
mum result shall be reached within
the shortest possible time and every
single one wants the public generally
to co-operate by giving quickly and
saving time.
Kfflclenry Is Proved.
A year's operation of tho commu
nity chest has proved to the satisfac
tion of all Portland the efficiency and
economies in this new way of handling
Portland's work. This Is another
reason for the . confidence felt that
the campaign will be a short and de
cisive one, with victory obtained be
fore the week's end.
During last year's campaign, the
first drive In Portland for community
client funds, every prospect supplied
an argument that had to be overcome
before subscriptions were obtained.
It Is believed this will not be the case
this year, but that as soon as the
lieutenant appears to take contribu
tions, the citizen will be ready, even
with his pen in hand or his wallet
open, to give and give smilingly,
knowing that this one drive elimin
ates all others throughout the whole
year.
.No greater sens of satisfaction
ni'l be felt by the triumphant lieu
tenant who takes these willing con
tributions than by the subscriber to
tliu chest himself, who must realize
the tremendous benefits to the city's
unfortunate by reason of his gener
csity. Bombs To. Be Set Off. ,

BT LEONE CASS BAER,
THERE Is such a distinct quality
of cultured and intelligent work
manship in "Jim's Girl," which opened
for a week's run last night at the
Baker, that It will undoubtedly de
light those who visit tthe playhouse
for the purpose of having their wits
sharpened and for amusement of a
diverting, refined character.
Uy clever dialogue that represents
the conversation of Just such persons
as the play contains, and not the pat
ter of pseudo smart comedies, the
charm of an excellent performance
by a carefully trained cast, and above
all the delightful humor of its comedy.
the play carries a distinct appeal.
Its leisurely construction rather
heightens the Interest by way of giv
ing more time to the careful develop
ment of Its main Idea, namely, 'the
advent of Jim's girl, and the part
she plays In the community of the
small town of Rumor, Ind.
The whole performance provides no
particularly exacting test of the abili
ties of the Baker players, because the
types are those of small-town folk,
which roles fall so often to stock
actors, that no wide variation from
the usual is expected. These roles,
the social, literary and civic lights of
the village do, however, furnish op
portunities for plcturesqueness color
and vitality in characterization, and
these were readily and admirably-
grasped.
Jims girl Is a pathetic small figure,

to the America she has always loved.
aking passage as a stowaway on an
army transport in order to be near
the big Jim with whom she has fallen

Scandal follows on the heels of tho
girl's arrival in Jim's home, for ttfat
young American takes her directly
to his home when her presence is dis
covered upon landing. Red tape ac
companies her admission into the
country and the citizens ot Rumor,
Indiana, attach a significance in the
presence of the girl at Jim's home.
That young Boldier has returned to
find that during his absence over

been financially ruined by one old
Hiram Butch, the political leader of
the county, who had taken advantage
of her lack of ' business understand

The task before the boy Jim is to
win back for his mother and himself
the prestige and moneys concerned
in the deal, made unwittingly by his
mother and the old skinflint. He has
a task also to set the French girl
right In the eyes of the narrow
visioned populace, and this he ac
complishes, along with other victo

Lyric.
EN DILLON and Al Franks add to
their reputation as one of the
most popular comedy teams in the
west by their' laugh-getting efforts
in "The Two Thieves," the new mu
sical comedy offering that opened at
the Lyric yesterday afternoon.
The characters of Mike Dooley and
Ike Leschlnskl, played respectively
by Dillon and Franks, have a flock
of merry adventures In athe new
show, and each adventure Is the sig
nal for many' laughs. Although Dil
lon and Franks have worked to
gether for many seasons, the combi
nation seems to have a firm grasp
on Lyric patrons, judging from the
hearty reception given the pair of
fan-making favorites yesterday aft
ernoon.
"The Two Thieves" Is another of
the pleasing plays gathered by Dil
lon in the course of his temporary
retirement from the footlights re
cently. In the leisure of his life as
a gentleman farmer in southern Cal

shows, and he picked a winner in the
current attraction.
The opening number, in which the
Rosebud chorus maids appear in cos
tumes that blend like a rainbow, is
up to the standard of many a $2

There are enough laughs in the
action of the plot to scrap the blues
of the audience for more than an
hour. But the merit of the play does
not rest alone on comedy. The song
numbers go over in fine style, espe
cially "Italian Serenade." sung by
Ted Ulunark: "Irene." by Howard
Evans, and "By the Old Ohio Shore,"
by Dorothy Raymond. An effective
number Is "I Want My Mammy," by
Jewel LaVelle, with Anna Chick pos

hit singing "Whistle the Blues

Continued inquiries during the past
week from the railroads for prices on
car materials and the upper grades
of lumber have added encouragement
to the hopes of the lumbermen of the
northwest for future buainess.
The export business has not In
creased and conditions remain the
same as they have been since the
first of the year. Reports from
Japan and other points of the orient
are that the porta are congested to
such a degree that there ia no possi
bility for an increased business for
some time. The lumbermen, bow
ever, are Inclined to the belief that
rtils excuse is made while the deeper
motive on the part of the oriental
purchasers is to bring the market
down.
Prospects Look Good.
The Atlantic coast trade during the
week has remained the same as pre
vlously, but indications for future
business are promising.
There ia at present no inclination
on the part of the agricultural dis
tricts to make lumber purchases
These districts are in dire need of
lumber to carry on their building
demands, but they have not the
money or the credit to make pur
chases. Lumbermen have practically
given up hopes of receiving large
.orders from the farming districts
until after tha next crops are har
vested. California Feels Market.
California lumber salesmen have
been in the northwest during the
week getting in touch with- the lum
bermen and the mills are making
preparations for a great increase in
business when weather permits.
There was no Increase felt during
the past week, howevar. This has
been due to the fact that weather
conditions have been bad.
The storms in southern California
held up the demands for lumber for
two weeks after the first of the year.
These storms were followed by se
vere frosts and the delay in orders
was continued. Salesmen reported
that within a short time the Cali
fornia demand will be much greater.
Los Angelea and the entire southern
part of the -state will buy in large
volumes, as was the case all last
year.
Striken Stop Baying.
In 1921 the strike of building
trades of San Francisco - held up
building to the extend that there
were few orders 'from that section.
This strike has practically been set
tled and a great demand for lumber
Is expected. In order to carry on the
building that was held up last year
and proceed with the plans for this
season, greater orders will be placed
with Oregon mills.
It Is the universal opinion of lum
bermen here that within three weeks
the lumber market will show a great
improvement. There can be no
question but what the railroads are
preparing to buy In large volumes.
Their Inquiries for prices have been
coming into the offices of the leading
mills of the northwest since the first
of the year. Where there are In
quiries purchases will follow, according-
to the lumbermen.
Koada Need Cars.
Last year there was scarcely any
buying among the railroads. They
made the old cars suffice to carry on
their business. Now. business condi
tions with them have felt an improve
ment and cars must be constructed to
meet the demands.
The shingle market Is weak for so
reason other than that the ordinary
markets are not purchasing. The
mills look for a much Stronger mar
ket as soon as weather conditions im
prove. Some of the mills have closed
down, but others have continued to
run and are stocking their output
so that they may be prepared when
better prices and stronger demand
prevail
Lumbermen Are Hopeful.
Lumbermen are not pessimistic over
the fact that conditions during the
past week have not been what they
had hoped. They realize that weather
conditions have been such that an In
creased business could not have been
expected. They pin their hopes of
the future in the increased demands
from the railroads, industrial centers
of the east and the markets of Cali
fornia. They also look for a revival
of the export business within a short
tirsre. The orient needs lumber and
the demands can only be supplied by
the mills of the northwest.
Reports of the Four L represents
tlves throughout tne northwest were
practically identical with the Infor
mation that comes direct from the
lumbermen themselves. The lumber
demand from all sources, except the
agricultural, is good. Actual busi
ness Is not developing rapidly, but
nevertheless exists, and has been
held back because buyers think that
the price advances will be rescinded.
Japaneae Buying Slumps.
The Four-L mills reported a fall
ing off of Japanese business. Em
ployment conditions are stationary.
but indications are that, starting
February. 1, unemployment will de
crease rapidly.
Weather conditions have been re
