ATTEMPT TO IiOOT RESTAU
i KANT REGISTER FOILED.
Cook Shows Fight When Demand
tor Cash Is Made and Would
Be Robbers Flee.
i
"Three unmasked outlaws attempt
fed to rob the Chief Lunch, at Elev
enth and Morrison streets, early
yesterday morning, and, after firing
threo shots at F. R. Doloff, night
cook, ran when the cook showed
light and refused to open the cash
register.
The three men had eaten at the
restaurant. When they started to
depart two took positions at the
door and the third approached the
cash register, where Doloff waited
to receive their money.
"Give us all the money you
bave," the man demanded.
Doloff refused and reached for a
pistol. Customers started to enter
the place and the two men at the
door became frightened and ran
away, leaving their comrade be
hind. The deserted highwayman
fired three shots to frighten Doloff,
but they failed to have any effect.
He then turned and fled.
Doloff fired one shot at the rob
ber as he left the place. He gave
the police an accurate description
of the trio.
IRISH CRIME IS CURBED
Criminal Investigation Depart
ment Doing Good Work.
DUBLIN. The criminal Investiga
tion department, established by the
Irish government, has largely re
placed the old detective department
of the Dublin metropolitan police.
It has its headquarters in Oriel
house, and Its task is the rounding
up of the ordinary criminals, bank
robbers and burglars who have
taken advantage of the prevailing
troubled times to prey on the citi
zens. The new force has the advan
tage over the old that Its members
have none of the traditional and
easily recognizable appearance of
the ordinary police detectives In
Dublin. They are mostly young
men, very like the average young
mian In dress and build, and their
operations are increasingly effect
ive. They recently made 56 arrests
In one week; have recovered much
property and have been congratu
lated on their efficiency by the re
corder of Dublin.

WOMAN TELLS SECRET
i OF POISED TACT
"Goodness, how I admire your
brother Jim's wife. She has such
poise and 1 never saw such a tactful
woman. She Is always at ease and
equal to any emergency that occurs."
"Tea, Alice is all that and more.
Bhe is a wonderful woman and our
whole family worship her. However,
I have seen her when she wasn't
perfectly poised, and most people
think that impossible. We were on
a motor trip and had no curtains. It
rainisd and we weren't at all prepared
for it. We all got soaked to the
skin and ruined 6ome good looking
clothes, too. Alice looked quite be
draggled and her nerves were on
edge. We all were cross and she
was no worse -than the rest of us,
However, ehe told me that her
morale,' as ehe calls it, goes all to
pieces if she knows her hair is
atringy and her clothes massy and
eotled."
"Well, I guess that Is the secret,
but Alice seems naturally very neat
and has such good taste in clothes."
"Yes, and she doesn't pay an aw
ful lot for them either. Brother says
she can make a dollar go a long
ways. She buys most of her lovely
clothes at Cherry's at 349 Morrison
Btreet, second floor. One can buy on
credit there and she pays so much a
month the year around and is al
ways well dressed." This popular
store is open every Saturday eve

WHEAT YIELD OF UMATILLA
COUNTY IS BEING INCREASED
Constant Experimentation Under Expert Guidance Developing Types
of Grain Most Suitable to Soil in Eastern Oregon.

PENDLETON. Or., Dec 23. (Spe
cial.) Wheat farmers of Uma
tilla county, who produce about
for
is
1 per cent of the wheat crop of the
world, in the highest producing
county in the state of Oregon, are
constantly at work to increase pro
duction and cut costs, knowing that
in large-scale farming the margin
of a few cents a bushel means profit
or loss. . .
Over a period of years certain
types of wheat have proved by gen
eral use to be superior In certain
Bections, and now the acreage has a
well-established rule for use of seed
wheat, and the number of varieties
now in use have been greatly dimin
ished, to the benefit of the farmers.
Besides higher ' yield and better
quality of grain, Umatilla county
farmers are seeking to cut the losses
from smut by work with smut-
resisting wheats, by the elimina
tion of mixtures which cut the price
on their crops and by the develop
ment of new seed through hand
picking of choice heads in the best
fields of the county.
Outstanding of the demonstration
work this year, conducted by the
county farm bureau, through County
Agent Bennion, is the introduction
of Hard Federation as a new seed
wheat. This grain proved in every
test to be the best variety of spring
wheat where there Is not sufficient
rainfall to raise the heavier craln.
High yield with 'better quality are
the advantages of this grain. The
tests were conducted on mora than
1000 acres.

GUY BATiSS post in the Richard
Walton Tully production of
"Omar thA TflHtmakflr" la now
in its second week at the Rlvoli
theater. Its success Is warranted.
Mr. Post gives a superb character
ization. He is an artist, and he has
played that role a long time.
Customarily an actor becomes
weary of playing a role within a
very short time after the play has
received its premiere. He is bored
by the repetition of the same lines
day after day, and often there is a
secret hope in his heart that the
play might become a failure, lust
for the sake of getting away from
the monotony of the part.
But there is one actor who has
played One part four yeans on the
stage and has never tired of it.
Now he has acted In it for the
motion pictures.
The star is Guy Bates Post. The
play is "Omar the Tentmaker.
During the "shooting" of the pic
ture In a Los Angeles studio a news
paper reporter cornered Post for an
interview.
"Mr. Post," he said, "what do you
think of Omar?"
"I love htm," was the quick re
sponse. "Of course, most of us do. But
that is the Omar of literature. I am
speaking of this Omar whom you
are playing the man you have
created the character."
"I love Mm," Post repeated. "I
approach him with reverence. His
wonderful depth of heart and
breadth of mind, his humanity and
understanding of the frailties and
aspirations of his fellow men. These
are the points I try to bring out.
- "Omar Is not the wine-bibber some
of us believe. The frequent refer
ence made to the "wine cup' in his
verses is a blind, assumed in order
to hurl more effectively the shafts
of his scorn for the immorality and
hypocrisy of his day."

49 growers were Inspected and
certified for seed this year, and it
estimated that 108,000 bushels of
certified seed were used. High pre
miums have 'been paid toy other sec
tlons for certified seed wheat grown
in this county.
So clean 1s the Hybrid No. 128,
now used in, this county, that Wttle
certification is necessary. The
county now has laTge acreages on
which certified Jenkins club Is
grown where two years ago there
was no clean Jenkins in the county.
The increased yield shown by com
parison between certified and un
certified Jenkins in one year has
been an average of three bushels
an acre on 15,000 acres. Red Chaff
has been certified for the first time
in this county, the clean grain of
high producing type toeing secured
by field selection from former crops
To speed up the experimental
work and give the farmers, the
proved 'benefits as soon as possible,
and to develop as soon as possible a
emut-resistant wheat which will
out down the annual $500,000 loss in
the county through smut large
tracts have been set aside in various
parts of the county to grow seed.
Tangible results from experimen
tation with wheat varieties In the
last three years are estimated by
county farm bureau leaders to show
savings and additional profits ol
more than Jl. 000,000.
