summers, who has spent a baker's doxen
of them in the Rosa City. He Is a son
of H. W. B. Smith, a traveling man, and

. STORY OF GREELEY'S POTATOES
Greeley, Colorado, where the potatoes
come from ' and where . they row to
such an extent that they have to be
moved, about, with the aid of hand
trucks, - is represented In Portland to
day by Mr. and Mrs., R. F. Graham and
Harry B. 6haw and wife, who are at
the Hotel Portland. -
' Oreeley ships hundreds . of carloads
of1 potatoes every year to every state
In the Union and abroad as well. One
of Europe's long suits Is to send to
Greeley for Its potatoes. Spuds from
Greeley also go to the orient, and Au
stralia and. In fact, almost everywhere.
Uvery one In Greeley raises potatoes
Just like every one In the Hood Hlver
district raises fruit - of some kind or
other. Potatoes Is all they talk about
in Greeley everything; depends upon
the potato crop.
If times are, hard in other parts of
the country It makes no difference to
Greeley people as Jong as the potato
yield is up to the standard.
Land is so valuable in the vicinity
of Greeley that not long ago the foot
hills in that part of Colorado -were util
ised to grow potatoes on. The scheme
worked successfully until the potatoes
began to reach their maturity. Much
of the crop on the hills was losf, how
ever, owing to the fact that the pota
toes grew to such enormous sizes that
they rolled out of the ground and on
down the hill and were dashed to pieces.

Another Case in Which the
Tonic Treatment Was Suc
cessful After Other Meth
ods Had Failed.
X very delicate stomach requires
easily digested food but nature never
intended that the food snouta do at
tested before it is eaten. The stomach
must - be strengthened to perform Its
own work and what it needs is not-food
already digested but a tonic The pro
cesses of digestion are controlled oy
the blood and nerves, and medical sci
ence has produced nO better digestive
tonic tnan lr. . w imams firm ruin.
This is shown by the statement of Mrs.
Amos Rogers, the wife of a prosperous
farmer of sycamore, ijetuaa. county, ui,

"I was a J-sufferer with atomacn

"The small boy who is outsnoken in

chief feature of the day will be the
two-hours': display of fireworks In the
evening beginning at :S0. For this

seclusion of your club they sit on the
doorsteps until you come jown. If it
thunders they cling to you. If it rains,
they throw their arms about you, even
though it perchance happens that you
have never seen thera before.' They're
rather breexy.
For instance, consider Muriel Mason,
the lovely daughter of one of Helena's
magnates. Muriel has a sister Violet
who s been - east to finishing school,
but Muriel never haa Result, Muriel
is free and untrammeled, sneaks her
own will, say whom she will marry,
when she will marry, and does marry,
the engineer. Violet walks like an ener
getic camel, poses, and falls to tha lot
of Bryce Forrester, who Isn't much of
anything but fashionable, - Clearly Mu
riel Is the one to engage your attention.
Time immemorial has decreed that It be
thus. - And Mr. Collier hasn't neglected
the i teachings of time immemorial In
any of the comedy. Muriel has a ranch,
which, strange to say, is tied up until
she becomes of age, or yes, you won't
have to be told marries. Dick has to
have the' ranch to raise vegetables for
his mine crew, so they won't strike.
Muriel confuses Dick with some one
else. Both fall in love.' They kiss each
other roundly two' doxen times, and the
curtain descends upon Mr. Collier.
And yet it's funny, and you laugh at
the old Colllerlsms la the good old way.
Mr. Collier himself is entertainingly
flippant He has injected rather less
vulgarity in this than In others of his
vehicles. His company is a strange mix
ture. Ellen Mortimer, who plays Muriel
Mason, makes you wonder if she isn't
somebody's relative else why is she
there? Jane Laurel as Violet, the sister,
is the most beautiful creature, positively
stunning when - you meet her face to
faco,.and dresses delightfully. Her eyes.
the arch of her brows, and her fore
head, are wonderful. When she stands
before the center of the . stage and
gazes over the audience you begin to
see visions of Maxine : Eliot turning
green. And whan she talks you fold
your hands In silent prayer that- aha
may cease. Mrs. Helena Colller-Gar-rtck,
sister of William, is so good that
you wonder at her being carried along
as a relative. Her bay fever perform
ance In the Is st act is most entertain
ing. Albert Perry is good as Maxwell,
the rotneowner, and Dick's partner and
John Bavllle- was his usually excellent
self in the part of Mr. Mason.
Bcenically and in costumes, it Is the
usual delightful Frohman production.
The country club act is the best, the
ham and egg breakfast feature being so
true to life as to cause many a dismal
twinge throughout the hearts of the au
dience. "Caught in the Rain" will be
at the Helllg the rest of the week, and
Mr. Collier has enough friends in Port
land to insure his ruling tne tneatre.
