president of th club, said today:
I "No nlace Is a little elbow grease so
well expended as in cleaning up the
jback yards, painting the riower pots,
iand touching up the porches and build
ings. It brightens up the city and
makes a wonderful difference to vis
itors." He said Portland has the reputation
among the paint fraternity of being a
well painted town, and he wants the
reputation to be maintained this year,
'when many visitors are expected.
The' matter has been taken up with
the civic bureau of the Chamber of

Is Promise.
Instead of abandoning the electric
parade feature of the Rose Festival
this year, the board of directors of
the Rose Festival association last
night decided to stage the event with
more than usual splendor. This is
made possible through the demand of
the Jovian league that it be continue!.

Portland Railway, Light & Power com
pany, "was accordingly a;riolnted chair
man of the parade committee, and as
sociated with him. will be C. E. War
ner, president of the Jovian league.
This organization is composed of prac
tically every electrical engineer in the
city, and has in its membership prac
tical electricians of all stations.
; Some ideas the 'Jovlans have in
mind will be incorporated Into the
parade. These include unique fea
tures, the nature of which will be
sprung as a surprise upon the public
The financing of the parade will be
taken care of by the various civic or
ganizations, headed by the Jovians,
and several offers of assistance al
ready have been made, the first having
been by the National theatre for a
"benefit entertainment.

BRITISH TO RELY UPON
PATRIOTISM RATHER
THAN ON PROHIBITION
Premier Asquith Appeals to
Workmen for Greater Prod
uction of War Munitions.
London, April 21. (U. P.) Indica
tions that the government has decided
upon a campaign to arouse greater
patriotism among the workmen of the
country, rather than resort to drastic
liquor legislation are seen here t'oday,
following the speech of Premier
Asquith before the workers of New
castle, i
The premier refrained from any ref
erence to the question of drink, but
appealed for a greater production of
war munitions. He made no criticism
of the workmen but addressed a strong
patriotic appeal to the men who must
keep the fighting forces supplied in
the field.
Discussion as to barring alcoholic
drinks from the refreshment room of
the house of commons was not ex
pected to be renewed to"day when it
lagged to such an extent- yesterday
that the proposal was finally tem-r
porarily abandoned.
The possibility of conscription Is
now believed to have been entirely re
moved by the response to Lord Kitch
ener's call for his second army of a
million: men. Chancellor" Lloyd-George
told the house of commons that Kitch
ener was well pleased with the re
sponse to his appeal for volunteers
and that the government did not be
lieve conscription necessary to carry
the war to a successful conclusion.

was the prediction of Captain John
McMullen of the British steamer Spec
tator Which sailed for Liverpool with
a cargo of Pacific coast products.
SAVED FROM DEATH IN TAR
SHO
E MERCHANT IS
GIVING EVIDENCE OF
HIS FAITH I CITY
Store in Old Louvre Restaur
ant Building Main One of
Wright Sample House.
Los I Angeles, April 21. (U. P.)
Trapped In a bed of liquid tar near a
construction camp Into which he had
stumbled, Carlos Compos, 26, a laborer,
nas saved, from a horrible death early
today, when the engine crew of a
pausing train saw him. Compos had
sunk to his ears and only his face and
forearms were above the surface. He
was in a critical condition jvhen taken
to a hospital.
When G. L. Greenfield opens his new
store at Fourth and Alder Streets late
this week in the building formerly oc
cupied by the Louvre restaurant and
cafe, he expects to demonstrate that
business is still good if one has only
the nerve to find it out.
The new store will be the main one
of the three Wright's Sample Shoe
stores. He Is now installing 40,000
pairs of shoes of ; all grades. As soon
as they are arranged and properly
tagged, the formal opening will take
place. .
The old Louvre building' has been
completely remodeled for the new pur
pose at a cost of $10,000. New ceil
ings, rearrangement of partitions and
thorough overhauling have put the
place into what Mr. Greenfield thinks
is ideal shape for the selling of shoes.
Mr. Greenfield started in business
here seven years ago with scarcely any
thing but nerve as capital. 'That he
succeeded is shown by the fact- that
he will have three stores one at Sec
ond and Washington, one at 247 Mor
rison and the new one at Fourth and
Alder.
"I don't sell anything but shoes,"
he said today, "but I do know how to
do that. I consider the location one
of the best in town and it's a wonder
other people haven't grabbed the place
before I did. Borne people haven't vis
ion enough to take advantage of these
opportunities."

CENTRAL OREGON IS

IN WHEAT ACREAGE
Farmers Are Ready Jo r Huge
Returns; Bend Residents
Are Feeling Cheerful.
RAIN HAS PROVED BENEFIT
Bend People Believe Moore Syndicate
Will Srect Precipitating Plant on
Sumner and Albert Iakea.
Twenty per cent more wheat has'
been planted in the Central Oregon
country south of the Crooked river,
and 10 per cent more north of the
river than last year, according to W.
C Walker, assistant general freight
and passenger agent of the Oregon
Trunk, who ; returned today from a
trip to the "banana belt."
"Bend people," said Mr. Wilkes, "are
feeling cheerful over prospects of the
hew Shevlin; mill and the develop
ments at the soda lakes by Jason C.
Moore. The impression IsUn that city
that both these industries will mean
much to Bend. Ample rainfall and
warm weather now have put new con
fidence into the. farmers.
"As a matter of fact, the falling off
in railroad earnings on our Central
Oregon line is much smaller than on
any other line. That may sound odd,
but considering the comparatively
small volume originating there at any
time, the general decrease Is being
felt there least.
"Bend people believe that the Moore
syndicate 'will build Its precipitating
plant right at the shores of Summer
and Albert lakes. Transportation to
Bend is expected to be by motor truck
for the present. Talk of. the proposed
line has been heard but little of late." j

Cowboy Tries to
Bulldog an Auto
Pendleton, Or.. April ' 21.1 Buffalo
Vernon, one of the well known Roun.l
TTp cowboys, yesterday afternoon un
dertook to demonstrate what a rough
rider can do with an automobile, and
the result is that Dr. H. T. Barbour,
a Stanfield dentist, is in the hospital,
and Vernon Is sough by the officers.
Invited for a ride with the derfti'st,
Vernon induced the owner of the car
to let him drive. Going up the paved
F.ast Court street, Vernon opened wide
the throttle, and by twisting the steer
ing gear back and fourtji made the car
travel up the street in a jumpety,
zigzag course. Near the Catholic
church, he gave the car such a sharp
jerk that it turned a somersault, alight
ing in an upright position. Both oc
cupants were thrown from their seat
to the pavement. Vernon, with true
cowboy luck, escaped with no more
scratches and bruises than he usually
gets in bulldogging a$ steer, but the
"tenderfoot" dentist was knocked un
conscious. He was rushed to the hos
pital and physicians were called. His
Injuries are not believed to be serious.
While Krnest Knight, a young farmer,
was taking Dr. Barbour to the hospital,
Vernon caught a ride to the reserva
tion and disappeared before the offi
cers heard of the affair. He is said
to have been- driaklng. , j
