JLU1XJU PLAY TONIGHT High School Students Primed to Give People of Salem Fine Entertainment "The Man of the Hour." the four act play to be given by the high school senior class tonight. Is one of unusual merit. The plot of the play is of political nature and many tense and Inter sting situations are developed. Miss Madge Bailey as leading lady and John Lurker playing opposite her create many romantic scenes, which are well developed for a high school play. John Luckcr. has al ready won his, spuis by winning a recent oratorical -contest and Miss Bailey's winsome and intelligent in terpretation ot . her part is very clever. Many humorous situations occur to lighten thetension and as these appear at the most unexpected moments the audience is relieved by a hearty burst of laughter. Miss Lillian Ouffln. who is direct the play, has been responsible for a state championship debating team this season and no need be at all concerned about the play being pro duced in the most finished manner. The high school auditorium will ac commodate a large crowd. The cur tains will rise at 8 o'clock.

W. Knowles of the lower court for Union county is affirmed. Chief Justice McBride wrote the opinion. The theory of the state was that the assault resulted from a ton war combined with personal grudge against Eng Chong, the prosecuting witness, because he did not refund hospital fees which had been paid for him after another assault about a year previous. The defendants were indicted for assault with intent to kill. Febru ary 16. 1917. were convicted and on July 5 .were sentenced to terms in the penitentiary, but appealed. Eng Chong, the prosecuting witness, is a Chinese gardener who ban lived In La Grande for a number of years. On the night of the assault he was a Chinese establisment known us the Grandy room in ghouse, when he! claims to have seen Ching Ben point ing a pistol at him. Eng Chong ran and Chong Ben fired three, shots at him. Evidence ' submitted ap;eared to show that Chong Ben had been hear dto say In the presence of the other two defendants and members of the Hop Sins ton that he would I shoot Eng Chong if he did not re- implicated the other defendants. The Farmer's Share Eive stock is marketed from farmer to consumer at a lower cost than almost any other farm product The United States Department of Agriculture reported in 1916 that the farmer gets for his cattle "approximately two-thirds to three-fourths" of the final retail price , paid by the consumer for the resulting beef. . Under normal conditions, the farmer's share of retail prices of various farm products is approx imately as follows: ' Butter CATTLE Egg Potatoes Poultry Fruits 71 per cent 66 to 75 per cent 65 per cent 55 per cent 45 per cent 35 per cent The difference between farmer's price -and retail price represents the necessary expenses of packing, freight and wholesale and retail distribution. Swift & Company not only performs the manufac- turing operations of preparing cattle for market in its well-equipped packing plants, but it pays the freight on meat to all parts of the United States, operates 500 branch distributing houses, and in most cases even delivers to the retail butcher. All this is done at an expense of less than 2 cents per pound, and at a profit of only about lA of a cent per pound of beet Large volume of business and expert manage ment, make possible this indispensable service to the live-stock raiser and to the consumer, and make possible the large proportion of retail prices received by farmers.

MERGE FOUR SERVICES (Continued from page 1) Because of the desire of Oregon guard units to be excluded for th Mate militia classification and to be dlrectlr under control of the state executive department. Governor Withycombe has Instructed Acting Adjutant Geneial Williams and Ma jor Deich. commander of the state police, to investigate into the feast bility of acceding to the guard's wishes. Governor Withycombe is in clined to tbe view that the guard members have good grounds for thlr attitude but is anxious to have a re port made after a careful study of the situation. The reason given by guard leaders for their attitude is that the mem bers are business and professional men, many of them with families, and averaging older In years than men In other military brancses. and consequently that they wish their scope of duty to be confined as far as possible to their home communi ties, i Governor Withycombe declares that no serious dissatisfaction Is bein manifested relative to Williams and that no influences are being employ ed to have him deprived of his position.
