IN SPOTLIGHT SADIE By LEWIS ALLEN BROWNE Directed by ( LAURENCE TRIMBLE powder ant Paint SiJk Stockings and Laces "It's A Ooldwyn Picture" ' STARTS TODAY ) YE LIBERTY ROTARY CLUB COMING HERE First Move Toward Organiza tion Made at Hotel Lunch eon Yesterday No, Leanuer. a Rotary club is not an automobile club, as the evening paper thinks. The word rotary pertains to things that go round, to be sure, and wbeels on automobiles go round. So a Rot ary club might be an automobile club. - Why not? So reasoned the local staff of the evening paper. Anyway Salem is to have a Rotary club and the first novement toward formation of the club was made at a luncheon at the Marion hotel yes terday attended by six Salem citizens fcnd two of the most active members of the Portland Rotary club, Nelson Pike and J. II. Joyce. Another meet ing of those initiating the movement in Salem will be held Friday and the plans further developed. It is esti mated that the members of the club in Salem will number about 50. The Rotary club is known the na tioj over. Each important city has its Rotary club. It is a chain of affiliated clubs devoted to commun ity improvement and service in any capacity. Membership ! is limited. only one representative of any line of business or any profession be ing chosen for membership. One of the six Salem men attending the njeeting yesterday was H. S. Gile who already is a Rotarian. belong ing to the organization in Portland. GOBS GET ABOARD PRANCING STEEDS Santa Barbara Has Fun When Guests From Fleet Try Landlubber Sports SANTA-BARBARA," Cal., Aug. 20- While Santa Barbara entertained the Pacific fleet today, the Pacific fleet quite as fully entertained Santo Barbara. More than that. It provid ed great and unusual enterainment. not only for residents' of this city but of inland districts of Santa Bar bara and Ventura counties. . Perhaps the most diverting of the entire entertainment program of the day and night was produced by the enllsed men themselves when they engaged In equestrian sports on the beach and this offorded their guests the proverbially extraordinary sight of sailors on horseback. Gobs Have Good Time Truly Jack on horse proved him self game, if not skillful and he laughed at himself as much as did anyone else. He brayely mounted the pony broughTt forth and entered the races and - other equestrian af fairs with the spirit to conquer or die that has made him famous on the seven seas. , In fact. Jack liked the sport so much that after it had officially end ed a number of "him" obtained sad dle horses and started out to see the country and to be seen by it.

Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Trover juckiiy escaped injury when their auto crashed into the plate glass show window of the Klander sto-e building at South Commercial and Miller streets. The lower floor of the store building is vacant. It seems that one froat and one rear w.heel on the right hand side of the car were following in the trench on the inside of the street car rail and in attempting to steer the auto over the rail it skidded slightly, this turned so suddenly to the right that It struck the building before Mrs. Trover, who was driving, could apply the brakes or shut off the motor. Both plate glass wiodows in the front of the building were broken and the front of the Sedan was badly damaged, it having a broken spring, crushed lights, bent axle and badly bent radiator and fenders. Just how Mr. and Mrs. Trover escaped Ij jnry seems a mystery. Mr. and Mrs. Trover are engaged in the photo graph business in Salem.

BRING YOUR BATTERY TROUBLES HERE OUR WORK MUST SATIS FY YOU OR WE DON'T WANT YOUR MONEY BATTERY SHOP 263 N. Commercial St PASSING OF OLD RANGE IMMINENT Sale of 2200 Head of Oregon Cattle May Bring Era of Irrigation UEXI) Or. Aug. 20 Whether the sale of 2,200 head or ber cattle by rive of the largest cattlemen in Lake county means the possible pass ing or the large stock raising in that John Uaya. William Kilridge. southern Oregoa a i action Nelson Bros., W. ii. Rubinett and James Small have comi leted a sale or cattle which means tbe 4i.p.sai or stock wo.th $20u. 000. The fast depletion or the range and the recent drying up of Silver Lake and the streams tributary is neld to be cause for alarm on the part of some of the stick men. The lake bed is now dry and there Is lit tle prospect that It will oe filled to its capacity agai.i. There has been a scarcity of hay this summer and th stockmen fear there will not be enourh to handle their beards during the winter feed ing period. New Era May Totne Some bdieve that the sale of this large number of beef cattle indi cates the early arrival of the period of saialler farms and Irrigation. The latter possioility seems well founded as there is a strong movement on foot to finance the big Silver Lake irrigation project which when com pleted would irrigate approximately 10,000 acres.

PHONE CHARGES ARE CUT DOYN Commission Order Affects - Three Hundred Lines Oat side of Pacific Service connection and moving charges of approximately 200 tele phone systems in Oregon, or all in the state that have been releaced from federal control with . the ex ception of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company and its consul uent companies, are reduced by an order of tbe public service commis sion issued yesterday and made ef fective September 1. The new charges, as fixed by the commission are maximum but not mandatory, in other words the com panies are not allowed to charge more than the figures fixed by the commission but may charge less. The effect of the change is to place the burden upon the user hav ing his service altered, and to re lieve the companies of the expense- incident, for example, to moving tel ephone sets to conform to moving tbe location of desks, or other changes that may be ordered by patrons Hence, it is possible that the order may have an indirect effect upon the general rates charged the public. Prior to the establishment of the notorious $5, $10 and $15 installa tion charges fixed . by Postmaster General Burleson no charge was made patrons for changes In service connection, and the burden was di rectly upon the company and ulti mately upon the public. These charges fixed by Mr. Burleson were later reduced, are now in effect and are tbe changes that are supplanted by the new charges announced by the commission yesterday. The investigation that led up to yesterday's order was on the com mission's own motion, and a hear ing was held in Portland on July 14 last. "Large numbers of subscribers are of more or less transient charac ter and do not retain long service in any one location." says an explan atory statement from the commis sion's orrice. "For this and other reasons a demand is produced for frequent disconnection, changes and re-establishment of service. Without some method of assessing the ex penses and los.es involved In these transactions against the Individual subscribers, in measure as each is responsible, they become a common burden to the detriment of the sub stantial permanent subscribers and to tbe unjust advantage of short term and less stable users or the service." The substance of the order is giv en below: For the complete establishment of individual or carty line service: Bur leson charge $2. SO. New charge (at In efcchangrs with 1000 or more company stations, $3.50: (b) in ex changes with less than 1000 company stations. $2.50.
