BIG ACREAGE BEANS WANTED King's Products Company Wants 300 Acres in v Valley -This Spring FIELD AGENT ARRIVES George H. Gill Points Out Some Defects in Meth ods Employed Here "Wo hope to contract for 300 acres of string beans here in the valley, this spring." said George H. Gill, field agent for the King's Products company Thursday. Mr. Gill Is down from his home at The Dalles, to, look over the val ley field for the season's pros pects. He is field agent for both the Salem and. The Dalles plants. "We are not seeking to con- THEODORA COMING! t ! v.' : I-.

The turnips In the valley are too prone to be infested Dy insects, and the spinach sets Out to break the seed record fore it starts in to leaf out and of course it then never does leaf sausiacioriiy. But some of the other vegetables grow better here tnan in me Dalles, or anywhere' else. The string beans do wll. j as a usual ming. Three hundred acres might produce up to 800' tons, or more and we'll take ev-j ery pound that the farmers will'5 grow for us. The squash grown here is above reproach. We want ' 500 tons or more of that product, j It pets across in the big world ' market in fine style. We will han-! ale some local celery also and carrots; they do finely here. And of course we will use great quan-i titles of potatoes. ! "It would he a favor to ranv Willamette valley farmer, to call attention to the heed of better care of his: fruit trees and vines. This ought to be a natural home of the apple, but last year we got only 90 tons of suitable apples from this valley. The rest , we had to ship in. Most of the local apples are so infested, that we can't handle them on a quality basis. They won't get any better, but will steadily grow worse, with the present inattention. ! "Spraying with life and sulphur or a6-6-100 Bordeaux mixture, will kill the scale and moss that are the worst foes of the apples In this country- This spray ought to be applied in the fall or early winter while the trees are dor mant, but it would be-wonderfully helpful to use it now before the sap starts. Either will pretty well clean up the moss and scale that affect almost every apple grown in the valley. It isn't enough to use the arsenate of lead lor the spray at blossoming time, i That affects only the codling moth that attacks the fruit and does not cure the trees at alL There Is no sal vation for the apples of the val- KILLS HUSBAND BECAUSE HE 15 "BOOTLEGGER i j ... ... -l - - r W- l"- (. l! p' b AS ? i it tVt i 1 H !i & SENATE STAGES NEW Q RY FIGHT Democrats Oppose Measure to Create Nineteen Fed eral Judgeships LAWS NOT ENFORCED Broussard of Louisiana Afraid Jurists Would Not Play Politics LADD & BUSH, BANKERS EaUbliaked 1868 ; -:: . -1 General Banldr Bagineas Office Honrs from 10 a. m, to S p, m. Mrs. Julia Johnston of Los Angeles, CaL, is on trial In that city, charged with murdering her husband, claiming that he was a "boot legger." Mrs. Johnston says that she shot her husband, fearing the moral effect it might hare on their young daughter. She says that Johnston had a still in the cellar of their home ani that she pleaded with him to quit his unlawful practice. Mrs. Johnston is seen in the picture, with herrnother, Mrs. Ellen Richardson fright). ley until this tree-saving spray is used. "Good pruning and apraylng would save' many of the fairly young apple orchards, from 10 to 20 years of age. The older or chards, some of them SO or 40 years old, are rarely worth trying to save after the big freeze of two years ago, and the subsequent neglect. Hut there is a splendid future for the careful apple grow er in the Willamette valley. "Some .peaches have been put in to replace those that froze out two years ago. The peach will normally stand a temperature of 15 degrees below zero, and most of our other tree fruits will stand it yet colder. Any of them would be safe, as a general thing. "Up to the present time, there Is a splendid prospect for a fruit crop of practically every kind of tree and cane fruits in Oregon. The- fruit shoots are looking as fine as one could ask. Of cource there is a variety of evils that could com? excessive rain, frost, insects where the trees are not properly sprayed. But just now the fruitman has everything look ing prosperous. "Over in the Hood River coun try, growers have been experi menting with Bordeaux and lime- and-sulphur spray for anthrac nose, that means salvation for many can fruits. Gooseberries, currants, and most of the like berries, can be benefitted by this treatment. The spray should be only about onehalf as strong as for apples or Tee fruits, or a 3-3-100 proportion. The Bordeaux mixture, as every fruit man should know, is mad with lime and blue vitriol in equal proportions. The strong spray for apples and tree iruits is six pounds of each chemi cal to 100 gallons of water, and the weaker spray for berries in only one-half as strong."

A new fight Involving enforcement of prohibition opened today in the senate during consid?ration of a bill to authorize 19 additional federal district judges. Democratic senators opened fire on the bill immediately, some opposing more judges, others cri ticising the assignments proposed for the extra judges and others opposing a provision, which, it is said, might place "dry" Judges in wet" states, or vice versa. Broussard Leads Fight Th prohibition enforcement question was brought up by Sen ator Broussard, Democrat, Louis iana, one of the leading oppon ents of the Volstead law. He said the bill's provision authorizing the chef justce of the supreme court to assign district judges to work in other than their own states might result in trials by judges who were "not in accord with the ideas of the commun ity." Senator Caraway. Democrat, Arkansas, said he had been ap proached by a man urging ,sup' port of the bill and told that "the only excuse" for the assignment provision was to meet a situation caused by refusal of certain Judg es to enforce the law. Sectional View Deplored Senator Cummins. Republican, Iowa, in charge of the measure, said that never during its consid eration by the committee had he heard any suggestion that some organization was behind the bill for the purpose cited by Senator Caraway, adding that he deplored "any narrow or sectional Tiew' in dealing with the bill, and lack of confidence in the chief justice Fie could not assume the assign ment of power would be abased Cummins Sees Need "If I believed that. I would want to abolish all courts," said Senator Cummins. The extra judges proposed, Sen a tor Cummins said, were needed urgently to correct present "shameful" administration of justice and the congested condi tion of federal court dockets. The bill went ovpr for further consideration. I am always tempted to wonder how she disciplines Samivel when he becomes too exasperating," he said as he turned oU his engine and helped mc out of the car. "Probably the sends him to bed without any suppc," 1 returned in the same spirit. "From his general appearance I imag.ne that would be the worst punishment she could give him." As if to vtrify our theories concerning the subjugation ot Mr. Ticer, his wife's voice reach ed our ears from inside the house. "Sa-am '. Kerr, you Sam! Hev you got that wood split yet?" There was no answer, and the" call was repeated, the vo-ce cnnnitfn- n i rsr a n 4 nrr until I S i its owner appeared upon the front porch, whf-n the call, "Sa-am." was cut short in the middte, as Mrs. Ticer caught sight of us. "Well! Well! Well! ' she boom ed, coming majestically down the steps, and 1 suspected that the ejaculations were meant to cam ouflage tho embarrassment she felt at having her conjugal disci pline discovered. "If it ain't the doctor and Mis' Graham. Come right in. You'll have to excuse the looks of things. Jerry hain't able to help me none account of his arm, an Ticer, tho lord knows where he is, sneaked oft fishing I'll bet a cooky. When uiu juu come. sue wu uaaiu6 ,k rfi-w.- me cordially, by the hands as she v addressed the query to me. "This morning." I replied. "Then you ought to have some thing to eat. I'll put on some thing right away." "Nothing but a cup of tea and a cracker or cne of your cookies. Mrs. Ticer," Dr. Pettit inter posed authoritatively. "We can only stay a few minutes, and I Re lieve Mrs. Graham wishes to use most of that time talking to you. And she will have luncheon short ly. Where is Jerry?" steadily, looking after the con trading for all the raw materials for the two great dehydration plants at Salem and The Dalles. GreaXest Foes Every household should have its lifeguards. The need of them is especially great when diseases, the greatest foes of life, find allies in the very elements, as colds, influenza, catarrh, the grip and pneumonia do in this stormy month. The best way to guard against these diseases is to strengthen the system with Hood's Sarsa parilla one of the greatest of all life-guards. It removes the condi tions in which these diseases make their most successful attack gives vigor and tone to the vital organs and functions, and im parts a genial warmth to the blood. Remember the weaker the sps tem the greater the exposure to disease. Hood's Sarsaparilla makes the system strong. If the liver is torpid or the bowels are sluggish, causing bil iousness or constipation, Hood's Pills will be found of great ser vice. They are especially made to be taken with Hood's Sarsapa rilla.

Replete with comedy parts and amusing situations the yonng ac tors took advantage of the oppor tunity for individual starring, yet without breaking up the unity of the play. The parts were well cast and although there was occa sionally noticable earmarks of in experienced performers the play was given with a smoothness and naturalness' which spoke well ox as Old Clem.

Dr. Pettit sent his car along the turnpike at a speed that whip ped my cheeks refreshingly with the stimulating autumn air and forebore to utter anything save platitudes concerning the weath er and the scenery until he reach ed Ticer's. "You are acquainted with our Amazonian friend, Mrs. Ticer?" he asked, smiling whimsically, as we turned in at the. sagging wire gate leading to th ramfback'e dwelling. I "Yes. also with her redoubtable ! husband." I laughed, looking In Another Car. "In the next room," Mrs. Ticer replied meekly evidently she stood in much awe of the "doc" and she started to lad the way-to her afflicted son, but Dr. Pettit put out an authoritative hand. "I can find Jerry by myself. he said. "Give Mrs. Graham your whole time." He disappeared in the other room as he spoke and closed the door behind him. Mrs. Ticer drew a long, troubled breath, as she looked at me. "The doc certainly has a way with him," she said, bustling around and drawing up a chair for me. "Now, I'll put the tea to draw, and then you can talk to me," The Innate delicacy of the rough, untutored woman forbade any inquiry as to my business with her, although I knew she must be consumed with curiosity as to the reason for my sudden visit. Therefore as soon as she had come back into tho room 1 struck directly into the subject that had brought me so far. "There are reasons why friends of mine wish to know certain things about that man Jake Wll sey," I said, "so I have come to ask you to answer certain ques tions if you will." "Sure, anything I can," she said heartily, and the next half-hour was taken up with my writing down the answers to the questions I h.-d memorized for Lillian. 1 mpant to memorize the answers also, but interrupted by Mrs. Ti cer's hospitable tea and cakes as I constantly was, it seemed to me safer to jot them down first. I had just finished when Dr. Pettit came out from the other room and hurried. me away rath er unceremoniously with the an nouncement that he wished to get to the Southampton hospital with in the next hour. I am always flurried when I am hurried, and the annoying result was that we had gone, perhaps half a mile when I made the discovery that I had left my purse at the Ticer's. Dr. Pettit made no comment, but turned his car quickly around and we sped back in record time. As we turned into the yard we almost collided with another rjun about, also headed toward the house, and with a quick thrill of dismay I recognized Harry Under wood in the driver's seat of the other car. (To be continued) Real Building Boom Under Way at Dallas DALLAS. Ore., March 10. 'Special to The Statesman) During the past few days the building boom in Dallas has been more pronounced and four more new houses will be added to the already large list of new homes to be built this year. Dr. C. L. Foster has disposed of his home on Ash street in the western part of Dallas to Rea Craven and has purchased a lot on West Washington street where he will build a modern residence this summer. Joe Weigant has purchased a lot adjoining the Richmond prop erty on West Court street and is already laying the foundations for a new and up-to-date residence. W. L. Soehren has begun the. erection of a new house on his lots on Leven street. Mr. Soehren is not building the house for him self but intends to rent It. Ben Phillips is the latest Dallas citizen to get the building fever and having disposed of his resi dence property in the east part of the city has begun the erection of a new home on South Main street. Ruth Kuhn. who carried the lead, the part of Eleanor, did splendid character work and was ably supported, especially by Helene Gregg, Marie Arnold, Lois Taylor and Helen Fry who took the parts of four rich girls who visit the estate of "Breezy Point." Bertha and Rita Reming ton did some fine work in inter pretation of the part ot the Hard scratch twins which were humor ous parts and difficult. Tho entire cast was: Ruth Kuhn as Eleanor Pearl, Dorothy Brock as Aunt Debby, Florence Dell as Ashrael Grant, Bertha and Rita Remington as the- Hard- scratch twins.
