is conservative. '
And these costumes were for
dancers only and to gain a spe
cial effect. Going into the cos
tumes of the principals is another
story. Marvelous sable cloaks
and ermine negligees, startling
jeweled Japanese costumes and a
succession of interesting Spanish
gowns place this newest De Mille
picture at an exceptional point in
feminine investiture.
Plaving the principal roles are
Dorothy Dalton. Mildred Harris.
Conrad Nagel. Theodore Kosioff.
John Davidson, Julia Faye. The
support is adequate.
Sebastian Merrill win create a
laughing furore with his con
glomeration ot laugh producing
effects, principally the icgg-lay-ing
rooster and his burlesque on
the famous illusion, "Cutting or
sawing a woman to pieces." Up
sides the a!ove there is an ex
tensive collection of fun-making
paraphernalia the nurrose of
which is to laugh. At the Blish
theater today and tomorrow.
Viola Dana, whose admirers on
tbe screen are legion, has the
stellar role in ihe Metro special
production. "Home Stuff." which
comes to th Liberty Theatre on
Wednesday for a run of two days.
Viola Dana has the stellar role
of Madge iloy. a leading lady of
a cheap barnstorming company,
who finds a haven in a iuiet. sim
ple farmstead, after being otitsted
from the company, and her place
taken by an inexperienced girl,
whose admirer is willing to back
the impoverished show. Then the
company of actors come to the
farm, bringing with them the
girl, a runaway from th-; very
home Madge has entered. The
working out of the plat Is truly
splendid.
How a sleepy little town, with
out ambition, smugly satisfied
with its own conservative tradi
tions, can be transformed into a
thriving, hust'ing and prosperous
small city is amusingly set forth
in "Get-Rich Quick Wallingford."
which will be shown at the Ore
gon theater, beginning Sunday
next.
The picture details the adven
tures of thosa master confidence
men, J. Rufus Wallingford and G.
Horace Daw who descend upon
Battlesburg, a Middle Westerr
town, to fleece its citizens b
means of hare-brained schemes.
They find the town ultra-conservative
but gradually the magnifi
cent suavity of the crooks wins
over the citizens and they "in
vest" generous'.y. Wallingford
and Daw, of course, have no in
tention of carrying out their so-
called manufacturing projects.
but their industry starts a real
live boom and Battlesburg makes
tremendous progress.
Unless they take advantage of

theatergoers will miss one of the
most entertaining motoin picture
nroductions of the year in "The
Lur of Jade," Pauline Fred
erick's most recent R-C starring
vehicle, which will be shown for
the last, times at the Grand Thea
tre. "The Lure of Jade" is no
table for several reasons, some
of which are that in Miss Fred
erick it presents on 2 of the great
est emotional actresses in the
world in one of her greatest
roles; that it was directed by
Colin Campbell and stands forth
a striking example of this noted

10 PER CENT OF
WHEAT ON
Federal Statistician of Port
land Shows Condition of
Cereals in State
Farmers have on hand in Ore
gon, only about 10 per cent of the
1921 crop of wheat, according to
tbe March report of F. L. Kent,
agricultural statistician, of Port
land. One year ago they had 12
per cent of their crop and two
years ago 13 per cent, showing
that this season farmers have
jwm j closer on their wheat than
usual.
Of oats, the farmers in Oregon
hare on hand 30 per cent of their
Hei crop, according to Mr. Kent.
This means that farmers now
have about 2.611.000 bushels of
oats on hand. But this is less
than a year ago when 44 per cent
of the former year's crop was on
hand. But two years ago. up to
the first of March, oats were sold
up to a remaining stock of only
26 per cent.
Of barley, farmers now have on
hand of last year's crop, 22 per
cent. One year ago 31 p er cent
of the crop was on hand and two
years ago. only 13 per cent on
hand March 1.
Reportiyindicate that oj March
1 of this year only 10 per cent of
the 1921 Oregon corn crop was on
band. Corn is not as yet a great
commercial crop for the state, ac
cording to Mr. Kent. More or less
corn is annually brought into the
state and there Is only a small
amount of corn shipped out of the
state.
For the United States corn is
by far the largest cereal crop
grown, Mr. Kent says. It is es
tiniMtd that on March 1, farmers
throughout the country held 42
per cent or the 1921 crop. This
is nothing unusual, as a year ago
the farmers had on hand 49 per
cent of the crop and two years ago
37 per cent.
The 1921 crop of corn was of
high grade. Based on a ten-year
record, 79 per cent of the nation's
corn crop has been of merchtable
quality, while last year, 87 1-2
per cent was merchantable.
Just Before the Ides
of March is Club Film
, Just beforo the Ides of March
the Latin club of Salem high
school will hold its annual open
bouse.
' The club has boen particularly
fortunate this year in obtaining
the famous Lat n classic "film,
"The Last Days of Pompeii" from
the University of" Oregon. The
story follows closely the novel or
the same name by Rulwer Lytton.
