THE FRUIT MARKET IS OUTLOOK More Canned Pears Wanted Than Can Be Canned, and Whole List Active The market outlook for the canned fruits of the Salem dis trict, and of all Oregon, is good; it may fairly said to be booming. The dealers want all they can get -and more than they can get. The Oregon Growers' Coopera tive. association could at this early date clean, up on all but one or two lines; could sell .all they are likely to have to sell during the coming season. They are already turning down orders on canned Bartlett pears of the coming pack., 'They do not know just how far they can go; just how many cases of canned pears they will have to sell this fall. They are offered orders, however, far beyond the number they could at this time safely con tract to deliver. There Is going to be a demand for every kind of fruit our people grow; not excepting any. If any buyers have been hold ing off with the liope of beating the market down in any. line, it is high time that they woke up. There will not likely be any boom prices paid; but nothing In the way of either tree or bush fruits grown In Oregon is going for a eong this year.

Work Is Lauded Old Shakespeare was a wizard In writing plays that grip the soul, and that live deathless as the diamond or imperishable gold. In the three hundred years since bis time, they have built up a stage technique that is unbeliev able to one who is accustomed only to reading and not to seeing the stage play. Mr. Hampden has studied slavishly, furiously, to In terpret the soul of the play; he has sweated blood and tears in getting all the hidden meanings. He gives a flawlessly finished per formance that delights the eye. the ear, the mind. Mr. Hampden has given Salem a rare treat, and Salem should thank him for it.

For that matter, however, there are all too few modern Shakespeare who do any thing at all with their characters. Audience Won ' No finer tribute could be paid to any players than the tribute of absolute silence that the Salem audience maintained through all the important passages of the play. The whisperer and the gum-chewer and the squirmer and the foot-shuffler all alike were silent; the grave itself could hardly be more so. A number of times the, audience broke into the stormiest applause at the end of the scenes, and always the players responded graciously with curtain calls.
