It is'a good time to talk about prunc3, now that the har vesting, of the largest crop of this fruit ever grown in the Salem district is fairly on , ' And, in fact, for this district, a good time to talk about ' prunes is any time of the year For prunes will surely permanently hold an important . place in our, great fruit industry; the most varied of any ''section of this country, or any other country. r Two things are transpiring to give greater promise of " the extension of the prune branch of our fruit industry f . The development of wider markets by the use of cartons, ''i'.and 'the introduction of new varieties to fill the demand for .' larger prunes. These subjects are treated rather 6xhaustive- lp in the Pep and Progress pages of The Statesman of this morning. The articles referred to will bear careful reading. '. The New Oregon -pome promises a uniformly larger prune of the Italian or Oregdn tart-sweet variety, the markets for which have been extended in .gon . brands, 'lne (Joates Date prune, or Coates 1418, prom , ises a larger variety of the French or Petite or sweet prune H-The anachronism of a big little (Petite). prune. These'new varieties have already been planted extensive Iy in the Salem district, and this new acreage to these new and larger prunes will no doubt keep on increasing. s i. It is plain to be seen that we are approaching a half bilr :; lion crop1 of primes 1 in Western' Oregon; and Clarke county, Washington-what The Statesman, fs pleased to call the, Sa lem district Perhaps we will, save 70,000,000 pounds this tyear and the new acreage is limited and to be limited only by the nursery, sjuppliea of trees . : ' . .t ' . -J v ; And better cultivation and the new varieties swiU help i 'wonderfully;-in making the tonnage greater frorrV'year to -iyearrv" -ytr . .; . ;So it Is a foresighted poUcy to put up great quantities : of our prunes in small packages, down to one and twofpounds , 1 - L J 11 : XI tl . mi . , . , w uie mnun, aiiu even smaiier- me smallest packages to be solcTat'a nickel. , This is a -form of introduction, and of advertising, that Will be effective ' - . ; And it will "have fts effect In future years, when still more ;' and more prunes wibe grown and will have to be marketed, v . prunes will also be advertised in the printed page' this year, in a more ambitious campaign than has beer heretofore i attempted.

Dr. Chamberlin does not Inrlte us in to a worn -oat and wasted world. He holds that 1 the solar system and the earth were born of the coming together of cold moleculejs of matter and are not the prod ucts of the cooling of white-hot gases. . The cold molecules are wanning as they spin. Instead of dying out we are expanding. La place told us that the atmosphere was becoming podrer and thin ner. In 10,000 years" even Ore gon would be pretty nearly run out of climate. But Prof. Cham ber lln Insists that the atmosphere is gteadUy becoming more vital and- invigorating. Instead of a waning world we have a waxin? one. It is impossible to see the end ahead, tfven when the geolo gists do their cauculations in teTm3'sbTmllll1,ona of year. It is claimed that the sun is shrink ing at (he rate of ten miles every century. Bnt that does not worry Dr. Ghamberlln.

"You always think it's too hot," retorted Ceoile. "That's because you haven't ibeen here long. Why, this is cool for India. "Well, I'll Jst die J.f it gets hot ter.' declared Henriette. "Let's stop talking and do something," put In Sylvia, an other of the girls who belonged to the bunch of English girls whose fathers were stationed in that city in India. They were havr ing a party at Colonel . Dunn's house. , "Statuary's fun,' suggested Ce ciie. - "We're too big to play that," protested Rose. "Oh, come on. You're not a young lady yet. I'll be Mt.

Soon the lawn In front of the Colonel's house was decorated with statues . of dancing nymphs and reclining maidens, until it looked like a corner In a museum. . After they were all posed. Ce cile and Sylvia studied them. Then they put their heads together and whispered. ; "Don't anybody move a step," called out Ceclle, "or you're out of the game. You're all so beauti ful we can hardly decide. Ydn'll have to wait a minute longer." They whispered softly together again. "I'm getting all cramped," wailed Henriette. - "This Is a po key old game." - "Don't you dare move,! ordered Ceclle, her voice peculiarly sharp.

He starred In : "Shame." -BLIGH Way Down East.' GKA1 . Coming Saturday '.Thei,i Queen of Sheba." An unusual plot presents Itself in "Dusk to Dawn." the feature drama which brings Florence VI dor to the Liberty theater -Sunday. Therein Marjorie Latham ' agrees to rescue a young man from the toils of a designing woman, if said young man's father win stay prosecution f her brother, ac cused of forgery. When the young man' forgot the "designing woman," Babette by name; he feJl headlong in love with Marjorie, who refused to marry him because of strangely realistic dreams in which she seemed to lead another life. To his mind it was a poor ex cur, and he informed his dad that he was "going to the devil." Straightway dad reminded Mar jorie of her broken promise. She realized then that her only chance was with Babette, so she posed as a woman of BabettA's type. Those were danr, nours in Mar jorle's life, but as dawn follows dusk, so d:ti happinens follow Marjorie's sufferings to reward her . for her sacrifices. A cast of well known players sives Miss Vidor leading support. Jack Mulhall, particularly remem bered for his acting 1n "Turn to the Right,' is leading man. Others are Peter Burke, Truman Van Dyke, James Neill, Nellie Ander son and Lydia Knott. The Liberty theater brings to a close tonight the engagement of John Gilbert in "The Yellow Stafh," which has had an ex tremely successful run here. This production has gained much fav orable comment not only here, but throughout the country. A notable triumvirate of play ers "has been chosen to interpret the three principal roles In James Oliver, Curwood's vivid story, "Man From Hell's Rarer." Which comes to the Liberty theater to morrow Irving Cummings, Eva Novak, and Wallace Beery are the players whose services are con stantly in wide demand, owing to their " adaptability to interpret; every imaginable part. They are" particularly adept at impersonat ing the characters in "Man From Hell's River." . As the mounted policeman, Mr. Cummings gives a performance marked for its depth of feeling, manliness and sincerity. Wallace Beery cannot be excelled by any living actor in the delineation of the renegade type made famous by such authors as Beach, Lon don, Service and Curwood. His is a portrayal which compels at tention throughout because of the effort to make the character dis tinctive. "Sweetheart" is the favorite nickname around the Hal Roach studio for Mrs. Anna Townsend, an adorable little lady who boasts of her 79 summers ( Mrs. Town send is a widow who lives In her own little spic-and-span house, quite independent of her grown np children Finding much spare time on lier hands, she applied for a job at a picture studio, and got it immediately. She worked for two years in pictures without letting her children know about it. One day there was a family party at the theater. "Oh, there's our Granny," one of the grand children cried. Sure enough, there she was! They descended upon her In a body to know the mean-; ing why. "Why not?" Independ ently asked Granny, as she rock ed cfner her knitting, Mrs. Townsend is a very im-; portant figure In "Grandma's Boy," Harold Lloyd's newest com edy his first In five reels! Tni wonder comedy is coming to the Liberty theater. . . . . ' J Marlon Davies next picture .will be "Little Old New York.", She Is working on it now. When a woman is fighting with her back against the wall, it ig well to remember . that Kipling wrote.. "The female of the species Is more deadlythan the male." Marjorie Latham had her back to the wall, engaged in a fight all the more dangerous because it was a secret from anyone except herself and the man. with whom she made a strange bargain. But, because the stakes were nigh the danger was worth the risk. She was fighting to save her brother from Imprisonment for forgery. If it became known her father's career would be mined; iief family's honor ' would be emirched. , She agreed to the de mands of the man who. held her GOSSIP and those dear to her. In his pow er. But the best laid plans often times develop into the most un expected results. Marjorie Latham's rtory will be told by Florence Vidor at the Liberty theater Sunday In "Dusk to Dawn, adapted from the amaz ing novel. "The Shuttle Soul." by Kathefine Hill.

It hasn't been so very long since Marie Prevost graduated from the ranks of bathing beauties into the dramatic f61d. She has been a Universal star only a few short months but already she has learned those things which bring success and popularity. The latest of her dramatic vehicles is "Kissed." Among the supporting players are J. Frank Glendon, Lloyd Whitlock, Harold Goodwin. Harold Miller, Marie Crisp, Ar thur, Hoy t, ' Lillian Langdpn anH Percy Challenger, directed, by King Baggot. One of the richest . gold mines in the United States' appears in Lester Cuneo's new picture. ' "The Ranger and the Law." The script calls for several scenes In a de serted mine. r Consequently the lo cation "bloodhound"' of the Cuneo Studio, went on a still hunt for a deserted mine. He found a mine, but it was not deserted. Quite the contrary, It was pounding away at full Mast. In fact it was at that moment producing about $10,000 worth of ore every twenty-four hours. Nothing daunted, the lo cation man made arrangements to have the mine "deserted." In or der to do this it was necessary to put a large deposit in a Los An geles bank, to act as a bond for the safe return of the mine. Of course it is rather difficult for one man to wrap a Gold Mine into a bundle and vanish into thin air, but the owner of the mine was taking no chances. You can see the spot where a great amount of the nation's wealth is born, in "The Ranger and the Law." Watch for it. Frank Currier, one of the grand old men of the screen, who has been acting before the camera for "While THE By Peter B.
