Breeding Neglected . on Ac-
: count of Poor Financial
Returns, Is Report
! CHICAGO,; July: 14. The ten
dency toward decreased i horse
breeding because of small financ
ial return promises a shortage In
the horse population of the coun
try unless measures are taken to
'rekindle interest in that business,
the National Institute of Progres
sive Farming has asserted 1n an
nouncing a survey , of the.) horse
. situation. It" quoted 'figures of
' 'the U. .Department of Agricul
ture (o fehW that there has been
a decrease of about 60 per rent
in the number of stallions, in
service in tbfc United States since
1915, a decrease of 913,600 hors-,
ei'on farms between Jan. 1. 1920
and Jan. 1.'1922, and a decrease
during 1922 of 203,000 horses,
j Government figures, as 'quoted
by the Institute, show that the
monetary loss for horses last year
was 29,180,00O and for mule
18,843,000; that horses under 1
year old had decreased gradually
tn value from. ; an average of
4?.95 in 1914 to $26.12 in 1923;
one and, under two years from
174.87 in 1914 to $40.98 in 1923,
and two years and over from
$119.77 in 1914 to $75 in 1923.
This depreciation in value, and
high costs of breedlng,according,
to the Institute, have been large
ly responsible for that fact that
many importers, breeders and
(bowmen are seeking other lines
of business,
( There were 19.76,000 ; horses
on farms and ranges in thte coun
try in 1920 with a per capita val
nof $96.51 and a total value of
$Jk907,646,00; the Institute point-;
ed out, quoting government fig
ures again, compared to 18, 853,
00 head In 1923 with a per cap
ita value of $69.75 and total val
ue of $1,314,954,000. The aggre
gate value of both horses and
mules in 1922 was $1;826.000.-
mules in 1922 was $.1,826,000.-;
000, compared to the 1916-20 av-j
erage of $2,758,000,000.-

8FKXDIXG THE MONEY
Some of the governments are
complaining of the high cost of
oiling the 'League of Nations ma
chinery.' The budget-this year is
something like $4,500,000. To
the American mind this seems a
rather trifling eum for sandpaper
ing the world; but there is a feel
ing in some of the capitals that
money is j being wasted." If ap
pears, that! more than one-third of
the expenditures go to the inter
national: labor .bureau, which fur
nishes diamond-studded jobs for
a number; oi laDor teaaers wno
are considered dangerous in their
own countries. The bureau is al
so planning -a labor, palace, to be
built on the shores of Lake Gen
eva at a coet. of several millions.
The governments, that are mem
bers of jthe League are expected.
to bu'ld and furnish this temple.
There Is a feeling that the League
needs a few more Scotchmen to
Inspire the practice of thrift. It
should really set an example In
this direction and thus encourage
governmental economies e v e r y-
where.

"To Have and to Hold"
The St. Louis Post Dispatch of
recent date has the following to
say about the big New York col
ored musical comedy which will
be the attraction at the Grand
theatre matinee and night Satur
day, July 2 let its first appear
ance in Salem: j
"With the inspiration of a
packed house the 'Shuffle Along
company just simply turned them
selves loose last night at the Am
erican theatre. They shuffled their
feet and swuDg their arms,; they
lifted their voices in syncopated
songs, solos and ensembles. -They
sang and they danced, and i then
they danced and they sang. Some
times they sang without dancing,
and sometimes they danced with
out singing, but whatever; they
did was done with all the ardor
of persons who Just loved to strut
their stuff. They strutted it.
"Talk about the einginest sing;
ers that ever sung a song, and
J the steppingest steppers that ever
I stepped a step, that collection of
Jazz hounds with 'Shuffle. Along
from the colored Valentino; with
the beautiful baritone voice, to
the last pair of feet in the chorus,
Just about elected themselves the
high Joys of all colored entertain
ers. They syncopated, they shim
mied, and all through the music
throbbed a rhythm'c beat that was
steady and persistent but joyfully
jolly at all times. At times it
seems as if 'Shuffle Along was
conceived in moments of serious
ness, at which moment it would
revolve Into a Bert Williams sense
of humor that was a delight' to
listen to, happily droll, quaint and
decidedly humorous."
Jungle spots common to India
are not numerous in Southern Cal

on earth where almost any sort
of scenery can be found, a long
search failed to uncover any first-
class . Hindoo jungles for use injtro Pictures Corporation.
The Titer's Claw, a Paramount !
picture starring Jack Holt,, which
comes to the Oregon theatre to
day. According to the f scenario, --a
swamp, with dense foliage 'and
ferocious wild animals, was neces
sary. At the edge of this swamp'
a native village of two dozen huts
was to be located. But Hindoo,
villages, swamps and animals such
as abound in India can't be found
in California. Only; one course
for His Majesty's jungles -the
swamp and the village had to be
erected, and the animals bought
from a circus or zoo. (

Lloyd Hughes, who Is featured
with Marguerite de la Motte in
Thomas H. Ince's latest screen pro-jl
duction. "Sears of Jealousy," . says
that' he knows Just how it feels to
be a bandit captured by a sheriff's
posse.
"If there's anything more excit
ing than being hunted down by a
tmb of shouting, yelling men try
ing to make a realistic scene for
a motion picture, . V don't' know;
what It is unless It's be'ng a real
bandit being hunted down by a
real sheriff's possee,"' says Mr.!
Hughes.
"During the 'hunV scenes In)

agine how a bandit- really does'
feel when he knows the cops are
after him. The more I thought
of it the , more excited I became
Ana oy tne time the mob was
ready to. drag me out from my
hiding place I was actually scared
stiff. I could feel the cold shiv
ers and creeps running up. and

"Scare of Jealousy" will be
shown at the Oregon theatre start
ing Tuesday.
"Your Friend and MIne,"a pho-j
toplay based on the stage play by
WHIard Mack, was seen yesterday
for the first time at the iberty
theatre, where it was accorded a4
enthusiastic reception. Mr. Mack's
play has gained in dramatic forc
in its transition from the spoken
to the silent drama, and it h,as
an absorbing story that Is carej
fully produced and well acted by
a capable cast. :
