J.-V j : ' The YMCA employment office sent out 123: people to work last week; but they have requests now for a hundred more, which, they cannot fill; -and the flood of requests is piling up. V r They want 100 bean pickers at the Irrigated tract at West Stan ton. They have raised 300 tons of etrlngless beans on 100 acres of irrigated land,' and they are delivering six to seven tons a day to tha dehydration plant in Salem; but -i this is not fast enough. The beans are likely to ripen too fast and make a loss, unless more help can be had. The pay is a cent a pound for picking. -u; H. E. Hoke, of , Aumsville, the man who operated the Canadian flax puller after i the ! expert showed him how for a few hours, has bought the puller. The deal was closed yesterday. Mr. Hoke will have at least 80 acres of flax of his own to pull next year, and that is nearly enough to fully jus tify the ownership - of the : ma chine. However, jMr. Hoke will have no trouble In getting enough flax to pull for his neighbors to keep the machine busy. He has the distinction of 1 being the first man in the United States to own and operate his own flax puller successfully.

At the Bligh today. , Since the earliest 'days of the whaling industry which flourished some 75 to 100 years ago, seamen engaged in this hazardous field of endeavor have risked their lives frequently and in many Instances have met death in pursuit of this greatest of sea monsters. The whaling Industry long has been ranked as the most perilous ad Venture . which these hardy men of the sea hare ever been called upon to undertake. Human life was lightly regarded in those try ing days; and many a whaleman has been sacrificed in the game where whales were sought. Vol umes could be - written of the many brave seamen who have met death in their pursuit of these mammals. In their instinctive fight for self preservation, upon being attacked and pierced , by the whaleman's deadly harpoon. whales have turned upon their at lackers not infrequently and there have been hundreds of instances where the small ; boats of the at tacking: party, and in a few cases the whaling ships themselves, have not only been overturned, but In many cases; literally smash ed to pieces from the Impact of the huge ocean monsters. In the pursuit of their vocation." motion picture actors are from time to time called upon to' mas ter arts or professions with which they are entirely unfamil iar. They must frequently exert themselves to the .utmost and apd utilize a versatility that - it was never dreamed they possess ed in order to comply with : the What the Press Thinks: "One of the most Interest ing pictures ever produced it combines pretty near ly the best in everything, acting, photography, direc tion and cast."

' ' ; But T it. has remained for Mr.J McKee to undertake and become proficient in an art that is far removed from ' anything which screen stars have hitherto been called npon to undertake. In the new .Elmer Clifton super-screen special "Down to the Sea . in Ships.", shortly to be released by the Wi, W.; Hodkinson corpora tion, the entire story is construct ed -around, the rapidly disappear ing whaling industry, with a view to perpetuating for all' time this hazardous pursuit of sea mons ters. Cast in the leading role. If becamoi necessary for Mr. Mc Kee not only thoroughly to fam iliarize himself with the myriad of details connected with the whaling industry, but he also be came an expert with the harpoon the weapon of destruction that is used in this pursuit. - Upon being attacked by the men from the "Charles W. Mor gan." the oldest whaling ship afloat, which was engaged by Mr. Clif ton for the ' whale pursuit in "Down to the Sea in Ships," the unusual attraction now at the Oregon ; theater, ' the whale began a desperate battle for his life. The . small ' boat containing Mr. McKee and five members of the Morgan's crew was drawn through the angry waters of. the Carribean sea for miles',- the boat's occu pants in constant danger of cap sizing or other mishap. . Two ; hours after r it had first been harpooned by McKee, the whale suddenly described a circle and made for -the small boat at ONLY terrific speed. There was not time to 'escape, and In an instant the ocean monster had charged the craft, hurling; the six occu pants into' the sea and. smashing the boat to kindling wood. Rescu ers finally reached them, but not until they had first picked up the harpoon line attached to , the whale. In their eagerness for the chase, the expert whalers in the second or rescuing boat had once more lived up to the tradition of wnaiers tnat a "sperm hull" was more valuable than a human life and that even though the men were drowned, "the whale would make a fine present for the wid ows." In explaining his mastering of the art of - harpooning, McKee states that he practiced for sev eral weeks to prepare himself for the impending whale hunt. He first hung a canvasbag over the side of the ship intowhich he day a rter day launched his harpoon. In order to adjust himself to the movement : of the water, he oper ated from the spare yard arm, which moved up an down fn uni son with the vessel, jle kept up this practice until he could hit a very small object with unerring accuracy, and then ; began throw ing his harpoon at sharks, dolph ins, blackfish and other species of ocean ; inhabitants. Blackfish were his favorite target, as they are very fast and it is only pos sible -to approach .within 20 feet of them in a small boat. But his weeks of practice were not in vain. 9-rw world s : heavy weii IN PERSON ,,AND, ...
