Here are' five staple products of the land that have 90 declined . In priee that producers get only I 'est of production for them, and ou some, ilea; than cost. These ligurs are from the department 'ot asricultareffor last year, show iaj; the deflation from 1919: logs have declined 44 per cent, beef cattle 33j, hay 31, eggs, 29, wheat 21, ankl yet for the same jpericd wholesale prices of all eomj modItifcs,a'dvncedt38 per cent. The le&ult : ot this condition is two standards of values, two price levels.! Undep it the farmer's dol ,lar lsj deflated to 53 cents, vas everything ele he has to purchase ' has ' advanced 38 per cent, while 'the product he has to sell to ob tain the dollar has been set back on an average of 32 per cent.' There can-1 be permanent pros- - perous conditions under this dou ble system.?! ,.It" 1 "not baaed; on permanency High wholesale commodity j values are fargely forced by p combination s might, while low prices for land products are forced onto the farmer by the defenseless condition of agriculture.- Demand and supply - have little to, do with either the . high or low prices. " i t f ' 8c loos as the present system Of fixing prices" prevails, the far mer simply must get in the game and poll his industry up to the ;level of pother business he must -'make his dollar worth as much ''lis the other dollar -for the other Industries are not going to volun tarily lower their standards to the present agricultural level. ' Group action, compact organiza '"t Ion, ia the' means, rarmets must run their Industry just as the manufacturing concerns operate theiraj They must pool their pro ducts; do their own selling and distributing, control their produc tion, fix their own selling prices. The Cotton growers are doing this; the tobacco growers have pulled their Industry out of the mud into a profitable and prosperout basis : by point action; the fruit indus try) of California has changed 'disaster to prosperous condition 1 fcy producers standing shoulder to shoulder.'' -- Governor Pierce, In his recent speech in Portland, stated that of farm products which the consum er paid S, the grower received "bat SI, and that there cduld not be generally prosperous conditions wider such an unjust and unbal anced system. . J Cooperation by producers, - re taller and consumers can reduce this excessive middle-profit and middle expense. It must be done fit agricultural states are to pros I per. A mere direct system ot dia- tribution and lees: middle inter ests must be established. Prod . ft A A. . vu uiusfc ue orougni 10 me vors fling class consumers at prices they ; will, pay, la order that there may ..be normal demand, yet the grow ter must receive a living profit for v his work and Investment to have - normal production. .There is room enough In the spread" between the dollar the grower gets and the three dollars the family pays, to bring about both of these conditions, but it .will take efficient organization. It is hard to understand that both , consumers .and. producers -will permit middle Interests to ' add twice the first eost of products to .tne ultimate consumer. ' RECOVERS FROM.

GRAND s) "TemptaUon." 1 BHh Four Acts Vaudeville i Hoot Gibson in j'Single Handed" It is not often that an actor Is privileged to originate an entirely distinct type of role which is es sentially his own, but that Is what Hoot Gibson has done. He has created a type of country town "boob" that is widely different from the usual bucolic type of boob, and into which he injects an inimitable humor. . ' Gibson is seen in his newest boob role In "Single-Handod,, which comes to the Bligh theatre today. ( "Single-Handed" was written for the star's use by Ed ward Sedgwick, who also directed the production George C. Hull prepared the scenario. The first several Universal, fea tures presenting Gibson in "this type of role were probably In the nature of an experiment, but their success have justified the wildest expectations that mayv encourage any venture in the motion picture field. Gibson is now definitely established as a star in an entirely new kind of r61e with an unlim ited "field before him. j JEllnor Field, is leading woman and o'ther players'ln the story'ln clude Tom McGuire, Dick ' Ia Reno. William Steele, Philip Slee man and others. ' Comedy that ""gets the laughs" is an elusive jade. Why do audiences laugh at cer tain scenes which motion picture directors did not consider so funny when they made them and, on the other hand,, why do slap stick comedy directors labor for days on .a "gag" only to fhave audiences "go stone cold" vhen they were expected to "laugnheir heads off"? . The comedy makers have offered a big prize for any one who can discover an Infallible touchstone. ; J. : 1 ' In making "A Man of A'ction? at the Thomas H Ince studios a number of prominent actors who had never appeared In any but the most dignified roles were sud denly called upon to play comedy parts. 1 ' j ' Among them was Arthur Stew art Hull, well known character actor and delineator of rather "heavy" I parts. Hull was cast as the polished business trickster in "A Man. of Action' When he learned, however, . that he was to be shot through trap doors from the second story of a mansion he looked doubtful about the matter. "I've never Hone anything like that bef pre," objected the digni7 fled character actor." V'Does the script actually call 'for me to do that stunt??, ? - ' ' - - - " - - - " - " r iSV , . I " t- a r w mm m v m w tm - . -v r r.. m m m mm . . - - SAlUliDAY MU4N1HG, - "It sure doe," replied Director Home. ' V ' ' ' "Moving pictures . certainly are changing - every day," mourned Hull. "Nowadays it's the best dressed and most 'proper' actors who are called upon to slide down collapsible stairs and to fall through trap ' doors. . But. now that it has been called to my at tention, I'm of the opinion that when Mr: Dough takes a "fall In real life it's always much funnier than when poor Mr. Dubb does it. And the same thing on eh t to hold good in the movies. Get the trap door ready and put a soft louu,,, on the spot where I'm to shoot through from the second story At the Liberty theatre three days starting tomorrow. - After five, men, sent out from a Hudson Bay trading post with lu loads, have failed to return. Shad Galloway, the flinty factor, offers five hundred (dollars to the man making the trip; and Gabrielle Dupre, the young trapper," accepts, knowing death stalks him. From- this exciting situation starts the 'absorbing action ot "Where the North Begins." a pic tureplay -of the far north, set id the desolate wastes of snow where men r obey their impulses, unde terred by laws of right and wrong. This picture comes to the Oregon theatre for four days beginning tonight. . f Galloway is a brawny brute o a man brooking no . Interference; he I has set his desires on Fellc McTavIsb, who lives In, the post. Finding the girl loves arid is loved by Gabrielle, he plots to get? the latter out of the-way.

This production comes to the Grand theatre today for two days. r " .; ." ' " " ' ! The heroine of the story is seen being literally drowned 1 by a downpour of gold pieces.- The natural query in the mind of the observer is, where did the director get all that money? The answer is easy. Money in such quantities is nowhere to be found save pos sibly at the treasury in Washing? ton. j Human ingenuity overcame this obstacle. , With the reading of the script of j 'TemptatIon," an order was placed with a stamping mill for several tons of metal disks cor responding In size to $20 gold pieces. It was discovered later that j the . disks lacked the shiny qualities of gold pieces, where upon they were sent to an electro plating plant and ' there given a nickel plate coating.
