brings with him a,asl. of , twenty-
five players, and. lighting effects
amounting to a value of $2. ".00.
Realizing the unusual worth of
these plays, the Salem Business
and Professional, women took the
responsibility of bringing them to
the. people of the city a respon
sibility that demanded the writ
ing of a $2000 contract, abore the
additional expenses of publicity.
and so forth.
These unique productions 'are
receiving much applause on the
coast and in the cities where they;
haye thus far appeared, their
freshness and charm of subject
matter, their beauty of presenta
tion and stage effects have won
the enthusiastic cheer of even the
most blase of theatergoers.
Appearing In Portland the last;
of January, the plays were so well
liked that a return engagement
was asked. In speaking ot one of
the. plays, a prominent Portland
person says: "If the churches
knew, what this performance
means they would crowd the Aud-s
i tori inn to the roof."
In the "Gods of the Mountain;"
which will be presented Thursday
evening, the people of the city will
have the opportunity of . seeing
what Is acclaimed by . the., metro-1
politan critics to, be "the finest
play of Us kind, in the English
language." This, masterpiece of
the. Irish playwright. Lord Dun
Bany, is said to be a work of sin
gular dramatic simplicity and
force, a work inf used with the ma
gic of poetic speech, irony; humor,
carrying with it a depth Of appeal
limited only by the" intellectual ca
pacity of the spectator;'- .

There is something of a flurry
in the hop situation in Salem. An
agent of the Gulf Hop company
has paid 31 cents for a ba4ch of
local hops and a rumor is being
bandied about that 32 cents has
been offered, and there ore
dreams among the growers of
cents, as in former days.
Something over 3000 bales of
the 1923 crop are yet in the hands
of the growers. There has been a
clean-up of a thousand bales of
the 1922 hops that the Wigan
Richardson company had in stor
age at Independence. They were
sold by Durbln & Cornoyer to T,
A. Livesley and James R. Linn at
19 and 20 cents.
Retailers throughout the north
west have orders to buy; it' is re
ported, but they are having a hard
time finding anything to buy Con
tracts have been made for 1924
In Washington at 24 cents, it is
said, and over 3000 bales in Cali
fornia at that figure, but no con
tracts have yet been made in Ore
gon.
' All the deals reported made
here, it is understood, are for hops
to be used in this country. There
is a scarcity of continental hops
however, and some of the German
hops shipped to New York have
been shipped back to Germany.

Military Instruction Camps
to Open June 19 at Two
Places
The annual citiajens military
training camps fori pregon and
Washington conducted. by the war
department under the provisions
of the national defense act of 1920
will be held this summer at Camp
Lewis, Wash., and Fort Worden,
Wash., from June 9 to July 18.
Training will be given at Camp
Lewis to G00 young men in the in
fantry, field artillery, cavalry, en
gineer and signal corps branches;
and at Fort Worden to 35 young
men in coast artillery only.
The purpose of these camps is
to bring together young men of
high type from all sections of the
country and thereby develop close
national and social unity; to teach
the privileges, duties and respon
sibilities ot American citizenship;
to inculcate self-dicipline and
obedience; and to develop the phy
sical standards of American youth
through participation in military
exercises,' athletic games and sport
exercises, athletic games, and
sports conducted by expert direc
tors. Officers in charge of the
camps are selected for tneir ex
perience, sympathy and character.
Medical officers and chaplains will
be in regular attendance at the
camps to safeguard the students
at all times.
The scheme ot instruction is di
vided in four courses; namely,
basic red, advanced, d, white and
blue. The basic red course is es
pecially devised for citizens who
have had no military .training.
Both this and ths advanced red
course are designed to demonstrate
to the public and to the candidates
attending the benefits that raayj
be obtained from military train
ing and carefully supervised physi
cal training, and to teach the du
ties, responsibilities and privileges
of American citizenship.
The white course is designed
for the benefit ot selected citizens.
-who have had military training
which is the equivalent of the ad
vanced red course, -in order .that
they may qualify themselves for
service 'in the national' guard or
organized reserves as non-commis
sioned officers capable of training
recruits for duty ag privates and
leading them in active service. En
rollment in this course will not
obligate the student to present or
tuture service in any component ot
Jhe army.

TRIBUTE TO CIRCUIT RIDER
IS PAID BY BAPTIST PASTOR
There was a well filled house
to 'hear Rev. Ernest H. Shanks,
pastor of the First Baptist church,
speak on "The ; Circuit Rider"
Sunday night. Theoccasion which
called out, the subject was the
placing of the memorial to Rev.
Robert Booth last week. Because
of the fact that the memorial has
not yet been unveiled and for
mally presented, a detailed ac
count of the life and labor of Rev,
Mr. Booth was hot given by Dr.
Shanks.
The 'subject, however, afforded
an opportunity to sketch the work
of the pioneer preacher and mis
sionary, work in which the speak
er has had some personal experi
ence, both in western Canada and
in the Pacific islands.
Dr. Shanks said, in part:
"These- men who went every
where preaching the Gospel have
always been the forerunners of
civilization. It is an interesting
fact to note in the history of Ore
gon how in those first decades'
the story is interwoven with the
life of the missionary and the
itinerant preacher. Frbm the
coming of -the first Catholic mis
sionaries in the late '30s right
down to the days of settled state
hood, the story, is one of settle
ments and missions, always built
around the idea of opening up the
country for the Gospel, the con
version of the Indians, and the
winning of the west for the
church. The Methodist mission
aries were on the ground -in the
early '40 with regular establish
ed work. Dr. Marcus Whitman,
as early as 1836, began his work
for Oregon. While the first
Methodist church in Portland was
not built jttntil tbe.'year 1850, well
established work in many parts
of the state had already begun the
forming of a Chlrstian common
wealth of Oregon and what is now
Washington. Astoria,' The Dalles,
and in the Willamette valley mis
sionaries were Sat work. '
, "While Oregon was .being op
ened up to the Gospel and being
settled with homemakers from "the
east, many, ot the eastern, states
were in the pioneer stage, as
Ohio, Indiana, " Illinois, ' Michigan
and Wisconsin:' 'In an these the
circuit-"rider TJtad his " important
part. . My own grandfather, David
Shriner, was an itinerant preacher

Can't Stop Joint Ease
"You can't stop people from
buying -Joint-Bas for sor throat
and cold in. .chest," writes one of
our druggist friends. "They Say
it's the best :ever." i
We know that, of course; but
pleaHe rtexmember that Joint-Ease
is for stiff, swollen; painful joints',
whether rheumatic or not, and Us
tremendous sale for that purpoes
proves that it is the one joint rem
edy that gets the most satisfying
results.
A tube costs 60.. cents at drug
stores everywhere. 1 , Just rub It on
and in a few seconds it disappears
completely under the skin, and re
lief follows instantly. Adv.
and advanced red courses must be
between the ages of 17 and 24
years for the white course be
tween the ages of 18 and 24 years
and for the blue course between
the ages of 19 and 24 years. Can
didates "for all courses must, in
addition to passing a physical ex
amination, present satisfactory
evidence of their moral character
and ability to assimilate the in
struction given in the courses for
which they apply. '
The training schedules, in addi
tion to training in citizenship,
embrace many phases' of military
training athletics and ' .suitable
forms of recreation. Keen inter
est was manifested by the students
at last year's camp, in rifle marks
manship and many of them made
high scores and received marks
manship insigna. This year marks
manship insignia will be awarded
while the' student is at camp. 1
The chief of staff, 96th divi
sion, has on file in his office, sev
eral hundred letters from the par
ents of last year students, highly
commending the citizens' military
training camp' at Camp Lewis,
Wash., for the benefits derived
by their sons.
All applications for detailed in
formation concerning these camps
should bejftade at an early date
to the chief of staff, 96th divi-
s-ion, room 3 23 New rostornce
building, Portland, Ore. Informa
tion pamphlets and application

from parents of eligible young
men are especially desired.

and rode all over northern Ohio

could be gathered for the Gospel
Riding miles and miles through
almost trackless forests, often
with great fatigue, but with
heart that was. warm with love for
God and men, seeking to win men
from sin and profanity and infi
delity to God. My own mother
as a school teacher and evangelist
going from community to coni
munity teaching and preaching
and holding revival meetings.
helped to win that great state to
God. In the lumber camps of the
northwest, in the back blocks of
Australia, in the jungles of mis
sion fields, yet today the itiner
ant preacher holds the key to the
development and settled condition
of the country. These men go
about preaching the word. There
is no other Gospel, no other teach
ing, no other force that can open
up a country for civilization. Not
a dollar haa ever come out of any
country in the way of commerce
until the Gospel of Christ has
first gone in by the missionary ,ot
the cross. Take India, China, Ja
pan, Africa, for example,! Their
development as world powers, as
commercial possibilities; has al
ways . followed the work of the
missionary. The splendid develop
ment of this great state' of Ore
gon, with its established cities and
centers of industry, is due in a
large measure to the men who
went about preaching and teach
ing. Honor and credit must be
given to these men who have en
dured hardship, labored inces
santly for the Gospel. ; They were
men who had a message, believed
a book, followed a guide, heard a
voice, saw a : vision of God and
felt the burden of responsibility
for the salvation of men. They
preached an old-fashioned Gospel
that was effective and laid the
foundation' of righteousness for
the state." . ;i

that the prolonged drouth ha.
been broken with rains during the
riast week.
I "As a Webfooter by adoption I
never enjoyed a rain 'more than
the one that poured down steady
fori three hours when motoring
through the grape and raisin belt
of the San Joaquin valley, where
they had less than -one inch in the
past year, and only one -one-hun
dredth of an inch since Decem
ber." said Colonel Ilofer. "Cattle
have been dying by thousands in
so me parts of the state for lack
of pasture, and lambs bad to be
killed to save the ewes from Starr,
vation. Some of the ."rivers ip
California were so dry the .beds of
the rivers caught fire and burned

through a continuous succession
of new additions.
"We heard one real estate story
that -shows what is going on and
how fast it is going. An addition
of 600 lots was platted between
Hollywood and Santa Monica. The
streets were put in, the lots
cleared of rocks and sage brush,
sewers connected, water and gas
put in, sidewalks and curbs put
in, palms planted and parkings set
to flowers. When ready for mar
ket sale was advertised a few days
to take place Sunday. Saturday
and Saturday night buyers were
walking over the addition thick as
flies. Many camped all night on
their selections and to be on hand
Sunday'at 10 o'clock when the sale
took place intending buyers hired
boys to sleep on the lot of their
choice all night at $5 a boy. In
some cases the boys, were bought
off and some one else held it down

to
Rheumatism is. no respecter of
age. sex. color or rank. If not
the most dangerous of human af
flcitions it is one of the mot pain
ful. Those subject to rheuma
tism should eat no sweets for
awhile, dress as warmly as possi
ble, avoid any undue exposure and
above all, drink lots of pure wa
tfer. .
"' Rheumatism is caused by uric
acid or . body waste matter, and it
is often generated in the bowels
and absorbed into the blood. It
is th& function of the kidneys to
filter this poison from .the blood
and cast It out in the urine; the
pores of the skin are also a means
of freeing the blood of this im
purity; Jn damp and. chilly, cold
weather the skin pores are closed,
thus forcing the kidneys to dou
ble work; they become weak and
sluggish and fail to eliminate this
toxic acid, which keeps accumulat
ing and circulating through the
system, eventually settling. Jn the
Joints and muscles, causing stiff
ness, eoreness and pain, called
rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheuma
tism get from any pharmacy about
four ounces of Jad Salts; put a
tablespoonful in a glass of water
and drink before breakfast each
morning for a week. This Is help
ful to neutralize acidity, remove
the waste and stimulate-the kid
neys, thug helping (o rid the-blood
of these rheumatic poisons. -
Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is
made from the acid of grap and
lemon Juice, combined with lithia
and .la nsed with excellent results
by thousands of folks who are
subject to rheumatlsm-Adv ,
