3 THE OREGON STATESMAN. SALEM OREGON SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 10,' 1924 SALEM CITIZEN 11 ESCO FESSIDiJ I Gives Out News of Some of His Deeds and Also Misdeeds By D. II. TALMADGE j If you cannot say something good of a person, say nothing. "We adopted this rule early In our newspaper career, and we thought It did ua considerable credit. We found, however, that a strict .ad herence to It resulted in a dull paper, and the folks- fifty years ago liked a dull paper) even less than do the folks of today. So we deviated from it more or less frequently and became quite popu lar and successful. However, it Is a good rule. ' ! In mentioning this rule we are reminded of Eph Lambert and Tessle Riggs. Tesaie was a -com- . positor in our office. She was the daughter of a no-account farmer out in the Coon Hollow district. Eph was the son of the same kind of a farmer in the same district. He was in trouble pretty much all the time, and had a bit more fhan a fair prospect of developing into a real desperado. Nobody had a good word to say for him nobody that la. but Tesaie. H " She came to us one morning with the news that Eph was in Jail again, charged this time: with disturbing the peace, said peace being the community meeting at the Coon Hollow school house. He had it, was said, shot out the lights and perpetrated other un gentlemanly acts. Tessle was cry ing. She eaid that Eph was the only honest-to-goodness live one in the whole of Coon Hollow, and that alt he needed to make him RUPTURE . EXPERT COMING TO ; SALEM r TWO DAYS ONLY "Will Care Free Demonstration On Friday and Saturday, J August 15 and 10. j I At MARION HOTEIj . From 10 a. m. lo 4 p. m. I. On above date the noted rupture appliance expert, C. F. Redlich, will' give a free demonstration, j "You will at once realize the difference between his highly efii- cient, absolutely sanitary ap pliances' and the Inefficient un comfortable; smelly and thorough ly unsanitary elastic web trusses with their bulky, plainly visible pads add their, abominable char ing legs traps or the various mall order steel or wire trusses which never fit right. All of these un scientific devices make your rup ture steadily worse instead or bet ter. as you well know. Mr. Red Hch's appliances, scientifically fitted by an expert in person, will give security and comfort for years to come, not only to those with recent and small ruptures, but also to old, neglected cases. They are by far - the cheapest In the long run. ; Many ruptures are now. healed by these improved mechanical methods which formerly necessi tated .operations; but do not de lay, f' i Children should' never carry a rupture into manhood or woman hood, aa they can be easily re stored to a normal condition by a proper mechanical method. These clean and sanitary devices j Will here be most appreciated. ! It will not cost you anything o be shown and a visit may mean a great deal to you and those de pendent on you." Home Office: 335 Boston Block Minneapolis,- Minn. Adv. ;". ' We Examine A happy combination of optical He material of service enables us to furnish you glasses that are pleas ing in appearance and that give complete satisfaction. v ' Do Not Neglect Your Eyes Dr. Burdette Opposite Ladd & Bush Bank the finest of a man was- a word of kindly helpfulness. He was being driven to a ca reer of crime by a lot of- long faced, short-minded, pious old coots, she said. She begged us to write an editorial about Eph, set ting forth what a misuirderstood boy he was,! and more because our subscription list In Coon Hol low was all but impossible to col lect; from than for any other reas on we consented to do it. j Art Effective Editorial ! Now we have stirred up the animals- a few times in our career, but we never stirred them tip more thoroughly than we did with that editorial -about Eph. i They simply raged and howled. Our esteemed c-ontemporaryj of opoosite political faith pointed; the finger of scorn at us in a full column of double leaded long primer; eaid we were a fine one to pick candidates fo people to vote for, we were! Then onej day, Eph having served his thirty days, Tessle led him into our office and we had a long talk, j "It's up to you, Eph," we said finally. ! "Tessle and the paper believe in you. and the paper has staked its reputation for trustworthiness on you. and! if you don't make good well! we're just about done for, that's all."; He didn't (epeak for quite a while, just put out: on hand to Tessie and one to us and fastened his eyes on a portrait of Abraham Lincoln on the wall. His eyes softened, after a bit and tears trickled down his face. - Then his teeth clicked, y r "AH rlght.f he Baid; "youw1n." He got a job as a freight brake man on the P., D. & Q. next day, and twenty years later lv was a division superintendent and he and Tessle have a beautiful home and their oldest boy is one of the best football players in the U.S.A All of which goes to show that the old rule is deeper and wider than might appear on the face of it. ;m;- Somehow we are more proud of the salvation of Eph Lambert than of anything else we've done with the old paper. ' I I We referred to old Jim Tunk asa a prominent! citizen in our last week's issue.; He la perhaps our most prominent dead-beat. Sadie Rittle was married to Ben Wink the other day, and we spoke of her in our columns as hating looked beautiful, which was probably the case as far as Ben was concerned, but the rest of us are pretty well agreed that she has the ugliest face in town. It is not a bad face, but it has the appearance of having been thrown together hastily, and she persists in advertising it with rouge and other dressing. Edythe Vanrinkle has gone to New York' to study vocal music and take lessons in voice training. We stated that our town was very proud of her. Why shouldn't It be? She Is the only girl In our town who ; can wiggle her ears. However, Mr. Vanrinkle bought fifty extra copies. Dramatic Reviewing Occasionally we indulge in sat ire. When Moll Redder decided to cease scandalizing our town and move to a larger one we wrote a personal to the effect that the larger town's gain was our town's loss. So far ag wj have been able to determine everybody caught the idea except Moll. She came into the office with tears zigzag ging all over her makeup and sub scribed Tor a year. For some reason we don't feel proud of our EiftTbr satire any more. When our dramatic club gave a play two or three weeks ago we wrote quite j a piece about It. Among other things, we said that the presentation was fully up to the standard of some traveling professional companies, and pretty much every 'member of the club came in and got a copy to send away. But, dearly beloved, we've seen some traveling professional Eyes and Make aoceo and an experience gained through years - BOW OPTICAL CO. 325 State St. com pan lee that were so rotten O, so rotten! :- li When Mrs. Dr. Cutter's land scape In oil was displayed in the drug store window, we mentioned it, saying that the lady has mar velous talent. True enough. ' It isn't every artist who can paint a -woodland road so cleverly that anyone not an expert cannot tell it from a waterfall. There has been great rivalry amongst the secret societies of pur town in the matter of funeral. Every; lodge had pulled one or more funerals during the past year with the exception of the W.R.C., and they were feeling con siderably downcast about it, rbut their chance came with the pass ing of Mrs. Hunker and they made the most of it., going to the limit of their ritual. It was a real im pressive eeremonyt and It was just bad luek, we reckon, that pur story of it should have- referred to the society as the Woman's Re lief Corpse. Typographical errors will happen to. the best regulated newspapers. ' 1 f ; -Speaking of typographical er rors, Henry Blunt recited "The Man With the Hoe" at the jast week's meeting of the parent- teachers association. He has re cited it on forty or fifty other Occasions during the past two lor three, years. When we wrote, up the meeting we said that Henry favored it with a recitation, and our intelligent compositor j set it up "flavored," and somehow or other our Intelligent proofreader, which ka us. failed to mark the error. A thing like that gets on a man's nerves a long, droning recitation too often repeated, we mean. . THOUGHTS FOR EVERY. DAY By EDITOR J. B. PARKER of the Conway. (Arkansas) .

And did you? : : i; Did you see a fellow-traveler on this earth carrying a load that you knew was too great a burden for him to bear, and did you give him a lift? ; ; ; Did you see someone of sad mien and halting step, telling you of the opportune moment to lend helping hand, and did you re- spond? Did you hear a whisper of scan dal against someone, and did you quietly remove the cruel blow by Baying something good of that person ? ; Did you go a little bit out of your way to help someone today, or did you just accept all the good things which come to you without a thought about less fortunate persons? Unselfishness is a blessing mak er for everyone, and it never to extend its kindly deeds wher ever they can help those In dis tress. Making sacrifices for others Is a true test of love far more than are honied words and caresses which cost nothing and very often are just "make-believe." I Mrs. Emma Jane Cannon Passes Away at Silverton SILVERTON. Ore., Ang. 19. (Special to The Statesman.) Mrs. Emma Jane Cannon died ear ly Wednesday morning at , her home on East hill. ; Funeral ser vices were held from the Jack & Ec-kman undertaking parlors Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The body was sent to the Portland .crematory Friday. , ! ; Mrs. Cannon was born at-Silverton 71 years ago and spent practically all her life here. ' Be tides a 'husband and two children she leaves, a number of brothers and: sisters. Tiers are Mrs. S Ames, Grant Davis. Link Davis. Forret Davis, Clayton Davis and Mrs. McClure. The meanest man in the United States ate a green apple so he could keep the family awake all night. equipment, high- Dr. Wonner Salem, Oregon TRADE LETTER IS S Existing Fruit Conditions Set Forth in Lengthy Epistle ;.' j Various existing conditions, chief of which Is the fact that canned goods in nearly alt lines are sold out closely, are set forth in a t rade letter being mailed to fruit; brokers by Robert C. I'aulus. Pointed paragraphs on each of 1 different varieties of fruits are contained in the circular, and are as follows: Gooseberries-! As you will note there Is a surplus of gooseberries available. This does not indicate there was a heavy pack; in fact. the pack was short but it indi cates there was not the customary amount of gooseberries orders placed up to thft present time and when thes orders rr.me in the small surplus will soon he cleaned up. . . : Strawberries-i-On account of drought, there is a very sho:t pack of strawberries rand we, know of only; one lot of fancy No. 2 Wil son strawberries and no No. 10s n the Northwest. There are a few barreled goods unsold in the hands of one of the larger opera tors who will not quote, at this time as he is holding for a higher market. " ',. Loganberries The dry weather also has had a very serious effect on loganberries, shortening the crop! and several canners are de livering short on fancy and choice although' there are still a few available. Most canners have ad vanced the price on No. 10 water to $0.00 although there are a few still obtainable at $5.75. Red raspberries A very small surplus of red raspberries has been canned In Western Oregon. On account of the drought, the size of the fruit did not materialize causing a small pack of grades and causing most packers who had raspberries either to barrel their fruit or put them up in water, practically all of which have been Bold. Black raspberries Owing to the dryj weather, the blackcaps did not 'attain any v size and on that account the canners are deliver ing short on 1 fancy and choice grades. Very little water goods was put up and what excess there was over actual orders has been cleaned up the last few days. Quite a large portion of the black caps was dried this season and these are practically all sold and they sold for from 40 to 45 cents per pound. There are still one or two; lots amounting to three tons altogether which can be obtained at 43 cents per pound. Blackberrles-r-The drought Is affecting the blackberry crop and a number of the canners are re fusing to take, any more orders, stating they are booked as heavily as they dare book at present There are still a few canners .who are in more favored localities and they will take on a few more ord ersJ If any of your buyers are in terested, It would be well for them io cover ; meir, requirements at once. ; Royal Anne Cherries When orders are finally placed for Royal Annes, tne small surplus packed in the- Northwest which Is avail able at present will disaDnpar The, quality of i cherries this year as a rule has been good. Dlack Cherries Practically no niack cherries were packed in ex cess? of orders due to the fact that the j fresh shipping market was so strong, growers? preferred to ship them fresh, and canners could not pay; competing prices. Bartlett Pears On account of a keen demand, S prices on Bartlett pears have been advancing stead ily. Most Northwestern canners are. sold so close they i.j not dare sell any ; more until they know where their fresh supplies are coming from. Prices started around $40 a ton at which price a few lots of fresh peirs were bought but the majority of the crops bought by canners will run from $50 to $70. A sal of one lot at $80 was rumored but we have been unable to confirm the report. Inquiries for all grades of pears, especially standards and Becoud3 have been extremely heavy. Prunes There are a few lots of spot prunes- available which look like a good purchase. The new crop of prunes, probably due to frost around the blooming period has quite a percentage of what ap pears, to be frost marks on the prunes, and as a result canners will have to sort very closely. This may not only run the cost of pack ing up but may also iun the cost of the fruit higher per case on ac count of the waste which will have to be thrown out. At. the price for which the oldcrop can be bought, they will undoubtedly look very attractive against the new crop prices. Apples Up to within a week or ten days ago, there was not much Interest in apples. Inquiries are coming in, however, from various sections ; and from . now on, we look for a keener interest in this item. Canners are asking $4.25 and so far there is no disposition to shade this price as canners state they made no money out of apples at $4' last year and prefer not to do the business than to have to SENTBY do It with no profit. ;;:: : Li giS WmiM Slf S till my y Mail : iJMilm X y i mm New Fall Shoes Are Here E TO BE REMEMBERED F. W. Kelley, President of Portland Company, bails for London NEW YORK, Aug. 9. P. W- Kelley, president Portland jCement association and president the Hel derberg Cement company, Albany, sailed for London this morning on the Aquitania, where he will address cement makers from vari ous parts of the world attending a convention ju London early in sppiemuer io- commemorai me one hundredth anniversay of the invention of portland cement. Mr. Kelley, who has for many years been-a leader in the scien tific field of cement manufacture, is also a member of the American Society for Testing Materiak. American Society of Mechanical 'Engineers and a number of other technical associations. Just be fore leaving he. said: "It re quired the real pioneer spirit for Joseph Aspdin, a humble Knglish- man to whom we owe the discov ery of portland cement, to thor oughly blend dissimilar materials. ground to extreme finesness and from them produce the 'portland cement by burning and grinding. His was the same Anglo Saxon spirit which has explored and Set tled continents the spirit which has examined and determined fairly the mutual relations, of the men who peopled theee conti nents." Mr. Kelley remarked that "In giving portland cement to the wrold, England made possible Jtlte spectacular and wide-spread use of concrete, so common in Ameri ca, particularly in the form of skyscrapers and concrete roads. Concrete with its high speed of construction is typically Ameri can, while its, permanence is char acteristic of British solidarity." Mr. Kelley will visit and make a study of many cement plants m England and on the continent to compare American and foreiga practices and methods of manu facture. . s i : . DEFENSE TO END PLEA FOR JUDICIAL MERCY (Continued from page 1) Loeb, and Foreman Leopold,, bro ther of Nathan, and the Loeb fam ily chauffeur would be the last de fense witnesses, Mr. Darrow indi cated, lie said that they would be calle npon to testify certain exhibits and not to give extensive testimony. -. , Immediately upon the defense resting, Robert E. Crowe, state's HI II NT1 "Bishop's Virgin Wool Fabrics CXAVTW ING -"WOOLiEK attorney, will launch a vigorous rebuttal In furthering his demand for the death penalty. Former friends, university in structors, servants in the Leopold and Loeb families and prominent women, some of whom were pupils of Leopold in his ornithological class, are named on a list of 50 prospective witnesses announced by Mr. Crowe as having been sum moned to testify that the youths are sane and constitute normal ac tors in what he has called "a per fect hanging case." Rebuttal will require possibly four days, the prosecutor indicat ed. ' Prospective Aime needed for the state was reduced today when Mr, Crowe agreed with Mr. Par row not to call more than four alienists if the defense would cut off expert testimony with that of Dr Hnlbert. BACK AT S1LVKRTOX SILVERTON, Ore., Aug. 9. (Special to The Statesman.) E. A- Booth who went to Medford ford. last spring to be employed at thet Fluhrer 15a!Ty at that place is aealn back at. Silverton witu the Milligan Grocery store where he wag employed a short time be fore leavinsr for Medford. For 8 years Mr. Bcothi was - with the Georgo Cnstter Mercantile com pany of Silverton. The Booth family will return some time be fore school starts. Mrs. Booth was prominent in Silverton club circles. Real DemandDevelops For Fresh Oregon Prunes Growers will probably receive a fair price for their fresh prunes this season as the representatives of Denny & Co. have boosted their price $5 a ton and are now offer ing $25 ton for the green fruit. John Young of Young & Wells. Spokane fresh fruit firm, is ex pected to arrive in Salem-tomorrow and to enter the market with an offer of $30 a ton. A maority of the erowers have signed up on the consignment basis, but the new price may place them on a cash basis in the rt'uture. ; Green prune picking is now un der way and ; occasionally a few prunes are found' that are ripe enough to eat. ! Shipping- is ex pected to get under way in earnest Monday. A number of growers are shipping green fruit rather than to gamble with the weather by taking a chance, on. late rains, which might spoil the crop and prevent drying. j CHICHESTER S PILLS xn iiamn a Blah . a LVsntA At fTcC irkJt-TtK'S hlKMVSI HIUKD PILLS, for t M k aoa M Beet.
