difficult in the extreme, j . ; .
"Dear Brute-ess." the laugh
proToking skit presented by Bob
' Alderman and Eileen Robinson,
ehovld serve as a -warning to bus
bands and wires as to the futtfre
if the modern trend of domestic

-rauderille for their proteges," The
Three Lawrence Sisters. The
Lawrence, girls hare developed
info perfect entertainers,; thanks
to their Inimitable teachers, and
are at the present time a: distinct
credit to their sponsors.
A figure that -Is almost un
known to the TaudertHe patron Is
jtbe- "old time fiddler! - will be
""privileged to hear one of the very
best of the remaining few when
"Dad" Pettis will appear at the
Elslnore theater; today.
Mr. and MrtifKarry Usher will
, appear at the Elslnore theater to
day fin their unique acts,- which

woven Zane Grey's", story, "The
Mysterious Rider," appearing at
the Elslnore theater April 29-30.
The fast riding Jack Holt plays
the title , role of Bent - Wade,
'whose life is in danger at ' the
hands of the homesteaders because
of his suspected duplicity. ' The
sequences in which he procres bis
innocence at the same time gain

which they were in danger of los
ing, form one of the most exciting
motion pictures of the year.
The famous Hollywood Fadettes
will appear on the program at the

They have 30 people in the
cast Including, two bands.
Oregon Theater
"The Overland Stage" shows af

The first National offering is
replete with thrills, of story, set
ting and the daring horseman
ship which marks the dark haired
Lothario of the West
The tale is set in the days when
the stage coach lines from the
East and -the West were just be
ing linked In the Indian country.
Maynard has the role of a scout
of the stage coach company, pos
ing as a gambler, in an effort to
discover who is robbing; the lines
and at the same time stirring up
Indian antagonism against the
company's general store.
.The romance that develops be

the daughter of the storekeeper

of the most enjoyable evenings of
entertainment I the screen has of
fered4n ome weeks. '

Who Help to Mate Brooks
;. , Spotless. Town
BROOKS, Oregon, April 28.
Desiring to - become the . ."Spotless'
Town" of, Oregon; Brooks has
kept In the front ranks for some
time past by picking up alt papers
andcans and boxes and wires and
pieces of glass that may often be
found scattered about in larger
towns, and all home owners are
turning their attention tojbeautl
. lying their premises by I flower
gardens. . . . ,
- ' Among the newer residents who
ar setting the pace for a more
Jieantiful Brooks, is Mrs, llum
phries and her son, who purchased
the attractive home of Mrs. Re
becca Jones at Main and j Pacific
streets last falL The Humphries'
returned last week front California,-
where the spent the i winter,
. and,; they are now busily engaged
in landscaping their premises and
adding Mowers and shrubs to the
already excellent collection. Prev
ious to coming to Brooks, they re
sided eighteen years at one home
in Portland, which, because: of the
flowers, was one of the most at-
tractive in the city. , . . j 1
The Statesman may claim a
little glory for securing these ex
cellent - people as residents ' of
Brooks, as they were subscribers
. before coming here, having helped
- a friend in a subscription contest;
and through its columns-learning
- of the advantages of this agricul
tural district. ' !

glorification now accorded.

District Manager Allen of the
Hunt Cannery Has Been
Keeping Records
, (The McMlnnville Telephone
Register of April 22 has the fol
lowing, interesting to all who are
concerned in any way in the prune
indnstry: )
"With growers debating as to
the outlook for the Italian prune
crop this year, data kept by W. jG.
Allen, district manager for .Hunt
Bros., on his prune crop In the
Dundee section, covering a period
of 15 years, is of interest as show
ing the apparent relationship of
sizes of crops from, one year to
another. " . -
"We are pretty sure from watch
ing crops year after year that un
less conditions are extra favor
able,' to have a smalled year fol
lowing a big year." Batted Mr.
Allen. ,
"Last year there were quanti
ties of 50-60 prunes, and as a re
sult we are pretty sure that there
will be no 50-60s to speak of this
year. The preceding year we had
ou an titles of 30s, and last year
there were no 30s ts speak of.
Had the growers found some satis
factory means of carrying over
their 30s another year they would
have had a big advantage. We
need some method of doing this to
even up the1 distribution of sizes,
and ! belieVe it may be worked
out, in fact quite sure it will.
"Last year we had" a big, prune
crop, and this year it looks like a
light crop. However, there is
bloom enough now on our Dundee
orchard to give us half a crop if
we do not get a lot of rain."
The 15-year period . on which
Mr. Allen has kept a crop . record
for his 240-acre Dundee orchard
of Italian prunes from 1905 to
1919, inclusive, and an analysis of
the results from year to year In
dicates the influence of one year's
crop on the next and gives some
sort of a basis to make estimates
of the possibility of the crop, al
though this, as giiown again by
analysis of the figures, is not con
clusive. . -

satisfied that nothing can prevent
war. Then there are those who,
in their desire to abolish war,
wish to make it as horrible as pos-
sible.
Sentiment ' Needed .
"It. would seem to be clear that
you cannot rely on declarations Or
resolutions, oiv papers, to prevent
war, unless back of all these is
the triumph of the spirit of rea
sonableness among peoples who
have ceased -to think. In terms of
war;, a habit of peace which will
not be found while causes of
strife still exist, and dreams of
successful appeals to force for the
vindication of injuries" -or the ex
tension of power continue to fas
cinate, and nations are . so intent
on preparation for fighting that
they find it Impossible to agree
upon any measures for,, the re
duction or limitation of burden
some expenditures of armament.
"It would appear to be worthy
of consideration that if there is
not Sufficient compelling humane
sentiment to induce agreement, if
war should come, o mitigate un
necessary cruelties and" to spare
noa-combatants from unrestrained
violenee, little progress has been
made in cultivating, the reasonable
disposition by which war may be
prevented," (
CITY'S SAFETY HOPES
J PINNED ON LEVEE CUf
(Continued from Page 1.)
to the days of French control of
the Mississippi valley. Plans of
state engineers regarding the exact
methods to be used and the extent
of the break to be made still
were carefully guarded secrets.
Break to be Gradual
Those versed in river engineer
ing lore, however, said there would
be little of the dramatic about the
actual break itself, that probably
small charges of dynamite would
be used so as not to weaken too
great a stretch of the levee, with
the mighty rush of the flood cur
rent left to complete the break
thus begun.
- This would mean that the in
undation of the parishes ! of St.
Bernard and Plaquemines ; would
be very gradual, with time still left
fcr the hundreds of residents who
have refused to Join the caravans
of refugees to make their way to
safety.
. Opposition Expressed
i There has been a tense feeling
in the territory to be flooded ever
since the proposal .to dynamite
the levee first was broached early
in the week, with some of the trap
pers of that section refusing to
leave and with other residents
who have sought refuge in camps
here expressing dissatisfaction
with the forced removal. ;
While prepared for any eventu
ality, state officials anticipated no
open resistance when theirj forces
move to the scene early tomorrow
to carry out -their drastic plan for
the relief of New Orleans: which
has the tacit sanction -of the fed
eral government and the full ap
proval of the army engineers.

The five 'mill levy which will
provide about : $100,000 a year
based cm Salem's increased valua
tion, will be sufficient to care for
construction of bridges and Im

cially 'in need: of replacement. It

' Provision Handicap
The city has been , badly, handi
capped in the past by the charter
provision making it impossible to
employ any one in a city office
who has not resided in the Salem
fora period of three years. There
have been , opportunities, commit
teemen said, for the employment
experienced firemen and -tech
nical experts - which .could not be
taken advantage of because of this
stipulation.. Its repeal is sought.
Another mater which, has caused
city officials difficulty is the fact
that it has been. Impossible to, col
lect from house owners for laying
of sidewalks in front of their prop
erty, because this is not provided
for in the city charter. It has been
looked upon as a minor lien on
the property which could not be
foreclosed. Only when the prop
erty changes hands has the city
been able to collect for the Im
provement. . Inclusion of the word
