Debenture Supporters
Exnress Confident
The confidence radiated by sup
Mrttira of th. debenture proposal
was more striking than usual to
day in contrast to the reticence or
administration leaders to discuss
their chances optimistically. The
vote is looked upon generally as
providing the first contest of ma
lar nronortlons between President
Hoover and the senate, and those
opposing the chief executive are
made up practically entirely irom
the democratic and republic in
dependent ranks.
While members of the adminis
tration erouD discussed the out
look among themselves in relation
to how individual senators class
oil an "doubtful" might vote, such
comments for publication were

uneasiness was apparent, hew-

WIDE VARIETY OF
E

PRESSED
Elaborate Program Held
At Keizer School House
For May Day on Friday
ries in the United States are
grown.
The substantial raises on poul
try products, including eggs, will
help poultry breeders, especially
against the competition from
China and Russia.
Filbert growers got all they
asked, a doubling of the duty to
5c on nuts in the shell, and
shelled nuts 10c.
Walnut growers hoped for
cents and got an increase to 5
cents for nuts In the shell, and
from 12c to 15c for shelled nuts.
This will give a considerable help.
The duty on fax straw is raised
from $2 to $3 a ton; not of great
consequence. But the raise from
$40 to $60 a ton on hackled or
dressed line will help to establish
primary factories here, for thresh
ing, retting and scutching flax,
and so will help the whole flax in
dustry here.
The raise on wool from 31 to
34 cents a pound for the clean
content will slightly aid our wool
growers.
The proposed increase on sugar.
to 3c a pound for the world sup
ply, and to $2.40 on the raw
Cuban sugar, will give the beet
sugar industry a boost in the beet
growing states, and also will help
the cane sugar industry in the
south. It may conceivably giva
Oregon, and especially the WIL
lamette valley, beet sugar fac
tories.

abandon the Willamette river and
bring in mountain water."
'In my opinion the city should
allow the water company to pro
ceed with its new filter," declared
Paul Wallace, one of the former
owners of the plant. "The . city
cannot afford to bear the cost
which a mountain system would
eost. I. think the present company
has done Its best to correct ex
fating situations but it takes time
to make the arrangement neces
sary for a new filter system. If
the agitation continues for a new
ownership, It is only logical that
the Oregon-Washington Water
company will hold up its develop
ment. Wouldn't you hesitate to ex
pend $250,000 under circumstan
ces which were uncertain?"
"Nothing about Salem is dis
pleasing to me except the water
we use," says Douglas McKay,
commander of the legion. Tues
day. "We should remedy the sit
uation. I favor, city ownership of
the supply and the distribution
system and I believe mountain
water should be used. You know
what BulL Run water has meant
to Portland. Salem should have a
water supply of which she could
be proud."
"I can't express an expert opin
ion on the question whether Sa
lem should have a mountain
source of water supply or not be
cause I don't know. I do know,"
said Custer Ross Tuesday, "that
Salem's water supply is not satis
factory. I feel the city made a
mistake a number of years ago
when It voted to purchase the
water company's plant and failed
to make the deal good." ,
A. C. Bobxnstedt. Salem realtor,
declared he was not in a position
to talk authoritatively upon the
matter, but that generally speak
ing he is not in favor of publicly
I owned enterprises. I do think,
however." he added, "that the
water comnanv has been negligi
ble in taking care of the local sit
uation and not working faster on
anch a Job; it seems to me it
ought not to have to go back to
New York for consultation o h
such steps and that the city ought
to have more say In the matter.
As far as a choice between river
and mountain water goes, from
what I understand of filtration. It
seems the water would be just as
snre if used from the river and
filtered. Mountain streams are
used so much nowadays and the
water would have to be brought
from so far ud to eet awav from
this that I am not sure whether
the mountain water would be any
more pure than river water.'

Prices On All
Cherries Stiffened
The increased protective rate
on cherries in brine with their
stems and pits, to 5 cents a
pound, and stemmed and pitted to
9tt cents, will tend to stiffen the
prices of all sweet cherries In this
section: more especially the Royal
Ann type. Heretofore shippers of
small sized cherries of this type
in brine from Spain, Italy and
France have had an advantage at
the maraschino factories of the
east, over our cherries of a larger
size, getting their cherries through
In brine without an extra duty.
Under the present law the duty
was 2c a pound, raised to 3c by
order of the president under the
resiliency clause. There was an
attempt to show that cherries In
brine were In the process of man
ufacturing, but the court of ap
praisers denied this contention.
The raise on cherries competing
with our Royal Ann type Is from
t cents a pound to 6 He, and to
7c when pitted and stemmed.
A substantial raise, which will
make a. great difference in favor

Hugh Coleman, superintendent
of the Baker schools, has written
George W. Hug, Salem superin
tendent, asking for recommenda
tions aa to a new principal for the
Baker high school to succeed Fred
D. Wolf, who was recently elect
ed principal of the 'Salem high
school. Mr. Coleman suggests
that possible Wolf's "runner-up"
to the Salem position would be a
suitable applicant for the eastern
Oregon job.
Mr. Coleman also writes that
the Baker school board and Cole
man himself were anxious to have
Wolf remain there and even of
fered to raise his salary to match
the $3,000 offered by Salem, but
that Wolf refused, preferring for
other reasons to come to Salem
Mr. Wolf will begin his duties
here August 1.
KEIZER, Mar In spite of
Inclement weather a large crowd
of parents and friends of the Kei
zer school gathered for the May

The first number of the pro
gram was a playlet entitled

and Mrs. Cora Beardsley Jn
charge. Seventy children took
part. Muriel Bartruff was queen
whose party included 12 fairies
and pages and eight groups of
flowers besides brownies.
Parade Hefore Queen
All the groups of flowers ar
ranged in bright costumes parad
ed before the queen begging her
to make them queen of the May.
The last to appear were the shy
little violets plainly dressed in
purple and from this group Eileen
Holden was chosen as queen of
the May. The duty of sunshine
was to teach the Brownies tasks
of good Instead of mischief. The
following songs were sung by the
flower groups, "Who Will Be the
Queen of the May?" "Welcome to
May," and "May Pole dance."
Sunshine was John Gardner.
Julius Harold was Dewdrop the
queen's messenger.
The next number was given by
the 5th and 6th grades Mrs. Eva

Gods," portraying Indian life and

ner, overseer, who foretold the
falling of the great bridge.
The last number was presented
by the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th
grades. Mrs. Kelso and Mrs. Ber
yl Porter, teachers.
Play Well Arranged
The play was entitled "Spring
Cantata," and was arranged by
Lorraine Beecroft, Irene Byerly
and Maxine Bowman. The children
represented flowers, birds and
bees and they also selected a May
queen a May pole dance was
scheduled to be given at the con
elusion of this play, but the usual
Oregon shower prevented, and the
crowd had to gather in the school
house. The Boy Scouts, with Mr,
Roy Betzer as Scout Master also
was to have had a drill and the
Keizer base ball team was to play
Hayesville both of which were
postponed.
All the grades displayed the
school work of the year In their
respective rooms, and these dis
plays showed careful attention to
every detail in their work. In the
carpenter work first honors were

"Daphne"
(Continued from Page 8.)
"But I think you are beautiful.
Daphne."
What was that queer throbbing
note in his voice? It frightened
her. 8 he shook herself restlessly.
She was nertbus, imagining
things. He was teasing her . .
She made some laughing ans
wer, and soon she was back to
Ralph again. Can you imagine
being in love for years with some
body you've never really seen? It
sounds foolish . . I can't ex
plain it exactly . . He was al
ways so far away on the football
field you know, and all the news
paper pictures were different, and
then that day that I did meet him
face to face I was crying so hard
he was all blurred, and "- .
They were home before she had
half finished her story.
"Home already! Oh, Allan so
soon? And It's been such a won
derful day. We'll have some more
days, all of us together. A four
some, you know, wouldn't you
like It. Allan with Ralph too?"
She looked ,up Into his face
eagerly, waiting for his answer.
She did so want him to meet Miss
Yardley.
"Why, you're terribly tired!"
she cried, shocked by the haggard
face the street light showed her.
Ht had the look of one who has
suffered cruelly for hours, the
glazed eyes, the pinched, pale
look about the mouth and nose.
All Daphne's tender heart turned
to water. "I'm so sorry . . .to
think of you driving all that way,
and me chattering on and on. Is
it a headache, Allan? Tou aren't
sick?"
He smiled at her solicitude.
"You're sweet, Daphne, but it is
not anything . . anything you
can help . ."
Flora Mc'Cardle limped into
Mrs. Hinckle'a kitchen with' new
shoes on her feet, new gloves on
her hands, and a lucious, custard
filled coffee cake, only a litlte
crushed, in a pasteboard box in
her arms.
"Get together girls, we're going
to celebrate! Flory's got her first
pay check, Glory be to God . .
Have you got enough coffee for a
party, Mama Hinckle? Us girls
are going to have a treat, yep, a
treat on the Herald's new society
editor, meaning Flory. A whole
week and not fired yet! Will you
look at the nuts on that cake?
Turn! You cut it, Daphne, and
maybe Viola can find enough cups
for the gang. I've got to take
these damn shoes off, I've gone
and got 'em too small again "
"it must be wonderful to work
on a newspaper!" Viola gushed,
thinking of murder and sudden
death, and ambulances, and pois
oned candy.
"Maybe," Flora sighed, "but not
society. 'The beautiful debutante
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Osh
kosh McKimple' oh Blah Say,
Daphne, I've been hearing a lot
about that flame of yours,
though "
Daphne blanched and then turn
ed scarlet, as she always did when
Ralph' s name was mentioned.
"You mean Ralph McKevitt "
Flora grinned good naturedly.
Tea, but nothing to worry about,
baby. Just society items. He was
one of the leading lights at the
Arts bail Saturday night, his pic
ture was in the paper, didn't you
see it?"
Daphne shook her head. Satur
day might . .at a ball. That
was why he, didn't call her, that
was wny he dldn t come on Sun
day . ..
Flora reached over and patted
Daphne's shoulder. "Oh, come on,
kid don't look so tragic! I
wouldn't have told you if I though
you'd care. What did he do, tell
you a little white lie?"
Daphne couldn't answer, she
bent her head, crumbling the cof
fee cake in her plate.
"Because he was too soused to
go witli you Sunday Well, you
are a sap. Daphne fussing over
a little thing lfke that!. My God.
what do you expect of a fellow
like Ralph McKevIttT What iim
of a mama's boy do you think he
Is. Listen, girlie you've got to
get over that. You're dealing with
a man not a babe in rompers.
You've got to overlook a few
things in this life, and you've got
to get out and do something if
you want to hold a fellow like
that.
"Say, If I had a chance with Mc
Kevitt, would I droop like a
faded rosebud because he was out
with another girl? Nix I'd be up
and doing. Gosh, Daphne isn't
he worth making a little effort
for?"
Daohne nodded miserably. "Yes
I suppose so but Flora I can"t
7-1 don t know how!"
'She didn't even finish her cof
fee cake," Mrs. Hinckle said re
proachXully. when Daphne had
gone, "aber, I won't let it spoil "
Flora pushed her own plate
aside. "Well she's lucky if thisA
