The conTentlon celebration, however, will gia at 8 o'clock Wednesday night, August 14, with the presentation of a gigan tic spectacle of World war ser rice on land and sea. Soldiers. sailors, legionnaires and civilians to the cumber of BOO will take part in this- spectacle, which is to be staged on Amotan field. The Dalles high school turf corered and flood lighted football ground. The spectacle is planned to fol low the life and-training of World war recruits from their entry into service until their participation in front line warfare. Crashing of Plane Will be Highlight Among the sensational features of the spectacle will be the crash ing of an airplane on the field as a climax of a representation of a student aviator's first solo flight. This airplane has been especially constructed for the spectacle. with a wingspread of 24 feet and! a length over all of 35 feet. The machine actually will fly over .the field and will crash from a 'height of 75 feet to the ground below. Details of the method of control and the safety of the pilot when the machine lands are be ing closely guarded by The Dalles rolture of the 40 et 8, sponsors of the world war drama. During a night scene in the pageant, a transport ship, 74 feet long, picked out of the darkness by spotlights, will "sail" from a pier and will be convoyed by a torpedo boat destroyer, 35 feet long. Both the transport ship and the torpedo boat destroyer hare been designed and constructed with elaborate attention to detail and correctness of appearance. Loss of Life Will Be Terrific, Plan In mid-field, the transport ship, which is theoretically convoying troops to France, will be torpe doed, by an enemy submarine with a resultant explosion, and the 'loss of many lives."

By LILLIE L. MADSEN IT YDRANGEAS do best in a moist soil. To thrive, tney must have Plenty of water. A little shade Is also beneficial, and they are as a whole heavy feeders. An ap plication of bone meal late in Aug ust or early Sep tember, and an other in Febru ary will do much to Improve their bloom another year. Pruning also has much to do with the size and condition of the bloom. Se- im X Halm vers pruning is essential to good hydrangea bloom. This may be done either after the shrub is finished bloom ing or early in February. A heavy peat moss malcn is beneficial, placed about the shrub at this time of the year. As to color, the .pink ones become blue in acid soil and remain pink in a lime or neutral soil. Unless the foliage is still nice and you desire to keep it for that purpose, iris leaves may be cut to within three or four inches of the ground at this time. I find iris foliage exceptionally attractive, and, unless it is in the way for further gardening projects or grows so tall that it hides more desirable plants, I would 'advise leaving it aldne until later In the season. Cutting, however, is ab solutely harmless to iris now. Tips About Peonies If the leaves of peonies are dry, they may be cut off. But as a rule peony foliage remains green until late in the season and then it should not be removed until Sep tember or October. When you do cut your iris and peony foliage be sure to burn the cuttings, to pre vent carrying orer of disease or I insect eggs. I Remember that September and October are peony planting months It is time you are mak ing a list of the new ones you wish to add. Bonemeai, well-decayed com post and wood ashes are the fav orite foods of peonies. But do not overfeed them unless you desire foliage rather than bloom. This is also the time of year to be making some of your shrub cuttings. Weigelas are among those which root readily from softwood cuttings. If proper care is given them, they often bloom the second season. There are many lovely varieties. Including deep red, pink, pure white and those with varigated leaves. Eastman Gardens Fine The garden of Mr. and Mrs. I. C. Eastman is among the newer of the many lovely Silrerton gar dens. Pedestrians and motorists alike, passing along West Main street," have for the past several months been watching with keen interest the transformation of a weedy, rambly vacant lot into a most attractive miniature park. Closer Inspection of the park, which adjoins the colonial East man home, reveals many things of interest. Approximately 100 lit tle trees and shrubs have been planted here. Eventually, Mr. Eastman admits, this will become a bit crowded. But then, he adds, he can always remove the extras. and only by planting and watch ing growth will he know which he desires most. There is a preponderance of na tive material in the Eastman park. Rhododendrons, firs, a pine from the eastern part of the state, wil lows. Oregon grape, mock orange are among the varieties found. One fir tree shows unusual ambi tion. It made its aormal growth in i ora ruzzie SHEFFER VERTICAL 1 corypheus 2 upon 3 hansom 4 single spots 6 plane 6 coney 7 equal 8 cover 9 printer's measure 10 French game of cards 11 Civil War general 13 invade 16 perpetually 19 chosen 21 an aatt in Jutland 23 plaudit 25 steeple 27 email child 29 strike lightly 31 well-bred S3 compound ether 84 cubic meter (PU 85 locality 87 diatribe 88 crackles 41 English - diarist 44 feminine name 45- beek 48 salt x ' 49 Portuguese coin v 52 symbol for gala' urn 64 Wd provost (abbr.) early in the season, and now is making a second growth. A wil low tree, enticed from its natural way of growth, has been twisted, braided, and all but stood n its head to make an unusual speci men. Mr. Eastman Informs his visitors that the little tree will also be stood on its head before he is through, with it, as he plans to bend some of the tips to the ground and layer them to form arches about the tree. Snakes Get Home : A snake sanctuary is an unusual feature of the garden. It la built in a far corner and shelters some 30 small garden snakes. It is about three feet high, formed of rocks and roughly cemented to gether. Native grass is being en couraged in the park, and already a fine green stand has been ob tained. One of the most attractive fea tures of the gardens of Mr. and Mrs. Eastman is the outdoor liv ing room at the back of the dwel ling. Tall shrubbery completely screens it in, giving It a fine priv acy. An unusually attractive fireplace centers it, with a stone court reaching out several feet in front. The stone court is an im provement over many fireplace fronts, where heat keeps the grass seared, and constant use keeps it worn off. Norman Eastman, a son, has made the garden furni ture. Of special interest in this is the garden table "with its ad justable legs for uneven places on lawn or rock court. VISIT AT RICKRE ALL RICKREALL, July 27.

Q1RL awe v The Safety Valve Letters from Statesman Headers , JUST CRITICISM To the Editor: The statement is frequently mad that just criticism is wel come. The city water commission is making a mountain out of a mole hill; In other words laying plans as though they were taking over or handling a fifty million dollar system. Their selection of Mr. Van Patten as manager ot the water system was a good one- and the salary ot $300 per month not excessive. With Mr. Van Patten's ability as a practical builder and his growing with the water situ ation in Salem and the time as date of his election to the manag er position and a reasonable time of the present manager ot relin quishing of his duties should be ample time for Mr. Van Patten to familiarize himself with the true situation and managerial duties. He alone would be ample, but the commission has seen fit to add an other position as that of a con struction engineer at a salary ot 9225 per month, and .still in ad dition to the above two positions are retaining the present manager for two months, his salary at $325 per month, making a total outlay for the first two months of $850 per month, with still another salary in question. If it was at all necessary for a construction engineer, Mr. Gunther as has been stated with his experience of in stalling several water systems, this one position should be ample to handle the Salem situation.

TOOK ANOTHER ON A HAY-RIDE PARTY tion of a well or wells as .the source ot water supply and work able capital. ' Too much hast or speed has to date been proven Is likely to cost the city too much money. The acquiring; of the plant at a price of 11,000,000 is twice what the old system is really worth. This fact should be seriously considered. All of the exeesa costs must be added, to the taxes of Ihe already overburdened taxpayers. There should not be any more bonds sold. Why? Be cause the present load should not be increased. From now on we should pay as we go. And this can be done because it is going to take time and too much ditch digging or pipe laying or closed streets at one time should be taken into con sideration. Naturally the water commission will say that the above is sour grapes because the writer was an applicant for the manager position. This, of course, is-not true. I am still fighting for and am interested in a good well water system and in Salem and its future. No money should be spent or wasted on the old wa ter system. Speed should be cen tered on a good well or wells, good water and an ample supply. Tie water users are looking for ward to and expect a reduction la rates at the earliest possible mo ment. H. L.
