Pace Eight The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon 'IT Senior Play Held Excellent Eugene Students To Present Drama ai Grand On Friday; Seat Sale Good Critics who claim to be "In the know" a claim to which critics frequently lay hold insist that Max Figraan and his co-workers who once presented "Nothing But the Truth," may well have a wor ry when they consider the success which the University of Oregon seniors are having in staging that vehicle. Salem play-goers will have an opportunity to Judge He merits for themselves tomorrow night when will be offered at the Grand theater. In Eugene the seniors played to two packed houses, and play re porters on both Eugene newspa pers laid the drama had the pro fessional air. They further set forth that the college folk's presen tation was equally as good as the average road show. Those per sons who reside in Salem through out the year will have difficulty in deciding this for themselves for they are seldom accorded the privilege of witnessing a good road how.

Albany and Salem Play On Sunday Fans Due for Treat at Lively Session; Scores of Rooters to Back Visitors Indications are that baseballs won't be the only objects tossed around at Oxford park next Sun day afternoon when the Salem Senators step on the same diamond with the Albany nlae for the third time this season. Raspber ries, fits and scar - will also be thrown if aught .ay be judged from the performance of spectators at the previous two session. Reports from Albany state that the visiting team will visit Salem accompanied by a few score rabid fans who are willing to bet rep utations that victory wil be theirs. Salem supporters are equally con fident that any bacon availed will not be carried back to Albany. Each team has one a game and on Sunday's contest rest the laurels. "Speck" Keene, star-bagger who worked with Hayes' nine last Sun day will be In an Albany uniform Sunday, but it is possible that "Lefty" Llnd, former Oregon star, will be on the initial cushion for Salem. Reinhart and "Home Hun" Knudsen. also of the Eugene school, will be on the local nine. That Sunday's game probably will be the biggest drawing card of the season is held by manager Hayes to be a certainty.

Hayes said today he will an nounce tomorrow who the "dark horse" is who will he placed on the mound for Salem.

Prices ranging from 15 to 19 cents a pound were paid for wool In the annual sale of the farmers' pool at Pilot Rock, held Wednesday. About 200,000 pounds were offer ed for sale and of this amount ap proximately 50,000 pounds were sold. The total amount offered for sale this year is a marked de crease over that ' offered In past years and is accounted for by Mac Hoke, secretary of the Oregon Wool Growers' association, by the fact that many growers have al ready solid or consigned their clips or are not ready to sell. The highest price paid wos 19 cents, this figure being paid by the American Woolen company of Lowell, Mass., for 11,00 pounds of the Edwards clip.

Barber Criticizes Administration of Affairs of Lodge Sharp criticism for the autocra tic manner in which the affairs of the Neighbors of Woodcraft have been administered by Carrie C. Van Orsdell, grand guardian of the order, Is contained in a report based on a recent examination of the organization which has just been released by A. C. Barber, state insurance commissioner. The report declares that the con stitjutlon and by-laws of the or der are so drawn as to give the "rand (riindlan m n.,,.' i-it- Ity over the affairs of the order including uulii lOcul CU'v.m a rnui as the grand circle. Technically the order complies with the law as to a representative form of gov ernment but it does not appear to do so in practice, the report sets' out. "All of the regular and special committees are appointed by the grand guardian and the members of the committees on legislation and laws are members of the grand circle sessions," the . reports reads. "We are Informed that the amend ments to the constitution and by laws are prepared by the grand guardian and then presented to the committee on laws, approved and presented to the grand circle session. Expenditures from the general fund of the order have been out of proportion to the Income of the fund, the report states, adding that "apparently proper care has not been taken to keep the expenses of the general fund within th in come of the fund. The report declares that extra ordinary expenses were Incurred from the Woodcraft home fund and substantial expenditures In both time and money In efforts to have the laws In the different states repealed relative to the re quirements pertaining to the sol vency of fraternal orders without any favorable results. The man agement apparently Is opposed to the order taking action to comply with those laws, according to the report. In view of these conditions and the condition of unrest and dis sentton found in the order the ex aminers in their report recommend "that the constitution be revised to eliminate much of the arbitrary authority given to the grand guar dian and to provide for more in dependence of thought and action on the part of other officers and of the local lodges and individual members." The examination upon which report is based was conducted by Paul Woolston, consulting actuary representing Oregon. Washington, Montana and Colorado; H. O. Fish- back, Jr., examiner, and Geo. H. Tarbell, assistant examiner, for the state of Washington. Harding Makes Selection For 2 Federal Posts Washington, June 1. Michael J.

Canners Turn Cherry Crop Down. Report San Francisco, June 2. In the case of cherries, canners are pur suing the same policy as that fol lowed in dealing with strawberries asparagus and other seasonal field and orchard products when har vesting of these crops started. They refuse to do business. Cherry growers have been given no encouragement by the packers, and there is no wonder that they are anxious concerning the disposi tion of their fruit this year. In the interest of self-protection the cherry growers of the Sebasto pol district organized, paid a visit to the main office in San Fran cisco of one of the largest fruit packing corporations of the state, in the hope of arranging for the sale of the combined production of the Sebastopol orchardists. Maddox declared that the as sociation had for sale 20 tons of Tartarian cherries, 800 tons of Royal Annes and 50 tons of Roch forts, offered th entire lot ana requested the naming of a price. The answer to his proposition was that the packing corporation was not interested, and that no price would be named, In view of the fact that there exists a substan tial carry over of 1920 canned canned goods on which a great deal of money has been lost.
