He is best known as the author of 'General William Booth Enters Heaven,' 'The Congo' and 'John' ny Appleseed. He also wrote a highly comical piece called 'The Daniel Jazz.' He is a wonderful reciter, and is aided by a sonor ous, heaven reaching voice. All his poems are written to be read loud, chanted or declaimed; in Kme cases they are written to he danced also, and played as games When you have heard the poet you can well understand that he did not starve when he used to tramp in America and recite to the farmers for a meal and a night's lodging. He gained great popularity. "He is, however, ' something more than an entertainer. He has a spiritual message to the world, and is deeply in earnest. In a large experience of men and wo men in many countries, I have rarely met such a rebel against vulgarity, materialism, jand the modern artificial life. "Vachel Lindsay visited Eng land in 1920, and recited his poems at Oxford and Cambridge and to several groups of friends In London At Vachel's in vitation I visited him last sum mer, and we went to the Rockies, and tramped to Canada, and this volume is a record of our holi day.

Edited by MISS RUTH AUSTIN Phone 82 Hundreds View New -Residence There was almost a constant stream of friends coming and go ing at the handsome new resi dence of Professor and Mrs. T. S. Roberts on north Summer street, both Tuesday and Wednesday, eve nings of this week, the occasions being In the nature of informal open house. On the Initial night Klwanians and their ladies were bidden, the affair celebrating the first anni versary of the organization.

KIwanis emblems were much in evidence, and a happy Incident of the evening was the presentation of a large bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums by Kiwanians to the hosts. These were added . to the decorations of the rooms, which remained the same for both nights, and were comprised of vivid hued autumn leaves, marigolds and varl-colored chrys anthemums. Coming as an enjoyable sur prise was the radio numbers, re ceived from .the Salem Electric broadcasting station, put on by the KIwanis quartet composed of Henry Compton, Edwin Socolof sky, R. D. Barton and Harry Gwinn. . Wednesday night Professor and Mrs. Roberts extended a most gra cious welcome to their friends again arranging an informal musical program for their pleas ure.

The acoustics of their auditor ium are described by local musi cians, as being of particular ex cellence. Mrs. Hinges, in com menting upon the room, said: "Salem may well be proud to have in Its midst a home of such splendid equipment for musical affairs. It seems wonderful to me that someone has had the inge nuity and spirit of altruism to create such a place and open , It to his friends. Both vocal and in strumental music can be heard at its best there, and 1 dare say that not many private residences are equally equipped in any other city the size of Salem." Mrs. Ada V.

ONE BIG BARGAIN SENSATION AFTER ANOTHER nnive: LnJ .-.- -i Brings Forth a Hurricane of Values OPEN WATGH! FOR THE GREAT SALE OF Women's Most Wanted. Things (See Tomorrow's Statesman and Monday's Journal) IN THE MEANTIME The Greatest Sale of Ladies' Coats and Dresses Is Now On JUL JL. THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALES!, OSEGON ApolloGlub Delights Audience The Apollo club is like wine or that rare sort oi inuuu. that Improves with age. Six years ago, at its inception, we thought that we had a most creditable or- J ganization; and so we had. A year or two later the ciud naa doubled, then trebled in size, and in the quality of its work, and .we said: now It can be no Better. But we figured inaccurately, for the Apollo club has grown splen didly since that time,' until Salem now has a singing group of men that Is not only a credit to the city, but better still, a singing group that Is par excellent from an entertainment point of view. It has remained for Dr. John R. Sites to whip the club into its present splendid shape; has re mained for him to bring up its membership to over sixty voices, and this all in the space of two short years. Under his baton the club is capable of almost any thing. There were times last night at-the initial concert for this season, when those sixty voices slid down to Velvet pools of sound, and times when they swell ed to tremendous" volumes of melody that seemed to tax the capacity of the big auditorium of the armory. ; And how vividly were the pic tures that their music conjured. One did not have to tax one's Im agination greatly to visualize the tender eyed Senorita in the "Sere nade to Juanita," to see that lit tle brown road winding over the hill, and the quaint little cot by the sea, in "Smilin' Through" and in "The Spring Breeze," one saw, as well as felt that day "when all the smells are new and delightful. . . . .when, perhaps, a little rain falls, and all the trees and bushes and the mosses and the Juicy leaved plants wake with a noise of growing that you can almost hear." There were a 16t of other num bers that were favorites, "Now the Night in Starlit Splendor," written for six voices, and re-ar ranged so that sixty voices could ring out in all the glory of their rhythmic splendor. There was "My Heart is Thine," that was at onco lilting and musical,. with it lyrical refrain running through it. There were negro folk songs, and "The Hand Organ Man," a piece, that like all things su premely artistic, seemed the least difficult of all. but which, in truth, was one of the most diffi cult, a five part song, that took weeks and weeks of rehearsing to perfect. Closing, there was 'The Stars and Strines Forever," with its complement of martial figures and the presence of the stars and stripes themselves. LiKe au pro- 5th SALE TONIGHT grans, there was a divergence of opinion concerning the high lights, as personal tasts will dif fer, but all agreed that the con cert throughout was the best of the many fine ones that the Apol lo club has given. The club has ever been happy in Its selection of assistants, and last night was no exception, for in Reed Miller, New York tenor, as. fine an artist as could be se cured, was heard. In his opening numbers he completely captivat ed his andience, singing in Ital ian, in the true Italian manner. He sang with excellent expres sion and feeling throughout, and at times was highly dramatic. He was compelled to respond with a number of encores, among these contributions being, "Neapolitan Folk Song," "Recompense," by Hamilton, "The Lilac Tree," It's Heaven at the End of the Road," and by special request, the "Trumpeter Song," by'Dix. His accompanist, Stewart Wille, was an attraction in himself, giv ing the best of support at all times to Mr. Miller. Mr. Miller sang' with the club in one song, a number that was, of course, a great suceess. Of the clubs official accompan ist, Miss Ruth Bedford, too much cannot be said, for she is alert ness Itself, sensitive to every mood of both director and singers. She has been with the organiza tion a number of years now, and it Is not easy to believe that any one else could exactly fill her place. ; Thursday evening the" girl re serves of the Grant school, under the captaincy of Miss Jeannelle Vandevort, were entertained at a masquerade and potlatch supper at the Vandevort home. Those en joying the affair were, Thelma Hewitt, Mildred Graybill, Bernice Bunce, Dorothy Smith, Delphine Johns, Beverley Wygant, Bonny Schaefer, Willa Sampson, Alice Claxton, Vola Bailey, .Constance Smart, Frances Lees, Mildred Barber, Virginia Billings, Elsie Raymond and Meryl Kruetz.

Over thirty in all were in attendance at the ban quet which was served at the Argo hotel, and the business ses sion which followed later in the Parker-Schrode studio.
