All of the additions have been an nounced within the month, and will be pressed to completion in time for the initial movement of the 1931 wheat crop. The Santa Ft- railroad has an nounced it would a id 4,000,000 bush els of bin space to its present ele vators of 6,250,000 bushels capacity. This will provide the largest single elevator in the world. Work began Immediately on the expansion which will cost approximately $750,000. The Wabash railroad Is planning to add 1.000,000 bushels storage room t3 it 3,100,000-bushcl elevator In North Kansas City. The Mlssourl-Kansas-Tcxas Is ad ding 1,000,000 bushels to its bins.

Indian Lore and Legend Presented In Pageantry At M'Minnville 2 Days McMinnvillc Col. J. C. Cooper, author of the book, "Rod Pioneer", which will be presented in pageant form in McMinnvillc May 25 and 26, enjoys probably as much knowl edge of Indian lore and legend of the northwest as any living ore- gonian. Coming west with Mrs. Cooper, he was with a party that passed the Sitting Bull country ten years be fore Custer made his famous stand. The contacts he established with the Indians on this trip, along with the associations and friendships he has gained during the more than 60 years he has lived in Oregon, has provided Colonel Cooper with a great fund of knowledge from which he has drawn to write the book, ' Red Pioneers." In the early days of Oregon, he made it a point to mingle with the redskins and to know them. Their affairs and problems became his personal affairs and problems, and he has probably as wide a circle o! friends among Indians in the north west as any single person. He head ed a delegation which went before President McKinley asking Indian war veterans' pensions, and wrote the bill for that purpose, which was later passed by congress. George H. Himes, curator of the Oregon Historical society, after reading the outline of Col. Coopefi "Red Pioneers," several years ago, ardently urged the colonel to pub-1 lish the book, and declared he would aid in its publication. Colonel Cooper, a veteran of the Civil war, is one of the five surviv ing members ot the McMlnnville O. A. R. post, which once boasted a membership of about 200. He and Mrs. Cooper celebrated their 62nd wedding anniersary not long ago, and they have spent more than 'three score years of their life In Oregon, 54 of which have been In McMlnnville. Invitations have been sent to Gov ernor Meier and to Will Rogers, nationally-known humorist who Is of Indian parentage, to attend the pre sentation of "Red Pioneers'' here next week. However, with apologies, both declined, although it is expect ed that a representative of the gov ernor will be here.

England contributes the Belmont family of daring and sensational equestrians in a demonstration of the latest and most artistic feats of bareback riding. The Great Gretona troupe, who hail from the Imperial Wintergar den in Berlin, Germany, intrepid performers on a slender wire high up in the dome of the "big top""will thrill you with an act that lias made two continents gasp. Alex Acevedo, Mexico's foremost dancing, tumbling, somersaulting acrobat, Is a daring newcomer; a champion In his clas.

GOOD MORNING, f-NO. MRS. 6REEN.00IN6 SHOPPING?. NEXT WASHDAY RINSO . LAST WEEK AMOS 'N' ANDY LIVE PARTS IN RADIO PROGRAM Chicago--tP) Amos 'n' Andy lire the characters they portray. Tlie comedians who for more than five years have maintained popular interest through nearly a thousand sketches actually are, for certain times each day, the persons the changing voices call Into existence. For example, when Ainos switches and becomes Brother Crawford, he bounces up and down in his chair. Andy before the microphone is real ly Andy. The minute that voice starts, thumbs go Into the button (holes of the vest and the chest Is nrown out. Their contracts bear the signa tures of Freeman Gosden as Amos and Charles J. Correll as Andy. The bovs never use assistants de spite the many roles they do. There are the parts Amos takes, includ ing the breach of promise trial that concluded In victory for Andy: The Klngfish, Brother Crawford, Llght uln, the Judge, Smith the prosecu tor, and Madame Queen. Andy is the landlord, the police man, the salesman and other occa sional characters, besides taking the part of Lawyer Collins and the bailiff In the trial. Thus Andy was his own attorney. Supersensitive to the presence of other when they are broadcast ing, Amos 'n' Andy never permit any one In their 12-by-12-foot win don less studio. The only person who sees them In action is the con trol operator. Not even M. H. Ayleswortn, pres ident of the National Broadcasting company and their "boss," has seen tnem broadcast. Nor tneir wives, for that matter. However, here's how they do the Job: Each sits at the near corner or a small table containing two micro phones, one for emergencies. When Andv comes to voice, cor- rell's lips are within two Inches of the microphone. Amos generally stays two feet away, except when he portrays another character. Then he leans back In his chair, or even leaps to his feet. The principal sound effect is a telephone bell. Sunday is their day of rest, but on week days the comedians work hard. Out of bed around u I thev bo to their office and devote- the time until noon to their mail. Then comes the Job of writing their sketch. Andy Is the typist. He uses lie touch system and Is a speeder. Each script is four pages long. No one assists them in the writing, which continues until 3 or 4. After that there is a recreation period, and at 5:30 central time the two are at WMAQ, Chicago, In plenty of time for their appearance at 6 oclock. There Is no rehearsal. Five min utes before the ro hour, they take a glance through the days script. Just as the theme song is about to end, they enter their studio. The announcer. Bill Hay, Is In another room with the musicians. Meanwhile he has been given the opening and closing Introductions for the sketch, which also are writ ten by Amos "n" Andy. Credit an nouncements are handled through a different source. While Hay's voice has become as familiar as those of Amos 'n' Andy, he has no other part in the con duct of the program.

'Of course, I also mean to visit my parents and relatives," he added. The wine cache, Prandl re vealed. Is in a wooded section In the providence of Sondorla. FOREIGN LEGION RECRUITS GROW Paris (IP) There la such a rush of recruits to Join the French For eign Legion that the war ministry has decided to reorganize and en large its regiments and for that pur pose has increased the rank of its commander, Colonel Rollet to gen eral, at the same time setting a limit on recruiting. The Legion, which observed Its 100th anniversary a few weeks ago, has been stormed by increasing numbers of Germans, Poles, Czechs and Russians since the economic de pression swept the continent. Ger mans now predominate, despite the efforts of the Berlin government to end German recruiting In the Le gion. Officials at the Qual d Orsay ex plained that there would be no reply to German suggestions that the Le gion be closed to German volunteers. It was pointed out that the Legion offers refuge to men ot all nation alities, who accept an engagement for seven years and that Germans who appear at Stdi-Bel-Abbes would be enlisted In proportion to the ranks vacant. By action of the war ministry, the Legion Is now limited to four regi ments of infantry and one regiment of cavalry. All the regimental head quarters have been moved to Sldl-bel-Abbes, where all recruits will be trained and then sent to the out posts of French penetration. Gen eral Rollet will assume command of the entire Legion. BOUNTY ON MAGPIES Greeley, Colo., (IPi Magpies may be worth 10 cents each In Weld county this year.

Dr. Leroy Conel, professor of an atomy at B. U. school of medicine, spent every day of last summer col lecting the eggs by trawling with 1,200 hooks about two miles off the coast of Monterey, Cal. The eggs with their embryos rep resent the lowest living vertebrates in tlie evolution of the human brain, says Dr. ConeL The collection is the only one oi Its kind In existence and is In great er numbers than have ever been found before. The only other collec tion of this sort was In the poses - sion of the late Dr. Bashford Dean. curator of fishes In the Natural nis torv museums. New York City. Dr. Dean was presented with the collec tion by a Chinese Ilsnerman an years ago. The fisherman refused to tell ho or where he collected the eggs and on his death his secret perished. Dr. Conel has devised a fishing system of his own. He plans to go to Nora Scotia in June to searcn rur the eggs of Myxlne, the bdellostona's first cousin. Within the last year the purchas ing price of tlie Shanghai dollar has dropped over 40 per cent.
