A Chance for Students Here is a chnncc for bright students in the public schools of the state and the universities, too, to make Dome money. The Portland Ad Club has decided to start a big campaign to advertise the loganberry and create new mar kets for this important Oregon in dustry. As the first step in the cam paign it has put up $250 in prizes for the students who submit the best songs on the subject of loganberry juice. The contest starts right awny, mid will continue until the night of October HI. That gives contestants n full month in which to whet their wits, search the rhyming dictionaries, and send in their songs. The best song sent to the Portland Ad Club, Multnomah Hotel Portland, Ore., care of the song committee, by the night of October 31, will win the first prize of $125. The next best song will take a prize of $75. Anil the third bust will win $50. That should be wortli the time of any boy or girl, or young man or woman, to try for. Tho Ad Club intends to have the" best song adopted as an official song for the public schools of the state. The prize-winning composition will be published and distributed in schnolr with the pictures of tho song authors printed on them. Of course it won't bo necessary for contestants to compose tho music for their songs. Tho words and verses and swinging chorus aro what the Ad Clul) wants. Tho young authors may desigiinto tho tune, to which their songs are adopted. A committee of five of tho leading educators of the stnto will pass on the merits of tho songs. This committee will meet, in the club rooms, of tho Chamber of Commerce shortly after tile close of the contest, on n dato that will be announced in tho papers later. The committee will listen to tho songs which will he sung by singers select ed by tho contestants, or by singers engaged for tho evening. One of the big objects of this con test is to awaken genernl interest in a campaign to get commercial organ izntious of tho slate to pay more at tention to tho development of Orcgons agricultural and horticultural pro ducts. At Its regular luncheon last Wed nesday members of tho Ad Clul) enter tained berry growers, fruit oniicry inen and loganberry juice manufactur ers of tho Willametto Valley, and learned something about the great possibilities of the industry as a busi ness asset for tho state. To map out a state-wide advertis ing campaign with a view to advanc ing this industry and creating extens ive markets for fresh, dried and cann ed berries, and for loganberry juice, a special committee was appointed, con sisting of George IS. Wnggoner, real ty dealer, chairman; David N.

H. P. Hill, sales manager of the Northwestern Electric Company. They decided that the song contest among students of the public school and universities for the cash prizes named would be a 'good way to start things off. They also have other dis tinctive plans for advertising in view, which they believe will attract atten tion to Oregon -berries and logan-bcr-ry juice through the whole United States. "The Willametto Valley has as fine agricultural soil as there is in the world," said Mr. Waggoner last night. "The trouble at present is that too much of the farming is conducted in a desultory way. The only general market is for dairy products. "Now there ought to bejust as good a market and just ns big a market for the state's agricultural and horticul tural products. ' THIS COMMANDING OFFICER," A STRONG GRIPPING PHOTO PLAY FEATURE. T' o.lore Hurt Sayie'? stirring military romance. "Tho Commanding Officer," lias at last found iU way to the screen, in the manner that so many other celebrated drammie suc cesses have, through tho four- art adaptation of this powerful drama is the latest release on the Paramount Program. So well known is this play as not to require a detailed descrip tion hut it must bo stated that in the film version tho novel and striking Mtuations of the original play have been amplified and multiplied. Seldom do screen dramas possess such an appealing plot, such uniformly good acting, ouch capablo direction, appropriate settings and variety of .ippenl. The tenseness of the f.tory Joes not subside until the very imal flash, and the various liaratteriza lions are so well blended into n unit of action that never is ihe spectator 'onfuscd or distracted from the main clement of tho plot even momentarily, Alice Dovey, one of the most popu lar of the younger actresses A the day portrays tho role of the commanding officer's wife, about whom the action ontrcs and through whoso innocent .icapade the commanding officer is inspected of murder, with infinite i.iiarm and grace. Marshall Neilan portrays the character of the villain Lieut. Waring, and while he natural ly does not succeed in gaining any sympathy for the man he makes htm ns forcible ns such an individual could bo dra .711. Donald Crisp plays with dignity the part of Col. Archer. He is strong and convincing. He plays with evident sinccry and at all times holds the sympathies of (ho audience The rest of the cast, including Olive .Johnson, ISthel Philips, Russell Las sett and Jack Pickford, ;;ive n.ert, ilian adequate representations of the character they portray. Miss Dovey throughout is. charmingly effective, md plays up to tho climax with the dramatic skill of a finished artist. The action lias the rapidity, rhythm mil the crispness of a Maxim ,'tin. We have had none too much of this typo of photoplay. "The Commanding Officer" will command tho interest of audiences wherever shown.

As n proof that the world "do move it may lie cited that the principle of rural credits as advocated by Con gressman Hawley in his recent visit to this city would have been consider ed populistic twenty years ago.

Why make a fuss over a ie'dge of rock at the entrance to the river when it is not there. Wm. Mast says he has gone all over the bottom of the river between tho jetties and there is no ledge there. In his capacity as a div er ho spent one summer working for the government and has examined tho bar and mouth of the, river from the bottom and says there is no ledge in it. There arc pinaclo rocks scat tered along its course from Hreuer's dock to the ocean. These hnve been blasted off to a considerable degree and Diver Mast says they are aot such as to seriously interfere with commerce. He thinks if the gaps in tho jetty were closed up and the jetty extended there would be no trouble about a proper channel.
