FUTURE OF NEW CANNERY

m Wtty ito'"the 'resicubj' 1
On Saturday of last week Mr. .1
B. dinger, the local field man of the
Linn and Renton Fruit Growers As
sociation, completed hi canvass of the
fruit growers.
He stated that a large acreage oi
strawberries. Mack raspberries and
phcnominal berries will be set out this
fall and next spring.
Owing to the hiteness of the icj
son, not much fruit was set out this
spring. The usual way of starting
a cannery in a community is to erect
a building and buy a lot of expensive
machinery, and then to endeavor to
get the gTowers to raise the fruit.
Mr. Patilhamus insist that the fruit
mu!t be set out first and contracts
signed that the berries will be de
livered to the cannery project
successfully undertaken.
The local asiociation will take care
of all the fruit that they have con
tracted for for this seaton, including
the green beans for canning.
Mr. W. A. Eastburn is secretary
of the local organization, and any one
who has fruit or beans that they have
contracted for with the association
should see him and make arrange
ments to have it taken care of.

FANNIE WARD HERE
IN NEW PLAY TONIGHT
fnm Bttjr te th RtMctM", at Dm GUIm tonight
Having scored such a pronounced
success in "Witchcraft" and "The
Years of the Locust." Fannie Ward,
the veriatile Itsky star, will be seen
tonight in "cBtty To The Rescue," at
the Globe theatre.
In "Betty to the Rescue" Miss Ward
has a play for which she is especial
ly adapted, anil ss-hich is unlike any
thing in which she has ever appeared
for the l.asky organization. Tnstearl
of the beautiful society matron as
she was seen in "The Years of the
Locust," the captivating star is now a
romping, hoydenish tomboy with
tousled hair, bare feet and it clad fre
quently in a dilapidated pair of overall.
While the general canvas for fund
for the Red pros wa begun in the
county at large this morning, the or
ganization in Albany was not quite
ready and the start will not be made
until tomorrow. But it will go like
a flash when once under way and a
wave of coin will aweep into the cof
fer! of the local campaign committee.
Fred Dawson, who has charge of
the work in Albany, has called a
meeting of all his assistants in Al
bany to be held tonight at 7:30
o'clock-, in the Commercial Crab
rooms. Final instruction! will be giv
en and the start will be made in
earncit Tuesday morning. Receipt
books and subscription cards will be
given out at the meeting.
Yesterday talks were made at sev
eral of the churches. Fred Dawson
addresied the Christian church and
W. A. Eattburn the Baptist in the
morning. In the evenin? Dr. C. E.
Gibson spoke to his congregation at
the Methodist. E. D. Cusick was at
the Presbyterian, and other ctinrch-
s heard of the work.
The largest crowd addressed yes
terday was at the Globe theatre
where Fred Dawson appeared in a
box between act! and told of the
work of the Red Cross to the packed
house. He compeltely won the audi
ence and received an ovation equal to
any of the acts.
So person in Albany, Linn coun
ty, or any place in Oregon or the
nation will be overlooked in thi
drive for funds which starts today and
will last a week. Everyone will have
an opportunity to give and each one
should have the amount decided upon
when the committee arrives.
Many wonder what thev -ould give.
Ten per cent of one's salary or wag
es for a month would not be a bad
way to figure. Mr. Dawson expect
to get at least $5 from each of the
thousand families in Albany, which
mean! that the average person mutt
trive about $10. the poorer working
man $5, those who can give a little
more, $15, and those who can afford
it from $25 up. There should be
many $10TI subscriptions in ATrir.r.v.
The subscription! are not all f ay
able at once. They may be paid in
'our equal parts on the first of Julv,
August and September, with the Hrst
payment at the time of giving the
si bscription. If one desires $1 can
be used to pay for a membership in
the National Red Cross, for this con
tribution it an emergency fund and
not in the retrular Red Cross mem
bersbip assessment.
Every dollar given may save a life
on the battlefield, in a flood, storm or
some other disaster. It it as neeess
ary as money for ammunition. And
one thing about it, every nationality
neutrals, bcligvrants an dall, en
subscribe, for the Red Cross is inter

wounded and unfortunate people
wherever they are found.
