OH $ , ' W4C p 0 A rollicking farce comedy, fresh from the bright lights of the Broad way Theatrical district, is the open ing night attraction on this year's Chautauqua. Kibitzer is a comedy in three acts, which was first produced at the Royal Theatre in New York City, February 2Sth, 1930. It was written by Jo Swerling and Edward G. Robinson. Mr. Robinson, who collaborated In the writing of the play, also portrays its leading part of "I. Lazarus," the "Kibitzer," a name contrived from uncertain Jewish derivatives to denote the sort of person who Is always full of bad advice, Garganatuan schemes and gorgeous visions that never mate rialize. It is difficult role to play without alienating sympathy, but Mr. Robinson does it excellently well. "Kibitzer" is Jewish for "butin- sky," and during the three acts ot the play the stock market is indis criminately mixed up with the problems of love's young dream and are thoroughly butted into, up set and trampled over by the lead ing character of the play. The first act of the story is laid in the cigar store of "Kibitzer, who is a Jewish would-be business man. He compels his daughter to wait on the customers while be gives advice on horse racing, stock market and other subjects. Rosy, the daughter, falls in love with a young soda fountain attendant, while her father wishes her tn mar ry the son of a wealthy society lady who has made money in the stock market. Rosy's lover loses his money on a horse race at the advice of Kibitzer, and Rosy al most decides to marry the rich young man rather than live a life of poverty. In the second act "Kibitzer" has a stroke of luck and wins a big block of steel stock, and the rest of the play is devoted to showing how the plot works out with every thing lovely and "everybody living happily ever after" at the finish. It is rollicking, happy go lucky, thoroughly modern in tone, and thoroughly clean and fine in char acter. It has been called the most up to the minute play of the Amer ican stage since it deals with the problems of the last twelve months as well as the eternal problem of romance. Since road shows have almost been eliminated throughout the country except on Chautauqua, it will be doubtless the finest oppor tunity of the year to see a thor oughly amusing New York hit put on in a thoroughly entertaining way. parents.

Clothes Mean Much to Small Child, Says OSC Clothes may or may not make the man, but they certainly have a lot to do with making or marring the disposition as well as the happi ness of the small child, says Mrs. Sarah Prentiss, professor of child development, Oregon State college. A child may be nervous or fidgety or extremely quiet and shy just be cause of the fit of his clothing, she points out Clothes that are too small are uncomfortable because they restrict the child's natural ac tivity, and those that are too large and feel as if they are falling off are a strain on the nerves. A sensitive child is often made shy and unhappy by the gibes and ridicule of playmates who are al ways quick to notice and laugh at the child who is odd in any way, in cluding dress, Mrs. Prentiss says. This problem Is especially serious, she explains, because the attitude may carry over and effect the child's future success and happi ness. Materials of gay but soft colors, with small, cheerful designs are rec ommended for children's clothes, because clothes of such materials make the child feel gay, Mrs. Pren tiss says, while dull or harsh colors are depressing to many children. It is well to avoid large or spotty prints, or plain colors that are too intense, as they tend to blot out the child's personality. Mothers own convenience and the safety of the child are other argu ments In favor of gay shades In play clothes. Bright colored outfits are more easily seen by the motor ist, and mothers who must do the housework and keep an eye on Johnny or Mary at the same time find that they cant get out of sight as quickly If dressed In pink, blue or yellow as they can If dressed In brown or some other dull shade.

Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Kathan of Riverton arrived In town Saturday and are the guests of Mrs. Kathan's Collins Reports Movement to Ori ent; Figures Include All Stores; More Sales in Prospect Spokane, Wash. The Pacific northwest's wheat carryover for 1931 will not exceed 18,000,000 bu shels and may be as low as 15,000, 000 bushels.. Last year the carryover totaled 25,000,000 bushels while the ten year average runs between 10,000,000 and 14,000,000 bushels. These figures are according to a statement by Henry W. Collins of Pendleton, Pacific Northwest manager of the Farmer's National Grain corporation of Chi cago, at a conference in Spokane, with C. E. Huff, president of the Farmers' National. "We have sold direct to the orient more than 1,000,000 bushels of wheat in the form of wheat in the last 10 days, while at the same time Pacific coast mills are continuing to send liberal shipments of flour to the or ient," said Mr. Collins. "We are working on some direct business with the orient now, and I am qulte hopeful of the outcome." Mr. Collins said his carryover es timate included wheat on the farm and in private hands as well as wheat controlled by farm board agencies. "We are moving 150 carloads of wheat a day out of the Inland Em pire to the coast right now. That is three trainloads a day, or more than 200,000 bushels. A month ago, we were moving only 75 to 80 car loads a day. "The interior warehouses are get ting in good shape for the new crop and while it may be a pretty broad statement to make publicly, I'll say right now that if any Interior ware house has any wheat belonging either to the Farmers National Grain corporation or the Grain Sta bilization corporation that it wants moved, we'll move It. We are pre pared to give shipping orders from time to time that will put all In terior houses in the clear for the new crop." POULTRY IMPORTS, STOCKS, REDUCED A 37 per cent decrease In the im ports of poultry products during the past year and much smaller stocks of poultry on hand in the United States are favorable signs for the poultry industry, reported L. R. Breithaupt, extension econo mist at Oregon State college, In his farm market news service issued May 16th. Imports of poultry, mostly dress ed turkeys from Argentina, fell off sharply in 1930, says the report. The total of poultry and poultry prod ucts imported was approximately 2,700,000 pounds, or 37 per cent less than in 1929. Furthermore, the cold storage holdings of turkeys In this country are now only about half as large as last year and the five-year average in May. "Stocks of other poultry are also much smaller than a year ago and well below average," Breithaupt says. "Holdings of case and frozen eggs combined are slightly less than a year ago, but above average. Egg production in April was quite a bit short of April 1930 but consumption also apparently ran behind. Farm flocks of old hens are now some what smaller than at this time in 1930, while the reported output of chicks from commercial hatcheries may be 35 per cent less than last year. Just how many chicks have been hatched on farms is not known. For Sale 15-foot Holt Bteel Com bine; has cut about 1000 acres; good condition and a bargain. See Frank Shlvely. 10-1 5p.
