THE PROTECTION OE ORCHARD BY SMUDGING
By P. J. O'Gara, Scientific Assistant, Frult-Dlscaso
Bureau of Plant Industry.
Invcstlflntlons,
Playgoers of this city nre to Imvo
an opportunity of seeing that gift
ed comedienne, Henrietta Crosuian,
in her latest cometdy success, "Anti
Matrimony," when she fills her en
gagement of one performance,
Wednesday evening, July 13, at the
Medford Theatre.
This play, from the pen of. Percy
MacKaye, proves to be the best ve
hicle Hiss Crosman has pver had.
Although this famous star has never
fccfore appeared in this city, her rep
station has preceded her, and local
play goers are anticipating a treat.
The play, "Anti-Matrimony," has
scored something of a unique sensa
tion. It is an unusual play in many
ways. Written by that brilliant dra
matist and poet, Percy MncKaye.
-who has contributed such gems to
tho dramatic literature of America
as "Jean of Arc," "Sapho and
Paaon," "Mater" and others, it be
comes evident that "Anti-Matrimony"
would possess more real merit than
any ordinary comedy. But its lit
erary quuhty is only an incident.
Mr. MncKaye has descended from
the lofty pinnacle on which ho has
formerly labored and turned his
genius to the creation of the Great
American comedy and from all ac
counts he has succeeded. It is not
unusual for Miss Crosman to evoke
laughter, but this play has met withj
everywhere. It is so thoroughly
American, so thoroughly modern, so
full of keen satire and wholesome
truths, and withal so fanny, that
it is indeed worthy of the skill nud
experience of this charming actress.
In "Anti-Matrimony" Miss Cros
man appears as the merry-hearted
whole-souled wifo of n young New
England minister. Morris and Isa
bella his brother and her sister, re
turn from several years in Europe,
with their baby-daughter, and as
tonish the family with tho announce
ment that they are not married and
that they propose to convert the
people of their native village to the
ultra-modern doctrine of "Anti-Matrimony"
or free love. Tho minister's
wife, realizing that open opposition
to tho views of tho "emancipated"
couple would only strengthen their
position, determines to teach them a
lesson by strategy, and thus pretends
to becoino converted to their doc
trines. With native Yankee humor
sho succeeds in entangling the pair
in some ludicrous situations and fi
nally convinces them to the utter ab
surdity of their "ideal" and bring
them back to the path of common
sense and convention.
Miss Crosman has the support of
n splendid company, prominent
members of which are Herbert For-
tior, Gordon Johnstone, Grace Cnr-

SALEM MOVES TO BUY
MUNICIPAL WATER PLANT
SALEM, Or., July 8. At a moot
ing of the Salem city council last
night an ordinance was passed amend
ing tho city chartor In such a manner
as to cnablo the council to purchaso
tho water plant now owned by tho
Salem company and extend tho water
mains throujjhout tho city at a cost
of $4,000,000. This charter amend
ment will bo voted upon by tho peo
ple at a special election to bo hold
August 15.
In giving out weather warnings,
It Is quite locospary and Impoitaut
that thoro ehnuld be good rural tot

ten change so rapidly that warnings
may havo to bo modified oven during
the course of an afternoon or even

While all tho growers who
mnudged did not havo a telephone of
their own, appointments woro inndo
whereby Bovornl of them might got
tho woathor roporta from tho neigh

In tho woik was probably was from
10 to 12 miles each way from tho city
of Medford. In two or three Instances
by request, telephone messages woro
sent to n distance of 30 miles. In
giving out tho warning it was usual
to Indlcnto as nearly nB possible tho

This was Important to thoso who did
not havo frost alarms. Uy using nn or

Tho frost alarm is nothing more
than a themomcter that can bo sot to

thoso who havo need for smudging,
to havo ono, slnco It ofton caves a
