of the Qrrntcr Mrtlfonl eluh nml nn
tier llio direction of Mr. Uowsc of
l.os Angles, well merited the njpre
cintivo amlicnrc.
This production i grcntly differ
ent from nnythiiij; heretofore under
taken by our homo intent, mid it
rendition indieated that our loeul nut
ftlrtnitft nrc tmly vercntile.
Thu text of Queen Esther is purely
fnrrcd, the stupe effect peetneulnr
nml tlio costumes mo-l effective. The
htnjc groupings of the dews and
Pen-inns were most Oriental, and
particularly lovely was the flower
chorus by tlio children, who adapted
themselves to the situations most
naturally.
The adult choruses, conijwsed
mostly of our younger set, were un
iisunlly piod, and the gestures onsj
and prnccful. Particularly com
mendable, is the work of committing
so long n score to memory in the
Miort time that they have been re
hearsing. The title juirt wns assumed by
.Miss ivn. UHlin, wuo lMwt-cssen n
mot pleasing lyric, soprano voice,
and who snnp in splendid form. Hct
personality was well suited to the
chn meter.
Kinp Ahnsucms wns acceptably re
ceived by Mr. Howsc, the director of
the production.
Miss Ethel Guthrie took the pnrl of
Zcrcsh. Sho shows much dramatTe
nbility and ships with nn understand
ing far beyond her years. Her dance
wns particularly prnccful ami plcns
inp. The pnrt of Monlceni, taken by
Mr. Fletcher Fish, wns sustained with
splendid understanding of the need
of the character, and topvthcr with
the mako-iip and his splendid robust
tenor, left but little (o be desired.
Herbert Alford, ns Hainan, the
king' counselor, fitted the part,
which ho enacted in a splendid man
lier and snnp in unusually pood voice.
Miss Icta C'hildurs pave her part
in
a most acceptable manner. She
has n sweet, miiicxiling soprano voice,
Mrs. Whipple, ns the prophetess,
acquitted herself very creditably.
Tho herald, scribes, princesses,
uuecn's attendants, etc., nro well
worthy of nolo nud enacted their
parts most acceptably.
This.spleudid entertainment will be
pivcn npain tonipht at the Pnpe the
ater. All who have not attended
should do so tonipht. Our younp
musicians deserve cncouropcmcnt for
their splendid efforts.

WASHINGTON, 1). l, May FJ.
Tho raising- of nngom pints in the
Foiled States is now a demonstrated
muh'css nccordinp to n rHil just
tiuhlished bv the Fuited Stales de
partment of aprieulture under the
title, "The Atipora ("oat." Farmers'
Hnlletin oT'l. Tho iudn-try. says the
bulletin, is indeed so well e-lnblishcd
hero that grower need not be incon
venienced by tho action of South Af
rica in prohibitinp the cxHirtution of
Angora, for the quantity of piod
blood in this country is already suf
ficient to meet all romiircmcnts. It
the opinion of experts the best Amer
ican fleeces now equal any prown in
South Africa or A-in Minor, the or-
iptul homo of the Anpora.
Mohair (tains In Vat no
It is Niyinp more ami more, for the
value of the fleece or mohair is in
crensinp steadily. Formcrlv the ue
of mohair depended so lnrgely upon
the prevnilinp fashion that its price
varied widely from year to year.
This condition, however, is rapidly
chanpinp ns new uses for mohair are
continually found, from automobile
tops and table covers to dress poods
and curled false hair, and today the
prower is assured of n reasonably
steady market. The price of course
varies with the quality, the very best
fleeces briupinp on nn nvcrage from
12 to ." cents a siund. The weight
of a fleece has a very wide raupc,
but in lnbl) the avernpe for Oregon
wns found to be 3.7 jwiunds, nud for
Texas l.So. On account of the
prcatcr bent, however, and the dam
ape of sheddiup, Anporns In the
southwest are frequently shorn twice
a year a fact which must be taken
into consideration in all calculations.
Two Clippings Drawback
Tlrs practice of clipping twice n
year is in many ways a dam hack to
the industry, since it lends to lower
the uvcrupe pradc of American mo
hair. Mohair as good as auv can be,
and is prown in this country, but tho
nvcrnpo quality is nut today consid
ered to be as pood ns the foreipn.
About '2,000,000 pdtiuds are unuually
imMrtcd Ordiunrilv this is blended
and spun with the domestic product.
Six inches is the shortest length of
fleeco usually desired, and because
of shearing twice u year, much Texas
and New Mexico mohair falls bcliw
this standard. Where the fleece is
nllowcd to grow for twelve mouths,
I he nverapo Icnpth is 10 inches, and
in the best flocks it is not unusual
to pet ." to 20 inches. Itomeo, the
sweepstakes buck at the r'l Paso
show in 1010, is nn example of what
is iosiblc. His fleece weighed 18
pounds, measured '2Q, inches in
Icnpth and sold for $115. Such
fleece is not of course the product
of ordinary commercial conditions.
It implies n considerable amount of
care and crsoiiul attention.
The birth late is approximately (si
per cent', but in well innnaped (locks
this bus risen on occasions as high
ns 120 per cent. Since the kills aru
not hardy, it is obvious that this
means skill nud industry diiriup the
breeding season. The beM met hods
of enriup for the flock nt this time
aro discussed in some detail in the
new bulletin. Otherwise the manage
ment of Angoras does not differ
greatly from that of sheep.

ion of Dr. Washincton Gladden of

dress made by the preacher and for
mer editor before hundreds 'of news,
paper men here today at the ualioual
newspaper conference conducted bv
tho University of Kansas.
Other speakers on today's program
were II. F. Harrington of the Ohio
Stale Journal, and Will Irwin, a
mapnr.iuo writer. A paper by Frank
It. Koyes of Washington. 1). C, pres
ident of the Associated Press, on
press association work, was read.
Deplores Vlcjous Tendency
Dr. (llaildcu declared what he re
ferred to as a tendency of some
newspapers toward ''habits of oxag
peratiou'' nud the exploitation of
crime, vice mid scandal, lie outlined
four great tasks for American jour
nalism in tho performance of which
he said it tn'ght nid in purifying and
invigorating public opinion.
First To tench people to avoid
exaggeration and violent speech and
to cultivate moderate and rational
modes of expression.
Second To resist the tendencies
which substitute the mob mind for
the deliberate habit.
Third To hold the ipular judg
ment firmly to the truth Mint charac
ter and manhood and not money and
IMipularity arc the central value of
human existence.
Discerning hc CJihhI
Fourth T- turn the thoughts of
men more and more from tho nega
tive virtue of detecting and oxiwwing
the evil to tho positive virtue of dis
cerning and praising the pood.
"I know o some newspaiiers,''
said Dr. Gladden, "that are doing
much to bring to earth a reign of
good will. They aro disposed to dis
ceni the pood ami rejoice in it; thev
cultivate gracious sneech and kindly
judgment of their fellow men. And
yet, I fear that it is true that in col
lecting mid presenting the news of
the day the habit which so largely
prevails of fixing the attention of
i'il of society, of keeping the seamy
side of lifo uppermost, of exploiting
crime and vice nud scandal, furn
ishes to quite too large nil extent the
common notion of the function of
journalism.

Dear Senater:
Referring to your letter of April
31, transmitting letters from Mr.
(Icorgo Putnam and others, also edi
torial from tho Mcdford Mali Tri
bune, relative to tho weather bureau
station nt Mcdford, Oregon, permit
mo to repeat tho anjiirnncoi given In
several previous communications on
this subject that the meteorological
work to bo dono In Mcdford In tho
future wl Ik fully equal to that per
formed In tho past, which wo under
stand has been of great vnluo to tho
horticulturists In that region and
fully met all their requirements.
The resignation of Mr. O'Onrn ns
pathologist nt Mcdford will not mnko
any material ehnngc. In the torvlro
rendered by the weather bureau nt
that plnco In tho future, nud It Is
thought that unnecessary npprohen
slon has been felt because tho weath
er bureau contemplated (ho removal
from Mcdford of a few unnecessary
Instruments. Stops havo already
been tnken to continue the usa of tho
barometer nml wlndvauo which It was
expected nt one time to romovo, nt
thuugh these arc of only the flight
est Importance in connection with
the frost-warning service.
It Is hoped that when tho local In
terests rutty uuucrstaiid tlio ar
rangements that have been made by
tho weather bureau Tor furnishing
them with forecasts and frost warn
ings they will be entirely satisfied
therewith.
Very respectfully,
D. F. HOUSTON.

The many lestiinoaiul letters that we nro continually pub

ine, true and unsolicited expressions of heartfelt gratitude
for the freedom from suffering that has come to these
women solely through the use of Lydln O. Plnkham's
Vegetable Compound.
Money could not buy nor any kind of influence obtain
such recommendations; you may depend upon it that any
testimonial ve publish is honest nud true if you have any
doubt of this write to the women whose true names and

Read this one from Aim. Waters: ,

Now answer this question if you can. Why should a
