O o o o o o PAdTC THREE SENIOR PLAY IS A TRIUMPH THE HIGH SCHOOL BefoVe a well filled house, the senior clnss of '25, under the direction of Mrs. Victor . Sether, t presented "All of a Sudden PecKy," at the Craterlan thea ter last night. The play, a three net comedy, was presented exceptionally well, . each member of the cast deserving special credit for the able manner in which each part was portrayed. . The story whiqh wna based upon "the suddenness of Pegpy," "the sud denness of Peggy's consequences." and "the consequences of Peggy's sudden ness," evolves around the plot of Mrs. O'Mara a widow of the late eminent professor, who made a study of trap door spiders, to wed her daughter, Peggy, to Anthony. Lord Cracken thorpe of the entomological society, who is quite interested in the study of spiders. But the mother rather than the daughter won the heart of Lord Crackenthorpe, while Peggy proceed ed to fall in love with his brother Jim my, the proceedings being very dis tasteful to the Crackenthorpe family, but finally result In, as Major Archie Fhipps, a brother of Lady Cracken thorpe, expresses It, "all for the good of the family.' At the end of the first' act, flowers were' presented to Eleanor Porter, as Lady Crackenthorpe, and to Dorothy Brown ns Peggy O'Mara. At the close of the second act, Mer vin Chastaln, president of the student body, made a short speech In which he stated that the production of "All of a Sudden Peggy," was the final achievement of a group of students who had vorked and played together through the four years of their high school careers, the achievement being due to the results of the assistance of people who were not afraid to work, as work was the essential element of It all. He especially praised the student body as a whole, the senior class for their loyal enthusiasm, the energies exerted by Aubrey Norrls, as business manager, which aroused such keen in terest and the artistry and untiring . efforts of Thomas Swem and the able assistance of Leland Menter and Har old Sander and the cooperation of Miss Elizabeth Core, who directed the musical program given by the h igh school orchestra. Finally, with a few words of appreciation for the untiring efforts and tho pleasing personality of the dramatic coach,. Mrs. Victor Seth er, he presented her with a basket of flowers In behalf of the senior class and the members of the cast. , .

Arrangements have been completed for the first world tour of the Green wlch Village Follies. For this world tour, the Bohemians, Inc., havo or ganized an entirely new revue which is a composite of the six editions of the "Greenwich Village Follies" and com bines tho most humorous, spectacular and sensational numbers of its entire repertory since ' its Inception at the Greenwich Village Theater in 1919. Heading this lavish production is the most talked of comic team in America, Gallagher and Shean, who will be seen here in person at the Hunt's Craterlan, Monday, May 4. The transcontinental tour Is now' In full swing. From the Pacific coast they will return through Canada, sail ing from Montreal direct to London; thence to the leading countries of the world. , American girls who wore eager to see tho world like their lucky broth ers, who for years have been able" to join the navy to satisfy their wander lust, havo beon signed for the world tour company. Since It is tho first time in history that America has been given an opportunity to .show tho world the beautiful wdnicn, only girls of decided American types were selected. MPORTANT PART OF U. S. FORESTS HERE Primarily the forests avo farms on which we are growing timber, but there 1h also secondary crop of for age which grows annually under the trfOR nnd in -the open pluoes. On some C0U.000 acres of the Crater Na tional forest ten thousand head of: sheep and thirteen thousand head of cattle are pastured during the sum-j mer. Most of this stock is wintered1 In Jackson county. This huge pasture is an integral part of the agricultural scheme of' the region. It supplements tho cul-! tlvated lands and fits nicely into the annual working plan of tho farmer who wishes high, cool pastures for hia stock during tho time of year when tho lower valleys are hot and the crops are growing. It is as necessary that this sum mer pasture be protected and per petuated as it is that the farms be kept at their highest point of pro ductivity. In fact, the foYest range should be considered as a part of tho farming lund, Tho first step in protecting the range is, of course, to so handle the stock on it that it will re-seed itself. This is done mainly by restricting tho number of stock and the seuson used. , A sufficient number of for age plants must be left each season to re-seed the area and if used too early tho forage stand is damaged by trampling when tho soil is wet. The greatest destructive agency of the forest range is fire. Fire not only . destroys the plants themselves, but also destroys the humus of soil fertility, thus making re-seeding a slow and difficult process. Another thing, after a fire the palatable for age plants are largely supplanted by unpalatable species. For example, a grass range severely burned will come in to weeds, or in many in stances to thick brush. Some of the unpatatnhle brush species sprout so vigorously after a fire that good range areas becomo impenetrable thickets. This succession of unde sirable plant species after a fire Ih easily demonstrated. When a pile of rubbish Is burned on a grass plot In variably the next season will find the spot marked by a rank growth of weeds. Every forest fire, therefore, not only results in tremendous damage to the timber stand, both present and future, hut .it also results In dam age to the 'pasture lands which are an- essentlnl part of the valley farms, The responsibility of - spreading the uosiiel of 'care with fire in tho for ests . rests squarely on everyone in terested in tho agricultural prosperity of the region.

O The Screen At tlw Uiulto. A man's picture i rare indeed, so when one like "The Devil's Cargo," playing today at the Klalto theater. comes along it is time for all he men to go to the movies and enjoy themselves. There Is action all the way through from tho moment the vigilantes de cided to load all the bad men and wo men of Saerametno on a river boat and deport them, until the few lone survivors are finally rescue by a New York bound windjammer, far out at sea. Wallace ueery, however, doesn't come on the scene until the river bout gets under way and then he fearfully pokes his head out of tho hold and the excitement begins. ... The members of the cast aro Pau line Starke, a pretty adventuress; Wit Ham Collier, Jr., the rather frail young hero.-and Claire Adams, Ray mond Hatton and George Cooper, all have good roles. With Alburtus. the man of mystery, as the added attroctlon to the excel lent picture program announced for the Rinlto tonight, It goes without asy- ing that standing room will be, at a premium. Telephone calls have been received from, nearby . communities asking for reservations for tonight. At tho CraU'rliui. Constance Talmudge, ns a Riuicy lit tle subdeb just out of boarding school, in her late comedy production. "Learn ing to Love," heads the big Hunt's Craterlan. bill beginning tomorrow matinee. It affords tho star unlim ited scope for the portrayal of those delightfully absurd sophistries of the younger generation which she inter prets bo well. "Ho Who Gets Slapped," closes at Hunt's Craterlan ' tonight. 'Tho story revolves about a clown known, as "He Who Gets Slapped." He Is not merely a pantomlrnlst, but a rnptd fire mono logue man such as wo have In our vau deville shows. Tho best clowns aro noted for their extemporaneous witl- clsms, songs, etc. but It's tho good old slap stick that counts. In the end for the laughs. "Tomorrow' Love," Klalto. "Tomorrow's Love." a matrimonlnl comedy-drama starring Agnes Ayres, comes to the Rinlto theater tomorrow matinee and night on the same bill with Alburtus. the Miracle Man. The picture is an adaptation of the Saturday Evening Post story, "Inter locutory," by Charles Brackett. Pftt O'Malley, has tho leading man's role opposite tho star. Others in the cast are Raymond Hatton, Ruby La fnyotte, Jane Winton, Dale Fuller and "Spec" O'Donnoll. W. R. Millard of Rogue River Is a Medford business visitor, who arrived Friday. MEMDERa MAKE BEST Tourists who are members of au tomobile clubs entire less confusion and traffic congestion In the city than the average motorist who Is not well posted on routes through or, around the congested points, in the j opinion of Secretary L. C Gar lock ' of the Oregon State .Motor assoda- tion, local branch. f all tourists were members of j their local clubs they would be less likely to start off on trips without! being well supplied with maps and touring informntlon, nnd the result would be seen in a decided simpli fication of local traffic, he said. This conclusion hits been reached also by tho secretaries of many other amomouiio c i u u r inrougiiout mc country ns a result of, an investiga tion made recently by the American I Automobile association, with which the recognized auto clubs of tho country are closely affiliated, Mr. Oarlock further pointed out In com menting upon the local situation. "Tourists who are club members seem to know in advance just where to find the hotels they havo decided upon," he cited as an Instance of the preparedness of the motorists wlfo co-opera to in tho interests of traffic and touring simplicity. "They do not hold up traffic to ask their way, nor do 'they take up unneces sary .parking space while 'looking over places to dino or lodge. "The club tourist Is quickly iden tified by traffic officers. They do not hold up traffic to gape at street signs nor expect special favors 'Just because they aro strangers.' The truth of tho matter is that they have been so well drilled In what to ex pect In the city they know their way about reasonably well before they ar rive." COMMUNITY HOSPITAL 843 E.
