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. , .

VILLAGE FOLLIES
TO.
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.

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."
