Higher quality In amateur acting, brought about through friendly com petition, is the object of the exten sion service of Oregon State college lnsponsorlng the annual contests. This objective is being attained in Jackson county with satisfactory $ suits, the dramatic committee work ' lng this year under the splendid di rection of Angus Bowmer, director of dramatics at the Southern Oregon Normal. The following points are considered In Judging the plays: Setting, cos tuming and makeup, tableau, tempo and rhythm, reading of lines, personal acting (Including interpretation and sustaining of character), and reaction to other actors. With continuous practice since their Initial appearance In their home communities a few days ago, each of the productions last night showed marked Improvement. The Trail cairt. an I their directors, Minnie Blaess and Helen Hughes, are to be particularly commended on the superior acting of their 18 characters, set against a somewhat drab background of a de pot waiting-room. A speedy tempo was maintained throughout the scene. DuiJt around the humorous predica ment of a husband waiting at the station for an unknown cook. The part of the husband was played by M. E.

Mabel Rogsdale, - Sidney Hughes, and the following extras: Laura Bell LaDleu, Lena Zlmmerlee, Oeraldlno Scott, Wanda Howe, Lyal Tucker, Mr Jennie Hutchinson and Lawrence Watson. Eagle pointers Good. In contrast to this farce, the ghastly setting of "The Singapore Spider." by Eagle Point Grange, with its spectral blue light playing upon the tragic faces of Its five charac ters, as well as adding to the eerie aspect of the room, was equally ef fective. Murder for 17500, and con sequential death of the criminals who were bitten by the Singapore spider, comprised the plot of the play, staged In the living room of the embittered Captain Hcrrldew (Clarence Davles). Other members of the cast included Raymond Nengart, Al Mlttlesteadt and Cora Crandall. The fine acting In this play was directed by Chas. Praser. Considering that there were no un usual requirements in the Talent , Orange play. "Just Debts," In the way of makeup, costuming and stage setting, the excellence of their play depended principally upon the per sonal acting of the five characters The plain living room or a village residence constituted the setting, where the city council was In session- Their difficulty In making SCIENTIFIC REPORT FAVORS BRAN Relieves Common Constipa tion Safely Read this statement, taken from an article in the Journal of the Amoriran Dietetic Association, pages. 133-134, Nov., l'J32: "The inclusion in the diet of a mall portion of bran . . . would aeem a very practical way of get ting fiber which is not likely to be disintegrated.

Ye Poet's Cornei Preams While going through life we all have our dreams. Dreams that we wish would come true; And while we are dreaming, the clouds drift away, And tbe sklu are a glorious blue. I see a cozy white cottage at the end of a lane. With roses all around the door: A nest In the west with the one I love best. Who could ask for more? At eve when the toll of daytime Is o'er And twilight's shadows fall, We sit In the door of our cozy home. And listen to the mourning dove call. His song Is so sweet and low and sad, It sends a chill to my heart; It seems he Is wiling how I would feel It you and I should part. I listen to Its weeping, sorrowful song. And think it was a cruel fate. That a bird so loving and true as he Must forever mourn for his mate. And I clasp you tight In my arms, dear heart, And you shall never stray; For It would be the end of my dreams U you should drift away. But fate Is cruel to the best of us, Anri tiow I'm alone with my dreams. The hours drag on and the dove moums on Under the pale moonbeams. I sit In my lonely doorway and dream, Dream of my lost love. And It seems my heart echoes the cry Of the lonesome mourning dove. Mary Perry. Sams Valley. V.F.W. DURING DEFENSE WEEK In conjunction with National De fense week, Crater Lake post No. 1838.

Fess, announcing his opposition to Borah, declared the letter's nomina tion would "give new meaning to Smith's taking a walk.' He said his former colleague would go down to defeat In Ohio, but that he might get some delegates from the Cleveland, Akron, Youngstown area. Fess said he himself would work for an unlnstructed delegation to the national convention. Borah Is plan ning to campaign for pledged dele gates). "If you are going to vote for a New Dealer," said Fess in an Inter view, "why not vote for President Roosevelt? If the liability for the New Deal Is to be placed anywhere. let It be placed on the Democrats, not on the Republicans." Borah Policies Disliked He declared he personally admired Borah but was forced into conflict with him "because of his policies," "Whether the inflation ideas of Bo rah will be objectionable to labor Is to be seen. Ohio was not for free silver In 1890 and would not be for a free silver debauch today." Norrls voiced a sharp criticism of the present system 01 choslng post masters during senate consideration of the nomination of Mrs. Maude S. Yancey, Cody, Neb.

The publisher demanded stabiliza tion, with "a balanced budget" as the first step. He declared he did not know why the dollar was devalued to 58 cents, but said he favored leaving it there because "more tinkering now, whether up or down, wouio only cause fresh perturbations, new uncertain ties." To questions as to whether he would do battle with Borah for the Ohio delegates, he replied: "I am not going to Jump off the deep end. There will be no announcement to day." Sajs F. R. Vindictive Dickinson accused the president of "rlndlctlveness." At a Republican club dinner In Columbus, Ohio, he declared the New Deal displays "a fundamental Intolerance of spirit, a resentfulness of criticism, an Impa tience of opposition." Shou&e. lrader -of enemies of the New Deal, declared in a Chicago speech that the administration "faces almost certain defeat" In November. He said at least 3,000,000 Democrats would "take a walk" to support a Republican ticket. 'If the Roosevelt administration proposes to a tempt to change the con stitution of the United States, If It proposes to plow under the supreme court," he said, "it must present its proposition fairly, Because America will not again permit the attempt to accomplish such puropoae by deceit and subversion.
