unt easily gulled into taking lor grant
ed evey Jim Orow attraction that;
took a notion to play there.
Such places usually prove to be the
very best J 'show towns" when yon
offer them "the goods."
Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation"
has the indisputcd "goods", both in
a visual and a musical way, anil it has
the boni fide reputation, too the
greatest and most enviable of any
amusement offering in the world to
day. It is one of the "ironies of fate"
that this superb and widely discussed
attraction proves every town it strikes
a first class "show town."
The city of Milwaukee, for instance,
had just lately been considered a
"week stand" for the customary dra
matic and musical organizations trav
eling, vet Griffith's production played
there at the leading opera house to ca
pacity business, night and day, for
two solid mouths, and in the heated
table that the poorest weeks' business
of the entire engagement was the first
week, which proves that, while people
were slow to take hold until they were
convinced it was all it was expected to
be, they flocked there alter tliev heard
on all sides "(io and see it." "Jt is
the greatest thing you ever saw."
Perhaps the Milwaukee engagement
more than any other first proved how
near to the hearts arid sympathies of
the great American people tne Uritlith
production has gotten.

Reports from Department
Heads and Secretary Show
Good Financial Condition
For the first time since the organi
zation of tho Commercial club, tho re
port of managers at the monthly moet
ing last night showed that the club
was out of debt. Moreover, the club
is not only out of debt, but the report
gave a balance of actual cash on hand
of $l02.o8, with an additional fund
of M"2.2(l in bank drawing 4 per cent,
as a reserve fund. "And believe me,"
said Joseph Albert, president of the
club, "we intend to keep out of
debt."
A pleasing bit of financial news giv
en in the report of Benjamin Krick,
director of the tourist and publicity
department, was the statement that
tiio Cherry fair onlv cost the Commer
cial club !r293.42. "Although the club
had voted the sum of $r00 for tho fair,
the receipts from the queen contest,
concessions, and dunce at tho armory,!
mane it necessary to use only
of the fund.
Along with other cheering financinl
news came tho report of manager Mn
Daniel, showing that for tho month
ending July , the entire overhead ex
pense of tho club was $350,19, and
amount $119.50 under the budget al
lowance. Outside High School Pupils
T. A. Churchill, state superintend
ent of public instruction, made his
first appearance at the club, and in a
short address explained why, in esti
mating the cost of educating a pupil,
his rulings were in favor of figuring
m only salaries, janitor expense, sup
plies, light, fuel and insurance, along
with other small items. President Al
bert wanted to know whether in figur
ing the cost, tne investment, interest
Ion bonds and depreciation should not
Ibe takeu into consideration. Mr.
Churchill believed it was school prac
tice not to figure the amount the dis
trict had invested, -when getting at the
cost of education. Just at present,
Mr. Churchill is taking a stand op
posed to the Salem board of education
as to what should be included in figur
ing the cost of educating a pupil of
the high school grades. From the view
point of the school' board, in figuring
the cost of doing business, tho invest
ment should be considered.
Benefits of Camp Ground
F. B. Soiithwiek, director of the civ
ic department, reported thnt the swim
ming beach and the camping grounds
at the fnir grounds were occupying the
attention of his department. Me be
lieved the grounds were now a great
benefit to Salem as they were placed
in shape for campers with water, wood,
electric, lights and all that was needed
was publicity. It was estimated that
during June, campers spent at least
$1000 with Salem merchants.
Fred E. Mnugis of the civic depart
ment' reported everything moving a
long in fine shape for the public bath
ing beach, and that Friday afternoon
all members of the club were invited
to bring a shovel or rake and take part
in the clean up, beginning at 4 o'clock
The beach will be free for children, but
the grown ups will bo asked to pay
five cents, with another five for those
who wish to check their clothing.
Other Bureau Reports
D. I. Howard, director of the social
department reported his monthly ex
penses had been less than usual, and
that the attendance had been growing.
Be had several plans which would he
