day exortcd the people to stand firm

- Russians Fall Back,

pressure we retired two-thirds of a mile

ELKS WILL STAGE PLAY
'Get-Rich-Qiiick WaHrngforf
To Be Presented by
Local Talent
A" few years ago the Saturday Even
ing' Post announced to the world
brand new American author, who had
created a brand new ennracter in Am
erican fiction. The author's name was
George Randolph Chester and the name
of his new character creation was J.
Rnfus Wallingt'ord. or, as he was cull
ed in the title, "Get Rich Quick Wal
lingford." Never in all the history of
English literature has a writer so sud
denly risen to fame; never before has
there been such a demand for a writ
er's product. The " Wullingford" stor
ies became the most widely read fic
tion in the world, and the magazine
that published the " Wallingford "
stories began to doubje and treble its
circulation. The "Wallingford" eraze
has never let up, nnd today an. an
nouncement that a periodical contains
.1 new adventure of "Get Rich Quick
Wallingford" means that the edition
will be sold out as soon as it reaches
the news stands.
. It was not to be expected, of course,
that "Get Rich Quick Wallingford"
should escape the stage and it cer
tainly didn't. When Mr. Chester de
cided to have "Wallingford" made in
to a play he was beseiged by au army
of noted dramatists who were anxious
to undertake the job. He finally se
lected George M. Cohan, the most ver
satile of all American playwrights, and
the onlv theatrical manager in the
world who has never produced a fail
ure. Cohan worked on the play tor
more than a year in collaboration with
Chester, and the result was tho four
act comedy which broke all previous
New Vork records, and which (leorrc
M. Cohan regards as his greatest dra
matic achievement. The Broadway
stage held "Get Rich Quick Walling
ford" for a two years run, five road
companies carried it 's hilarious laugh
ter in the "provinces," and now ev
ery stock company in America pro
duces it as the "big feature" of the
year, as regulnrly as the theatrical
season rolls around.
And this is by way of stating that
on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings,
April 3 and 4, Salem lodge,' Xo. .'136 B.
P. O. Elks, will produce "Get Rich
Quick Wallingford" at the Grand the
atre, with au all star cast of local tal
ent. The play will be staged by spe
cial permission' of Cohan nnd Harris,
under the direction of James Mott, pro
ducer of "The Dictator," "The For
tune Hunter," and, other Ureal success
es, and will be the nrsf amateur pre
sentation of "Get Rich Quick Walling
ford" on any-stage.

ASSAILS THE XAISEB.
.
" Amsterdam, Mar, 24. Thursi-
day's drbnte in the German
rci.hstne wis - featured by a
bitter 'attack- on Kaiser Wil- .
helm and Chancellor Von Beth- .
man-Hotlweg as "those who or-
iginated the .war" and a o-
cialist demonstration lauding
Russia's throwing off of the
yoke of autocracy, according to
word received here today.
. The socialist member, Kun-.
ert. was; tho accuser of - the
kaiser and his chief minister,
He arose- and characterised
thera a "originators of the
war." .
The president of the reich-
stag immediately called Kuuert,
to order. Kunert resumed more
moderately, but finally alluded
unmistakably to Russia's re-
cent revolution.
"You insult the fatherland"
interjected Vice Chancellor
Helfferich, according to the
Berlin information.
"I should be proud if them
was such progress in our couu-
try as the Russian people have
made," Kuuert responded.
THE MARKETS
The following price for ffuita
and vegetables are those asked by
the wholesaler of the retailer, anjl
not what is paid to the producer.
All other prices are those paid the
pioducer. Corrections are made
daily.
Everything is quiet today in the
markets.
The feed market , continues to hold
strong, largely due not to the local de
mand but to that from California.'
Eggs are generally quoted cash at
23 cents although some stores have
been willing today to pay one cent
more, although the Portland market
justified about 231-i! cents as the top.

Even for the Croesus who owns a full

Lenten leanings toward less ornate

Baskets Are Gaudy.
Sho carries her sewing in a round

of rainbow hue and ornate with fruits
and flowers of eotton stuffed silK or

barbaric dye or of black and gold or

Giddy Clothes Baskets.
Even the soiled linen hamper be
comes a thing of beauty and a joy for
ever when it is all slicked up with a
coat of white or ivory enamel, with
offtimes a garland of carved and en
amelled rosobuds adorning its lid or
satin bows fussing up ts bandies. In
triangular shape, so they can fit easily
into coiners, these baskets enamelled in
tints to carry out the pervading color
scheme of the room are preferable in
convenience and sanitation to even the
most artistic laundry bags" in guest
rooms, the nursery and all bed cham
bers. Huge basket jardiniers of
Bronze toned Chinese hamboe for the
potted palm or captive rubber plant
are stunning enough to be in great de
mand evlen outside of Brooklyn.
Then there are the light and handy
trays of basket weave plain or decor
ated, with a stencil or bright color
which am not sure ought to come un-(
dcr the basket head, but nt least the
basket for tho feline pet comes in the
basket category. It is of course en
amelled and of just the right shade to
enhance sweet pussy's complexion when
she basks in her basket.
Ho, sweeping the eye over all bas
kets of the present moment bo they

it i plain, or rather fancy, to be seen
that all basketry has its touch of
coquetry. 1 '
