SALEM'S MAYOR TAKES
PART WIG PLAY
DeTelops Unexpected Talent
Which He Displays In Por
traying a "Boob"
There are several unique feature
about "Get-Rich-Quick Wsllingford,"
the famous omedy by George M. Coh
an and George Randolph Cheater, which
the Elks are to stage at the Grand on
April 3 and 4 with an all star east of
local actors. Perhaps its most unique
feature is its universal popularity. Ev
erybody is familiar with J. Kufus,
"Blaekie," Onion Jones, G. V. Battles,
and the score or more ol other chnr
acterg made famous by Mr. Chester in
the original Walliugford stories. Ev
erybody has heard of George M- Cohan,
the man who dramatized "Get-Rich-Quick-Wallingford."
Cohan is the au
thor of "Forty-five Minutes From
Broadway," " Little Johnny Jones,"
"George Washington Junior," and
"The Yankee l'rince." He is ihe only
playwright in the world who has never
written a failure, the only manager in
the world who has never produced a
failure and 1 ' Get-Rich-Quick-Walling-ford
" is Cohan 's biggest hit.
But when it comes to popularity, at
least from a local viewpoint, the play
itself has nothing on the all-star aggre
gation that w ill shine in it at the Grand
next week. One of the best known of
the big antlired herd that will essay
the various toles of "Wallingford," is
Mayor Walter E. Keyes, barrister, ora
tor, politician, and statesman and news-lv-clected
exalted ruler of the Elks. The
Mayor of Salem will play the. part of
"Timothy Battles," the mayor of Bat
tlesburg. Battlesbur? is a town in Iowa, where
the action of "Get-Rich-Quick Walling
ford" takes place. It is what J. Rufus
Wallingord (('has. V. Galloway) desig
nates as a "boob town" and it cer
tainly is one. Thither J. Rufus sends
the indefatigable "Blackio Daw"
(James Mott) to round up the natives
and prepare tliem tor a wholesale
"fleecing" at the hands of Walling
ford. One of the first to "fall" for
Wallingford 'a confidence game is May
or Timothy, who in many .respects is
the "Prize Boob" of the village- His
honor almost breaks his neck to buy
$25,000 worth of Wallingford's cover
ed carpet tack stock, and persuades the
city fathers, (Cooke Patton, Wilson
Howard, Ernest R. Ringo, F. II. Devore,
Paul Stegc and L. S. Geer) to do the
same. What happens to the "boobs"
and Wallingford and the tack factory
after that is what the story of the piny
is all about. ' It takes four acts of un
alloyed laughter to tell it, and when
you see, it you will agree that it is
"some story."
The Honorable Mr. Keyes makes a
most excellent "boob" on the stage.
In other words, lie is a splendid actor.
Where he acquired the art is a mystery,
for tins is his first appearance on the
local stage as a thespian. But he has
certainly digested all the fine points
of his role, .mid he handles it like a
professional.
The seat sale for both performances
of "Get-Kicli-Qiiick-Wailingford" will!
open nt the opera house pharmacy at St
o'clock next itondav morning.
MAYOR WALTER E- KEYES .
Government Is to
Dispose of Three
Tracts in Oregon
Three big areas of government land
are to be opened to the publie within
the next two months at Klamath Kails,
Oregon. Two of these tracts are of
land in the Klamath Indian reserva
tion. The others is the land preinred
by the government in the Tule lake re
clamation project.
Bids on the first pieee of land, 422.1
aeres of reservation, will be opened
April 14. The Tule lake drawing is
expected to take place on April 23, and
the second tract of reservation land,
consisting of 704S acres, will be dis
posed of May 13.
Indian lands are to be sold to the
highest bidders. It is necessary for
the applicant to know just which piece
of land he wishes to acquire, and the
assessed valuation of it. Bids below
the appraised value of the land will
not be considered. A certified check
for 10 per cent of the amount of tho
bid must also acconiany each offer.
All necessary information may be ob
tained , from Superintendent William
Freerer at the Klamath agency Oregon.
Drawing by Lottery.
The Tule lake reclamationland is to
be disposed of by lot. Government
officials have notified J. C. Cam,
manager of the project, of their inten
tion to hold the lottery on April 25.
Applicants are to be allowed five days
for filing applications. It is expected
that, instead of the 03 tracts an
nounced at lirst, the number appor
tioned at this time will be cut to 45.
In consideration of the fact that the
land office at Lakeview cannot be
reached except by stage, and that the
roads at -ihis timo of year aro prac
tically impassable, efforts are being
made by the Klamath Falls Commer
cial club and by the reclamation serv
ice to have the drawing held at
Klamath, Falls. This question has not
vet been definitely decided.
Each winner nt the lottery will be
required io make an initial payment of
$180 for water rights. No further pay
ments after this, except for mainten
ance, will be required for five years.
Land Is Productive.
The land io be opened by the govern
inent as a result of the completion of
tho Tule lake irrigation project is do
elared to be aiuone the best agricul
tural land in the state. It is irrigated
bv the United States irrigation service,
Indian lands to be sold at auction are
useful principally for gracing. The
senson as a rule, is too short to allow
to mature. Much of this land
is also under 'irrigation.

BE CARTFUL IN USING-
SOAP ON YOUR HAIR
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
mokes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsitied eocoanut oil, for it is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this nt any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. It makes an abund
ancejof rich, creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy,
wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it
loosens and takes out every particle of
dust, dirt and dandruff.

Von Ilindeiibuig's orders.
Pining the two years' occupation tho
Germans reqiiislioiied continually from
the civil population, giving "redeem
able receipts" but before retreating,
officers forced civilians to Biirreuder
these claims. Moreover, tliey forbade
any of the French .from retaining
either gold or silver money.
All they could keep was 300 francs
of paper money (approximately $00.)
No one in the occupied section suc
ceeded in saving uny more than this
sum. Nor could they save their prop
erty except the very ground which
was the only thing the Germans were
unable to destroy or carry off.
At Koye the Germans spared the
American relief commission head
quarters which was able to keep
babies alive with condensed milk until
the French came up.
Before the retreat the French had
been limited to thrco hundred grama
of bread daily.
In the vicinity of Ham the Germans
destroyed all growing crops, running
harrows over the sprouting fields.
During a twenty mile walk 1 did not
see a cow, a horse, a pig, a chicken or
a rabbit. Every living animal had
been killed,' eaten or carried off by tho
Germans.
Kven the forests denuded by the
Germans and in the orchards where
the Germans ruined all trees I
not see a singlo bird.
Augmenting this impression of a
stricken, scourged country are the end

A moment later a woman emerged,

"Look! look!" she cried "they've

Nothing was more poignantly a re

today. Hut it was only one incident
of many.
That Germany intends bleeding
northern France to complete ruination,
cannot be doubted.
Not only was every person, capable
of working, driven back while the
children, the aged and the infirm were
left behind to the allies succor, but
