Al tho Myrtle cannot swim as well as An nette Kellerman but she can dive more gracefully. And she is not far behind her in swimming. And don't labor un der the impression, tor one. minute that Miss Stedman does not know how to handle a rifle. Sho is a crack shot and never misses the bull-eye. She can make some of our so-called cowboys fairly blush when it comes to riding a bronco. In fact Miss' Stedman 's, first ex perience in pictures was with the Se Jig Polyscope company in which she was especially engaged to do the lead ing part in all the western dramas in which sho had to ride the wildest of - broncos, .in . a dare-devil fashion. On several occasions Miss Stedman came very near losing her life in performing daring deeds while depicting the wild west scenes and was thrown from her horse. So badly was she injured on one occasion that several stitches had to be taken in her back. In fact Miss Sted man has had for a young woman a wide and varied experience. She enjoys her -work thoroughly and attributes her huge success to hard work and close attention to business. Miss Stedman is olso a talented singer and will render two numbers at each performance dur ing her stay in Salem. , Court House News ADS' OurWani Ads will always brirouSiAnal results They dearthercadsoyoucan dyourwant Try one.43 JOURNAL WANT ADS PAY Pearl Vance Peacock was given a judgment against A.

Girls between the ages of 18 and 25 may be committed to the school for crimes committed, but they are not juvenile court cases.

Champion Jess Willard has broken with Toift Jones, his manager- "Yes," said Jones on ms arrival here, "if Willard has his way, I am out of a job. But, perhaps, not so far out as Jess might imagine." Jones declared that as his contract with Willard lasts until the middle of September, he proposes to sign Willard for two matches, one with Carl Morris and the other with Fred Fulton nnd will see that Jess goes through with them or quits fighting. Jones and Curley attribute the ac tion of the champion to penuriousness. Cobb After Record. Detroit, Mich., June 22.

FIRST BAND CONCERT DRAWS GREAT CROWI Park Rimmed With Roses, Air Filled with Harmony at First Concert The first band concert of the year was uiven at Willson Talk last even- mir and all Salem turned out for the occasion. A splendid program of which a feature was the siujring of Mrs. (Unpen, deliuhted the ereat crowd and the colored fountain, so long out of use seemed more than usually beautiful. The weather was all that could be wish ed, though iierhnns a trifle cool for some, and was partly responsible for the big park being well filled. A lied CraM booth was maintained, so that those who had been overlooked, by the committees could have a chance to help put another stripe in the big banner. Ti, i,t,lniilid music, at this, the first of the seasons concerts, gives promise of many enjoyable evenings during the summer. - FIVE RED STRIPES (Continued from page one.) Salem has one more day to complete, the raising of her share" of the Ked Cross fund; one more day to add tie two remaining necessary red stripes to the flag in front of the Derby build ing. Thousands of citizens have been approached by the Bed Cross solicitors, and most of them have msnfnllv nt,i .647 ;ii, to the full extent of their ability. .615, Hundreds have handed over their cash, "So'111"' hmu1rel3 more h had no ready '2fl'"u"lt,y in tlle:r i,ttl"!, have signed the Pledge cards and given their word thut 4-9 somehow thev would raie o,,,l a !,.:. 417 SllbSCl'ibeil ilisfallmmita a.D 4l, JOS 'due. A detestnbl do whom have heretofore been 'reckoned as "leading citizens," have steadfastly reiused to give up a single niclilo to the cause of liberty and humanity. Today the Red Cross workers are fir ing their last guns in the campaign. Today the newspapers are sounding the final call to the. financial colors. Listen, you well-meaning patriots who have not yet done your bit! This is the 8. O. S. of the Red Cross drive. It calls to voa to "save our ship." You haven't time to wait till the solicitors call on yon. Vou must come through voluntarily and immediately if you want to save the city from the disgrace of leaving to posterity a smeared-np, unfinished rag, instead oi a ueautmu, completed l)nu ner it: a record of the Red Cross drive. The solicitors can't reach you all to day and Monday, but the committee at the Derby building will take your sub scription in person, by mail, or by tele phone, and they will take it any time Sunday, too. "It. is up to those who have not vet contributed," said a campaign manager today, "whether Salem goes down in history as a slacker town or as an hon-est-to-god American community.". We can't cull personally on every inhabi tant, even with our big force of vol unteer workers, but that makes no dif ference. Every man in this town has a chance to show just where he stands on the Red Cross proposition, and be lieve me, when this campaign is over everybody is going to know just where he tands, too. He will be known either as ft slacker or a patriot." At this point Captain George C. L. Snyder, the well-known comedian, butted in with tho remark that the mo.,t prominent slackers on his particular list had already been pretty well advertised. lieorge had -pist been turned down tint by a local bloated bond holder whom he had expected to come through with at least a thousand, and he was taking no pains to concenl the identity of the offender. "We have separated tie sheep from the goats," said George, "and we don't intend to keep quiet, about who's who in Salem." ''Patriotic talk," continued the cam paign manager, after G. Curtis Lee had stopped raving, "doesn't help any body; neither does it fool anybody. At a moving picturo show last night the flag appeared on the screen, and whs greeted by the usual applause. About three seats away from me sat a man who was trying to outdo the whiiie house in the matter of noisy hand clapping. He even whistled to lot his neighbors see how patriotic ho was. I looked in the direction of this human siren and discovered that ho was tho same man I had tackled that afternoon for a Red Cross contribution, and who had refused absolutely to donate a pen ny. His excuse was that if the govern ment needs Red Cross funds it ought to find, some other way to raise them, in steady of sending a bunch of highway men out to hold up honest citizens for donations. "Tho joke of it is," broke in the in corrigible George, "these ginks think they are getting away with that sort of bunk. And they did, too, before this campaign started. But from now on they stand just about as much show ns the proverbial snowball in well, some place roses do not bloom.
