THE "MOVIE" OF THE FUTURE Ilow.far the movie pictures may go before something else takes their place, or they are so improved as to make them practically like the old theatrical plays, requiring real acting, no one can foresee: but that this will happen is as certain as that the movie with its cheapness made the real theater no longer profitable. One of the first things required to give reality to the pictures is some thing that will remove the quivering and reduce the action to something not so much on the humming bird sty'e of movement. The mcvie of today is too abrupt, to jerky, too siidden in movements. These are its two worst features, but sometime they will be overcome. Then again it is quite possible, perhaps probable, that before many years the phonograph will be made to work in con- 1 A T T A,.UM J ha 4-l mi nviirt t11 linifA IieCUOn Wlin Hie pictures aim &u u.t auuieiice wiu nave not only the pictured scene, but will also hear the story as told by real actors and actresses. When this time comes it will put the movies on an entihely new p'ane, and it will cut out a lot of butterfly movie actresses and actors who depend on their looks entirely for thir popularity. The Telegram and some other papers advocating the re election of Governor Withycombe say the boys "Over There" have asked that he be re-elected, because of his "patriotism." Perhaps some of the boys in the army have expressed a preference for Withycombe for governor, but it is a certainty that but few of them have done so and also a certainty that nine-tenths of the boys have ex- Dressed no preference at all. The claim is an insinuation that the other-candidates are lacking in patriotism. What ever else may be said of the other. five republican candi dates no one will question their patriotism or place it on a lower level than that of the governor. It is a dirty trick to try to wring the boys into an election campaign when they are not in a position to correct any mis-statement made regarding their attitude. Most vegetables now used as food were at one time mere weeds. The potato is a remarkable example of the possibility of one branch of a family of useless or poison ous weeds being not only edible but one of the important fodstuffs of the civilized world. The potato belongs to the nightshade family of which theic are more than 1,000 varieties and of which the potato and the egg plant are the only two edible varieties. Most of the others are weeds and many of them poisonous. Some are orna mental, and one variety is the horse nettle whose name suggests its kind. Nightshade, bittersweet and henbane are some of the varieties. The field for research and improvement among vegetation in which Luther Bur bank has won such fame, is certainly one of the largest and least explored of any that remain for the mind of man to develop and make serviceable to man. Washington is the best state in the Union from which! to observe the eclipse. The path of totality runs diagonal-! ly across the entire state, and the highest points of obser vation are located within her borders. For once she leads Oregon but this from natural causes rather than any merits or eiiorts of her own. We feel sorry for the Oregonian in that West is not governor. The escape of Baldwin from the state prison would give our big, contemporary several front Daere stories and oodles of editorial if it was West instead of Withycombe who had control of the prison. MHMt4Mt Rippling Rhymes by Walt Mason WARTIME WORK The click of needles ever is sounding in my home, while I make fierce endeavor to grind my daily pome. I'm giving Art and Letters tne hardest kind of knocks, while wife is knitting swsaters and aunt is knitting socks. Ana sundry loyal neighbors have come to knit a while, and they pursue their labors in patriotic style. They're talking rvjuic mcjf ic lumuiig, in accents ioua ana clear; and while my harp I'm hitting, I can not help but hear. "Old Jinx is worth a million, and maybe much bevond: he bourht. so help me Lillian, a fifty-dollar bond." "The dame who does mv washing k nftni so poor she groans; but up she comes a-sloshing, and digs up fifty bones. The day that brought no wringing for hpr noc xuAA " vluulu uanucu, uui sue is gayiy singing, uecause owns a Dona." "wen Know who are the slackers, I'll bet my widow's weeds; we'll spot the wordv Haters who don't make good, with deeds. The aiders and abettors of wnneim must he canned." The girls are knitting sweat ers, and socks, to beat the band. I hear their needles click ing, wim patriotic tire, while I am sadly kicking the stuffing from my lyre. Can bard have inspiration, or sing a song, my dears, with all that conversation forever in his ears? I I'l'M . - whit .11 rru The Woman Who Changed By JANE PHELPS A SATISFACTORY DAT HELEN'S SEWARD. With contracts for 100 more wooden ships promised the coast, the ship -building business should get such montf rem that even 'he ending of the war will not stop it. If every farm would support only ten more sheep than it does at present, the United States would be practically free from all the world as to its wool supply. More than that the farmers would find the returns from the sheep almost clear profit. In addition to the keeping of a hog, the raising of a sheep should get some attention and sheep clubs should go hand in hand with the pig clubs. Oregon has made several records since the United States entered the war of which her citizens should justly feel proud. She is in addition to these making another that in some respects out-classes all the others, and that is she is right up at the front in the matter of ship building. Ships and more ships is the pressing demand if we are to win the war, and Oregon is doing not only her bit but an overshare for some of the other states. The announcement made by Highway Engineer Nunn that the steel bridge will be open for traffic by the first of July is about as cheering a bit of news as Salem has had since the old bridge was closed. CHAPTEB LXXVI. "So I wan a good girl, was If" I did not pretend to misunderstand. 'You are a wonderful girl," ho said, with a note in Ms voice that thrilled mo.

That whs just what Julia Collins had tried Jo do, and u iiaun-i ueen rue first tmw she had tried to anub mo before George and others. I gave her the eredit, however, of doing it only to impress Geoigo with my luck of savoir fnire. "That will Iw lovely! I'm sure we'll liav.s a better time thau they!" I ac cepted uneonsciously giving Merton a chance to aec my hurt. "I am sure wo will," he responded, then, "excuse me a minute. Ifl tell Robert to do his best." An Hour Which Brought Good Results. I He was gouo but a moment, then withou.' saying anything more, he again posod me and resumed .working. For over an hour, with an occasional rest, ho worked steadily, saying nothing save to remind me to keep quiet, or to ask if I were able to hold the Dosition a little longer. ' I was busily thinking while he work ed. I remembered that peculiar flash that I had wen before, on my husband's face, when I had been able' to hold mv own with his woinou friends. Was it really true that even occasionally he waa proud of met Already, I had forgot ten that I was ordered like S child that I had been hurt and angry because or it.

I felt so delicieusly wicked. I,, was just liko the things of which I read This luncheon a deux, iu the studio of n popular artist! But there all similar ity ended. Merton was the dignified and solieitious host nothing more. And in all the stories I had read, the artist made love to the lady before the lunch eon was finished. We had a delightful lunch. Robert had really outdone himself. And we lingered over it, laughing and talking, for over an hour. Then, as Celeste had fini.4l.e1l her meal (served in the daintily clean ancnenj, we started home. W ould George be angry, when I told him I had luncheon with Merton Gray I had no slightest intention of hiding it from him. He had takven Julia Collins with him; surely I had a right to re main with Merton. So I reasoned, never even thinking that since tho beginning 01 iime mere nau neon one code for a man, another for a woman. I heard Celes, bragging to Mary about Robert's wonderful cooking. And Mary's sarcastic reply, followed by tho remnni: "I supposo youH be after settiu' your cap for him, now that you are eimn- 111s cooKin'Tf "IVrhapsi" Celoste replied with all the niriness of the French maid when the other sex is in question.
