After three weeks of nightly re
hearsals, the annual Elks play is ready
to go on. The east was put through a
grilling dress reSiearsal last evening,
and at the end of which lames Mott,
the director, pronounced the actors in
fit condition to put over the best per
formance the ,Elks have yet staged
when the curtain rises on the 1919 play
"Officer 666," tomorrow night.
One of the real treat of the annual
Elks play will 'be the actingof Mrs.
Walter Spaulding. In the 1919 offer
ing, "Officer 666,55 Mrs, Spaulding
will appear as Mrs. Burton, one of the
most screamingly funny ciaracters in
this, the funniest of all present day
comedies. '
"Mrs Burton" is the hysterical aun
tie of the' two beautiful young women
who insist upon flying in the fae of
several conventions which are very
dear to 'the elder lady. Ono of "Mrs.
Burton's" pet aversions is elopements,
and when the curtain rises, one of the
nieces, "Helen, the grape fruit girl"
(Miss Olga Gray) as about to elope
with a famous picture crook (Oscar
Gingrich) who ihas succeeded in pass
ing himself off as Travers Gladwin
(James Mott) the owner of a million
dolhir art collection. "Mrs. Burton"
with the assistance of the other niece,
Sadid ((Mjisa1 Florence (Cart-wright)
comes to the rescue of Helen. She
swears out a warrant for Gladwin on
the charge of abduction, and calls in
the whole police force to help her ef
fect the arrest. From that time on the1
action becomcs fast and furious, and
so far ns the audience is concerned, it
is one continuous sceam. "Mrs. .Bur
ton," of course, doesn't know the real
Gladwin, and the author of "Officer
6G0" has fixed it so that it is abso
lutely impossible for her to find out.
So auntio arrests everybody, in the
play, including the policemen.
Mrs.1 Spaulding s portrayal or tne
role of "Mrs. Burton" is a gem. Her
scenes with "Michael Prnlnu, Police
officer No. 666" (George C. L. Sny
dor) are so renlistie that even in re
hearsals the indefatiga'blo George has
to move rapidly to. keep out of danger,
whioh in one scene with ' " Whittior
Burnos" the silly ass from London,
(Carl Hinges) she actually administers
physical chastisement to the hoipiess
Kluk." Yoiuii Mr.- Hinges strenuous'
lv obiecta to going over this scene ev
erv cvenine. but James Mott, director,
always insists mat ne Taiso ms uiguuj
beating go that ne will do usou to it
when tho evening of the-performance
enmpa pound.
TJio Beat sale for both performances
of "Officer 666" opened at tho UpO'
ra House Pharmacy this morning There
was the usual rush for seats which al
ways accompanies the annual Elk pro
ductions, and the indications are that
as usual both houses will ibe sold out
before the curtain rises. As usual there
was also the rumor that the house was
sold out before noon. These rumors get
out every year and always havo to be
contradicted. There are still some igood
seatg left for both Wednesday's and
Thursday's performances. The chances
are, of course, that they won't last
much longer. Tho prices aro the same
as last year, $1 for the reserved seats
and 50 cents for tne ganery.

THE
RE G
Real Estate Assessmsiits Wiii
Be same As Last Year,
However.
"Hark, hark, the dogs do bark,
The assessors are coming to town."
Citizens of Salem will soon have the
pleasure of a visit from deputy asses
sors, as Ben F. West, eounty assessor
said today that the work of assessing
the city would begin in a day or so.
Those who have become hardened to
the visit annually of tho assessor need
foar nothing out of the usual this v-ear
Mr. West says that, real estate will be
given the assessment of one year ago
and the owner3 of property of this Kind
may turn in tho 1918 valuation.
The automoliile will come in for the
usual assessment but this will bo the
last time the family carriage driven
by a motor power is to figure on the
county assessors books. According to
tne law passed by the recent logisla
ture, 'beginning with Jan. 1, 1920, the
tax on autos will be in the form of a
licenso and will bo paid when the 1920
license is taken out. Hence next Jan.
1, the owner of a car wilj pay the
1920 license and then a few months
later will pay the 1919 assessment. Af
ter this experience, the auto tax will
come annually.
The tax rate this year is just a lit
tle high than ono year ago. For 1918
the rate in Salem was 29.9 mills. This
year it is 31.2 mills.
That is, if a man has a piece ot
property assessed at $1000 the taxes he
paid this spring amounted to $i9.90.
AV'xt spring when he pays on tho pres
ent assessment, it will be $31.20. The
aise in the taxes for balem this year
is 1.3 mills.
The office of the state tax commis
sioner will soon havo issued proper
blanks for the taking of a crop census.
Hcnco when the deputy assessors get
out into the rural districts early in
April, each will have tho blank form
by winch the farmer can turn in a cor
rect account of grain and fruit acre
age. :

Counly Fruit Inspector
Reports Fme Conditions
County Fruit Inspector 8. H. Van
Trump has just returned "from a tour
of the county and reports most eneour-
aaing conditions for this time of year.
The acreage of wheat and oats he
finds is fully 30 per cent larger than
last year and that the grain crops nev
er looked better. Wheat is from four
to six !nche high and of fine stand
everywhere excepting those fields close
to the tinfber.
Fruit conditions Mr. Van Trump
found most encouraging. Due to the
cold and rainy weather for the season,
iruit is 'backward, considering the time
of year. In many placeg the tips of
blossoms are jiurt beginning to show
ipink in the early varieties of peaches
such as the .Mayflower and Amsden.
He found the buds of pears and
prunes just beginning to swell, all of
which is considered most favorable.
Late Wossoming is regarded as a most
favorable condition, as the freezes that
do the damage seldom come later than
early April.
Taking the crop conditions in grains
and fruits as a whole, Mr. Van Trump
said that for the time of year, things
were looKing about lUU per cent.

SCOUT MOVEMENT
HAS BRIGHT OUTLOOK
Officers Elected At Meeting
He'd Last hn At Coianer
ciaJCIak A bright outlook was given Hie fu
ture of the boy scout movement iu Ma
rion county by the meeting of oitizma

missioner in San Francisco, made epe
principal address of the evening. Brief
addresses wero ma do bv J. F. Hutcha
son, Dr. E. E. Fisher, Walter Denton,
C. E. Knowlnnd and Milton Meyers.
The "big brother" spirit was fully
mauifest in all those discussions, which
went to demonstrate how much this
movement might mean to tho hoys of
Salem Detailed accounts were given
as to what had been accomplished in
other cities where tho scout movement
trad Ibcen backed up and encouraged by
the business men. A strong point was
made of the fact that the council
would' serve not only to awaken inter
est on tho part -of tho boys, but would:
brnig about a closer relation between
the fathers and sons.

DAILY HEALTH TALKS.
GOING BACK TO NATURE
. , (By DR. W. LUCAS)
Teople get sick because they go away
from Nature, and the only way to get
well is to go 'back. Something grows
out of the ground in the form of veg
etation to cure almost evory ill. Some
of these vegetable growths are under
stood by man, and some aro not. Ani
mals, it would seem, know what to do
when they are sick better than men
and women. Observers have noted that
a sick horse, dog or cat will stop eat
ing food and seek out some vegetable
growth in the field or yard, which,
when found and eaten, often, restores
appetite and health. Haven't you seen
these animals do this very thing'yonr
selff ,
Dr Pierce, of Buffalo, N. 'Y., long
since found tho hertis and roots pro
vided by Nature to overcome contipa
tion, nnd ho had these vegetables col
lected and made up of Mayapplo,
leaves of Aloe, root of Jalap, into lit
tle white sugar coated pills, that he
called Dr. Pierce's Pleasant I'ellets.
You must understand that 'when your
intestines are stopped up, poisons and
decayed matter are imprisoned "in your
system, and these aro carried by the
blood throughout your body. Thus does
your head ache, you get dizzy, you
can't sleep, your kin may break out,
your appetite declines, you get 'tired
and despondent. As a matter of fact,
you may get sick all over. Don't you
see how useless all this Buttering 1ST
All that is often needed ss a few of
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which ho
lias placed in all drug stores for your
convenience nnd health. Try them by
all means. They arc probably the very
thing you need right now.
