Thousands of Eastern Elks, dele gates to the great national conven. tion held lase week at hos Angeles, elected to return bome by way of the Northwest. And today, thousands of these, with their wives, were staring, open-mouthed, at the fresh green of Seattie’s lawns, its great beds of unscorched flowers, its broad expanse of salt water, its back- ground of snow-clad mountains, and its lakes. And they were taking long, deep breaths of the cool, moist, salty air and trying hard to re- alize that it is the middle of summer. Early yesterday morning the West Virginia delegation passed thru Se attle, And Harry Calohan, who has charge of gathering flowers (by the way, folks, they need a lot of them), passed out samples of Seattle's best. And the West Virginians thought they were hothouse plants. They refused to believe that such gorgeous, fresh blooms could be grown right out in the open under a July sun!

J. E. Crowther, D. D. Written Especially for The Star HE) story of the birth of the pageant, “The Wayfarer,” is soon told. In February, 1919, T was called to New York to take charge of the Centennary celebration which was to take place in Columbus, Ohio, in June following. The central feature of that celebration was to have been a great pageant. Already we were within the “danger zone” for the crea- tion of the necessary scenery and costumes, and yet no suitable pageant was available. A year had elapsed in preparation for the pageant, but at the crucial moment no manuscript commensurate with the significance of the occasion was at hand. It was a desperate situation. One Friday night I was tos on my bed in the Savoy hotel, pondering over the problem the time my own Temple Chorus in Seattle was rehearsing “The Messiah” In preparation for Baster, Suddenly there flashed into my mind the idea, why not drama- tize Handel's “Messiah”? I got out of bed and began to make notes. My blood was on fire. All night long I laughed, cried, prayed and toiled. I heard the guns in Flanders fields, saw the captives in TH ED EDITION TWO CENTS IN SEATTLE NIPPONESE © LABORERS DEPORTED!

The boycott would have been directed at all producers who employed Japanese labor, The deportations are said to have been effected principally for the purpose of preventing between 200 and 300 Japanese seventy from coming into the Turlock district as melon pickers. The raidegs were masked. .They deported all the Japanese | they found except those who could produce land leases. The trouble is an outcome of a dispute between the ‘melon growers and the white melon pickers, the latter being or- ganized in aunion. The union-rate for picking meloris is 25 cents a crate. The Japanese laborers have been picking melons for 16 cents a crate. The farmers of the Turlock district were planning to im- port between 200 and 300 additional Japanese laborers, it jis said. It is charged that the deportations were conceived by the | white workers in order to prevent this move and to frighten | Japanese laborers away. DRASTIC ACTION FOLLOWS UNHEEDED PROTEST TO TURLOCK LEADERS | About 400 Japanese laborers recently arrived here to work | during the fruit season, About 800 more were under con- tract and were beginning to arrive. Protest was made yesterday to the Chamber of Commerce | by W. C.

Portions of Scripture were jotted down, ther portions of dialogue written, and notes made on the music, I, who had -no theatrical experience whatsoever, was drawing sketches of the stage plan as it came to me, and making notes on the Ighting effects and costumes. * At 7 o'clock the following morning “The Wayfarer” had been born. It came from above, from the Divine Author who that night used a humble preacher ag His messenger of music, Of course it called for much work after that night. What I had was the vision and the notes. These had to be reduced to form and reality in terms of the stage. “ As soon as possible we set the makers of scenery and costumes to work. Time wag all too short and fleet. The last three carloads’ of scenery and lighting equipment arrived in Columbus just in time to be set up for the opening performance, Without a single opportunity to drill the 100 members of the stage crew; without one dress rehearsal for the singers and other participants, “The Wayfarer” stepped out on the stage at Columbus and made his bow to the American public.
