C. A. Minor says the big rains dur
ing the week are just what the coun-
try needs for all varieties of crops.
They have been little hard on the
sheepmen who were just ready to
move their fiocks into the mountains,
but are assured of abundant feed la
ter on. The wheat fields appear to
be so well supplied with moisture
now that even partial failure in
the crops can scarcely be expected.
Crop development in Morrow coun-
ty the past few weeks has certainly
/ been wonderful.

towns of Ashlands size-the popu-
lation is between five and six thous-

character of the society into which
they are to enter, and l am sure that
Ashland, in this respect, is faultless.
The citizens are friendly, honest
peace-loving, and sober. This last
qualification will soon be compul'

Famous Beban In
"The Alien

One of the most widely known in
dividual characterizations in the
country is George Beban's much
bereft Italian in his play, "The Sign
of the Rose. He has played it every
where for years. 1t is one of the few
plays that can revisit the same the
atres season after season. So it was
only to be expected that sooner or
later it would find its way to the
screen. AS photoplay, under the
new title of "The Alien" it is vastly
/ more effective than i'll its original
form, and bids fair to be even more
popular. Its appeal to the lachrymal
ducts of audiences was always power
full. Now it is a regular three-hand-
kerchief play. Quantities of salt
tears are wept at every performance.
This, of course, is the scene which is
familiar to vaudeville audiences.
Without the aid of the camera it
required a great deal more explana-
tory dialogue.
In another respect "The Alien" is
quite remarkable. 1t is far more
lucid and self-explanatory than other
pictures. 1t requires much less cap
tions to explain the actions. Only
occasional lines of dialogue are flash
ed on the screen, and they are not
strictly necessary.
Mr.. Beban will be seen in "The
Alien" at the Vining theatre on Sa-
turday and Sunday afternoons and
evenings, December 25 and 26. The
film is a wonderful Paramount pic
ture and is said to be greater than
the Eternal City,, which was shown
Thanksgiving here. Everywhere
that "The Alien" has been shown
1t has been accorded wonderful ap-
preciative comments by the press.
The acting of Beban has long been
acknowledged to be the highest art
there is in character work. He loses
none of his effectiveness when put
upon the screen ="

Theda Bara In
''The Two Orphans

The William Fox version of D.
Ennery's famous drama "The Two
Orphans, which differs radically
from the stage version in power, life
and color, calls for the services of
an altogether exceptional cast, head
ed by Theda Bara and Jean Sothern
as Henriette and Louise, the "two
orphans" The part of Henriette is
a radical departure from the Vam-
pire parts with which Miss Bara's S
name has become associated with
both here and in Paris; where she
was leading woman of the Theatre
Antoine. Her splendid artistry, how
ever, renders the French actress cap
able of giving an unusually powerful
redition of the character and she sue
ceeds admirably in bringing out the
deep, emotional side of Henriette.
Jean Sothern, one of the most win
some and beautiful of the younger
American actresses, gives an appeal
ing performance of power and pathos
as Louise, the blind girl. Miss Soth-
ern makes her screen debut in this
part.
"The Two Orphans" is the most
expensive production thus far put
out by William Fox-over 100000
was spent on the film version. Man
ager Lawrence has arranged spe-
cial programme for the six-piece or
chestra. On Thursday and Friday
Dorothy Donnelly will be seen in
Henri Bernstein's great play, "The
Thief" in spirit Of holiday time.
Everyone whose admission ticket
ends in on Thursday evening will
be given a box of Johnson Bros.
chocolates. The Universal orchestra
concert will be given on Thursday.

Goodbye To Many
Patent Medicines

Many of our old friends will fail
to smile down upon us from the drug
store shelves when we drop in to
buy pencil or a pill after the first
out the year. District Attorney
Evans of Multnomah county is quoted
as stating that all of the patent medi-
cines which have an alcoholic per-
centage of more than that allowed by
the new dry law, will come under its
ruling and may not be sold. The at
torneys statement comes as a result
of an inquiry from a wholesale drug
concern. Hostetters Bitters, which
has an alcoholic percentage of "a,
was the subject of inquiry. Attorney
Evans says:
You have all heard of blind tigers.
One of the most common of these
fraudulent devices is to put a few
drugs, barks or extracts into a very
common liquor and put It on the mar
ket for sale as pretended medi-
cine, under the name of cordial,
tonic or 'bitters'. Hostetters Bit

DO NOT leave matches within

Candles are meant to be lighted, and
if the children get matches they will

DO NOT allow trees to remain in
side buildings after the holidays. The
tree itself ignites readily when
needles have become dry. A large
number of fires usually occur in Jan

This is the advice to stores.
Watch smokers. Do not permit them
to light cigars inside buildings. Do
not make changes in electric wiring
without consulting the electrical in
spector. Watch the gas jets. Deco
rations may be carried against them

Light, inflammable decorations
make fires easy to start and easy to
spread. A match, gas flame or an
