THE MOVING PICTURE SHOW

The development Of the moving pic
ture show has progressed so rapidly
that il IL now a factor m toe days civ
ilization. Hood River has its two
moving picture houses. Practically
every hamlet in the United States has
its patrons of the tilm productions, who
witness the unwinding Of the reels as
faithfully as they read their daily pa
pers. Strange results have been
brought about By the introduction Of
moving pictures. For more than half
century efforts had been made to edu-
cate the mountaineers Of the East len
nessee ana Kentucky mountains. Nov
ing picture shows were brought to
towns at the border OF their uelRhbor'
hoods. The bin b,Iies became inter
ested. and at once there was q demand
for knowledge. They were not able to
understand the pictures very well,
when they could not read the captions
and the explanations.
John Bunny, comedian, moving pic
ture IDOL, fat, funny faced John Bunny
was at the point of death last week.
Millions Of Americans have laughed at
the antics of the big man, and when
the daily press announced his illness 1t
was felt that a personal friend was
sick. Bunny, the good news now
comes. is recovering.
But with the pleasures and educational
features. dangers are brought along
with the movies. They tend to make
children precocious and to steal from
the innocence of childhood. Exceeding
care should be used by producing COM
panies. Many film dramas are of a
nature that will tend to draw the hun
dreds who see them to perverted ideas
of morality.

"During the balance Of the 1913 sea-
son the experimental prop hooks were
carefully watched. Under very trying
conditions their success was so pro-
nounced felt encouraged TO apply for
a patent and make arrangements in the
east for their manufacture. In 1914
eanyassed the valley with the result
that orders were actually taken from 80
per cent of the growers interviewed
and the other 10 per cent we're unstint-
ed in their praise. In September a trip
was made to Yakima and although the
season was too late to take orders,
demonstrations were concluded on
nearly 100 ranches and orders for 1915
are already coming from there as a
result. The only unpleasantncss en-
countered during the whole season was
the fact that the first shipment of prop
hooks was late in arriving and caused
many customers some little anxiety.
Henceforth | shall aim to keep large
stock on hand in the valley, thus facili-

we must look to a lowered cost in pro-
duetion for our profits in the apple in

With two hands out Ryan went to bat,
And soaked a foul to right
The ball hit in a big knot hole,
And stuck there very tight.
A boy, whose eye was at the hole,
Was knocked clear twenty feet;
He must have been for he was found,
HALF way across the street.
The next ball hit by Tubby Ryan,
Looked like a clean home run,
But was pulled down by Skinny Jim.
And right well was it done.
