JULIETTE DAY
NEW SCREEN STAR.

The simple but pleasing story of a
young man who is trying 10 get his
songs published forms the basis of
The Rainbow Girl, shown at the
Lasalle today. Juliette Day, a Broad
way favOrite, is pretty and charming
in the cheerful part of the girl
whose smiles tighten up the humble
home in which she lives. When the
young chap comes in as a bOarder a
pretty romance starts and is con-
sistently unfOlded. The sketches of
events in a music publishers office
are amusing and out of the ordinary.
The picture will furnish pleasing
entertainment for any audience and
the new star will make friends.
Friday, The Girl Who Couldn't
Grow Up, with Margarita Fischer,
will be shown.

COURT SETTLES
WITH CLAYTON POND

The County Commissioners Court in
session last week settled with Clayton
Pond in full for injuries received last
summer while working on the County
rock crusher at Siletz, paying him the
sum Of $500. Up until the present
time the County has been paying Mr..
Pond the sum Of $50 per month. Mr..
Pond has spent considerable time in
hospitals and under the care Of doc
tors but his leg which was broken in
two places refuses to knit. A new
Operation will be necessary and what
is known as bone graft attempted.
Should this prove a failure Mr.. Pond
will probably have to go on crutches
the rest Of his life. We believe the
Court did the right thing in settling
with Mr.. Pond, as 1t gives him a
chance to have the necessary opera
tion, and also relieves the taxpayers
OF a continual expence, or possible
damage suit.
