NOTICE OF TAKING UP AND SALE
OF ESTRAYED ANIMALS.

Notice is hereby given that the
undersigned j. l.. Kirk did on the
21st day of January, 1917 take up at
his place on upper Willow Creek

Oregon. and now holds at said place
the following described animals, to-
w.t.
(. One bay mare apparently coming
three years old, no decipherabIe
brand.
One brown horse (stallion) ap-
parently coming two years old, un-
branded, both of above animals are
wild and unbroken.
Notice is further hereby given that
unless said animals are claimed and
right to possession thereof shown by
the owner thereof before such date,

character women; Grace johnson and
Marian Sigler. two pretty ingenues;
"Kewpie" Morgan, a rotund and
wholesome comedian; Chas. Marriott,
Ernest Shields, Jack Mulhall and
Dana Ong complete an evenly prof.
cient company of artists.
Z. In the matter of equipment,
where the artificial scenes have been
creatd, no expense has been spared to
lend an elaborate fitness to the occa-
sion. In the natural settings some Of
the most beautiful vistas in Califor-
mia have been caught by the camera
and presented to the screen as COM
ponent parts of the unfolding story.
s. Completeness of detail has ever
been the salient point of success in
establishing the popularity of Blue
birds. The same lavish expenditure
of money, benefited by experience in
producing photoplays, will lend an
especially meritofious attractiveness
to "Wanted-A Home"
3. Finally, it is Bluebird; and
with Bluebird "The Plays the
Thing" Commercial methods have
been at last applied to photoplay pro-
duction, and Bluebird, as an organi-
zation, is depending upon its previous
production for present success and
future prosperity. If it's Bluebird
it must be good photoplay. If It is
not good photoplay, it cannot be a
Bluebird.
"Wanted-A Home" will carry an
appeal to all types of theatregoers;
for there is good purpose, set forth
effectively in gripping scenes, with
the establishment of numerous
scenes that will awaken practically
every emotion human nature is heir
to-and a good lesson will be present
ed under the engaging motive of
pleasant entertainment.

NINE POINTS OF MERIT
IN "WANTED-A HOME

In support of the claim of Bluebird
Photoplays, Inc, that THE Plays
the Thing" the fve-aet drama, WAN
ted-A Home" will be exhibited at
the Star theatre on Saturday. March
"a, and as in substantiation of its
superiority over the ordinary variety
of motion pictures the following
points of merit are specifically ad-
vanced:
l. The Smalleys, comprising Lois
Weber, and her husband, Phillips
Smalley. directed the production and
Miss Weber provided the scenario.
The preponderant essential to su-
perior moving picture lies in the skill
in which its actors are directed, once
a play is accepted for presentation.
Q. Good direction very naturally
waits upon good play, and the fact
that Lois Weber has furnished the
story is assuranre in this instance Of
excellence. In substantiation, witness
previous releases on the Bluebird
program from Miss Weber's pen;
''The Eye of Cod" Shoes" Saving
the Family Name" etc., etc.
3. Proficiency in directing has
been attained through the natural ar
tistic sense possessed in such abund-
ance by Miss Weber and her husband.
Their united efforts have produced
some of the greatest photoplays ever
shown upon the screen; "Hypo-
critics." Jewel" Where are My
Children?" and the master Bluebird.
"Shoes," may be mentioned among
the creations of the Smalleys.
4. Mary Mac Laren, the heroine of
"Shoes'' and Saving the Family
Name is the leading lady in WANT
ed-A Home" and in her third Blue
bird the pretty Scotch lassie has an
entirely different part than she has
ever played; role bringing to the
surface new stratas of her abundant
talents and artistry.
S. The story of "Wanted-A
Home" fixes the position of thousands
upon thousands of orphaned girls
who must struggle alone against the
besetting temptations needless or ac-
tually wanton citizens of the world
present in alluring procession. To
live rightly to Succepd against ad.
versity and to gain happiness as the
victory for fighting a good fighter
else to fall in humiliating defeat.
The story of Nina Rogers, the Or
phan, in "Wanted-A Home" will
appeal to every heart.
s. Every individual in the support
ing company has been chosen because
of the individual players particular
fitness to play the role assigned to
them. Mamie Wright, cleverest of

POWDER AT s'FO'pENCE" A POUND

Editors of staid English papers, who
never laughed at joke in their lives, are
publishing a statement that the horse
chestnut crop is to be harvested in that
country for use in making munitions,
mus enabling the government to save
large quantities of grain. We do not
know what kind of grain thus to be con-
served, has been used in making NUM-
tons, but we suppose it was pop corn.
There is a suspicion that some of our
manufacturers have made large quantity
of horse chestnut explosives which were
sent to France to be used in battle, before
we ascertained that they would not pop.
Probably the English have discovered a
new process of treatment which makes
horse chestnut powder of a most excel
lent quality. We think they have done
so because it is said they have appointed
director of propellant supplies" who is
to appoint committee of investigation,
which in turn is to employ sufficient
to climb all the horse chestnut trees in
England, to make a careful estimate of
the visible supply and to report the result
of their numerous investigations. After
a few hundred stenographers and tabula-
tors have consolidated the reports, a few
proclamations are to be issued, a few
acres of circulars are to be prepared and
mailed, and then the school children all
over the Kingdom are to be enlisted in
collecting the nuts. By the time all this
has been done and the powder has been
made and inspected, the war will be over
and the maximum price of horse chest
nut powder will be about s'fo'pence"
pound.

war strength of l, 200, the State felt quite
proud of what she had done. Now the
I'd Maine has lost it name, part of its
members have merged into the 1OSd and
we do not know where the identity of
the remainder is to be buried. Battery of
the Milliken regiment has been detached
and sent to Westfield to fill up deficiency
in men belonging to some other State.
Battery D has been sent somewhere else
for similar purpose and in one way or
another there are only 500 men left IN
disturbed. Whether this is going right
along till the regiment is entirely broken
up, or whether it is to be filled up by
fragmentary attachments from other
States and rechristened as the umpty-
umpth, of course we do not know. But
we think it safe to say that the State of
Maine will not recruit another regiment
of heavy artillery. We know now that
volunteer organizations as such, are not
to be allowed in the United States army.
Mr.. Roosevelt learned the fact some time
ago. A regiment fights more manfully
under the good old home name A trans
ferred soldier cannot avoid losing some
what of his local pride, and we shall
doubtless learn that the human local fac
tor adds much to valor on the field of
battle. The English have, as far as pos
sible, preserved the regimental local
names, and we believe that the United
States should do the same. The Milliken
Heavy Artilleryis being cut up for patch
work. 1t is certainly humiliating and we
believe it to be unwise.

Save Your Own Seed For Next
Year.

There is State wide seed campaign in
progress 1t originated in the seed de-
partment at Augusta a few weeks ago.
Since then it has spread in every county
of many that there will be a shortage of
all kinds of good seed this year. Hence,
it is urged that all possible available seed
should be saved throughout the State.
County committees have been appointed
by the seed department at Augusta. 1t
is the duty of these county committees
to appoint a chairman of committee
for every town in their county. In turn
it is the duty of every chairman of the
local committee to appoint deputies to
assist him in carrying on the work of
saving the seed. 1t is hoped by this
means to save large amount that may
not otherwise be saved. "Let everybody
do their bit" The Waldo county commit
tee consists of the following: N. S. Dona-
hue, Charles Woods, Albert Nickerson.

AN APOLOGY.

Owing to want of space, we have for
some time been compelled to carry over
to a later issue much valued correspond
ence and other important matter This
week we have more than usual. The
draft and other vital matters incident to
the war have demanded that we give
them much attention, because they are
so especially important to our readers.
We hope our friends will be patient.

BUILDING AND LOAN.

There was a time when the building
and loan association fiourished every.
where in the middle west. mo doubt
says the Burlington Hawkeye there
are very many who got the first
start. who got their homes throughthe
association, and who might never have
gotten home and might never have
made a start II it had not been for
the helpful building and loan associa-
tions. And then there came the era
of the saving bank and of life insur-
ance. New modes of providing for the
family were introduced The fraternal
society came into being and while fra
ternal societies such as Masonry exist

years. 1t seems that as these fratern-
al societies came into vogue and in
creased in popularity, the building and
loan began to wane in some localities.
In others it maintained it's firm hold
and continued to prove blessing to
the people. In some places. the saw
ings banks helped many to become
lhome-owners, and so mady the build
ing and loan less of an urgent need,
than it had formerly been
but of late the fact has been devel-
oped. that while we have more saw
ings banks than ever before and while
almost everybody is an active men,
her fone or more fraternal societies,
yet the building and loan society is
still needed in the land. There is a
Geld that has not been fully covered
by anything else, and it is the opinion
OF close observers, that these ssocia-
tons are to come into greater vogue
than ever before and are going to fill
want, to prove helpful in a manner
that has not been possible to any 9th
err organizations,
mo doubt, Burlington, which at one
time had a number of flourishing
building and loan associations, will
welcome the revival of these truly
helpful organizations, and will soon
again be proving their value and
helpfulness-"

JOHN M. PRICE.

Oskaloosa Times: The death of
John NJ. Price removes from our midst
one of Mahaska County's pioneers. 1t
also removes a familiar figure from
our city. His CHEEKY greeting will be
missed by his many friends. Mr.. Price
was one of those men who attract
friends to them by their genuine inter
est in others. He was keenly inter
ested in everything pertaining to the
welfare of the city and was an opti-
mist on the future of our community.
In fact optimism was his most not
able trait of character. He carried it
with him all through life. No problem
was so dark that he could not see
some brighter outcome. He had a word
of cheer foreverybody. He held out to
them a promise of a better day.
This cheerful optimism followed him
to the end. And it left it's impress on
his friends. We feel it even after he
has gone. 1t seems to tell up that he
has really found a brighter home. We
feel that when his friends shall have
crossed over they will meet him, with
a smile more radient, a welcome even
more cordial, and with the proof Wis
ible that his optimism was not in vain.

LIQUOR AND TOBACCO.

In a fiery speech in Congress last
week, Representative Raimey of Hin
OILS, declared, that if liquor AMI tobac-
co were taxed as they should be the
whole cost of the preparedness pro-
gram could be paid by these taxes.
He declared further that the reason
congress did not assess these arti-
cles as it should was because liquor
dealers and tobacco interests have
been able to influence many members
of congress, in both parties, against
the increases. The temperance work
ers were also partly responsible for
the failure to assess liquor in this
country as high as il should be, he
said.
"At present" Representative Rainey
said, I'VE get something over $780,
O0O, 900, year from the liquor and to-
bacco taxes. We ought to get at least
$500, 100000 a year from them. The
United States has lower tax rate
against these articles than any promi-
nent nation in the world had before

raised these taxes enormously since
the war started"
Mr.. Rainey declared that whisky
should be assessed something like 81
a gallon instead of S1.10 as at present
and that beer should be assessed
something over 50 barrel instead of
81 so as at present.
The trouble is, however, that
whenever we start to raise the tax
on liquor or the tax on tobacco. we
are Immediately confronted by for
midable opposition from two sources"
he continued. First, the manufac-
turers who are interested put up their
protest and influence many congress
men on both sides and then the pro
hibition leaders come forward with

AUTOMOBILES AND ROADS.

In the prosperous agricultural Sec
lions the average farmer is now be-
lever in road improvements, although
ten years ago he was opposed to them.
The change of opinion is doubtless
due in some measure to the growing
conviction that good read is useful
in business way, for hauling, but
there is now a much stronger reason
for the farmers interest in highway
betterments. Take Iowa, for in
stance. The latest registration fig
ures show that there are 191 ,697 au-
tomobiles in the state, or one for ev.
cry thirteen inhabitants. There is no
large city in the state and no center
of great wealth, SO the inevitable con.
clusion is that the farmers of the
state own most OF these automobiles
1t was not SO many. years ago that
these farmers opposed road building
as being of value only to a few rich
owners of motor cars. They are now
in favor of such improvements, and il
is a fair inference that the absence
of good roads is what convinced the
agricultural population of the value
of real highways. The farmer is like
any other man In wishing TO get the
most out OF life he can, and the in
fluenee of MUD and ruts is particularly
iIksome TO him if he is motorist.
