PICTURE MADE IN IDAHO NEAR
LEWISTON, COMING TO Or
PHEUM THIS WEEK

All of US were mighty glad to hear
the good news that Major Robert
Warwick had returned from France
and had resumed his screen career.
He proved in the war that he was the
same red-blooded hero in real life
that he is in his pictures.
Here's some more delightful It'd
ings.
Major Warwick is coming to the
Orpheum theatre on Thursday for a
two days run in 'Told in the Hills"
the picture he and his copmany made
last summer in the vicinity of Lewis
ton, Kamiah and Nez Perez. Does
the title sound familiar? Probably.
It's an adaptation of Marah Ellis
Ryan's novel, which has been a
steady seller at the bookstores for
thirty years.
You'll say it's one of the greatest
Western outdoors pictures you ever
saw. 1t was filmed in the mountains
and canyons of our own Idaho, and a
whole tribe of full-blooded Indians
take part. Ann Little, Wanda Haw-
ley, Eileen Percy, Tom Forman,

given to Mrs Grannis by an admiring
Roumanian peasant woman. And the

Life Far From Simple.
The life of Balkan courier is far
from simple. Railroads have been de-
stroyed everywhere. Bridges are lying
In the beds of streams. Roads in
many districts are morasses of mud.
Through the mountain districts roam
bands of comitadji who prey upon lone
travellers.
Mrs. Grannis has braved her way
through everything. When she cannot
take a train she uses a donkey, a
camionette, a cart drawn by water
buffalo. She is familiar with narrow
gauge railways that threaten to roll
off the mountains into gorges. She
knows the wheeze and strain of one
lunged river steamboat, painting
against a six-mile current. She can
cross q bridgeless stream on horse
back or with rowboat.
And with the nonchalance of a SUBJ
way straphanger she drops from one
mountain top to another on the swing
ing aerial cables left behind by the
enemy armies of occupation.

Sharon, Pa.-Ownership of a
hen worth 81, alleged by Sha-

neighboF, was decided by the
bird.
The neighbor, a woman, when
arraigned before Justice Hugh
Jones, declared the chicken be-
longed to her. Constable Harry
Calvin was directed by Justice
Jones to take the hen and re-
lease it some distance from the
homes of the plaintiff and de-

The chicken strutted off to the
plaintiffs yard. The defendant
was compelled to pay $3.50 costs.

Doom.

Amerongen. Holland.-It is reported
that the former German emperor has
so far recovered from fears of mo-
lestation that when he moves into his
new house at Doom, the Dutch police,
who have been constantly on guard
about the Bentinck castle here since
his arrival, will be relieved of duty.
There are no walls or meats about the
house of Doom, which is visible and

SALARY INCREASE.

The legislature has passed the sal,
ary increase bill for State officials and
! it has been railroaded through so that
it will be operative for the State Off.
GERS who are to be sworn in on Tues,
day.
There can be no doubt that salaries
of State officers were too low but we
do not know that we can endorse the
increase in the way it was made.
These gentlemen knew what the pay
was when they sought the position and
should have been willing to take it
and then let the increase be made for
the successors. But it is all right.
The increase will not materially affect
the total of appropriations and GER
tainly the pay the State was giving its
officers was niggardly. The idea OF
any man going over the State and
paying the cost of it, not to speak OF
the worry, seeking job that lasted
for only two years at an annudi sdi-
ary of $1,000 seems ridiculous. The
increase of s2,500 is not much but it
will help. Just how the State officials
have been able to meet living expenses
in Columbia on the salary is hard to
explain. They must Hooverize con-
|siderably.
We notice that Messrs. Evans and
Folk from Newberry voted against the
bill while Mr.. Mower is not recorded
as voting. In fact the bill was pass
ed by only 40 votes less than one-third
of the membership of the house and
only 81 against it, the total vote being
less than quorum.

lNFLu ENZA.

1t seems that the physicians and
scientists have been unable to under
stand or to treat successfully the lat
est disease called influenza. And es-
pecially to handle the complications
which follow the disease and which
are proving so fatal. Whole families
being wiped out and what the dis
ease does is done quickly. We noticed
in the Atlanta Constitution some days
ago that the physicians and scientists
who met in Chicago short time be-
fore had discovered serum which
would prevent pneumonia following
Influenza and that the serum was to
be distributed among the physicians
of Georgia. We have seen nothing
further of the results of the serum.
What we started to say was, how
ever, that if quarantine was worth
anything it seems to us the way to
make it worth while would be to put
on strict quarantine and one that
was in reality quarantine. There
can be little good, it seems to us, for
instance, in closing down the schools
and permitting the children to run at
large and to leave others to go and
congregate in stores and other places.
The only way for a quarantine to be
really effective is to close up every
place for stated period and require
every one to remain on his own prem
ises during the quarantine and to ex-
tend it to the entire State. Railroad
trains and stores are generally crowd
ed with a mixed population and many
times the ventilation is poor if any at
all. Give the people notice that such
a quarantine was to be put on so that
they might secure sufficient supply
of food to exist, and then see to it that
the quarantine was enforced. That is
the only sort of quarantine that would
be worth much if quarantine is good.
We suppose the State board of
health would have such authority. The
disease is more prevalent in the rural

There has been great improvement
in the road along by where Mr.. w.
E. Elmore lives and just before you
get to the old Kinard place by putting
some clay on that heavy sand bed that
was once the dread of the traveller
along this way. If the old split log
drag had been applied to the road as
needed it would be in fine condition.
And the same is true of the remainder
of the road all the way to Beth Eden.
The strange part of the whole matter
is that we talk and write volumes
about good roads and we fail to apply
the simple remedy that would do the
roads SO much real good and at a min
imum of cost. But we will not.

Speaker Thomas F. Cothran is a
mighty fine fellow and man Of ex-
cellent judgment and an experienced
legislator and we have no doubt makes
fair and impartial speaker of the
house of representatives. We have
known him long time and served
once with him in the legislature. This
much to show that what follows is
not captious and not meant to be
criticism at all. But somehow it
seemed to us little remarkable that
out of 124 members of the house he
should give chairmanships on several
committees to the same member in,
stead of passing these little honors
around, for in most cases the commit.
tees do not have anything to do and
some of them never meet during the
session. There are some twenty-five
or more committees, but in reality
only few of them are more than
nominal, and why he should have
made the same member chairman of
several committees struck us rather
remarkable.
Newberry county drew one chair
manship, that of railroads to Mr. H.
H. Evans. This committee sometimes
has many very important measures
before it, but in this day of govern
ment control of railroads there is not
much probability of many bills being

MANY SAD HOMES.

The terrible Influenza which is rag
ing over the country has taken
greater death toll than the war in Eu
rope. And it still goes on.
In many cases entire families have
been taken and in several homes sew
eral members of the same family. we
can not understand it all. 1t is not
for us to understand.
1t is always sad to us to read OF a
home that is just building being torn
asunder. Death is always sad but TO
see the head of home either father
or mother and sometimes both taken
away lust as the home is building and
with the bright prospect OF happy
life spread out before the young peo'
pie is peculiarly sad.
Two cases have come especially to
our attention in our own county IN the
past few days There may be and no
doubt are other cases similar.
Just last Saturday a week DR.. Sam
Carter of Mccormick who married a
Newberry girl only few years ago
and was just building home was laid
to his final rest in Rosemont. Just
one week after his wife at the same
hour was buried by his side. And we
learn that the little babe and the sis
ter of the wife who went to help nurse
are both very i'll.
On Saturday morning Mr.. Thomas
E. Chandler, a prosperous young farm
er Of the Beth Eden section, and a
good citizen and neighbor passed to
the great beyond and the wife is very
ill with the same disease For the
father who was more companion to
the son and the young wife our ten
derest sympathy goes out, but espe-
cially does it make us sad to look up
on the young son just beginning to
, know what father means and who is
not yet old enough to appreciate his
loss. and to this young Life, we feel
peculiarly drawn. But as Pastor Car
son said in the beautiful and touch
ing prayer which he delivered at the
funeral service which was held Sun
day afternoon at the Beth Eden
church. we must believe that there is
a wise and over-ruling providence who
doeth all things well, and while we
can not now understand the dispensa-
tion, yet some day it will be morning,
and Gods morning, and then we will
know and understand.
