Ethel Clayton Is Titled Woman
In "The Mystery Girl at Star

Ethel Clayton, one of the foremost
emotional actresses, plays titled
European lady in her latest Para
mount Picture, THE Mystery Girl"
which will be shown at the Star the
ater next Tuesday. Princess Ted"
of Lurania, the lady in question,
drives a motor ambulance on the wes-
tern front where she meets Captain
Barnes, an American army officer and
he falls in love with her.
Miss Clayton's skill as a driver of
motor cars stood her in good stead
in the ambulance driving scenes, and
she soon showed that she could han
die a big ambulance truck as easily
as she drives light racing car. Miss
Clayton's intrepid spirit was we'll
shown recently when she went west
to make Paramount Pictures and de-
cided to make the trip across country
in her motor car.
In the past several years her work
on the screen has gained he many
admirers, who find in her finished
acting and vivid personality a never
failing attraction. Her Paramount
pictures so far have been admirable
stories and her latest, THE Mystery
Girl is probably the best she has
done so far.
Its story, which combines romance
and drama, is from the facile pen of
George Barr McCutcheon, and in nov-
ell form it is known as Green Fancy"
The scenario version was made by
Marion Fairfax, and William C. De
Mile directed the picture.
Charles Schoenbaum, who did the
splendid camera work that distin-
guishes "The Mystery GIRL was also
responsible for the photography OF
Miss Clayton's two recent pictures,
The Girl Who Came Back" and
"Women's Weapons" Mr.. Schoen-
baum is an artistic blender of light
and shadow, with a keen sense of
dramatic values.

Many Farmers Take Up Accounting

One-day farm accounting courses
are now being given in Is states thru
the cooperation of the United States
Department of Agriculture and the
State agricultural colleges in farm
management extension work. The
primary object of these courses is to
interest the farmer in farm book
keeping as an essential to efficient
farm management. While the assis-
tance which the courses give in cal
culating farmers income tax is Of
great value, it is necessarily second
ary.
This is the first year in which this
method of introducing farm account
ing has been undertaken on such a
large scale. The schools are carried
on in cooperation with the county
agents. The one-day sessions are oc.
cupied with calculations made by far
mers themselves under the supervis-
ion of the instructor, and discussions
of such topics as the relative value of
various crops, the size of crop yields,
the quality and quantity Of live stock
for farm of given size, the size
of the fam business as whole, and
the farm layout, and the use of labor
all factors vitally affecting farm eff
ficiency.

Jury Finds Weeks Not Guilty Of As
sault and Battery.

A jury composed Of six men in JUS
tice Cornett's court on Tuesday af-
ternoon returned a verdict OF not
guilty in the case of Nancy Brundage
against Ralph Weeks. Weeks was
charged in the complaint of assault
and battery and the case grew out of
some trouble which Weeks and Bob
owen had had at Mrs. Brundage's 8
ranch. In the mix-up and when
Weeks had Owen on his back, Mrs.
Brundage, who is 80 years old, came
out and attempted to pull Weeks of
Of Owen, as was brought out by the
witnesses. She alleged that it was
at this time that she was struck by
Weeks and knocked down. Further
evidence convinced the Jury that
Weeks had his hands full with Owen
at the time and did not strike Mrs.
Brundage, but warded her of, when
she slipped and fell, sustaining
bruises. A number of character wit
nesses appeared and testified to the
good reputation which Mr.. Weeks
has always borne as law abiding cit
izen. Sam E. Van Vactor appeared
for the defendant while S. E. Notson,
district attorney, handled the states
case. The jury consisted of E. l..
Buekman, NJ. D. Clark, Phil Cohn,
John Hughes, A. S. Akers and A. L.
Ayers. Chas. Osmin and Dick Rob-
inette were witnesses to the entire
trouble, which happened on the 3rd
day Of last February.

crossing on Chase street. Now, Pat,
get busy and see if you can't get that
pile of brick and rubbish on the old
Palace hotel corner converted into
something useful, and thus perform
a real service to your town and coun-

HErPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH %. 1920
YOUNG SHEEP MAN
INFLUENZA VICTIM
Frank McCartan Found Near Black
Horse Canyon, Dead From Carbolic
Acid POisoning-Was Recovering
From Severe Sickness,

Frank McCartan, a native of Ire
land, and for three years a resident of
Morrow county, where he was engag-
ed in the sheep business, was found
dead just over the hill from Hepp-
ner, near the Black Horse canyon,
last Sunday by Mr.. Stout and his son.
Mr.. Stout and the boy were hunting
rabbits and came across the body of
young McCartan.
Coroner M. l.. Case was Immediate
ly called and upon investigation it
was found that McCartan had come to
his death through carbolic acid pois-
oning administered by his own hand
with suicidal intent. This was the
verdict of the coroner's jury. 1t is
estimated that the man had been dead
nearly two weeks. He was last seen
in Heppner on March 4.
The body will be shipped to New
York, according to instructions re-
ceived here, where he has relatives.
Mr.. McCartan had been very sick
man when he was taken down with
the influenza several weeks ago and
doctors and nurses found it a hard
task to keep him in bed. He was ap-
parently worrying over his sheep bus
mess TO some extent. He and his
partner, Mr.. Petit, were running a
bunch of sheep in the lower sand
country. He was considered a shrewd
business man, an entertaining CONVEX
sationalist and a likeable and trust
worthy man in every respect and his
departure is mourned by those who
knew him.
He leaves an interest in his sheep
business and also a $4,000 insur-
ance policy which he had only re-
Gently taken out.

The thing most needed in the pro-
duction of work horses for American
farms is greater care in the selection
of the stallion and the brood mare,
say animal husbandry experts Of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture who have been studying the pre-
sent situation with respect to horses.
Not only was there a net decrease Of
approximately 373,0CS in the number
of horses on farms on January l,
compared with year ago, but the ex
perts are of the opinion that there
has been an even more marked de-
crease in the number of mares bred
during 1919. The extent Of this de-
crease can not be accurately deter
mined until the colt crop of 1920 Is
estimated. However, if the decline
in breeding is as great as conditions
now indicate, the country will be con-
fronted with a seriously depleted sup
ply of good horses within the next
few years.
Many farmers are using up their
work stock without making any pro-
vision for the future. Such a policy
is short-sighted and will have serious
results, according to Department of
Agriculture representatives. The
present need is to in crease the per-
centage of efficient horses by careful
selection of parents. One of the prin-
cipal factors from which the market
is suffering is the breeding Of too
many low-grade work animals. There
is a strong demand for high-grade
horses, at good prices, the depart
ment says.

AN EASTER OFFERING

Great Master thou didst come to
earth
As humbly as the Potter's child,
While shepherds watched beside the
hearth,
With songs of rapture time be-
guided.
Twas written in the starry dome
That doubling worlds might see
And welcome to his earthly home
A Savior, "He Iwho was to be. I"
The centuries have come and gone,
All nations worship at your
shrine,
The fight is Ger, the victory won,
And will be for all coming time.
When Easter warns each Christians
heart,
And lilies on the Affairs lay,
Great Master bid my doubts depart,
May all who worship, learn to
pray.
