Indications Point to Severe
Gasoline Shortage in Summer

Present indications point to a Sc
we're shortage of gasoline this sum
mer, and right now here in Heppner,
this shortage is quite noticeable.
Ten days ago there was scarcely a
gallon of gas to be had. The situ-
alton WAS somewhat relieved when
ten thousand gallon tank was re-
ceived here and one of like capacity
in lone. Since the first of the week,
this oil has been practically sold out
Certain reservations are being made
for truck men and farmers who are
doing tractor work, Geo. W. Milhol-
land, local agent for the Standard
Oil Company says that most people
do not fully Nrealize the seriousness of
the gasoline situation today, or they
would be more saving. 1t is his
opinion that a shortage exists in this
territory right today that may not
be overcome this summer.

Film Fans Admire
Hart's Qualities

Virility, the breezness of the
West, the qualities of manhood that
inspire admiration, are the strongest
traits of William S. Hart, whose la
test Aircraft picture, Breed of Men
will be shown at the Star theater
next Friday.
During his screen career, Mr.. Hart
has depicted Western types of every
description--bad men, punchers
woodsmen, ranchers, etc. His re.
markably forceful personality i'm
parts a realism to his acting that
lifts 1t out of the commonplace and
renders is distinctly superior and
convincing.
His new picture offers great op-
portunities for the famous star, for
the role he portrays is that of posi-.
tive daredevil among cowpunchers
man who is afraid of nothing. He
is involved innocently in great
wrong which he righted, finally after
some strenuous work. Seena Owen
is his leading woman.

PURE WOOL BILL MEETS
UP WITH OPPOSITION
"Truth-in-Fabric" Bill Does Not Suit
Manufacturers-Wil Attempt to
Defeat Measure.

Washington, May 4.-The truth.
in-fabrics bill' introduced by Burton
L. French, representative of Idaho
and likely to be favorably reported
by the house committee on interstate
and foreign commerce, has stirred
woolen manufacturers and several
scattering clothing dealers to active
opposition.
A publicity campaign has been
launched to defeat the French bill
which would compel cloth manufac-
turers to stamp on each piece of cloth
the percentage of virgin wool con.
tanned and the amount of shoddy, il
any. The same requirement is pro-
vided in the bill as to ready-made
suits on sale in the stores.
Answering criticism of his bill Of
fered by manufacturers and mer-
chants, Representative French says;
1T is, of course, apparent who the
ones are who are opposed to the bill.
They are not the consuming public,
but they are the ones who are hand
ling wooden fabrics that the public
cannot know as to the contents of
virgin wool and shoddy. Their argu-
ments against the bill are the stock
arguments that are made against
the pure food and drug law, the oleo-
margarine law, and every other law
that has sought to protect the public
from the unscrupulous.
Zone dealer says that there would
be great difficulty in the marketing
that is the mechanical process.
I'VE showed to the committee by
abundant evidence that this is not
correct. Some manufacturers are to-
day branding and marking their fab
rics to show their trade marks, to
show their firm name, or to show the
contents of the fabric. We showed
the committee that the cost would
be approximately one-fifth cent per
yard, or in other words, less than one
cent for a suit of clothes.
Another merchant says that it
will not drive down the prices of clo-
thing, but that it will increase it. For
the time being it probably would in
crease the price of virgin wooden
clothing, but unquestionably it would
drive down the price of all other
woolen and partly wooden clothing
for the reason that this other cloth
ing is being sold at virgin wool pri-
ces, and the public would not know
ingly pay virgin wool prices for shod-
dy clothing. Portland Oregonian.

Wallace Reid In 1.-THE Dub"
At the Star Next Sunday

Wallace Reid's new Paramount
picture, "The Dub" is the story OF
man who made good. One man
sees him finch in a trivial test OF
his nerves and decides that he is a
coward. The narrative shows in
swiftly moving dramatic incidents
how he proved he was no weakling

Star theater next Sunday,
John Craig is the hero 1t is a
splendid Reid part and brings out
the best aspects of courage and man.
hood Caught in a tight place, Craig
refuses to be downed. Beaten, he
refuses to acknowledge it, and he
comes back for more punishment,
solving a mystery and winning a
beautiful girl in the bargain.
The story was written by Edgar
Franklin and directed by James
Cruze, who has proved many times
both as actor and director that he
has keen sense of comedy and the
dramatic.
The support is excellent. Pretty

Aircraft and Paramount pictures has
won her many admirers has the lead

Work, Save or Starve Is Warning of
Ole Hanson.

Chicago, May 4.-"Work and save
or starve," was the warning given
here by Ole Hanson, former mayor OF
Seattle, and the man who made the
|. w W, jump though the hoops at
a critical time in the history of Sc.
attle.
"The cause of unrest that is not
bolshevism," he said, "is caused by
the large amount of wealth destroy
ed during the war. The remedy for
this is unity of purpose on the part
of all our people. Everybody must
work and save, or starve."
Speaking briefly of politics as he
observed conditions throughout the
country he predicted a dark horse
would be nominated at Chicago, one
whose name has not yet been made
public.
Conditions Throughout the coun
try" he continued, "indlcate that
people want to buy goods at 1914
prices and sell them at 1920 prices
In other words, profiteering is the
trouble.
Il have no antagonism or hatred
for the labor unions, but the ten
dency throughout the country is tc
restrict production in order to gel
high wages. This is apparent in the
South, where cotton planters are be-
ing told they can get more for Q
two-third acreage than they can fol
full crop.

less he does the more he will have
