Poverty of Riches" Is
A True-to-Life Story
Photoplay Version Of Leroy Seott's
Story, "The Mother" Admirably
Acted by All-star Cast I'm
der Direction Of X. Barker

The new Goldwyn picture coming
to the Star Theatre, for Monday and
Tuesday is the Reginald Barker pro-
duetion, Poverty Of Riches" photo
play version of Leroy Scott's story,
"The Mother" 1t is a simple tale Of
two families, lifelong friends, and
the joys and sorrows that their diff
ferent attitude toward the facts Of
life brings. One of the young hus-
bands is ambitious for power beyond
all thought of rearing a family. Al
though he and his wife love children,
he is always afraid that he cannot
give them every luxury that he miss
ed in his youth. Their friends do
not wait until they become wealthy
in order to find their happiness. They
find it in their youth in their love for
each other and for their children.
In Poverty of Riches" the devel-
opment Of the two families is traced
side by side, and the real joys of the
less financially successful family is
poignantly contrasted with the hol-
low satisfactions that follow upon the
business success of their friends. 1t
is noteworthy that in this picture the
tragic note was not de-stepped to
make a conventional happy ending;
for, as in life, the time comes when
the wealthy husband feels that he can
afford to have children. But it is too
late; and the irony of following the
false God of gold instead of the true
guide of love is brought home to him
with overwhelming power.
The picture is told simply and
straightforwardly. 1t is splendidly
put together and shows the excellent
direction of Reginald Barker. More
over, an all-star cast that lives up to
that description, gives a faultless
performance. Leatrice Joy and Louise
Lovely are the two young wives;
Richard Dix and John Bowers, their
husbands. So excellent an actress as
Irene Rich plays for the first time
the minor role of an old lady. Other
well known players in the cast are
Dewitt Jennings, Dave Winter, Roy
Laidlow, John Cossar, frankie Lee,
Dorothy Hughes and a kindergarten
of delightful children.

ELKS HOLD ANNUAL
LODGE Of SORROW
The Usual Interesting Program Civ
en- Sunday Afternoon in Honor Of
Departed Brothers. - Hon. Bruce
Dennis Is Speaker.

Hon. Bruce Dennis Of La Grahde
was the speaker at Elks temple Sun
day afternoon when Heppner Lodge
No. 1853 held their annual lodge of
sorrow and memorial services. Mr..
Dennis is an orator of ability and Is
often called on to deliver addresses
of this nature. He was in his best
form Sunday, when he took rather
divergent path from the set form
Of memorial address, feeling that It
was not necessary to launch into any
detailed history of the order and
what ii stands for. He touched upon
present day tendencies and perils
as he called them, showing that sin
tolerence" was fast becoming a ma
tional peril. Elks we're urged to study
all these problems now confronting
US. Another peril the speaker touch
ed upon was the breaking down Of
home life in America, and this was
to be regretted. In the main he held
up high ideals to be followed, and urg-
ed his lodge brothers to be leaders
along all lines of uplift.
A number of members of Heppner
lodge have passed during the year,
and the roll call revealed the follow
ing: E. L. Freeland, The Dalles;
Louis Pearson, Salt Lake; Robert W.
Sperry, lone; ]. B. Natter and James
Kenny Of Heppner.
The program, besides the address,
was as follows:
Voluntary, Mrs. Walter Moore.
Solo, "Vale," Miss Velma Case
Opening ceremonies of lodge.
Prayer, W. o. Livingstone.
Piano duet, "Stabat Mate" Mrs. Roy
Missildine, Mrs. Walter Moore.
"Thanatopsis," Miss Violet Merritt.
Closing ceremonies of the lodge.
Benedietion, W. o. Livingstone.

Burkhart & Co., Novelty
Entertainers, Were Here

A fair sized audience greeted Burk-
hart & Co., novelty entertainers, at
the high school auditorium on Sat-
urday night, when these people ap-
peared in Heppner under the aus
pices of the Patron -Teachrs associa-
ton. The company is composed Of
Mr.. and Mrs. o. NJ. Burkhart and Mr..
and Mrs. o. N. Mullikin, and they
present a real novelty entertainment.
Both Mrs. Burkhart and Mrs. Multi
kin, who are sisters, perform well on
the piano, and Mrs. Burkhart is a
ventriloquist Of much ability and this
part of her entertainment was we'll
received. Mr. Burkhart is a whistler
who must be put In the professional
class, and he gave rare exhibition
of initiating birds and solos with
piano accompaniment.
Mr.. Mullikin is a eornetist and rem
dered number of difficult solos on
that instrument, of which he is a
master. Mr.. Mullikin Is also a band
leader of much experience. and with
his family would like to be located
in some good town where they need
a band. He will be ready to take
hold of work of this kind immediate
ly after the first of the year, as he is
giving up work on the road at that
time. His wife is also teacher Of
piano, and it may be suggested that
they would be pretty good people to
induce to locate in Heppner, as both
band leader and piano teacher are
needed here. Anyone interested in
taking up this matter with Mr.. Mul-
likin can reach him at Forest Grove,
Oregon, their present place of resi-
dence.

u. Of @. Extension Ser
vice Used By Many

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu-
gene. Dec. approximately $4,000
persons have been reached by the
visual instruction service Of the I'm
iversity Of Oregon Extension Divi-
sion thus far this year, according to
report made by Earl Fitzpatrick,
director. Two hundred communities in
Oregon now use the slide service Of
the Division, many of them regularly,
while 81 communities make use of
the film service.
Rural schools and communities are
making use of the slide service more
generally each year., said Director
Fitzpatrick, "and this is one Of the
most valuable Of pedagogical helps
that have been made available to the
rural schools in recent years."
The slide library Of the Extension
Division has been gradually built up
since 1916, so that only few Of the
extension divisions of American un-
iversities have better or larger lib
raries.
Glasses In the Portland Circle CIV
en- under the direction of the Exten-
sion Service has proved very profit
able. Four thousand eighty-two Read
ing Circle papers have been read
during the year 192l-l922. During the
past ten months the University has
arranged for the appearance of many
speakers at community meetings and
gatherings, teachers institutes and
commencements. This service has
reached more than $4,000 persons,
according to Director Kilpatrick's re-
port,

ARLINGTON -HEPPVER.
STAR ROUTE MOVES
Indications Now Point TO Early Ad-
yertising Of Star Route for Bids.
Suggestions Made In Letter Of 4th
Assistant Postmaster General.

While there has been no move as
yet to call for bids on the carrying
of mail over the Willow Greek High
way on what is designated as the
Arlington -Heppner Star Route. the
matter is moving along and has the
attention of the postoffice depart
ment at Washington.
We are informed by Postmaster
Smead that he is getting some pretty
good estimates as to what the cost
Of this service will be. and feels
that when bids are called for such
figures will be presented to the de-
partment that they will be justified
in establishing the new service for
the delivery of first class mail and
newspapers to Heppner and all way
points along route.
Postmaster Smead this week re-
ceived the following letter from II. H.
Billing, fourth assistant postmaster
general, containing suggestions that
the department has to offer:
Washington, D. C. November q, 1922
The Postmaster, Heppner, Ore.
My Dear Sir;--
With reference to the establish
ment Of a star route from Arlington
to your Office by way of Cecil, Morgan,
lone and Lexington, it seems quite
evident that the best arrangement Of
the daily service which you seek
would be for the carrier to leave
Arlington as early as possible after
the arrival of trains Nos. 5 and %.
1t is noted that under the schedule
Of the bus company which you for
warded the driver does not leave
Arlington until 900 A. NJ. and he
arrives at Heppner about noon. The
return trip at 4:0O P. NJ, shown in the
schedule of the bus company, would
do very well, but there appears to be
no postal necessity for two round
trips a day, since the trains provide
morning dispatch, from Heppner and
an afternoon receipt.
If you can give assurance that a
suitable bid is obtainable under a
schedule calling for departure from
Arlington early in the morning and
from Heppner at 400 p. NJ, we
would he willing to issue an adver-
tisement for such service.
1t may be that you can induce the
bus company to change its schedule
so as to leave Arlington at 700 A. M.,
which would bring the mail to your
Office about 10000 A. NJ. Or it might
be that you can find some person
who would be willing to submit a bid
under a schedule requiring the carr
ier to leave Arlington on receipt Of
mail from trains Nos. 8 and "a, with
the understanding that he would
take the mail from the station. Under
such arrangement mail would be de-
livered at your Office about $500 A. M.
II is believed, however, that the
most feasible plan would be to induce
the bus company to fix their hour
Of leaving Arlington at 1900 A. M.
and state the lowest amount for which
they are willing to perform seven
round trips a week under schedule
similar to the one outlined above.
On receipt of your reply the matter
will be given further consideration.
Respectfully yours,
H. II. BILLING,
Fourth Assistant Postmaster
Genl.

GRAY Winter Hits Heppner.

Heppner is experiencing real win
ter weather this week. 1t began
showing here in earnest on Saturday
evening and during the night there
was a fall of about 8 inches. This
has been added to steadily since by
spurts of showing until now there is
we'll nigh foot of the beautiful,
with more coming. The weather has
been just cold enough so that the
snow has not melted. 1t has fallen
on unfrozen ground and we learn
that all over the wheat fields there is
about the same amount as at Hepp-
ner. all Of which is mighty good for
the growing crop, insuring protec-
ton from freezing as well as lot
of moisture. Reports are that the
storm is quite general over the Ore
gon and Washington country, and we
may have repetition Of what was
experienced early last winter. No
zero weather has been reported here
yet.
