Weston Potatoes
Show At Ontario

The First Annual Snake River VAL
ley Potato show will be held at On
tario September 20, 81 and %, and
Oregon and Idaho growers are eligi-
BILE to compete. Liberal prizes are
offered in four classes. Fred Ben
MON, Umatilla county agent, is en-
deavoring to interest Weston Noun
tain growers in making an exhibit
at this show. He says in letter to
the county agent at Ontario:
II think you can count on our hav-
ing number of entries in Class
Certified seed.) We had about 500
acres pass the first inspection on
Weston Mountain this year.
II believe that the Blue Mountain
sections Of this county are as well
adapted to potato seed growing as
any place in the Northwest. Jack
man declares that we have the largest
acreage of disease free seed Of any
place that he knows Of. ! do not
think there will be much difficulty in
getting some Of our growers to show
their spuds at your fair, although II
comes rather early. You see, our
seed potatoes are not planted until
about the 18th of June, which makes
them rather immature by the middle
of September and difficult to handle
without skinning."

The ClayiluX, or color organ, at the
Rivoli this week was described at its
recent introduction at the Neighborhood

carried the description in his head this

compartment. lent just the right touch
TO animate this silent music Now you
no longer have to worry over the mean
ing of the symphony the orchestra is
playing. It's significance is blocked out
before your eyes, making the harmonies
more beautiful and classical music more
easy.
Miss Gloria Swanson's photoplay is
one which any actress, let alone any
feminine spectator, would dote on, for
she is practically commanded TO wear
glamorous and expensive clothes. She
plays the wife of an aspiring bounder
who thinks that IL his wife has costly

1t may not seer>' likely that any woman
could actually carry a mans credit

there is much interest in watching
Gloria change from costume No. 16 to
No. II and guessing what the next one
will be.
The early part Of the story moves
slowly while Miss Swanson unwinds her
wardrobe But when the couple go to
Mexico to look at the oil wells of a
former lover for whom the husband is
using his wife as a decoy, bandit raid

CAPITOL - ..Cardigan." Messmore
Kendall production. adapted from the
novel by Robert w. Chambers and
directed by John w. Noble.
After seeing this Revolutionary fea-
ture one Is inclined to roar loudly, Fee,
70, fl, fun, smell the blood of an
English man." The picture lays hold OF
you so stirringly that you ins.inctiyely
look around for some tea to dump into
the harbof.
Most appropriately has this coiorfui
photoplay been chosen for Washington
Birthday week. for it brings graphically
before one the struggles which our
sturdy ancestors endured against white
and red foemen, and makes one ashamed
of complaining about the hardsbips OF
the subway. 1t was high time we had
a historical picture of this nature, In
which justice was done to the birth Oh

lures in which we have sect foreign
notables merrily engaged in whacking
heads off. And here You come to feel
that destiny wasn't wholly governed py
6 coquette who used her eyes to no
good end.
The photoplay would be worth while
il only because it serves to call TO mind
the time when Robert W. Chambers
wrote rafting good yarns. before ne
had taken to dissecting the state OF mind
Of fappers who drink perfume. His
tale of the young woodsman, adopted
son Of Sir William Johnson, who has
to choose between king and country, Is
stirringly put together. and for the
screen version the incidents have been
chosen with even more care than is used
in the Gambling of eggs. The picture
carries you along from Irritation TO
chase for life through the woods, from
burning at the stake by Indians to a
hand to hand struggle in the dark, from
an escape from Jail to the first conflict
OF the American rebellion, with a desper-
ate fight in a deserted house against the
usual heavy odds of ten to one, the only
Odds of course. that an American hero
of the Revolution would accept.
1t keeps the mere passive spectator
so busy catching his breath after each

the recuperative power of the hero,
which enables him to recover from one
crisis in Jig time in order to plunge into
the next. The history in the piece has

This might be called Guessing Con-

is likely to guess very far ahead at the
turns in this domestic problem, and the
patron who has seen the most movies
wills probably call the turn most often.
You can remember most of the things
about it, except under what name you
saw Il last.
You know as soon as you see Miss
Ethel Clayton as an efficient office
stenographer that she is going to marry
the handsome real estate agent, though
this is one of the few pictures in which
one can recall seeing real estate agent
rs something like hero. Likewise, you
know that she's going TO have trouble.
You sense IL as soon as you see her
looking over her three or four dresses,
while the young man who is to marry
her takes out dozen suits cut after the
spappiest mail order pattern.
AS soon as they marry on raise of

Of revelation, however, to find him
reciting Longfellow's poem In the sub
titles,
The battles of Lexington and Concord
have been done with good eye to pic
torial effect. and one of the signs or
their artistry is that some the minute
men are distinctly seen to fall, as well
as the British regulars--a fat contradic-
ton of the classical movie procedure
of having unerring American marksmen
come through unscathed. And the cap
ital fight in the garret, in which the
resourceful hero saves the abducted
heroine after several uncertain rounds,
is grated into those battles as though
1t belonged there.
One has some of the usual sense that
the fate of the whole American nation
seems to hang on one young head. But
that Is the customary handicap distance
one must concede to every historical
romance. William Collier. Jr.. looks
trihe young for the burden, but then he
is old enough to have outgrown the
name Of Buster Collier and to shave
every other day. SO why shouldn't he
wear sword and a wig and sets King
George III. about the ears? He looks
plausible anyhow, and he makes history
lively with a series of engaging love
quarres with SiiUer Heels. That part
is played very fetchlngly by a comely
and piquant young woman, Miss Betty
Carpenter, and from the very start
she'll fall right out of the window and
into your heart. The other players look
as if they didn't get into their pictur-
esque costumes by mistake.

ture with a novel and entertaining "ali
