JOHN BARLEYCORN.
Temperance Sermon Given by Mov

Autobiographic Story.
From the realism in the presenta
tion, from the breadth of scope, from
the cutting directness from each step
to the next, Jack London's Story
"John Barleycorn" as presented in a
local motion picture house this week
ranks as one of the greatest temper
ance lessons ever given in La Grande.
The story is not aoout the usual

his money from his writings went
to repay the bartender, and then to
treat the boys. He saddened the
girl's pleasure over his success by
bringing "Barleycorn" with him when
he told her. But she forgave Jack,
and married him. And with Jack she
took "Barleycorn." London found
that he was more brilliant in society

met "The Girl" a good girl. Under
her inspirations he studied for col

To rest himself he bade the girl good
bye and started off for a cruise
around the bay. He fell in with
some of his former friends and with
them was "Barleycorn."
