The widow is supported by her son Davy, who is a famous Indian fighter, hunter and trapper. Eleanor often accompanies Davy when ho goes to inspect his traps. One day Eleanor stirs his imagi nation by rending to him the roman tic story of Lochinvnr. As she reads the vision materializes before Davy's eves and the imDression of the knightly conduct of this hero' leads afterwards to a great event in their lives. Eleanor and her father go on a visit to England leaving Col. Royston, a life-long friend in charge. The Col onel's only weakness is a fondness for cards and during their absence he loses more than he can pay. Hard pressed he forges the absent Vnughn's name to a note. Vaughn dies at sea and Crampton, the holder of the note bo comes aware of the forgery. By threats of exposure he coerces Roys ton into helping his nephew, Neil Sherry's Announcements. Harold Lockwood and May Alli son, without question one of the most popular stellar combinations now appearing on the screen, will be seen here at Sherry's today in "The River of Romance," a five-part Metro wonderplay, produced by the Yorke Film corporation, one of the Metro's newest producing companies.

GRAIN YIELD FAIR Results to Wallowa Farmers Likely to be larger Thnn I,ast Year While the grain yield of Wallowa county does not promise to equal that of last year in quantity or qual ity, the results in dollars and cents probably will be greater, declares the Enterprise Chieftain. Wheat has been nbovo $1.20 a bushel for more than a week and many persons count on it going to $1.50. That will make a market at high prices for every kernel of grain the county can spare. The chief adverse factor this year is found in the dry weather last autumn and the backward spring louowing. farmers did not get in managed, and there is some good barley. Paradise, Lost Prairie, Grouse, Eden, Promise and the benches of the Grande Ronde valley report fair yields, particularly at the lower levels. On the intermediate benches 30 bushels probably is more like the figure, and at the top levels there is wheat that will not run quite that good. Winter wheat has been put in already on the lower Paradise benches, and it stands five inches or so above the ground, giving a fine promise of a crop next year. The hills east of Enterprise had a more than fair prospect a few weeks ago, and many fields will turn out 35 bushels or better, but the quality may not be of the best in all cases. However it will be good enough to command a high price on the present market. Thresh ing is just starting there. There is considerable smut m some parts of the north end. With careful threshing this can be han dled so as not to cut the price, Rid Your Child of Worms. Thousands of children have worms that sap their vitality and make them listless and irritable.

The Temperance Movement in France In a time when the very existence of the French nation depends upon the sobriety of its people, it required a years struggle to win from the cabinet temperance legislation which simply forbids the sale of spirituous drinks and wines containing more thnn 15 per cent of alcohol to women, l- M .1 J 1 . 1 " . . .

Rains throuirh the summer kept the grain green, and much of it is still standing, and good harvest weather is probably toward a close. There also was a light frost late in August.
