THE fo:rum
The schemes and piot3 of a woman j
without heart are portrayed in Will
iam Fox's newest photoplay, "Jeal-1
ousy," in which Valeska Suratt plays
the leading role. It is the story of a '
discontented woman, who tries to find
happiness by forcing men to love her;
but she is crushed and helpless in the
end. . t
Anne Baxter (Miss SurattJ marries
Peter Martin (Walter Law) against!
her will. Later she finds that the
man she had loved, Roland Carney
(Curtis Benton) is living happily with j
his own wife, Agnes (Charline May
field), and Anne decides to break up
the peace and quiet or tneir nome.
She tries first to make Roland sus
picious of his wife, but her efforts i n
this direction meet with failure. Her
direct attack, on Roland's own heart,
meets with more success. She gives
him a tip on the stock market, and he
follows it. But Peter has learned
what his wife ia doing, and he punish
es her and Carney at the same time,
by ruinng Carney
In the end, Martin goes to Anne and
tells her that he has known her tac
tics from the beginning. He leaves
the house, as Anne falls senseless to
the floor.

j Imliier, Ore., Jar.. 27, 1017. (To the

I ly agree with Mr. Dyal. There is
jmoie truth, than imagination in his
j assertion. Basins? his arguments up
! on the fact that we are short of pro
duction, we would naturally ask the
I question why? It is true beyond the
' power of successful contradition that
, there must be a cause. No offense
j intended I fail to see where Mr. Gar
rick has a just reason for stating that
I Mr. Dyal 'a statistics are utterly un- j
j reliable. They are absolutely correct .
'and I might add that a few references
i to some of our agricultural reports .
will convince most of us that we have,
j not made even a casual investigation I
j of the subject in hand. Mere assert
jtions do not prove anything and sar- j
' casm never defeats facts. We are all ;
' capable of judging between inflated J
sophistic bombast and logic, but a lit
tle airing and brushing always takes
iaway the mold, removes rubbish and
! gives things a brighter hue. No one

I when it comes to the preservation of
our soil. We in the Grande Ronde are

I would be compelled to think more ser

I jest that we imported from Germany
j in 1013 $13,347,341 worth of Kanit,
potash and salt. We increase that to 1
$lfi,803,237 in 1914. Statistics are the
only recourse we have to go to and it
will take a man possessed of more in
genuity than Mr. Garrick to belittle
them to where we will feel more safe
j in placing our confidence in mere as

a matter before he hoars it, is not

to live on 10 or 15 cents worth of

Germany or any other nation because
they have the whip hand and we are
dependent. It is our easy going wa"ys
and our failure to be aroused to the
necessity of doing something for our
selves. If we could see that Amer

present generation must do something
to safeguard the future I feel that
we would take a greater interest in
ourselves and our development. It
will take possibly years for us as a
people to wake up to our obligations.
In this I may be wrong, but for

might as well get back to the point
and say that we are not farming
enough, that we are failing to produce
the required amount and that there is
a reason for it; even though we have
to have our attention called to it by
a man who is not farming. Let us
investigate this matter a litle further

God Gave You Health. Thank
Him For It. Go to Church.
OME people never think of God until a loved
one is ill or a great trouble besets them.
Then they seek the SOLACE OF RELI
GION". A clergyman is called in, and
praver3 are said at the bedside for the loved
one's recovery. Godis MERCIFUL, and
ofttinies these prayers are answered, and
the loved one recovers.
IT IS NOT FAIR TO GOD, HOWEVER,
TO ASK HIM TO REMEMBER YOU WHEN
YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN HIM. WHEN EV
ERYTHING IS GOING ALONG SMOOTHLY
AND THE WORLD LOOKS BRIGHT SOME
MEN FORGET THERE IS A CCD. THEY
NEVER GO TO CHURCH. WHILE THEY WILL RESENT THE
CHARCE THAT THEY WOULD OPENLY OFFEND GOD, THEY
OFFEND HIM DEEPLY BY NOT GOING TO CHURCH. THE SUC
CESSFUL MAN SHOULD GO TO CHURCH TO THANK GOD FOR
HIS WORLDLY GIFTS. THE SUPREME BEING GAVE HIM ALL
HE HAS LIFE, HEALTH, HAPPINESS AND HE SHOULD THANK
HIM FOn THEM.
Tlr.mks to I lie GO TO CHURCH movement, there has been
a rclijiioin nwakenin.ir over the land. 'RELIGIOX NEVER WAS
DKA1). All th.it it required wag a stimulus, and that stimulus
wr.s piovided by the GO TO CHURCH campaign. It should not
be m-i'cs.-iii-y to urge men to GO TO CHURCH. There isn't an
argument that can be advanced by any man who believes in God
in favor of staying away from church". Take uway the churches
;ind you . ill have a condition bordering on anarchy.
The man who GOES TO CHURCH is prepared to MEET
ANY CRISIS, moral, physical or financial. His faith in a Su
preme Being sustains him in the most severe trials.
