farmer.

ARCADE
LENORE ULRICH AT ARCADE
Many types and kinds of Oriental
dancing are parfoimtd by the native
dancing women in Lenore Ulrich's new
Morosco-Paramount photoplay "The
Road to Ixve."
1 The scenes of the Fantasia, which
in taken from life and makes a fa
'dilating and highly romantic photb
i play that is the attraction at the Ar
cade theater today and tomorrow.
' The reality of Morosco-Paramount
photoplays never has been more suc
cessfully maintained than in the story
of the Algerian des.-rt, "The Ror.d to
Love," vith Lenore Ulrich as the star.
Gowns, ai ms, rugs, costumes and all
the paraphernalia of Algerian life
were secured from a wealthv Alp-nrian
play so important and critical at part who takes part in this picture play.

of this love story, are truly Oriental.
But more beautiful than any of the
native beauties, Lenore Ulrich in the
gauze and spangles of the celebrated
and much sought Hafsa, stages the
premiere dance of tho evening, a per
formance that has a very potent in
fluence on Hafsa's advenutrous ca
reer. It is a career, by the way, that
This native supplied the Algerian
dancers, musicians, camel drivers and
all the strange equipment of these
people. The sight of these desert
dwellers at their accustomed tasks
creates an air of genuineness that
adds an Oriental flavor to this strong
ly attractive love story of the near
east. t

I. A. Johnson, who staged an ex
hibition of strength at the Arcade
theater last evening certainly made
good in every sense of the word. Steel
horse shoes, steel bars, two and a half
leeks of playing cards, and steel
;hains were more playthings in his
bands. He also claimed to be able to
break a three-fourths inch Manila
rope by a straight pull but evidently
this statement was doubted as a seven-eighths
inch oiled rope was pro
duced from the audience. This did noU
bother "The Terrible Swede" as he
proceeded to break that rope much to
the gratification of the audience. To
top the climax, at the invitation of
Mr. Johnson IS of the huskiest men
of La Grande went up on the stage
and were lifted off the floor. Following
are the names and weights of most of
the men who were lifted: Harry Swart
260 pounds; Dick Melville, 195; Pat
Foley, 224; Bill Stoops, 255; Dick Kel
ly, 285; Chris Miller, 200; John Rog
ers, 225; Cass Humphrey, 260; Vic
Melville, 190; Bill G randy. 240; Mr.
Roberts, 200; Mr. Eckland, 160. These
weights come to 2694 pounds.
There were six other men whose
names or weight could not be learned
but they were all large men and it is
a certainty that Johnson was lifting
"some weight. Much merriment was
caused when, these gentlemen marched
down the aisle to take their place on
the stage as it seemed that the town
had been combed for heavyweights.
Mr. Johnson will give an exhibition
of wrestling with an unknown man
picked by C. 1). Km;-.hiscr. There is
a good deal of curiosity as to the
identity of the "Unknown" but the
management of tho Arcade has not
been enlightened on this subject and
the name has been kept a secret.
There will be only one exhibition and
that will be at S:"0 tonight, at the
end of the first show.

Storks.
Storks have one advantage. They
are born with bamboo legs, ready to
go fishing.
All a stork has to do to go fishing
is to stick his leg cut over a lake and
sit there. Of course, he can't shove
it in the mud and go off and leave it.
Still, no man who has ever herded a
flock of wild poles in a three quart
buggy over a bumpy road will deny
! that it is an advantage to go through
I'life with poles attached. Especially
' coming home. A sincere fisherman
has trouble enough herding himself,
coming home.
But here's another thing. Suppose
you got a whale on tho line. We can't
all be Jonahs, you know.
We guess we'll be satisfied with our
legs as they are.
A revolving fan small enough to be1
carried ia a pocket and operated by
pressing buttons with the thumb and
fingers is the invention of a Frenchman.
