"The Revolt," Strong World Picture
A life of luxury, with swell gowns
and brilliant jewels or a modest lit
tle home and a babe? Which would
you choose. That is the question put
up to Francis Nelson in "The Re
volt." Needless to say, she chooses
the latter, and can you blame her
when the "he" i3 Arthur Ashley? But
that was only the beginning of their
troubles. Anna, eg she is called in
the picture, had a stepmother, one
with a lax code of morals, and who
would rather see her stepdaughter
magnificently gowned and the pet of
some none too scrupulous individual
than in the arms of a home-loving
and honest man. This is not a play of
the usual triangle variety, but one I
with unusually original denouement

THE FORUM
ON THE CAT QUESTION
La Grande, Ore., April 19. (To
the editor) I note by the evening
paper that it is recommended that an
ordinance be passed placing cats on
the same basis as dogs, end making
them wear bells suspended from their
necks to protect the birds and prevent
disease. Just what disease will the tax
and bell prevent and how are the
rats, mice and moles to be disposed
of? Certainly not by the cat that
wears the bell.
Signed One who does not own a
cat but who does own a home which
she does not wish infested by filthy
rats ana mice.
Bird Hcuse Contest.
Tho 'Bird House contest has been
extended until tho first of May be
cause of the late spring, a number of
the contestants petitioned the judges
to extend the contest so that - they
could go out in the woods for their
materials. There are a large number
who are building bir houses and the
results when announced will surprise
many.
Needs to be conserved as well
as the many other things we
are urged to save. After de

other supplies she can't make
