"FATTY" ARBUCKLE, 8TAR IN PARAMOONT-ARBUCKLE COMEDIES ARC A DE The Antic of Arbuckle at Their Best Visions of anticipatory joy conjured into mind at the mere thought of Ros coe "Fatty" Arbucklo in the rolo of an ardent lover in tho unromantic at mosphere of a grocery store and amid tho sacred precincts of a girls' sem inary will only be surpassed in happi ness by tho realization of seeing his latest two reolor, "Tho Butcher Boy," tho first comedy made by tho merry movie minstrel in business for Para mount and which will bo at the Ar cado Friday and Saturday. On tho authority of no less a personage than Mr. Arbucklo himself, this is the most hilarious picture the star-director has yet appeared in.

"Buster" Keaton, anothor employee, contributes to the gaiety. Statues of Fatty. MARIE DORO IN "CASTLES FOR TWO. "I want it emphatically understood that I am not afraid of a cow," smiled Marie Doro, the charming Lanky star as she sat at lunch under a tree during the noon-day pause while filming some exterior scenes for "Castles for Two" the Lasky-Para- mount production in which she will be seen at the Arcade tonight. I may be afraid of toads and snakes, but I am not afraid at cows as 'Castles for Two' tries to show, and I am making this statement to tho world so that this gross libel will be offset. "I like my part in 'Castles for Two,' because I not only have an opportun ity to wear some beautiful clothes, but when I was posing as an Irish servant, we had some lovely times, on ocation. Of course the water was cold when I went wading, but it al ways seems so panicky to come out m to the woods and play around in front of the camera, and lay out the lunch under some wide-spreading tree. "Now! must go back and climb that tree once more. , On Friday night there will be given away at tho Arcade two statues of Fatty Arbuckle. On Saturday two will be given away. These statues are ia perfect imnge of Fatty and will bo la fine souvenir. See them on display 'in several store windows. On Satur jday afternoon two statues will be ' given to the children.

Under Northwest News Astoria, Ore., May 15. (United Press) why wait for a submarine? The gunners on a foreign steamer ar riving here the other day grew tired of waiting for one of Kaiser Bill's under water boats, so practiced at whales along the coast. One whale near the Oregon coast was "tickled" tnree out of five times. Tacoma, Wash., May 15.

(United Press) The call of spring was too much for a score of students at the Puyallup high school. They kid napped their teacher 'tis said, a pretty miss and spent the day at Maple wood spring, a gamboling o'er the green. And oh, the fragrance of the May flowers; the buzzing bee; the bugging leaflet oh, la, la. But to day great gobs of grief these self same students are marching before the principal with funeral step, ex plaining why they shouldn't be ex pelled. Portland, Ore., May 15. (United Press) "What do you mean by fly ing the German flag?" demanded the broadshouldered policeman on the front porch of Mrs. A. D. Goodfellow, 390 Jefferson street. "Where do you seo a German flag?" she asked. "Right here," answered the cop, and he pointed to a flag hanging from the porch of the Goodfellow home. "We've had several complaints that a German flag was hung from this house and this is a German flag all right." He ordered her to take down the flag. She refused, advising the officer to go somewhere and find out wha a German flag looks like. The banner v;as the British flag and is still flying from the Goodfellow porch. Misoula, Mont., May 15. (United Press) Local authorities are stumped. They arrested August Siroppcl on a charge of grand larceny, and Siroppel can't read or write. He can't even un derstand ordinary sign language. For 30 years Missoulians have known him as "the Dummy." The authorities are trying to find some way to pros ecute Siroppel, but "the Dummy" probably does not even know why he is arrested. It is impossible to ex plain the nature of the charge against him, or to arrange for him to enter a plea. He had $5 and a watch, al eged to have been stolen, on his per son when arrested. There's only one person who can converse with Sirop pel. He's Robert Frederichs, state university of Montana student, now with tho aviation corps in far-off Texas. Astoria. Ore.. Mov 15.
