SEAT SALE STARTS TODAY AT 12
Today the seats will go on sale
for D. W. Griffith's latest spectacle,
"Intolerance," the attraction for Sat
urday and Sunday at the Arcade.
None of the scats for the matinees
will be reserved but all the seats for
each evening performance will be re
served. Nothing comparable to this produc
tion in size, novelty end entertaining
qualities ever has been shown upon
any stage, it is said. Amazing mag
nitude and even moro amazing detail,
a revolutionary method of presenting
four stories almost simultaneously,
and the most gigantic settings ever
erected for a theatrical production,
are some of the most impressive fea
tures of this spectacle. So interesting
and important is its theme, love's
struggle throughout the ages, that
prominent newspapers throughout the
country have discussed it and praised
it editorially.
Six months at the Liberty theatre,
New York, and long runs in Chicago,
Philadelphia, San Francisco, Lo; An
geles and Pittsburg, testify to the
popularity of this new creation.

A large Red Gross banner whipping
in the wind from a team car yester
day afternoon was carried over all
the principal roads and lanes between
hero and Cove. Everywhere the hon
ored bunting was recognized and in
many instances men and women sa
luted the red and white as the car
passed. It was a splendid money
getter and the general committee
commended those who conceived the
idea.
Mrs. Honan Heads List.
With that generosity which long
since signaized her as a philanthropic
lady and of the type of citizenship
that is behind all worthy moves with
commendable force, Mrs. F. M. Honan
yesterday contributed $500 to the Red
Oross fund. Another striking dona
tion yesterday which ranks as second
highest up to noon today was a gift
of $400 by La Grande Chapter No. 9
Royal Arch Masons last evening.
These two excsptionally large gifts
went far to throw new vim into the
campaign, and the city at largo is
proud of the gifts and the givers.
Wrestling Fans Generous.
Another outsanding incident of the
campaign yesterday was a contribu
tion of $85 obtained by "passing the
hat" at the wresting match at the Ar
cade theatre last evening. The lnrge
audience tossed in the silver with
reckless abandon and the results were
more liberal than even that prince of
sanguine fellows, J. Garfield King,
had dared hope for.
Several Hundred Dollar Gifts.
Several hundred dollar gifts were
contributed the first day. By tomor
row or the day after the Observer
will publish a list of givers of the
larger amounts.
Volunteers Give Gift
Last evening Rescue Hose company,
volunteer fire fighters, donated $25
out of their limited funds for the
campaign.

Batesville Raises $500
Batesville, Grant Co., June 20.
(Special) Last evening, with a pop
ulation of only 100 the new town
' of Batesville got on the may by rais
ing $500 for the Red Cross War Fund
in 30 minutes. This is twice as much
as was assesed against Batesville and
as much as the quota of the entire
Austin district
Batesville is a new town on the line
'of the Sumpter Valley Railroad in
Grant County, where G. H. Rush, of
La Grande, is building a sawmill for
the Pacific States Timber Investment
Co.
Among those to give were 25 Ser
vian laborers who responded enthusi
atsically through their foreman Mr.
Yankoyovovich.
If the rest of the towns and saw
mills responded as enthusiastically as
Batesville the Austin district should
raise $2000 for the Red Cross.
When the ladies asked when they
could see the men they wore told to
come back at 6:30 and when they did
they found all the work had been done
for them and the $500 raised.
