In the I-asky-Paramount production of
Ruth Sawyer's whimsical story, "The
Primrose Ring," which was especially
prepared for the screen by Marian
Fairfax and produced under the di
rection of Robert Leonard.
The atory has to do with a little
nurse in a children's hospital, and
wonderful fairy stories. Many of the
scenes were filmed in the children's
hospital and the picture was shown
to the children immediately upon its
completion the first time that many
of the little unforunatos had ever
seen a motion picture. In the east
supporting MisB Murray are Tom
Moore, Little Billy Jacobs, ' Winter
Hall and Mayme Kelso.

world's champion middleweight, and
John Borg, who is well known here.
In meeting Jack O'Neill he will
have one of the toughest matches of
his career. Wrestling with O'Neill
will be equal to taking a post grad
uate course. If there are any holds
in the wrestling repertoire that he is
not familiar with, he will probably
know them by heart after working
with him.
Good pictures, good preliminaries,
good music in connection with main
bout make a well balanced program
for tomorrow night.
Mr. Thye goes from here to Hous

Pete Brown, well known1 Eastern

Summerville News
North Powdor, Ore., July 18, 1917.
(Special) The Portland papers are
printing the story that this part of
the dry farming section is burned out
and that the farmers will not be able
to stay on their places this year. It
is true that the continued drought has
hurt the crops a great deal the same
as it has all over; but we wish to state
that there are several pieces of fall
grain that will make a fair crop and
some of the spring grain will make
'some grain- but not a full crop by any
means. Fall rye will make a good
crop and spring rye will make part
of a crop. It is true that the crops
are 'bad enough but we do not like
to see conditions made to appear any
worse than they really are. A num
ber of the crop reports sent out are
by people living in town who gather
up what they can from hearsay and
send it in as authentic crop reports.
It is also reported that farmers are
leaving their homesteads and going to
work. This has been done by most ot
the farmers in the dry belt ever since
bhev have taken up their ranches.
They go to work on the other ranches
and help out in haying and harvest
and find all they can do at- good
wages. So that going to work 13 what
thev have been doing all the time.
The dry farms are a long way from
being dried out and a rain would now
make hay of most of the spring grain
that is too far gone to make gram.
It is about time that tho good peo-
Die of North Powder get busy and get
a rest room. This is one of tho most
necessary things for a progressive
town. If there is anyone that needs a
place to rest and get out of tho heat
and dust it is the women irom ine
counry, and especially the mothers of
small children. They must come to
town and only the mothers of little
people know what a task it is to have
to stay around the store for a time
with a bunch of little ones to take
care of and mo place to rest in but
tho stores. Who will be the first to
"start tho ball to rolling?" This
would not be a bad idea for the ladies
clubs to take up.
Orburn Saunders and CJias. Law
left for Walla Walla on Saturday July
14th to work throughout the harvest
at that place. Mr. Sanders has run, a
combined harvester there for some
years. Chas Law will be the header
tender and help Mr. Saunders with
the machinery. The young men ex
tect to be gone about 30 days.
Mr. and Mrs. iBcrt Taylor returned
to their'home in Buhl on July 17th.
Mr. Tavlor spent a week at Hot Lake
and was very much improved in herdth
when he returned home. He expects
to return later in the season- and spend
some time here until he recovers his
usual health. As he was building a
new bungalow he felt that he could
not stay away from home but a short
time.
Mr. and Mrs. Herman White, Mr.
