Hill's Dep't Store ' Quality Service ARCADE EEQRGE BEBAN IN SERIQ COMEDY ROLE George Beban, tho famous Italian character actor, who will be seen at the Arcade on Friday and Saturday in his latest production, "A Roadside Impresario," has a hidden passion that was not discovered until the film ing of this story, at the Pallas studio. This passion is for breaking dishes. One of the incidents of the story is where Mr. Beban is working as a LEGAL NOTICES Notice of Meeting of Board of Equalization Notice is hereby given that the County Board of Equalization for Union County, Oregon, will convene st the court house, La Grande, on Mon day, September 10, 1917, and publicly examine the assessment roll, correct 11 errors In valuation, descriptions or qualities of land, lots or other property, as assessed by the county assessor, and it shall be tho duty of ell persons interested to appear at- the time and place given.

WESLEY HARRISON, Administrator Daily Aug 9116123-30-Sept. 6 helper in a restaurant in order to raise money to get Bruno, H's bear, out of jail. Beban- finds an import ant paper and certain members of his company try to get it away from him. Armed with a cleaver and a-pan full of hot soup he keeps them at bay. This scene takes place near one of tho racks in which the hundreds of clean dishes were stacked and t'p ping the rack over had nothing to do with the story. Several people noticed during rehearsal that Mr. Beban look ed at this rack with hungry eyes but thought nothing of it, and as the dishes were ail borrowed from a local restaurant, it was supposed the star would do no damage; but while the scene was .being photographed, Mr. (Beban managed to jump around in such a way as to tip over the entire rack containing the dishes. As soon as he had finished the scene, he dinarily are those belonging to men that are more or less generally known as "potato cranks". And while in a few cases these men may not be per fectly familiar with the various dis eases, they do know good seed pota toes and appreciate tha value of the same, using seed from the best pro ducing sections of their potato fields or even selecting their seed from the, heaviest yielding hills at digging time. Along with this tho practice of treating their potato seed before planting with corrosive sublimate is being practiced more each year. And a combination of these two along with the rotating of the crop is bound to have a beneficial effect on the yield. Mr. Kobert Clark who lives near Island City, has been digging new po tatoes for the past month and has had a particularly good yield which he at tributes to good seed' more than any other thing. It is rather Interesting to note the difference in yield that he secured between potatoes planted from common seed and those from good seed that he secured from the east at fancy price. Common seed pro duced only one or two commercial po tatocs in the hill while the yield from the better seed produced in some cases 10 to 15 good potatoes m hill. Mr. Clark's early potatoes have been yielding at a rate that will make them worth several hundred dollars an acre, and he certainly feels that he was justified in paying an extra price for good seed a year or two ago. Mr. A. P. Davis and his son, Dee, are also reporting a fair yield, and it is quite generally known that they also are men who are very particular as to the class of potatoes they use for seed.

Dry and very warm weather is cred ited witn reducing our prospective yield more than any other one factor, and certainly it is goii g to material ly reduce our yield by keeping the potatoes from attaining commt-rcinl size, and also there has been con siderable complaint that the potatoes are sprouting. At the present time it is hard to say to how great an extent the average crop will be in jured by this unusual condition. How ever up to tho present time tho in jury from this source will not be near ly as great in this valley as in some other sections of the state, particu larly in the Willamette valley. ino second in importance, if notjproudly showing his friend cue most important source in cutting given him by Georeo H Portland, Ore., Aug. 30.

Walker, prominent among northwest pioneers, today is a cane Himes, down our yield is potato disease, curator of the Oregon Historicol So wlneM in othor words might be ex pressed in using poor seed, ns any dis eased seed would naturally not be No. 1. I believe 'thut it will be gen erally admitted by thoso that under stand tho potato situation that nn unusually lnrge amount of poor qual ity potatoes were used for seed pur poses this spring. We hear the statement often mnrie that tho seed used this spring was fine but the crop prospects are very disappointing. However, there is con siderable question if tho seed used by many was as good os they thought it was, unless you are acquainted with the various potato diseases whi.-h in jams section are mostly scab, little iitohico niscaso or "Rhizoctonin" and 1 r. : ... ... usurain win, wnicn Tuny be fairly easily detected on the ordinary po tato. 1 Whilo there are several other dis eases which can only be determined in the field while tho potato vine is grow- consequently there is r. prettv fair ciety. The cane is made of Guaiucum, n species of lignum vitae: Oregon yew and locust. The Guaiucum was taken from a tie used in the construction of tho Panama railroad in 1854; the Ore gon yew grew near Champoeg, where tho first civil government was orga nized in 1843, and tho locust grew on tho campus of Willamette University at Salem.
