An a special attraction, commenc
ing today, tho Arcade theatre un
nounces Douglas Fnirbanlis In his
new Artcraft picture, "Down to
Earth," written by hiinselt , and
adapted to the screen by clover little
Anita I.ooa.
The story of tho photoplay tells
of a typical American youth whose
"wanderlust" and Ideas of living
close to nature are not in accord
with tho views of life assumed by his
sweetheart an ambitious society bud.
Bridge parties, matinee d mces, tea
parties and sumptuous dinners are
the Important factors in the pretty
girl's social career and these occu
py too much of hor time for wander
ings amidst God's country in the
great outdooi-B. How the persistent
.youth takes her away fio.n her sur
roundings and wins her over to his
way of thinking despite herself, of
fers one of the most amusing tonics
the serein has yet displayed. -Many
Climes ure visited and many surpris
es are presented In typical Fairbanks
style, ranging in variety from doing
B handstand on a mountain precipice
8,000 feet above sea level to teach
ing a hippopotamus the famous Fair
banks smile.

today and tomorrow only.
"MOTHEU 'O MIXE," POMIXO
"Mother O' Mine," to bo presented
at the Arcade theatre on Monday and
Tuesday affords an Illustration of
mother love as the basis of an cn-
. gaging plot. Ruby La Fayette plays
. the role of an old lady who is bo
-devoted to- her boo,- that oven his
heartless neglect cannot shako her
constancy. Tho boy awakens from
his lethargy of selfishness In time to
give his mother a full measure of
happiness in her declining years and
wins, at tho same timo, tho love of
the girl who has been a witness to
his unfillnl conduct. Thoro Is tho
happiest of endings to fulfill the
mission of Bluebirds. Rupert Jul
ian, who made the production, will
hare stellar honors with dainty

Adre-sses .Students
Russell II. Conwell, the famous lec
turer arrived in I.a Grande today to
speak tonight before the High School
Y. M. C, A. course on "Acres of Dia
monds." Mr. Conwell is probably the most
famous lecturer in the United States,
and the lecture "Acres of Diamonds"
is his most brilliant. He liaf. (fiven it
many thousand times before large au
diences, and everywhere it is recog
nized ns well worth hearing.
Mr. Conwell very graciously con
sented this morning to address the
high-school students on the need of
modern patriotism, and he thrilled his
audience as no other man could. His
description of the speech he heard
Abraham Lincoln give wa3 most in
teresting and inspiring.

If von have trouhlo with your
stomach you should try Chamber
Iain's Tsil(!"i!. So many have been
restored to health by the use of tlieBC
tablets and their cost Is so little, 26
cents, that it is worth while to give
them a trial. Adv.
artistically directed by Dell Hender
son. The two principal figures In out
cast" are a man and a woman whose
experiences in love havo been slm
llnr. When the paths of theso two
people cross the woman has become
a woman of tho streets nnd tho man
a drunkard. The soul of tho woman
being the first to awaken, she lifts
tho man, and together they renounce
tho evils to which each hus fallen.
The jarring note In the moralo of the
play is the inference which the pict
ure gives of lovo without marriage.
When the man decides to discard the
wonmn and return to nn old love, Ills
dlscoveiy of the shallowness of the
love of the last-named not yet di
vorced from her husband, causes him
to turn again to the "outcast" whose
forgiveness ho easily wins.
The action of this picture is unus
ually realistic, which together with
Its play on human emotions will tend
to make it popular.
Thifl picture will be shown nt the

"Colored teacheiB in Maryland are
giving all of the time that they have
usually taken for much needed rest
to do volunteer work and the state

that too much praise cannot be given
to their devotion and patriotism.
"In New Orleans a negro woman
lectures to other women cooks of

substitutes, and they havo classes in
food conservation in tho municipal

"Florida finds the cooperation of

Double Poultry Production.
CORVALLIS, Jan. 11. (Special.)
If the farmers would nil double
their poultry production, every fam
ily in the United States could bo eat
ing poultry two or three times a
week and eggs every day, says Prof.
Diyden of O. A. C. and enough red
meat would be saved to make up tho
meat shortage to every one of the ten
million allied soldiers fighting for
the country. Not all farmers could
make a profit, but many could, nnd
patriotism may be sufficient reward,
anyhow.
