When tho boy and girl who had been sweethearts from childhood married against their uncle's will the old grouch vowed he would never be reconciled. The little hoy that came to them proved the medium of re formation for the modern Scrooge; and then came tho shock of grief that Eugene Field so poetically ex pressed In "Little Boy Blue." Elliott J. Clnwson has combined these Is sues of I'.cntlment In "My Little noy," a delightful I'lueblrd photo play, to be exhibited at the Arcade theatre tomorrow only with Ella Hall leading an nil-star cast, Includ ing Orotchon Ledercr, Emory John son and Little Zoe Itae. Elsie June Wilson, one of the few women do voting themselves to presentations of photoplays, directed tho production and finished an elaborate offering of groat artistic charm, skillfully acted by a cast especially chosen for in dividual tnoss to play tho various roles.

President Wilson, Secre tary Baker of the War Department. Hoover of the Food Conservation Commission, and others have ac knowledged that service and ex pressed grateful appreciation. We have put strong effort behind the two Liberty Loan and Ued Cross enni pulgns and tako pride In feollng thai a part of the glory was ours. Fow people In the face of nil this quite appreciate too, the terrific burdens now being borne by picture theatres from tho smallest to the biggest. Each pays an annual tax Imposed by congress.

Immense Increase In the -cost or everything from screen stars to common scenery, the producors havo been compelled to ndvnnce very ma terially tho price of film Bervlco so that tho cost of show attractions have doubled In the last eighteen months. Many plcturo shows have gone out of business utterly unable to hold up under the strain. "To my mind, after surveying the field carefully. It would seem thnt agitation for tho imposition of ad ditional burdens ou picture shows, or for weakening them in any way. or restricting their present privileges is not only untimely, but unfair nnd unjust. Tho government through President Wilson has openly stated that picture shows are doing a great work and nny hampering of their work at this time will only tend to weaken an agency upon which the government depends largely for noble, patriotic and effectlvo work.

"It got dark early and the snow was so thick in the air you couldn't see the wire from the front trench. "Mr. Shurt stopped lis In the front line and explained what we wore going to do. He had it figured out that the enemy cut those wires last night, so ho could make a raid to night. And if lie didn't intend to raid, lie would certainly expect our engineers to bo out fixing the hole and "would pot 'om.

Clarke Leiter presented the aims of the Knights of Columbus war drive and urged Union county to go over the top in this as it had in all the other big drives. T. J. Scroggin called attention to the visit of the Canadian officers and the public patriotic meeting Friday night, January 25, at tho Mormon ta bernacle. The meeting is under the auspices of the government. Walter M. Pierce told of his pleas ure in meeting the Canadian officers in Portland and riding with them to Salem. He said their appearance here will be the event of the year, that they are real fighters from the trenches and have a real and thrilling message to deliver. The speaker of the day was H. M. Du Bois of tho high school, who told how geography was playing an im portant pnrt in the west front and Italian campaigns. His description of the topography was accurate and di rect and ho illustrated his talk with maps, showing tho mountain ranges, etc. Pat Foley won the prize for the host answer at the roll call by giving his occupation as "raising fighters for Uncle Sam." E. E. Kiddle was next, saying that THEATRE he hnd lost his job as collector for the Y. M. C. -A. and Red Cross and also . as a miller and that according to Wal ter Pierce he was not a politician. He was to be classified, therefore, as a "general loafer." Mr. H. E. Coolidge will be the chair man of tho next meeting. Those Present Those present at the luncheon were: Colon R.
