HILL'S DEPARTMENT STORE I ARCADE L "11)1, K WIVES" TOMOirilOW AT THi; AKfADi: TIIHATIli:; "Idio TVJteK," l.'-- V,'i 'er'n photoplay of life, which coi::e to t!ic Arcade tomorrow for one flay only may well be called "Life's Mirror," for It In merely a real production of the greatest drama of limit: "Life." James Oppenbelro wrote the hook from which "Idle Wives" has been adapted. "Idle Wives" has but recently com pleted a record breaking run at the Maxlno Elliott theatre In Now York City, where It received the commen dation It so richly deserves. Jane 'McLean, the great woman settlement worker, says of this master feature: "It holds the minor up to society; and conveys the greatest u-rmm of : democracy which I have had the pleasure to witness." The Rev. Thomas B. Gregory says: It was my great good fortune last evening to sea "Idle Wives" at the Murine EU lott Theatre and it was ridiculous; It was ridiculous simply because It I? a perfect replh-a a,"lMimun life,' and human life Is the only rldlcu- i Inns thing under the stars. i "Zlt" of the New York Evening ! Journal nays: "I have never seen i society hit as I saw the upper classes I shown In "Idle Wives" last nlxht at I the Maxlne Elliott Theatre." Every person in tho world should nee this icmcliah!, production. When these I.i,ti!v c:.i..f ::r. 1 a yiy like "Idle Wives" for its cervrce to humanity, they merely express the opinion of the many thousands who stormed the doors of the Maxlne Elliott Thea tre In New York City for many weeks. To tho girl who Is discon tented, to the husbands and wives, to those in comfortable circum stances who envy those in better circumstances than they, "Idle Wives" exerts a powerful appeal.. Its lesson Is conclusive and complete. ! S-T-A. A Record Saddle Mount JOSEPH HAS EEAL ; WIOTEE weatheb: Who is it? Douglas Fairbanks, of course. Yes, and the trick is much more difficult than it looks, incidentally representing the longest saddle mount ever recorded in either real or reel life. Fourteen feet from the porch of the house to the saddle of the peaceful looking hor3e who little suspects the shock he h atout to get. Douglas' new Artcraft picture, "The Man from Painted Post," discloses the fact that this mount was made with perfect case by the athletic screen star. Very good, even for a Fairbanks, say we.

Real winter is now being enjoyed In Jor.cph and cold, blustery dyB have marked the past week. Sleighing and coasting and even skating are all enjoyed whenever possible. This Is truly a good country to live In ; even In the' winter, which is not so ' bad as sometimes pictured. Fled Cross Show. I Between $150 and 204 was clear ' Ml at the Red Cross sho7 last Sat ; unlay night. The nonce was packed ; and all twelve numbers on the pro gram (not to mention the Jitney dance) were liberally applauded. The Joseph concert band helped out some of the numbers while Miss Alta Spaulding furnished the music for others, fn fact everything from the band selections in the first act to the patriotic number In the last, includ ing nil numbers in between such as Mrs. Parker's and Mrs. McCully's songs. Alum and Sox, Prof. Wise and "Chain," Mr. Pollock's cartooning, Miss Wastell's dancing, the "girl numbers" and all the reit, deserve special comment. Miss Wastell, the director of the affair Is to be con gratulated as are the performers, and ail Joeeph hopes that more like it will be put on ia the future as we now surely know tht we have plenty of local talent. One thing did hap pen during tbe course of the evening that Is to be regretted and that was that some little boys took J15 of I the Red Cross money which had been taken in and although no names have yet been mentioned it is thought that the parties are known. Mrs. lslie HI. Mrs. ,nna Leslie has been nuite ill this last week and her condition was such that her daughter. Miss Clara Leslie, who is a teacher in the schools here, remained at home with her. Miss Emma Shannafelt sup plied for her during her aiisence. Sund.iy School Growing. The M. E. Sunday school surely Is growing as last Sunday nearly one hundred and forty persons were In attendance while a year ago last Sun day only one hundred and nine were there. The Increase Is due to Mr. Pollock's untiring efforts to build up the school and to the great interest which the activities have aroused. Miss Cole Itelurns. Miss Vera Cole is back in Joseph after a stay of several weeks in Bak er county. New KdiliiM Welco'ite. . N. B. Pentreath, businc manager of the La Grande Evening Observer, was in Joseph last week and while here made a visit to our schools. He announced that soon the Observer would print a morning edition for Wallowa county, which is truly a big favor to us who now must wait for from 16 to 2 4 hours after the news Is printed to get It, but when the new edition is out we get it the day It is printed.
