TUB HORNING OREGOXIAN, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 11. 1917. CHEAPER BUTTER PROPOSED By CITY ARTCRAFT Says He: LAUGH AND LIVE QUARTS OF LIQUOR Large Profits of Middleman Wilf Be Eliminated by t Public Market. Fourteen "Soft Drink" Men Face Charge of Violation of Prohibition Law. SUPPLY EXCEEDS DEMAND CHIEFS DIRECT SQUADS ! ! ' MlllliM 111! ADS BR NG 20 Ivan. Humason Has Found Whereby He Can Get Largo Quantity of Purest Creamery Butter at Reasonable Price. The price of butter, which ia being held at a high mark in the face of an accumulating supply, is going to come down with a thud. A municipal butter market will be added to the municipal fish and fruit markets of Portland, and thus the large profits of the mid dleman will be eliminated in another line of business. Ivan liumason, special commissioner delegated by the Mayor to attend to such matters, has found where he can get a large supply of the finest Oregon creamery butter at a reasonable price, and it is his intention to sell it to the public at cost at the municipal stall on Pourth street, near Yamhill. It is probable the butter will be passed over the counter to consumers at 05 cents for a two-pound roll. Grocery stores are now asking $1.05 and $1.10 a roll for this butter. The municipal market, it Is likely, will also have a cheaper, but still very good grade of butter that will sell for about 85 cents a roll. That' the butte. price as fixed by . the city creameries recently is not war ranted by supply conditions is made plain by the fact that much butter that has been coming to this city, has gone into the cold storages for want of buyers. This accumulated butter is made by Oregon state creameries" anil is marketed through Jobbers and brokers here, usually to the Portand city creameries, which do. not manu facture enough butter in their own plants for their needs. Just now, however, the city cream eries are getting their butter supply from outside the state and are ignor ing the Oregon made butter. Two cars of Kastern butter and a car of Idaho butter have been brought to Portland in the last few days by local cream erymen and there Is also a car of Los Angeles butter here. With no market for the Willamette Valley product, the jobbers have been forced to put their receipts 'into the coolers. . They could, of course, sell it at a sacrifice price, but this would embarrass the country creamerymen who have to buy butter fat from farm ers at the high price set by the cream erymen of this city. Now the municipal authorities are preparing to step in and help both producers and consumers by selling the butter at cost. VACANCIES ARE FILLED George Cook, of Portland. Elected Manager of XJ. of O.

PATHE FRERES, the gigantic nat uralized French motion - picture enterprise,, promises to become a much more important figure in photo play production in the- United States. Frank Keenan, Bryant Washburn, Bes sie Love and Fannie Ward have been added to the Pathe roster, and this concern is angling for Douglas Fair banks and Mary Pickford. News from Southern California con firms the rumor that Pathe has made the startling offer of $20,000 a week to Fairbanks and Miss Pickford. This means $1,040,000 to each star for 12 months' work, an astounding figure, and one exceeding Charlie Chaplin's million - dollar contract arrangement. Chaplin is to make eight pictures for the' First National Exhibitor's Circuit, but from the $1,075,000 he will receive the comedy king must pay for the making of his comedies. Miss Pick ford's contract with Artcraft expires next Spring, while Fairbanks' arrange ment with the same people has much further to run. The new Pathe plays will -be dis tributed in star series, Mrs. Castle ap pearing in the first one, "Stranded in Arcady." Frank Keenan comes to Pathe after a brief return to the stage, preceded by a successful series. of Tri angle pictures. Bessie Love, one of the "finds" of the past year, left Triangle for Pathe. Bryant Washburn was re cently with . Essanay, where he earned new laurels with his "Skinner" por trayals. Fannie Ward is the star of "The Cheat" and other Lasky produc tions. Mrs. Castle recently appeared In the Path serial, "Patria," while Pearl White is the queen of all serial stars, now due for a .trip , in programme length pictures. Film Man at Baseball Series. G. A. Metzger, manager of the Film Supply Company of Oregon, is Port land's lone film representative at the baseball world's series at New York and Chicago. Mr. Metzger did not jour ney eastward for the sole purpose of taking in the clash of the major league champions, but timed his busi ness trip to. a nicety and telegraphs that he is on hand to watch the Giant's trim the White Sox. Mr. Metzger reports that Jewel Pro ductions, which he represents in the Northwest, in addition to Universal, Bluebird and Butterfly . pictures, has purchased "The Co-respondent" as a fitting entertainment partner to "Pay Me,"" "Come Through" and several other big features. "The Co-respondent" ws bought from Lee Shubert, Ralph Ince and Arthur Hammerstein in record time, - the principals to the deal con suming only four minutes in closing the transaction. Elaine Hammerstein," niece""of "Oscar Hammerstein, is featured in this pic ture, which is a filmatlon of the play in which Irene Fenwick scored so de cisively in Broadway.- Prices Forced Up. . 'The soaring cost'of film exhibition, increased film rental, war taxes, etc.. has struck Portland's neighborhood photoplay theaters. Several months ago the downtown theaters were forced to Increase their admission fees, and now the Union-avenue Theater, at Union avenue and Russell street, one of the leading Cast Hide film houses, has been forced to advance its price to 15 cents. Other houses are expected to fall in line within the next few weeks. W. A. Graeper, vice-president of the Motion Picture Exhibitors' League of Oregon, who is the owner of the Union avenue Theater, has booked practically all of the big features on the market for his patrons, including "Intolerance" and the Paramount-Artcraf t products. He is installing a Kimball organ and will make music a feature of his en tertainment. Last night Mr. Graeper commenced a two-night screening of the made-ln I'regon picture, 'ine staking or a Newspaper." which enjoyed much popu larity at tne reopies J neater last week. This subject, which gives the spectator intimate view ot newspaper production, traces every step in manufacture, from the falling of logs in the spruce forests to the absorbing of the happenings of me oay ai tne oreaKiast table. Sunset. "Hulda From Holland" is a nhotonlav which loses none of its charm with the passing months. Mary Pickfgd, has r . ....... 4- 5 4 made many pictures since she stumbled about in wooden shoes as the little Dutch lass in this photoplay, but to many this will rank as one of the most delightful of all of her characteriza tions. A story which permits the star to register so many of those Plckfordisms which, bolstered by histrionic talent and an engaging personality, have made her the foremost feminine player of the cinema, is told in "Hulda From Holland." Hulda is a little lass of the Nether lands, who does the mothering for sev eral little kiddies in the land of the dyks. She is sent for by her uncle in far-away America, and, gathering her brood together, she starts on the long voyage across the Atlantic. Arriving in New York, the girl is unable to find her relative. She is taken charge of by a kindly old boarding-house keeper, and there she falls in love with a rich man's son, a chap who is out of the good graces of his dad and attempting to earn his living by painting. The girl becomes a potent factor in railroad construction, for she is heir to property through which her lover's father plans to build his road. The development of the story brings about a reconciliation between father and son and happiness for Hulda. "The Butcher Boy," the Fatty Ar buckle Paramount comedy, and Sunset Tours are other subjects screened. Liberty. Roy Stewart. Triangle's Western star, and Belle Bennett, the Australian girl introduced to the film world by Thomas H. Ince. will be co-starred on today's Liberty Theater bill. They ap pear in a story of the West, titled "Bond of Fear." "Bond of Fear" has to do with Jus tice, fugitives from the law, who seek the isolation and safety of the desert, and the influence of the desert and a guilty conscience upon a man who is a judge and ordinarily a stern enforcer of the law. Melbourne McDowell, who "had such a prominent part in "The Flame of the Yukon," is cast as the Judge in this picture. Paramount Pictographs. Mutt and Jeff cartoon and a comedywill also be seen. Columbia. Jack Pickford and Louise Huff, that Juvenile player combination which is rapidly assuming a decidedly promi nent place among Paramount attrac tions, will be seen at the Columbia The ater commencing today in "The Ghost House." This is said to be one of the best of all Pickford-Huff features, offering a dramatic interest, based upon mystery, and plenty of comedy. Pictorial digest and a comedy will also be screened. Peoples. "The Man From Painted Post." the latest Douglas Fairbanks comedy drama, which has been playing to ca pacity houses at the Peoples Theater, will be screened for. the remainder of the week. at that photo playhouse. This newest Fairbanks-Artcraf t pro duction is a tale of the frontier West, of cattle rustling and the efforts of stockmen' to stamp out such crimes. Fairbanks took his1 entire company to Wyoming to make the picture and used a number. of cowboy champions in addi tion to his leading woman, Kleen Percy, and Frank Campeau, noted for his bad- man roles. Star. - "Putting It Over." or "The Girl Who Couldn't Grow Up," the latest Margar ita Fischer comedy-drama, which has been enjoying such a successful run at the Star Theater or "going over" so well, an expression more in keeping with the title is to be continued until Saturday night. This Pollard-Mutual. picturV is one of the most thoroughly "enjoyable of all Margarita Fischer productions. She has a sort of Peter Pan-Cinderella role, that of a girl who Is consigned to a minor place in her own father's household, but refuses to be squelched by step mother and step-sister. The play is full of funny pranks, the chief of which is a battle between Miss Fischer and the chap she is eloping with and the police. Milk bottles are the weapons. Majestic. "Baby Mine," the photo dramatiza tion of the successful Margaret Mayo stage play of that name, and a picture which introduces to film fandom a new star, continues its Majestic Theater screening until tomorrow night. Miss Kennedy, the newest film lumi nary, is a well-known and popular stage comedienne, starrying in Fair and Warmer." "Twin Beds." and other Broadway successes. The play is a ver itable hit in film form, the producers transferring practically all of its com edy and clever lines to the celluloid and in addition furnishing more plot development and a variety of back grounds.

Personally Supervise Work of Raiding Places Where State Agents Allege Whisky Is Sold. Under the personal direction of Sheriff Hurlburt and Chief of Police Johnson, a squad of 34 policemen and Deputy Sheriffs raided nearly a score of soft drink parlors yesterday and ar rested 14 me'n on complaints alleging violation of the prohibition law.

At some of the places visited, the officers did not find any liquor at th time of the raid, but they assert they have in their possession abun dant evidence to support their charge of violation of the prohibition law, gathered on previous visits of plain clothesmen. All of the places raided yesterday have for some time been under surveillance of the arresting of ficers, who yesterday morning caused complaints to be issued against 18 dif ferent places. Some of the complaints were not served because of inability to find the man named in the war rant. Additional arrests are expected today. Cash Ball of SSBO Exacted. Included among those taken into custody yesterday were a number of men who either conducted saloons in this city or were employed in those resorts before the city joined the pro hibition column. In every case cash bail of $150 was required, and with but few exceptions those arrested were released. Most of the evidence gathered against the men under arrest was taken by special agents In tne em ploy of the state, who have been in vestigating so-called softTdrink par lors for several days. - In that time they are said to have accumulated the required evidence on which to base the complaints that were issued yes terday by the District Attorney's of fice. The activity of special agents in the pay of the state has not been confined to Multnomah County, it was learned vAiiardnv. Through this agency men are at work in several sections of the state in an effort to put an ena ,v nios-91 sale of liauor. Frank . Rogers and F. J. Reichard, of this city, are performing similar service m Eastern Oregon, having recently made some sensational arrests involving prominent citizens at Burns.

It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash It out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff Is to dissolve It, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply It at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub It In gently with the fin ger tips. By morning most. If not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or "four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every sin gle sign and trace of it. You will find, too. that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a. hundred times better. Tou can get liquid arvon at any drug etore. It Is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This aimple remedy never falls. Adv. in 'The Man' From 3.
