The American Army gets all sorts and conditions of men. In the last group who arrived here are Private Ralph Cloninger, who was leading man in stock at a Salt Lake theater. An other is Private W, M. Worthen, of Chicago, who was summoned by a Salt Lake City board. Worthen has been a regular con tributor to Life, Judge and the Cartoon Magazine with his funny drawings. Private S.

Mrs. Humphrey Ward's war novel, makes one of the most ap pealing photoplays that the great world struggle has produced. Its ap peal is really tremendous, particularly as enacted by a cast Including Sylvia Breamer, Robert Gordon and Thomas Melghan, and directed by J. Stuart Blackton and James Young. Realism is one of the distinct notes of the plsy, and Mr. Young has built up a story, simple In the extreme, with the result thst it tugs, even yanks, at the heartstrings from beginning to end. It's a story of war, aimed to por tray the suffering of all womanhood during the war. As such there are some vivid trench scenes, but only a few flashes from Flanders to give the play the proper war atmosphere. Weak, gushy sentimentallsm, the base of so many pretentious produc tions dealing with romances based on the modern Armageddon, is conspic uously absent here. The feature makes an honest trenchant appeal to the ' Columbia. "When will the next Government war film be out?" Is what one frequently hears following exhibitions of "Per shing's Crusaders," which is being shown at the Columbia Theater. This Government-made production is of vital interest to all Americans, showing as It does everything of Interest In the Gov ernment's preparations and actual ac tivities In defeating the Kaiser. Hence interest in the date of release of the next official film. Every branch of the Government's ac tivities in the war has been covered by the camera for "Pershing's Crusaders," and there are numerous scenes showing action in the first-line trenches in France. Training camps, industrial branches, activities in the aviation camps, shipyards, the trenches, the Kaiser reviewing troops doing the "goose step," President Wilson In a number of poses. General Pershing and Scretary of War Baker In France In short, so comprehensive Is the film that it cannot but have a universal appeal. The first German prisoners taken by American troops in France, more than score of them, with two officers who reluctantly faced tne camera, are shown in the picture. The Columbia is screening the picture with appropriate decorations and strik ing effects. Sunset. Harold Bell Wright wrote a story for many millions of readers In "The Eyes of the World. In photoplay form this tale of the struggle between good and evil with a modern-story background promises to entertain even more mil lions than the book reached. The Sun set Theater Is offering it as the fea ture of its latest programme, although the Fatty Arbuckle comedy, "Moon shine," Is a "feature"' In Itself. The mountains and valleys of Call' fornla offer unusual opportunity for scenic beauty, and "The Eyes of the World" is excellent proof of this. In this atmosphere revolves a number of characters who interpret a drama in which love, hate and many other pas slons are rampant. There s a fight in "The Eyes of the World" that is reminiscent of the ter rific scrap between Bill Farnum and Tom Santschl, in "The Spoilers." How ever, the top of a mountain. Instead of room in an Alaskan shack. Is the scene of the mixup, with the struggle taking the actors to the edge of a cliff time and time again, and finally one of the men is seen hurtling to his death far below. Love of a girl is the cause of the man battle, Just as love and its companion passions dominate the book. "Moonshine" is a very .funny bur lesque on the mountaln-stlll-secret-service-man type of melodrama drama, with Arbuckle, St. John, Keaton 'and Alice Lake the principals.

Power of the Northwest in the lum ber world and the Importance of Port land as a mill center loomed nearer in the eyes of Northwest lumbermen last week as a result of the visit of several prominent lumber officials from the South and East. The three states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho will have control of the lumber market of the country In from five to ten years, well-informed lumbermen now are say ing. At a meeting of prominent lumber men from all sections of the country at the Multnomah Hotel last week, Charles S. Keith, president of the Southern Pine Association, said that the pine supply of the South practically would be de pleted within five years. Local lum bermen say tbe figure is nearer ten, but admit that the Northwest must pre pare to supply the country with soft timber within that time. Mills Mast Doable Output. To meet this demand, Oregon mills must more than double their present output of about 2,500,000,000 feet. Al lied industries also must widen their field and Increase their output. There will be room for dosens of furniture factories, mill supply houses and many other Industries that will profit by the nearby and abundant supply of timber.

(Spe cial.) Lewis County farmers this sea son have been harvesting the shortest crops of hay, grain and other farm products in the history of this section of the state. Some fields of Fall-sown grain gave -fairly good yields, but the drought that prevailed during the growing season has had but one effect on Spring-sown crops and the result is now shown In the yields that are being taken off. . A great part of the oats has been cut for hay. Corn in some portions is mak ing a fair showing, but the outlook Is not very promising. Rains within the next week or two would help out the yield of corn, potatoes and root crops of various kinds, but unless rain comes the ' drought will make Itself severely felt on late crops.

According to Portland bankers, less than 20 per cent of the amount of the bonds is yet to be paid in. notwith standing that the last 40 per cent pay ment Is not due until August 15. Few of those who subscribed to the last bonds are delinquent in payments. Estimates of the delinquents vary from 5 per cent to practically none at all. The war savings pledges may inter fere to some extent with subscriptions to tbe fourth loan, according to E. H. Sensenich, cashier- of the Northwestern National Bank. - "Many individuals who made large pledges to buy war savings stamps may experience difficulty in setting aside funds for the fourth loan." said Mr. Sensenich, "Tout by spreading out thejr payments they may be able to equal subscriptions to the last loan. "Practically no delinquents have been reported at our bank and only about 20 per cent of the payments remain to be made. I expect to eee tne entire amount In well before August 16 which will give people more than a month to save up for the start of the loan camoaism. Delinquents still have a chance to re deem their initial payments of 5 per cent. Bankers are making an effort to reach delinquents so that they may not loose the first payments. Back interest must be paid by those late in paying up. About 5 per cent of the subscribers at the Ladd & Tilton Bank were reported as delinquent by the vice-president, Edward Cookingbam, also state chair man for the third loan. Under the partial payment system on the last. loan, 5 per cent was paid at time of subscription, 20 per cent In May, 85 per cent last month and the final 40 per cent August 15. The fourth liberty loan campaign will open September 18 to last three weeks. peering dally for registration. At least 15,000 names of old voters who failed to cast their ballots at the last Spring election have been scratched from the books, and these, with the newoomers, make many thousands who yet remain to get in.

One of the strongest and most con vincing evidences of the popularity of Tanlac throughout America is the large number of letters that are being re ceived dally from well-known men and women telling of the remarkable re sults they have derived from its use. Among the many received in the past few days is one from John Smith, 313 Eighth street, Richmond, California, which is especially interesting. Mr. Smith states that he had suffered for twenty years with his stomach, liver and kidneys, and had reached the point where he wished each breath would be the last. He also eays that when be began taking Tanlao he weighed only one hundred and forty eight pounds, but that he now weighs one hundred and sixty-six making a gain of eighteen pounds and that he feels like a new man. Following is hla letter in full: "To whom it may concern: I, the undersigned, can truthfully say that the wonderful medicine known as Tan lac has done more for me in thirty; days of time than any other medicine I have ever taken before in all my life. I have been a sufferer fom stomach, liver and kidney troubles for twenty years. I have taken six bottles of Tanlao and today I feel like a new man. "Before I started using Tanlao it didn't make any difference what I would eat or drink, it distressed me so much that I wished the next breath, would be my last. Also when I started taking this wonderful medicine I only weighed one hundred and forty-eight pounds. Today I weigh one hundred and sixty-six pounds have gained eighteen pounds already and am still gaining. Also before taking Tanlao I couldn't sleep either night or day, but now I average about nine hours' steady sleep and I have an appetite, like a. horse. I am now fifty years of age and I can't praise Tanlac too much for what It has done for me." Tanlao Is sold In Portland by tha Owl Drug Co. Adv.
