Hippodrome May Allison, "Are All Men Alike?" A GRIPPING drama, showing the primitive love and hatred of strong men, with the sea as a background, is presented in "Godless Men," the feature at the Majestic theater. The story is just the kind that the late Jack London liked to write, for it is a virile tale of thrilling adven ture and romance on the high seas. "Godless men" is the screen version of "Black Pawl," a story by Ben Ames Williams, which ran in the Saturday Evening Post. Mr. Williams furnished a strong plot, which has been admir- bly handled in the photoplay. The most striking character in the story is Black Pawl, a rough old sea dog who rules the mutinous crew of his ship, the Deborah, with the iron hand of brutality. His son, Red Pawl, is the most unruly member of the ship's company, having inherited all the ev'U characteristics of his father. Black Pawl had taken the lad at a tender age on a voyage, and upon his return found that hs wife, with their little daughter, had eloped with another man. The loss of his wife causes the cap tain to deny the existence of God and take for his creed the gospel of hate. How he turns again to faith in a Divine Being is one of the biggest dramatic moments of the play. The situation is dealt with in a novel man ner which is refreshing, for since the success- of "The Miracle Man" a num ber of pictures have been released which deal with the restoration of re ligious faith in ways which lack originality. The cast of "Godless Men is well- selected, with Russell Simpson, Helene Chadwick and Alec B. Francis n the starring roles. A comedy and news reel are also on the Majestic bill, while Cecil Teague contributes organ accompaniment. Screen Gossip.

PHONE MAIN: 461 204 MARKET STREET - HOOD RIVER, Or., Dec. 26. (Spe cial.) After six weeks spent at Wash-ington, D. C, New York city and other eastern points In the inter' est of the Apple Growers associa tion, A. W. Stone, executive manager of the organization; has' returned home optimistic over the ultimate outcome of the marketing of the 1920 crop as well as the general iuture outlook of the industry. Mr. Stone, who visited various eastern ware houses where the association has ap ples stored, says that the demand for the larger sizes is good. The foreign demand will take .care of the most of the smaller sizes, he says. While Mr. Stone says the exchange prospects are still uncertain, he thinks that the larger percentage of Newtowns, especially the smaller sizes, will practically all bring con trol price in England. Even though the Dound does not advance on ex change growers, with the fruit bring ing the control price, will realize i profit from English sales. "The' apple industry," Mr. Stone says, "seems to have reached a point of stability. While many food com modities have shown a sharp decline in prices in the face of a shortage, the decline of apples, although the country produced a bumper crop the past season, has been comparatively slight" Water Movement Topic. Mr. Stone says ihat the water movement of apples from the north west throueh the Panama canal is now an absorbing topic in apple mar keting circles. He believes that the high freight rates now obtaining and the obstacles that the rail lines are throwing in the wa;- of apple ship pers by endeavoring to eliminte stor age in transit privileges will be only temporary. 'These high rates," says Mr. Ptone, "and the accompanying obstacles to fruit shipments by rail, will lead to water lines' equipped with boats for handling all classes of freight from the northwest. If the railways pur sue their policy ot aavancea rates, the situation., ia the final analysis, must result in deeper water rates or cheaper rail rates, or both. The tem porary 'injustice will, in fact, work for the future welfare of the indus try.'' . Mr. Stone, who while in Washing ton, met with the internal revenue department to confer with officials as" to the income tax of non-profit sharing cooperative organizations of growers, declares his session satisfac tory. On his return Mr. Stone has hown friends a copy of "The Pennsylvania Register," & daily newspaper issued by the big new hostelry for the in formation and entertainment of its guests. The issue of December 11 car ries an article, entitled, "Romance and Delight Abide Within Skin of the Humble Apple." The story has caused Mr. Stone's friends and associates to refer to him as the Frank Branch Riley of the apple industry. The in terview follows: Oldest Fruit Delightful. "Name me the oldest friut in the world, and I will show you the most romantic and most delightful," de clared A. W. Stone, general manager of the Apple Growers association of Hood River, Or., who is a guest of the Hotel Pennsylvania, Probably Eve knew well what she was doing when she ate the apple, for there is no fruit in the world so good for the complexion, declared Mr Stone.

Legislation Effective Xow Said to Be Without Heavy Penalty ' to Compel Compliance. ALBANT, Or., Dec. 26. (Special.) Legislation to compel farmers to de stroy Canadian thistles before they bloom is desired by the Pomona Grange of Linn county. 1 The grange t a meeting this week adopted a resolution asking the legislature of Oregon at the coming session to enact such a law. The law provides for the destruc tion of the thistles, but members of the grange point out that there is no sufficient penalty for failure to ob serve it. Most farmers are trying to eradicate the plant, but their efforts are nullified if some one man in a community lets the thistles on his place go to seed and the seed blows over the country. Thistles have spread rapidly the last few years in some sections. In others they are yet very scarce. But they have grown and scattered to such an extent that the farmers say it is going to require an active, well- organized fight to keep them down. the vicinity of the Grand Pwiirie Grange hall, about four miles south east of Albany, a thistle club was formed last year and did good work in seeing that everyone in that section kept the thistles cut before they bloomed.
