Big Feature Films Every Evening The next four days at the Vlnlng theatre are big days, every one with attractions which should attract big crowds. Tonight This Thursday evening a Fox feat ure, "The Plunderer," starring W1K liam Farnum, is guaranteed to pro viae thrills for the most blase. Wil liam Farnum In a single-handed fight whips twenty enraged miners in a fight which Is said to out-thrt'l any thing of the kind ever put on the screen. The story is laid in Alaska, and rivals the "Spoilers" in hot blooded action. Friday Friday night only a Pammount re lease "The Yankee Girl" stars Miss Blanche Ring In a stirring love drama of South American Intrigue, laid in the tropics. The plot revolves around the meth ods which the breezy Yankee girl em ploys In gaining va'uable copper mines from the president of a Latin American republic, and frustrating the wiley plotting of rival Interests. A glass of champagne too much final ly settles the copper fend, and the American girl and her lover but then to tell it all wou.'d spoil It. Saturday and Sunday The Triangle features which have been released to small cities only for two weeks and which more than pleased the audiences at the Vining last Saturday night., promise to make Triangle nights the biggest of the week at the Vlnlng. The Triangle attractions for Satur day and Sunday make a very well bafanced program combining "Old Heidelberg" a five-part drama of Ger man student university life and royal Intrigue, and a master comedy star ring Eddie Foy and the seven little Foys, in "A Favorite Fool." The cast of "Old Heidelberg" Is lieaded by Dorothy Gish and Wallace Held. "Old Heidelberg" in its plot is Just taken full advantage of them. Among the striking scenes are those showing the turmoil when war Is about to be declared, the assem"- John H. Carkin For Prosecuting Atl'y In another column will be found the announcement of John H. Carkin for prosecuting attorney. He Is sen ior partner in the law firm of Carkin & Taylor, at Medford, and has been a resident of the county for eight years. Mr. Carkin owns a ranch near Central Point and is a large taxpayer. He is an officer in the Taxpayers League, a prominent Elk, a Mason, county treasurer. That sounds good. Myrtle Biakele For Treasurer In another column will be found the announcement of Miss Myrtle Blakeley as a candidate on the re publican ticket for county treasurer. Her qualifications are set forth In her announcement. Her candidacy ap peals to the Tidings.

Those who admire Griffith's won derful battle pictures In "The Birth of a Nation" will find here, it is said, the same sort of pictorial beauty and dramatic effectiveness. The comedy "A Favorite Fool" shoufd prove the best ever screened. Nearly everyone has seen the Foys, and their mere presence in the feat ure assures Its Biiccess from a laugh standpoint. The plot of the comedy, for this is a comedy which, strange to say, has a plot, is laid in a circus and Is a bit of circus life. In order that those who will at tend the basketball game Saturday may have an opportunity to see this exceptional bill, Manager Bergner wired for permission to hold it over Sunday night and it wV be shown Sunday as well as Saturday. of the following laws: Requiring banks to pay 2 per cent on county funds.

And uncommon it is as well, for most of the candidates say "en closed find announcement, send the bill," which does not appeal to the newspaper, oecause tne newspapers have handled so many of them where the "check" was never forthcoming, and never, never came. Are we for Myrtle Blakeley? Well, we guess yes. Portland Telegram: Logging camps, miKs and railway maintenance crews are facing a seri ous problem in securing men. one-half of the Industries that are counting on starting work, do start, there will be a shortage in available men. The number of unemployed men in Po'rt'and has diminished al most half during the last three weeks. Many skilled laborers are Btill out of employment, but they will soon have work. Three months ago laborers were almost begging em ployers for work. Now conditions have reversed. Most of the unem ployed married men who could leave the city have secured positions. Lyric Theatre Has Good Bills Thursday and Friday the Lyrio Theatre, Ashland'B popular low-price movie house, presents a big cornblna- II tion show of three feature pictures "Necklace of Pearls," "The Clean Up" and "His Wolfish Ways." The first two thrilling dramas and the third a screaming Keystone comedy. On Saturday the Lyric has bl'led a thrilling rafroad film, "The Girl and the Game." This Is a picture no rail roader should mlfis. v' Full of thrills from start to finish, some of the most daring features ever filmed.
