Series Two.
Py Rentriz Miclielena.
No. 5.
(Copyrighted January, 1916, by
Beatrlz Michelena.)
Every girl who has had aspirations
to become a motion picture star has
probably some time come upon an
advertisement that reads after this
fashion:
"Be a motion picture performer
and earn from $50 to $500 weekly.
No experience necessary. Full par
ticulars by mail."
Maybe she has answered it In a
burst of enthusiasm, and then in due
time found it to be the bait of some
so-called school of motion picture
acting. She doubtless received an
elaborate prospectus, breathing in
naive confidence the secrets to the
go'don El Dorado o the motion pic
ture profession. Things were paint
ed In a brilliant hue, well intended
to whet her appetite for a course of
instruction, incidentally offered at a
moderate tuition fee. And who is to
blame for her gullibility? Were not
instances, almost without number,
cited of women who had succeeded
in pictures Just as the prospectus
promised she would succeed? Unde
niab'y the entire matter had a tone
of plausibility. That Is the pros
pectus man's business.
If she took the course, however,
she has by now profited largely in
experience, if not In the art of mo
tion picture acting. She can tell you
better than I bow empty were the
sweet promises of that prospectus.
They erected for her a magnificent
palace of dreams; but it is shattered
in-w and her Docketbook has suffered
too. Worse still, unless she "ue a j!r!
of unusual metal, she is broken in
spirit. If she had expected less, she
might have accomplished more. But
she expected too much and the bit
ter disappointment of it has wrung
out the ambition that she once had.
That is one reason why the fake
school of motion picture acting is
such a crime.
However, like many other forms
of crime it continues to flourish.
Nearly every city has Its fake schools
now. It is merely a case of a lot of
scoundrels, more or less shrewd in
their vl'lany, trying to capitalize the
motion picture craze that has swept
the country, and especially the craze,
found in some quarters, to become a
motion picture actor or actress,
Please, my "screen struck" friends,
beware of these prospectuses and
their rosy promises. They can bring
you nothing but disappointments.
Uf)Q
IRRIGATION CAN TS.
We have at hand the Irrigation
edition of the El Centro Progress,
from the Imperial valley, southern
California. To the doubter who
thinks irrigation Is impracticable in
the Rogue River valley we would rec
ommend sending for the Irrigation
edition of this newspaper. One edi
torially especially caught our atten
tion. It is applicable to many things
besides Irrigation and is reprinted
here for what It Is worth:
"No doubt there are many people
who recall the numerous quips and
Jokes about the possibility of water
ing the desert from the Colorado. 'It
can't be done' was a common remark.
"Which reminds us of a proposed
debate 'way back in 1S28 which a
few peculiar persons wished to hold
in a school house on the subject, 'Are
railroads and telegraphs practical?'
Permission was asked the school
hoard to hold the debate In the
school house and the minutes of that
august board meeting read as fol
lows: " 'You are welcome to use the
(school to debate all the proper ques
tions in, but such things as railroads
and telegraphs are impossibilities
and rank infidelity. There is noth
ing in the word of God about them.
If God had designed that His Intelli
gent creatures should travel at the
frightful speed of fifteen miles an
hour by steam, He would have clearly
foretold through His holy prophets.
It is a device of Satan to lead Immon
tal souls down to hell.'
"Of course, the moral to this tale
would be, 'Kill the fellow who says
It can't be done and go ahead and do
it.' "
BEX KHELDOX POPULAR.
The suggestion of Ben Sheldon for
the legislature seems to have met
hearty approval in other sections of
the county as it has done in Ashland.
Our people here remember gratefully
bis splendid work for our normal
school. In his home city of Medford,
for whose interest he has worked
early and late these many years, he
a'so has many friends. The follow
ing clippiug from the Central Point
Herald shows how he stands in that
city:
"Benjamin C. Sheldon, who has
announced himself as candidate for
representative from Jackson county
on the republican ticket, is a man
fully competent to fill the position.
He is well known, having lived In the
county for a number of years, and
has a'wayg worked for the best Inter
ests of southern Oregon. Mr. Shel
don should receive the support of
every republican of the county. He
Is a public spirited citizen and a very
forceful speaker and Is qualified in
every respect for a representative."
opportunity to elect their man for
any office available, irrespective of
their qualifications. My experience
with those so-called Catholic church
men has been most unfortunate as a
demonstration of the value of their
teaching for making a high quality
of Christians. The sole value of re
ligion is measurable by its effect in
life. Our diocese is entirely dom
inated by the Catholic party. I pre
dict that the church In Oregon will
be a dismal failure under Its Influ
ence.
"That which counts as worth while
In a bishop or clergyman Is the life
he preaches and tries to live. He
(the bishop or clergyman) must be
patient, gentle, humble, self-sacrificing,
truthful, charitable; at least
make a real effort to possess these
virtues. The only apostolic succes
sion worth maintaining carries these
traits with it, otherwise It Is an eo
cleslaatlcal counterfeit of a very pro
nounced type.
"Sincerely yours,
"A. A. MORRISON."

Dr. Morrison's Plea for Sound Prot
estantism in the Episco
pal Church.
(By Henry G. Gilmore.)
The Rev. Dr. A. A. Morrison, rec
tor of Trinity Episcopal church, Port
land, Is a well-known ecclesiastic of
the broad church type after the pat
tern of the late great and good
Phl'.ip Brooks, Bishop of Massachu
setts. Dr. Morrison, with a some
what phlegmatic temperament and a
disposition always to call a spade a
spade and not a horticultural Imple
ment, possesses Intellectual qualities
of the highest order and a method
of procedure, in most things, thatj
render his utterances, upon wat
ever subject, palatable to hearers
who lay stress upon what Is real and
logically conclusive.
A sermon recently preached by Dr.
Morrison, In his church, on "Natlon
aT Preparedness," and an address be
fore tho Y. W. C. A. on the savory
subject of the "Butterflies of So
ciety," will long be remembered for
their cogent arguments in the inter
est of sound common sense; while
more than one sermon preached in
Trinity church, Ashland, has been
indelibly impressed upon the mem
ories of a host of appreciative listen
ers. This article is Intended to deal,
more particularly, with a contrlbuL
tlpn from my pen, suggested by a
visit to a Los Angelea church In
which great liberties were taken
by the injection of practices in the
conduct of the services, entirely for
eign to the prescribed ritual and
spirit of the Protestant Episcopal
Church of "these realms." A copy
of the Ashland Tidings containing
said article was pent to Dr. Morrison,
and this is how the well-known rec
tor of Trinity church has been
pleased to deliver himself upon the
subject. It will be observed that the , NEAREST T0 EVERYTHING
teverend gentleman striKes straigni.
from the shoulder. In no uncertain
fashion, upon a matter that, especial
ly at this time, Is engrossing the at
tention of churchmen throughout the
country who have a decent regard
for the Protestant teachings of the
Prayer Book pure and simple and
a settled belief that the 39 articles
of religion are neither a snare nor
a delusion to any people:

get the best. Tell him to give you

into buying something else purely on
the strength of some testimonials or

money will be refunded, If It does not

even more, if it is not found the best

besides securing the guarantee these
