tne activity or trade and tne nigh prices

Vancouver, Wash., Dec 80. A atlrrtng
biograph drama of the '"Change" is be
ing exhibited at Hager's .theatre tonight
and tomorrow. That is 'A Corner In
Wheat" No subject has ever been pro
duced more timely than this powerful
story of the wheat gambler, coming as it
does when agitation Is rife against that
terrible practice of cornering com modi
ties of life. No more convincing argu
ment could be shown than that get forth
In this picture. Every phase of the
question Is shown, from ths sowing of
the wheat to the wheat pit on "Change,1
where the wheat king stands majestical
ly amid the debris of wrecked fortunes.
Little does the poor, honest sower real
ize the turmoil the fruit of his labor
does incur. Another exceedingly inter
esting film- Is "The Spanish Girl," a
story of Mexico, and incidentally show
ing some very beautiful scenery of that
country. A number of good comedies
are also on the program.
