Wild Oranges
Opens Tuesday at
Oregon Theater
Beauty, thrills and intense
drama fill the picturization of
Joseph Hergeshemler's - popular
story, "Wild Oranges," whieh will
be shown for three days at the
Oregon theater commencing Tues
day.
In "Wild Oranges" King VIdor
has created another tremendous
success, which surpasses even his
The Wise Fools." Vidor person
ally supervised the screening of
the picture and has followed the
story, said to be the greatest ever
written by Hergesheimer, closely.
It was three weeks before the char
acters; desired could be found.
Frank Mayo Is seen in the role of
John Woolfolk, adventurer, who.
in his travels comes upon a strange
tr!o living In the Georgia swamps
With him is his mate and sole
companion, Halvard. a Scandinav
ian sailor, played Jby Ford Sterl
ing. Virginia Valll, who plays the
only feminine role of Importance,
was chosen after much delibera
tion. She Is Ideally cast as Mille,
the young granddaughter of Litch
field Stope, portrayed by Nigel de
Brullier. A suitahJe "villain" to
play the part of the insane Nichol
as was found in Charles A. Post,
a newcomer to the drama world
Post wa3 Ion? identified with
"Buddy" Post comedies In which
he played : the ", leading parts.
Jacqueline Gadsdon appears in a
short sequence as . Ellen, wife of
Woolfolk, who had been killed
years before in a runaway.. It is
this accident whieh has caused
Woolfolk to pursue the wandering
life that brings him to the Georgia
shores at the opening of the story.
The Acquittal"
Oregon Feature
Beginning Today
Translating a spoken play Into
pictures : transferring spoken
words into pantomime without los
ing the strength and effect of the
lines has long been "reckoned as
the principal barrier to the success
ful screening of the classics of the
stage. But this has-been actually
and, remarkably accomplished in
"The Acquittal," which opens its
showing at the Oregon theater to
day. ,,;r ; !
The fact was accomplished by
Clarence L. Brown when he took
the proceedings of a murder trial
and screened them Intelligently in
to pictured action without the use
of explanatory titles.
Brown placed each witness on
the stand. Then, as they began
their stories, f he faded ' the- big
court, room scene Into the scenes
described In -the evidence. The
characters went through the ao
tion being described to the jury
and the result Is one of the most
gripping; enthralling mystery dra
mas in the history of, pictures.
The audience is at sea until the
dramatic climax. Suspicion fixes
first on one character, then on an
other. It veers from one. to the
other with each added shred of
evidence- and excitement marks
every step.
Farmers' Purchasing Pow
er Said to Be Increasing
- --
Beginning of an upward curve
from the post-war depression in
the farm situation, observed in a
national survey of the farm land
market made by the National As
sociation of Real Estate Boards
some months ago, is further Indi
cated in an' analysis of the farm?
er's purchasing power just made
by the Howard, Morehouse, Inc.,
agricultural business service. The
analysis Is made by farmer statls
ticians of the American farm bur
eaus federation and a former-chief
statistician of ; the United States
department of agriculture. ?
: The estimate of the business bu
reau, made from a study of all
available data.' places the purchas
ing power of the nation's farm
population at 97 - of "normal,"
and 9.5 of the purchasing power
of the farmers in 1913.
The estimate is based not simply
On comparison of prices but also
on quantities sold by farmers, and
bases purchasing power on income
less taxes; and interest. The
"normal" of the estimate is based
on. the long time trend of farm
prices 'fronVTS79 to 1913 and the
assumption that this trend is still
In progress. '

Editor Statesman:
"And they covenanted with him
for thiry pieces of silver" We
have heard it talked around our
firesides; we have heard it dis
cussed in public; and from the
pulpit we have heard it: What a
complete sinner Judas must have
been to have sold his Master for
the pitiful sum of 30 piece of sil
ver. : And how much more a crime
when Judas was one of the chosen
twelve: It would have been bet
ter, for that man had he never
been born. -
Those few lines are for the pro
fessing Christian, for men and
women alike. And for proof of
the statement . I shall make, will
you please read from Genesis I to
Revelation 22:21, inclusive. Pro
fe3sing Christians, have you stop
ped to think for a moment how
many ways there are, how easy it
is, how many. times we find our
selves willing, to sell our Savior
for even less than that; for even
less than 30 pieces of silver?
I will -mention 7 first a few
ways. Some of you are selling our
Savior for the pitiful sum of a
joke. Not all jokes are words of
betrayal. But those we cannot
cell in agreement with the abso
lute word of God are no more, no
less than that. And every idle
word that we speak we shall give
account for. It is by thy words
thou shalt be justified and by thy
words thou shalt be condemned.
Then there are those selling who
are selling the Master for a $5.00
business dear on the Lord's day
And shall not the .tables of the
money changers be- overturned
therefrom? There are those who
are selling1 our Savior - for a few
drinks of what they call good old
moonshine. No drunkard shall
enter the - Kingdom of Heaven.
Some are selling, our Savior by
committing adultery. Thou shalt
sot. commit adultery. There are
those who are selling pur Savior
at prices 'which God. alone knows
And they are giving more than
even they imagine, . There is a
way tha.t seeme'h right unto man
but the end thereof is destruction
For what shall It profit a man if
he shall gain the whole world and
lose his own soul- or what shall
a man give in exchange for his
soul? The piece? of silver he cast
down In the temple and went out
and hanged himself.
Dear professing Christians
what will we do with the price of
the $3.00 business, deal on the
Lord's dayT What" will we do
with the price of all the sales of
our Savior that we have made
when we come down to cross the
last river? Will we pray for the
rocks and .mountains to fall, upon
ns from the face of the Lord?
Then shall he say also unto them
on the left hand, depart from me
ye cursed. , into everlasting fire
prepared ; for the devil and his
angels. Oh, shall we hear the
King say. Come ye blessed of my
Father, inherit the kingdom pre
pared for you from the founda
tion of the world. S. B.;M1LI-S.

Oregonians Praised
Editor Statesman: To my notion
Oregon is one of the greatest and,
best places on this earth and th6
Oregon people are as a whole a
good 'and kind and charitable
specimen of humanity. , wnere
can one go and find, better oppor
tunities from every stand point
than' to Oregon, or where can one
go to find a more progressive and
honest class of people than we have
right here in Oregon, To be sure
we hive our prisons, our. courts,
our asylums and our re form schools
but we have our churches, our
schools and .our good people who
will stand as one for our country
and our flag. There Is no division
among, us when it comes to our
America and our old glory and a
very little difference on any other
line; all other differences, how
ever are only . side issues and
caused or brought about for per
sonal gain. , When we get careless
and forget the other fellow there
are only, a few people in Oregon
that would deliberately relieve
themselves of some awful calamity
by -switching it on to the other f el
low and those that would I believe
front a kind word would switch it
back upon themselves. Yes, we
have as a whole aGod-fearingclass
of citizens in Oregon, some are
careless and forgetful at times and
some set careless and overbearing
and greedy and too ambitious but
they , are all tender .hearted and
penitent and grateful when their
minds stop to reflect on their past
What; we all, need most is burden
bearers, someone who has a kind
word to speak, a loving spirit to
impart and a kind heart full of love
for humanity. Men and women
shoud not be valued by the clothes
they -wear nor by their positions In
this life but men - and women
should be valued by the good they
do unto others. When it comes to
our country and our one people be
ing divided as to the management
and "control of affairs we should
be careful and not select men and
women who would tend to stir up
strife and mako it a vision among
us other than on party ' principle.
Heretofore established by bodies
of our good citizens no factional
differences should make, a dent in
our government which is compos-
