"The Night Flyer" Here
Friday Night
Railroad belli, whistles and rail
road terms recently supplemented

polian studio, where Wal.e Long
din -fed "The Night Flyer," a James
Craze production for Pathe DeMille,
starring William Boyd, which will
be on view at the Legion hall on
this week Friday night.
This is a railroad story and in
order to thoroughly catch the spirit
of the rails, Director Walter Lang
had a huge locomotive bell on the
set When qtilet was desired the
hell wan rung once. When noisca
were allowed, it was rnng twice.
Instead of "camera'' and 'cut" to
start and stop action, J.ang directed
William Boyd, Johyna Ralston and
other members of the cast with a
conductor's whistle. One blast
meant "stop," two meant "go
ahead." '
In the story of "The Night Flyer"
Mb. Boyd la seen as a courageous
locomotive fireman who wlna a mall
contract for his company. There
Is a thrilling train wreck superbly
photographed which is said to be
moat remarkable from a photogra
phic standpoint, and well calculated
to make spectators cling to their
chairs in excitement.
Thilo McCullough has a 'rtrong
role and with Ann Srhaeffer heads
an excellent supporting cast of
players. .The story was written by
Frank II. Spearman and the adapta
tion was the work of Walter Woods.
In addition to the feature story
there will be a news reel and a
comedy guaranteed to please all
who delight in seeing the funny side
of ' life. Remember, the prices of
admission are only 15 cents and 30

BRIDGE NEARING COMPLETION
Struoture 84$ Ft Long . and 26
Feet In Width
The Kuckenherg Bridge company
expect to have the new bridge span
ning the Deschutes at this place com
pleted by June first, "beating the
contract time a month.', By that
time they expect to have the old
bridge razed, as their contract calls
for that work. "
The new bridge is 840 feet In
length and 26 feet wide, having
a foot walk on either side three
feet wide. The span over the river
is 200 feet In length .and that over
tho flat trails over 640. The latter
is supported by 12 concrete piers,
all the concrete work boing reinforc
ed.
" Wasco county voted $50,000 ' for
Its t hare of the contract price, the
federal government and state meet
Ing the other half of the cost. One
thing that wbb not Included fn the
npeclfications, and which would
have ben of great benefit to
passengers over the bridge, was
that of constructing light posts.
The bridge makes quite a curve over
the river and lights ; would have
added, greatly to the refety of both
foot and auto traffic, as well as add
ing to the beauty of the structure. "

POLING ADDRESSES STUDENTS
Splendid Word ArOpM Interest
and Cood Fading
. The Oregon State College is lead
ing Dr. D. V. Poling as a representa
tive to the leading schools of the
sate. He paid us an official visit
Friday afternoon, delivering an ad
dress which furnished food for
thought to each one who, heard blot.
His words' were not lightly taken nor
will they be forgotten. He spoke
briefly upon college education, de
claring it not necessary to happiness
but an asset to persons who were
able financially and mentally, to
obtain a degree. Competition is in
creasing the chances of securing
high-salaried positions; the difficulty
will increase as 'time goes on because
more and more people are equipping
thnr rves with that rate of efficiency.
The essence of his address covered
quotations from an American author,
Henry Van Dyke. These guide posts
were i We should despise nothing ex
cept falaene s and meanness; "We
should covet nothing of our neigh
bor's except his kindness of heart and
gentleness of nature" "Be governed
by your likes and not your dislikes"
"Think often of your friends and
seldom of your enemier."
The speaker impressed these quo
tations upon our minds by many com
parisons. We were honored by his tim and
advice, and hope that we may again
have the privilege of listening to
man so well-known for his judgment
and leadership. In addition, we feel
that we were highly complimented by
the many who attended the assembly.
Tho Rd Poppy lo Be off Sale Son
Jean Renick of the Sixth grade
submits the following essay in the
contest conducted by the Ladies'
auxllliary of the Legion for the best
eawiy written by grade children on
the subject of the "Red Poppy."
This means h taken to make known
the significance of the red poppies
wljich will soon be offered, for sale
by the Ladies' Auxiliary. .,
"In Flanders Fields . the poppies
bloom." Must it not be a beautiful
sight in Flanders Fields? The little
red poppies grow all over the graves
in Flanders Fields. The boys and
men that shed blood on these fitlds
are remembered by these poppies.
The mothers, wives and sweethearts
of these boyc and men remember
them by the red poppy. It is a very
sad but beautiful story. The petals
of he poppy stand for the blood of
the men and boysthat died fighting
for our freedom. The center stands
for the bravery and valor of the boys
and men. The stem and leaves re
mind us of the pain and hardships
Peaches For Pleasure
W HIS. season we buy peaches
III (or economy, but we also buy
them for pleasure, for who
doesn't like the flavor of this
golden fruit which came out oi
Asia to give pleasure to the Occi
dental races? And there are so
many ways, to serve canned
peaches that there is no reason
why a case of them can't be
standing in the storeroom all the
time, ready to add its delightful
touch to the dinner.
A few suggestions for using the
4 peaches are given below:
For a cocktail, line a cocktail
glass .with 'sliced peaches; fill
center with-a mixture of diced,
canned pears, pieces of grapefruit
and milice d Maraschino cherries.
' Fill glass with peach svrup and
top with a Maraschino cherry.
For & Peach Sunflower Salad,
blend a three-ounce package of
cream cheese with two tablespoons
mavonaaise. Hear tn the center
of six beds of lettuce. Arrange
3
that they had to endure.
So in memory of the boys and men,
t'.e invalids, the men that came back
shell shocked or minus an arm or leg
make paper poppies while in bed or
in an arm chair at the hospital. The
American Legion auxiliary buy these
popples for one cent each from the
men. Then they sell them each for
a dime. The money received from the
sales to help the invalids of the war
and their families.. So these little
popples have a story after all.
JUNIOR SCIENCE INTERESTS
The Junior Science class haa been
making g collection of rocks. Some
of the rocks collected are . flints,
quarts and petrified wood. They
have some Indian relics, too, which
consists of a flint skinning knife, a

While in Portland last week Mr. De
Voe purchased some pansy plants.
These were placed in ; mall boxes by
the class and now promise to bright
en the room with their flowers.
Some clover and wheat .'eeds were
planted in glass jars to aid the class
In the study of their growth.
Thfc class has been following
Commander Byrd'a expedition in to
the Antarctic. They have several
pictures of the leaders pasted on the
wall. As the expedition progresses
into the Polar region members of
the class bring in the story of their
great adventure.
FRIDAY'S ASSEMBLY
The u:ual Friday morning assembly
was held in the afternoon at one

The Clarno Basin Oil company,
among whose stockholders arc some
Maupin men, has affected a reor
ganization and has began operations
with the intention of keeping on un

'Officials of the Clarno Basin Oil

the well, this week under direction
of Velarde Bros, of The Dalles, it is
necessary to drill a new hole on ac
count of cave-ins and the derrick is
to be swung around to a new position
so that the new hole can be put down
without moving the boiler.
It was stated that the pool of funds
attempted last fall has been accom
plished and $20,000 is now available
which by terms of a contract with
the new driller must be used in bor
