While more laughs, numerous ungual and side-splitting situations i have been added to the orginal aUgei play in order to fit it for the screen, it is as much without the usual "heavy" work of the ordinary play as when it first was produced. "The substitution of many laughs must have made up for the lack of vlllany," said Edward Small, who produced the comedy for First Na tion Picture.". "Newer productions are proving that audiences, the world over, love to laugh and that they don't, mind if the usual rules of production are overlooked in the finding of those laughs. Successful entertainments of the future wifl run more to humor than sobs, and money will be expended for ides, rather than lavish settings." Vi.itcd With Husband Mrs. J. I F.lwood came over from The Dalles on Tuesday and visited with her husband until Wednesday morning.

Thr will have the effect of effacing a growth of weeds along the curb and at the same time give a better aspect to the street. Mr. Newlwed: "This steak tastes queer."

A Woman Testifies CJuERF.'S an eloquent description 15? of the hou sew He's troubles be C fore the advent of commercial canning. Mrs. G. B. Morrison of - Lincoln, Neb., said in a recent srecch : "Oh I how we all dreaded 'puttin' up time.' The cherries we had to pit the apples we had to pare the hours we children had to sit and deprive gooseberries of their heads' and tails; the hot little parsonage kitchen, with its roaring cookstove; the pirkles to pickle the jams to jam and sometimes they wouldn't.

"The graduating class of Harvard in 1671 numbered eleven. One died a bachelor. Four were married once. Four were married . twice. Two were married three times. Not a divorce in the lot but for ten husbands there were eighteen wives ... Safeguarding Matrimony "They tell me there are 26,000 000 home-makers in America today. Each wolnan is responsible for three meals a day, 365 days in the year, for a period of forty or fifty years. I figured it up roughly the other day and it amounts to some well over one trillion meals." If this woman's testimony is to be taken at its face value, commercial canning is. amonj other things, a safeguard to matrimony. .

MOTION TO DEDICATE BRIDGE RECEIVES n Many people Say Celebration of , Bridge Completion SbouU Be A rr an gad i Last week thi - paper suggested ' that a celebration of the completion of the finest bridge in eastern Ore-, ton, that at Maupin over the De hutes, ahould be marked by a cele- , 'iration. Since that paper was out many people of this section have seconded our motion, and many are ; n harty favor of fittingly marking -he completion of the structure. The contractors lay the bridge vill be ready for traffic about the 5th of June, they now being en aged in spreading the final layer 1 f concrete on the roadway. It Is xpected that state highway depart- lent will have completed the ap- , roaches by the above date. Then ould be the proper time to hold '. celebration, and to that end we 'gain suggest that the city council ! ake the matter up and prosecute it 'o a successful termination. The Crooked river bridge dedication tarked a precedent and we believe tme should be followed in toe in- i dance of our bridge. : ' Let's get busy and arrange that prominent men of the state be pre- nt and fittingly dedicate the new' bridge. By so doing w would again tamp Maupin a little more promW-i ent on the highway map of the f tate and at the same' time enjoy , he presence of notables who have elped make our extensive, highway irogram one of the finest in the 'ountry. Speak u and let us hear ?our sentiments, fellow citizens. 1IC WHOOPEE ON SATURDAY toad-Up at Fair Ground.
