L. S. BRONSON M. D. EVANS O. C. S. GERBER Estacada, - Oregon. “The Shine Girl” “The Shine Girl”, the Pathe Gold Rooster play, which Mana ger Sparks of the Family Theatre will present on Thursday evening, March 15th, is said by a motion picture authority to be one of the eight great pictures he has seen in the last six years. It is in many ways like that other Gold Rooster play “Little Mary Sun shine”, which has already made a fortune. “The Shine Girl” has been described as “The Peg-O’-My- Heart” of the screen. In it, Gladys Hulette plays a Mary Pick ford part with such charm as to bring from the New York Morning Telegraph this comment: “Gladys Hulette is the little slum philosopher and her work is a joy”. “The Shine Girl” is a human interest gem in five parts pro duced for Pathe by the Than- houser Film Corporation. It was written by Agnes C. Johnson and it shows the hand of a master director, William Parke. Th^ dingy depths of a shoe- shining basement hold five thou sand feet of sunniness. “The Shine Girl” while shining shoes with her little hands, she polishes up the grouchy and brooding souls with a cheerful word and smile. The part she eventually plays in the destinies of four people is an important one, and watching the sympathetic enactment of the story, yOU'will cry a little, laugh a lot and then say: “That’s the kind of picture I like to see”. In the story, the little girl steals a loaf of bread for a hun gry friend. She is caught. A kind young judge of the Chil dren’s Court makes her see that she should not take what doesn’t belong to her. Later he is about to run away with another man’s wife. She asks him if he meant what he said, when he told her that peopl^ s h o u l d n ’ t steal. What could he answer? The p i c t u r e shows actual scenes in the Juvenile Court, and it has many touches which prove the director a master artist. Do You W ant Expert Advice? On March 15th, 16th and 17th, Prof. Larson of the Extension Dept, of the 0. A. C. will be in Estacada and vicinity, under the escort of Mgr. Frank Ewing of the P. R. L. & P. Go’s. Agricul tural Department. Prof. Larson is one of the lead ing authorities on potatoes, pota to diseases, seed selection, grains, clovers, vetches, and all legumes. Farmers desiring to profit by Prof. Larson’s work in the fields are requested to notify Mr. Ewing of Viola, so that actual field dem onstrations and lectures can be arranged in various districts. Proposed Cheese Factory Meets Set-Back Continued from first page past supplied the English market will not amount to 10 per cent of what they were before the war, t hi s condition being brought about by the slaughter of both men and cattle. ” He further de clared that “Oregon dairymen should center their efforts on cheese, as New York and Wiscon sin are the only competitors, and do not need to worry about buy ers for their butter, eggs and cheese, for San Francisco is-now paying 2 cents a pound more for Oregon cheese than for the Cali fornia product.” With such favorable conditions now confrontinting the farmers, we should continue the good work that has already been done and finish the job by establishing a cheese factory or some other form of local dairy produce mar keting. A willingness to let the other man do the hard work of promot ing an industry, is largely to blame, with the real meaning of the term “cooperation” being forgotten at this time. It has been argued by a few, that Estacada business men wish to control the industry if estab lished, but such a statement is not worth considering, for the local business men have plenty to do to attend to their own en terprises, but are willing to aid _ financially and trust to profiting* by development of Estacada as a trading center, which will natural ly follow. Attempts are now being made to establish or centralize the shingle manufacturing interests of this district in Estacada. The News has already received the promise of statistics relative to the amount of cedar timber along the Clackamas River, as compiled by the Forestry Department and has the promise of the coopera tion of the P. R. L. & P. Co. in the movement, the latter com pany being willing to aid in furn ishing an ideal factory site near the Springwater bridge in Esta cada, on the banks of the river. If this community will only stand and work together as a unit, forgetting the personal and community jealousies, a full share of prosperity now headed West, can be directed this way. And the only way to accom plish real substantia) results is through such an organization as the Farmers’ & Merchants’ Club. And the only way to keep that organization in a flourishing and rofitable condition, is for every usiness man and farmer in this territory to attend every meet ing and to take an active part. It cannot be made a success through the efforts of only part of the local business men nor through the attendance of a few of the farmers. And lastly, the very fact that the Estacada business men are willing to aid finanially and that the auto owners are donating their services in bringing the farmers to the meetings, should be evidence of the fact that no unduly selfish motives are behind their efforts. Another meeting of the Farm ers' & Merchants’ Club will be announced shortly and everyone is again urged to make it a spe cial point to be present.
