They are ambitious to Improve the programs of the house during the summer mouths and are now nego tiating for a higher class of pictures. It Is the Intention to give their pa trons Paramouat-Arteraft service If It Is within their reach. Picture show business is not what it used to be as there la much ad ditional expense In the way of war tax on admissions, films, express, etc.. besides during the vacation period the crowds are always less because of people moving out for the summer - besides nil the boys who are In the army and other- older boys in the shipyards, therefore the crowds are small. They have some special programs arranged for the celebration period next week. On the night of the 3rd they will show "The Battle of Getty burg" as a special in keeping with the Pioneer Day program. This will be of marked Interest to the old peo ple and the O. A. K. men and their wives nre to be made guests of honor at this program if they desire to at tend, with seats reserved for them. On the night of the 4th a big dou ble feature Is provided that Is full of the spirit of the times. "In the Wake of the Hun" and "The Stars and Stripes In France", are both bill ed for thut night, also a good come dy. TbOM pictures are sure to be not only Inter. 'Ming but thrilling to I lie people. On this evening the man agement will reserve seats for the boys who leave in tie' army draft on July 6. The boys are to be given i feed by the Honor Guurd (Drls at 8 o'clock and following this dinner they will be guests of the Liberty during the program, going later to the hall for the dance where they will again be the honor guests of the Honor Guard Girls.

THE PRINCIPLES OK 1770 AH AP I LIED TO OCR PRESENT WAR The United States is '.lie only coun try whose government v. as construc ted upon the principles of human right, and human liberty. The gov ernments of European countries grew up by degrees as extension, and consolidations of the feudal system. They were autocratic, opposed to In dividual freedom, and any advance In liberty ror the body or the people hud to h"' wrung from them by bitter niu rilct. The Culled State government on the contrary, came Into being as a guarantee of the liberty of the people The rtrst statement in the Declar ation of independence tn knowledges man's right to "life, liberty and the pursuV 'i.f happiness," and the for mation of a now country Is based up on Hit' oiiein.es or the king against this right. The men who signed the Declara tion did so us a protest against arbi trary power. They had little to gain ami much to lose by the separation rrom the mother country.. American troops were tew- and undisciplined. American resources undeveloped. The outcome or the struggle for ludepen dece seemed at the time more than doubtful. Yet these men With hun dreds or their rollowers. chose to hazard their property, their homes and families and their very lives In defence of the principle of human liberty. America war victorious in the war. .in) acme to a position where she could develop her power and re sources. The United' States became one or the greatest and most prosper ous nations of the world. But the circumstances or her Inception have laid a peculiar obllgaton on her. She must stand as the champion of free dom of be recreant to her own tra ditions. Our entrance Into the war with Germany la the logical outcome or this position. We were predestined to It. The United States could not watch unmoved the spectacle of a great arbitrary power, utterly un scrupulous as to means, using Its mighty resources and Its strong mili tary system toward the enslaving of Europe. Our national holiday this year will be both a celebration and a solemn ity. We are giving our money power nd our men power toward the pro secution ot a great war, In order to ensure to the free of this country and the oppressed of Europe the right to "lite, liberty and the pursuit ot happiness, 'not only ror today, hut ror generation, to come. On this an niversary or the birth ot our nation let us reel more than ever that In such a cause no sacrifice can be too great,--that the love of country and the love or humanity are not mere phrases, but a living reality to us all. o Itev. Dr. Papazlan made a tine ad dress rrom the steps of the court house in this city last Tuesday after noon to a large gathering. Dr. Papa zlan Is an excellent speaker and gave his hearers a Hue address on the war situation. He was here In the particular Interest or the Armenian relief drtvu which is now on, but he made no direct appeal to aid this fuoa- to the detriment of other fa erring war aids. , w ( g TO WILD NATATORIl'M WARM HPHINUN HIGHWAY COMMISSION ' ASKS CO-OPERATION Sends a Copy Resolution Adopted On Appropriation of Funds for Road Work in Harney County Proposi tion Means Likely Expenditure cf $45,000.00 During Present Season HONOR GUAM) GIRLS OPEN HEADQUARTERS The writer had the privilege of visiting the headquarters recently I opened by the Oirla National Honor Guard In this. city.

RESTRICTIONS ON MEAT - Hl'MITION IN OREGON ARK CALLED OKI Meat restrictions are off in Oregon The regulation limiting the cou.ump lon of meat per person to two pound, u week has been lifted for Orago and certain other state, according to a recent ruling of the national food administration.

The Htate has an abundant supply of meat on hand, which cannot be shipped out; hence, it should be eaten.
