W. B. Johnston, accompanied by

were visiting in Sherman county
last week. They drove to Condon to

returning to Salem last luonday.
Ti e rally day program at the Meth­

A large number attended the exer-

“On the Bank« of the Wabash” is
a remarkable screen conception ,of
the theme and spirit that Paul Dres­
ser sought to transmit to the worl 1
when he wrote the song which in­
spired J. Stuart Blackton to make
the film of the same name. It carries
with it all of the down home spirits
the dominance of the soil, the kindly
hearts; the narrow, misconstrued,
well-meaning souls in a home com­
munity, and carries to the audience
all the p< tty little things that disturb
gentle lives and bring men and wo-
nu n to the heights in face of grave
dangers. Such was the song, a trib­
ute to a stirring, daring people, who
lived and-loved and fought and made
up in the sight of the whirling waters
of the Wabash. And such is the pic­
ture that has seized the very throb­
bing, soul-stirring appeal of the pul­
sating rung and vitalized it on the
screen. “On the Banks of the Wa­
bash’’ is undoubtedly one of the
screen -triumphs of the year. It is a
picture of back home folks that : every
one will want to see and that every
one will always remember.
