STAR THEATRE
THE PLAYHOUSE WHERE PEOPLE AT
TEND BECAUSE THEY ARE COM
FORTABLY ENTERTAINED.
We have an advantage living in a small town,
as we do, because our pocket book is not long
umugh to enable us to run all "First Run" pic
ture. I!y the time pictures reavh us thev invar
iably have the stamp of approval of public opin
ion, the approval of the millions of people in the
I'nited States who attend the movies. The opin
ion of those who do not attend can be of little
value. We are willing to admit that there may
be poor pictures put on the market, but they do
not stay on for any length of time, for they must
stand the acid test of truth and good.
Pictures are similar to honks, poems, paintings, music, no
one composition ever sa islied tastes; but it must lie ad
mitted by all fair-minded people that the majority of the pic
ture:; today portray our joys anil oar sorrows, our ;;,oodnets ntnt
our weakness, as oiee or pen cannot.
When you attend a picture play, with very few excep
tions, you will see the advantages of clem, honest, truthful
living displayed, you will see nil virtues exalted, von will see
vice, intolerance and selfishness held up In sci:n, you will sen
Ihe good rewarded and the evil punished.
The moving picture today Is the most potent factor in the
education, mental and spiritu: 1, of the masses. The wise r.re
taking advantage of conditions. The others are out with their
hammers.

FIRST IN IMPORTANCE to the
residents of any city Is plenty of good
wholesome water; Second In Impor
tance Is good electric service, neither
of these utilities can be secured or
operated without assistance financial
ly and favorable public sentiment.
The Public Service Commission of
Oregon regulates the operations of
all private utilities, it determines
maximum rates to be charged for ser
vice. It has access to all construction
and operation cost data of the utili
ties. It ha sheld two hearings in. Hepp
ner to adjust rates of The Heppner
Light & Water Co.
In the succeeding orders the Com
mission has advised that The Hepp
ner Light & Water Co. is being oper
ated at a loss, and that it "cannot
continue to do so, and unless relieved
it must discontinue operation."
For three years past it has been
charginy up an annual loss of $5000.
Justly and legally the company is en
titled to revejiue sufficient for oper
ting expenses and a return upon its
investment.
On January 1st, 1921, the Com
mission increased rates (which are
now effective) in Heppner, Lexington
and lone, which increase will no more
than overcome the annual deficit, any
higher rate would impose a hardship
upon some patrons, the Company
does not want nor will it at this time
ask for any further increase, it will
try out thi new rate for a month or
so, and hope its patrons will meet it
"half way" in the sacrifice it is and
has been making.
It Is waiting for the coming change
In the affairs of the country to pu;
It on a paying basts nnaln and Us
patrons on an easier rate for s-ervlce.
35 per cent of all of its expenses
are expended in Heppner for labor,
53 per cent are expended ror fuel,
whenever the two factors are reduced
rutea will be reduced.

Laying hens must have foods con
taining egg-making elements. Anal
ysis shows the following: Ash, 12.5
per cent; water, 65.7; protein 11.4;
fat, 8.9. The hen cannot counter
feit her product and must have the
real elements in sufficient quantity
to manufacture eggs out of surplus
feed. Poultry, O. A. C.
The final cost of a fattened lamb
is figured at the Eastern Oregon
branch experiment station, Union, as
follows: Cost of feeder lamb, 60
pounds at $10 a hundred, $6; inter

barley at $60, $2.25; labor at $6 a
day per each 100 lambs, .0 5; total
cost, per lamb, $11.44. The gain
