BLUEBIRD -
FRANKIVN FRBNUM . ft
& BROWNIE VERNON IN
"BRINGING HOME FATHER."
"Bringing Home - Father," the
Bluebird announced for display at the
Star theatre on Saturday, Nov. 24,
deals facetiously with two political
subjects constantly agitated prohi
bition and woman's suffrage. These
iBsues, however, are used simply as a
means to an end, for the comedy
drama is Intended solely as amuse
ment with no purpose to serve as
propaganda. Franklyn Farnum and
"Brownie" Vernon will lead a clever
company of players through five acts
of spirited entertainment, the interest
being chiefly directed to the unfold
ing of an engaging love story with
the desired happy consummation.
"Bringing Home Father" is another
proof set forth by Bluebird that
Shakespeare was right "The Play's
the Thing." Selected first for its en
tertaining value. Bluebird has en
trusted the various roles to players
best suited to interpret them, and the
result is sure to give complete satis
faction to the most exciting "fan."

The Oregon Garage
Home of the Republic Tires
Through an arrangement between
the medical division of the army and
the Oregon Association for the Pre
vention of Tuberculosis, soldiers from
Oregon will be defended against tu
berculosis with the same spirit as that
which sends them out to defend their
country against the Huns. The
names and addresses of applicants
for enlistment who are rejected be
cause of tuberculosis will be furnish
ed to the Association py the medical
division of the army. Those who con
tract the disease in the cantonments
or trenches and are sent back home
will likewise be made known to the
association.
The representatives of the asso
ciation in turn agree to see that ev
ery soldier has proper care. If he
can go to the state or other sana
torium for care, that will be consid
ered the Ideal arrangement. If he
must remain at home, arrangements
will be made to prevent the spread of
the disease and to see that he has
proper environment and food. When
necessary supplies will be furnished.
The work is to be undertaken to
prevent In Oregon anything approach
ing the scourge of tuberculosis which
has made It necessary to return 200,
000 French soldiers from the trench
es. The work with its extensive du
ties, will be undertaken by the as
sociation, working in conjunction
with the state health officer, In addi
tion to its regular work.
About twice as much of a budget
will be required next year as this. In
other words, the Red Cross Christ
mas seal campaign, which begins all
over Oregon December 1, must pro
duce $10,000 this year as compared
with the $5000 sought last year.
A. L. Mills, President of the asso
ciation and of the First National
Bank of Portland, has no fear of the
campaign's success. "The amount
of $10,000 for all of Oregon is very
small," he said, "both compared with
the State's willingness to give toward
so practical a patriotic service and
the amount of work that will be done.
The entire additional amount for the
care of soldiers will be expended
without overhead expense of any
kind.
"Another element that always aids
the appeal for the cheery Red Cross
Christmas Seal Is the fact that those
who have but a penny or a nickel to
Invest are helping the cause just as
these who have dollars. The high
prices caused by war haven't hit the
seals; they still sejl for a penny
each."
With the money provided from the
sale of seals last year, tuberculosis
surveys of .great value in controlling
the disease have been made in Lane,
Multnomah, Baker, Washington,
Jackson, Umatilla, Clackamas, Mar
lon, Union, Clatsop, Josephine coun
ties, and partial surveys have been
made In Grant and Wallowa coun
ties. Trained nurses have made sys
tematic visits to homes where the dis
ease was found. Instruction in care
of the afflicted and in hygiene has
been given. Milk and eggs, neces
sary 1o strengthen patients who have
tuberculosis have been provided
where they have lacked the financial
ability to buy for themselves. Work
has been systematically done through
the schools and the state has been
covered in a multitude of ways.

GOVERNMENT FREE SEEDS
ARE SCARCER THIS YEAR
Congressman N.J. Sinnott has writ-'
ten The Gazette-Times that he has
been informed by the Bureau of Plant
Industry at Washington that the al
lotment of vegetable and flower seeds
made to each member of the House
of Representatives for distribution in
his district will be 5,000 packages
fewer this year than It was last year. '
For this reason he is even more anx-j
lous than usual to get the seeds al
lowed him into the hands of those;
who can use them to the best advan
tage and desire to receive the same.
The congressman believes that the
method tried' last year of making the
distribution through co-operation
with the papers in his district Is the
most successful in bringing about this
result.
Therefore, when the seeds are
ready for distribution, which will not
be probably until January or later, a
supply will be sent to this paper. At
that time a package may be obtained
as long as they last, either by calling
at our office or requesting a package
by mall. Congressman Sinnott will
also retain a small part of his allot
ment at his office 242 House of Rep
resentatives, Washington, D. C, in
order that any of his constituents
finding It inconvenient to get the
seeds In the above manner may ob
tain a package by writing directly to
him at Washington.
Wm, Dunn, for many years con
ductor on the Heppner branch, and
now engaged in business in Pendle

Dunn expects his son Harold home

Frank Engelman and Carl Yount,

S. L. Beck, lone well driller, was

Choose the Chandler
Because It Offers
So Much More
BY people who are familiar with motor car values the
Chandler is most commonly compared with high-priced
cars, "because, in so many essential features of design, con
struction and equipment, it checks so closely with the high
priced cars. And because so few, if any, of these distinctively
high-grade features are found in other cars selling for less
than $2000.
Yet the Chandler price is only $1595.
The intelligent automobile purchaser is not misled by
further threatened price advances of cars striving to maintain
some degree of a leadership that has passed.
There have been some necessary price advances within the,
year. And some unnecessary ones.
If you choose carefully from among well-known medium
priced cars you will choose the Chandler, because of its
extraordinary value.
