JANE" PROJECT WILL OPEN (Continued from Page 4) Application of every means of reaching the public to a "propaganda of good cheer," was the idea which led the Universal Film company to place the services of all of its ex. change throughout the United States at the disposal of civic and commer cial bodies in all of the leading cit ies for the Christmas and New Year season. "If enemies of human brother hood and enemies of patriotism can produce a zeeung of unrest by a persistent propaganda of evil, there is no reason why all of the organiz. ed agencies of publicity should no be able to create an effective prop aganda and the holiday Beason is the happiest time of the year In which to launch such a movement." This was the statement sent out to the various cities, with the offer of co-operation by the big motion picture institution; and during this month, by posters, slides, slogan lines in newspaper advertisements and by numerable other devices, public attention is to be directed to ward the idea of optimism, loyalty, good cheer and patriotism. In Portland, Oregon the move ment was taken up in co-operation with the film exchange, by the Great er Portland association, and Mayor Baker accepted the chairmanship of tbe general committee. A holiday verse writing contest is being held in which more than $300 in prizes are awarded, and the idea of the universal holiday season is brought before the various civic and commercial clubs by a corps of speakers who are giving their ser vices for the coming three weeks. Theatres are co-operating in spreading the propaganda, and tbe film company Itself is supplying motion picture shows to such insti tutions as have not appropriations provided to furnish their people such entertainment. Incidents of an Unusual Story Vest Her Role With Deep Interest How one quaint little nomad, a girl with a bicycle, drifts into a Maine town during a Thrift Stamp drive and not only helps to put the village over the top but also rights several wrongs and stumbles into a romance of her own, is most delight fully shown in "Battling Jane," the first Paramount picture starringf Dorothy Gish, which will be exhib ited at the Star theatre next Thurs day, December 25th. Dorothy Gish is a marvel of clev- ernes and in this role she is fully as charmnig as In any of her prev. ious parts. The story is one that lends itself to the talents of the star and her cast and in addition It has a buoyant, patriotic and uplifting theme, well developed by director Elmer Clifton and leaving nothing to be desired either in point of act ing, or investiture. The Bupport is unusually capable. 'When Do We Eat?" Strong Photoplay NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS MEETI.VG.

W. SPENCER, Cashier. Dated at Heppner Ore., this 11th day of December, 1919. Enid Bennett Scores in New Star' ring Vehicle Enid Bennett seems to have again scored in her newest Thomas H Ince-Paramount picture, "When Do We Eat?" which is to be shown at the Star theatre next Monday. It gives her a role to portray which calls upon all her powers of charac terization. From the time she Is cast adrift when the Uncle Tom show wherein she plays Little Eva is seiz- ed by the sheriff to the moment when she saves the young bank cashier and defeats the bank robbers, she gives, it is declared, a performance that Is not only artistic but characterized by its sincerity and verisimilitude. Miss Bennett Is a close student and when she is entrusted with a new role studies Its every phase' and endeav ors to mentally put herself in the po sition of the character which re sults in a perfect rendition. vice and the State of Oregon and de vise the best plan to pursue In bring ing water on this vast area of land known as the "John Day Project." From a personal view point I will favor the entire "John Day Project" for two reasons. First, the larger the project the smaller the overhead cost; second, that the work in de veloping this project should com mence at the right places so that it could be enlarged link by link and when completed it would be one of the most complete Irrigation' and Power producing plants In the North West and could not he over estimated in dollars and cents, its value to the State of Oregon. The board of directors hope to be able to enlist the entire North West especially Oregon and get their sup port in starting the necessary machin ery, to bring about the complete or ganization of the "John Day Project'-. Where funds may be obtainable through the National Government, State Aid and Bonding Company' to start and bring to a completion the irrigation of the 300,000 acres of land now of little value to the dis trict wherein they lay, and thereby giving homes to from three to five thousand families.

SISTER HAD FAITH FORD COULD DO IT The following appeared a few days ago In the "State Register" of Springfield, 111.: "Many are the stories of Henry Ford and his popular automobile, but Hillsboro is relating what it calls the best of the season. It happen ed In one of the leading churches of the city that the pastor took for the text of his sermon, 'Better rhurch Attendance.' "The pastor held that the auto, mobile has taken more people away from church than any other thing. He concluded his exclamation: 'The Ford car has taken more people to hell than any other thing that I can mention!' Whereupon an old lady in the congregation began to clap her hands and moan, 'Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! "What's the matter, sister?" ask the pastor. "The Ford never went any place that it couldn't make the round trip, and I am sure that all of those people in hell will be back," she an swered. "So praise the Lord."
