Wallace Reid In "The Dub" At the Star Next Sunday Wallace Reld's new Paramount picture, "The Dub," Is the story of a man who made good. One man sees him flinch in a trivial test of his nerves and decides that he is a cciward. The narrative shows In swiftly moving dramatic incidents how he proved he was no weakling. "The Dub" will be displayed at the Star theater next Sunday, John Craig Is the hero. It Is a splendid Heid part and brings out the best aspects of courage and man hood. Caught In a tight place, Craig refuses to be downed. Beaten, he refuses to acknowledge it, and he cornea back for more punishment, solving a mystery and twinning a beautiful girl in the bargain. The story wbb written by Edgar Franklin and directed by James Cruze, who has proved many times both as actor and director that he has a keen sense of comedy and the dramatic.

Jump though the hoops at a critical time In the history of Se at He. y "The cause of unrest that Is not bolshevism," he said, "Is caused by the large amount of (wealth destroy ed during the war. The remedy for this is unity of purpose on the part of all our people. Everybody must work and save, or starve." Speaking briefly of politics as he observed conditions throughout the country he predicted a dark horse would be nominated at Chicago, one whdse name has not yet been made public. "Conditions thoughout the coun try," he continued, "indicate that people want to buy goods at 1914 prices and sell them at 1920 prices. In other words, profiteering is the trouble. "I have no antagonism or hatred for the labor unions, but the ten dency throughout the country is to restrict production In order to get high wages. This is apparent in the South, (where cotton planters are be ing told they can get more for a two-third acreage than they can for a full crop. "The syndicalist arguos that the less he does the more lie will havo. Never before In the history of the world have the people enjoyed such prosperity, but tinloss we arouse ourselves to the crisis awaiting us and get to work, we are In for a ter rific bump."

Indications Point to Severe GaSoline Shortage in Summer Present Indications point to a se vere shortage of gasoline this sum mer, and right now here in Heppner, this shortage is quite noticeable). Ten days ago there was scarcely a gallon of gas to be had. The situ ation twas Bomewhat relieved when a ten thousand gallon tank was re ceived here and one of like capacity in lone.

"Truth-ln-Fabric" Bill Does Xot Suit Manufacturers Will Attempt to Defeat Measure. Washington, May 4. The "truth-in-fabrics bill" Introduced by Burton L. French, representative of Idaho and likely to be favorably reported by the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce, has stirred woolen manufacturers and several scattering clothing dealers to active opposition. A publicity campaign has been launched to defeat the French bill which would compel cloth manufac turers to stamp on each piece of cloth the percentage of virgin wool con tained and the amount of shoddy, if any. The same requirement is pro vided in the bill as to ready-made suit) on sale in the stores. Answering criticism of his bill of fered by manufacturers and mer chants, Representative French says: "It is, of course, apparent who the ones are who are opposed to the bill. They are not the consuming public, but they are the ones (who are hand ling woolen fabrics that the public cannot know as to the contents of virgin wool and shoddy. Their argu ments against the bill are the stock arguments that are made against the pure food and drug law, the oleo margarine law, and every other law that has sought to protect the public from the unscrupulous. "One dealer says that there would be great difficulty in the marketing that is the mechanical process. "We showed to the committee by abundant evidence that this is not correct. Some manufacturers are to day branding and marking their fab rics to show their trade marks, to show their firm name, or to shdw the contents of the fabric. We showed the committee that the cost would be appoximately one-fifth cent per yard, or in other words, less than on? cent for a suit of clothes. "Another merchant says that it will not drive ddwn the prices of clo thing, but that it will increase it. For the time being it probably would in crease the price of virgin woolen clothing, but unquestionably it would drive down the price of all other Iwoolen and partly woolen clothing for the reason that this other cloth ing is being sold at virgin wool pri ces, and the public would not know ingly pay virgin wool prices for shod dy clothing." Portland Oregonian. One of the finest catches of trout that Iwe have seen for a long time was brought In on Wednesday by Al bert Bowker.
