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.
The support Is excellent. Pretty
Nina Byron, whose work in recent
Artcrai't and Paramount pictures has
won her many admirers has the lead-
ng feminine role. And four of the
finest character actors in the pictures
ire cast In Important roles. They
are Raymond llatton, Winter Hall,
Rnlph Lewis and Charles Ogle. Guy
Oliver Is also among those present
with a splendid comedy part. And
Hilly Elmer gives an unforgettable
portrait of a hard boiled egg of a
burglar.
Will M. Hitchey put the Btory Into
screen form. Charles Kosher was
the cameraman and William Horwltz
assisted Mr. Cruze with the direction.

Film Fans Admire
Hart's Qualities
Virility, the breeziness of the
West, the qualities of manhood that
inspire admiration, are the strongest
traits of William S. Hart, whose la
test Artcraft picture, "Breed of Men '
will be shown at the Star theater
next Friday.
During his screen career, Mr. Hart
has depicted Western types of every
description bad men, punchers,
woodsmen, ranchers, etc. His re
markably forceful personality im
parts a realism to his acting that
lifts It out of the commonplace and
renders is distinctly superior and
convincing.
His nelw picture offers great op
portunities tor the famous star, for
the role he portrays Is that of a posi
tive daredevil among cowpunchers,
a man who Is afraid of nothing. He
Is Involved innocently in a great
wrong twhich he righted, finally utter
some strenuous work. Seena Owen
is his leading woman.
Work, Save or Starve Is Warning of
Olo Hanson,
Chicago, May 4. "Work and save.
or starve, was the warning given
here by Ole Hanson, former mayor of
Seattle, and the man who made the
1. W. W. 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." Portland Telegram...

Fire Destroyed Farm Home.
Fire completely destroyed the
farm house of Adam Blahm, four
miles below Heppner, one day last
week. A high wind was blowing at
the time and the fire burned with
such intensity that it was impossible
to save anything in the house. Help
from Heppner prevented the flames
from spreading to the barn and other
out buildings. T';e loss is estimated
at $4000. There was some Insur
ance.
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. Since the first of the week,
this oil has been practically sold out.
Certain reservations are being made
for truck men and farmers who are
doing tractor work. Geo. W. Milhol
land, local agent for the Standard
Oil Company says that most people
do not full realize the seriousness of
the gasoline situation today, or they
would be more saving. It is his
opinion that a shortage exists in this
territory right today that may not
be overcome this summer.

"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.
