condition. Is estimated at 794.147,
000 bushels, compared with tie final
1919 estimate of 941.000.000.
Oats: July weather conditions
were favorable for the development
of the oat crop, and the August 1 con
dition figure as reported by field aids,
(SS per cent) indicates an average
per acre yield for the state of about
41.0 bushels. With an estimated oat
acreage of 350.000 the 19!0 crop
should amount to about 14,360,000
bushels. While very little threshing
has so far been done, the heads are
well formed and well filled and the
prospect is very promising. Cutting
is practically finished, except of some
late sown fields. The 1919 Oregon
oat crop was estmated at 11,104,000
bushels.
The United States oat crop for
1920 Is now estimated at 1,40:,000,
000 bushels as compared with the
191S estimate of 1,3:2,000.000 bushels.

farm house. A private, wandering
through the fields, came upon a
young girl sowing seeds.
"Yah!" he sneered. "You shall sow,
but we shall reap."

she replied sweetly. "You see, I'm

"MADE GOOD" WITH CAMERA

Into the position of official photog
rapher to the expedition. viewed this
arrangement with many misgivings
because It was a task for maturity
and long experience but the young
man made good. He made good 100
per cent, not only with the big game
rifle, but in wild animal photography
as well.
Mr. Kermlt's masterpiece Is his best
picture of a whole herd of elephants
in a high but rather open forest, Wil
liam Hornaday writes in Scribner's
The light was none too good, but for
tunately it was good enough. This real
achievement was scored from a perch
on a low limb of a tree, conveniently
placed to drop the Intervening brush
out of view. Five tuskers appear in
the front line, and the elephants are
massed together In the composition as
neatly and perfectly as If the hand
of man had grouped them to get all
the flankers into the picture.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt was ver
proud of this picture, and so were
the editors of Scribner's magazine and
the "African Game Trail" book.
Splendid Musical Revue Coming.
Crist and Costa's delightful musical
revue, "The Dancing Kewpie Dolls"
will be the offering at the Star thea
ter Saturday. This company is a de
parture from the ordinary run of
musical shows that have been tour
ing in these parts and their offering
is the odds and ends from all the
principal musical comedy production
now appearing in New York City and
is the same calibre, of acts that are
featured over the Orpheum Circuit
and the Pantages' as well. The prin
cipal players who are appearing with
the "Dancing Kewpie Dolls" are such
well known and versatile entertain
ers as Merrill La Velle, Albert Mac-
Donald, Misses Lillian Leslie and
Dorothy De Vere. The company
carries a most sumptuous production
and the costumes are all of the latest
design and lend class to their offering
us well.
There is much fun and laughter
throughout the entertainment with
comical situations that cause no end
of laughter and trie song numbers
are all direct from the big show's and
are new and catchy. "The Dancing
Kewpie Dolls Revue" is entertain
ment worth while and is playing to
full capacity houses in every city
which it has visited this season, and
this rule should also prevail here.

Returns From Portlnnd.
' Mrs. L. G. Herren has just return
ed from Portland, where she went
some two weeks ago to take the fin

of Corsetry.
This school is an innovation in that
it accepts only women who have had
practical experience, and who are
ready to take the flnshing work.
The Gossard School of Corsetry is
the oldest and foremost Institution of
its kind in the United States, and its
graduates are accepted as expert au
thority in modern hygienic corsetry.
The women of Heppner may well
deem it a privilege to have the ser

Dorothy Gish in "Boots"
At Star Theater Sunday
it you were a slavey in a London
boarding house, and your Job was to
take orders from every one who had
lodging there, and if one of the
boarders ordered you to feed her pet
mice, and you did, and one of them
got out of the cage, and ran right
at you ! Well, now, just what
would you do?
That 1b the situation that con
fronted Dorothy Gish when "Boots"
her newest Paramount picture, which
will be shown at the Star theater
next Sunday was being made at the
Hollywood, Calif., Btudlos. And to
muke matters much worse, Miss
Gish knew that the horrible camera
was being turned every second and
that all the attempts she might
make to get away from that mouse
would be indelibly registered on the
film.
That had not been arranged for
in the Btory, and it wasn't quite fair.
Of course, the didn't think that all
out during the moments when she
was threatened by this tiny rodent
running around loose on the stage
because she was trying to listen to
Elmer Clifton, her director, and at
the same time save herself from the
ferocious beast that insisted on get
ting right under her feet every time
it had the opportunity.
There were tables and chairs and
other things in the room and Doro
thy made good use of them. The
mice, by the way, have a lot to do
with the story, and when the scene
was finished Miss Gish consented to
go through a little more of the ordeal
in order to have the whole thing in
the picture. Miss Gish is splendidly
supported in thin photoplay.
