A near accident occurred to members of the family of W. R. Irwin one day this week, while coming down off the schoolhouse hill. In coming around one of the steeper turns the brakes failed to hold and the car was turned over. It so happened that the machine was peine slowly just at the time and the car turned over easily, with the result that no damage was done to the occU' pants and thte car escaped injury ex cept for the breaking of the wind shield. Mrs. Irwin and Betty uere in the machine and Ellis was driving. Frank Shively, who is now farming on the T.

In order to avoid going over the high embankment and onto the railroad track below, and to avoid a collision with the machine of the doctor, Mr. Peymer, who was driv ing the car. turned into the upper brnk and the car went over. Mr. Beymer escaped unhurt but Mr. Shively was caucht under the car and was only prevented from having his head crush ed by the machine resting the bulk of Its weight on a rock. As it was. Frank receive! some bruises and cuts and has been pretty sore as a consequence. American lb Amrrti'tn ltrVn Nw StrvU When rvui;!as Fairbanks began the film ire of "IPs Majesty, the American,' savs the maraccment of the Star thea ter, where the big picture will be run Saturday. April he broke away from every pvduc t!on tradition that he knew This row film was to be Poug las Fairbanks first release through Vnited Artists Corporation the "Big Four" and inasmuch as it was to be hh bow as a genuine Independent pro ducer and distributor, "Doug" took the "lid off the cash box. From every standpoint of produc tionsettings, atmosphere, players and mechanical equipment "His Majesty. the American' is reported to outshine anything that Mr. Fairbanks has here tofore attempted. The story which was prepared by Joseph Henaberry, Mr. Fairbanks' dl- ector. with the assistance of Elton Banks, was worked over for eight weeks. It deals with the adventures of a young New Yorker who lives on ex- tement. His unquenchable thirst for new thrills, leads him across two con tinents and the settings ncessary for the portrayal of the story have cost a tidy fortune. A Mexican village was built In the hills surrounding the Fairbanks' st'id- los in Hollywood. In another place a omplete French town was constructed and in another section of the studio a Xew Tork tenement street was erect- ted. A French railway line was need ed so one 1 500 feet long and of stand ard continental design was laid, the carriages being the exact duplicate of the type in use abroad. The Interiors, like the exteriors, are said to be a revelation, both as to mag nitude and beauty. Although the new stage of the Fairbanks' studios is among the largest ever built It was not large enough for a tremendous interior of a palace. So one end of the gigan tic stage was removed and 60 feet of flooring added to give the proper pro portion to this beautiful and imposing scene. From the back of the main floor to the cameras measured 330 feet which makes this probably the largest Inter ior ever used in a motion picture. Supporting Mr. Fairbanks are many film and stage favorites including Mar jorie Paw. Frank Campeau. Sam Soth ern. famous New York and London ac tor and brother of E. H. Sothern, Lil lian Langdon. Jay Dwiggins, "Bull" Montana, Albert McQuarrie, Will Gillis and Phil Gastrox. HOLDS TWO LEGION OFFICES Winchester, V Man It State Histo rian as Well as Chairman of Americanism Commission. IV M.

MOON WILL BE IN FULL ECLIPSE 11:23 TONIGHT If the cU'iHls will only clear away and the skips brighten up. Heppner HtlzenB choul'l he able to witness the full eclipse of the moon tonight. From Tues'lay's Teletram. we take the fol lowine concerniris? this eclipse: AtTordir.K to the calculations of the astronomy classes of Reed college, the only total cclij.se of the preen cheese vitil.le this year to the western part of the Vnitert States will come Thursday nipht. from :."7 o'clock. Pacific time, until 2 33 o'clock the following morn- The class has calculated that at 8:57 o'clock the moon will begin to enter the outer shadow of the earth, but it will not begin to pass Into the real shadow or umhta until 10:03 o'clock. At that time, the shadow will begin to show on the rim of the moon, and will slowly advance across the moon s face until at 11:23 the moon will be completely with in the ul.adow, or the eclipse will be total.

"The Girl from Nowhere" Is One of Season's Novelties "The Girl from Nowhere," which Is to be the main offering at the Star theater next Monday and Tuesday is one of the season's novelties. The beautiful Cleo Madison and the dis tinguished actor, Wilfred Lucas, are the featured players. The scenic background of this pic ture is set In the majestic and rugged mountains of the northwest. Here amid all this beauty of the threat outdoors is enacted an unique irama of many startling and unique thrills. Under the sombre shadows of the mountains a beautiful young wo man is found wandering alone and be reft of her memory. Excitement, sus I'ense. mystery and the supreme ques tion as to who she is fill the five reels in which The Girl from Nowhere is pre sented with interest of the most grip ping nature. The climax of the story is reached when the villainous Klondyke Jim, who has forced the helpless girl to the mar riage altar against her will, is un masked and made to pay for his wrong doing. This picture contains what is perhaps the most impressive and dram atic surprise of any photoplay of the year. The action leads up to a point where it seems that heaven itself must intervene to save the beautiful girl from the arms of the bestial brute she is about to marry. The climax is as astounding as it is unexpected. TRAVEL PICTURES FOR POSTS Films Embracing One Thousand Top ics, for Use of All Legion Organizations. By arrangement between the Amer ican Legion and the bureau of com mercial economics, the most complete and valuable collection of educational and travel motion picture films In ex istence will be placed at the disposal of the Legion for free exhibition un der the auspices of all posts. The films, which embrace 1,000 separate topics, are the property of the bureau, an altruistic Institution the sole aim of which is to advance education and pride In American institutions. At the Instance of national head quarters, the bureau has prepared a special catalogue In which each film Is numbered and described. A copy of this catalogue will become the prop erty of each Legion post. The only expense attached to posts ordering the films will be the payment of express charges to and from the ve:.rest dis tributing center of the bureau. No ad mission fee may be chafed by the post. A distributing center for the films will be established in almost every state. ResihiiisiMlltv for the trans- Isslon of the catalogues and the In formation concerning the location of istrihnthiL renter to which pitch post must apply for films, rests with the state departments. The storv of the establishment of the bureau of commercial economics Is that of a fulfillment of a vow which a blind man took years ago, should his sigiit be restored. Ir. Francis Hol ey, the founder and director of the bureau, vowed to work for the bet terment nt miml-ln,! when he rrt'OV- etvd his sight, and the brucau is the result.

Tongue I'ost No. 101 of the Ameri can Legion '.u Chi cago, at a post meeting. "To prove that I stand up for my convictions, 1 have changed my name to Jacob Legion Tcnny." Tenuy said that there snould be a law establishing an Ame.ican standard of nomenclature ard that. In the meantime, it is up to jiembers of the American Legion to set the fashion. "Teinowltz Is a grand old name, but Tenny will be easier to pronounce," said Tenny. "I'm retuinlng my first name, Jacob, of course, but I'm adding Legion as a brand new middle name. So far as I know, I'm the first man who has named himself after the Amer ican Legion. There couldn't be any better name for a he-nmn son of an American service man than Legion." Tenny enlisted with the first contin gent of eighteen men from the West side of Chicago and served overseas. He Is a lawyer and at the last primary election was a Democratic candidate for municipal judge.

BARNARD LICENSED DRAYMAN Transfer and General Hauling HEAVY OR LIGHT WORK HANDLED Get us on the street or by phone, No. 662 mm fllINK what would happen if the Light and Pow er Company which supplies your community with electricity suddenly ceased to operate! The motor-driven machinery in busy factories would come to a standstill. The many little power-driven contrivances which add to the convenience of your shop or home would lie useless. Even the lights by winch you work and play would be snuffed out. Yet the great sendee rendered by the Light and Pow er Company is too often forgotten. It has become so much a part of our everyday life that it is taken for grant ed. Only on the rare occasions when something goes wrong does the Light and Power Company receive even a passing thought; ami that thought is perforce a damning one. In the light of actual facts, the Light and Power Com pany takes on an entirely different aspect. Its welfare and the welfare of the community as a whole are one and inseparable. The extent and character of the service it renders influences to a considerable degree the establish ment of new industries. And the more widely that ser vice is used, the cleaner and brighter the community will become, for electrical power is clean power. Literary Digest. laTTrffirnri will Vi wfflrnntin1 WifnTOa C. M.

The school system of America, as con stituted at present.

The changes which the American Legion advocates are, first, that English shall be the con trolling language In all schools, and, second, that the study of American his tory and civics shall be made compul sory to all school pupils. To accom plish these proposals the Legion will petition congress to formulate a reso lution recommending to state legisla tures the passage of statutes embody ing these changes."

We are now pleased with the progress made, and can say that the entire product, practically, of the Creamery is going into the hands of the local merchants and to groceries and general stores in a number of the neighboring commun itiee. Our Attn Is to Keep Up the Standard of Our Product In order to do this, we must have pure, fresh cream that tests up to the standard in butter fat. We are gratified to state that in a very large measure we are receiving this consideration at the hands of producers. We do not desire to turn down any offerings, yet to maintain the standard set, we will be compelled to do so. We should not be expected to buy small offerings of cream that have been so long in accumulation that the product has become rancid and is unfit for no other use than to be poured into the gutter; hence we must refuse to take such offerings in the future, purely as a matter of justice to ourselves and to our customers, who have the right to de mand of us the best product we can turn out. This announcement will no doubt be received in the spirit in which it is offered; we desire to get all the good, clean butterfat that is produced in this territory and at all times will pay the very highest market price for same. Please help us to maintain our standard of excellence. Morrow County Creamery Company Makers of Willow Brand Butter W. CL.WDE COX.
