BABE' RUTH A HOME MAN
Every mother, wife, sweetheart,
daughter and sister will want to see
"Eabe" Ruth, the idol of America to
day, the home-run king, who comes
to the Star Theatre on Monday and
Tuesday as the star in a six-part super-feature
cinemadrama, "Headin'
Home." There is not a single woman
inAmerica today who has not listened
tc her husband, son, sweetheart or
brother refer to this remarkable
American sportsman.
To the fair sex "Babe" Ruth means
and exemplifies the best in manhood
He is an example of clean living. He
is what women characterize a home
man. His home and wife come first.
While he is in love with the national
pastime his family is a most happy
one and down in the farm section of
western Maryland "Babe" enjoys the
simple life. ,
His career reads like a Horatio
Alger, Jr., novel, for "Babe" was
adopted by Jack Dunn, manager gf
the Baltimore International League
club when a mere lad. He was edu
cated in the public schools there by
Jack Dunn who took a liking to him
after seeing him play in a back-lot
oame with other boys. Babe made
I his debut with the Baltimore Orioles
and then was sold to Joe Lannin, then
owner of the Red Sox and Providence
team. Babe was sent to Providence
nnd that year he brought the team
within an ace of winning the cham
pionship by his Splendid mound and
bat work. The following season he
went with the Red Sox who in turn
sold him to the Yankees.
The story that "Headin' Home"
ttllsmakes an especial appeal to the
women folks. It is based on the love
of a misunderstood boy for his moth
er and is intermingled with 9 sweet
love story.

"The Miracle Man" Hailed
as Picture of Unusual Merit
George Loane Tucker Production
Has Most Powerful Heart
Appeal.
Hailed by critics as one of the
greatest motion pictures ever pro
duced, "The Miracle Man" will be
displayed at the Star Theatre on Sun
day next. It is the screen version of
George M. Cohan's play that scored
to emphatically on Broadway some
years ago, and which in turn was
based on Frank L. Packard's famous
novel. No picture in recent months
has had so much praise lavished up
on it for the dramatic quality of its
story, its keen characterization, and
beautiful photography.
The s.ory of "The Miracle Man"
centers around an old patriarch of the
hills who has gained a reputation for
his power to heal the sick and crip
pled. To him come a band of un
scrupulous crooks from the slums of
New York Tom Burke, their leader;

PAIGN YERY SUCCESSFUL
After carefully checking estimates
made by the different cooperators
who have been poisoning rabbits
during the winter's campaign and
taking into acocunt the organized
hunts at lone and Heppner, as well
as the organized drives we find that
about 1 10,000 jack rabbits have been
accounted for during the campaign.
The problem of eradicating the jack
rsbbits is a serious one. Not only
k there a vast amount of territory
used for breeding grounds by this
! pest and is hard to get on to do effec
tive work, but it is also difficult to
get the rabbits to take any one bait
under all conditions. However, for
the most part the campaign has been
successful and pronounced by the U.
s. Biological Survey to be one of the
most comprehensive campaigns put
cr in this section of the country.
The result of the drive put on at
the Sloan Thompson place on But-
olua" n
tar creek to clean up -a badly infest-
ed area last Thursday show that1.
4C00 rabbits were corralled; another
drive put on there on Sunday net

Editor The Gazette-Times:
Wish to commend the article ap
pearing on first page of the last or
current number of your paper, Jan.
19, 1922, in which you, discussing
the political situation relative to a
candidate seeking the nomination at
the May primaries for joint repre
sentative for Morrow and Umatilla
counties in the Oregon legislature.
make use of the statement which
no one will question "So far this
paper has heard no mention of any '
one for this place from our own coun-,
ty. Mr. Woodson has declared that
he feels he has done his full duty by
his fellow citizens both here and in
Umatilla by standing for this office
at two elections and serving them as '
a legislator, a place, by the way, that
he has so well filled, and in which he
has set so high a mark, that it will be
no easy task for another to take his
place, so the field is now an open one.
Heretofore, Umatilla county folks
have conceded the joint represnta
five to this county as this is all we
have, and for our part we should be
glad to see a strong man from this
county put forth."
Having resided for about a quarter
of a century, half of my life time, in
Oregon, visited the Legislature often
at Salem and taken part in its pro
cedure and otherwise been intimate-.
ly associated with the law makers, I
have no persona! ambitions of a po
litical nature, but I think it my duty,
and so desire to announce to the re
publican voters of Morrow and Uma
tilla counties that I will seek the nom
ination at the May primaries.
Having traveled extensively in all
sections of the entire state of Ore
gon, and thus become personally ac
quainted with many of her citizens
and problems, having resided contin
uously for the past thirteen years in
Morrow county where I have an eight
hunded-acre wheat ranch, and have
wrestled with the problems common
tc the farmer and the stockman and
having had extensive interests and
experience in the stockraising busi
ness before coming to Morrow county
and having met in a professional and
business way the men engaged in
farming and stockraising as well as
other citizens throughout both Mor
row and Umatilla counties, I may
help some little to initiate some very
much needed and desirable legisla
tion if I am elected to this position
in the Legislature.
