APOCALTPJl;
AN UNSOLICITED TRIBUTE FROM FANNIE
HURST, AUTHOR OF "HUMORESQUE"
My Dear Mr. Rowland:
Metro Pictures Corporation.
I came awav so thrilled and moved bv THE FOL'R HORSE
MEN OF THE APOCALYPSE that I had the same feeling l exper
ienced the first and only time I saw Sarah Bernhardt. I didn't want
to po home, hut to walk miles and miles under the spell of what I had
seen. I may seem a bit superlative in my appreciation of this film
hut o me it amounts to a climax in the entire history of the screen.
Last night marked a hirhday. The eighth muse had come of age.
.Mr. Ingram, Miss Mathis, Mr. Ihanez, every one in fact connected
with the masterpiece, is to be congratulated to weave that enormous
story into a tapestry the size of a motion picture screen, and at the
same rime to keep its integrity of form, purpose and beauty is artistry
raised to the nth power.
I'm a raher querulous picture goer, not half satisfied with
conditions, but seeing the "Four Horsemen" has renewed my faith
in the enormous potentialities of the screen.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) FANNIE HURST

5 ,w
lation," a Goldwyn Picture, coming
to the Star Theatre Sunday, Dec. 31.
One of the hardest bits of acting
for children is the sleeping scene.
The little eyelids will flutter open.
Rogers gathers up the little ones in
this picture, and so realistically does
he make tbem feel the soothing ef
fect of his crooning voice, that the
children put over their little scene
like experienced actors. If the au
dience will watch, the words of the
old song as Rogers sings it are easily
giseernabie.
The remarkable acting of the chil
dren, Robert DeVillbiss as "Rip" and
Jeanette Trebaol at "Patch" has
caused many favorable comments
among reviewers and critics.
Certified Potatoes Grow 'Em
How can certified seed potatoes be
produced? This question coming
from all sections of the state will be
answered during part of the farm
crops work given in the winter short
course next January. The agricul
tural college has been encouraging
the production of better kinds of po
tatoes and there will be a series of
lectures Bhowing how to do this
work. Special emphasis will be
placed on the control of troublesome
diseases.
Many farmers are handicapped by
lack of storage facilities for their
potatoes. Believing that an expen
sive storing place is essential they
frequently do not provide storage
when in many instances it could be
made very conveniently out of ma
terials already at hand. The potato
storage problem as well as the grad
ing and marketing of potatoes will
be a feature of the crop work in the
winter short course at the agricul
tural college next January.
Christmas Mail Is Heavy.
There was an unusually large
amount of Christmas mail to be han
dled through the Heppner postoffice
this season, and for two or three
days Postmaster Smead and his office
force were literally swamped by out
going and incoming parcels. This
would seem to indicate that the peo
ple generally had plenty of money to
spend during the Christmas season.
The Boy Scouts will be entertain
at a dinner to be given at the home
af Scout master W. 0. Livingstone on
Friday at 12 M. All Scouts of troop
No. 1 of Heppner are expected to be
present.

Wise Men
HE Christmas season annually brings to mankind the thoughtful
hour of serious retrospection and the importance of governing
their affairs in a manner befitting wise men.
The Spirit of Christmas is the ideal in the absolute, but quite
often it carries with it hardships to men of families and brings
them face to face with their own shortcomings and failures to sub
stantially build structures of supply for those they love.
Maybe such hours have been yours and maybe right at this
moment you realize the necessity of changing your course. It i3
never too late, you know.
If so, we feel we are conferring a service in again calling your
attention to the fundamentals of peace and plenty which, briefly,
are Vision and Thrift.
Vision is the understanding that all is well with our ever-progressing
world. Thrift is a common sense conservation of our tal
entswhich may be labor or money.
After all, ffloney is only stored-up labor. So to save
money is to intelligently store up labor to distribute
or equalize it over the span of life.
The New Year is at hand not to dissipate on idlle
resolutions which will never be kept. On the other
hand a sincere desire to build up an independence for
your loved ones and your own old age, will be its own
resolution.
This institution wishes you success in such resolves
and stands in Heppner ready to serve you in fulfillment
of such worthy endeavor.
