DOROTHY GISH IN A GREAT
PLAY COMING TO PLAY HOUSE
The way in which perfectly sane
and normal people are railroaded to
private sanitariums by people who
want to put them “out of the way”
la nowhere more clearly shown than
In Dorothy Gish’s latest photo-drama
“Turning the Tables” which comes
to the Play House on Wednesday, De­
cember 1st.
A plotting aunt who seeks to steal
the fortune of her minor ward, and
an unscrupulous physician who was
promised a large fee are the engineers
of the scheme. Dorothy is brought
before another doctor and given the
sham trial of proving herself sane,
which can rarely be done under any
circumstances. In the end the aunt
receives her just desserts and Dorothy
is restored to the estate she rightfully
I herited.

Some Reasons Why
the Farmer Should
Keep Thanksgiving
Just now, apart from our knowl-
edge of food secure, perhaps some
of us feel it necessary to fall back
upon the private reasons for thank-
fulness. Each one has some bit of
personal well-being that can be brought
out and rubbed up and admired

“A SAGE BRUSH HAMLET”
COMING TO PLAY HOUSE
Comedy and dramatic suspense are
not supposed to be affinities, and it
is seldom that humor and the thrill
of combat are united in the same
scene. In “A Sage Brush Hamlet,”
however, William Desmond’s latest
production there is a fight which
combines the elements of hilarious
comedy and dramatic action perfectly
“Locoed Larry’ Lang, a cowpunch­
er (played by Desmond) when at­
tacked by a desperado, entrenches
himself behind a feather-bed which
becomes wrecked during the melee
and begins spouting feathers all over
the place, swirling about the combat­
ants like a young snow-storm.
Through this barrage of plumage and
bullets Larry finally shoots his way
to freedom with Dora, the girl who
wouldn’t leave the ranch because she
had been "willed” to the "locoed”
cow-puncher.
"A Sage Brush Hamlet will be
seen at the Play House, Sunday, No­
vember 28th.

ATHENA DEFEATS
HERMISTON 21 TO 7
THE DAY OF THANKS
prann of Hermiston, was the scene of
a very pretty home wedding last Sun-
day evening at 9:00 o’clock, when
their daughter, Ada L. and Robert E.
Hobbs of Portland were joined in the
bonds of matrimony by Rev. Ira D.
Hall of the First Baptist church of
. this city.
The bride was daintily attired in
| i gown of white crepe de chine and
carried a beautiful bouquet of pale
yellow chrysanthemums.
The house was prettily decorated
in roses and pink and white carna-
tions.
Twenty-five relatives and
friends witnessed the wedding. Af­
ter the ceremony, light refreshments
were served.
The happy young
couple left on the midnight train for
their ney home in Portland, leaving
a host of friends who join in best
wishes for their happiness.
UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1920.
Last Saturday City Recorder J. D.
Watson moved the office equipment
belonging to the city from the
jewelry store to the Western Land
& Irrigation company’s office, where
Mr. Watson will transact the business
of the city in the future.
Hollis Percey with his big truck
and several helpers moved the big
safe and other paraphernalia. The
safe was a trifle too large to get in-
side of the main office of the West-
ern Land & Irrigation company’s
rooms, so will rest temporarily in one
of the rooms just off the big office.
MISS BLANCHE PRATT

Miss Blanche Pratt, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. George H. Pratt, aged
17 years, died last Wednesday morn­

umbia district. Miss Pratt had been
ill for nearly a year, and was for
some time, at a sanitorium at The

every encouragement.
In a good game of foot ball. the
local high school team went down to
defeat last Saturday at Athena, 21
to 7. The game was slow for the
home boys on account of the slippery
field covered with grass. Our boys
have been used to playing on sandy
fields, and have if cleats in their
shoes and when it came to the grass
field and a little wet, they slipped
and lost yardage a great number of
times when on dry ground they would
have made constant gains against
their heavier opponents.
The most dissappointing thing
about the game is that the Athena
team won't come to Hermiston for a
return game as was planned unless
our boys put up a much larger guar­
antee of money than they had for the
game at Athena. This to us does
not show a good school spirit, and
does not benefit the game any. Our
boys did the right thing by turning
them down.
The local eleven have made ar­
rangements to have a game with
Stanfield high Thanksgiving Day,
and the foot ball fans can expect a
good game anyway.
Good Show
Last Tuesday night the great Shir­
ley, saxophone king, and his com­
pany played to a very small house at
the Play House. .
The attraction was a very good one
and should have been better patron­
ized. It relieves the monotomy to
have a good troup come in once and
a while, but Manager Adamson will
get tired bringing them In if better
support is not accorded them when
they come.
The show was above the average
and was enjoyed by all those who at­
tended.

We Thank Thee, Lord!
For all thy ministries—
For morning mist and gently falling dew.
For summer rains, for winter ice and snow;
For whispering wind and purifying storm;
For the reft clouds that show the tender blue;
For the forked flash and long, tumultuous roll;
For mighty rains that wash the dim earth cleans
For the sweet promise of the seven-fold bow;
For the soft sunshine and the still, calm night
For dimpled laughter of soft summer seas;
For latticed splendor of the sea-borne moon;
For gleaming sands and granite-frontled cliffs»
For flying spume and waves that whip the shies:
For rushing gale and for the great, glad calm;
For Might so mighty and for Love so true.
With equal mind.
We thank thee. Lord!
