OREGON. FRIDAY DECEMBER 3, 1920. POPULAR MOVIE PROPRIETOR TRIES TO SLIP ONE OVER Tells Friends He Is Going After His Wife When He Should Have Said “Bride” Arthur W. Adamson, proprietor of the Play House, in his suave manner, causually mentioned the fact last week that he was leaving for Spokane to bring his wife home. Never for a moment doubting his word, and be lieving him to be a regular married man, his friends wished him bon voyage and a safe return with his wife, who was supposed to be leaving Valley City, North Dakota for Her- miston. But for the fact that a naughty little article appearing in the East Oregonian, not a single soul in Her miston would have known any dif ference, but low and behold, several large sized kettles of beans were spilled and numerous monkey wrenches were thrown in the machinery, when the mentioned ar- tide was read by friends of the young couple. Now the joke is on Mr. and Mrs. Adamson, but like the thoroughbred sports they are, they are having as much fun as anyone else on the joke, even if it is on them. Mr. and Mrs. Adamson were mar ried in Spokane, Washington, Mon day evening, and will make their future home In Hermiston, where Mr. Adamson is the live and efficient manager of the Play House. : The many friends i Mr. Adamson has made during his brief residence in Hermiston, wish him and Mrs. Adamson every success and happiness in life. 9 The article referred to is as fol lows: "Miss Sophie Schroeder, of Valley City, North Dakota, and A. W. Ad amson, of Hermiston, were married yesterday in Spokane, according to word received here today. The cer emony was performed by Rev. Joel Harper. Mr. Adamson is owner of a motion picture theatre in Hermiston and formerly resided in Valley City. The couple will make their home in the west end town.” EARTH QUAKE FELT HERE HERMISTON TAKES STANFIELD TO CLEANING BY 56 TO 0 LAST SUNDAY MORNING Few People Felt the Shock, Which Did No Damage In This Section The earthquake that was felt in Portland, Hood River and Spokane, last Sunday morning early, was also felt in our district. J. J. Casserly was awake at the time and says the room shook for about five seconds. He looked at his watch immediately and it showed 3:30 exactly. N. W. Bloom of the Columbia dis- trict was awakened by the shock as was his daughter Esther. Miss Bloom was asked by her father if she felt a slight movement of the house. They both decided at the time that it was a slight quake. The shock was not great, but bad enough to rattle the dishes. Miss Bloom states that several others In the Columbia iistrict also felt the shock. We have been unable to find any- ne who felt the shock in the city. EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS Of course, it you are in affluent circumstances and of a generous 'rame of mind you might drop a 'hunk of coal in the Christmas stocking. But these, professor, are the days when higher education means lower pay. Political writers in the daily press lave assumed the task of construct- ng a cabinet for the next president. And yet it can hardly be termed ‘love's labor lost." A lot of people ■an say that they were also men tioned. • Local K, of C. at Pendleton Session Initiation of a large class of candi dates and the serving of a generous banquet marked the meeting of the Knight of Columbus in Pendleton last week.

Miss Anna Ralph of Portland, sis ter of Joe and Frank Ralph, visited her brothers In Hermiston over Thanksgiving week. She returned to Portland Sunday morning. It was a great day for foot ball, lust Thanksgiving Day, and Hermis- ton defeated Stanfield 56 to 0. The air was crisp, and the latter end of the game it sprinkled a little, but the game went on just the same. The Hermiston hoys made two touchdowns in every quarter, making eight all told, and with every touch- down, kicked goal, quite a remark able feat. The Hermiston boys played like demons, and made yardage at will, also making several forward passes and netting long gains. The Stan field boys never gave up until the whistle blew at the end of the last quarter, and the local boys were al ways watching them, and succeeded in breaking up nearly all of their plays. Be it said for foot ball, that the two teams have Just finished their first year of real foot ball, and next year Stanfield may do the same thing to us, as they have some promising material, and when It is developed, will make a very formidable-line for any team to buck up against. The crowd was not as large as was expected, but that was probably due to the fact that some people thought there was not going to be a game on account of Athena acting so nasty about a return engagement. However, those who attended were well satisfied with the exhibition, But the crowd would liked to have seen the Athena boys play here. Sunday, December 5. 10:00 a. m., Bible School, Prof A. E.
