REPRESENTATIVE OF
KING VIDOR’S “OUR
DAILY BREAD” DUE HERE.
IKng Vidor launches his career as
a full-fledged independent producer
with “Our Daily Bread,” the power­
ful human drama which is scheduled
to come to the Oasis theatre Friday
and Saturday.
This dramatic film, which was not
only produced and directed by King
Vidor, but written by him as well,
tells the thrilling story of a young
city couple who find themselves on
an abandoned farm, amid a colorful
group of men and women, from all
walks of life—all determined to
start life anew, with the sun, the
soil, theelr and the water as their
new allies.
Emotional conflicts greater than
any that confronted them in the
whirling vortex of the city enter
their lives—and not the least of
these appears in the person of a
hard-boiled blonde charmer who in­
vades this potential Eden and uses
the old, old weapon of flattery on
the impressionable young husband,
threatening not only the happiness
of the loyal little wife, but the well-
being of all her fellow-settlers on
the farm as well.
Karen Morley and Tom Keene are
cast as the young pair, while Bar­
bara Pepper plays the blonde ser­
pent; John Qualen, who willl be re­
membered for his portrayal of the
Swedish janitor in both the stage

industry on the project. He pointed
out that there had been an Increase
of 15 per cent in dairy cows and 40
per cent in heifers during the past
year. He emphasized the need for
more cooperation In the federal di­

| In her report, Mrs. Geo. Genn an­
nounced that on January 5th, the
Washington Cooperative Chick Hat-
chery, would show moving pictures
of the growth and care of chicks, at
the Hermiston Union church. It
was brought out that 3000 more
turkeys were raised on the project
in 1934 than in 1933, and that the
number of chickens raised on the
project had decreased.
J. Jendrzejewski urged farmers to
continue the campaign of poisoning
rabbits, coyotes, magpies and goph­
ers. He pointed out that the coun-
ty court had allocated $1500 toward
the eradication of coyotee in Uma­
tilla county during the past year.
J. H. Reid stressed the need of era-
dicating gophers which may be car­
ried on by each individual farmer,
by planting poison carrots at leaat
once a year, preferably in the fall
while the gopher is storing his win-
ter food, and in this way perhaps
eradicate more than one of the peata
with the same baft.
W. G. Rodda reported that a dis-
play of melons and grapes had been
sent to the state fair at Salem, to­
gether with a display of grain and
forage crops from the east end of
the county.'
