llberality in national appropria-
tions towards agricultural pro-
jects and less money for battle
ships. National legislation to
aid agriculture is of the greatest
Importance.
Figures show for themselves
what the politicians whom the
farmer has followed blindly are
doing for themselves, and what
they are not doing for the farm
er. AS shown by Chairman
Tawney, of the Appropriations
Committee, of the total revenue
to the Government last year Il
dollars out of each 100 dollars
was used for military expenses.
This Is much greater than it
should be and calls attention to
the fact that from the same reve-
nue. only 81. IS out of each 500
was used to aid in agricultural
development. For public high
ways SO important to the farmer,
on which our best authorities
show that if we had the same
class of public roads in this coun-
try as they have in Europe there
would be saving to the pro-
ducers of this country of $50 mil
lion dollars annually, the same
Congress appropriated two cents
out of each 100 dollars.
Through your legislative COM
mittee when you ask for more
liberal appropriations for agricul-
tural development, you are touch
ing the heart of the nations
future and yon should definitely
outline your policy on that que S.
ton. To succeed you must be

25 million acres of the richest
valley of the world with all the
advantages of being cheap land

If made available, American
farmers who have left their coun-
try to better their conditions
could afford to sell out in Canada
and return to the Mississippi
Valley with profit and comfort to

with the valley lands of other
states amounting to Is million
acres, is idle ond unproductive

this same Congress set aside one
cent out of each 100 dollars from
the public fund.
If the Government would
spend one and one-half million
dollars a year for II year in sur
veys for darinage and in opening

make available % million acres
of Mississippi Valley land ready
for ditching at a cost to the Gov
eminent of IS cents an acre.
When this is surveyed and drain
age channelsopened, land owners
will put the land in cultivation
as fast as drainage will permit.
Certainly if the Government can
spend S35 an acre to put water
on 3 l-2 million acres in the
northwestern states, it can afford
to open its own waterways at an
expense of Is cents acre to take
water off of % million acres. To
successfully urge your Congress
men to aid in this agricultural
development would mean much
to your people and to the coun.

By WALTER ANTHONY

Class will tell. 1t proclaims itself
without the aid of press agent, and it
needs no self praise to make itself
known. You will pick Elita Proctor
Otis out Of the Orpheum bill as the star
Of this weeks program without refiec-
ton or thought. You need not know
that she was once Baldwin theater
favorite, playing prominent roles in
company with the best: and you need
not have ever heard about her before.
She proves her position as actress by
her acting, not her biography. Even if
you do not like her sketch. you will ad-
rlire her acting in it, and she will show
you how a lady may even play tipsy
role without vulgarity-a nearly i'm
possible task, isn't it? According to the
terms of the attenuated, slender plot.

name suggests without knowing that
she is imbibing q brand of booze, which,

tised in the dialogue. Mr.. Bun likes his

subterfuge by which il is brought about
that Mrs. Bun drinks the real. instead
Of the anti booze. are neither in
genious nor likely, but they serve, and
the rest of the sketch is given TO Miss
Otis TO handle with dizziness and humor.
The skit is worth little. but it is GER
taInly good TO see Miss Otis again.
Marshall Montgomery, in ventrilo-
ouism. has something novel to offer.
His dialogue with his manikin is not
sprightly nor particularly interesting
but his stunts" are amazing. He eats
nd drinks and smokes while speaking
for his sailor boy" and his transitions
from normal to abnormal Vocalism are
well covered. A whistling act closes
the number. Montgomery walks slowly
through the audience Whistling, while
