'LIFE'S SHOP WINDOW"
IN MOTION PICTURES

'Life's Shop Window" the latest
novel of the English author whose
pseudonym is Victoria Cross" will
be vitalized in motion pictures at
Beck's theater next Wednesday,
February 3. The story is built
around the matrimonial adventures
of Lydia Wilton, a pretty and dash
ing heroine. Lydia is an innocent
m aid-of-all-work on an English farm
when the story opens, after which
she spends six years as mistress of
a lonely Arizona ranch. Yet she is
able, somewhat inexplicably, to as
sumo all the social airs and graces
natural to Pelham, born and bred in
much higher social station, and be-
cause of her half-gentle ancestry, she
feels this atmosphere to be her nat
ural environment The English and
American scenery depicted in the
play is very beautiful,

THE FARMERS REAL INCOME

Washington, d. c., Jan. 25.-Ex-
tensive Investigations into the pro-
fits of farming have indicated that
the amount of money which the av-
erage farmer receives for his years
work is little more than that which
he would be paid if he hired himself
out as farm hand to one OF his
neighbors. In other words, though
the farmer is in business for himself,
the average farmer gets little or no
money reward for the intelligence
and skill with which he has man
aged his affairs or the risk and re-
sponsibility he has assum ed. But he
must get something in return or no
one would trouble to farm for him
self. A recent study conducted by
experts in the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture shows that in
many cases this reward may best be
found in the products with which
his farm furnishes him directly.
When farm is nearly, if not quite,
self-sustaining, say agricultural ex-
perts, when it supplies the family
that lives upon it with most of the
necessities of life, large money in
come is not necessary to prosperity.
A greater sum derived from a farm
which yields nothing for home con-
sumption may leave the occupants
much worse off.
Under the title of Farmers Bulle-
tin 635, What the Farm Con-
tributes Directly to the Farmers
Living" the Department of Agricul-
ture is about to publish the results
of a survey of conditions on large
number of farms in the 10 states of
North Carolina, Georgia, Texas. Kan
sas, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, New York, and Vermont.
The farms selected for study, though
possibly a little more prosperous
than the average, were fairly repre-
sentative of their sections which, it
will be noted, included three corn
and cotton areas, two states in the
corn and wheat belt, two regions
where general farming was carried
on, and three different dairy dis
tricts. The average value of the
chief necessities of life-food, fuel,
oil, and shelter-used each year by
the farm family, the investigators
found to be $595.OS. OF these ne
cessities, estimated in money, the
