STATE MUST PUNISH
FARM LOAN FRAUDS
Federal Government Without

Fraudulent Banks.

The States can prosecute the fraudu-

Government cannot, according to an
opinion given by Attorney General
Gregory to the Farm Loan Board.
Operations OF gangs OF swlndlers seek

stock In alleged farm loan associa-
tons had been characterized by the
Farm Loan Board as fraudulent

ing that no association will be chartered
by them which has had any expense
for promotion.
II was thought that this ruling would
put an end to the swindles. But in Or
der to fortify their position the board
requested an opinion from Attorney
General Gregory as to whether these
men could be prosecuted under Federal
statute or not. The Attorney Generals

THE GIRL WHO SMILES COMING

Two old and well-rememberet
friends, Burt Leigh and Hazelle Bur.
CESS, return to us in a new musical
comedy which made a stay Of 81,
months at the Longacre Theatre, New
York City, and will entertain the PEG.
pie of Greenwood and the surrounding
country at the Greenwood Theatre o,
Tuesday evening, Dec. 26th.
The story could very we'll stand by
itself, and would make an ~exceedinly
interesting play, but it is, of course,
enhanced by its gorgeous music,
which runs to waltzes. There are no
less than half a dozen in this score,
any n which would carry a musical
production to success.
The story concerns Marie Fabre,
daughter of a scabbed old millionaire,
who has decided to marry her off to
the son of a widowed neighbor in or
der to amalamate the fortunes Of the
two families. Also he proposes to
marry his son to the daughter of the
widow, but that is merely incidental
and serves to bring together threads
Of the plot.
The son is interested in an actress,
to whom he presents a diamond
brooch belonging to his sister Marie,
which contains a miniature of their
mother. The sister, believing she has
lost the brooch, advertises for it's re-
turn. 1t is brought to her, minus the
diamonds, by an ~impecunious artist,
Francois Dechabelle, who has recov-
cred it from the actress, who has been
in the habit of posing for him.
Here begins the romance. Marie
falls in love with the artist, and he
with her. Marie, on the point of be-
ing forced to marry her fathers Sc
lection, runs from home and hides in
the Latin Quarter. Here she meets
Francois and his room-mates, a
and a composer, and their
cornwall friends, actresses, models
and others. The artist and his rome !
mates are about to be dispossessed for
Of rent, and Marie. in a secret
deal with the landlord, buys one Of
Francois paintings for a thousand
The landlord protests that
This is ten times its value.
However, Marie insists On paying
The high price; there is a great cele-
in the colony, and everything
goes well until the landlord in a drum
zen moment, tells the secret to Fran
,ois. This nearly upsets the plot, but
owe prevails and Francois and Marie
,lops. They return a year later with
| baby which, upon being presented to
is cross-grained grandfather, softens
lis heart and relents-and smiles.
