CURB BROKERS FOOLED
 BY CLEVER TRICK
Try to Trace Stock Rumor While Cameraman Photographs
 Them.

Joseph Kilgour, whose latest ap- pearance on the screen is in the Vita graph Blue Ribbon feature, "The Writing on the Wall" had an anus ing experience recently while being photographed among a number of brokers on the curb market, New York City. The curb brokers object to being used as extras" by motion picture companies and have wrecked more than one camera.
 kilgour accompanied by his direc- tor, appeared on Broad street and when the brokers caught sight of the camera the two movie men were al most mobbed before they made their escape in a taxi.
 The director refused to be daunted and early the next day, he set up his camera in the window of a cigar store fronting on the curb. At the appoint ed time, Kilgour devoid of makeup, took his place among the brokers. As the camera was recording the scene, a broker approached Kilgour and said: Did you see those movie actors yes terday? We'll, hear that they are coming down again and we are going to kill them"
 Kilgour progressed ignorance where upon the broker related the incident of the previous day. The actor waved to one of the windows and recorded on his pad a sale of 5000 shares. The brokers sought to learn what this stock was and for a full hour the curb tried to learn full particulars of this big sale. In the meantime, the cam- era had done its work and the com pany returned to the Vitagraph.

WHY NOT BE SAFE?

t will bo the part of wisdom on the part of each and every farmer in Arkansas to play safe" this year and grow enough feed for all his stock and enough meat and vegetables for his family for whole year. Corn. Clover and Contentment" and Pigs, Peas and Prosperity" will be good slogans If the European war con- tinues We can only market about ten million bales of cotton and if farmers grow fifteen million bales they may expect to get about six cents for it, less than it cost to grow it. Plant a llttle more corn, larger patches of peas, soy beans and peanuts, and a larger field of Sudan grass, and an- other acre of sorghum, and bigger garden, and get another COW CT few calves and few more pigs and be sale, and then hold cotton until De- eemoer or January. Why not?
