MAE MARSH STAR IN "POLLY OF
r THE CTRCUS.-

Polly of the Circus" tremendous
Goldwyn Picture made from Margaret
Mayo's great play, with famous Mae
Marsh as it's star, will be shown on
Tuesday, March 9Th, at the Plaza
Theatre.
The story of Polly" which has
been given a tremendous production
in it's picturized form, is that of "a
motherless girl of the circus, and Of
the part she plays in the drama Of
life in a small American village. 1t
is romance of the sawdust ring and
has been termed "the classic of the
Big Tops"
Polly is hurt while doing her "act"
and is taken to the home of the local
minister to be cared for. Here
pretty romance buds, but before it
blooms it is interrupted by the gossip
of the villagers, and Polly goes back
to the circus. But the circus comes
back another year and Polly and the
pick up the threads of their
romance in a dramatic climax
The picture is filled with realistic
scenes of circus life, the most thrill
ing of which is a fire in the big tent
and the stampede of the audience. 1t
required a fully equipped circus to
produce this realism, and you are per-
nitted to see a complete circus per-

A FOOD SHORTAGE is FEARED.

Chicago Herald when a paper so
conservative as the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger gives warning against a
probable food famine next year from
which the United States and all the
world would suffer it is no wonder
that papers in all sections are devot-
ing much space to the urgent need Of
speeding up work upon the farms.
President Wilson's message to the
farmers conference at the University
of Illinois emphasized the Importance
of intensive work on the farms in the
eliminating crisis of the war. His
assurance that farm labor will be
drawn upon less heavily in the sec
ond draft is widely commended. The
Public Ledger, however, asserts that
too great drain has been made upon
farm labor and that the need is i'm
perative for energetic measures to
serious that men of knowledge and
experience are talking about the pos
sbility, even the probability, of
food famine in the United States next
year"
Financial America makes a strong
argument to bear out its contention
that food may prove more effective
than bullets in war and that the
American farmer is needed at, the
plow more than in the trench. 1t
shows that agriculture gave to the

WILL TEST THEIR SEED CORN.

Following a county seed corn sur
vey, County Agent Rex E. Yockey Of
Woodbury. county has established a
seed testing station at Neville, which
has an initial capacity of 5,4OO ears
Over 500 bushels were registered for
testing the first day. The system in
use requires the farmers to register
the corn before they bring it in. They
are then notified as to the date 1t
should be delivered at the testing
house. The price charged is rs cents
for 100 ears. Results obtained from
the work show that sorted corn is
testing from 80 per cent to so per
cent strong, early picked corn from
80 per cent to 80 per cent, and old
corn better than 80 per cent.

FARMERS RESPOND TO PRESENT
EMERGENCY.

Il dare say" AYERS President Will
son, "that you are aware that the
farmers Of this country are as eff
cient as any other farmers in the
world. They do not produce more per
acre than the farmers in Europe. 1t
Is not necessary that they should do
so. 1t would perhaps be bad economy
for them to attempt it. But they do
produce by two to three or four times
more per man, per unit of labor and
capital, than the farmers of any Euro
pean country. They are more alert
and use more labor saving devices
than any other farmers in the world
And their response to the demands of
the present emergency has been in
every way remarkable"

OF DEPOSITS COMING.

Below will be found a recommends
ton made by Hon. John Shelton Will
liams, comptroller of the currency, in
his recent report:
81 respectfully submit for the con-
sideration of the congress the eXpe-
diency and advantage of providing for
the federal insurance or guarantee Of
all bona fde deposits in national
banks where the balance to the cred
it of any one individual amounts to
sum not exceeding $4,000.
Zone of the beneficial effects of such
plan would be to bring out of its
hiding places and into circulation the
large amount of money which is be-
ing hoafded, and which the owners
have been unwilling to place with any
bank which is not guaranteed by the
government. Such a law would also
have the advantage of furnishing
particularly to the poorer classes.
whose surplus earnings are represent
ed solely by their savings deposits
a guarantee which would contribute
greatly to their peace of mind and
comfort. 1t would give them the as
surance that their funds can not be
lost by bank failures or any financial
panics.. There have been too many
cases where the failures of banks
have brought ruin to hundreds of in
1ividuals and families and have some
times driven men and women to sui
eide.
"By limiting the amount guaran-
:eed to $4,000 for any one depositor,
we prevent the ably, efficiently and
managed bank from being
placed on the same competitive plane
with the bank whose management is
ess efficient, or less commendable; |
or depositors whose balances will
mount to more than $4,000 will nee
,ssarily exercise the same care and
in the selection of their
,ank repositories that they now use
when there is no such government
,uara1tee.
1T may be we'll to provide that on
y those deposits should receive the
governments guarantee upon which
he rate of interest is paid by the bank
hall not exceed per cent per an
lum. 1t is suggested that the gov
provide fund to meet any
osses which may arise under this
uarantee by the imposition Of tax
ot exceeding one-tenth of one per
ent per annum on the average amount
f deposits affected by the guarantee,
s ascertained by the banks periodical
eports to the comptroller of the cur
ency."
Mr.. Williams has made a great
omptroller-none greater since the
ffice was created-and this is his
est act
1t will do more to bring savings
ut of hiding and to prevent bank
lilures than anything that has here
,fore been officially recommended. I
