\ PLAN TO MARKET
 HOGS COOPERATIVE
Plan Worked Out by the Government and Organized Under the
 Demonstration Agent.

County Demonstration agent George M. Johnston has worked out plan by which the farmers can obtain the top market for hogs. MT. Johnston ex- plains the plan in an article below:
 T am now listing hogs to be shipped comparatively Our marketing agent Mir. J. H. Tull, has shipped from Ar kansas already several cars of hogs at cost of about one cent per pound. All these shipments have worked out with great satisfaction, the farmer getting better prices for his hogs.
 Under this plan each mans hogs are marked, so they sell on their own merits. Great numbers of cars of hogs have gone from southern farms this winter with entire satisfaction to all concerned. I am offering to all farm CTS and stock men this plan of market ing their hogs through the Extension Forces.
 When you get hog ready for mar ket that is the time to sell. to keep longer you lose. Good hogs are now bringing good prices. If you have a few good hogs list them with me now or with any member of the County Council of Agriculture. When a. car has been listed I will set day for ship ment and notify you of this date, at which time MT. Tull, agent in market ing, will be present to assist with the weighing, marketing and shipping.
 Push your hogs from now until the day to ship, which will be sometime in March, and lets send out some good cars of hogs under the cooperative plan It is working in other counties, lets get it work ing here.

HOW A TORNADO is MADE
THE MOVIES

Those who see the wonderful wind
storm in "A Man Fight" are liable
to wonder how it was done. This
wind storm which is causing SO much
conjecture because of it's realism
starts with eddying gusts. The pa
pers on the office tables are blown
about. There is a rush to close win
dowS.
Outside in a Western street the
wind grows in power. A drunk
ambling along is blown off his feet;
a ChinlS laundryman has the family
wash blown out of his basket; jug
and other articles on display in front
of tho general store are picked up
and dance blithesomely away before
the power of the wind.
And then 1.-The heavy seeking
refuge from the blast near brick
chimney is mortelly injured when the
chimney falls upon him. 1t is all
very realistic and very wonderful.
The wind is raised in this particu-
lar instance by two giant aeroplane
propellers anchored - gasoline en-
gines and all on wheels, just outside
| the range of the camera on either
| side of it, in fact. At given signal
the engines are started. the charac-
| ters perform before it in cloud OF
| dust. the artificial trees bend and
SWAY and 1.-The effect" is on. The
wind raised by these propellers is eX.
ceedingly tornado-like.
Rather simple when you know it
but certainly a wonderful and reaii:

stage. For splendor of characterize:
tion, subtle artistry, distinction and
intellectual gifts, Mr.. Ditrichstein has
no superior among contemporary
players He is now his own manager
and unites in that capacity all the
ideals that have distinguished his
career as an actor.
Mr.. Ditrichstein will present on
Tuesday. October IA. the brilliant
drama of Henri Lavedan. the French
playwright, entitled THE Marquis de
Priola," which caused a sensation in
New York last winter. The character
portraiture presented by Mr.: Ditrich-
nounced his greatest histrionic tri-
umph. The author pictures the ulti-
mate end of the hereditary parasite
who lives solely for himself and by
degenerate ancestors, demands that
his life be a reflection of theirs. 1t is
daring play, unpleasant If you will,
but the scene showing the mental
and physical collapse of the Marquis
is marked by the very best acting to
be seen on the stage to-day Mr
| iDitrichstein will present here the
original cast of brilliant players and
the identical New York production

drama, as Mr.. Ditrichstein will be
seen in "The Matinee Hero" q ro-
mantle comedy of the stage, with In
innate glimpses of the domestic life
of a popular player. 1t was written
by Mr.. Ditrichstein and A E. Thomas,
and is based on the ever present and
always persistent ambition of the
good acton to better things. His role
is that of a stage star who sickens
of the poor stuff in which he is cast
every year-plays that please an un-
thinking public but starve the aspira-
tions of the artist Despite the ap-
peals of his business managing wife
