American Sherlock Holmes, and hero
of many of her novels-Stone. he
Will be seen in the flesh in 'Vicl1y
Van," Paramount's screen version of
one of Miss Wells latest novels, in
which beautiful Ethel Clayton Is the
star, and which will be shown at the
Isis theater today.
Ethel Clayton will be seen in the
name part, a sort of dual role. She
is in reality Ruth Schuyler. wife OF
a wealthy man old enough to be ner
father. With a legacy of her own,
to escape the hateful monotony of
her married life, she assumes a diff
ferent name, Victoria Van AIlen,''
and Disgusting herself, holds weekly
bohemian parties in an adjoining
house she has purchased. Her hus-
band discovers the game and abuses
her. He is later found dead--therc
enters the mystery and the detective
who solves the problem frees the
young widow from suspicion.
''Vicky Van is a modern defec-
tive story with all the attendant
thrills of a narrative of that descrip-
ton. 1t will appeal to all who like
a romance with a touch of mystery
and much suspense. Miss Clayton
is ably supported by a fine cast and
the direction by Robert G. Vignola,
is said to be highly artistic.

THE FARMER AND THE SPUDS.

A FEW years ago an Alabama farmer had 1, 200
II bushels Of sweet potatoes to sell, and a south
ern commission house offered him half cent
a pound for them. This was the equivalent of the
price offered per bllshel. At the time this offer
made swe eet potatoes of an inferior grade were
selling in the stores in northern states at five and
six cents pound
Investigation showed that there was not one
person or one firm that was making an unconscion-
able profit out of the difference between the
su1ners and the producers prices. But there were
altogether too many people getting some profit out
of each potato. There were too many mlddlemen.
The transportation cost was, naturally, part of
the leakage Railroads we're privately owned then
and freight rates lower than they are now, but
this not enough to bring the cost OF the consum-
er down to the proper figure. Some kind OF organ
zation was needed to eliminate number OF the leak
ages and to get the product moved to the consumer
by more direct rOutC-n short. to remove some
of tie lniddemen.
1t is still more necessary Now. Ih1S newspaper
is not ready with the solution. If it was the editor
of this paper would set up today as the greatest
economic genius of all time. Ee would write the
name of our beloved town on the map of the world
in letters big enough to be read from tie planet Mars
Getting down to the root 0: things, it seems log
ica that if man grows vegetable III Alabama, and
man in Michigan eats it, that at least four people
should be p;;, something--the man who grew it,
the man who transported it, the commission man
who distributed it. and the retailer who sold it to the
consumer. There is no excuse for other middlemen,
and this limited number of handlers is not sufficient
to explain the great disparity between the price re-
