But the men behind the mega phone say they may as well try to sweep back the ocean with a whisk broom as to try to hold Jones in check when he gets his heart set on performing some new kind of a hair raiser. Despite the cautions of the directors to save his precious hide for another picture, Jones persists in 1am-banging his way into new featS of hazard
 Buck Jones is speed from his soles to his sombrero, it is declared, and despite the fact that he has been laid up several times with injuries, he has turned out no less tahn nine successful pictures in the one year he has been working under the Fox banner. He attributes a broken foot, a broken wrist, a gunshot wound in the arm and a. 1aeeration in his lip to nothing but hard luck The see narios and the directors weren't to blame, he admits.

OPERAS GOING HOME

New York, Dec. 23 Madame Ganna Wa1skay bride of Alexander Smith Cochran, mu1ti-n1illionaire, ap piled yesterday to the State Depart ment office in the Custom House for a passport which, if granted by Washington, willp ermit the prima donna to return, to England and France.
 Since the singers precipitate de- parture from Chicago, where she was to have made her operatic debut in the title role of .sZaza,'' rumors of loss of voice, acquisition of even more than one singers share of tempera- ment and finally, of trouble in the Cochran household, aave been rife.
 The latest rumor of break with her millionaire husband by the Polish singer, would seem to beb olstered by the fact that Madame appEed for herself. She was accompanied by her lawyer.

Financial Creed

Every individual in the Ninth Fed

scribe and live up to financial creed
during 1920. This statement of belief
will be brought to the attention OF all
newspaper readers, to all school child

bers and emphasized every way pos
sible by the Ninth District War Saw
ings Organization.
The source and nature OF the f1nan-
cial creed is explained in the follow
ing telegram received last night
from Washington by w. e. Harrison,
War Savings Director of this district:
Because the successful solution OF
the economic and financial problems
of the coming year demands the con-
centrated efforts of every American
citizen, the Savings Division Of the
Trasury Department urged today that
each adopt and live up to an individ-
ual financial creed and course of
conduct.
To obtain the views of the vari-
Gus parts of the country on this mat
ter, the Savings directors of the
twelve Federal Reserve districts were
asked to draw up such creed and
resolution.
ssThe following is complete sum
mary of their suggestions:

Exempting Farm Improvements

Every one will agree that the way
to increase certain activity is to re-
ward it and likewise the way to de-
crease it is to put heavier burden
on it, Nearly every one agrees that a
well-settled. well-built-up farming
community is better than a nearly
barren one. Now let us see how the
f1rst proposition applies to the second.
III we tax every new improvement
which the farmer makes, we burden
this improving activity by so much.
No one doubts that this burden dis
courages Improvements we deem de-
sirable.
Another burden on improvements
is speculation in the land on which
1.-THE farmer could put them. The specu-
lator holds the land for higher than
present worth and so keeps the set
tiers off until someone pays his price
or until he can no longer afford to
hold the land idle. All but speculatora
or those associated with land specula-
ton in some form will agree that this
activity Of the speculator is contrary
te the public good and might we'll be
discouraged. The way to discourage
speculation is to put more burden on
