Opera House Offerings

Natalie Talmadge, youngest sister
of the Talmadge trio, is member OF
the cast supporting Norma Talmadge
in her new Select special, "The Isle
of Conquest" which comes to the
Opera House tomorrow night.
In her role of "Janie," Natalie ap-
pears as a sister to Norma in her
screen character and it is said that her
delineation of the part is so clever
that critics already are hailing her as
future luminary of the screen.
"The Isle of Conquest" is from the
famous novel, "By Right Of Con-
quest" by Arthur Hornblow.
During the filming of this drama,
the star was called upon to leap from
the deck of sinking yacht, dis
tance of thirty feet. She made the
dive with such clean precision that
Director Edward Jose, himself re-
nowned swimmer, was amazed. He
asked Miss Talmadge where she ac-
quired her mastery of the water.
"Courage-that's it," said she. "The
greatest obstacle to overcome is fear
| and, not having ever known the fea1
of water, it was comparatively easy
for me. When Constance and | were
kiddies, We went to the seashore and
one day fell overheard. We screamed,
Connie and l, and swallowed gallons
of water, but we struck out instinct
lively and padded safely to shore. l
love the water and spend as much of
my time in it as the weather and exi'
gencies of my work permit" :"
The historic u S. S Alert, which
has been in service for 40 years and
which during the world war was at
the Azores acting as mother ship to
the submarines, was used for filming
the scenes of "Wings of the Morning" !"
in which William Farnum stars. This
picture will be seen here next Monday.
Permission had been granted Mr..
Farnum and his company TO work
aboard the vessel, and on his arrival
Ensign J. M. Jensen, the officer OF
the day, had all the sailors lined up
to extend a cordial greeting to the
star. Both the land and sea forces of
Uncle Sam were cognizant of the work
done in their behalf by Farnum during
the war.
In company with several officers,
Mr.. Farnum was taken around the
ship, which has been in service for
nearly forty years and was at the
Azores during the late war, acting as
mother ship to the subs.
: The entire day was spent in taking
scenes in and about the vessel, while
many of the officers and the "gobs'
acted as extras. They watched the
taking of the various scenes with 9
great deal of interest and gave then
screen idol an abundance of hearty
applause. WHell llc ltII Jlle bOyE

Farmers Urged to
Test Seed Vitality
Agricultural Education

Seed testing time is here. All
farmers are urged to test their
corn and clover seed before plant
ing time arrives. A great deal of
seed is reported to be of very low
vitality. Farmers living within
reach of High school departments
of Vocational Agriculture are
urged to take samples of their
seed to the school and receive an
authentic test free of charge.

It is estimated that there are only
so per cent as many spring pigs this

figure is too high. That the number
of brood sows in the country is prob

impossible to increase the supply of
pigs to an extent inside of nine
months This, together with the pos

THE FUTURE STOCKER AND
FEEDER MARKET

The government report of August
LIST estimates this years corn crop
at 3,O03, 900. 900 bushels, an increase
of sc, O00, 900 bushels over 1919. This
years supply of roughages win show
big increase over the ten-year av-
erage, and it is estimated there is
22O, 0OO, 900 bushels of wheat in this
country to spare. These facts mean
considerably lower priced feeds
A considerable area of the corn
belt, particularly in the north half,
got such late start this year that
they will undoubtedly have quite a
lot of soft corn which can only be
marketed by the feeding of live stock.
These men viii not purchase, however,
until they are positive of a sof. corn
crop.
Kansas and Oklahoma have for the.
first time in years a bumper corn
crop. Much of this corn is too far
from railroad for it to be proftabIy
hauled and shipped at the prices
which will probably prevail at that
time. For this reason, ami because
of the custom of this country, most
of this corn will be fed, but they will
until their crop is absolutely assured,
or in the crib.
There is certain to be q beef cat
tie shortage during the next nine to
twelve months. The average prices
paid for beef cattle during the next
twelve months will in our Judgment
show a profit. The Northwest will
only market about half as many beef
cattle this fall as last year. The
big decrease in the supply of stockers
and feeders taken by the Eastern
feeder in the past six months will re-
fleet itself in fewer beef cattle for
market from December to June, caus-
ing higher prices for beef cattle dur
ing that period, in comparison to corn
prices, than we have seen during the
past two years.
The Northwest, who usually ship
thousands of stockers and feeders
each year, will be very short this year
on account of the severe drouth there
last fall, the hard. winter and the
lack of money to refinance their herds
In addition to this, conditions were
never better in that country and
many cattle that would ordinarily be
sold for feeders will be bought by the
killers. - This same condition holds
good to certain extent in the South
and Southwest. Many Texas cattle
having gone direct to the killers this
year, instead of to Kansas pastures.
from where they would be sold as
feeders Many of those that did. go
to Kansas are in such condition that
they will be bought by the packers,
owing to the shortage of corn fed cat
tie
Money is really the controlling fac
tor in the market today There. are
many who would buy cattle at this
time, if it were possible to secure
money to do so. The rate of interest
seems to be of minor consideration
There are many theories as to where
all of the money has gone, some of
which are partly right but we feel
that the situation will ease up before
long and money will be more plentiful
but rates will continue high This is
to the advantage of the man who can

second place, the candidate who re-

which, fortunately, were enough to
land the nomination, received only
about one-fourth of the total number
of votes which were cast. Thus, the
nominee is the expressed choice of
only one in sixteen of the total ad-
