WIND STORMS DO
MUCH DAMAGE TO
CROPS OF GRADY
Planting OF Some Crops Delayed;
Growing Crops Hurt by Sand Muir
ricanes Report of County
Ageie Agent.

Grady county crops are suffering
as a result of the recent sand and
wind storms, according to J. w Ow-
ems county agricultural agent, who
says that the damage in the county
is enormous.
Wheat in the sandy portions is suf-
fering; corn prospects in almost ev-
cry vicinity has been stunted; oats
and barley, which were planted in
February, have been whipped almost
to the ground by the blowing sand,
and cotton planting will be delayed
for at least fifteen days, Agent Ow-
ems said this morning.
Temperature of the soil, Mr.. Ow.
ems said, would delay the planting
o )tton. In normal times, cotton
planting in Grady county would be
gin some time This week, Mr. Owens
declares.
All crops have been delayed two
or three weeks.
Sandy Soil Blowing.
Leaving in its path many barren
spots in heretofore verdant fields
Of the growing crops the wind and
sand storms that have visited Grady
county daily during the last several
days will cause much crop replant-
ing, Agent Owens believes.
The sandy soil blowed with the
high winds, therefore the heavy dam
age was done in the sandy portions
of the county, which is northeast
around Tuttle and in the vicinity
of Rush Springs and Acme.

SAVE MONEY ON
MEAT WEEK ON
TODAY IN WEST

Washington, April To-day be.
gins Save Money on Meat week in
all states west of the Mississippi,
with the exception of Arkansas, Lou
isiana, Iowa, Missouri, Oregon and
Washington, where the week already
has been observed. Encouraged by
the results of the campaign in other
zones, the Department of Justice be.
lieyes that consumers in these west
ern states, by utilization Of the less
costly meat cuts, especially those
from the forequarter, will be able
to effect considerable saving withou
injuring the wholesaler or retailer or
decreasing the price paid to the far
mer for his live stock.
The New England States, w:icl
We're to have been a part of the
fourth zone with the western
states, will not observe Save Money
on Meat week until April 49, Fair
price commissioners there pointed
out that the supply of meat on hand
would not be sufficient to meet the
demand the campaign would stimu
late and asked for additional time in
which to obtain a sufficiently large
stock.
Reports from the states in which
the campaign has been held indicate
that consumers generally are avail
ing themselves of the opportunity to
save money on meat by purchasing
the neglected forequarter cuts. Many
housewives have found that by con
filming their purchases to the fore
quarter their dollar will buy more
meat This, the department believes,
will lead to more stable market for
the farmers meat animal inasmuch
as considerable of the meat from the
forequarter heretofore has not found
it's way directly to the consumers
table, but has been chopped or ground
and sold to hotels and restaurants,
with consequent retardation Of dis
tribution, and increase of wlste,
shrinkage and overhead expenses.
Impressed by the interest of con-
sumers in the economic value of the
campaign, fair price compissioners
in several states have requested the
department to extend the campaign
for several weeks in order to make
the effects more lasting. Mrs. c. G..
Ryan, of Grand Island, fair price com
missioner for Nebraska, has suggest
ed to the department that Thursday
of each week be set aside permanent
ly as a Save Money on Meat" day

The Answer.
The answer to the above was a
wind that for velocity must have
registered somewhere between 6C
and 4S7 miles per hour which picked
up farms from the Panhandle and
scattered them over Grady county in
the same process taking Grady coun-
ty farms and distributing them over
many sections to the east and north

ball players of both teams, veterans
in some cases OF scores of battles in
many sections of these United States,
were free to admit that they had
never seen anything like it, These
statements they made accompanied
by strong language and there were
none who arose in dispute.
lt's Weird Affair.
The morning opened with every
bright promise 1t suggested rosy,
tinted skies of spring, peaceful and
sunlit scenes, singing birds, happy,
playful children. Rain had fallen
during the night and all was appa-
rently well. Then the god of the
winds whoever he may be- caught
openers and began hiking the ante
to the limit every time it came his
turn. BY noon, a veritable hurri
cane was sweeping down By the
time the ball game opened, folks
wondered how they could play ball
in such a storm. By the time the
thing had dragged three innings,
most of the fans had gone TO town
and the remainder had left the
stands, which threatened to collapse
at any moment, and had sought the
shelter of the right field fence, where
they huddled together like sheep and
gasped at the thing which had be-
come a spectacle
Dust and sand in great clouds
swept across the playing field cit
filled the eyes, cut into the face and
made any accuracy on the part OF
the players q joke. The game turn
ed into the most weird exhibition
that man ever Witnessed on the base
ball diamond and through no fault
of the players.
Everything Curve.
The fans sat and wondered as ttey
saw ordinary base hits which ordi
narily would land between left and
center fielders blow fouls by 80 feet.
Line drives were turned into more
or less crazy curves. Several times,
high hit fly balls ticketed for the

MOTION PICTURES AS
A MORAL INFLUENCE
Why They Should Be Developed
to a Higher Plane.
To the Editor of The Star:

! To the Editor of The Star:
! May I be permitted to take issue
with Mr.. W. A. Barrett. secretary of
1.-THE National Board of Review Of Mo-
ion moving pictures in your issue of
1.-THE 2Sth instant. The public is in
terested in the moving picture bust
mess as never before; it is interested
teven in the lives of the actors. the
History of the industry. and is natur-
ally anxious about its future. In fact.
moving pictures have become a part
tof the lives OF millions They are
practically a public institution and.
therefore. the public should take an
interest in their proper and intelli--
gent development. One cannot sit
back supinely and let this great in
dustry revolve year after year and
then expect to find that the industry
telligent creation. The world does
not work that way. The composition
of our natures is complex. and it is
necessary to realize this when we are
dealing with thing wherein many
minds create. There is good and bad
in most everything: it is up to us all
to see that the good alone remains
! Mr.. Barrett, from Inference, readily
fadmits that there is a good deal of
unhealthiness in the present day NOV
ing pictures from the childs point of
tview. He does not even excuse it,
On the other hand. he tells US that the
pictures are not intended for the fee
ble or abnormal. He pictures all of
us who go to the movies as very in
itelligent. Fanciful hopes are very
well, but facts are facts. The impress
sionable age of the child is a tender
thing and can be swayed either way
Environmental tendency may exert it's
force, as indeed it does. but the evil
! in picture can surely do ultimate
harm to any child.
] Now, any intelligent adult will not
! for a moment admit that moving pic-
! lures in general are free from things
| objectionable-eithe from the adults
point of view or that of the child.
I am great lover of the movies and
| yet / say with gerat earnestnness
that there are shown on the screen
situations that. are at times abso-
lutely nauseating; words used in
! titles and subtftles that are not used
| by those Of good breeding: the sac
religious use of the name of the
1 Deity seems to be byword; the
| cheapest class of novels, and even
! purity compared with the plots of
! some moving pictures. All this has
1 but one tendency. and that is to dis
lgust the intelligent and we'll bred
| and do it's harm to the less fortunate
| That is, of course. the dark side of
the story. One need not dwell on
the better side, for there is so much
! good in the moving picture that it
4 hurts all the more when the evil
good that we fight the bad 1t is
for the love of, our. children that we
are anxious to see clean and healthy
films. We want sturdy and strong
i plots with good situations that call
u forth the manhood and womanhood in
