REAL LADY AND BEAUTIFUL
WAS THIS SCRUB olRL
Vivian Martin Has Delightful Part
il New Photoplay
"Nlirsndy Smiles"

Her name was -Mirandy Judhns
and she was scrub lady. But she
was warn-hearted little girl with
great deal of beauty and when love
for Teddy, the musician, came into
her heart, she spruced up and be-
came different looking girl All
this is told in ''Mirandy Smiles" the
latest Paramount picture starring
Vivian Martin, which will be shown
at the Princess theatre next Monday.
Mirandy worked at the Grand
Opera House in a Middle Western
town. She liked to watch the play
ers at rehearsals and also to listen
to the wonderful music of Teddy,
who played in the Opera House or
chestra. One day Mirandy splashed
a pail of soapy water over herself
and it was Teddy who rescued her.
Their romance started right there.
Teddy asked Mirandy to come to
St. Marks Church to hear him play
and when she came he persuaded
the Rector and the young lady who
was engaged to marry the minister,
to try to help Mirandy. This they
did by giving her choir surphces to
wash. In return, Mirandy gave a
sacred concert at her. home, putting
the surplices on the youngsters of
the neighborhood in an attempt to
raise money and help the Rector in
his church work.
AS Mirandy's life improved she
f1uffed out her hair, donned better
clothes that someone had given her,
and impressed Teddy anew with her
beauty. And after charmingly con-
structed love story she consents to
go away to school SO that she can
learn to speak like the Rectors
sweetheart and come back to marry
Teddy.
The part of Mirandy is announced
as one of Miss Martins most success
full roles. Douglas MacLean is her
leading man.

POLITICAL NEWS FROM

"A RepuDncan state convention

make up and the present contest is
no exception to the rule 1t is the
old story Of too many leaders with
favored fox doing the dog in the
manger act. Hennepin county is in
a measure responsible for the state
wide primary act and the fight now
on for political control in the coun-
ty is due to aid in it's perpetuation.
The present fight grows out of the
fact that the workers in the county
are not in sympathy with the Henne-
pin county Republican committee of
which Archie Coleman is president
and they have decided to put it out
of business. 1t and the Lincoln Re-

in it's local convention call the elec-
tion of new county committee. Op-
position Immediately developed and
it has since grown to the extent
that not only is the defeat of it's
favorites for delegates probable, but
the loss Of control as far as the
county committee is concerned is
more than likely. Chairman Coleman
from all accounts is not much in the
line of a leader. His principal ability
seems to be anger instead of pacify.
One of the big issues is Fred Car

PREPARING THE SEED BED

Spring wheat should be sown as
soon in the spring as the seed bed can
be properly prepared. Termination
takes place in the ground when the
temperature Is about AZ to so degrees.
Generally the quantity of seed per
acre varies six TO eight pecks. Your
own experience will tell you how much.
Drilling Is better than broadcasting.
The seed bed should be loose on top
and the root bed firm underneath. The
use Of the corrugated roller Is recon-
mended
Marquis Is an early variety ripening
from 80 to 1875 days after sowing. the
average being about 115 days. This
makes It three or four days earlier
than most Of the other Fife varieties,
but II should be put into the ground
just as soon as the seed bed may be
prepared.
The seed usually should he sown
about two to three inches deep. The
important thing Is to get It into soil
sufficiently moist to insure germina-
tion. In heavy wet soil one to two
inches will he deep enough.
Old or stubble land should be ploweo
In the fall or as early as possible in
the spring. Sandy soils with a ten
dency to drift. should be plOwed under
In the spring. When land is fall-plowed
II should be left rough tn catch and
hold the snow and to prevent soil
blowing. Plow six to eight inches
deep. covering all weeds and trash.
Spring blowing may be slightly shall
lower than fall blowing and should be
worked down Immediately. The sur.
face mulch should not he too fine and
pOwdery in districts where blowing Is
common, besides the rain may puddle
1t and not penetrate SO readily. An ex-
cellent seed bed can be made in the
spring on fall blowing or on spring
blowing followed Immediately with
disks and corrugated rollers.
