has 700. 900 members. Mr.. Atkeson said
toSay his organization had decided
not to support organized labor's po-
litical activity and pointed out repre-
sentatives of the Grange, National
Farmers Union, international Farm
Congress; American Farm Bureau
Federation; Farmers National Con-
gress and National Milk Producers
Federation recently met here and for
muIated a platform of principles, but
decided that i n d iv d u a l members
should be allowed to exercise their
right of personal preference in voting
The program has been sent to every
member of congress, Mr.. Atkeson said
it may be expected that farmers will
observe the attitude of legislators on
bills affecting their interests.
I'VE decided Mr.. Atkeson said,
that the interests of the farmers and
of organized labor were not identical
in fact were diametrically opposed on
some questions. The union man
wants shorter hours and higher pay,
which means higher prices to the con-
sumner. A similar attitude on the part
of the farmers would mean curtallr
ment of production of food until the
people We're so hungry they would pay
exorbitant prices rather than starve.
Instead, it is our policy to encourage
as much work as possible to stlmu-
late production, so that normal condi-
tions may be restored"
Mr.. Atkeson said the opposing inter-
csts of farmers and organized labor
had illustrated at the time congress
fixed a price for wheat, the unions
urging a lower price.

Mr.. Sothcrn and Miss Marlowe turneh
from the romantic comedy Of Twelfth
Night to the tragedy of Hamlet,
the former appearing as the Dane and
the latter as Ophelia.
Mr.. Sothern's Hamlet Is a weil'rou-

in n theatrical sense. without deep IN
sight into the philosophy or the poetry,
but it is eminently satisfying in dra-

out being either profound or subtle.
Miss Marlowe's 0pheiia also has its
lacks. The physical fragility which one
imagines belongs to the role is no longer
hers to present, but her imrersona :
