Famous Poem Made Into Pictures
The first local showing of 'Lasca ', ,
recent Universal production direct
ed by Norman Dawn and played by
a notable cast, featuring Frank Mayo
and Edith Roberts, is announced for
the Majestic Theatre on July 4th.
"Lasca" is based ON the famous
poem by Frank DespTez, adapted for
the screen by Percy Heath, and pro-
duced by Universal on lavish scale.
The filming OF "Lasca' required
more than ordinary attention to de
tail. for there is scarcely an Ameri-
can who has not read the poem, re-
cited il. or committed il to memory,
and has not hereby pictured indelibly

HORSESHOE PITCHERS COMPETE
AT STATE FAIR.

Every county in Iowa is entering its
champion horseshoe pitchers in the
state championship contest which will
be held this year, August 25 to Sep
TENDER 3, as a part Of the Iowa State
fair.
Each county is allowed to enter a
team in this contest, this team to be
selected by a county elimination tour
nament. The state championship com
petition will open the first day of the
fair and run through until Septem-
Der 3.
The teams from each county entered
will first participate in an elimination
contest by pitching for points. Each
pitcher will throw % shoes from each
end in competition with another team
to be selected by lot.
The eight teams standing highest in
those preliminaries will compete in the
final tournament for the state cham
piOnship. Each team will pitch each
other team one game of q points.
The team scoring the highest num-
Der Of points at the end of the tourna-
ment will be declared the winner and
the state champions Of Iowa.
Eight cash prizes ranging from 500
to SIS will be awarded. In addition
to the cash prizes, silver loving cup
will be awarded the championship
team. This cup will be returned each
year to be competed for. When the
cup is won three times by the same
team it will become the permanent
property of that team.

CROP AND LIVE STOCK
SURVEYS BEING SECURED

Something very much needed by
the producers of food stuffs is au-
thentic and up-to-date information
regarding crop and live stock condi-
tons, so interpreted that ii will be
of service in planning future ,produc-
ton and marketing. Overproduc-
ton along any particular line is an
economic waste which should be
guarded against. The state farm
bureau federation in common with
the other state organizations of the
middle west recently started live
stock survey through the school dis
trict co-operators which has for its
purpose the correct estimation of
the number of cattle, swine and
sheep on farms, together with esti-
mated date of selling and other in
formation which will help to give
the producer a more accurate in
sight into the probable condition of
the future markets. These surveys
in connection with an enlarged crop
reporting service and an information
al bureau for collecting agricultural
statistics should be of immense val
ne. With such machinery in exist
ence and operating Ii is possible that
the uClCi lOi
instance IL the condition Of the pres
sent condition of the wool market is
brought on by over-production or is
simply the result of the so-called
price drives which have been staged
from time to time so successfully
We know that similar drives have
been made on hog prices although
every indication would go to show
that there is no world surplus of
wheat products. The growing
strength of farmers organizations
will place the producer in a much
, better position to gain the benefit
from such statistics. In the mean
while we believe that 1t is the duty
of everyone interested to give the
men who are trying to collect this
information the best cooperation
possible.
