LATIYE COMMITTEE

The Directors of the Farm Bureau
met in business session at the Farm
Bureau office Monday, January lotn'
%transacting such business as came up
The Farm Bureau Legislative Com
plittee was appointed as provided tor
in an action taken at the Annual
Meeting on January 3rd. The mem
bers of this committee are Dorman
Lieske, Chairman, C. r. Winn and
Peter Nelson. Any one In the county
having views on matters pertaining
to legislation, either State or National,
should present them in writing TO THIS
committee. The committee will first
pass on such suggestions, and II wor-
thy, will he placed before the Direct
ors in joint session with the Commit
tee. The approval of the Directors
Will be necessary before any measure
is submitted to the South Dakota Farm
Bureau Federation. The latter will
pass on proposed legislative matter
before il is sent to Pierre to be placed
before the State Legislature, or, to the
American Federation before being
placed before the National Congress.
Provision was made to retain the
present County Agent.
The Board of Commissioners was
met and an appropriation OF 100000
requested to carry on the Farm Bu-
reau work as provided by State Law.
This was cut to $3500.O0 by the Com
missioncrs. The State Law provides
that the commissioners shall appro-
pirate not to exceed $4,000 per town
ship for a regularly organized Farm
Bureau when proper application ,e
made. At this rate. the tax amounts
to approximately Csc per quarter sec
ton of land in Hand County.
The Program of work was adopted
tor 1921. The Farm Bureau Directors
feel that a big program is being under
taken for Hand County. How much
of it will be accomplished will depend
upon the farmers themselves. This
program is published elsewhere in this
paper and merits close reading by
every farmer.

New Farm Account Book Simplifies
Income Tax Statement.
Huron, s. Oak, Jan. 10.-The new
farm account book recommended for
farmers was planned by the American
Farm Bureau federation in
ZION with the Department of Internal
Refenue and the Office OF farm man
sgement OF the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.
The new book is especially convent
ent for those who have income tax
reports to make, because II is so plan
ned that income tax reports can be
very cnveniently made from IL. In
fact. a duplicate summary sheet is
provided and this may be filed with
Form 1040 or 104G A as an income
tax statement, In place OF the Form
1040 F usually used.
This is probably the most practical
and business-like accoun book SO far
designed for farm records and will be
the standard book Of the State College
and the Farm Bureau federation from
now on. although the forms previously
put out will still be available for those
who wish to continue with the book
they have been using.

When Mae Murray left the dance

eager for more.
"In Lying Lips believe that Mr..
lnce has combined melodramatic action
and mental subtlCty with unusual sue

elements its appeal is doubly en-
HANGED. We all tried hard to make
it so.
'The scenario--it's from a story by
May Ellington, the English novelist

Ince's persuasions. There was no oues-

succession of spiritual difficulties as
we'll as physical ones, from which no
human being could emerge in the same
mental condition as entering it. I

At this point the actress outlined

Marilynn Miller, the newest Ziegfeld
star, who shines nightly in Sally" be-
gan her stage career at the age of
four. She comes Of theatrical family.
Her father, mother and sister were
troupers, and with them Miss Miller
went all over the world, billed as "The
Miller Family"
In those days she did q little toe
dance to fill in while the other mem
bers of the family changed their cos
tunes. Nearly all her life she has
been dancer, and it was as a toe dancer
that she has been known until her
debut at the New Amsterdam, when
she revealed an excellent voice and an
unusual dramatic ability.
Back Of this revelation, however,
have been years of painstaking work,
with always the goal of having her
name lighting the Broadway heavens
in electrict lights.
1t was while Marilynn Miller was
dancing in London at private club
that she came under the attention of
an American manager who was So
journing there. He told her to come
to America, and she did appearing at
the Winter Garden, dancing on her toes
with the usual property smile of the
vaudeville artist.
Mr.. Ziegfeld gave her the Fl rst big
chance in the Ziegfeld "Follies." Here
she had the Ziegfeld lighting. the Ur-
ban scenic background and the marvel
GUS zieg eldian costumes to bring her
before the public. But she was only a
toe dancer-perhaps the best in her
line. But while she loves dancing it
was not he4 big ambition.
She WAS featured for three years in
the Ziegfeld "Follies" in New York and
all of the principal cities on tour. Mr.
Ziegfeld saw something about Marilynn
New-York tribune., 1921-03-06

professional career. At the time he
had no specific thought of stardom.
He wanted, however, to bring out more
distinctly her natural talents. Then
he began to see that she was Of the
material stars are made Of and he told
her so.
There was much to be done. She
must study dramatic art under compe-
tent teachers. She must learn the art
of correct walking and speaking, and,
most Of all, her voice must be cult
waited. 1t took five years of hard
work. No one was in on the secret
but Mr.. Ziegfeld and Miss Miller. At
various times she came to his Office
and reported progress.
year ago Mr.. Ziegfeld decided that
she was ripe for stellar honors, and he
began the preparation of play for
her "Sally" is the Cinderella story,
always old, but always appealing, Of
the dishwasher who, by a freak of cir
cumstance, gets her chance to appear
at big ball as pseudo-French dancer
and then lands in the "Follies" as the
great ballet dancer.
Miss Miller is unspoiled by her sue
cess. She has worked hard and be-
lieves that success was really coming
to her for her work. An idea of the
carefulness that was exercised in her
training may be CLEANED from one in
cident In the play:
AS q pseudo French dancer she is to
appear at the garden party Of million
aire. She has to have French accent.
Miss Miller did not take the chance Of
making slip in this linguistic feat.
Last summer, when her play was read
to her, she took her script, went to
Paris and lived with Partisan family
for three months to acquaint herself
better with the accent.
Miss Miller lives with her mother
and sister in a quiet apartment ON
Madison Avenue.

Two som ewhat neglected topics Of
the theater have been broached in
David Belasco's production of DE
turau," in which Lionel Atwill is ap-
pearing at the Belasco Theater. The
play tells who gave Marie Duplessis
the name Of Camille and reveals just
what sort Of a girl she was in every
day life, depicting what might be
deemed trucr and much more ro-
mantle character than the heroine in
Camille"
1t was Jean Gaspard Deburau who
named her the lady with the camellia.
The exquisite love scene in which this
occurred Is shown In the second act,
as follows:
Deburau-There Is a name that I give
you then sort Of q name
Marie puplessis-Teil me-teli me.
Deburau-A name IL . name II It
GGonjures up in It's very sound

My lady with the camellia-
Marie Duplessis--Why7
Deburau--
Because l shall always see you
As first / saw you stand
With the nickerins light upon you
And that flower in your hand.
Marie Duplessis! What romance
and tragedy her name conjures uni
She was born in Normandy and came
to Paris at very early age. She died
at twenty, crowding into her few vivid
years the experiences that seldom
como in q lifetime.
Jules .Janin. a celebrated critic Of
the period, says her looks were. in
truth, very natural and ingenious. her
gestures delusive and her bearing bold
and yet refined, like that of q lady Of
the highest rank.
Her countenance was serious and
her smile imposing; and, merely from
seeing her walk. any one might ha~c
said Of her what Ellevion said one day
Of lady Of the court, "That is evil
IDENTIFY courtesan or duchess" But
she was not duchess; she was born
on the lowest step of the social lad
der. SO difficult to climb; and she, in
deed, must have been beautiful and
to the first round when she was only
eighteen, which was about her age at
that time.
II remember meeting her for the
first time" Janin observes, ain an
abominable greenroom of q theater
on tho Boulevard, badly lighted and
entirely filled with that noisy crowd
which generally criticizes grand, spec
tacular melodramas. There were more
blouses than coats In the room. more
caps than hats with feathers and more
,hreadbare paletots than new suits.
The conversation turned upon every
thing. on dramatic art and fried pota-
toes; on the plays performed at the
Gymnase and on the pastry of the
Gymnase; but when this young woman
appeared on this peculiar threshold it
seemed as If she ilumined all these
burlesque or savage objects with a
glance Of her lovely eyes.
"She walked on the muddy floor as
II che were traversng the boulevards
on rainy day. She raised her dress
intuitively in order not to touch the
dried up mud, without thinking of
showing us---for what would have
been tho good of it?--a neatly shod
foot and a we'll rounded leg, covered
by silk stocking. The whole Of her
toilet was in keeping with her young
and lithesome form And her face, OF
beautiful oval shape, rather pale,
corresponded with the charm she diff
fused around her, like an indescribabls
peril me. She entered the room and
