crawled through the fence into the lane. And near the barn, where the COWS had trampled, he beheld such beautifully, sticky, deep mud as he had never dreamed could be found | anywhere.
 Grunty Pig gave a deep sigh of happiness as he widowed in the mire. He lay on his stomach, he turned upon each side. He even | squirmed through puddle and | rolled over in it, that there wasn't | a clean patch on him, anywhere. Little did ne care that his silvery l spots were smeared with black. The mud felt delightfully."- cool upon his piggy, pinkish skin.
 This is almost better than eat ing," Grunty sauealed.
 At last his gurgles and grunts at tracted the notice of proud crea- ture known as Henrietta Hen. She had been scratching for worms in the farmyard And now she came run ming around a corner of the barn and peered through the fence at Grunty Pig.
 You careless child!" she squawk- cd. Stop playing in that mud! Don't you know that it's very dan- gerous to get your feet wet?"
 Grunty Pig stood up and looked at her.
 Goodness! You're a sight," Hen- rittta Hen exclaimed. Docs your mother know you're here?'' | Now, Grunty Pig didn't answer a single one of IIenrietta's questions He merely started at her and said nothing. So it was nc wonder thai | she thought him Stupid.
 Poor Mrs. Pig." thought Henri otta Hen. It's bad enough to have a child So untidy as this youngster But it's far worse to have a dull wittCd one"
 Then to Grunty she said sharply You'd better get out of thaS mud hole and go and dry yourself in tho sun"
 He actually obeycd her. And as soon as Henrietta Hen saw that ht was summing himsel: she walked ou of sight around the barn, stoppins now and then to pick up some tidbi or other.
 "GoodH' Grunty Pi,5 grunted. She: gone. This was the easiest way tt get rid of her.

CRISPSEEKS
HELP FARMERS
Offers Bill Ordering
Treasury To Supply
Farm Loan Fund

In an effort to help along farm
relief. which has turned out be slow
through the Federal Farm Loan Act,
Congressman ChRs. R. Crisp, of Am
circus, has introduced in the house
q bill to direct the secretary of the
treasury to lend the Farm Loan
Board S200,000,000, this in turn to
be loaned to the farmers under the
operation of the law In explaining
The purpose of this bill Judge Crisp
has written the Times Recorder as
followS:
"aealizing the distress of the peo-
prc Of our section, owing to the sud
den contraction inaugurated by the
Federal Reserve Board and the scar
city of credits, | have been trying to
yet the government to extend finan
cial relief to our people; but, up to
row. have been unsuccessful.
"Our only hope of governmental
financial relief to the farming inter
csts is through the Federal Farm
Loan Act A short time ago, | went,
in connection with several other
members of congress, to see the Fed
eral Farm Loan Board, and urged
them to hasten the Inspection of land
in our respective districts and to di-
rect that the Federal Land Bank at
Columbia, South Carolina, do every
thing possible to expedite loans in
OuI districts. The Board advised US
that, out of forty million dollars
worth of bonds recently sold, our
land district was allocated only three
millions of dollars, and that they
would not sell any other bonds until
September.
"Our land district comprises the
states of North and South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida,
so you see three million dollars for
all of these states is practically moth
ing.
With view to try to help the
situation, | have introduced a bill, di-
reCting the secretary of the treasury
TO loan the Farm Loan Board two
hundred millions of dollars; and, i'll
this bill is enacted into law, in my
judgment, it will prove of great bcne-
fit to our people. Not only farmers,
bat the bankers, business men, and
The public generally would feel the
benefit if liberal loans were made
in their community. 1t would over
come the scarcity of credits which
now prevails"
The Crisp bill, known as House
Roll $3.50, which was introduced June
s, has been referred to the commit
toe on banking and currency and or
dered printed. It's text follows:
"A Bill to direct the Secretary of
the Treasury to loan to the Federal

Whereas the agricultural interests
of the United States are facing bank
ruptcy on account of the scarcity of
credits; and
Whereas it is of the utmost inn

is impossible unless they are grant

nick presents as the star of the Sc
lcct Special "Thc Greatest Love" at
the Alcazar theater Wednesday has
probably had the most sensational
rise Of any star in photoplays. From
obscurity she has just become a star
through her magnificent work as
Mamma Kantor," the Mother Of

her role of Mrs. Lantini in "The

markable Characterization.

many of our great stars acquired
their first rudiments of stagecraft,
and later she became known by play

THE Land Of the Free" 'Why Wor-
ry," and "The Gentle Wife" all of
these roles bringing her the highest
Commendation from both press and
public.
However it remained for the pat
rons Of the photoElay to acclaim Miss
Gordon as a star. This occurred
during the initial showing Of the
screen version Of Fannie Hurst's
story, "Humorcsque." Although Miss
Gordon was not advertised as the
principal player in this production the
critics and patrons alike were unanI-
nous in the opinion that her work
completely overshadoWed everything
else in the picture. Next followed
similar type of part in the Rex
Beach story, ''The North Winds
Malice"
Lewis J. Sel2nick then secured a
beat" on all competition by getting
Miss Gordon's signature to a con-
tract calling for her stellar appear
ance on the screen the result Of
