HARRY CAREY IN
 IF ONLY Y-RIA[1O

Harry Carey. ace of the western drama; Carol Halloway new and un- usually beautiful leading woman; a viz orous story of the out-of-doors and the appealing work of new kiddie actor are some of the features of "If Only" Jim, which will be presented at the Rialto for three days, beginning Monday
 The story deals with Jim Golden, a shiftless, lazy dreamer of the mining camps of Borealis As the story opens he is seen doing as little as possible with the least exerton. Even the scorn of Dot Dennihan, the pretty postmstress does not accelerate him.
 Driven to rabbit-shootng expedition because his credit at the store is stopped, Jim stumbles into a baby boy, deserted by the Indians He takes him to raise, to the indignation of Dot and the agita7 tion of Borealis.
 From then on Jim Golden snaps out If his lethargy and makes the town slt up in a noticing attitude. Dramatic slt- uations follow one another at breathless speed until the climax, which IS unlque among screen denouements
 Pretty Carol Halloway plays opposite the star as Dot while Duke k. Lee, Ruth Royce, Roy Coulson, Charles Brln- ley, George E. Bunny, Joe Hazelton. Minnie Provost, Tommy smith ana Pal the clever dog actor, have lm portant roles.

JAP BARON RAPS
 POLICY IN KOREA
No Nation, He Says, Can Thrive With Foreign Yoke Restrict

By Associated Press

Tokio, March 12.-Tnat the impe- rialism of Japan will prove as much an impedment to the satisfactory so- lution of her Korean question as the imperialism of Great Britain will be to the settlement of the Irish, Indian and Egyptian questions. and that of tho United States to the solution of the Mexican problem was the statement of Baron Keikichi 1shimoto, a mining expert, in an address berore the Orien- tai and Occidental Religion society.
 The chief subject of discussion at the meeting was the problem presented to Japan by Korea and Baron 1shimoto's $ proposed solution of that problem is the granting of a large amount of eco- homie freedom to the Koreans.
 "rt is regrettable that the pending questions between the Japanese and Korean peoples should remain un- solved because of the imperialistic pol icy of Japan" he said, "a policy which combines militarism and capitalism However free and peaceful a nation may appear on the surface no real lib erty can be enjoyed so long as the economic system of the country is un- der control of another nation. The emancipation of Korea cannot be achieved until the economic yoke which restricts the free activities ol the Koreans is cast away"

DEAL IN FUTURES
NOT PROHIBITED
BY MARKET BILL,

Signing of the Capper-Tincher
grain marketing bill by President
Harding brought food of inquir-
les today to grain exchanges as to
whether all contracts for future de-
livery must be closed out before
the measure becomes effective four
months hence.
''The new law" said John R
Maui, secretary of the Chicago
Board of Trade, in q statement re-
plying to the inquiries, recognizes
the legality of future trading. II
provides regulation for grain ex-
changes under a commission COM
posed of the secretary of agricuI-
ture, the secretary of commerce
and the attorney general of the
United States. 1t places a prohibi-
tive tax on trading in indemnity
contracts. 1t provides that coopera-
tive bodies that become members
must assume the same financial re-
sponSibility as other members.
Neither the tax nor the penalties of
the law are to be imposed or en-
forced until after four months. The
economic value Of contracts for fu-
ture delivery has been, recognized
in this law"

TALKS TO BOYS
OF HARD ROADS

Springfield, Ill, Aug. 25.-Ad-
dressing a Boy Scout gathering at
the state fair today, Governor Len
Small said N part:
We have met many obstacles,
but l want to say to you boys, and
1 want you to tell your fathers and
mothers that the governor of IIli-
nois told you that within a very
few years you will have a hard road
running from your county TO
Springfield; that you can go by
automobile over a hard, smooth
paved road, not only from your
home to Springfield, but to the
great city of Chicago, to Cairo on
the south and in fact every city in
tho state.
I'VE hope that the time is not
far distant when the farmer will be
able to sell his products at a fair
price, based on labor and the cost
OF production, and that the people
in the cities will be able to buy
what the farmer produces at rea-
sOnable price, based on a fair prof
it for handling the products and
not be compelled to pay three or
four times what the farmer re-
ceives."
