We are not acquainted with any
speciaI cases around Tallulah in which
. fietitisas price has been fixed for
farm property as result Of the war,
but from our exchanges we learn
that a lot Of communities are suffer-
ing from such a condition. And, too,
millions Of dollars are going to be
Lost by people who've paid fancy
priees for farming land in many sec
tions Of this country.
This came about through the pur-
chase of land at high figures when
cotton vas bringing 40c or better and
corn 81. Today corn is around Soc
. bushel and cotton is hard to sell at
any price, and it is predicted it will
not 20 hack to the higher level. So
the man who bought the high-priced
land must lose money If he raises low
priced crops. That stands to reason.
Some of them, of course, will be able
20 SO farm their land as to get out
from under, but in a majority Of in
stances they will suffer a tremendous
loss for the chances are the land can
not be disposed of at anything like
tia price the present owner paid
for It.
For that reason, and to save the
other landowners Of this country
millions Of dollars, any thing in the
way Of legislation looking to the re-
lief Of the farming class is to be en-
eouraged. We may hear arguments
to the contrary from capitalists of
this country and taxpayers in our
larger cities, but in our rural CON-
munities there should be no division
Of opinion along this line. For serious
results may be looked for If sudden
slump comes in the price of farming
lands, and that slump would undoubt-
edly be felt in every section Of the
country.

TOMORROW NIGHT

Miss Marguerite Clark has selected
for her first independent film pro
duction the comedy, Scrambled
Wives" one of the Broadway sue
cesses of last season. In this vehicle,
which is released by Associated First
\ National Pictures, Inc, she comes to
the Palace Airdome tomorrow. Miss
Clark plays the part of Mary Lucille
Smith, young girl who thinks she
has clark and terrible past" to hide
The secret of her life is that as a re-
suit of perfectly innocent boarding
school escapade, she had been rushed
into q marriage with boy whom she
scarsely knew. Luckily she was
rescued from this embarrassing sit
uation almost before the ceremony
was completed. The marriage was
quietly annulled, and Mary Lucille
packed off to Europe to forget her
mad prank. Coming back, she falls
in love with Larry Mcleod. 1t is u
desperate case of love at first sight
on both sides. Mary Lucille conceals
her past from Larry and accepts ap
invitation to house party at his
sisters house. Who should turn up
among the guests but her ex-hus-
band, now more or less happily mar
ried to q pretty and jealous young
woman. 90. Complications begin the
moment Mary Lucille crosses the
threshold of the country house, ana
the tangle of misunderstanding goes
on from one laughable scene to an
other, ending in climax of rapid
fire comedy. Incidentally, there are
settings of great beauty throughout
the picture, including ball room
scenes in country house and no
little opportunity for the display of
Miss Clark's skill as an actress in
delineating the emotions, through
which Mary Lucille passes on her
way to happiness. 1t is the kind of

her greatest successes and endearen
herself to millions of devotees of the
