That first non-star picture succeed

ceeded productions of similar type

has continued in high favor for the
past three years.
But the public demands ever-in-

, be supplied by increasing the quality
of the cast. This-is possible with the
alI-star picture only.
The truly all-star cast insures the
public the finest possible acting in
every role 1t means the well-balanced
development of the story irrespective
of which actor or actress is playing a
particular role. And it gives the direc-
tor the greatest possible opportunity
to display his artistry by giving him
the finest tools of his trade with which

HONOR SYSTEM DROPPED.
Pennsylvania State College Grants
Demand of Students.

STATE COLLEGE. Pa. June s.
After months of consideration. in
which there has been a steadily in
creasing sentiment against retention
of the honor system as it has been
in effect at the Pennsylvania State
College for six years. the faculty
last night voted unanimously in ia
vor of it's temporary suspension. A
recent student vote failed to amend
the system so as to place it on a
more efficient basis to satisfy those
students and faculty members op-
posed to it, and the faculty action
has been accepted as the most logical
step.
More cases of violation have been
dealt with by the student honor court
since the war period than in the four
years preceding. and the after-war
unrest is largely blamed for its not
functioning properly.

Final Testimony in Fight for

western states, was completed with
arguments By representatives Of the
Ektnfca, ~ Shippers, intended, to-show

agriculture rests in measure with
the commission.
The hearings, described by the
shippers as the most important be-
fore the commission since the grain
rates increases Of last year, consumed
more than two weeks while oral ar
guments occupied week more.
Clyde M. Reed, chairman Of the
western grain committee and chair
man of the Kansas Public Utilities
commission, urged that the commits
sion, before reaching decision, con-
slider whether the railroads were be-
ing operated honestly, economically
and efficiently as provided by law.
John E. Benton, counsel for the
state railroad commission, contended
that no consideration had been given
to whether the railroad labor board
increased or decreased railroad
wages, in fixing rates. The two
boards should act separately, he
said. Abnormally high wages would
not justify abnormally high freight
rates, he added.

Gothenburg, Neb.. Sept. 3.-(Spe-

are still fighting hard for the title to
land within the Union Pacific right
of way between oGthenburg and
North Platte. The counties wish to
acquire this land to improve their
highways. The federal govern
ment will not countenance expendi-
tire of federal aid money on high
ways to which the county does not
hold title.
A deed has been submitted by the
Union Pacific, with which county
authorities have been asked to COM
ply, providing that if ever the rail-
road needs the land for any purpose
they will bave the right totake it
back. This is one OF the points to
which the counties object and which
keeps the deal from being closed.
