With the unfenced west for his

Husband" is again the attraction at

girl, Miss Burke is tainted by her
companions on account Of her lack
of beauxs. Aroused, she starts a
course of violent exercise to beautfy
herself and in the meantime invites
a france. Later, whes things come
to show down, she is obliged to draft
a young mana stranger for her
'.i1tended." But the exercises nave
wrought such a change for the net
ter in her that the victim IS tlckl-

SCRAP IRON" AT THE REX
THFATER BEGINNING SUNDAY

&"Scrap Iron" starring Charles Ray
and released as a first National at
traction, which will be the attraction
at the Rex theater for two days, be-
ginning Sunday, has been acclaimed
by critics the best picture in which
this popular young actor has ever
appeared. ri.
"scrap Iron" has plenty Of comedy,
but the story itself is gripping dra-
matte one, strongly tinged with pa
thcs. Ray plays the role OF John
Steel, whose love and respect for his
invalid widowed mother, bring him
to scorn before his fellow workers
and his best girl. His promise is not
to fight, but he finally breaks it when
starvation is in prospect for his mo-
ther. The fight is the best which has
over been shown on the screen, and 1t
leads to a climax totally unexpected.
Among those who are in the cast
supporting Mr.. Ray are Vera Sted-
uan, Lydia Knott, Tom Wilson, Tom
O'Brien, Stanton Heck, Charles
WTheelock and Claude Berkely.

NUMBER Sc
Tangipahoa Strawberry Crop Largest
in History of the Parish.

| Pontahatoula, June 17-Unof-
fetal returns on the strawberry
crop of Tangipahoa parish show
that over one million crates of
berries have been shipped dur
ling the longest season on record.
More than 1, 400 cars were ship
ped at an average of 700 crates
to the car with the berries bring
ing an average Of So. so per crate.
This means that the crop yield
ed over $500. 10000 for this
parish which has in the past year
stood third in the United States
in the returns in dollars and cents
from acres in cultivation. The
first is Los Angeles county, Cali
fornia, due unquestioning to its
citrus fruits, and the second is
Lancaster county, Pennsylvania,
due in large measure to its large
amount of truck grown and its
splendid system of distribution,
all the towns of the county hav-
ing curb markets. These fig
ues are based on government re-
turns for 1920. If this parish
did so well when the crop was
short; this year. when the straw
berry crop alone is over three
and one-half million dollars, it
ought to rank first.
The strawberry section in Tan
gipahoa is a piney woods section
that was not thought suitable for
agricultural enterprises until. by
cooperative efforts and cooper
alive selling made possible by
the Farmers Association, it has
grown to be one of the leading
parishes in the United States.
