MARY PIcKFORD, THE
PROPHET OF GLADNESS

Do you think you have lot to be
sad about? Do you believe that Old
Man Gloom has chased joy out of
your life forever? Are you bowed
down under heavy load of business
responsibilities that have a tendency
to pessimize your good nature? Has
Misfortune tried to make a pal of
you?
If such is the case, then don't
fail to see Mary Pickford in "Polly-
anna" This Is Miss Picford's first
photoplay since she Joined the "Big
Four" 1t is being released by the
United States Artists Corporation
and will be shown at the Opera
House Friday and Saturday.
There is no better tonic for those
who have been the victims Of bad
luck and who may as g result be
down-hearted or even resentful
against fate, than this remarkable
play. It carries the message Of good
cheer to one and all, pointing out
that no predicament is 50 bad but
that it might be worse.
"Play the glad game all through
life"-that is the theme of the
story. This philosophy began with
the arrival at Poliyanna's humble
home of a Christmas barrel which
did not contain a single useful arti-
Gle. Pollyanna's father taught the
little girl the "Glad" philosophy to
every circumstance that arose.
As time went on she became the
Prophet of Gladness, and with all
the sincerity of childhood proselyted
along the Pathway of Life, winning
many converts to this new religion.
And if you will go to see this
splendid screen play, Polyanna will
carry her message to you. When you
leave the theater you will feel re-
frehed; you will have a new vigor
and vim with which to tackle the
problems that it is necessary for
you to work out.

DECREASE IN AVERAGE
PRICE OF PLOWLANo

Washington, April S.vThe aver
age price of plowland per acre in
the United States decreased about 7
per cent during the past year, ac-
cording to a report just issued by
the United States Department Of
Agriculture. The average value Of
plowland per acre on March Of
this year was $83.7s, as compared
to s9o.01 in 1920 and s74.31 in
1919. The statistician of the depart
ment attribute the decline to the re-
duction in the prices Of crops.
The report shows that the heavi-
est drop in the price Of land lis in
the Southern states where cotton is
the. principal crop. In some sections
Of these states where there has been
a decline Of 30 per cent n the price
of plowland during the year. The
average price Of plow'tand in Geor-
gia this year is $3s per acre, while
last year it was $4el-a drop Of
about 22 per cent.
The average in South Carolina
last year was $61, while this year it
is $50-a drop Of 20 per cent.
Probably the greatest drop in any
one state was in Kentucky, and is
attributed 10 the decline in the price
of tobacco: In 1920, the average
price Of plowland in this state, was
$40 per acre, while this year it was
s53. This is a decline of approx
mately "a per cent.
Iowa is the state having the high
est price Of plowland per acre. The
report shows that it is valued at
5000 this year, as compared with
$219 last year--a decline Of about
9 per cent. Illinois ranks second
in the value Of plowland, according
to the report, the price per acre be.
ing $157. In Alabama and Missis-
sippi the average price Of plowIand
per acre is $26.
The Western states show the least
decline in prices Of land, and in
the case Of California, Oregon, and
Colorado, there is a slight increase
over last year. Plowland in Califor.
mia was valued at $3.50 per acre last
year, while this year the average is
$135.
The report shows that there was 8
rapid increase in the price Of land
from 1917 to 1920, when the highes,
price was reached. The decline dur.
ing the past year is not as great as
the increase from 1919 to 1920
Land prices are still higher than any
year preceding 1920.

HOPEFUL VIEW
TAKEN BY DIAL
Senator Discusses Conditions Now
O5taining-Reduetion in Acre.
ago and Fertilizers to Be
No Small Factor.

Washington, April 3.-Conditions
in South Carolina are deplorable, but
the practical optimism of the people
which has transformed itself into
grim determination, means that all
will be we'll within short time.
This epitomizes the statement of
Senator Dial who this afternoon re-
turned from a business trip home.
He will .collaborate with other South
ern members of congress, Southern
bankers and officials of the war
finance corporation in an endeavor
Monday TO- arrange for heavy expor-
tation. of American cotton.
Two. facts announced by Senator
Dial we're regarded as significant:
"Cotton acreage: in South Carolina"
he said, will be, reduced 20 per cent.
and fertilizer will be reduced 30
per cent. This means that the crop
this year, # ,predicated under con-
ditions identical, with the crop last
year. will be. no greater than 4S per
cent, of the. proceeding crop. This
percentage, however, will scarcely be
maintained, for. the boil weevil is
going to be an important factor in
reducing production.
"The farmers seemingly realize that
they must make a living at home
that is, produce those things which
they require and could produce, but
prefer to buy. 1t is also significant
of the determination of the South
Carolina farmer to pull himself out
If the hole that he is most consid-
crate in his requests for advances. He
is asking for no more than S100 to
he plow, and in instances, he de-
sires no more than $50. That spirit
will win in the long rum"
Senator Dial declared that the in
terest of Clemson college in the pro-
duction of pork in South Carolina
was most highly to be commended.
'I learned while at home," he said
"that Clemson college will take an
inventory of the state in an effort to
ascertain just how surplus breeding
hogs should be distributed. The off.
ciaIs Of that institution told me
that farmers are displaying great in
terest in the undertaking. This is
most commendable and promising.
We must produce at home what we
consume at home if ever we hope to
be. an independent people"
AS another means of bettering con-
ditions, the senator advises the state
banks of South Carolina to attach
themselves to the federal reserve sys-
tenn, only 16 in approximately 393
state banks are members he stated. .
