STANDING THE TEST

James Cumming, community and
county leader, member of the state
Legislature, and president OF the Min
nesota Potato Exchange, the cooper
alive society organized by growers for
marketing potatoes, is confident that
the exchange is going to weather
every storm and be big success. He
says:
"The Minnesota Potato Exchange
has stood a test since its organiza-
ton which will'n be called upon to
60 through again, furnishing ample
proof that it will solve most of the
farmers problems by bringing him
more closely in touch with the con-
sumner and serving as medium by
which he can obtain farming equip
ment and supplies at the least pos
sible cost.
"The Exchange has been built on a
firm foundation, and, though difficult
ties have had to be overcome, like
other conservative enterprises it is
bound to succeed. Some day these
;, farmers exchanges will be handling
lwool, vegetables, honey, hay and
grain, giving each as much attention

Farm motive, powell especially,

again making big hit with, the pro-
ducers. H. M. Justice, an auctioneer
working through Kansas in sections
where the truck and tractor statesmen
have formerly been received with

tractors, used two seasons and orig

but 500 each, and not wanted at
that. price. Evidently both the origi-
nal cost and upkeep are counting in
the farm sales now.
I. D. O'Donnell, president of the
Federal Farm Loan board, in his dis
trict near Billings, Montana, gives the
reason. He, says: ''Tractor opera

CLEVER FARCE EVOLVED

will be proven when ooh! Lady

tonight and Thursday, with Bebe
Daniels as the star, Harrison Ford
and Walter HERS in support. 'Oh

is the very successful Bolton and
Wodehouse production which scored
such avery tremendous hit only "a
few years ago,
BY adding new scenes and taking
advantage Of the wider range OF the
films, Edith Kennedy, the scenarist,
has really added to the plays fun
possibilities. She has created a laugh
connection that starts on high speed
and stays locked in that fear from the
first reel till the final fadeout.
Miss Daniels is splendid as the
gawky country girl whose transfer

brings innocent ENHANCEMENT as a
supposed vampire"
OF course, the rotund Walter HERS
is a delight as the serious-minded
young man who fears that his one
time country sweetheart is going to
complicate things by bringing a
breach of promise suit just as he is
about to marry a very pretty and
conventional young lady.
Harrison Ford is likable, as usual,
