WHEAT AND CORN.

while farmers once regarded dollar
wheat as an IDEAL now it will not cover
the cost of growing. From whatever
angle it may be viewed, Il price OF 81

1t is tragical TO see the price of wheat
lowering around the dollar mark on the
Chicago market and if. such unremun-
eratiye values continue long it will
mean many farmers will have to dis
continue the production Of wheat. How
ever. wheat at 81 per bushel on the Chi
cago market is better price than fifty
cents for corn. 1t cost practically twice
as much to get a dollars worth of corn
takes twice as much to make a dollars
worth. Moreover. com on the whole Is
grown on more valuable land than
wheat and il requires more work to pro-
duce it. If it is IL tragedy to have the
price of wheat on the Chicago market
at one dollar it is double tragedy to
have the price of com at and below
fifty cents.

Two Hundred New Reels of
Film Added to ssLibrary." !

Lawrence. Kan. - e>--visual
education in Kansas public schools
will receive a new impetus next year
with enlargement of the stock of
films available, according to Prof.rH.
G. Ingham, director of the extension
division and head of the visual educa-
ton department of the University of
Kansas. Greater service to the public
schools has been made possible by the
addition of a new series of films to
the collection at the university, which
IS the state film depository for the
United States bureau of education.
Fifty new reels have already been add
ed and by fall the new collection will
contain about 200 reels.
The new films, according to Pro-
fessor Ingham, deal particularly with
classics used in high school and grade
tific films for physiology and hygiene,
and geographical films. The new films
have been obtained thru cooperation
with the visual education department
OF the University of Wisconsin, and
the Society of Visual Education of
Chicago, and are rented at a small fee.
The visual education department at
the university now serves forty towns
each week during the school year, and
also answers numeEons other requests.
The total film collection at She uni
Iversity now includes 500 reels cover
ing various subjects. The lending OF
the government films is free of charge
and work is carried on in connection
with schools, churches, community
clubs and parent-teachers' associa-
tons!
'"The demand for visual education
material is growing yearly" Professor
Ingham said, land this phase of edu-
cation is coming to be one of major
Importance in the public schools. We
intend to be able to furnish any films
that may be called for in the future,
either directly or thru one of the in
bstitutions with which we work."

Aside from the heart interest and
appeal of the story, which deals with
the love romance of Anne Boleyn and
King Henry VIII, the beauty Of the
production provokes many admiring
comments. The massiveness Of the

the coronation ceremonies are held

Boleyn court of the palace of Hampton
Court; the knightly tournament, the
water carnival on the Thames with its
superbly architectural floats, the ban

threaten Henry's throne-aIl these are
