Bureau federation are writing to the
Huron office asking them when their
counties will be permitted to help IN
the state and national program. Farm
ers in Miner county want information
as TO organization. Mr.. Lawshe is go
ing to these counties as rapidly as
time will permit. He has recently
met with the boards of directors in
Jackson, Jones, Mellette and McCook
counties and arranged for member
ship campaigns.
Clifford Thorne, general counsel for
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, in a statement before the house
committee on agriculture at Washing
ton concerning the proposed tax on
future trading asserted that the
gambling On the Chicago Board of
Trade makes the Louisiana lottery and
Monte Carlo look very small in com
parison. There are fifty-one times as
many bushels of grain sold on the ex-
change as there is grain shipped into
Chicago, he said, and more than 80
per cent OF the sales on the futures
market are not followed by the actual
delivery Of the grain. The number of
bushels of wheat bought and sold on
the wheat pit of the Chicago Board
of Trade averages Der year three
times as much as the total production
Of wheat in the entire world. NJ.
Thorne called attention TO the follow
ing evils of the system: The most
important function Of the entire insti-
tuition is under the control and domi-
nation of spectators. The dealer in
actual grain is completely o%vershad-
owed, The existence of a large corps
of professionals who do not make
their living by legitimate investment,
instead of stabilizing the market, tend
to unsettle it, causing violent price
fluctuations from which they are abe
TO reap their profits. The credit re-
sources involved in these vast specu-
altiye transactions, a~ggregating liter
ally billions of dollars annually should
be employed in productive channels.
The following remedial measures
We're suggested: Investigation and
supervision Of the activities of the
grain exchanges, in just as intelligent
and effective manner as is the present
regulation and control of our national
banks. Open the exchanges to CO.
operative organizations of farmers. A
more efficient world crop reporting
system that will get the real facts and
disseminate them promptly to pro-
duCers as well as to market places.
The immediate levying of a heavy tax
upon dealing in "privileges,' known
as puts" and calls" The ultimate
elimination of short-selling on the
futures" market.

AGAIN, THE MOVIES!

No thoughtful person questions the
necessity of some sor OF plan to pet
ter the standard of pictures shown at
the movies. Many thoughtful ones do,
however, question whether or lot state
or national censorship as now planned
will have much effect. In the Febru-
airy Pictorial Review, Mr.. Benjamin b.
Hampton, president Of four big movie
companies, gives his idea Of a prac-
tical plan, saying that producers pub
lish the II of films the public want
and exhibitors throw them on the
screen for the same reason. His idea
Is that the public must in some way
be trained to want better stuff, or If
already wants better than it gets, it
must register its wants with the pow
ers that control things at the source.
He suggests that each club woman
pledge herself to see at least n
movie a week and then report either
verbally or in writing to the picture
show man, her opinion Of he reels
shown. The exhibitor would then re-
port to the producer and so, gradu-
ally but surely, pictures which meet
the approval Of educated women all
over the country would come to be
produced. This plan would have an
advantage over a board of censorship
in that it would bring together opin-
ions from a much wider range of ex-
p~erience than would be possible from
a board Of three or five or thirty per-
sons.
The plan is feasible, even for Brook
ings, and would not conflict with any
laws now in operation or apt to be
passed. A board of censorship is IN
doubtedly the quickest way to get at
eliminating some of the more objec-
tiOnable features of the movies, but
a plan of systematic review by the
women who are thoughtful and inter
ested in the moral progress of the
times would be the surer way to lift
the movies permanently into their
rightful place as powerful educators
and wholesome entertainers.

THE SYMPHONY CONCERT

Great credit is due to Prof. Christen-
son and his young people for the con-
cert that they put on at the college
Friday evening, and credit is lacking
to the city for not giving them a
packed house. Surely if people real
lied the significance Of this perform
ance they would have given it fuller
support, although there was a good
house to greet the musicians. But
feel that this is worthy of more than
ordinary note. To be able to have
from our local students and teachers
of music such a finely executed pro
gram of such high grade music is an
event. Here were young people Civ
ing the serious expression of their real
lives. This was no make believe, no
passing themselves off as some one
else. 1t was a portion of the helpful
expression of themselves that is to
be a part of their future lives, and
was as much above make-helieve as
life is above play.
The music selected was most excel
lent for the occasion. The Beethoven
symphony given is charming in its
tunefulness, and not so intricate a.
some of the others. Any music lover
could follow it. The solo numbers by
Miss Johnson and Miss Coughlan given
in chaste simplicity and sincerity Were
much above the average, and were eX,
ceedingly pleasing.
Il feel that in this jazz age, when the
garish and the cheap hold the fort
SO much of the time, that a fine offer
ing like this concert should be appre-
ciated and given it's full measure of
praise. 1t was like a clear northwest
breath of pure air in a hot, dusty
summer. l wish to register in this
public way my own gratitude for it.

FARM BUREAU NEWS

P. J. Crandall, secretary of the South
Dakota Farm Bureau Federation, has
received assurances from the state con
gressmen that their active support is
being gwen TO measures up before
congress in the interest of farmer.
Senators Johnson and Sterling both
voted for the Gronna bill which is de
signed to regulate the packers. This
be voted upon % Representative
G. A. Christopherson writes that he
will oppose a tariff on Canadian lum-
Der, which would increase building
costs to farmers. The state farm bu-
reau federation has strongly recon
mended that it's congressman make
a stiff fight against this tariff. Secre-
tary Crandall is conducting a regular
correspondence with South Dakota's
representation in Washington and IS
satisfied that these men intend to rep
resent farmer interests when they
know what their farmers want.
A number of counties which were
unable to begin farm bureau mem
bership campaigns last fall are now
making arrangements for such work
with Ben B. Lawshe, in charge OF or
ganization for the state federation.

TO INCREASE LAND VALUE

The next increase in South Dakota
land values will most likely be brought
about by the development in fertility
by the feeding of livestock on the
medium sized farm, the drainage Of
the lowlands and better crop rotation,
says J. c. Holmes, livestock special
ist in the extension division of State
college. AS an average, he says, the
most money made by South DakOtans
in the last twenty years has been
made through the development of the
country.
The farmer who produces grain
without producing livestock either be-
comes a buyer, borrower or beggar,
reads an old English maxim. With
the shipping Ost Of marketing a
pound of beef in the form of grain
two cents more than on the hoof, it
is readily seen how the cattle feed
ing industry will have to come. 1t
also costs an average Of a cent and
a half more per pound to ship the

HOW THIS WORLD

a memory of bygone days. Every manufacturer is trying to
individuanze his product. He is trying to diferentiate 1t

"In fact, our new carton and label plant in Chicago is
our answer to the call Of a package age"
The above comments from the announcement of a large
carton and paper can manufacturer, rapturously describing
the new plant.
Twenty-Five acres Of floor space consecrated to the prep
aration Of the fool decorations to be wrapped around our
prunes, soda crackers and pickles!
On with the pificated prune, and the prophylactic door
knob!
Let package joy be unconfned!
Not content with gradually pushing up the price from
pecks to pounds and ounces in food stufs, the merry manu-
facturer is now taking large gobs Of red ink to announce
that electric light sockets are to be cartoned.
All of which tomfoclery keeps the newspapers guessing
where the next quire Of paper is coming from, and what the
autocrat at the mill will say it's worth.
And 1t keeps Mr.. and Mrs. Consumer growing about food
prices, and hunting for the morsel of food in the wilderness
of paper wrappers.

The Chinese Lantern"
Will Replace "Mu Lam

THE Cinese Lantern will be pro-
duced at Washington's Little Theater
this week for the benefit of the China
Famine Fund. Beginning tomorrow
evening it will run every night. This
beautiful drama by Laurence Hous-
man will be gorgeously costumed and
splendidly staged and will take the
place of the Chinese play "Mu Ian"
which was to have been presented for
the famine fund.
The Chinese Lantern" made a great
impression when produced in New
York. for it is a novelty in theme and
treatment. The principal character is
Tikipu. the general drudge of the
studio in which much of the action of
the play takes place. How Tikipu,
with Ulysses Graham in the part,
struggles to attain the power of the
great master Wiowani and how he is
cheered by the Korean slave girl Wee
Wee. which will be played by Marcia
Coburn will supply romantic interest,
while many surprising situations de-
velop.
The feast of the lanterns will be
celebrated and the peacock ballet,
with the Tinnin dancers in their re-
markable dramatic dance, will be in
troduced between the second and
third acts. Victor Boenau is arrang
ing special music for the play.
There will be a number of theater
parties tomorrow evening.
