Wednesdays Session.

Chicago, April s. Compulsory

today as the big issue of the meeting
called for ratification of a national
cooperate grain marketing plan
worked out by the Farmers Grain
Decision on this question, as well as
on the, plan as whole, went over
until tomorrow.
Advocates Of compulsory pooling
asked that one third of the grain
handled for pooling by farmers
throuh the proposed national market
ing agency be held. Recommends
ing should be left optional with each
farmer.
Sentiment for compulsory pooling
grew rapidly under the determined
attack on the optional plan in the
closing. minutes Of the days session,
and on the strength of its advocates
The issue was opened by c. o.
Moser Of Dallas, Texas. secretary Of
the Texas farm bureau federation.
He moved an amendment to the plan
presented by the Committee Of Seven
teen requiring each grain grower
joiping the national association to
agree to the pooling of one third Of
all the wheat he delivered.
Jewett Supports Sapiro.
Aaron Sapiro, of San Francisco,
prominent in the California cooper

Growers Association, vigorously Sec
onded the amendment. and 1t had
l'further support from B.. M. Jewett. Of

Demand for compulsory pooling
was also in evidence from repre-
sentatives Of the Wheat Growers AS
sociation Of America, which has been
signing members on a strict pooling
basis in Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas,

officials.
The. attacks on optional pooling

THE MAGIC CUP" WITH
 CONSTANCE BINNEY AT GALAX

The Magic Cup,' with Constance Binney, is drama that is intensely strong at moments and at the same time has its lighter side. There are a few scenes when it borders on the super production. though on each oc- casion the idea soon returns to the easy and commonplace.
 The work of the play is carried along about equally by the star and four other actors, who make a combination strong enough to give the story considerable appeal. The members of the cast are the star, Constance Binney. Vincent Coleman, William H. Strauss formerly Ia strong man in vaudeville, Cecil Owen and J. H. Gilmour.
 The action opens with an amusing and pathetic scene in hotel kitchen, where Mary Malloy, played by Miss Blnney, is maid of all work. and much over worked. The guests in the upper part of the hotel plan a surprise for the working force in the hotel, for it is Christmas eve. In this way Mary comes in contact with young re- porter who later becomes important in the story. However, the rest of-the action is brought about by scheme of four crooks to use Mary in a plan to defaud. To do so she must be transformed into young lady of wealth with a rich grandfather, and large home rented The ruse works and they all live together in this rich home in different poses.
 The most attractive point brought out in the story is the idea of the family spirit The crooks had not counted on the fact that all living to- gether they would get the family spirit and hate deceit in regard to one of their number
