bert Rawlinscn and Walter Nc
Grail, $ well as little Richard
Headrick, do work which entitle
them to the highest of praise for
the histrionic ability they display.
Each of them does a bit of charac-
ter building which makes their
roles as real as IL they had spent
their whole lives in the environ
ment surrounding the characters.
A short sketch of the plot OF the
story would give an entirely wrong
impression of Ii. To say that a
woman is deceived into committing
bigamy, despite the fact that her
entire love belongs to the first man
she has married. sounds bizarre.
but the circumstances which lead
just this situation in "Playthings
Of Destiny" are of the sort that no
other course is possible for Julie
Laneau, the character portrayed by
Miss Stewart. to pursue.
1t is the best worth while screen
entertainment that has been shown
here in many months.

Grand Theatre Attraction

David Smith, who has won an en-
viable reputation for directing big
films in which animals play an i'm
portant part, has achieved another
triumph in Black Beauty" which
will be shown at the Grand theatre
today, and tomorrow. 1t Is a visu-
alization of Anna SewelI's famous
novel which has been translated
into every language and after forty
years still maintains a place among
the worlds best sellers.
Many magnificent and spectacular
scenes have been made for this pro-
duction including a stirring fox
hunt, a spectacular fire in the sta
BILE. a terrific storm in which a
bridge is swept away, a gorgeous
ballroom scene and q thrilling race
between horse and locomotive.
The picture is one that will hold
attention from the first flash and
will appeal to all ages and classes.
1t Is told IN a simple way and main
tains all the quaint and picturesque
manners and customs of the period
in which the story was written.
The minuet, pirouette and dances
of 1870 are illustrated and they
made such a hit with the players
that in the motion picture colony at
Los Angeles these dances are in
cluded as part of every dance pro-
gram this year.
An enormous technical staff OF
camera men, mechanics, grooms,
teachers, clerks, painters, black
smith, technicians and the like
was engaged during the making of
the film. Several new buildings
were added to the Vitagraph studios
to house the production.

s.Dream Street" Hit at Ditmas

With hands that well know their
way into the secret pockets of life,
David Wark Griffith has built a new
tale of love and lovers. which was
shown as Dream Street" at the Dit
mas Theatre the first time yesterday.
The story is laid in a beautiful old
street, where plain humanity walks
the dim pavements. with its faces.
like all of us, occasionally turned to
the stars. There is one Sway Wan,
a Malay adventurer, who sings a
mad song: Love is kind to the least
of men, ee-awa, ee-awa," and dreams
of making Gypsy Fair. the dancing
girl. his wife. The part is played by
Edward Peil.
The movement of the drama ans
wers to the love of Spike for GYPSY,
the torment and tempest of their
love; while affronts to Sway Wan
and the jealous interest Of the broth
err, bring complications that weave
a spell of absorbing interest such
as only Griffith seems able to exert.
With beauty and action and love
scenes of such enchanting simplicity
hat all the old love words come into
your heart, Mr.. Griffith has added a
great and compelling interest enter
ing with a street preacher n a
violinist. The preacher, played by
Tyrone Power, is the sayer of Good,
and thinker of Good Thoughts.
The violinist. in one of the famous
Benda masks seen for the first time
in the films. is the player of a violin
that sings evil thoughts into the
world.
Between these two forces struggle
the characters in the play, a pro-
found and noble element rare in films
bringing a grandeur to the drama
that persists in memory.
The exquisite photography is stud
ded with gems of moonlit scenes at
the docks, colored visions of Egypt.
hazy prospect that capture the petals
of beauty into the most perfect flower
of art the camera has eve created.
Those who like Grifith's work,
will dwell in happiness at Dream
Street." and those who like action
and thrills will find abundance; In
short those who like the films at all
will find utmost satisfaction in this
rare and wonderful work.

The three fundamental elements in

In the national sales agency, which
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1921-03-17


The first complete explanation~0t
the plans of the committee of II that
has been at work several months on
a nationwide farmers grain market
ing system published in "The Farm
err of St. Paul. The Herald ac-
knowledges the courtesy of a copy
and a letter calling attention to the
articles. This is a matter of great
importance and deserves the atten-
ton and study of all whose interests
hinge on grain growing. The Herald
is glad to be able to reprint the great
er part of these valuable articles.
This marketing system, which in
cludes local, state and national or
CARNATIONS, received considerable at
tention at the Farm Bureau pro
grams recently held in this county.

Seventeen does not contemplate the

except at export points and possibly
at large interior milling points. 1t
pos the erection of local stor-
age facilities in connection with the
farmers elevators at country points.
This, they say, will save enormous
waste in unnecessary transportation
costs.
The major problems in the propos-
ed national grain marketing plan
such as warehousing, financing and
many others will depend for solution
upon the national sales agency which
the grain growers themselves will
control as members. This agency will
be Incorporated in the form of a
non-stock, non-profit organization
will provide for the marketing
of all grain by meal of the contracts
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1921-03-17

1t is proposed to incorporate under
the Webb law for 500, 900, 100000
which will permit the issuance of ter
times that amount or $1,000, 900. OOO
worth of debentures. This orpora-
ton will advance the money to the
grower who pools his grain and will
finance the warehousing of the grain.
In other words, this corporation will
provide funds for the purpose of as
sitting the whole grain marketing sys-
tenn. 1t will take the warehouse re-
ceipts, which local bankers cannot
handle, issue ~debentures against
them and raise the money. This part
of the plan has been so we'll thought
out that the Committee is confident
it will have no difficulty financing its
marketing work. While it has not
been definitely decided it is probable
that growers will be asked to sub
scribe stock in the finance corpora
ton when they join the national sales
association. Par value of a share of
stock will be 800 and it is probable
the subscriber will be given the OPP
tion of paying it in installments. This
stock will pay seven or eight per
cent interest and will be offered as an
investment.
An ovno,t oorpn,otiOn will ho
organized to handle the exportable
surplus. This corporation will oper-
ate in close cooperation with the ma
tional sales agency which will handle
the domestic sales.
The control of all these subsidiary
corporations will rest with the cen
trail national sales agency through the
ownership or control of the voting
stock or otherwise. The directors
will be empowered to establish other
subsidiary corporations when it may
be deemed advisable in carrying on
marketing work.
When this plan becomes operative
he grain grower will be on the in
tide of the grain marketing system
instead of on the outside. By direct
ng grain over the shortest and
.heapest routes tremendous savings
n transportation costs can be made.
Under the contract system, to be fol
owed, the national sales agency will
,e able to distribute grain directly
rom the country points to the mil
ers and exporters. 1t will be able to
ontract with millers and exporters
o deliver grain of certain kinds and
on specified dates. Such a
Ian, when actually in practice,
would eliminate the need of future
and hedging now claimed es-
entail by millers and exporters.

the growers, who in turn will organ

tions necessary to handle the grain
at local points.
Membership in the national asso-
citation will be limited to grain grow
Aers persons who raise grain, and
land owners who receive a part or all
of their rent in the form of grain.
Each grain grower in joining the ma
tional association must pay a mem
bership fee of $40 for five years.
This $40 will be used for local or
ganization expense and to provide
the initial working capital for the ma
tional sales association and it's affil-
activities, which will include
adequate terminal warehousing and
financing.
