DANGEROUS CURVES
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE Copyright. 1921. by Frank Crane)

The other day saw an interesting movie. It was by Rupert Hughes and called Dangerous Curves Ahead, or something like that
 It not story. It was slice of life.
 We were shown the man and the maid, courtfng, marrying having children, and living along. There particular plot. The story did not start from some one definite point and proceed toward another
 But neither does Ibsen drama have conventional climax, does Wagner opera. Wagner hardly ever closes his musical phrases, but leaves you with sense of incompetenesS.
 Life is like that. There is no grand climax, after which live happily ever after There is even no villain, who appears, IS foed, and disappears. Often as not he keeps bobbing up.
 The only dramatic thing about life is death. That lis final definitive. That's all There isn't any more
 But the point about the Dangerous Curve story is that this young couple had twenty opportunities to smash things but somehow they did not.
 Mostly we do not. There are occasions for ultimate decisions aplenty, for settling things for all, for packing up and leaving, for abscondng divorce burning down the house, having done with the whole business. Only we sidestep.
 I have walked past dozen tragedies since Sunday, and so have you.
 The fact is that we all have reserves of common sense judgment and decency that usually keep from making fools of ourselves. That is, most always Sometimes train runs off the track but most of the trains stay
 Sometimes we lose control and have fist fight, tell man what we think of him (afterward wishing we had not) plunge into the divorce court but as rule we rub along and things come around all right or at least around better than they would have come if we had spilled the beans. We all have deal more ballast than we think
 Violence tragedy, and desperate deeds are unusual That is why the newspaper prints them.
 In fact it is the tendency of the newspaper the novel and the play to strain for the unusual and hence their view of life is bit distorted. I It is comfort once in while to see a play like Hughes's where the ordinary is made interesting.

 A study of the want ads which run

 which are being marketed success fully through want ads by farmers in one paper in one city.
 Publicity for Farms
 There now exist near all large cit ies farms which use advertising all most as thoroughly and scientifically as do merchants. Such farms usu- ally have names such as Sunnybrook
 or High View. which sound we'll and look well in print. This name is apt to be displayed in large letters on the highway nearest the farm, and also on its barns, it's wagons and truck These farms usually make a speciality of neat and attractive ap- pearance and treat motorists and other visitors politely. Such farm will have an advertisement of some sort in the nearest paper all the time. It has discovered that with little enterprise almost anything that has good value can be sold at a good price, and that a steady revenue may be made to flow in. quite independ : ently of the staple crops The South Dakota bulletin describes the opera tions of one large farm which sells 90 per cent of all the products by mail through advertising direct to | the consumer. This farm, for exam pie, sold 300 bushels of alfalfa seed at a net profit of s70e, through a | ten word want ad, the cost of adver- Using being S1760. Suoh farmers are not among the bankrupts.
 Despite such successes, and de- spite the fast that almost every farm product has been sold through adver- | Using and by mail, the proportion Of l farmers who make any use of ad- advertising remains small. This no | doubt is because they are not accus- toned to it, have never considered 1 the possibilities of the thing.
 The South Dakota bulletin de-
 scribes at some length the compost | tion of advertisements. but the farm CT who wants to insert an ad in the nearest local paper, will usually find | the men in the newspaper offlce | ready to help him in this matter. If
 he can tell them the facts, they can make the ad.
 The bulletin makes another good suggestion. It suggests that most ed itors would be glad to have more
 rural news than they do have. and | that when he gives the paper an ad. l the farmer also contribute some in 1 forma ton about crop conditions or 1 interesting happenings in his neigh | borhood.

That they do not remain so is blamed upon parents, who as a rule Iead their young and growing children by the left hand This is a natural manner of leading the child, as it shields it from bumps of persons met in their walks, but the muscles and bones are thus continually raised and in the end drawn permanently out Of position, although the change is so slight that it is not noticeable unless accurate measurements are taken Columbus Dispatch.

THE ADVERTISING FARMER

That is the great difference between them and the farmers. If the pota- to growers were organized, they would be in the same strong position as the producers of iron and petrol cum. But the farmer is in no such position. He has almost no control over the market price of the staple commodities which he produces Some efforts are now being made by farmers to obtain such control by holding crops and by making agree ments as to how much of a given commodity shall be produced. These efforts will doubtless grow in strength and extent but so far they have not produced any striking re- suits, as is shown by the present eco homie situation of the farmer who is bearing the brunt of the fall in prices
 What advantages has the farmer to counter balance these disadVan- tages? He has all the rights of free competition, if he will only use them. He has the right to produce anything he pleases, and sell it anywhere he can for the best price he can obtain. For example the price of corn may be down. but if he can produce a high grade seed corn and advertise 1t in such way that he can convince others or US eACeueDte, ne may De able to sell it for a very high price. Again. beef and hides may be down, but breeding stock and breeding service are things for which a spe- cial market at a special price may be created There are thousands of suburbanites who are starting in the chicken business this spring, for eN- ample, and who will pay good prices for matching eggs, young chickens, and breeding stock.
 The possibilities and methods of farm advertising are ably discussed in a booklet on the subject which has been published by the South Dakota State Agricultural college in collab- oration with the United States de- partment of agriculture This pub lication especially empha sis the op- portunities of selling through advcr- tising special products such as seed and breeding stock, and especially the enormous opportunity of appealing directly 10 the consumer through the want ad columns o' the daily papers

 WASHINGTON, D. C., May 12.- Advertising in the newspapers offers a way out of present difficulties for many farmers, in the opinion of stu- dents of the farm marketing prob lem, of which few of them are taking advantage.
 It is noticeable that merchants and manufacturers, although most of them are facing reduced saels and a falling scale of prices, are not cutting down on their advertising. Many of them on the contrary have increased their expenditures for newspaper space, realizing that this is necessary to counteract the tendency toward a slump in buying American business spends on an average about two mill lion dollars a day in advertising. but the volume of sales averages about a hundred million dollars day. The two million dollars is the regulator and stimulator of the flow of the hundred millions. The way in which the individual business man uses his share of the two million determines very largely what is to be his share of the hundred million.
 This is a fact which the farmers as a class. are just beginning to grasp. The farmer, for the most part produces staple raw materials which may always De SOIO at q 1nd1het price by merely hauling them to the near est market Unlike the merchant and the manufacturers he does not face . competition which is capable of driv- ing from the market, nor does he have to create a demand for his pro- duct A bushel of potatoes is always worth something, and peoples will always need potatoes.
 The Farmers Position
 So the farmer has reasoned in the past. He ranks among the proddc- CTS of fundamental necessities. In fact he produces the most funda- mental necessities of all. Only wood steel and other basic materials of in- dustry can compare with food in this regard
 The producers of steel do not ad Vertise. The demand for steel is cer- tain just as is the demand for food But the producers of steel and most of the other basic materials of Amer ican industry are organized and dC cnn1rol the pricas of their nradlints
