GARDEN OF THE WORLD

The newly appointed State
Highway engineer has recently
completed a trip through the
state looking over it's possibilities
and studying the road problem
which confronts him. Reports
state that when he first came to
the state he visited the western
section and was wonderfully i'm
pressed, but that when he had
covered the eastern section he
was amazed at its agricultural
possibilities, and he made the
significant statement that the
east "needed only roads down
there to make it the garden of the
world
The garden Of the world is
what the east will be If our peo-
pie will only realize and take ad-
vantage of its possibilities. The
roads viii be built, 50 it is only
up to the farmers to take advan-
tage of what nature, temperature
climate and rainfall has provid-
ed. There IS hardly a crop which
can be mentioned but what can
be grown, and grown successful
ly, in eastern North Carolina.
What we need is more intensive
cultivation, better fertilization Of
the acres planted, more diversi-
fication and above all, grow more
livestock and feed for. humans
and animals. Millions Of dollars
are sent out Of the state every
year for things which we could
grow right here at home, and
there IS no excuse upon the face
Of the earth for this condition.
It is often hard to convince
farmers that certain things can be
done successfully, and it comes
particularly hard to convince them
that hogs and cattle can be
grown at a profit. On a small
scale 1t has recently been demon
strated by our own farmers that
hogs can be raised at profit and
SO thoroughly convinced has this

California of 1900, under the rule of
the imperious Spanish dons.
Fairbanks plays the dual role of
Don Diego Vega, young noble of

books and poetry, who. at night. is
transformed into the Irresistible. mys-

British and American Humor

D RAYMOND HITCHCOCK and G. P.
Huntley. the English comedian,
tried to define the difference between
British and American humor. at a din
ner given in their honor at the Will
lard this week.
The two comedians were asked to
discuss American and British humor,
respectively. Each told few stories
to illustrate his points. two Of which
are given here.
"An Englishman dropped into a
pub" said Mr.. Huntley. land after or
dering glass of half -and-half. turn
ed to the barmaid and said: Did you
ear about it? Did you ear about it?
Bill was caught dead to rights.
Ibid you ear about it? Did you
ear about it.? he repeated. Old Bill
is down to Scotland Yard now
And as he took his drink, he went
on, old Bill was caught dead to
rights. He's down in Scotland Yard
now. Did you ear about it?'
''At this point one of the listeners
nearby piped up: Yes. we heard about
it all right. but this is the first time
we heard the particulars.
Mr.. Hitchcock told how one of Nat
Goodwin's American stories was re-
ceived in the Savage Club in London
to illustrate the difference between
the two brands of humor.
Nat Goodwin was asked to tell a
typical American story. and he began
about man who stopped off the train
in a small town in Pennsylvania.
Meeting another man on the street the
newcomer said to him: DO you know
where the post Office is%
Yes replied the other and walked
away.
At this point one of Nat Goodwin's
listeners urged him to go on with the
story. SO the comedian continued:
"A moment or two after this con-
versation took place the native who
had replied to the question turned
around and said: DO you want to
know where the post Office is?' To
which the first man replied, No
And that's American humor?'
asked one Of Mr.. Goodwin's listeners.
I think it was jolly rude Of both of
Them"

"Earthbound."

"Earthbound." the Samuel Goldwyn-
Rex Beach film production of Basil
Kings story, featuring Wyndham
Standing, Naomi Childers and others.
will be shown at Loew's Columbia
Theater today and this week only.
1t is gripping tale Of love. passion
and dynamic forces through which
Basil King advances a remarkable
theory concerning life after death.
The picture was shown as a Broad
way attraction at $3.50 a seat, and
was regarded by critics as one Of the
high lights of the 192O-21 photoplay
season. 1t concerns the creed adopted
by two youngsters at college-"No
God, no sin. no future life: nothing
but the survival of the fittest and
every man for himself" The lads
separate. marry and gain riches and
comfort. Then one falls in love with
the others wife and killing follows.
Here the author elucidates the
theory that the spirit Of the dead man,
bound to earth. without power to rec
tify the wrong he has done, yet cIings
to his former haunts until the wrong
has been made right. The moral situa-
ton is finally cleared up and the
mans spirit is released and allowed
to rest.

STUDIO MAGIC LURES THE CURIOUS.

EDWIN JUsTUS MAYER writes an
interesting story on Movie
Magic"
The wide world. dreaming of photo
plays to come. has an Unsuitable
curiosity to enter actually into the
secrets of studio magic. Kings. mil
lionaires. Noble prize winners, great
generals. famous ball players and
more of the accepted quality are
just as eager as any seventeen-year-
old f1apper to pierce the heart of the
shadow world.
If you don't believe that. here are
just a few of the many prominent
visitors to the Goldwyn studios in
the last year:
King Albert of Belgium. Gen. PERISH
Vanderbilt, jr; Ty Cobb, Gertrude
Anterior. Gouveneur Morris. Mary
Roberts Rinehart, Rupert Hughes and
Basil King.
OF course. some of these visited on
business, but the business was to see
what actually transpired when writ
ten theme was translated into screen
action. and that's just about what
you want to know. after all.

mystical appeal to thesnniverse. Its

He is the man who eventually fires

During the last decade the movies
have taken their place side by side
with newspaperdom as something
strange and exotic. Most people would
be disappointed to find out that the
man who gets out the morning news
paper sits at a roll-top desk much like
any other executive. They tthe peo-

papers are published by pulling a
series of peculiar levers in a locked

that he is master of his own pro-
