little hot paraftin wax or sealing wax

ture aThe U. P. Trail" a Benz. B.
Hampton production from Zane
Grey's greatest novel. It is a picture
OF the great west starring Kathlyn

this work lies in the mighty virility
Of it, the vigorous hummanness, the
scorn Of sham. 1t stands out, distinct
from the herd, by its strength and
fearIessness, by the intensity of its
drama, by the sweet nobility Of its
romance. The hand Of the master
craftsman is seen throughout. from
the selection Of colorful material avail
able in the novel to the clear. strong
wording Of the titling and assembling
Of TIE completed film. If you like
western drama then this picture is
one that you will enjoy.

J. J. Beck and C. r. Simpson got a
Aunch last spring that "spuds" would
be winning crop this fall so they
took flyer in potatoes and put in
forty acres. They are now hauling in
their crop which is running about $50
bushels to the acre and at fair price
the boys are going to have quite a
l...stle pocket money from the result Of
their wise Judgment. This crop will
bring in much more money than the
wheat crop. THE Heimes brothers also
have sixty acres, of potatoes, we are
told, that is yielding them good re-
turns. and the only regret these boys
have is that they have not sixty more
acres of potatoes than they have.
Many potatoes are being marketed,
wagon load after wagon load coming
in for shipment. This might be a
concrete lesson that it would pay the
farmer to put in quite an acreage OF
potatoes as a side line and then he
would get some good returns even
though his wheat crop was light one.
