Boys, Here's a Tip From Farmer
Burns.

Burns, the wrestler who in 5000
bouts has been thrown only seven
times. He is telling something
you want to know in his chautau-
qua talks this season. He is maxi
ing these talks in the middle
west, and since he is not coming

world S greatest wrestlers, stood
before an immense audience in a
chautauqua tent at Austin last
Friday and made the talk we
copy in part He was stripped
to the waist and his body looked
like white marble. He showed
his wonderful neck muscles, his
chest expansion, which is said to
be the greatest of any living man.
With am assistant, he illustrates
the holds which he invented and
the manner in which they can ~be
broken. Then he lets the kids
ask him questions.
Farmer Burns told the boys
how to keep perfect health. He is
sixty and has never had a doctor.
lie drinks neither coffee nor tea.
He never drank liquor, beer, new
en- used tobacco, has never used II
foul or profane language and is
deeply religious. He is a member
0f the Roman Catholic church.
He is an instructor in wrestling

nome. He keeps in perfect health
by continual training During
his career he wrestled 5000
scheduled matches, of which, he

The Greatest Milk Producers.

A local farmer, interested in
better live stock, recently adj

"Talk is cheap if you get il
from a gossip, = says an ex-
change. But it isn't. Talk that
comes from a gossip is expensive
1t kills time, it kills truthfullness,

built up by lifetime of correct
living may be blasted in a day
by the talk of gossip. The milk
of human kindness is curdled

the largest cows and bulls of
these breeds. We have in our
herd Holstein COW which at the
time of her freshening weighed
2150 pounds. have just recent
ly seen bull at the University
of Illinois that weighed around
1900 pounds. The average weight
of Holstein COWS is about 1900
pounds, with the bulls weighing
1900 to 1000 pounds. Jersey COWS
weigh from 800 to 900 pounds,
with the bulls weighing around
1906 to 1000 pounds. Guernsey
coys average about 1850 pounds
in weight, with the bulls averag-
ing 1900 to 1900 pounds Ayr

Government Takes Hand In Co
operative Handling of Crops.

Secretary of Commerce Hoover
has a way of transmitting plaa.
into practice, and it is therefor.
more than likely that his plan tC
help the farmers, undertaken IN
conjunction with the Department
of Agriculture, headed by Secre-
tary Wallace, will soon find ex-
preston in some form of organi-
cation built along the lines of the
following official statement, en-
titled A plan for the improve
ment in warehousing grain. This
plan was laid before a number of
representatives of agricultural
organizations for discussion at a
meeting held in Washington on
June u:
"The proposal is to provide a
method by which the farmer can
be given unlimited storage facili-
ties for his grain and receive a
warehouse certificate in such
form and under such conditions
that it would pass as an order for
delivery of the grain. 1t would
thus greatly increase his borrow
ing power and would relieve him
of the pressure of selling his
grain at the time of the greatest
farm economy without being
compelled to sell at that time.
1t would extend his credit area
far beyond his local bank. 1t
would place him in the same POI
'ition as to credit as the grain
lealer.
Efforts at the outset will be
directed toward helping farm
srs finance grain crops, but it is
loped that later other farm pro-
lucts will be provided for.

Man is beginning to perk up
and draw another long breath.
But there's a reason. Woman,
too, is cautiously peering around
in an effort to determine wheth-
er or not the storm has blown
over. And again there is rea-
son. A few months ago it was
loudly proclaimed that the wom-
anhood of America would launch
a mighty campaign for the pur-
pose of writing fins" to the
record Of tobacco. Promptly the
men came to the fore with de-
termination to balance the scales
by the elimination of corsets, cos
metics and chewing gum. 1t was
too much for either masculine or
feminine nature. Neither could
face the prospect with equanin-
ity or even with courage. Now
the men still enjoy their tobacco,
and the women still have their
corsets, their beautifiers and
their gum. It's draw, and both
should be satisfied. AT any rate,
we are.

On the Screen
Great Crowd Creets Mary Pick.
ford at First Showing of
Little Lord FauntlerOy''
By Harriette Underhill

Last night we attended the opening
OF Little Lord Fauntleroy" at the
Apollo Theater and we vowed that
never again would we go to first
night where tho star was to be present
in persoA. At one time we doubted
whether we ever should live to attend
another one. In short, the demonstra-
tion which took place at the opening Of
"The Three Musketeers" was repeated
last night and 1t took three policemen
and two firemen to get Mary Pickford
and Douglas Fairbanks into >the box
reserved for them.
All of the people in New York who
couldn't get in the theater waited on
the sidewalk. And Mary and Doug
each made q speech which was worth
the price of admission. But these twin
stars will not be present at each per-
formance, and after this what will the
spectators have to amuse them? For
those VINO care to sec Miss Pickford

is famous there will be plenty of en-

Little Lord Fauntleroy" is a slow
moving and often tedious picture,
which would be twice as good if it
were half as long. The photography is
marvellous, the settings are magnificent
both the exteriors and the interiors.
Also the double exposures which
show the star in the roles of Little
Lord Fauntleroy and of Dearest, his
mother. are about the most adreit ever
done on the screen. Miss Pickford is
beautiful and dignifed as the mother,
and she j. beautiful and cute as the
Lord but all this cannot make it
good picture. Never do we remember
to have seen scenes drag as many of
the scenes in this picture do.
Of course. the fault lies in its length.
Five reels would be quite sufficient to
tell the story. We doubt very much if
any grown woman could portray a boy
of eight or ten. If it had only been
Lady Fauntleroy the task would have
been much more simple, for Miss Pick
ford has given US some delightful lit
tie girls on the screen; but at no time
was there any illusion regarding the
identity of the little lord. When he
staggered and fought and pulled out
his tooth by fastening it to the door
it was always "Isn't Mary cunning?"
Claude Gillingwater does an excel
lent piece of work as the old Earl and
he looks exactly like the pictures in
the book. Joseph Bowling is also very
good as the solicitor. But nothing
matters very much save the star. Sc

recommend the picture most heartily

tleroy we recommend the book and

Viola kraus Reported
Bride of French Count
Brother-in-Law Without Word,
However, of Ceremony; She
Figured in EIwell Mystery


Walter Lewisohn, when asked yester-
day If he could confirm the report that
his sister-in-law, Viola Kraus, had been
married abroad, said he had received
no word of any marriage from Mrs.
Lewisohn, who went with Miss Kraus
on her trip to Europe. The report.
which originated in Paris, said that
Miss Kraus had been welded secretly
to Count de Vallombrosa, heir to the
dukedom Of Coule.
Miss Kraus was one of the theater
and supper guests of James Bovine Ell
we'll, the bridge whist expert, whose
murder several hours after the party
has never been cleared up. A woman
of great beauty, she was one of the
central figures in the District Attor-
ney's investigation. Victor Won Schle-
gell, who was divorced from Miss
kraus, also was questioned in the case.
Mr.. Lewisohn said:
II have been in communication with
Mrs. Lewisohn, but have heard nothing
about any marriage Of her sister. II
it were true | think I would have been
informed"
The Count de Vallombrosa is prob
ably grandson of Antoine Atanca de
Vallombrosa, known here as the Mar
quis dc Mores. who married Menorah
Won Hoffman, daughter of l.. Won Hoff-
man, = New York banker, in the early
eighties and lived in New York.

New Jersey Tunnel Commission an
notnced yesterday that the Erie con-
tract providing for the tunnel approach

:. simultaneously, it was learned that
the New Jersey commissioners are not
satisfied with the contract, although
they agreed to it in full last Saturday.
Tho cause of this dissatisfaction Is
said to be desire on the part Of the
New Jersey members to protect, by a
clause in the contract, railroad siding
leading to the Union Terminal Cold
Storage Warehouse.
1t is understood that the New York
Commission will not agree to any fur

returned last night and added to the
sum Of our happiness by telling us
about the GeoghegRn and the Duffy
families, amusing residents of Bally~

Mr.. Dillingham's suave auspices they
acted AThe Whtte-Headed Boy" by

turbulent tribesmen and keen study
of their more obvious weaknesses and
virtues. Severs, Of the players of
former visits were in the cast-Arthur
Sinclair. Sydney Morgan and J. A.
O'Rourke-and, aided by capable others,
they gave the natural and racy per-
formance their tradition has led

tongue on Irish lips was almost as
sweet in "The White Headed Boy" as
it WAS when the players were engaged

the Widow Geoghegan. He was good
looking and full Of Irish charm, and to
him went all the advantages possible in
large and somewhat impecunious
family. They sent him to Dublin to
learn to be q doctor, handicapping
thereby the other members of the
household, three daughters and two
sons. AS the play began the Geoghe-
gans, excepting the widow, had become
fed up with sacrificing themselves for
the favcrite, and when the young man
was discovered to be failing regularly
in his examinations, to be wearing
spats, and to be betting upon the horse

to go to Canada, there to begin life
anew.
1t was here that Mr.. Sinclair inter

His indignant pugnacity developed into
q threat to have the law on the
Geoghegans to bring an action for a
around the Geoghegan living room,
frightening that outfit with the awful
omens Of his vengeance. Some finan-
cial and romantic bargaining between
him and an artful aunt miss Marie

threatened retribution,
