Noting the fact that everyone uses

Editor Tomson urges, in obtaining
pursbreds for the foundation Of a

Instead Of making every effort
TO get out Of debt AZ this time there
are countless numbers who can wise

class Of live stock that will enable

Comment Is made upon the fact
that those who send to market pur-
bred livestock, cattle, hogs or sheep,
receive for them a larger cash re-
turn than those who send in indif-
ferent sorts. When steers weighing

Il, and good breeding and attractive
quality which attends the latter, is
much more than the amount indicat-
ed.
"The opportunity for investing in
nurebrcd live stock az a range Of
values that insures subsequent profit
to the purchaser exists generally to-
day." continues the writer II does
not require a shrewd man 20 discern
this, but in the case Of most farmers
az this time il may necessitate the use
OF credit 10 acquire them Never
was there a stronger inducement to
use this credit.
"In every neighborhood where cat
tie are grown; on every market where
they are sold the difference in re-
sponsiveness, in efficiency, in value

strated every day in the year, clearly
revealing the necessity NJ differen-
tiating between them and suggesting
also the advantage Of using credit II

Herein lies golden advice. Credit
for the xtockman is not gooing to be
laid aside. Despite the dents driven
into the live stock industry in late
months by financial embarrassment,
live stock loans Of the proper sort
are in greater demand than ever
throuout the country today Banks

The MOvie-Mad Girl

my daughter is absolutely movie
mad" a discouraged mother wrote to
me the other day. ~ don't know how
to discourage her, and I'd rather see her
dead than in pictures. What on earth
am going to do?"
It's the simplest thing IN the world
Just let her try to get into pictures.
AS long as she's kept at home, and told
that she can't be q motion picture actress,
she'll be unhappy. But let her have a
chance to try to break in, and 1t won't
be parental authority that keeps her out
any longer. This is the best time know
of for curing moviemad girls.
I would suggest that the girls mother
accompany her to Los Angeles, or New
York-whichever city is nearer their
home. OF course, lack of money may
make this impossible. but if it can be
done, and If the mother is really serious
in wishing to break her daughter of a
desire to get into pictures, it will have
to be managed. Then let the girl make
the weary round of agencies and studios
Let her wait for hours TO see some one
with whom she can register, only to be
told at the end Of the day that he can't
see her. Or let her see him. and learn
that his company isn't producing any
thing Just now. or that they have too
many people registered with them now,
or something else that is equally dis
cOuraging.
OF course. she may get an oppor-
tunity to appear in a picture. IN mob
scene That won't mean much money,
and 1t wont necessarily mean that she II
ever get another chance. II will be quite
likely TO cure her, too. for sitting around
a studio for hours. waiting for some
one else to do something, with the lights
blazing and cracking. and no chance to
lie down for a moment. or get something

| say that this is a good time to cure
the movie mad girl because just now
