COLUMBUS. OFF Harry NJ.
D~augherty has been twins. n OF
him would have been a politician
and the other of him a lawyer.
At least that's the way lifelong
acquaintance of Daugherty size up
the man slated TO be the next at
torney general of the United States.
The country within a year has be-
came we'll acquainted with Harry NJ.
Daugherty. the politician-the guild
ing star of President-elect Harding's
political life.
How Daugherty. almost single
handed. built up the campaign that
landed the presidential nomination
for Harding is now established poll
teal history.
Climbed i'm Politics
Daugherty started in politics back
in his home town. Washington, C H.
as a young lawyer. graduating into
state politics and later into the ma
tional game, until now he has land
ed on top O. the heap" as the
''president-maker."
But Daugherty. the lawyer, the
everyday fellow. is a man with
whom people generally r not so
well acquainted.
He doesn't mix law and politics.
He's almost like two separate men
his friends say.
The other day Daugherty the
lawyer. had an important legal mat
ter to attend TO in connection with
a case involving several millions.
So Daugherty. the politician. put
up the bars to the ever-present line
of politicians and jobseekers while
he dug into legal matters until two
in the morning.
The next day he attended to the
matter in court. went back to his
Office. and Daugherty, the politi-
clan. was again on the job.
Young Man at 63
Daugherty is So. but he looks
nearer 40. and displays energy aad
pep" that would amaze many a
youngster.
He doesn't play golf and doesn't
own a yacht, but he spends a power
full lot of time hiking about the
country.
While laying the foundation on
which the Harding nomination was
won he almost lived in Pullman cars
and hotels, but managed to make
a number OF flying trips TO his home
here to spend some time with ..the
sweetest woman in the world"
The sweetest woman" Is Mrs.

FARM NOISES WILL CURE SHELL SHOCK
 SURVEY DEVELOPS
By International News service)

WINNIPEG. Man, Aug. 22. - The symphony of droning mowers, culti. sators and threshers is 8 specific for shell-shock. Of the thousands of war veterans who turned to agriculture at the conclusion of hostilities virtually all have recovered from the effects Of shellshock. A recent survey, on the other hand. does not indicate that this is true of the returned soldiers who settled in the cities.
 Besides regaining health at a far more rapid pace than their city broth CTS, the farmer soldiers generally have experienced more pronounced pros perity. For their crops last year they received approximately s14,000, 900. The return this year, on the face of preliminary estimates, should be 25 per cent greater
 Many of the 25,0OO soldiers who have taken farms under the Soldiers he-tSld DllSulneHt dCl were HOI III BOOu health when they turned farmers. To. day the average soldier-farmer is in ruddy health and sound finances.
 In aiding the men the government has made loans aggregating more than $11O,OO0.OO The soldier set. clement board, under direction of Major John Barnett, purchased over 10000 horses, mules. COWS, oxen, sheep and swine; 100000 chickens and thousands of dollars worth of farm machinery.
 Nearly 5,00O,0O0 acres of land have been cultivated. and last year 300. 900 acres of virgin soil were broken The men produced 10000 900 bushels of grain, besides great quantities of hay. green feed, butter, milk, eggs fruit and vegetables
 Signal success attained by the for. mer soldier has resulted in a flood of applications from other war vet erans who now recognize the oppor. tunities of western Canada

 LOS ANGELES, Aug. 22-A new ara is dawning in the motion picture world
 According to leading producers the days of extravagant salaries and in efficient methods are gone forever.
 Cut the cost, but keep the quality up"
 This is the order which has been given in every one of the big studios of southern California, and for sev- eral weeks a general retrenchment has been in progress
 "Tte motion picture industry has passed from a period of abnormal prosperity" said Jess L. Laskey, first ice-president of the Famous Players Laskey Corporation, in analyzing pres ent conditions. Tt behooves produc. CTS to face present critical conditions courageously and to fight through the period of readiustment to the period of normalcy.
 The motion picture producing or ganization that does not realize the seriousness of the situation and act accordingly cannot survive and be ab- solutely efficient. Extravaganza must be replaced by economy. The day of reckless expenditure, feel certain. has gone forever and econo- my is to be the watchword of the new era.
 officials of our organizations were called upon each to do his share in putting the corporation on an efficient economical basis.
 Solely in the interest of economi- cal production. we closed our studio on Long Island, N. Y, and transferred all productions to our studio in Holly wood. We are striving to eliminate all the old extravagances of produc- tion and aiming for the greatest economy"
 Samuel Goldwyn. president of the Goldwyn Picture Corporation, said:
 We are now making pictures at a lower cost than formerly Many items of expense which formerly were re- garded as necessary are being elimi- mated. Salaries are also being re- duced and expenditures watched with a careful eye. This is necessary in order that motion pictures may re main a popular priced amusement"
 Irving C. Thalberg, general manag CT of the Universal Film Manufactur ing Company, said:
 The mau who makes motion pie lures knows he must make better pictures for less money and start making them now.
 The man who says that the motion picture industry is in splendid fin ancial condition is just as wrong as the man who says 1t faces ruin.
 The present unrest isthe best thing that could have happened to the in dustry. No permanent peace was ever achieved without revolution.
 When the stories that are now be ing filmed at a reasonable cost can be released to exhibitors at a cost that will enable them to exhibit them for what they are worth, make a reasonable profit for themselves, re- turn a reasonable profit to the produc- CT and give the purchaser his moneys worth of entertainment the motion picture industry will be properly on it's feet"

AT THE GRAND, "The killer" one of
the latest Pathe productions started u four
day last evening The original story
of this play was written by Stewart Ed
ward White. Cannot help but wonder If
White has been its screen version. It's a
safe bet that if he has, he was a whole
lot surprised. The film keeps some of
the names, the title and the setting of the
story that ran in the Red Book some
months ago but the scenario writer did
things to it." He twisted the unfolding Of
the plot, so that the explanation came first.
he added character and he even made one
of the characters-that of the jockey-con-
form to the regulations of the censor
boards and left out one of the biggest
thrillers of the story.
Outside all that, it Is mighty interest
ing story. 1t takes quite while getting
started, but when it does start gee whiz,
but how rapidly things do happen; Frank
Cahpeau does the super villain stuff IN
stellar style. something after the order Of
the acting of George Arliss in The Devil.
He is the whole show tho some of his best
stuff would not get over at all If 1t were
not for the able assistance of Claire Admins.
As a production. this picture is really
something worth looking at. The ranch
settings are exactly as any one who read
the story would have ina gired them and
there are oaes or two locations" marked by
their singular natural beauty.
