anything that smacKs of democracy
are anathema for the screen under
the present censorship.
Word has reached us that you plan
to dramatize the life of Robert f..
Lee after you have finished Cromwell.
To undertake TO dramatic the life
OF any democrat at this period, would
be, we feel sure. the height of un-
wisdom, so far as iss success on the
American screen is concerned.
We would like to persuade you TO
put aside your work on Cromwell,
give up all thought Of Lee, and take
up the life of Theodore Roosevelt as
screen production.
This would call for hurried work,
however. since the picture would be in
great demand as republican propagan
da in the presidential campaign to be
held during the summer and early
fall Of 1924.

As general proposition. the Ardmoreite is inclined
to look with disiayot upon bond issue pro-

One is that Ardmore needs additional water

A large percentage of the binder

the binder is complicated and del

not be exposed to the weather. A
heavy coating of rust on these parts
causes most of the hotter trouble of
the following years If the machine
must be left ia the field for a time,
it is good policy to cover the kottter
part with a heavy coating of axel
grease and tie an old piece of canvas
over the biader head.
Binder canvasss will not stand any
particular amount OF exposure and
so should be removed as soon as the
machine is stopped. Crickets and

in some cases even eat the Stats. One
