George Washington,
Nit. Venom Farmer

Guy L. Shaw, Congressman from
the Beardstown, ILL.,, district, is real
dirt farmer. Now and then he loses
patienc with city theorists who think
they can run a farm on paper, and
who strongly hint that no one in this
country knows how to farm success
fully.
Shaw told one Of these fancy farm
ers that George Washington knew
more about farming than any of the
present-dsy city birds who are sit
ting up nights trying to tell dirt far
mers how to run things.
Then in order to prove his state
ment he told how Washington, at the
close of the Revolution, finding that
his hand had been exhausted by the
cultivation of tobacco, gradually sub
stituted grass and wheat, as better
suited to the soil. He began a new
method of rotation of crops, drawing
up an exact scheme by which all his
fields were numbered and the crops
assigned for sevral years in advance.
The farm of General Washington at
Mt. Vernon, according to Shaw, con-
tanned 10000 acres all in one body
about fifteen square miles. 1t was
divided into farms of convenint size,
at the distance of two, three, four and
five miles from his mansion. He visit
ed these farms every day when the
weather permitted, and was constant
ly endeavoring to improve methods of
agriculture.
Some idea of the extent Of his far
ming operations may be formed by
the fact that in 1857 he had 500 acres
in grass, 700 acres in wheat, sowed
600 bushels of oats, and had almost
thousand acres Of corn, barley, po-
tatoes, beans, peas, etc. He devoted
so acres to his turnip patch.
Shaw amazed his hearers by telling
that Washington's live stock consist
ed of lao horses, liz cows, 2S5 work
ing oxen, heifers and steers, and 500
sheep He employed 20 hands and
kept "a plows on the move during
seasonable weather. Washington was
strong for we'll laden dinner table,
and always had a big smokehouse
full of hams and bacon. In the au-
tumn of 1856 he butchered $50 hogs
for the use of his family and help.

"The Trap" F" Vital Tale
OF Canadian Woods

"The Trap" strong story of the
North woods, the Universal-Jewel at
traction starring Lon CLANCY which
comes to the Star Theatre on Satur-
day, is unique in having one of the
most remarkable casts Of any recent
production. In addition to this, Rob-
ert Thornby, who is noted for the ex-
celence of all his productions, direct
ed this film masterpiece,
Lon CLANCY, the star, gained his
enviable reputation as an actor in
"The Miracle Man." which he follow
ed closely with "The Penalty" still
sustaining reputation for creating
human characterizations in decidedly
a distinctive manner Then came
"Outside the Law" where he was
seen in support of Priscilla Dean. 1t
was a result of his work in that pic
ture that Universal decided to star
him. In the current production
Clancy had unusual opportunities for
living up to his reputation as "the
man of thousand faces He made
use of most of them.
Spottiswoode Aitken, well known
character man; Dagmar Godowsky--
the Russian actress and daughter Of
Leopold Godowsky, world famous pi-
anst; Alan Hale, Herbert Standing,
Frank Champeau, Irene Rich and five
year old Stanley Goethals, handled
the chief supporting roles in n man
ner that leaves nothing to be desired.

tor of Universal in collaboration with

Put what over?
The Completion of the Jarmon- Lex

All who are interested in the COM
pletion of the all-important road to
connect the Morrow county hard
surfaced roads with the Umatilla
county hard surfaced roads are asked
to meet at the Alpine schoolhouse on
October 2sth, at 1880 p. m.
The completion of this road would
in all proability mean the mail route
and the bringing back of lot of
business that has slipped away, and
the bending back of the north and
east ends of the county and the solid
flying Of the best interests Of the en-

Each community is urged to and
should send large delegation to
take part in the discussion and for
mulating of plans for bringing to
completion this connecting link of
hard surfaced roads. The Lexington
end is completed to the Base Line
and the other end is graded for some

to put it in shape for the gravel, and
should be completed while the rock
crusher is located in that end of the
county. "To complete the road this
winter" will be the slogan of the
meeting.

"The Swamp" Suits
Sessue Hayakawa
Admirably Adapted to Famous Star
Reveals Him as First-Class
Comedian.

Screen admirers of Sessue Hsya-
kawa will find that in "The Swamp
he has a vehicle ideally suited to his
talents" declared Colin Campbell, his
director, in discussing the R-C pro-
duction in which the noted Japanese
American star will be seen at the Star
Theatre on Sunday.
Personally, / believe that Haya-
kawa has never appeared In a more
human or appealing story" continued
Mr.. Campbell. an its theme it strikes
new note, a quality of spirituality
that lifts it far above the ordinary.
In its unfoldment it touches upon
every type and phase of love known
to humanity and particularly does it
show the beauty Of that most unsel-
fish love, which for lack of better
term is called spiritual love.
"The romance which tinges the
story with tears and just a shade of
tragedy is one of the most exquisite
ever transferred to the screen. Haya-
kawa, as a humble Chinese vegetable
peddler, whose love for frail, ne
elected little mother and child leads
him to the greatest sacrifice of his
life, brings depth of Characterization
that leaves one spellbound.
"The cast in The Swamp is indeed
notable. The appearance of Bessie
Love, in the leading role opposite
Hayakawa, marks the first time in the
history of motion pictures that one
star has left her own producing COM
pany to appear in support of another.
frankie Lee, Janice Wilson, Harland
Tucker and Lillian Langdon, the 9th
er players, are all too well known to
need any introduction. To Mr.. Haya-
kawa, must 60 full credit for the un-
selfshness which prompted him to
give each player an opportunity to
express the best of their art, result
which makes of The Swamp a true,
all-star feature.
1.-THE Swamp does not lack in pic
turesque appeal either. The tenement
district, where thousands are huddled
together living out their days of joy,
sorrow, adventure and romance as the
case may be, has always held keen
fascination for those who are inter-
ested in studying human nature and
| believe we have been successful in
this on the screen, as it ex-
lists. Then, too, contrast is afforded
by those sequences which take place
in the fashionable residences and
smart restaurants and cafes. Pri-
marily The Swamp is just a simple,
human story, a melody of life and
there lies its greatest charm

When you walk into a store today
and spend a dollar for an article, you
are spending forty-nine cents-prac-
tically one half-to cover the cost Of
getting that article from the. .manu-
facturer to the shelf of the retail
store. In other words, only one-half
of the retail price you pay for prod
uct covers the cost of manufacturing;
the other half goes to cover the cost
of distribution.
At first glance, this high percentage
Of cost marked against distribution
seems to be out of all proportion to
the cost of manufacturing. But this
is only half true. Our problem is not
to find better methods but to trim
down and improve our present meth
DDS. Let us bear this in mind: large
scale production by machinery is of
very recent origin and that in effect
ing great economies on the one hand,
on the other it has introduced new
elements which simply on account of
their immaturity are more expensive
than they should be.
