that fact, he knows exactly what

N, scene In a motion picture is
common occurrence but
one exposure to danger in

To Conrad Eagel goes the dis.

DER OF the company.
:" HEN the worthy actor gets
" a dose of censure he can
be extremely vituperative.
He cannot credit the fact that any
human being can find defects in
his work. Perhaps he has domi.
mated a play previously given in
New York. Perhaps for that piece
Of work he has received unremit-
ting praise. The praise he has &C
cepted as his by every moral law.
But the censure he rejects as
something personal" It is prob
ably due to spite, to personal
animus, to-a dozen reasons. 1t is
an effort to injure him in the
eyes Of the public, and he will
never forget it. The circurn-
stances that the very same re-
viewer has given him unstinted
and adjectival appreciation previ-
ously is not taken into considera-
ton. 1t is the last that counts.
All others are relegated to OBJ
scurity.
Now, wouldn't you think
wouldn't you?-that to be left
out Of the skirmish and to be
spoken Of amiably as "the rest
were competent" would satisfy
the actor, or at least relieve him
Of tremendous burdens! The

fallacy of that idea. He doesn't

Good Crop Acreage Assured

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ST. PAUL Mimi, February IA
good crop acreage is declared to be
assured by reports from the rural dis
triots Of the northwest. Noticeable
confidence in the outcome of the year
1929 is evident among the farmers
who have come to attend the automo-
bile, tractor and farm power exhibit
in the Twin Cities. The agriculturists
of this section are goining both in pro-
ducing and buying power.
Unemployment decreased 1 per
cent in this district in the last month.
The reserves of state banks and trust
companies have increased $2,000.0O0
and their loans have decreased S8.273,-
600 since the October bank call. Build
ing operations are active. Plans have
just been announced for S1,750.000
addition to the Curtis Hotel in Min

it the largest hotel in America out

The cost of living in the northw est

been stabilized to a large extent. Rep

Steel Production Now Close
to Record Made in December
by II. B. LAUFFMAN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PITTSBURGH, February 7.-There
is a sound foundation beneath the in
dustrial structure in this section. Pro-
duction in various industries is work
ing higher and evidence of stability
in various markets is encouraging
purchasers. An inclination on the
part of landlords to increase rents is
having q tendency to hold up living
costs, but these high rentals are eX-
pected to result in an increased build
ing program this spring. Even at the
present time there is a shortage of
lathers and plasterers here. while men
are well employed in all the other
building trades.
Steel production is now close to the
record esta blished in December before
the usual year-end slump occurred,
and it is expected that it will show
further increase shortly. There has
been no change in the openly quoted
prices on the leading steel products
for about six weeks and this evidence
of stability is accepted as favorable
sign, although it is claimed that some
shading of prices is being done to Sc
cure desirable orders.
Automobiles are not selling so read
fly as a year ago. but the market can
be considered fair, as changes in some
of the important agencies may have
had some temporary effect on sales.
