Court Day Jolted
When Trading Mart
Put on Back Street

Lexington, Ky.-(Correspondence OF
The Associated Press) ).-"Court day.
a century-old institution in Kentucky,
has suffered a painful jolt here. The
circuit court through an abatement
order has taken away from it Cheap
side,' a public square in the center of
the business district where farmers and
traders for miles around gathered in
numbers on the second Monday in each
month to swap horses and to trade
anything from harness to homes.
And now, for the first time in more
than 100 years, they are not permitted
to meet in the historic old square, of
late years within the sight of the town
clock in the court house tower, but
have been shunted to another and less
desirable street.
The farmers say, however, they will
not submit tamely to what they regard
as an invasion of their rights and indi-
cate they will carry the case to the
Kentucky court of appeals. The lower
court said they made of it nuisance,
at once unsanitary and unsightly.

What Delays
Prosperity?

Just state OF m1nd-that is all. Five sue
cessive crop failures-five years of hard times
have had a parayzing effect on the public
mind.
Nothing more wholesome could happen than
for the public to realize that any continuation
of "hard times" is absolutely unnecessary.
Montana is Coming back" Everyone knows
that Then why not act like we know it.
A few weeks ago I undertook the reorgani-
cation Of the Wood and Stafford Company This
Company needed Efficiency, which was easily
supplied. But it also needed capital, which was
another matter.
Therefore had literally to "swap horses in
the middle of the stream" Well, we did it. We
began operating the plant on it's own resources,
instead Of depending on new capital. And the
Company is getting along splendidy. Mr.. Du-
Bois has done the seemingly impossible.
We reorganized the factory, developed new
business and operated the plant at a profit
during April. And we are on the way to big
things.
Now tell me, is it not time to kick pessimism

FOR TOM MEIGHAN

Thomas Meighan this week added
another to the list of authors who

Not only will Mr.. Harrington
write the story. but he also will
collaborate with scenario writers
and the director in its production.

TWO FAMOUS PLAYS
SOLD AS PICTURES
FOR SECOND TIME

Not only do the film folk pay
Soodly prices for the screen rights
to plays, when the mood seizes
them. but not infrequently they turn
around and do it all over again.
There were two cases of this kind
during the past week, when A. H.
Woods disposed of pair of his old
productions to the film magnates
for a second time. These were
within the Law" and Kick In,"
both of which were turned into pic
lures back in 1915.
within the Law" brought $4,000
on resale. and kick In" was sold
for 100000. The second sale was
made possible by contract clauses
at the time of the initial sales
clauses providing that all rights
reverted to the original owners after
five years. Presumably these new
contracts also carry five-year
clauses-which means that a play,
if it is made of the stuff that films,
may very well become a source Of
eternal revenue to producer and
playwright.
