COUE CRAZE HITS
MOVIE SCREEN
AutoSuggeStion Figures in
Dalton Film.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1o.-Neath an
Egyptian moon love had whispered,
according to the subtitle, and so
Lord Wellington came on from Cairo
to be present when the announce
ment of his engagement to Ruth
Rutherford was made.
He gave Ruth two spirited Arabian
horses, and one of them was so devil
ish that it was named Untamable. 1t
is difficult to say why he gave her
the horse-he didn't want her to ride
it. But she did. And she took a
nasty spill.
No white doctor could help Ruth,
and she was a wheel-chair invalid un-
til DR.. Ali took over the case. He
made her we'll by autosuggestion, an
Egyptian form of Coueism as it were.
Now DIR. Ali happened to be an
enemy of Lord Wellington and he
had struck a nefarious bargain with
Ruth. When she had regained her
health she reneged on the payment
but Ali was bent on collecting wher
an Egyptian valet stuck a knife II
his back. AS All died he ordered Rutl
back into her chair and put the curse
of Allah whatever that Isl on her.
Lord Wellington had returned to
Egypt and was hopping up lot of
hard liquor, as the boys say. to forget
his worry about Ruth. When Ruth
heard Of that she went all the way to
Egypt in her wheel chair and Wal
lington braced himself up, as they
say.
The valet sneaked up on Walling-
ton with knife in his hand and Ruth
jumped out of her chair to stop him
Then the servant said he wasn't go
ing to stab Wellington, anyway. He
Just wanted to get Ruth out Of the
chair and thus show her that her trou-
BILE was only mental.
The above is the story OF Ozark
Secrets" Dorothy Dalton's latest pic
ture. Apparently the Coue craze was
foreseen by the movie producers, since
this picture was made several months
ago However. the autosuggestive idea
will gain little support through this
movie. It is inadequately and uncon-
vincingly set forth. The Coue idea
sounds better than It looks. The idea
itself is an old one. It gains wide
spread attention at this time because
Coue sets It forth In a way that
pleases the ear.
John Emerson, president Of the
Actors Equity Association, protests TO
VIII Hays about the morality clause
in movie players contracts. His con-
tention is that this clause Is a reflec
ton on the characters Of all actors
since a similar clause is not included
in managers contracts. I believe his
point is well taken. In the few big
scandals that have affected the movie
Industry. others than actors have had
a prominent part. The actors have
borne the brunt Of incrimination be
cause their names are better known.

Thousands Of men and boys each year
are focking to the city. Clerks in the
city are barely eking out an existence
and they cannot expect to receive
much more in the way OF compensa-
ton.
But back on the farms are men
working for a reasonable return, and
in addition they have their houses,
the wonderful sunshine above in
the daytime, the wonderful fresh air
and all the things that the soil pro-
duces. The boy who Is saised on the

Every single banker should feel

Cooperative Marketing

Agriculture produces enough to
feed the people the year around but
some of this production should be
stored to eliminate the over supply at
the times Of harvest or during periods
Of high production. 1t car then be
thrown upon the market in accord
ance with consumptive demands.
Cooperative marketing Is still In its
infancy. In a few localities where
farmers have been properly organ
lied and provided themselves with
adequate facilities to store their prod
ucts they have been able to consider
ably stabilize prices. TO the advantage
OF both producer and nsume
Farmers are looking for a scientific
merchandising basis upon which TO
market their products. II Is extremely
important that they organize rightly
on the commodity basis and secure
efficient capable management and ade,'
quate financing. This cannot be done
in q day. a week. or q month, nor In
eve or even ten years. II must be by
gradual growth and development.
The problem Is so important II de
mands the best thought of not only
farmers but educators. bankers and
other business men.-Banker Farmer.

SOME HARD FACTS
ABOUT SOFT MONEY
BY JOHN OAKWOOD

When a farmer takes his product
to market and sells it for, say, a dol
lar a bushel, he is dependent upon the
honesty OF two measures-the dollar
and the bushel.
The other day a crossroads store
keeper got sen to Jail for manlpu
lating a trick bushel basket with a
false bottom that would slide up and
down in a way that was grand, gloomy
and mysterious. When using it to
measure stuff he bought from a farm
err, he'd secretly shove the bottom
down until it held at least a bushel
and a quarter, but he would only
credit him with a bushel. The buying
power Of the farmers product was
thereby deprecated by about twenty
per cent.
Finally the farmers Whereabouts got
wise to the fact that the only way
they could get what was coming to
them was to enforce a reliable stand
ard of measurement. SO they put 2
good stiff jail penalty on using g
fake measure, laid for that store
keeper with the trick basket and SEM
him to prison.
Politicians in Europe have beer
s-x a.. ~tInr ~, nn-t nt
money measure-in much the same
way. Some Of them in America wan
to tamper likewise with the dollar
Here is about the way it would work
out. Suppose, when the farmer
brouc ut his product to market, the
basket measure was honest enough
and he got a dollar bill for each
bushel. He'd take his dollars home
and save them. Perhaps he planned
TO buy some land next his own for q
thousand dollars, and figured that IL
a year or so he could make it.
But meanwhile the politicians start
to manipulate the base Of the cur
| rency. They would change it from the
gold standard to a a money plan
from a gold guarantee to the mere
say-so of the government that a piece
of paper was worth a dollar. The
farmer wouldn't be watching the
money politicians. He would be toe
busy raising things. AT the end OF
the year he has his thousand dollars
He takes them to the landowner and
says, "Ill buy our land now-here's
} a thousand dollars"
But the landowner would say. THAT
is paper money-my land is worth
one thousand dollars gold-th.e gov
eminent has printed so much paper
money folks haven't much conldenc,
in it. But | am willing to take
chance If you will give me a dollal
and a quarter in paper money TO
each gold dollars value of my land
in other words. I'll give you my Lana
for $3.50 dollars paper"
Soft money would be only another
way for the money politicians to hant
the farmer the same dirty dcal.as tn,
basket manipu.atoc. In the first cas-
the farmer ~urknowingiy gave a bushe
and a quarter OF his product, and IL
the second case he would have TO give
a dollar and a quarter Of his money
for a dollars value in return.
In Germany they have carried thu
manipulation of the mark SO far
well. il seems hardly ~be!ievable, bu
IL they did the same thing to the dol
lar, il would take Owe ten million IN
paper money to buy that land, Th'
primary producer can raise his prices
but not fast enough to eaualiae this
drop in the gold value of unsount
money. That Ia where the catcl
comes In.

SINNERS PROSPER IN
MOUNTAIN REGIONS
REAPING RICH HARVEST OF
GOLD FROM THIRSTY FOLK.
NO LIMIT TO PROFITS.

Never in the history OF mountain
whisky making, from the time the
first moonshiner chased a revenue
agent, has the business prospered as
it does in these days Of prohibition
Moonshiners-the type that work
hard and save their money-are get
ting rich at the rate OF something near
$1,000 a week.
Business Beyond Estimate.
OF course it is almost impossible to
estimate the number OF men engaged
in making illicit liquor, nor is 1t an
easy task to guess at the number OF
stills in operation in the mountains OF
Tennessee, North Carolina and Ken
lucky, the so-called "moonshine belt.
Prohibition agents themselves know,
however. that liquor can be purchased
in nearly every town in the region
while great quantities of moonshlne
are shipped to the Outside"
Profits that formerly were taken by
distilleries and saloonkeepers now are
going into the purses of the mountain
liquor makers, and evidences OF the
swelling family fortunes are seen on
every side
Mountain Donkeys Gone.
Gone forever from many parts OF
the mountain country are the slow old
donkeys, prominent in the early his
tory of southern mountain life. Racy
motor cars, convenient for the cargos
they can carry and for the speed they
attain, have taken their places.
Prohibition agents have found that
there are two kinds of moonshiners IN
the southern mountains. There is the
cautions liquor maker, and he snaps
his fingers at the law. Again, there is
the moonshiner whose wealth has
gone to his head"-sooner or later
he will be caught.
The cautious moonshiner belongs to
the $1,000-a- week class. He is saving
his money, buying land and property,
and sending his children to school.
His stills are cunningly hidden; his
tongue never slips.
Drink Own Wares.
But the victim of the law is the
moonshiner who drinks of his own
wares and then talks too much. Soon
he betrays his business, and a jail cell
is his end.
From the careless liquor maker
prohibition officers have gathered in
formation concerning the nations
greatest business boom, a wave OF
prosperity which has transformed an
impoverished mountain folk into clan
of independently wealthy people.
