NEW YORK. Sept. sS--No loser

Earned moro glory in defeat than
Luis Angel Firpo did when he WAS
Knocked out by Jack Dempsey IN
n fight that Tor thrills. action
Rnd savage fighting surpassed any
drama ever enacted IN ring or
on the stage.
Rather unfortunately FOR him,
lrirpo was not restrained by his ad.
visors from making some alihis
about the referee that. even II they
were true rotaotcd somewhat from
the sporismanship that the Argen'
tine was thought 20 have possessed.
Flrpo did not need an ahbi for
the showing he made in the ring
against the champion. He was not
expected TO make any excuses for a
showing that was the grayest and
most gallant that fighter has ever
shown in such an important con.
test.
When Firpo said that he was
fouied twice by Dempsey he was
partially right Dempsey did hit
him once on the hreakaway. pemp.
Eey did hit him on one occasion
when the round had ended. and the
champion may have punched him
once before he was back IN q
fighting position after kLocE,

EuRPo should have known. how.
i ever. that the inlruetions Of
the rules were staged when both
fighters were In such a frenzy Of
excitement and when they were
both punched so dizzy that they
had no idea that rules ever existed
and when they were influenced
only by the savage dictates OF self
preservation.
Perhaps Flrpo does not know Il,
because ne admitted after the fight
That he did not hear the timekeeper
counting az any time during the
bout. but Firpo should take the
word OF unparalleled writers in
the preSs-box who KNOW that he
was knocked out in the first round
before Dempsey had done anything
about which he complained.

New York rules. One handles the

our editorial this week is about
the small dairy.
Ii is not our intention 10 discour-
age the greater planting Of cotton
during 1923. but To call the attention
OF our readers to the possibilities OF
the dairy. not only for bringing in a
steady flow OF cash every week IN
the year. but as means OF building
up many acres Of old and worn out
land
Rankin County has thousands OF
acres of land which can be brought
back and made to produce crops
pro1itably but these same acres
must be fertiliZed.
Why not get Il few blooded cows
and run dairy in connection with
other farm activities. Fertilizer from
your barns can be scattered over the
land and it will not be a great length
of time before your broad acres will
produce money crops
Not far out on the road which
leads from Brandon to Jackson there
is a farmer and dairyman who is
making good money every year,
simply because he is taking advan-
tage of the opportunities which are
everywhere throughout the county.
He is not only good dairyman, he
is business man.
1t CAN be done on your farm.
Why not make Il start NOW.

1t is understood that the old Acad-

as soon as the new building is COM
pleted: in view of the scarcity OF
houses in our town, it is quite diff

to me, that the new wings of the
old building should be utilized to
meet this difficulty, by moving them

A LITTLE bit Of Venice. with its

of Connecticut when Robert G. Wig
nola started photographing exterior
scenes for adam and Eve" Marion
Davies newest starring picture.
Vigno1a obtained the loan of a
William L. Marks, it's owner. and u
veritable army of carpenters. cleo
tricians and mechanics was put to
work constructing a reproduction of
a Venetian carnival Inasmuch as
this particular part of the picture
was all supposed to take place at
night. Miss Davies and her company
worked for four days from sunset to
sunrise. The scene cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 70 reproduce.
Joseph Urban, the world-famous de-
signer Of "Follies" settings who now
designs all tho beautiful effects for
picturesque pavilion, band stand, .
festival barge and . hest of q dozen
gondolas. The construction Of the
scene required about two weeks and
New York was combed for real Vene-
tian gondoliers.
In preparing tho canal scene, 1t
lake would not float the gondolas
up to the landing stage. This made
necessary the dredging of the lake
to depth of four feet additional over
stretch of 200 feet. This step was
accomplished with a huge steam
shovel which had TO be dragged
twenty-five miles to the lake.

The 'fClose-up'' in Pictures

IF the public demand for the close
up in motion pictures were elm
mated for so short q period as twelve
days, Cecil B. De Mile, the Para
mount director, claims he could pic
turize any story in the world in that
time.
De Mile epitomiEes the change that
has taken place In photoplay direct
inr during the past decade decade
that has led the movies from the
presentation of mere crude incidents
TO the portrayal Of real drama and
spectacles Of magnitude.
IT'S the closeup, according to De
Mile, which has stretched the pro-
duction time Of pictures from q week
or two out to months, and sometimes
to rs long as q year.
Mr.. De Mile declares that nine
years ago his biggest production re-
scenes. Today he offers Adams Rib"
= picture Of no less than 500 manu-
script scenes, a length to which near
iy all his recent pictures has run.
.The answer to all this is simple"
says Mr.. De Mile. 1T lies in the
fact that modern pictures grip
through the power OF their psychol-
ogy, the close and intimate interplay
Of human emotions Somehow, 1t
seems that only the human face can
ret over these subtleties.
IN the old days, In all probability.
we would have photographed q strug-
gle from a comparatively long dis
tance. In the long distance photo

play. of course, we only got a suk-
gestion of the emotional play of the
scene. The physical action might
have been depicted with fair force.
but the soul action. the reaction OF,
the mentalities concerned, the surg
ing up Of love, hate or fear into the
expressive muscles of the face and
into the eyes-that. indeed, is some
thing you can only get with the
closeup.
with your camera twenty feet
away it IL simply impossible to get
those fine shadings OF lighting that
make q modern picture like ADAMS
Rib differ from the old-style photo
play as q Rembrandt painting differs
from q billboard 1ithograph. The
picture made in seventy-nine ecenes
was deemed entertaining; its action
was rapid, and there was rather
good plot to IL, but It gave nothing to
the world of any permanent value.
There was nothing to grip the heart.
to intrigue the mind. to make people
know more Of the complex clvfllza-
ton in which we are living today.
Pictures taken twenty feet away
ly. They are largely action. They
are the least Of q directors worries.
But the striving for the CLINT Of an
eve that may register joy, sorrow or
hate, the rehearsing and the re-re-
hearsing to get just the proper rise
or fall of an eyebrow, the exact re-
lation Of the muscular movement to-
the emotional expression desired,
those are the things that carry a pic
ture to ten or twelve weeks In the
