.THEATERS
ELSIE FERGUSON, IN
PERSON, HERE soon

1t is safe to say that our playgoers
and screen Fans will welcome the i'm.
pending engagement of Elsie Fergu-
son, in person, at the Grand theater,
Monday, May Z, as one Of the most i'm
portant offerings of the current the
atricaI season. This distinguished
actress is coming here In THE Wheel
of Life" direct from her weeks visit
at the Metropolitan theater, Seattle.
1t will be recalled that she has not APP
peared In a speaking part on this
coast since "Outcast," some seven
years ago. The interim, as everybody
knows, has been devoted to motion
picture work, in which field she has
achieved great honors. Her return to
the stage this season has been mark.
ed, it is said, in Chicago, Los Ange-
les, San Francisco, Portland and 9TH
er large cities of her transcontinental
tour, by a succession of artistic tri-
umphs. The play is considered an un-
usual offering, written by James Ber-
nard Pagan, an Englishman, which
scored pronounced success in London
last year. It's basic theme deals with
woman's struggle between physical
passion and spiritual forces.
Miss Ferguson's part, and it is re-
garded as the best of the many she
has interpreted, is that of an alluring
young wife who loves and is loved by
man twenty years the junior of her
husband Frederick Worlock is the
leading man of the supporting COM
pany, which is the original American

Starting Monday.

Perhaps one-tenth Of the dangers
encountered in motion picture pro
duction reach and are appreciated by
the fans who see the finished photo
play.
No greater example of this truth
exists than Racing Hearts" Para
mount picture starring Agnes Ayres,
which is due at the Weir theater on
next Sunday. Time after time during
the filming of the big automobile rae
ing scenes, dangerous skids, near ac-
cidents took place while the hurting
cars roared around the track. But
many of these were entirely out Of the
sight Of the camera eye.
One example of thrill that was
actually caught by the camera and is
guaranteed breath-taker was that in
which Miss Ayres, driving her power
full automobile, skids around a curve
at rs miles an hour and smashes into
baled hay piled at the turn for the
protection Of spectators.
However, the camera kept grinding
away on the scene, with the result
that one of the most thrilling mo-
ments in motion picture history has
reached the screen in racing

A Rupert Hughes picture is always
awaited with the keenest anticipation
and his latest one, Gimme" written
in collaboration with his wife, prom
sises to be fully as fine as any of its
predecessors. 1t is another of those
delightful comedy dramas of married
life, scintillating with Hughes humor,
and at the same time with an occa-
sional touch of pathos.
Helene Chadwick and CASTOR Glass
have the leading roles in this Goldwyn
production, which viii be at the Biiou
theater for two days, beginning Fri
day. Miss Chadwick, whose imper-

in other of Mr.. Hughes pictures have
been a rare delight, has a similar role
in this one. She plays the part of

PAPER MONEY
PIPE DREAMS
BY JOHN LAKEWOOD

Hitting the pipe seems like the
greatest way in the world to get
something for nothing,-a whole para
disc full of joy for few whiffs OF
opium smoke. But
BY the way, the big lure about fiat
money is that it seems to promise
about as much for nothing as Whit
on the pipe. They are just coming
out of such dream now in Germany.
Here is the way that German soft
money dream goes. Say in 1913
man put a ten year mortgage for TO-
900 marks on his farm. Marks were
then worth, in gold, about four
to the dollar. The debt, therefore,
was equivalent to about $4,000.
In the ten years since that debt was
contracted, the German Government
has published, SO to speak, trillions OF
paper marks. What, happened? What
would happen to the price of eggs If
they had hen at Washington laying
billion eggs a day,-eyen if they put
a government stamp on them saying
eggs were worth a quarter a piece?
German marks have gone down from
four to the dollar to 10000 to the
dollar.

SOME BANK SALARIES

Investigations made by the Missouri
Bankers Association have revealed
that 36S banks in the state in towns
of under 1000 population are paying
their cashiers and chief executives an
average of only $110 month. Only
27S of the 1852 reporting banks in
towns under 5000 population pay the
president salary. The report says:
at Indicates that, even allowing for
the economy of living in small com
munities, the cashiers and managing
officers of those 1,162 banks, who re
ceive an average of $40 per month,
either must have personal means to
begin with, or must maintain the
standards necessary to their positions
as the leaders of their communities and
the builders of the commonwealth by
means of side lines,' such as selling
insurance, collecting commissions on
farm loans, and trading in real estate"

Potato Acreage Is Less
REPORTS SHOW REDUCTION IN
ACREAGE or POTATOES AND
Az INCREASE IN TOBACCO

A reduction of II per cent in the
acreage Of potatoes and an increase
of IL per cent in the tobacco acreage

SON
PoTATOES:-It is estimated that
the potato acregage in Wisconsin this
year is 272 thousand acres compared
to 328 thousand acres last year and
3I5 thousand acres in 1921. This is
the smallest acreage that Wisconsin
has planted since 1908. Farmers ex-
planned the reduction by series Of
Improbable potato years, by low
prices in 1920 and 1922 and by short
yields in 1921. The reduction is great
est in the Northwestern part of the
State, where the acreage this year
represents rs per cent Of last years
acreage.
The condition of potatoes in Wis
.consin on July is estimated by crop
correspondents to be SO per cent of
normal. The condition on July last
year was 80 per cent the same as the
average of the July / condition for
the past five years. Planting in most
Of the potato sections was somewhat
later than usual, and the crop on July
was therefore lacking somewhat
in seasonal growth.
UNITED Es:-The potato
acreage in the entire United States
is estimated to be $4,000 acres or
90 per cent of last years acreage.
The condition of potatoes in the
United States is placed at 1854 per
cent of normal, which is / per cent
below the July / condition last year
and the 1O-year average condition on
July 1.
TOBAcCo-The tobacco acreage in
Wisconsin this year is estimated to
be 44,40O acres. This is an increase
of II per cent over the acreage last
year but 5000 acres less than the
1921 acreage and 5000 less than in
1920.
Conditions on July / was so per
cent of normal as compared to "a per
cent last year and 81 per cent on July
/ two years ago. The lower condition
this year is caused by extremely hot
and dry weather during the third week
in June, which either delayed trans
planting or prevented young plants
from making a start.
CORN-The corn acreage of the
State is estimated to be 2,209,0O
acres the same as last year. The con
dition of corn on July ! was the best
of all the leading crops in Wisconsin
having suffered less from the dry
weather. Warm weather during the
third week in June pushed corn along
so that the condition on July l was
fully as good as a year ago. There
were some late planted fields WHICH
lacked in seasonal growth, but cor
respondents estimated the condition
to be so per cent as compared to 80
per cent laat year and 10year
average of IS per cent. Based on the

forecasted to be 81 million bushels as
