"WITHTN THE LAW" SEEMS
NORMA'S BIGGEST YET

From the grandeur of the Court Of
Louis X in "The Eternal Flame" ana
the enchantment of the turreted East
in Robert Hichens' "The Voice From
the Minaret" to the underworld of New
York City may seem a long step for
any motion picture star, but the YER
satile Norma Talmadge makes 1t with
her latest drama, within the Law
one of the most powerful crook plays
ever brought to the screen. AS Mary
Turner, the little shop girl around
whom Bayard Vellier wrote his tre-
mendously successful stage produc-
tion, Miss Talmadge is said to perform
the finest emotional work of her ca
reer. Some of the strongest scenes
are enacted in the courtroom anu IN
prison when Mary Turner, shop girl,
is convicted and sentenced for a theft
of which she is not guilty. Because OF
her record and police persecution
Mary is unable to find Respectable
employment ON her release, and It is
this circumstance that sends her INTO
a band of blackmailers and brings
about an extraordinary romance. Many
of the principal scenes are shown IN
the Tombs and at Auburn Prison. as
well as in the New York underworld
proper and in the fashionable centres
of Florida. This widely heralded Pho
todrama, directed by Frank Lloyd Will
be shown at the Nixon Theatre next
Wednesday and Thursday as a FIRST
National picture.

FARMERS ARE DETERMINED
TO HE Ii THEMSELVES
BY GUY FLENNER

While many proposals are being
made to aid the farmer, he is study
ing the situation from all angles and
has about concluded that the sure
means of relief will come thru his
own analysis and action. Diversified
crops, smaller acreage to reduce
hired help, the elimination of I'M
profitable crops and the increase of
profitable crops are on his program
of self help. Meantime, of course,
he is seeking all the information
available as to freight rates and the
following may give him and others
additional light as to rates on grain.
The market reports showed that
on June 20, 1922, cash wheat in
Chicago brought $1.15 and on the
same date this year it sold for $1.05.
The freight rate had not been
changed during that period and the
fiuctuation during that year was
greater than any proposes to cut
freight rates. In other words, If
freight rates had been cut in two this
summer the farmer having wheat to
sell would still get less for his
product than he would have year
ago.
But since June 80 freight rates re-
naming constant, wheat has con-
tinued to become more worthless"
Instead of being worth $1.05 In
Chicago recently it brought $1.01,
and the day before less than 81.
What freight alteration can you sug-

could not get any more for it than he
could have received a year ago in
Chicago after paying the freight.
The railroads may be guilty of all
the mean things said about them.
but the real niger in the woodpile
is something entirely different.
Crucifying the railroads or shooting
them at sunrise or turning them over
to the government for operation will
not alter the fact that wheat went
down 10 to % cents bushel in a
year and corn went up approximately
20 to 25 cents in the same time, and
under precisely the same transporta-
ton conditions.

SOMETHING UNHEARD OF
IN THE PRESIDENCY

A wonderful thing has happened
in giving to the United States q
farmer president. 1t has come about
at time when the attention of the
nation was riveted upon farming
and its needs as 1t never was before.
1t has come at time when there was
a powerful farm bloc in congress; at
a time when senators of much power
were demanding special session of
congress to legislate especially for
the farmers. 1t has come at time
when the passing president, Harding
had gone into the Kansas wheat
fields to drive binder and to shock
wheat, and say to farm bloc sena-
tor present, Now do get in on the
farm bloc?" 1t has come at time
when Commercial clubs and other
civic bodies turnout the country are
admitting that. something must be
done to benefit the farmer and are
debating just what and how it shall
be done. 1t has come at a time when
the vice president of the United
States was at the old farm in Yer
mont, where he was raised, and when
he was himself engaged in operating
the mower and hay rake, and the
particular hour when he was using a
chisel and mallet doing some tree
surgery to protect a big maple tree
from decay at big ''sore" in its
side. The telegram informing him
that he must now become president |
of the United States was handed to
him at the old homestead still oc-
cupied by his father A long dis
lance telephone call from Washing
ton explained to him that his father,
being a justice of the peace, should
to him the oath of office
that should make him president. A
farmer in farmers house, admin
istered the oath that made his own
son president of the United States,
to fill the place made vacant by the
death of the great farmer president.

Both of them had been raised on the
farm and had climbed up the ladder
of fame and usefulness to the White
House. For two and half year:
they had both sat in cabinet meetings
as associates presidential, one a.
president, the other ready to take
the bat ii anything should happen
which 1t did.
Twenty-Five years ago Roosevelt
became president, and he was diff
ferent from anybody we had ever
had. He was cowboy and man OF
the people, and he inaugurated 9
campaign that put system into the
administration of the western ranges
under the name of the national
forestry department. With one hand
he smote the grafters and with the
other he restrained the corrupt or
CARNATIONS of politicians, and he got
by with it, His influence marked an
epoch in the nations history.
Now comes President Coolidge, a
silent man and q fighter. With him

standing in the case. His wife Is a
fine, sensible woman from the ranks.
who feels at ease anywhere, and
their boys were out working for
wages on farms when father took the
oath of office. The older one, when
sought out and interviewed, adj
mitted that his father was president,
and then sought to dismiss the inter.
view by saying to his employer,
Which one of those barns shall we
tackle next?"s On being asked if he
was not going to Washington, he
replied that IL was not necessary,
that there was nothing for him to
do at Washington, not till school
started, and he would go on work
ing where he was.

gest that would have saved the
farmer this sharp loss within twenty
days? If it is excessive freight rates
that are principally to blame what
kind of adjustment would you sug-
/ gest in rates that would permit the
| farmer even to hold his own as to
wheat prices in the light of what has
occurred this month.
Then there is corn. What would
you say the effect of freight rates
was on that product? On June 80,
1922, cash corn sold in Chicago at
60 cents. A year later the quotation
was 81 cents During the year, with
freight charges remaining the same,
wheat declined 10 cents a bushel in
price and corn improved 10 cents.
II the decline in wheat price is due
to the freight rate, why not also
grant that the gain in corn price is
chargeable to the same influence?
The other day corn sold for SO
cents a bushel in Chicago, gain of
cents since June 80, while the
freight rate never budged. Would
you consider freight rate a deter
mining cause in that increase in
value? If your answer is no, why
then, would you say that it helped to
shove down the price of wheat?
How can freight rate work in OPP
posite directions at the same time.
Or would you say that the corn
farmers had joined in conspiracy
with Wall street to boost the price
of their product, and to cut the
throats of the wheat farmers?
How else do you explain the
but significant fact that the |
corn farmer is seeing the value of his
product increase, while his wheat !
growing neighbor is in despair as his
prices sink lower and lower?
Surely wheat and corn farmers
operate under the same governmental
statutes. We have heard of no dis
in these laws for or
against either. If man-made laws
control the situation, wheat and
corn should go up or down together
Instead of that we have the spectacle
Of one becoming worthless and the
other priceless.
We do not pretend to know much
about the equity of freight rates
Whenever we pay for freight we are
sure we are paying too much, but we
llso think the same about coal and
abor in the back room and ham and
Eggs and caddie fees and golf ballS
Ind gasoline: 1t may be that freight
'ates on grain are unnecessarily high
and that in fairness they should be
'educed. We argue neither for nor
lgainst this supposition.
1t seems apparent, however, that
freight rates are not the controlling
element in the prosperity or the
poverty of the farmer. Market
fluctuations are ten times as effec-
i've for good or evil as freight rates.
II the farmer year ago could
ave shipped his corn to Chicago for
othing, the price he would have OBJ
aimed for it would have been at least
o cents bushel less than he can
ct for his corn at his elevator to-
ay. If he had free transportation
or his wheat in Chicago today hef
