NEW YORK, May 28.-American
girls are just one year older than
the family Bible records show, it
seems. Mrs. Oliver Hartman,
wealthy society woman and presi-
gdent Of the Camp Fire Girls, an
organization with 10000 members,
said today:
Life is so fast-everything
moves SO rapidly-that girls of to-
day become sophisticated a year
younger than girls used to.
Girls are born to noise and mo-
tons today. At birth they are
greeted by the victrola and the
automobile.
after q survey of conditions
in every part of the United States
the Camp Fire Girls have decided
to lower the age of admittance
from twelve to eleven. For many
years we have been putting the
eleven-year-olds in separate class
called the Blue Bird camp. but
from now on the girls of eleven
will be right along with the big
girls.
Motion pictures have been a
great aid in educating girls. Pos
sibilities OF movies are limitless. OF
course, speak Of good pictures.
They have undoubtedly been instru-
mentaI in this sophistication of
girlsy We have so many thousands
Of girls in every part of the country.
II would advise their mothers to
watch what pictures they see and
what newspapers and books they
read. I think they should he
watched the closest since they are
most influential on the minds of
young girlss
1.-THE Camp Fire Girls are from
eleven to eighteen years old. An.
other reason we changed the age
Of admittance was that we thought
some times the little girls needed
the training more than the older
ones"
A mother herself, and a woman
who has always taken active in.
terest in social questions, Mrs,
Hartman, for the assurance OF
parents, said the sophistication was
an encouraging sign rather than
otherwise.

GOVERNOR OF OKLAHOMA
State Senate Relieves Him Of His
Duties BY a Vote OF
So 10 I.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-Gov. ]. c.
Walton was suspended from office
when the state senate by a vote OF
SO 10 l adopted a resolution temporal
lily relieving him of his official duties
following submission by the lower
house Of a bill Of impeachment against
him.
The impeachment bill charged the
executive with entering into "a cor
rupt agreement with DR.. a. E. Day-
export, state health commissioner. 10
place T. p. Edwards, the governor
personal chauffeur, on the payroll Of
the health department at 5000 a
month, and that thereby certain
moneys were diverted from the statu-
tory object and purpose for which
they were appropriated by law"
The suspension resolution was in
troduced by Senator W. NJ. Gulager.
of Muskogee. A committee was named
to inform the governor and lieutenant
governor of the action.
Lieut.. Gov. Trap is in Sapulpa,
Okla, and was notified by telephone.
The committee delivered their mes.
sage to the governor in his office.
Immediately afterward the house
governor with preventing the meet
ing of a grand jury that was TO
inquire into his official acts, and the
senate accepted it also.
The senate informed the house
that it would convene at any time to
receive additional impeachment ar
ticles that might be adopted later
by the lower body and then adjourned.
The house ended its session almost
at the same time.
The text of the resolution suspend,
ing the governor follows:
Whereas, the house Of representa-
tives of the ninth legislature pursu
ant to the provisions of the constitu-
ton has filed with the senate articles
of impeachment, and,
Whereas, ]. c. Walton, governor
of Oklahoma, is charged with oftens-
es made grounds of impeachment by
the constitution, and,
Whereas, the filing of the articles
with the senate automatically sus-
ponds J. c. Walton as governor and
the office with it's duties and compen
sations evolves upon the lieutenant
governor:
Now, therefore, be it resolved b.
the senate, that the governor and
lieutenant governor be advised as to
their duties in this event, and. that
the secretary Of the senate notify the
governor and lieutenant governor OF
the proceeding thus had and to pres
ent to each of them, a copy OF this
resolutiOn."

DRASTIC CUTS ARE MADE
AT THE MOVIE STUDIOS
Hiqh Production Cost and Large Sal
aries Are Blamed for
Retrenchment.

New York.-The high cost Of
pictures has practically stopped all
production activities OF Famous Play
ers corporation and no more pictures
will be made by that concern until
production cost is reduced 10 a com
mon sense basis. Famous Players
stock has dropped 1915 points on the
exchange.
This statement was issued from the
offices OF the oncern here. Ii means
that drastic cuts have been made in
every department at both the Long
Island and the Hollywood studios.
While the order issued by A. Zukor
and his associates will not interfere
with the program announced for this
year, as all pictures OF the schedule
have practically been finished, ii will
mean practically a shutdown for at
least 10 weeks.
At the Long Island studios Thomas
work on pictures. These stars will
be the only ones kept at work. No
announcement of the extent OF the
curtailing at Hollywood is continued
in the rather brief Official statement
but it is understood that all depart
ments have been materially cut.
The announcement comes as one
OF the most drastic in the movie in
dustry in years and means that hun
dreds OF screen actors and actresses,
writer's and technical men will be
forced to seek elsewhere for work.
At the Hollywood studios pictures
that are in the course of making or
editing will be finished and then the
lulu will start. According to a state
ment by Jesse l.. Lasky, first vice
president of the company and relayed
from Los Angeles, not only the high
cost Of production, but the high sal
aries Of actors have had 10 do with
the issuing of this drastic announce
ment and it is the intention OF the
company not to resume until not only
the production costs but the salaries
be placed on a sane basis.

Observation-Disclosures Of the fed

forcement machinery in an effort to
stop liquor smuggling and to check
what is described by officials as
rapidly increasing supplies of high
power beer is under consideration at
the treasury. The program contem-
plates practically doubling the

placing of a probition agent in every
brewery.

Grafton for the coast guard have not

rum runner off the coasts. Addi-
tional personnel is also proposed.
Secretary Mellon is said to recog-
nize that High power beer is be-
coming all too common in many
sections OF the country, and it is
reported, is inclined 10 favor a re-
turn 10 the old arrangement OF
putting an agent OF the treasury on
guard in all breweries so that daily
tests may be made Of products.
Treasury officials denied that the
new program was due to recent
criticism that has come from several
quarters regardless of prohibition
enforcement. The internal revenue
bureau is giving thought to means of
alternating difficulties in the handling
OF industrial alcohol and alcohol for
scientific purposes.

NEWS Of THE STATE
IMPORTANT HAPPENINGS OF THE
PAST WEEK IN SOUTH
DAKOTA.
Western Newspaper Union News Services.
THRESHlNG NOW NEARLY DONE
Fall Flowing And Potato Harvest
Are In Order.

Watertown.-Only in the outlying
districts OF South Dakota does n
threShing remain to be done and those
areas are small, according to a report
by II. o. H~erbrandson. agriculture sta
tistician Of the bureau Of crop and live
stock estimates here. These late
fields are deteriorating considerably
because Of the abundant moisture
which is causing grain TO sprout, the
report said. Corn is unusually favored
in this state this season and as n
consequence will be practically all
matured without frost damage. Some
corn in limited areas has already been
picked where urgently needed for
feeding. The presence Of sufficient
moisture is tending to increase the
fall blowing, especially when COM
pared 10 the small amount Of this
work done last year. The acreage de-
voted to winter rye does not seem TO
have increased much, if at all, from
one year ago. The state is in the
midst Of a potato harvest. Digging OF
the late varieties is just beginning.
Yields continue to run quite uneven,
but average from so to 100 bushels
per acre Of very mixed quality. They
must all be shipped as soon as dug,
as there are only limited facilities
available. The run Of hogs to market
from this state continues large. Re
ports indicate little increase in fall
borrowings. The movement of west
ern range cattle is at it's height. The
health condition of all livestock is ex-
Cellent.
