ed by all people, those who go to the
theater to be only entertained and by
those who desire to leave a theater
with some real thoughts. There is
lot of action. and adventure as well
as historical Abeauty tucked away in
this poem of -Longfellow. There Is
an abundance of action, romance and
one Of the sweetest love stories ever
told.
The director has wisely devoted
more than half of the nine reels to
the voyage of the Mayfiower to Amer
lea. Thousands of dollars were spent
in producing an accurate duplicate of
the famous boat which started the
Pilgrims out on their voyage to es-
tablish democracy.
The spirit of romance is splendidly
shown while the Pilgrims are headed
for the new world. Ray makes his
John Alden a real man although he
wears a ''tin hat" of the army Of that
period. He stages daring rescue
at sea, subdues an ugly crew and
then sails in to make the Indians safe
for the Pilgrims.
There is enough real red blooded
action tied up in this movie to make
it a popular success. Romance comes
in when Capt. Myles Standish sends
John Alden to make a proposal of
marriage to the fair Priscilla. 1t is
then that she asks, why don't you
speak for yourself. John?"

Mississippi Valley Group Hits De

NEW YORK, June 24-Three
| groups seeking a strong and practical
| agricultural plank for the Democratic
national platform came together in
conference today in an effort to frame
| declaration for the resolutions

united support of the farm interests
| in the party.
Three distinct planks drawn in as
many meetings of farm groups yes
| terday were thrown into the melting
| pot for amalgamation into what was
| predetermined to be "a declaration
of party policy on agriculture, which
| will be sound, practical and of real
| significance to those who are await

store the industry to it's rightful
| place in the economic structure"
| While three fundamentally diverg-
ent views on the essentials of a help-
| full policy of farm relief were repre-
sented in the meeting, participants
expressed the opinion that an agree
ment could be reached.
Foreign Markets Urged.
One group, composed chiefly of gov
ernors of middle western states. and
headed by Carl Vrooman of Illinois
former assistant secretary of agri-
culture, viewed as essential to "agri-
| cultural restoration" the reopening OF
foreign markets through govern
mental credits to foreign buyers. An
other, in which congressional lead
| ers from the farming states OF the
Mississippi valley were the guiding
spirits, urged the Yoakum plan OF
governmental assistance in the or
ganization of cooperative marketing
agencies.
The third group organized around
! the leaders of the American Farm
Bureau Federation. urged better cred

Not so much is being heard of the
wet and dry question as few days
ago. Mr.. Bryan Is on the ground
and has made 1t very clear that there
will be nothing doing on even a
near-wet plank" And the judgment
of most of the elder statesmen, out
side of New York and New England
circles. is that Mr.. Bryan is right.
Long Fight Certain.
This threatens to be one Of most
arduous conventions in years for the
delegates and workers and attend
ants. Long hours Of night sessions
OF the committee on resolutions and
interminable hours of balloting are
ahead. Traffic congestions, always
serious here. are magnified manifold.
You never know when you are going
to arrive when you set out for a dis
cussion. People are good
and kindly and an intense spirit of
hospitality prevails. The city folk 8
seem to regard the convention as by
way of celebrating a Roman holiday,
neglectful of the fact that it is a
profoundly serious occasion, affecting
the destinies Of the nation, and that
the delegates have grave work before
them.
