She and I were lunching to-

quiet restaurant. Then she told
me a story Of her own experiences
while we fingered over our iced
tea.

his wife ana I are the dearest Of
friends" Marion began. Before
he married, both he and I worked
in the office Of the c." mann

Agnes Ayres Stars In
"The Guilty One

"The Guilty One," Agnes Ayres'
starring Paramount production, will
be on view at the Century Theatre
Baltimore, during the week beginning
Monday, June 8.
This is another extremely lavish
picture in which Miss Ayres has OPP
portunities to wear stunning gowns.
It was directed by Joseph Henabery.
In the supporting cast are such we'll
known players as: Edward Burns,
Cyril Ring, Crawford Kent, George
Seigman and Clarence Burton.
"The Guilty One," was produced at
the Selwyn Theatre, New York, with
Pauline Frederick in the leading role
in 1923 and the critics agreed that it
was a great show, with a most amaz-
ing and surprising twist at the eli
max. It is the story of young mar
ried life that is most interesting
mixture of sex appeal, the eternal
triangle, murder mystery and COM
edy.
"Coquettish Fancies," is the title
Of the speciality act which will be
given in conjunction with the regular
program of moving pictures during
the same week. Captivating and vi

The Weather Bureau of the United
States Department of Agriculture is
frequently asked what is the maxi
mum known or possible size Of hail
stones. According to it's records and
documents in the Weather Bureau
library, the maximum possible size of
single hailstone can not be posi-
lively stated, but stones larger than
a mans fist and weighing over a
a pound have several times been re-
reported on good authority. During
a hailstorm in Natal, on April H.,
1874 stones fell that weighed a pound
and half, and passed through COR
rugated-iron roof as if it had been
made of paper. Hailstones IA inches
in circumference fell in New South
Wales, February, 1847. At Cazorla,
Spain, on June Is, 1929, houses were
crushed under blocks Of ice, some of
which are said to have weighed four
and a half pounds. In October, 1874,
hailstOrm at Cette, France, wrecked
houses and sank vessels.
Authentic reports of the findings of
hailstones much larger than those a.
bove mentioned undoubtedly refer in
all cases to masses Of ice resulting
from the coalescence, after falling, of
a number of smaller hailstones lying
closely packed together on the
ground.

AGRICULTURE

An increase of over 100000
gallons in the annual milk prodac-
ton of New Castle county, Del, with
out increasing the number of dairy
cows owned has followed five years
dairy improvement work, in which
the county agent, progressive dairy
farmers, and agricultural organiza-
tons cooperated. This county is To-
Gated near a large city affording a
good market for whole milk, and
dairying is an important farm indus
try.
When extension work in dairying
was begun in New Castle county,
many farmers were in the habit of
buying medium type of grade COW
without guaranty of health. Fol
lowing county meeting of dairymen
in 1918, four carloads Of purebred
cows from herds under Federal SUI
pervision for tuberculosis control were
brought in and distributed as far as
possible at the rate Of one to farm,
so that as many farmers as possible
might learn for themselves whether
or not the investment paid. The boys
and girls on the farms became inter-
ested, were organized into club, and
! a purebred calf secured by each men,
Der. New clubs have been organized
each year following, and exhibits of
club members stock are feature of
district shows and the State fair.
Club members have produced about
one-fifth OF the present holdings of
purebred stock in the county. Pure
bred bulls and cows have been pur-
chased by many farmers, after the
movement was begun, on their own in
itiative. There are now about 900
pure-bred dairy cattle in the county
while in 1915 there were only $50. A
carefully worked-out ration is fed
Over 1000 dairy cattle in the county
are under Federal supervision for tu-
berculosis control. Four annual con-
signment sales of surplus stock have
been held, the 1923 sale totaling over
$1,000.

One proof that the training which
boys and girls receive in All clubs
has permanent value is shown in the
continued accomplishments of club
members after they have, for various
reasons, been deprived temporarily
of the direction of the cooperative ex-
tension workers who conduct these
clubs. One Of these boys, Fred Grit
fits, of Blount county, Tenn, fed and
cared for a calf and a pure bred pig
as part of his club work in 1920.
The next season, although there was
no longer an extension agent in the
county, Fred continued his livestock
work for which he had developed a
strong liking. By selling pigs from
his purebred sow and doing general
farm work to earn money he was able
to buy a registered Aberdeen Angus
cow and heifer. He now owns, acord-
ing to reports to the United States
Department of Agriculture, four reg
istered cows and several calves which
he manages according to the prac-
tees he learned in his club work. He
plans to enter High school this fall
and pay his school expenses by means
of his livestock.

''The Corn Belt Derby
This film treats of the economic
phases of corn husking and eliminates
in the perturbation Of an interstate
husling contest in which husking
rises to the dignity of major sport.
The slow-motion camera reveals the
technique employed by the husking
champs to speed up the operation.
Scenes introduce the old peg, that
played an important part in the con-
quest of the New World, and immor-
talize the "husking bee," a major farm
