People like to see children in a
screen play. Children have the
same effect upon an audience
as George Cohan discovered that
the flag had on a theater audience.
In the stage version there were
plenty of natural laughs, and 1
think the screen director has added
a couple of dozen more for good
measure. The sight of a bunch Of
children making human beings out
of five old bachelors is a pleasant
one. The men start out as ONE
and children dodgers and wind up
with a m~ade-to-order family and a
wife apiece.
Gillingwater and Harry Myers
play the roles Of two of the bache-
lors. Both are excellent. You do
not need sub-titles when Giiling-
water is around. Every move of the
hand or shrug of his shoulders tells
everything. He is n of the best
character men on the screen today.
He is really a great artist. Myers
fits well into the picture.
It has been a long time since 1
have seen Mae Marsh in a movie.
She is one of the orphans in the
story and she makes a sort Of a
Griffith-Marsh heroine out Of the
character. She hasn't much to do
but that is the fault Of the writer OF
the play. The men and the children
are the whole works in this one.
Claire Adams. Craufurd Kent and
Willard Lewis are also in the cast.
"Daddies' is good. clean entertain
ment. 1t is not dull because it is
clean and harmless. Very near an
ideal family story for either the
stage or the screen.

Rendering Priceless Service

Despite fire or storm or flood,
a telephone operator sticks to her
switchboard. A lineman risks
life and limb that his wires may
continue to vibrate with messag-
es of business or social life.
Other telephone employees for
goe comfort and even sacrifice
health that the job may not be
sighted.
The mass of people called the
public has come to take this type
of service forgranted and to use
the telephone in it's daily bust
ness and in emergencies, seldom
realizing what it receives in hu-
man devotion to duty and what
vast resources are drawn upon
to restore service.
It is right that the public
should receive this type of tele-
poone service. that it should ex-
pect the employment Of every
practical improvement in the art
and should insist upon progress
that keeps ahead of demand.
Telephone users realize that dol
lars can never measure the value
of many of their telephone calls.
The public wants the service,
and, if it stops to think, cheer
fully pays the moderate cost.

FARM EXTENSION WORK
BIG AID TO VIRGINIANS
County Agent Regarded as Public
Official in Distribution of
Information.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND Va, July S.-The work
of county agricultural agents in
the distribution of helpful informa-
ton" is comprehensive outlined in
a circular issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture and now
being distributed through its various
state agencies.
During the past few years." the
circular declares, the general pub
lie has come to a better understand
ing of the position of county agricul
tural agents. People low realize the
educational character of extension
work and regard the county agent as
public official, representing the
state college of agriculture. the United
States Department of Agriculture and
their own rural group. That it is not
part of his official duties to perform
for individual farmers or for organi-
cations such activities as production.
marketing or responsibility for social
organizations. is better appreciated
The rural public has learned to look
70 the county agent for what is far
more important-the distribution of
helpful information in all these fields
in such ways as experience has shown
to be most effective in reaching
large number of people"
The circular outlines the work of
the county agent and dwells on the
ties are to be performed for the best
good of all. His position" it adds,
is essentially one of leadership, and
his success may be measured largely
by his ability to develop local interest
and direct local cooperation"
