John Deverell as Bunny Ban
ton supplies in good style what
modicum of comedy has been
allotted the piece. Alfred lima
as an Italian cop abets him in
the last act in bit that is
uproariously funny. Henry
Kendall makes a personable and

is diverted from infatuation's
pathway to the lane of love
though he has an irritating
habit of subordinating his pas

There'll be some revamping,

STEPPE'S GAYETY
SHOW WINS
THE FANS

A host Of burlesque fans who
journeyed down to the Gayetys
last night found Harry Steppe
and his 20. K" show very much
to their liking, Judging from the
applause showered upon. the com
bination. The show is made up of
a series of humorous sketches,
vaudeville acts and a lot of
dancing numbers. The two acts
are split into fourteen scenes and
there is action all the time.
Harry Steppe is the legitimate
successor to Ben WEIGH, who was
the king of Jewish burlesque
comedians. In this years edition
of the Cain and Davenport show
he rises to new heights as a buff
foon. Owen Martin, in the
straight role, cleverly assists in
bringing forth the laughs. while
burlesque's old friend. Vic Cas-
more, as an excitable Frenchman,
got his usual warm reception.
jacques Wilson contributed a
number of songs, and the Carmin
sisters pleased with songs and
dances. The dancing honors went
TO Mabel Reflow and Solly Hite.
Their offering is one of the best
seen here this season. George Nc
Clennon, a colored performer, won
favor with his laughing clarinet
and topped his act with two
dancing numbers that went over
big. RUDE Walman's whistling
speciality and Hilja Ilvonen's aero
batic dance were roundly APP
plauded.
The chorus is pleasing in looks
and is above the average in sing
ing and dancing ability.-H. w.

A FUN BILL AT
THE PALACE,
AND GOOD

This chap Raymond Griffith is
coming along as a screen comic.
1t seems but few months ago
since he was cast as mere Incl
dental atmosphere or as a foil
to get laughs for the star. Then
it was discovered that this \same
Mr.. Griffith had that rare fac.
ulty of winning laughs on his
own even though his supply of
building blocks was very limited.
Now we have Mr.. Griffith in a
photoplay where the Kleig lights
shine upon him almost con-
stantly and he justifies the, prom
inence and the faith of those
who believe him fortified with
the qualities that mean laughter.
Hes a Prince" isr the name
of the latest Griffith comedy,
cross between slap-stick and
broad burlesque, more in the sa-
tirical mood, but thoroughly
amusing. One suspects that the
author of this screen drama has
been a faithful follower of the
Prince of Wales adventures as
portrayed in the rotagravure Sec
tions. The hero is a monarch in
a mythical kingdom whose natu-
raj pleasures are interrupted for
the dutiful business of laying
cornerstones, being guest of honor
at banquets, christening new
ships, and having as much pri-
vacy as the proverbial goldfish
Out of it all Mr.. Griffith man
ages to extract much wholesome
fun and for those who must
have their romance there is
little love story woven into the
adventure.
Altogether the bill at the Pal
ace this week is one which will
delight those who prefer laughs
as the predominating note or
their cinema fare. There is a
subsidiary film, Madam Sans
Jane" a Hal Roach comedy that
burlesques the famous Gloria, and
will tickle even the most solemn
crouch before its last footage is
unwound.
An International News Reel
special, gathered together to show
the thrills that come in the every
day life of q news camera man,
packs more punch and excite
ment, than one would believe
possible in a short film. 1t also
serves to recall wildly some of
the really great moments of the
last generation, and Is decidedly
worth waiting for. See it. by all
means.
Summing it up, the program
at the Palace is one that will
furnish delightful diversion for
the motion picture fan of every
taste.-L. D.

Marketing Association was formed
about three years ago and the tur-
key growers started on their cooper
alive marketing enterprise. The.
County Extension Office furnished
advice and information which helped
in p~erfecting a sound workable or
%ganization. The growers elected their
own officers and managers and the
venture was a success from the start.
Last year the name of the Organi-
zatiOn was changed to that of the
"POndera Poultry Growers Associa-
ton" and the scope Of activity was
enlarged to include the improvement
and marketing Of all poultry pro-
ducts. The Extension Service is
called upon for assistance and advice
but the duties Of operation and man
agement rest with the producers
themselves.

it a triangular piece which he at
tached firmly to a set of discarded
names. He used the anne material
for a back band. Under the names
and cOwhide collar he used a COM
mon sweat pad, thus making a col
lar-hame combination of humane
style. He was careful to put the
point of draft at it's proper place.
The horses which worked with this
light home made harness did not
have sore shoulders at the end of
spring work. Mr.. Mailman thinks
this is a good outfit.
Snaps
Snaps should be used as substi-
tutes for buckles wherever possible
on big team harness. They are great
time savers and take but one oper-
alton to attach, while with buckles
the loose strap must be inserted
through the buckle, the tongue al
the buckle adjusted to the hole in
the strap, and, if a neat job is tC
be done, the strap inserted through
the guard loop below the buckle.
Where regular buckles are used
on the harness, adjustment IF the
harness to fit the horse is usually
made at the places where the har
ness is buckled together. But where
snaps take the place of regular
buckles, the Conway buckle pro
vides a safe, quick means Of ad
iustment. The Conway buckle ad

hooked from the hame and dropped

The chain trace harness is simple,

ever, especially by men who are
starting farming who want to keep
their equipment to the lowest pos
sible cost. Often the chain tugs are
enclosed in a leather boot to prevent
chatting the horses side. The tugs
may fasten to a hook in the hame
or to a permanent staple.

CITES PONDERA
TURKEY SUCCESS

(FrOm the Montana State ColIege).
VvTITH THE successful market
NA ing Of more than 100000
w pounds o. turkeys last year,
the POndera Poultry Growers Asso-
citation is one of the outstanding x
amples of effective cooperative mar
keting in Montana, according to J.
G. Taylor, director Of the Montana
Extension Service.
Mr.. Taylor points out also that the
POndera County enterprise, it's de-
velOpment, organization and opera
tiOn, is a good example of the part
played by the Montana Extension
service in the marketing of farm
products. Federal regulations prOhi-
bit extension agents from engaging in
such work as organization managers,
secretaries or business managers, but
the agents do play IN important part
In the necessary preliminary work
leading up to such organization.
In the case of Pondera county,
before the present marketing system
was established, the turkeys there
were of the ordinary farm kind, with
out special distinction as to breeding
or quality. The first effort of the
Extension Service was to direct at
tention to the increased returns
which would come from better bred
and better fitted birds. The next steT
was to bring to the attention of the
growers the market standards an6
market requirements of turkeys, and
numerous meetings and demonstra
lions were held to bring out he i'm.
pOrtant points of killing, picking
grading and packing.
Growers entered into the effor
with enthusiams and great progress
was made in raising the quality o
POndera county turkeys. After thi
preliminary ground had been covered
( the Extension Service next called at
t~entiOn to the possibilities of co
operative marketing, pointing out III
advantage of a standardized product
of uniform quality and Of dependabl
uniform grades. The question o
! pooling the entire turkey crop of tn
county and selling it to the highes
. bidder was thoroughly discussed a
