Farm Groups Conferred at
Des Moines, Iowa Last Week
Important Agricultural Problems Dis
cussed by Leaders of Various Or
CARNATIONS of Several States

An important agricultural con-
ference was held at Des Moines,
Iowa on May 12 and 13 when rep
resentatives of all farm and market
ing organizations of several states
met for a general discussion and
study of the farm situation.
The states represented were Min
nesota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kan
sas, Missouri, Iowa and Illinois, and
a very representative attendance was
had from these states.
Comprehensive resolutions were
adopted urging the necessity of or
ganization among farmers; endorsing
cooperative marketing of farm pro-
ducts; acquiring control of facilities
necessary to marketing; pledging &C.
tive and financial support to the
American Council Of Agriculture in
its program looking to the enactment
of legislation providing for an export
corporation to properly care for the
surplus farm products in America.
This contemplates such disposition
of the surplus as to prevent it's max
ing the price of these products on
the home market. In other words, to
secure law, if possible, to bring
about a functioning of the tariff on
agricultural products so that farmers
will not have to compete with the
peasant and peon labor of other parts
of the world.
This convention, after considerable
discussion, simply reiterated the
former position of farmers in the mid
die west that if industry, through the
tariff and its benefciaries, be en-,
titled to protection as fundamental
policy, this protection should also
I, function for agriculture the same as
for industry.
/ Minnesota was represented by j :.
F. Reed, president of the Farm
Bureau; Thos. E. eastman, repre-
senting the Council of Agriculture
and James Manahan, representing the
Equity Exchange.
The meeting as whole was inn
portant in unifying farm thought
from the various organizations and
marketing associations, and as get
together meeting was significant and
helpful.

RAILROAD MAN KILLED
NEAR WILLARD TODAY

ploye on an N. p. work train

caught between the large ditch
ing machine and the end of the
car, tooth of the dipper on the

ROYAL OFFERING
IS COMEDY REVUE

V. Z. sinner, Royal producer, has
staged another unusually poppy com
edy for the first half Of the current
week which began Saturday. The
title Of this latest musical affair on
the Royal boards is Smiles
tight little-right little" royalty
show, rich in comedy lines and situa-
tons which have been nicely whipped
into shape from four-act comedy
TO a snappy one-act affair, inter
spersed with song. dance and humor
by the various members Of the com
pany and the Royal Beauty Chorus.
Kirkland have the leading comedy
roles.
For the screen attraction the Roya.
offers six or seven reels Of real thrills
in 1.-The Lighthouse by the Sea-" the
latest effort Of the surprisingly in
telligent dog actor, "Rin-Tin-Tin."
The story centers around the keeper
Of lighthouse stationed on the Pa
cific coast, who stands in the way of
a band Of bootleggers who carry on
their Illicit trade in the territory. The
tale is one Of great excitement, strong
dramatic power and not a little
bumor. The story j. enacted By Louise
Fazenda, Buster Collier Jr.. Mathew

EPIC Of NORTH
WOODS At
PRINCESS

The Princess got away TO new
week with a flying start with speed,
action and many thrills as the chief
ingredients OF the extraordinarily
poppy picture heading the program.
The Ancient Highway" is the title
OF this nice mixture of adventure in
the Canadian north woods and mod
ern society in Quebec.
In the first reel Of THE Ancient
Highway" the spectator has a ring
side scat 10 one of the most exciting
scraps ever given TO two movie actors
to "play," with Jack Holt and Mon
tague Love the principals in the little
affair. The fight is limited tn the mar
row confines Of business office and
the gentlemen concerned are ssrbed
as gentlemen-but the action soon
changes that.
With such q start. the picture fan
need not fear that this James Oliver
Curwood tale is going to sag in the
middle. On the contrary. the interest,
suspense and excitement keeps on the
upgrade until the final flicker, and
that's about all one could ask OF
movie.
Jack Holt is seen in about bis best
role. that of Cliff Brant. a young man
who has been roaming the world and
who returns to Quebec for the express
purpose of beating up certain multi
millionaire who has cheated him out
Of his lands. He does the beating in
grand style and is witnessed By beau
tiful Billie Dove. another who is in
the act Of being fleeced By the un-
scrupulous millionaire.
The film was made in the north
country and the logging scenes, the
log jam scenes and the many other
interesting sequences are quite auth
entic. Excitement mounts TO a high
pitch when the millionaire attempts
TO prevent Holt from floating his logs
down the river BY dynamiting and
creating a Jam.
THE Ancient Highway has excel
lent support by the program OF short
subjects which includes the comedy
"The Sky Plumber" and the Princess
News. John Metz. the Princess or
ganist. offers "Cheatin' on Me-"

! KEYS COMES
To EMPIRE
SCREEN
Stage Thriller Comedy, Put
in Film With Douglas
MacLean, Is Funny.

It k the consensus Of theatrical
opinion that the present day populari-
ty of mystery plays and the success
of stage dramas similar to 1.-THE Bat. :"
THE Thirteenth Chair" and "The Cat
and the Canary" San be traced direct
ly to George NJ. Cohan's. daring as q
playwright and producer in general
and to his "Seven Keys to Baldpate"
in particular.
Seven Keys to Baldpate- as a
stage play shattered a good many box
office records and now Douglas Mac
Lean comes along with the picture
version which promises to hold its
own with any of the recent produc-
tons in the field of comedy.
The picture, which opened its en-.
gagement Saturday ut the Empire was
directed by Fred Newmeyer, RESPONSE
BILE for the Harold Lloyd hits, "Grand-
mas Boy" "a Sailor Made Man" and
Safety Last"
The story as it is brought to the
screen concerns MacLean as a young
author who has been abroad and sup
posedly writing a novel. He returns
the day before the deadline date for
publication without line of his book
written. His publisher, and incident
ally his fiancee's father, is furious and
forbids the marriage until he turns
over finished manuscript.
Doug has "a hours to turn the
trick-a seemingly impossible task. He
retires to the seclusion of Baldpate
Inn, hotel which has been closed for
the season, and sets to it with a will.
He is sure to- be undisturbed for he
has been told he has the only key TO
the place.
What happens to Doug, when a
gang Of crooks makes tho inn its head
quarters, and six other "only keys
put in appearance, makes Seven
Keys to Baldpate" real screen enter
tainment.
Jimmy Bassett and his band of
youthful syncopators begin their sew
cnth week at the Empire with a nov
city musical affair called "Spooks,
hair-raising bit Of diversion that has
many possibilities for entertainment.
Several new novelty numbers are in
PRODUCED during the course of the Of
fering.
Other features Of the current bill
are Felix Gets His Fill" a Hodge
Podse" novelty and the Empire News.

As a special added comedy feature
Anna Seymour joins Henry Santrey
at the conclusion of the orchestra act
in some impromptu comedy lines and
business. In private life Anna Sey-
mour is Mrs. Henry Ssntrey, and the
husband and wife team have a clever
turn.
The fastest opening turn Of the
season gets under way when the Mel
roy Sisters with their songs and
steps open the show. The Melroys
haven't been down this way in sew
eral seasons and this trip around the
circuit finds them with new and more
intricate steps of taps and clogs than
when here the last time.
Lewis and Norton in From Coast
to Coast" present an act OF comedy
lines and situations based on the
trials and tribulations of hotel clerks,
managers and guests. Their turn is
divided into four scenes.
The usual added screen attractions
are billed for showing with the
Winding Stair" At yesterday aft
ernoon's performance another chapter
Of wild West" the thrilling serial
Of outdoor life, an Aesop's Fable and
news reel also were shown.
