EASTERN BANKS

I0WA's FARMS
Local Institutions Forced to

BIZ Times Special
DIES MONIES, Iowa. Feb. 49,
Eastern banking and insurance in

mortgages on Iowa farm lands. The
same condition exists to a more or

These mortgages found their way

HAYS WARS ON
EXTRA Lines
AIT HOLLY W0OD
Casting Bureau Inaugurated
by Big Boss to Do Away
With Evil.

BIZ United Press
HOLLYWOOD, Feb 19.-Wield
ing his big stick in the most sweep
peror of f1lmdom, Will Hays has
wiped out the atmospheric extra
lines.
The amending procession Of film
struck flotsam which daily harrassed
the casting directors have com
pletely disappeared.
Instead has been created a cen
trail casting bureau, a cooperative
nonprofit corporation, organized and
maintained by the principal studios.
Still Extras
The extras, though, have not been
eliminated as movie scnerey by the
Haysian turn of events. They have
merely changed their stamping
grounds.
The studios have discarded their
voluminous card-indexes, with the
names of thousands Of extras of
every type-blondes and bruettes,
old, slim women; old, fat men; Mex
leans, Negroes, fair-haired children,
freckle-faced boys, fallen women.
and fast f1appers. Instead is one
master index maintained by the
Central Casting Bureau.
The bureau is operated under the
aegis Of VIII Hays, with his personal
Hollywood representative, Fred Beet
son, in charge.
Two-Fold Purpose
Purpose Of the organization was
two-fold, according to Hays.
1.-The primary purpose was to Sc
cure a wider and better selection OF
extras for the studios and to fur
nish steady employment as far as
possible to those who are really fitted
for the work" he said.
Secondly, it was purposed to elm
mate abuses in casting which have
been a thorn in the side Of the army
of extras that have grown up with
the industry"
For years charges of favodtism
have been hurled at various studios
and casting directors by disgruntled
extras.
The exact number of the extra
army in Hollywood has never been
accurately gagged. Conservative cast
ing directors place 1t between $500
and 10000. Others place the figure
as high as 10000 counting registra-
ton in all classes.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-02-19

a figure which will place them in
position to reap a profit.
Even if farm prices remain at their
present levels, the first mortgage
holders will always be able to get
back their money and some profit.
So, eastern financiers> possessing
first mortgages are not bothered
over what may happen in the corn
belt. The individuals doing the
worrying are the farmers, who can't
meet the interest charges, and the
local bankers, whose vaults are
stuffed with second mortgages and,
in some cases, third mortgages.
1t is these second and third mort
cages which have caused the ruin
Of corn belt banks. For this paper
has been made worthless by the
shrinkage in farm values.

COURTS WILL DECIDE
NATIONALITY OF SON
OF AUSTRIAN COUNT

NEW YORK, Oct. Is (N-The ques-
ton OF whether two year old Peter
Salm Hoogstraeten is to become an
Austrian or an American will be the
chief issue in the trial set for next
Monday of Count Ludwig Salm Hoog-
straeten's suit. for separation against
his wife, the former Mill:cent Rogers.
Counsel for the count said today
that the chief point of issue in the
trial would be the custody Gf the
child. Peter is now living with his
mother Count Salm Hoogstraetea
will ask the court to award the boy
to him.
The count never saw the boy until
he was more than year cid, the
child being born in this country after
the countess had left her husband in
Europe and returned to her father
H. H. Rogers. She is .heiress to
part of the Standard Oil fortune
left by the late H. H. Rogers.
In December, 1925, while the coun-
tess was living in Palm Beach, Fla.
with her son, it was reported that
an attempt was made to kidnap the
boy. Detectives were employed tc
guard the house. Count Salm, through
his attorney. characterized this pre-
caution as a useless display of eX-
travagance'' and the attorney denied
that the count was in any way re,
sponsible for what had happened.
The couple were married in jan
uary, 1924, without the consent of the
Rogers family.

concerning the concentration OF such
large army in Sonora. BY the end
of the week. thers will be 10000
soldiers, under the supreme COM
mand of former President Obregon,
assembled in Sonora. Laconic Off
cial announcement is to the effect
that the troops are being concen-
trated for the purpose of suppressing
the Yaqui rebellion, yet, according to
General Jose Alvarez, there are only
1900 Indians in revolt The disparity
between the federal army and their
en- nemies is not explained.
In some quarters the disposition
suggests the belief of political con-
tingencies rather than the Yaqu re-
bellion, in spite of the depletion o
garrisons all over Mexico for the
concentration of troops in Sonora.
Sonora is the homeland of the pres
ent elements in power in Mexico.
From Sonora in 1914 was initiated
the successful advance on the capi-
tai under General Obregon which cul-
minated in the flight of the usurper,
Victoriano Huerta. Here, since Cen
eral Obregin retired from the presi-
dency two years ago, have been in
augurated vast development schemes
in the valleys of the Yaqui and Mayo
rivers involving tho investment of
many million pesos.

these undertakings will suffer harm,
come what will in Mexico. Former
President Obregon is. credited with
exceptional sagacity and foresight.
AT the height of his military power
he adhered rigidEy to two basic prin-
ciples of strategy. He kept hisEar1ny
intact and chose his positions for of Z
fensives. Invariably he let the other
fellows garrison the cities and towns
and dissipate their energies and men
in efforts to govern the country. NOW,
with half Of the federal army in So-
nora, it is believed, in the event Of
unforeseen uprisings elsewhere in the
country. he will be in position to
make or dictate terms or take the
offensive against any and sall forces
Of the reaction. as it is called.
