HARVEST NOTES

Harvest is on in earnest and
considerable combine-harvested
grain is being marketed. Yields
it is believed are holding up to
expectations. Combined harvesters
are still being assembled and
hauled out. About 35 have been
sold by local dealers. Ideal har-
vest weather prevails, but rain
threatens today. Very little trou-
BILE is experienced on account of
damp grain. Two local (Montana-
Dakota and Occident) elevators
have moisture testing outfits.

OLDS CO. EXPANDING
TO MEET new DEMANDS

MICH, Aug. H.
Contracts have been let for build
ings in a $1,000, 900 Oldsmobile ex-
pansion program. Work will be
rushed, according to l. J.. Reuter-,
president and general manager of
Odds Motor Works, so that Odds
mobile production can be increas-
ed by the first of the year.
An increase in net sales of SILL
SOC, 600 last year, followed by still
greater sales records, and with
business mounting to new high
levels have made this large expan-
sion advisable, officials report.
Retail domestic and export sales
for the fiscal year ending August
1, show, up to July 20, a record
above any previous fiscal year in
the history of the company, say
officials.
This large expenditure by Odds
mobile for new buildings and
equipment to keep pace with it's
rapidly expanding business is an
other evidence of the continued
growth of the General Motors Cor
poration, of which Oldsmobile is
a division General Motors recent
ly announced a mountaineering
sales period during the first half
of this year.
The new buildings will be erect
ed on the 76-acre Oldsmobile plot
in Lansing. They will increase
the total floor space by 292, 900
square feet, or practically one
third of the floor area now used
in making Oldsmobile motors,
chassis units and for assembly.
The total floor space, including
the body plant, will be 1,6SS,092
square feet.
The contracts already awarded
are for buildings which will double
the motor plant and enlarge other
manufacturing facilities to permit
increased production.
Due to the substantial increase
in sales of Oldsmobiles in the ex-
port field, the entire facilities now
used for both domestic and x
port shipping will be devoted ex-
clusively to export business. The
present docks will be enclosed and
additional facilities for the box
ing of export shipments will be
installed.
The expansion program also
calls for additions to the power
plant facilities to meet heavier re-
quirements imposed by the addi-
tional buildings and the power 1
needs of more machinery and en-
arged manufacturing schedules.
'The recent history of Oldsmo-
Tile has been a steady, consistent
Increase in business" said d. S.
vice president and general C
ales manager of Oldsmobile COM b
nenting on the 8 5000, 900 expendi- n
.ure. "By closely adhering to a o
progressive policy Oldsmobile has 7
consistently gained in public pre- a
ference. t
LESS than four years ago all +

Hard Knocks

There is. suppose, says
Kay Johnson, with "A Free Soul"
at the Belasco next week, in dis
Cussing recently the appeal that
the theater has to those who fol.
low its fortunes, "a mysterious
sympathy born in the blood and
heart of those who contribute
their lives to the theater that
makes them do so. 1t is as ir.
resistible as the spirit that sent
the pioneers wandering over the
face of the earth making new
discoveries. and incidentally max.
ing new homes.
The things that. count in all
our lives are the things that we
are predestined to love. / have
always loved the theater. All its
struggling penalties, it's discom-
forts. its rough disillusions, its
crude awakenings, deepened the
ties of affection. In those early
years when the most violent
emotions of unadulterated melo.
drama seemed to me like great
moments in my artistic endeavor, /
believed in them so loyalty that 1
look back on them now with the
same degree of tender memory
with which we recall the thrills
Of our first romance. No pre-
arranged parental discretion can
prevent the appeal of the theater
in those who are born to obey its

The girl who embarks on a
stage career she continued,
must he prepared to suffer many
disappointments, to undergo many
hardships, and work ceaselessly.
II suppose every girl is born
with the idea that stage career

become convinced that this is
true.

Then Miss La Rue
FOrsWOre Her
Dancing

IT do not believe in singing
songs without value" says Miss
Grace La Rue, the songstress
coming this week to B. F. Keith's
Theater. "There are many fine
American songs which contain
real ideas. Most of the songs
which l sing have heart inter.
est with q little love theme.
"I have studied music for years.
And-on the @. Tt even COM
pose occasionally.
"At one time 1t was my ambi-
ton to sing in grand opera and
I went to Europe between theatri-
cal seasons to get a training. The
idea of serious music has always
been in my mind. But in vaude-
vile my principal ambition Is to
tell the audience something rather
than show off a well-trained
voice. The characterization is the
real thing, not the vocal method"
Miss La Rue has been
comedienne, a light opera singer,
an actress of serious roles, a con-
cert singer. and a vaudeville head
liner. She started her stage
career when 10 years old, appear
ing in company with Miss Julia
Marlowe. Her first real success
was gained as a dancer.
while I'm proud to be able to
dance" she said, 1T did not ap.
peal to me as life work. Sing
ing seemed much more dignified
and worth while. SO while 1 was
dancing 1 studied singing. But 1
found that whenever would sing
in public the critics would say
Miss La Rue's singing is not bad.
but why doesn't she dance more?'
My dancing seemed to haunt me
wherever I went, so I decided
that the only way to get ahead
was to go to London where was
not known. and see if l was right
or the critics.
"The English had never seen
me dance so they didn't expect
me to do it. Instead. 1 just sang.
