Editorial Comment
The American Farmer to Go Abroad
kansas City Starr


Definite arrangements have been made for
group Ct five hundred Americans to spend two
months in European countries this summer This
tour has been arranged by the American Farm
Bureau Federation. 1t is expected that actual
farmers will dominate the group with a represent
alive number from agricultural institutions, gov
eminent depar tments and the agricultural press.
The purpose Of the trip will be to study meth IDS
of production, processing and marketing If agri-
cultural commodities. Careful consideration of the
organization and work Of cooperative organizations
will be given.
The American farmers will be interested in the
use Of labor, power and machinery. They will
be attracted by the beauty Of the European farm
steads, the intensive use of both artificial and
natural manures, the absence OF waste, the ire
mendous amount of hand labor, the large yields
OF crops and the important place given to livestock
They will undoubtedly observe the diversified
methods in ordinary farm practices the large per-
centage of land devoted the production of grasses
and legumes They will be impressed with the
almost universal absence Ct dirt roads, the frugal
methods employed in everyday life. They will note
the limited of telephones automobiles and labor
saving devices which considered necessities at
hcme, but Injuries abroad. II they inquire care
fully they will find that the European farmer is
not burdened with debt, that he does nat make an
investment in land in livestock without a con.
siderable If not an entire equity in his holdings.
They will also note that much more farm work is
d2ne by women and children. that their hours are
longer and that their earnings as workmen are
meager.
They will find that there is a distinct differen-
tiation between land proprietcrs and farm labor in
Great Britain. They will discover that many CT the
largest farmers not landowners, but tenants
The conditions of land tenure are such as to give
them the same interest in maintenance of soil
fertility, improvement in buildings and grounds and
in community life the landowner has at home
In Continental Europe entirely different situation
will be found. The farms will be smaller, r-
regular in shape and usually titled by the owner
and his family, who live in villages rather than on
the land.
Those who take this trip will return with much
greater respect for the opportunities to get ahead
in farming at home than abroad. They will ap-
preciate the many advantages which they have.
They will profit materially by adopting those prac-
tees in production and in marketing which are
evidently more efficient. This tour should be of
tremendous benefit to all whc are able to accompany
the party to foreign lands.

CAPITOL SHOW
BRINGS GALES
OF LAUGHTER !. j Il |
.Oohens and Kellys' One of
Funniest Seen Here in
Many Months

The way the spectators at the per-
Torrance at the Capitol theatre last
night behaved was something fright
full.
1.-THE Cohens and Kellys" had them
bowling with joy one moment as it's
delicious comedy reigned, then when
drama and pathos followed the house
was perfectly silent, only to be
plunged into laughter again when an
other comedy bit was flashed on the
screen.
As the fiery Irish policeman, Char
lie Murray has given one of the per-
formances of rare skill for which he
is noted. Comedy and not little real
acting fall to him during, the picture.
Harry Pollard, the director, was
careful that the picture should at
no time approach slap stick and there
is no hint of that type Of humor.
Rather the story is serious heart
drama with goodly dose of comedy
thrown in by the clever acting and
the intelligent directing-so much
comedy, in fact, that the picture is
labeled as a comedy-drama.
Vera Gordon first become promin-
ent because of her role in "Humor-
esque." That was an exceedingly
dramatic part. "The Cohens and
kellys" proves that she is also gifted
with the ability to tinge her acting
with subtle comedy touches.
An exceptionally appealing father
10 played by Gearge Sidney, while
Kate Price does. her best comedy work
as the wife of Murray.
Two very appealing newcomers
have the romantic leads in the pic
ture. They are Jason Robards, and
Olive Hasbrouck.
The story is clever. It is Aaron
Hoffman's stage play transported to
the screen. An Irish and Jewish FAM
lily are neighbors in the East side
of New York City. They have never
had money. Beneath all their quar-
rels they are the staunchest Of
friends. Then, without warning, the
Jewish family inherits million dol
lars and moves to Park Avenue. street
of aristocrats.
That's where the fun begins and
IL would detract from the pleasure
OF witnessing the picture to tell the
whole plot. The story can't be beat
and the cast was we'll chosen.
Besides those already mentioned,
Nat Carr, Bobby Gordon and Mickey
Bennett have prominent and we'll
acted roles.

Keep the Cows Smiling

"Things aren't what they used to be"-not even
COWS!
Tell this one to the man who once was "a hired
hand"
Better yet, get him to bark back to the old days
himself Get him started. Let him tell CT the frost
bitten, gray mornings when, lantern in hand, he
walked through the drifts to the barn, fed the
stock, MIXED the cows, threw down hay, waterel
the horses and cleaned out stables before breakfast
He'll tell you Of mornings when the ice in the
wash basin had to be broken with hatchet of the
drifts that to his shoulders, Of the stock
hudded together for warmth in the barn.
Then you tell him this one!
Down in Tennessee certain ambitious and pro-
gressive farmer has installed radio in his cow
stable and his cows have individual drinking cups.
sThe herd must be kept cheerful if they produce
their full quota Of milk" says he.
Dance music brings down the tactical fluid in more
copious measure than soprano or tenor ballads, he
has discovered.
Before the farmer bought his cows the radio they
had to get along as best they could with phono-
graph.
The hired man of the years ago will scsff at this
tale, Ct course. y, -
But, seriously, is it so absurd? The individual
drinking cups sound only reasonable when we read
OF herds swept by various diseases. Plain sanitary
precautions for cattle do not sound 50 much more
absurd than plain sanitary precautions for humans.
As for the dulcet strains waited on the ether,
haven't we humans been warned for decades not to
eat when worried angry? Haven't we been told
that the happy dining table is the greatest
preventive of illness?
Isn't it reasonable to assume, then, that enter
tanned cows will do their duty cheerfully and
copiously than neglected ones?

Praise for the Elapper

Glad news, girls! You've made "a hit with at least
one British writer. Here is what he says Of the
American flappcr:
Jcrhe American flapper is almost invariably pretty
and quite invariably smart. Even if her parents
are not well off, she is always well dressed, for
clothes, like everything else in America, be
bought the installment system, and many man
is paying certain every week his daugh-
ter may be turned out well other girls.
She is very self possessed young person, be
cause from her earliest years she has been put
ueon pinnacle, first by her parents and then by
all The young men she has ever met. But she is
not in the least prig because she is full of the
zcst Of life and of a simple delight in the mere
pleasure of existence
1.-The American attitude toward womanhood is
one Of almost exaggerated chivary The American
youth who goes [. call girl almost invariably
carries some little gift with him, and when his
business summons him to far parts ce the country
he rings her up the telephone every evening.
And because he idozes her rather after the man
ner Of Sir Walter Scotts heroes, she feels a
marvellous freedom to do exactly what she wants.
MANY of the smartest-looking American girls
have been brought up to do the h0usewcrk and
most of them can cook and make their own dresses.
They have clever rather than deep, minds, and
their characters often Uniformed because life has
been smoothed for them. But they are full Of
pluck and kind cf eager interest in their surround
ings, and you such thing as an Amer
lean girl who is bored with existence.
"America is, at once the most material and the
most idealistc Of nations-and American girls in
their outlook upon the universe are a real product
of their country. And therefore, they not easy
to understand they appear to be at first sight.
The stylish flapper wandering along Fifth Avenue
as though the world belonged to her-as indeed
the American world does-is probably much more
anxious to improve her mind than you would ever
suppose"
Those the words, girls his very words. Now
what do you think of that!
