THE POWER OF THE
MOVIES
By MISS SIGRID KARLSON

The following article has been sent
in TO the Producers News by Miss
Sigrid Karlon of Westby, who is in a
contest and who will submit the story
on moving pictures as her prize win
ner.
The motion picture industry is pow
erful and by making cleaner and bet
ter pictures they are increasing their
power year after year.
Their aim is to give the public
pleasure-a pleasure that lifts US hu-
mans above every care.
Their business is a great success.
If it had not been, there would not
have been a show hall in every village
as we'll as in the largset cities.
Every human Graves pleasure, more
or less.
When we sit down watching the
characters on the silver screen we are
forgetting all our worries.
We are made to feel as if we were
right with the characters on the
scene. At the same time we are re-
laxing our weary brain.
We love to see those familiar faces
of our favorite stars-those people
who are devoting their lives to make
ours more livable.
The things we are seeing looks real
to US, and we remember what we have
seen for days, sometimes months, ev-
en- years afterwards.
The impression of the movies are
strong, they possess a certain power
which words cannot express.
But the motion picture producers dc
not only mean to make pictures to
give us pleasure. They want them tC
be useful to US, and are spending both
money and time trying to make then
so. Their aim is high and noble
There is not one picture made now
which is not worth seeing.
! There is one more way in which
they could be made far more usefu
and in which the motion picture in
dustry would serve humanity, evel
more than the churches.
1t is: if the movies with their grea
power would help to get back to self
respect, those "fallen peOple"-mel
and women-who are existing in ev
cry place on earth. There is probabl,
not one in every hundred who reall,
is as bad as so-called "good" peopl
have them branded. Remember, ther
are always good people who ar
throwing the first stone. Sad enough
the so-called church people are no
any better. If one of them starts t

A eyes Man"
Mr.. Leon j. Ladner, M p, told
a good story against himself at a
recent banquet. He said:
II was married in Belgium and
the service was conducted in
French, While I understood French
when spoken slowly, the minister
spoke so fast that I was quite
unable to follow him.
you can understand therefore,
that I was in quandry when to
make the right response. However,
] thought to myself when the min
ister looks me in the eye and his
voice assumes the tone of an In
terrogation that will be my cue
to respond.
Presently the minister did what
l had expected.
Looking me straight in the eye,
he seemed to be asking me a ques-
tion.
$50, drawing myself to fun
height, I threw out my chest ana
said in loud voice, 'Oui.'
"The minister seemed surprised.
Then 1 heard slight tittering and I
began to realize I had blundered.

the question the minister had asked
was, in effect, is there any per-
son present who knows of any just
cause why this man should not take

The Vegetable Garden

Those vegetables adapted to mid
summer are now growing rapidly and
are making up for the delay caused
by the cold days of Spring Many
gardeners are already harvesting the
snap or string beans. Paintings of
this satisfactory vegetable may be
made frequently up to the middle of
August. Two,week intervals will as
sure an almost continuous supply.
Cultivation is an extremely impOr-
tant operation in the vegetable gar.
den. especially in those located in
heavy clay. Each heavy rain leaves
the soil in hard, almost baked con-
dition, decidedly unfavorable to
growth. There is a short period fol-
lowing each rain in which even the
most intraCtable Clays cultivate quite
easily. This occurs just as the soil
has lost enough moisture to be no
longer muddy and sticky. but still
damp. If taken at this stage, soil
may be cultivated comparatively easily
and left in a desirable condition.
A hard, unbroken surface, on the
other hand, has many objections. 1t
allows for faster evaporation of the
soil moisture, it prevents the free
movement of air into the soil. and
lastly it favors the termination OF
week seeds. A loose surface soil acts
as a mulch for conserving moisture,
and it is impossible for weeds to get
start in such environment.
Any garden of stable dimensions
should have as part of the equipment
a wheel hoe. which not only eXpedites
cultivation but makes it far easier for
the worker. Such tools are compare
lively inexpensive if purchased with.
out seed-sowing attachments. and will
more than justify their cost in their
effectiveness.
Tomato plants trained to stakes are
usually held to a single stem This
means that all side shoots must be
pinched out as they appear. When
the plant reaches the top Of the
stake or trellis it may be checked by
removing the growing tip Handled
in this manner each plant will yield
four or five clusters of nice fruits.
The total yield per plant is cut down
but may be offset by using more
plants.
Tomato plants benefit by regular
spraying with Bordeaux mixture or
any of the proprietary Bordeaux COM
pounds such as Pyrox and Bordo-Lead.
etc. Such treatment prevents attack
by leaf spot and other defoliating dis.
eases.
A small overhead watering outfit
would insure a successful vegetable
garden. Most of the vegetables re.
quire abundant water and are, in fact,
themselves largely composed of this
essential material.
