"WHY GIRLS GO BACK
 HOME" AT LIBERTY

From the obscurity and petit ness of Winesville. to the fame and luxury of Broadway-and back again. That is the path that Patsy Ruth Miller as Marie Dow ney, takes in Warner Bros pro- duction Why Girls Go Back Home" at the Liberty Sunday.
 Marie Downey is simple little small-town girl upstate in New York. content with the attentions of John Ross. played by George O'Hara. and looking forward to a simple life of marriage and quiet domesticity. Then one night, Cllf- ford Dudley, (played by Cllve Brook, star of a big New York production. trying out a play in the sticks" gratifies his vanity by playing a very passionate love scene from the stage to her.
 She greenly takes his attentions seriously. believes herself en. gagged to him, and, with visions of a stage career in the great city, follows the troupe to New York.
 She is befriended by the sophis- ticated Sally Short, (played by Myrna Loy), is tilted with un- necessary cruelty by Dudley, who thinks only of his reputation as a matinee idol, and obtains work through Sally in a revue. From this point on a good story is de- veloped.

Sharp Early Setback Caused by

BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, July flowing largely

looked for, wheat prices underwent a
sharp early setback today. Besides,
field advices from the Northwest con-
tinued to indicate only limited dam

to rally. Corn developed firmness,
starting unchanged to q off. sageed a
little more. and then scored gains.
Oats were easier. Provisions held
steady.
With official estimates pointing to
~ ,000,000 bushels more Winter wheat
than was predicted a month ago and
10000, 900 bushels more Spring wheat
than last year, bears in wheat had a
big advantage today. The report as d
whole showed more wheat availab BILE
for the United States than in 1926.
Meanwhile weather in Spring crop

NEW YORK, July 12.-Bonds con
tinued to work higher today in quiet
trading. Buying was selective with

admitted to trading for the first time

of Government bonds at the present
high level. and this especially so with
regard to the Treasury issues. the
quotation for which was accounted
with the Liberties.
The real features were found in the
speculative list. Third Avenue adjust
ments made a new high on the pres
ent movement. while other local trac-
tons were doing nothing. The Dodge
Bros. 6s made further response to the
earnings statement for the half year
Bethlehem Steel obligations were in
brisk demand, rejecting the better
feeling in the steel industry and the
possibility that dividends on the COM
