KING ALPHONSO
to see how his words were reg
istering, our Madrid ambassador
Of good will vigorously bobbed
his head up and down. Excel
lent, | couldn't do a better job
myself" was the way would
interpret the Hammond musings.
Even Senator Fess, absorbing
Coolidge speech, could hardly be
more consistently approving.
AS to the Kings speech it
was impromptu, or at least it
sounded that way. Alphonso
paid a pretty tribute to Ameri-
cans and the inventive genius
which made it possible for him
to address audiences in an alien
country. He reminds, with a
smile, that it was Queen Isa-
beIla's generosity. to Columbus
which made the glories of the
United States possible and then
invited European visitors to
pay his country a call.
Coming up closer to the mi
crophone, the King put in
boost for Spain's good roads.
He grinned as he said he has
been driving cars for rs years
without an accident-well, ex-
cept one or two minor ones.
That he considers a tribute to
good roads, ash has been eau
toned often for stepping on the
gas. He wound up with brief
plea for world peace.
I thought His Majesty was
frequently cropping for words,
and some of his talk was repe-
titious, but nothing can detract
from the fact that it is
creditable achievement for
Movietone. Certainly the thea
ter audience gets a strikingly
graphic closeup of how King
really looks and talks and, in
this case, an impression that
here is a man born to the
crown and ermine who could
be the life of the party with
out .lalf trying. He speaks with
only aslight accent.
For his screen talk the King
choose a strikingly democratic
dress. A double-breasted suit
with a white handkerchief pro-
truding from the shoulder
pocket; a soft collar, fastened
with a bar pin and four-in-
hand cravat. On his left wrist
a sort of snake bracelet.
All in all, it appeared that
King Alphonso looked upon his
debut in the talking movies as
a bit of a lark. He was novice
enough to be awkwardly nat
ural and quite successful in pro-
jecting a cordial personality to
an interested audience. At the
finish he received a booming
applique such as a Hoover might
envy.

JAN NINGS TO
MAKE THREE

Syndicate. Incl
HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 17.-If you
are an Emil Jannings fan don't
be too worried about the stories
that the ta1kieS have practically
put Emil out Of business. He is
an old established firm and too
great pantomimist to be af-
fected by the introduction OF do
logue into the films At least,
this is what they say at Para
mount. And the statement is
backed up By the fact that EmiPs
contract lasts until next October.
Between now and then he Is to
make three photo plays. One Of
these is the airplane story upon
which he Is now working, A
second is to be Ellis Island.
When they get the story into
proper shooting shape. The third,
/ am told, is THE Concert" This
is the play that Leo Ditrichstein
starred in on the stage. The plan
is to try and secure the services
of Ernest Lubitsch as director.
Those who know say that jan
nings' real forte is co144edy. With
this vehicle, and Lubitsch az di-
rector, the great German would
surely give US all another sur
prise.
1t is not beyond possibility that
upon completion of the present
contract Emil may take pretty
long vacation. He has long held
an ambition to journey around
the world. And it is we'll known
that he is not without 'tempera-
ment." At present he is speaking
of this lengthy cruise. But by
October he may have changed his
mind Lots of things happen In
year.
The combination of Leatrice
Joy and Victor McLaglen seems
to have received three hearty
cheers from the Fox officials.
Leatrice has just completed one
picture with the husky English
man and has now been signed
to play opposite him in film
version of King of the Khyber
Rifles" John Ford. the gallant
Irishman, will direct.

MONTANA SHEEP
AID FARMERS
500 Line Distributes 1000
Head; Another Big Ship
ment Coming

The first shipment of s.,arling
ewes for points along the 500 line
were loaded in Montana last week
and distributed at North Dakota
points. Twelve cars totaling 5000
head made up the first shipment. r.
L. Aney, livestock agent Of the 500
Railway, who supervised the loading
reports the entire band to be the
finest lot of sheep in Montana.
A second shipment of $500 head
will be loaded the latter part of the
month to fill orders not completed
at the time Of the first shipment.
Reports from all points indicate un-
usual interest in sheep being shown
by local farmers. Shipments will
continue through the fall months and
E. F. johnson, general agricultural
agent of the 500 Line states that he
expects 10000 sheep to be placed
along the 500 his summer.
There are but few farms in North
Dakota that do not need a band Of
50 to 100 sheep to consume the feeds
that otherwise will be wasted and
profit by this additional yearly in
come. Hundreds Of farmers who
purchased small bands of sheep two
and three years ago praise the prof.
ect and feel deeply obligated to the
Agricultural Credit Corporation for
furnishing q means Of financing
their purchase Of these bands. BY
taking advantage Of the two years
allowed by the corporation in which
to pay for sheep purchased, the wool
clip alone will take care Of paying
the original cost price of the band.
Orders for over 1000 head were
taken At 500 points the past ten
days, and all local groups are urged
to get their orders placed early to
avoid being disappointed later.
The first shipment Of twelve cars
brought in this year by the Soc
were consigned to Rolette, Kermit,
Crosby, Minot, Carpio, Kenmare,
fordville. Lankin, N. D., and
March, MINI. Local secretaries at
each point are largely responsible
for pooling orders and aiding in dis
tributing the sheep on arrival.

GOOD CROP Is
SEEN BY HAW
N. p. Agricultural Agent Gives
Views After Extensive
Regional Survey

The northwest is headed for a
good crop. John w. Haw. director of
the department Of agricultural de-
velopment of the Northern Pacific.
said last night. following a trip of
inspection over the lines Of that rail-
road.
Mr.. Haw said that crop stimulat-
ing weather in the last month has
resulted in sharp improvement in
agricultural conditions.
"Small grain and forage crop con-
ditions in Minnesota, North and
South Dakota and Montana today
testify to the wonderful recuperative
powers Of nature and how far afield
one can 20 in making crop esti-
mates early in the season." Mr.. Haw
said. ION June Is the most op-
timistic observers were predicting q
crop ranging from poor to fair and
considerably below the ten-year av-
erage. But in the last half Of June
and the first two weeks in July in
termittent rains in generous amounts
watered all of the country from the
Rocky Mountains to the Great Lakes.
Cool. cloudy weather prevailed over
the entire area. and every form Of
vegetable life came forward by leaps
and bounds.
Good Crop in Sight
To-day any casual observer can
see that the northwest is headed for
a good crop. A fair crop in some
regions, an excellent crop in others,
but generally speaking a good crop
up to average or better, given fair
weather conditions in the remainder
Of July and early August. This years
crop cannot be of bumper proper
tions; maximum yields were shut out
by the late May and early June
drouth. and close examinations in
grain fields fro: central Montana
east disclose rather thin stand
and a ragged appearance due to un-
even termination.
RYE will be q poor crop almost
everywhere.
very early sown grain will in
most sections produce Disappointing
yields. That sown somewhat later
looks good, and late seeded coarse
grains and flax presen great prom
ise. but will be subjected to the usual
weather vicissitudes of late summer,
and the final outcome is now q mat
ter Of pure conjecture.
State Corn Good
Speaking in very general terms.
conditions in western and central
Montana are good to excellent. east
ern Montana and North and South
Dakota fair to good, central North
Dakota very good, northeastern
North Dakota excellent, southeastern
North Dakota fair. Minnesota good
and South Dakota poor to fair. It
IS doubtful if the northwest spring
wheat crop equals last years total,
but with reasonable freedom from
rust and hot weather damage the
crop should be well above average.
"There is promise Of plenty Of hay
and forage crops for wintering live
stock in most sections, and with
pastures rejuvenated bv recent rains
the outlook for carrying livestock is
favorable"
