LeMaSurier will take with him a
portable radio receiver with which he
will be able to hear himself talk and
to hear anyone else who talks e

program.
If the air is clear and he can see
far enough he will attempt to give
his listeners a long distance descrip-
ton Of Valley City, west of Fargo.

Preliminary tests of the apparatus

ELTINGE

The peculiar advantages Of the
moving picture ver the stage arc
brought out strikingly in The Letter."
in which the famous stage and screen
star. Jeanne Eagels. has the leading
role, at the Eltinge today and Thurs
day.
The stage with its limitations of
scene can usually do no more than
suggest the surrounding atmosphere.
Motion pictures actually show it.
There are many colorful sets in
The Letter." all of them presenting
the usual life Of Singapore and the
Orient. which will be actually seer in
the film version of this w. Somerset
Vaughan success. These sets include
a full-sized bungalow located in the
heart OF a rubber plantation, a court
room holding zoe persons. a Chinese
gambling house, the homes and offices
of various colonial settlers, and scenes
OF brooding jungle and bustling street
which the stage could not attempt to
show. Throughout the picture the
jungle setting is emphasized.
Miss Eagels has O. p. Heggic, Her
bert Marshall and Reginald Owen as
featured members of her supporting
cast, all of whom we're recruited from
the stage. Because of this, the all
talking version, as it will be presented
at the Eltinge theatre. is certain to be
received by local filmgoers with en-
thusiaSm.

Surface soil moisture has been suf-

but reserve moisture is reported as
deficient in the western and north

fell here during the past two weeks.
Freezing temperatures during virtu-
ally every night Of this period have
apparently caused little damage to
crop growth other than to give 1t a
temporary set back.
Seeding of both durum and other
wheat was completed by May 10, the
same date as was reported for last
year. Oats and barley seeding vas
completed by May Is and l8. re-

A considerable portion of the flax

Potato planting is getting under way
in the Red River valley and the
planting Of a greatly increased sugar
beet acreage is we'll along. Rye stands
arc looking fine in the eastern Sec

the important rye districts, due to n

good. though cattle are showing the
effects Of a long period Of feeding.
Although the number Of sows far
