Saturdays Children" Corinne Crit
fith's late First National picture, which

be a distinct contrast to THE Divine
Lady" and to "Outcast."
The role of Bobby Halvey in "Satur-
days Children" is described as an in
innate study of a twentieth century
working girl of the native middle class,
who has ultra-modern ideas on the sub
ject of matrimony. Bobby determines
to convert her husband into lover, and
her manner Of bringing about this re-
lationship forms an unusual story quite
apart from the common run Of pictures.
This play by Maxwell Anderson, au-
thor of Outside Looking In" THE
White Desert" and co-author of What
Price Glory?" was first produced at the
Booth Theater, New York, in 1927. 1t
won the Pulitzer prize as the best play

loves Norma, but refuses to play her
game of insincerity. Suddenly Norma,
played by Mary Pickford, realizes that

MohaIl Area Will
Be Drilled for Oil
Sinclair Subsidiary Agrees to
Explore II $4,000 Acres
Arc Blocked OFT

Mohall. N. D., Jan. 2.-(P)-The
Mohall area, where natural gas has
long been in evidence. seems de-
finitely assured to be explored for oil
during 1929. The Transcontinental
OIL Co.. Of Tulsa, Okla. q subsidiary
OF the Sinclair Oh company, has been
interested In the proposal to conduct
drilling explorations.
A. M. Fruh Of Minot. while here
exhibited letters and correspondence
with the company. in which 1t agrees
to drill the Mohall structure as soon
as $4,000 acres in leases are blocked.
At meeting Of the local Lions
club, 1t was voted TO assist Mr.. Fruh
in obtaining the leases. and p. M
Clark. George I. Rodsater, L. r. Prins
and A. H. Trutna were named to CO.
operate with him.
One obstacle in the way of securing
the leases Is that title to some Of the
land in the so-called Mohall anticline
structure Is held by the Bank o1
North Dakota, and under existing
laws 1t has no right to lease mineral
or oil rights on state lands. New
legislation to make possible the leas-
ing of such land may be sought Of the
Legislature.

L0WDEN CONVINCED
FARM RELIEF MUST
USE EXTRA SESSION
Definitely Opposes Attempts to
Tinker With Agriculture in
Present Congress

Chicago, Jan. 2.-(R)-Frank O.
Lowden has advised the farmers ia
await the Inauguration Of President
elect Herebeyt Hoover before pressing
their demands for some form Of asri-
cultural relief.
The former governor Of Illinois sug-
gested that the question be held IN
abeyance until after Mr.. Hoover takes
office because he is convinced that
what legislation. II any, congress
deems necessary should be acted upon
at the special session proposed BY the
presidenf-elect.
Before departing yesterday for 4
four months tour Of Italy. Egypt. the
Holy Land, and Greece, Mr.. Lowdeu
quite definitely opposed any attempts
to tinker with the farm problem dur
ing the present congress.
Undoubtedly congress will wish
freely to consult With the president n
legislatton is being shaped" he said
II understand that Z special session
Is to be called.
THAT, I think. would b the proper
time for action upon this important
question.
"As Mr.. Hoover viii have the re-
sponsihility Of administering Whist
ever laws may be enacted. It appear
to mo that the wise course at present
Is to await the Inauguration Of th(
new administration"
He urged the farmers and friends
Of agriculture to support Mr.. Hoover
and lend their support In making hil
program effective. And Mr.. Hoover
he recalled, advocated formation Of /
stabiltxation corporation with ubera
advances from the government"
