OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, June 29. = If President Hoover selects Carl Williams to lead the Federal Farm Board, its destinies will be directed by man whose work has been synonymous with farm reliel movements 20 years.
 To this practical idealist, who was trained as newspaper man and later pioneered many of the southwest's leading cooperative marketing movements, is ascribed a dynamic desire for action in agri- cultural affairs Even cursory check-up of his life history tends to prove it.
 MT. Williams multifarious execu~ tive posts, both regional and na- tional, have kept him in intimate contact with the livestock grower, the small farmer and the cotton lmagnate.
 Since he organized the Oklahoma Cotton Growers Association, the first large scale cooperative cotton marketing business in America, his services have been sought so fre- quently that pecuniary gain long ago lost it's appeal.
 Colorado was the scene of his first efforts to aid the farmer. He quit newspaper career that began in Michigan to edit a magazine called "The Scientific Farmer" It was influential in causing farmers of that State to call a dry farming congress.
 In 1900 he became i'll and doctors told him he had three months to live. After a successful operation and more than two years recupera- tion, however, he was in Tulsa to help stage another dry farming congress. Next he became editor of the Oklahoma Farmer -Stockman, which is read by thousands of farmers.

Thar Of Mdrgaret Also Disciplined tor "T1en1peran1ent"
Her Stormy Career Vith

' IKE all Geniuses, especially those of the nervous, sclf-centered and
 tempcramcntaI school, Jeanne Eagels, the actress, had a series of as tonahing parallels through her life and death.
 Miss EagcIs' sudden end from an overdose of a sleeping drug served to reveal and emphasize these curious co. inCidCHceS between events in her career. and those of other famous stars made and eventually hrokcn-hy the cruel. glttering tjukle that is Broadway.
 Her tragic end, for one thing, had many poiN,s of similarity to the even more appalling doom which overlook Margaret Lawrence, also beautiful, also on the stage, also addicted to drinking more than was good for her health or her career.
 Miss Lawrence was slain, after what appeared to have been gin orgy, in her fashionably located N Y. City pent- house by Louis Bcnnison, middle-aged, toupcd actor, who had been her sweet heart and of whom she was trying to rid herself. He then committed suicide.
 Of course, the method of Miss Ea@els' death was not SC pitifully de plorable as Miss LaWrences. But the blonde star of Rain" came to the end of her tcther in a manner that shocked her many friends,
 Although the fact escaped the atten ton of every New York newspaper at the time, the rc1l cause of Miss Eagels' death was-heroin! It was at first an nounced that alcoholic psychosis," euphemism for delirium tremens, was responsible. Then it was said that chloral hydrate, a powerful solution of chlorin in alcohol and water and the basis of the gangster's old-time knock out drops," had killed her.
 But Prof Alexander Gettler, New Yorl, City Toxlcologist, following the autopsy, told reporter for this maga- zine that he had found heroin crystals in Miss E&gelS' brain.
 Included in her life's more spectacu, lar items was her marriage to "Ted'' Coy, the remarkable Yale football player Divorced by her on charge of cruelty, Coy remarked
 A remarkable fact was dug up about Miss Eagels' and Miss Lawrence's chcckered romanccs when curious peo'

 also, had been punished by the Actors Equity Association for missing per formances in 'PosScsson,' comedy in which her acting had been highly praised. Like Jeanne, she offered "iil- ness" as an excuse, but it wa.s known that she had been drinking heavily. Her suspension was climaXed by her death at the hands of Bennison-a red finis to a life that had been marked by two divorccs. the first from OrSon Mum, the patent attorney; the second from Eddnger Coy's double.
 Still another first actress" of beauty, charm. magnetism, culture and popularity is Marjorie Rambeau, whose Broadway career was marred by he1 appearance at one of her first nights, "The Road Together" so confused that the curtain had to be rung down
 She went to the Pacific Coast. where she became a widely beloved star. But she has not returned to Broadway the Broadway that makes and breaks its glittering luminaries so ptilessly In the general debace that it deals out to its spoiled darlings no tragedy surely was more heart-breaking than that of Jeanne Eagels.

 Neighbors claimed the ex-football star was "dcstitute,' but when re- porters found and interviewed him, he was living in comfortable if modest quarters In Coy's own words, " have enough to feed my wife, myself and our canary. We don't look starved. do wc?" The newspaper men agreed
 Coy's tribute to Jeanne Eagels was affecting. "She was a splendid woman and a great actress" he murmurcd, his eyes tcar-hlled. "It was difference in tcmperaments that led to our parting,
 Not Coy alone, but other men, found their temperaments out of ac- cord with Miss Eag2ls. She was once rumorrd engaged to Whitney Warren, Jr.. son of the famous architect. Nc- spite the fact that young Warren w&s seen constantly in her society, the boy sailed away to the Orient and became successful in the tea business.

THE TAKU' IS OUT

The Taku, High School annual went on sale Tuesday. New fea- lures have been added and the gen. eral makeup of the magazine prob ably makes it the best ever put out.
 The cover, finished in two shades of orange and blue, pictures a dog team going across the frozen snow toward an igloo, with the glorious sun brightening all the heavens, in the background. The motif idea, worked out in the pictures and stories, is Alaska, the Empire of the Future" The students sought to bring out the possibilities of our Territory as a future empire of great cities, enormous industries, and teeming millions.
 The backgrounds for the faculty and Senior panels. are clever as well as the grouping and decora- tions of the class groups. The Boys basketball pictures follow plan never before used here. The cut at the top of each page, showing two students drawing aside a cur tain to look out into a great city, carries out the motif idea.
 Literary contributions are espec- ially to be commended-the poems and stories, which are unusually fine writing for high school stu dents.
 Mrs. Engstrom was literary ad- visor and the staff includes: Edi- tor-in-C Chief, Roberta Fraser; As
