EARLY FLAX FIELDS
Doing WELL; FEAR
IS FELT FOR LATER
Rye Cut SO Far Is Thin in Stand
but With Good Fill; Little
Rust in Wheat
TOTAL HAIL DAMAGE LESS
Pastures Begin to Decline but
Cattle Still in Fair Shape;
Corn Does Fine

Crops in North Dakota have been
damaged in varying degree by the
high temperatures and hot winds
which prevailed during the past week
or two. reports Ben Kienholz, federal
crop statistician for North Dakota, in
. review of farm conditions just is
sued from Grand Forks.
Premature ripening of grain is re-
ported from throughout the state, al
though the greatest complaint comes
from the territory west of the Red
river valley where rainfall has been
somewhat deficient during the past
three weeks or more. Crops seeded
late and on spring blowing are gen.
orally very poor, and II dry, hot
weather continues, abandonment of
such fields is likely to be extensive.
Early flax fields are showing good
promise. as was true last year, but
late fields will require exceptionally
favorable conditions to reach matur-
ity and produce . crop. Corn has
made rapid growth as a result Of the
warm weather and condition has i'm
proved since July /. Potatoes quite
generally show a good appearance and
growth, though occasional stands lack
uniformity.
Reports to the statistician's office
indicate a rather general need of
moisture, with the central and south
central portions the driest, and the
north central and northeast best sup
piled with moisture.
Rye harvest has begun in the south
east and central districts, but the
crop quite generally shows a thin
stand, although the fill is good. Some
barley has been harvested in the ter
ritory around Jamestown.
Very little wheat rust is reported
from any part Of the state. An above
normal infection was noted in the
Darlington area, but the crop here is
now too far advanced to suffer any
material damage.
Hail damage to date is not as ex-
Sensive as last year, according to re-
hurters. Pastures and hay crops are
losing ground as a re .ult Of the dry
Weather, and second growth alfalfa
outside Of the valle..' Is decidedly
ehort.
Il Cattle and sheep r still il good
flesh, but some decline is likely unless
normal rainfall occurs and improves
the food supply.

Improvement of stockyards at

Growing With Bismarck

Since the coming Of the j. C. Penney company
to Bismarck, it has been our earnest endeavor to
keep pace with it's remarkable growth . as
attested to in it's $50 gain in population in the last
ten years. For some time past the space and facil-
tiles of our old location have been inadequate to
meet the ever-increasing demands made upon our
goods and service. Hence this new store, five
times the size Of the old, has become an absolute
necessity. We are prepared now to give the high
type of service to which this enterprising COM
munity is entitled /. plus, as always, honest
values based on sound quality as well as moderate
price. In short, genuine values are to be had here
every day, along with a consistent service that
interests itself in local affairs and deals with every
customer fairly, courteously and sympathetically.

STAGE PLAY

Frederick LonSdale's clever lines
and dramatic situations, which
made stage history, are blended
with the more spectacular possibil-
tiles of the screen in The Lady
of Scandal in which Metro
Goldwyn Mayer features Ruth
Chatterton.
The picture opens today at the
Palace.
The story is a smart drama of
ultra modern society, in which the
heroine, as an actress, upSetS
aristocratic society through an en-
gagement, love affair, and finally
a dramatic sacrifice.
Sidney Franklin, known for THE
Last of Mrs. Cheyney," wild Or
chids," The Actress, Duchess of
Buffalo," and other productions, di-
rected the new picture with a not
able cast which includes several
who played in The Last of Mrs.
Cheyney," also written by the Lon
don playwright.
Two members of the original
London stage cast, Mackenzie Ward
and Fred Kerr, appear in the
screen version, in which Miss

discuss with LumSden Hare, who
plays the role of title Englishmen,
the inability of people of different

The discussion reveals the fact
that people of all races may easily

that is a subject which viii Rogers
has well handled in his numerous
writings for the press cf the country.

owner of Texas who is urged by his
wife and son to make a trip to

chasing a cotton mill there. They

Of British peer.
Parental opposition resolves itself
into strategy, and she is asked to
remain in the home of the aristo-
cratic father, to accustom herself
to society. Instead, society ac-
customs itself to her, and it up
sets society considerably.
Then a real love affair dawns, but
finally she sacrifices her own hap
piness for that of woman who
needs her lover more than she does.

the spectacular bits of the new pic

Director
Has His Own
Formula
St. Clair Insists on All
Star Casts in Film
Comedies.

A LL-STAR casts are becoming
4 n more and more essential in the
production of screen comedies, ac-
cording to Director Nal st. Clair,
Paramount's directorial expert on
the lighter forms of entertainment.
st. Clair. who acted and directed
for Mack Sennett in the old days,
believes that more care should be
taken in casting comedy than seri-
Gus drama.
Every cog is important in the
comedy machine he explained. "a
melodramatic story usually is car
ried by two or three main crArac-
ters of proven ability, while the rest
Of the cast forms the atmosphere
or background. This is not so in
comedy, especially since the COM
ing of sound. Every character in
the latter is utilized for laughs, and
a bit Of clumsy work can ruin a
picture"
To prove his point, st. Clair re-
ferred to the cast of Dangerous
Nan McGrew," which he is direct
ing at the New York studio.
Helen Kane is a marvel of
course" he said, "but the addition
of such stage and screen stars as
Victor Moore, James Hall, Stuart
Erwin, Frank Morgan and Louise
Closer Hale has more than doubled
the number of laughs"
The director added that Mack
Sennett's old recipe for comedy,
pretty girls and ugly men in ri
diculous situations" had become
antiquated.
THE public has outgrown that"
he explained. "It wants first Of all
a good, gripping story, and seccn-
darby actors who have more than
beauty or ugliness to prove they are
comic.
Even in the old days, Mack SEN
nett did not hold rigidly to his own
theory. Looking back over the years
you will realize that his most up-
roarious films had all-star casts.
''T'he same thing applies to
Charles Chaplin's pictures. Although
his supporting actors are not usu-
ally well-known when they appear
with him for the first time, a great
many of them become stars shortly
thereafter"
