At DRAKE

DIES MONIES, Iowa, April u.s.
More than $500 track and field
athletes gathered here today for
the twenty-first annual Drake re-
lay carnival. Preliminaries In
nearly every event were on today's
program with the finals scheduled
for tomorrow.
Early indications, gathered from
the Kansas University relays last

many shattered records before the
meet is over.
The climax Of tomorrow's finals
is looked for in the 1O0-yard dash,

lower distribution cost to truck operators
than any other truck in the field today.
Increasing Revenue
The faster the run, the greater the profit
particularly in these days of keen COMPETE
ton. Speed Wagons bring to trucking the
speed and agility of a roadster. They speed
up time schedules. Increase the number of
stops and starts for sales, in a given space
of time. Because of their speed they make
it possible for you to secure and hold addi-
tional business in larger territory. This
results in increased business and greater
revenue.
Consider, too, this important factor in in
creasing revenue: Your trucks are moving
bilboards advertising your business to the
community. Their appearance says thou-
sands of people every day, "A frst-class
business" or "A second class business"

LOtU Distribution Cost

Thousands of truck-wise operators have
learned in the costly school of experience,
that low distribution cost is the result of
moderate first cost of trucks; economical
operation; and low depreciation because of
long life. Many trucks offer one, some
even two, of these low cost factors. How
ever, a REQ Speed Wagon is the one truck
that fulfills all of these requirements.
Speed Wagon prices are moderate-lower
even than the price of many short-lived,
less economical trucks. Any REQ dealer
will be glad to furnish you with facts and
figures on their low operating cost.
The long life of REQ Speed Wagons is a
matter of official record. Scores show mile
ages of, 100000 miles or more. Hundreds
have passed the 100, OO0-mile mark. Thou
sands of Speed Wagons are already on
their way to even higher records"

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MoLLIE MERRICK.

Jack Gilbert starts to work on his
gangster picture right away, with an
excellent cast and all the parsley and
ballyhoo which this gentleman gets.
If he makes good in 1t, the company
may draw its breath more freely in
1881. If it's a dud. then perhaps the
next move will be to buy out this one
time Knockout and set him free to roam
the world in civilian guise or go to
work for another company.
Buying out Jack Gilbert isn't the
cinch one might think, or 1t would have
happened long, long ago. He gets his
half million year whether or not he
makes the picture, and there are mil
lions involved in releasing him.
A couple of ladies who have known
him didn't rate him this high, but when
pictures were matter Of silence he
HINGED it in his way.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf. December 2
(NA.N.A).-It's a long time since
Harry Carey, Edwina Booth, Director
Van Dyke and the rest of large COM
pany took of for Africa to make
Trader Horn," the big sensation of the
year.
Lots of other pictures have been made
IN the meantime, good score of them
On the lot where the Trader Horn"
company came hcme to glory and ex-
citement galore.
Van Dyke gave a lot of very thrilling
talks-and. by the way, an excellent
lecturer and orator was lost to the
world when this lad went directing pic
tures-and Edwina Booth had her
touch Of African sun, her lawsuit, her
publicity and her grief over the stay in
the jungle.
But Trader Horn hasn't been re-
7leased. Now the rumor comes that so
1nany thrilling episodes have been incor-
Iporated into African pictures released
since Trader Horn" was made that the
studio finds it necessary to speed this
*snow I'D to the correct tempo.
The laughing tale spreads, evenly and
swiftly as q circle in water, that Trader
Horn" is being faxed up" for the trade.
An incident Of lion killing native
boy, shown in a travelogue of lats, has
.proven box-ofice, although it is pal
pably faxed. In fact, do not think
the company releasing the picture makes
any claims to the con rary. The boy
was killed on the trip, but since the
men at the cameras were human be-
4 ines, not fien&s in human guiSe. they
were too Mortified to train cameras on
4 this hideous occurrence. But we have
few good old friendly lions around
here who could be inducsd to do the
graveyard scene from Hamlet" for q
bit of steak, and they furnished the
right degree Of horror for the travel
film.
Now I understand Trader Horn" is
to get its big scene of the sort. feel
it's too bad pictures must do these
things. The travelogue Of which
spoke originally, Africa Speaks, is the
finest thing of its kind I've ever seen,
It would have been just as flne-in
fact, even finer-without the incident
Of the boys killing.
And Trader Horn" was probably
more convincing in the state in which
Director Van Dyke saw fit to bring it
out of Africa.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1s.-Reactions
in foreign markets gave wheat an
unevenly higher opening on the
Board of Trade today. Liverpool
rose sharply on short covering and
the reluctance Of sellers TO sell at
the extremely low prices.
There was little trading in De-
cember on new May, traders avoid
ing these months and trading in
July, as that is the only month not
artifcialiy supported and the most
likely to follow general news. Corn
rose firmly with wheat and oats
we're up with the major grains.
Liverpool Lower
At the opening wheat was I'M
changed to IL cents higher, the
former for December and the latter
for July; corn was u to q cent
higher, and oats were u to ss cent
higher. Provisions we're about
steady.
Liverpool opened sharply lower
than expected but rallied strongly
to stand u to 1sc higher at mid
afternoon. Buenos Aires started
to INC higher. Enormous losses
have been sustained by those who
sold at Chicago and bought at Win
nipeg recently believing that prices
at the latter market were too low.
The closing Of these spreads
Tuesday is believed to have been
the principal factor in the break,
though the uncertainty of the gov
eminent action to sustain the mar

Corn at Discount

Wild Scenes at winnipeg
Referendum Seen

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Plans
for the senate agriculture commit
tee meeting summoned by Chairman
McNary for next Monday appeared
today to envisage an informal farm
ers' referendum on the govern
ment's wheat buying program.
Chairman Legge of the federal
farm board, it is understood, plans
next Monday to present to leaders
of the three great farmers organ
izationS, the buying program of the
Grain Sterilization Corporation.
More than 100000 bushels of
wheat already have been purchased
and the administration is prepared
to give Legge authority and funds
for practically unlimited buying.
L. j. Tabor, master of the Ma
tional Grange; G. E. Huff, of the
Farmers Union, and S. H. Thomp-
son, of the American Farm Bureau,
will be urged after Legge's state
ment to align their organizations
behind the administration efforts
to prevent change at this time in
the agriculture marketing act.
The administration idea is that
this unprecedented peace time wheat
operation with government funds
should be given an opportunity to
prove or disprove its economic
value before further change is made
in the act
