PICKING PRIZE
PLAYS NOW

Speaking of the Pulitzer Prize,
this is the time of the year
when the most popular sport on
Broadway is guessing which play
will receive this yearly award.
The prize, which amounts to
$1,000 in cash and a great deal
of honor and publicity in the
daily press, is given annually for
the original American play per
formed in New York which shall
best represent the educational
value and power of the stage"
It must be produced before April
/, which means that some one of
the forty-odd plays currently
being performed will receive the
award.
Among the dramas uneer con-
sideration, The Criminal Code, ;"
by Martin Flavin, seems to have
a better chance than either "The
Green Pastures" or The Last
Mile" The former was adapted
by Marc Connolly from Roark
Bradford's book "Ole Man Adam
and his Chilluns" and the latter
was dramatized by John Wexley
from a series Of magazine
articles written by a condemned
man in an Oklahoma prison.
Thus these two successes appear
to be disqualified on the ground
that they are not original plays.
Among the comedies mentioned
as possible recipients of the prize
are Brock Pemberton's production
of Strictly Dishonorable" by
Preston SturgeS; BelaSco's TITS a
Wise Child" by Laurence E. John
son, and June Moon" by Ring
Lardner and George S. Kaufman.
Pulitzer Prize winners include:
why Marry" 1918; Beyond the
Horizon" 1920; Miss Lulu Bett, !"
1921; Anna Christie" 1922;
"Icebound," 1928; Hell Bent Fer
Heaven" 1924; "They Knew
What They Wanted" 1925;
"Craig's Wife" 1926; I'm Abra-
hams Bosom" 1927; Strange
Interlude," 1928. and "Street
Scene" 1929, which is still run
ming after more than Is months.
Eugene O'Neill heads theS list of
authors with three winners to his
credit. in 1920, 1922 and 1923;
the others who have rung the
bell include Jesse Lynch Williams
in 1913; Zona Gale in 1921; Owen
Davis in 1923; Hatcher Hughes in
1924; Sidney Howard in 1925;
George Kelly in 1926; Paul Green

Recent Minnesota
Law Aids Market

st. Paul-Greater advantage of the
cooperative marketing laws of Min
nesota can be taken as a result of the
amendment to the Minnesota State
Constitution at the recent general
election, eliminating the double liza
bility of stockholders, the Farmers
Union Terminal Association says in
it's weekly agricultural review.
"The passage of this law was in
dorsed by cooperative marketing or
CARNATIONS of the state" the review
says. Minnesota had been the only
state imposing the double liability
rule on the stockholders of ordinary
corporations. The law did provide
and still provides for double liability
of banking and certain financial in
stitutions.
while cooperative marketing as
sociations have been made remark
able Roadway in Minnesota in recent
years, there were a considerable num-
Der of people, particularly farmers,
who hesitated to purchase stock in the
various cooperative marketing as
~sociations, fearing that they would
lose-in case of failure-not only
their original investment but be liza
BILE for an equal additional sum. This
had a tendency to keep the well-to-do
farmers, who were personally liable
for debts, out of the cooperative
marketing movement.
"The law has resulted in working
a hardship on the small stockholders
while the stockholders in larger en-
terprises were able to have their cor
porations organized in other states
and to thus escape the effects of the
double liability provisions of the law.
Amendments to the state constitu-
ton to remedy this situation had
been tried several times and proved
failures. Efforts of the cooperative
organizations helped to put the am
endment across at the last election.

previous and placed her on proba-
ton for two years.
APPARENTLY Judge Pray has a fairly
good memory, if we are to judge by
the following story appearing in the
Great Falls Tribune last Friday morn
ing:
"The first contempt charge tried
in federal court this term was brought
before Judge Charles N. Pray We'd
nesday afternoon. S. R. Collins and
Ella Johnson, charged with sale and
possession of liquor at what they
termed a Chicken ranch" near Plen-
tywood, pleaded guilty and were each
fine $25 on the contempt charge. Ell
len Johnson had a suspended sentence
revoked and was committed to the
county Jail for 60 days. On a new
charge she was given a 60-day sus-
pended sentence, while Collins was
sentenced to serve 60 days and pay
a fine of $50"
SO these two trouble makers are
again disposed of for 60 days. How
many times those people will have to
be jailed until they learn that Sheri-
dan county is not big enough for them
and the regular folks, remains to be
seen.

complement for this costume is the
wool jersey blouse. which has been

1t would seem as if the fashion

the tunic, the bi-color idea in blouse
