Besides this there is $1,229.90
for inspecting and viewing roads
and bridges. Just how this last
item is divided up between COM
missioners and surveyor it don't
say.
Some people are kind of wonder
ing why one surveyor should be
paid $4,000 for doing office
work for ONE year and the bills
another surveyor turned in for
office work for TWO years
amounting to less than 81, 10000
was turned down flat and never
was paid.
The statement also shows that
the county has CT thousand dol
lars worth of outstanding war
rants-road warrants alone am
ounting to $48,000.0O-on which
we are paying sc interest. Which
shows that money has been spent
much faster than it was coming
in and shows that the administra
ton is in favor of running the
county on the installment plan in
stead of on a cash basis.
This is just what the bankers
like to see and l don't blame them
They buy up the warrants at {
discount, then deposit the war
rants with the county and draw
sinking found money on which
they pay u % interest, the count!
also pays them GO on the war
rants, so practically the count.
pay the banks $40 for taking
the money. If the rest Of u
could borrow money that way AM
could get the man we borrOwe'
from to pay us 51a% interest o.
the money we borrowed we coul
very likely make living at j
too and would probably be inter
ested in borrowing a lot of it.
There is $210,000.00 in the sink
ing fund. Just why that none
should be lent out to our bank
at 12 20 interest when it could b
invested in so many other an
better ways is hard to understand
The General Fund seems to b
pretty we'll off with $4,000
cash on hand, but why in tn
world should there at the sam
time be over 100000 worth c
General Fund warrants OutstanC
ing on which the county pays IL
terest? There is at least on
fund where there should be II
outstanding warrants. Of courS
the bankers like it that way an
are all going to vote for the pre-!
ent administration which is ser7
ing them so well.
The delinquent taxes for 1872
amounts to $46,652.16. The tot;
amount of delinquent taxes for IL
previous six years was only $40
100000. You see what Hoover pro-
perity, our business administratio
! and high taxes have done fl
Sheridan county! People are sin
ply throwing up their hands
despair and quit paying.
l. If you feel you would enjoy al
other two years of it, just hop
it and vote for it. There will ais
be a Farmer-Labor ticket to vo
on. but the bankers didn't help
pick the candidates so the ticket
] probably not much good. Wha
ever you do, don't ride the fenc

other.

This gives US a pretty good idea
of what the three thousand dollars
were spent for but why didn't
they tell US a little about that
small item at the bottom of over
twenty thousand dollars. 1t looks
very much like they are afraid
people should know about what it
was spent for, so they just call it
"Other Expenses" and let it go at
that. For all you and l know it
might have been spent paying for
some of the wild parties we hear
about.

To save his akin Mr.. Williams again
blamed my terrible interference" for
the humiliating position into which he
was thrown. He took pains TO explain
to Mr.. Schenck how impossible was

At the same time the newspapers
were screaming with the stories that
Rudy was "henpecked" and that !
wore the pants of the family" These
clippings were being fed to Rudy for
breakfast, lunch and dinner by so-called
friends, who knew they could get more
out of him If I were we'll out Of the
way. 1t is not pleasant to be pitied for
having a wife who would sacrifice her
husbands career for her own selfish
ambitions" Proud and sensitive as
Rudy was, this propaganda was not
without its results.
Between the lot of them the contract

to be allowed on the set.
Thus I was deprived of my occupation

into idleness.
This unexpected development left me
bewildered and lost. went to see Mr..
Schenck about 1t and found him more
air-minded than the others. Afte@ a
few interviews with him he discovered
I was not as bad as I was painted, and
he asked me to take charge, as of yore,
of the costumes and settings of Rudys
pictures. But his judgment had become
as warped and false as every one else'S
there.
Together Rudy and I decided that
the only thing to do was to have few
months separation. Perhaps that would
set straight our twisted outlook on life
in general and each other in particular
In my heart knew it wouldn't.
Things had gone beyond the mendine

god only laughed at my puny efforts
and clutched his iron fist the tighter.
With all hopes for making 1.-The
Hooded Falcon" now completely dashed,
slowly 1t began to dawn on us how
cleverly the plans of the producers
were laid. 1t was rumored Famous
Players had really advanced the funds
to him-even while their own litiga-
tons with Rudy were pending In the
courts. And Famous Players wanted
Cobra; 1T would be much cheaper to
produce. A costume picture like 1.-THE
HOODED Falcon" would cost half a mil
lion dollars; Cobra" barely one-fourth
that much; Cobra" it must be.
Chung to Vain Hope.
When Rudy learned this he was
furious. To think that all powers ir
the industry should unite to humiliate
him! But because we were tired OF
litigations, knew their disastrous re-
suits and didn't want to be held ur
again, we sadly agreed to make 1t. Yet
we still chung to one vain hope. Before
we agreed to make Cobra" we obtained
Mr. Williams written agreement that
1.-The Hooded Falcon" would be the Sec
ond picture of the contract, and that
Cobra" should not be released unit
after THE Hooded Falcon" had beer
actually shown on the screen. In this
way we still hoped to save Rudy's repu-
tation as an artist. OF course, Mr.. VIII
liams insisted that later he would have
plenty of money.
But the industry was not so easily
outdone. BY the time Cobra" was fin
ished Mr.. williams stated that hi
could not finance the rest of the con-
tract. Once again we were check
mated.

front as arbiter in our difficulties and

few personal belongings - just those
things that were essential to the jour
ney-and took the train for New York.
We didn't realize how final the good-by
was to be. We never saw each other
again.
In New York went Immediately to
the apartment we had taken six months
before, at 270 Park avenue, on a two
year lease, in the belief that after the
j. D. Williams contract was completed
we would make all our other pictures
in the East How futile and silly it is
to make plans! Here collected my

For funds, had barely travelling ex-

would return to him.
, But was not so easily reduced to
submission. That was the wrong pol
icy to use with me. After a few
weeks in New York I sailed for Paris,
where 1 obtained my divorce.
From Paris I went to the chateau,
to find mother and Uncle Dickie broken
hearted by the news of our separation.
They looked upon it merely as the
"squabble of two tempermental chill

and their knowledge of how happy we
had been together, they refused to be-

we were ambitious artistically rather
than along mercenary lines. Rudy
worShiped at the shrine of beauty just
as devoutly as 1 did. He was just as
eager to break away from the hackneyed
role of great lover Of the screen" and
make the beautiful, fine, artistic pic
lures he was worthy of, as I was to
have him do it. And I could see no
reason why he should not Other
screen artists were doing it. There was
Douglas Fairbanks, for instance, whose
splendid productions were setting new
standards for the picture industry
Robin Hood" 1.-THE Thief Of Bagdad,"
The Black Pirate"
Why should not Rudy have pictures
like these?
Rudy Denied Big Chance.
OF course, when we chose Douglas
Fairbanks for our model we were hitch
ing our wagon to a star. Doug has
everything man needs for success; not
only artistic appreciation but keen bust
ness acumen and commercial sense,
coupled with the boldneSS and fearless
ness that let him succeed as his own
producer rare combination of talents
difficult to equal. Yet on every SIDE we
saw artists of far less ability than Rudy
given big stories and big productions
that offered them their wonderful
chance.
Why I asked. should Rudy, with his
marked fair for romance, his unusual
dramatic ability, his magnetism and
proved drawing power, be forced into
cheap, trifling pictures and roles in
which his real art was proStituted for
the sake of bigger box Office receipts?
Why must he always be pawn in the
hand Of the great, iron-fisted, soulless
god of commercialiSm? The injustice
of 1t made me furious. I resolved he
should not be so used. But the great

PEACE GROUP STUDIES
ECONOMIC WAR PHASE
Carnegie Endowment Undertakes
Exhaustive Research to Determine
Possibilities.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April 28.-An exhaus-
tive research to find whether there is
any scientific basis for the widely held
theory that economic competition under
the conditions Of mass production Of
today is bound to bring with 1t inter
national conflict, has been undertaken
by the Carnegie Endowment for Inter
national Peace.
Announcement of the research has
been made by DR.. James T. Shotwell,
director of the division of economics
and history of the foundation in making
his annual report to the trustees.
This has an especial bearing upon
the foreign relations of the United
States" DR.. Shotwell said. Recently
books have appeared attempting to
prove that the economic conquest OF
the world by the United States Is
destined to bring disaster to other
civilized competitors. In collaboration
with the director of the division of
economies and history a committee OF
economists has been engaged in specific
studies which bear upon this inter-
national problem, and publication OF
some of these researches will take place
within the next few months"
