- Since movies have learned that
days of complete rest in salt
air and far beyond the reach
of the disturbing telephone do
more for them than all the beauty
parlors In the world, the usual haunts
Of stars are deserted today.
But the various colonies popular with
acting folk, which stretch from La
Jolla to north Of Malibou, are thronged
with the gelatin gentry. enjoying q
quiet Fourth. The big parties Of yes
terday are no more in this village.
Less a concession to general depression
than q realization that depression gives
movie folk an opportunity to take the
rest and quiet they have longed for. A
lot Of canvas has been unfurled since
Thursday-and all the seaworthy gang
will return on Monday grinning sheep
ishly through their lobster red. If it's
too red, they will return with much
misgiving, for directors have said their
say quite frankly about some of the
sunburned effects. When too heavy,
they photograph black, so that when
the beautiful heroine, who looked like
o magnolia in the opening scenes of
the story, looks as if she had just re-
turned from long dusty drive you
can know it's too much sun and Sum-
mer.
Along Malibou way, Lilyan Tashman
and Edmund Lowe are entertaining in
their brand new red and white home.
The "Dick" Hylands are having in

stroyed in the fire some time back.

Realistic Polo.

DESPERATE riders of sporty ponies
who wallop something larger than
a croquet ball over the greensward to
a well guarded goal are promised one
of the most realistic polo games ever
in celluloid in "A Holy Ter
ror," on the Fox screen this week. Po-
tomac Park poloists would hardly ex-
pect to have their favorite sport buried
beneath so ungallant q title, but the
Fox press agent says it's there, and
also with it some of the finest horse
back riding and exciting action shots
known to the game.

RAILR0ADS-P0TAT0
MEN ARRANGE DEAL
Carriers Agree Not to Oppose
Broad Plea For Rehear-
ing on Rates

Minneapolis, Nov. 17.-(F-Rail-
roads serving Minneapolis and the
northwest agreed Monday. with potato
shippers of the Red River Valley that
they would not oppose efforts Of the
latter to obtain suspension Of in
creased rates on potatoes, recently or
dered by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, effective Dec. 3. on
shipments from the valley to Chicago
and points east.
This action was taken at confer
ence between the shippers and rail-
way officials.
The only stipulation made by the
railroads is that the potato dealers
must agree among themselves to ask
for suspension OF all rates affected by
the advances. The shippers, repre-
senting the marketing interests Of
Moorhead, Fargo, Grand Forks and
other Red River towns, and also q
few Minneapolis potato houses, are to
hold another meeting and decide on a
program that the railways will sup
port. If they can agree to oppose all
the advances, the petition for suspen-
sion will be filed with the Commerce
! Commission and the carriers will not
object.
A suspension order. II issued by the
commission in response to the petit
ton, will postpone the effective date
of the increase seven months and fur.
nish opportunity for further hearing
on the new rates. At the Monday
meeting shippers pointed out that the
advances would make it difficult II
not impossible for Red River potatoes
to compete in the important consum-
ing areas between Chicago and New
York, with potatoes from Maine,
Michigan and other eastern states.
It is estimated that the increases,
as ordered by the government, would
add more than IS per cent to the cost
of transporting potatoes from the
valley to eastern consuming points

mitted by Section 423 of the zoning
ordinance in the B residential district
and the grocery store will be allowed
in the E commercial district.
The city now has five zones: Tht

desire to have too many coloret

pense of adequate lighting for traffic
in the streets and for shoppers. Sew

ranging the green and red shades
will be tried out by the commissioner

GRAIN ASSOCIATION
GIVES ENDORSEMENT
TO MARKETING LAW
Oecries Wasted Effort From
cooperatives Fighting
For Business

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 17.-(P-Stock-
holders of the Northwest Grain asso-
citation concluded their annual meet
ing Monday with the election of 10
district directors and the adoption of
resolutions decrying wasted effort
80. from cooperatives fighting for
business in the field"
They received reports of the finan-
cial condition and the achievements
OF their association, reorganized as q
regional cooperative under the federal
marketing act two years ago, and
learned of the greatly restricted
sphere Of activity the association is to
occupy in the transfer of its Market
ing and crop movement financing
functions to the Farmers National
Grain corporation.
The Northwest association has
about one hundred elevators affiliat-
ed with it, according to G. w. Con-
nell, Minneapolis, secretary treasurer
and acting general manager since Oct.
l. Practically all of these were r. ..Ae-
sented by delegates at the meeting.
Directors will hold their annual
meeting Tuesday.
Resolutions adopted follow:
THAT first we reaffirm oar belief
in the soundness of the basil. princi-
Piles underlying the agricultural mar
keting act and decry the efforts Of
those who are attempting to secure its
repeal.
I'VE recommend to all INTERESTED in
the welfare of agriculture II careful
study of these principles and better
understanding of the possibilities of
the act to the end that fatmers can
take and prove themselves tapable of
a larger hand in the admt nistration
of its affairs both loyalty at d nation
ally.
while the status of the Northwest
Grain association is undergoing great
fundamental changes, we recommend
to our stockholders and officials that
they cooperate willingly and whole
heartedly with the Farmers National
Grain corporation and farm board to
the end that the farmers whom we
represent may secure the greatest
possible benefits from the marketing
act.
From the experience Of the work
of the act to date it has been demon
strated that considerable wasted ef-
fort has come about from coopera-
tives fighting for business in the field.
We think it is to the best interests OF
the movement that this be eliminated
and an honest effort made by cooper
atives to harmonic their efforts 50
that the minds of the farmers Will
not be confused"

SHORTAGE IN BIRTH
REGISTRATIONS SEEN
Health Director Urged compli-
ance With Law to Save
Trouble in Future

A thousand children born in North
Dakota this year may never be able
to legally prove their parentage or
citizenship because of failure to reg
lister the births with the state de-
partment Of health, according to sta
tistics compiled by Miss Vileta Roche,
director of the bureau of vital sta
tistics Of the department.
Miss Roche said that the records
indicate that about 1000 children
have not been registered, basing the
figures on previous statistics. Last
year the total births recorded were
1859, while for the first 10 months
there were about 1900 registered. So
far this year, 1898 births have been
registered.
Unless the registration Of the Ger
tificates Is rectified, North Dakota
will lose its place In the United States
registration area.
Under the law the attending ply
sician or midwife, or either Of the
parents Of the child are held re-
sponsible for the registration Of
births. There Is q $50 fine for ne
glect to file a certificate Of birth
within three days.
