OUR DAILY NEWS LETTER
,By MERRILL E. COMPTON

By MERRILL E. COMPTON United Press Stan Correspondent Little Rock-The immediate prob. lem of caring for thousands of desti. flute citizens out of the way, bushes. leaders, agriculturists. bankers and state officilas have turned to the pro. gram of increasing the wealth and
 well being of the farming class oi
 this state by change in farming programs.
 The drought of the past sum mer, which blistered fields, burned cotton and pasture lands and killed garden crops caused nearly a half million persons to form bread lines, and brought on suffering never before known in the states history.
 The nearest comparison to the suffering was reached by the 1927 flood when hundreds of thousands of persons were driven from their homes by high waters of the Missis- |sippi. White, Arkansas and other streams and their tributaries. Sufferers Grouped
 But at that time, relief experts pointed out, the destitute families were grouped together and control of disease, feeding and care of the sick and injured wa comparatively easy in contrast to the situation that faced state leaders last winter.
 The drought brought suffering early in the summer and by Octo- Der larders of hundreds of families were barren.
 Many communities, including England, in south central Arkansas, Forrest City, in the heart of the rich eastern Arkansas delta cotton land, and other towns and communities cared for their hungry families for several weeks before national atten- tion was focused on this state and aid came from outside communities.
 In January the angry curse of q fear-driyen farmer who had tramp ed over frozen roads to England to get food and clothing for his hun- gry children and starving wife, aroused the nation.
 Mob Needed Leader.
 The farmer was one of score or more that milled in the streets and threatened citizens and merchants unless their needs were met. The mob needed leader when quiet lawyer, George Morris. an improvised rostrum and harangued the throng
 The men knew Morris. They knew his father, his brother and knew the reputation of Morris in that little community.
 The mob dispersed. but not until Morris had told them food would come and that with it would come For weeks afterwards Morris and others worked side-by- side helping those men, dispersing sacks of beans, peas, corn, four cheap cuts of meat. potatoes and 
 To-day the same man, whose training as farmer is book learned as we'll as actual. is taking the lead in rearranging the farming life of his community by introducing new farming methods.
 His program is diversification, one that all farm experts believe will be the solution to the farming problems of this state.

CLARA BOW DIARIES LEAVE 'IT' FAME FOR DRAMA HONOR AT FOX POLL PALACE

Is Clara Bow the victim of her own talent?
 Will the public, having known her only as a gay-hearted, poy-loving, excitement-seeking youngster, allow her to exercise her talents in her chosen field of dramatic portrayal? ?
 These are the questions which have been puzzling Paramount's lit- tie redhead for several years past, and now, with her first real drama tic role before the public in "Kick In" the attraction at the Fox-Poli Palace theater here, she is anxiously awaiting the verdict.
 Director after director has seen in Clara Bow the attributes which make for lasting stardom in deep down emotional roles. Frank Tut tie lauded her versatility when, in "Her Wedding Night" he introduced her in farce comedy. Richard Wal lace, who directed Ruth Chatterton in ''The Right to Love-" sees in Clara Bow an outstanding dramatic personality.
 Director Futile said recently Clara Bow has a faculty for de- livering perfect scenes without any preliminary building up or prepara- tion. That, to my mlnd IS what makes her one of the truly great actresses of the time. Her new pie ture, Kick In,' gives her an oppor- tunity to do something different and to display those fine acting talents which for so long, have remained hidden"
 "Clara Bow brings to her dramatic emotional role in Kick h. says yu~ Ssn which made her the favorite of the flappers, but, in Interpreting the ex- acting role of girl who fights the law and the temptations of lawless- ness for love and her man, she evinces a deep-felt and compelling understanding of character which is seldom equalled, and never sur passed, by any of the screens estab- Iished dramatic favorites."

Giant bird which lived long before there were people. on earth (Aftcr Lucas.)

Among extinct birds are those which have been given names meaning "Terrible Bird" High Bird" 'Fat Bird and Thunder Bird"
 Thunder Bird had leg-bones larger than those of a COW. What we might call the ''drumstick" was two and q half feet long. Someone has playfully called him "a thunder ing big bird"
 In 1884 a French traveller re- ported that the natives of Mada gascar were in the custom of cut ting certain eggs in two to make bowls. Later travellers found entire eggs and transported them to France. Birds of the kind which laid the eggs are no longer to be seen in Madagascar. or anywhere else; but the eggs they laid have been studied with care. They measure as much as 13 inches In length. Dr Frederic Lucas declared that the shell of one of them is of six ostrich eggs, or 148 hens eggs. From this statement you may gather that the egg is a large one! Birds which laid such eggs are known as High Birds. but they were no taller than the modern os- trich.
 A century ago. white men in New Zealand were entertained by a strange tale told by natives.
 "A giant bird lives in the noun tains." said the natives. He has the head of man, and he tramples people to death. We have never seen this bird. but we know he lives there." r.
 Efforts by white men to find such bird failed; but bones of giant type of bird were found. This bird call the Moa, is believed to have died out long ago; and 1t is thought the memory of him was handed down in story form from generation to generation among the New Zea- land savages. Skeletons show that some of the Moas were 10 feet high.
 A giant bird which once lived in the southern part of South Ameri- ca. in the region called Patagonia. had large head and hooked beak. This is believed to have been a bird-of-prey, feeding on other birds and on mammals.

All this Is caused by another woman who in a strange manner becomes his inspiration in spite of tho fact that he dearly loves his wife and family.
 This is one of the most entertain ing and frank discussions of the marriage problem that has ever been adapted to the talking screen. It will prove one of the most popular hits in the long line that has been brought to the States screen in rapid order.

 Spencer Tracy, who made an un- usual debut in talking pictures a short time ago in John Ford's com edy of prison life, Up the River" picture was no accident with Quick Millions" which had its premiere performance at the Fox Poli Palace last night.

He plans to re- venEe ntmselI on the society girl by Kidnapping her from her wedding to a college boy.
 Too late he discovers that he has forfeited any loyalty he might have expected from his former associates.
