Heywood BrounS Reoiew May Not Be The
Season S Best, But 1t Furnishes Timely
First Aid to Job[ess Actors
BY SWAN
NEA S~arVira Writer

NEW YORK, July Slime YER
satile Haywood Broun, who can
turn out q neatly phrased column
or essay, run for congress, or 90 a
monologue IN vaudeville, has turned
to a seemingly simple expedlent
for solving the problem OF the job
less actor.
It consists Of putting them TO
work.
Since the many Broadway pro-
ducers have no work for them
there remained the necessity Of be-
coming a producer himself. so II
happens that in the theater CT the
late Joe Lablang which bars
George NJ. Cohan's name there Is
under way an experiment hitherto
unheard OF in the bright-Iigh t sec
ton of New York. 1t Is a review in
which everything is contributed:
the sketches, music, direction and
the talent. The performers, with
little to lose save their time and
energies. must depend upon the
box-office income. Thsir rewards
must come from a sharing Of prof
its, these TO be distributed according
to the rank of the player.
It's a Good Gamble
Broun. OF course, gets nothing
but a lot Of hard work and the
credit for same. He has confessed
On occasion TO being stage struck
although he does not intend to play
Hamlet"
His revue is titled, Shoot the
Works This. In case you have
neglected your dice games, IS a
gambling term, but WITH the odds
sufficient TO cause professional
producers to show more than a
slight interest.
II 1t wins, the gentlemen who
put on shows will have something
to think about. For Columnist
Broun, with three weeks in which
to toss a new revue at a soporific
Broadway, and with little or no
money 10 spend, has a show that
is spotted with MAJOR moments,
balanced BY much that is not so
good. And this in the face OF the
fact that some OF the best known
folk Of the writing industry have
dug deep in their archives and
brought out pieces they personally
considered worthy. 1t is infinitely
better than a score OF profession
al productions, and not SO good as
a score OF others.
AT any rate, II has demonstrated
that there are ways Of keeping
players and chorines employed II
someone cares to try. Which was,
10 a great extent. Broun's point.
Because the matter Of thousands
Of unemployed actors Is more
serious than appears on the surface
Of a cooperative revue, a sort
Of audience-spirit Is likely to be
created. Even an audience may be
expected to become cooperative
under given circumstances, and
while Broun's revue Is no brilliant
Band Wagon. neither Is it just

TEXAS TOPICS

Most OF the plumbers concerning
legislation usually hurt the public.
But the historic bOnehead Of the
recent special session was definitely
to the benefit Of the public. The
condition which Ii prevented from
being remedied no longer exists,
and the opportunity has slipped BY.
That blunder was by attorneys
for some of the oil companies.
They fought and killed. a two-cent
per barrel flat production tax on
oil.
The rate was left at 2 per cent
Of the value of the oil.
Now. only in one year out Of 10
has the price Of oil been below one
dollar. ... With the east Texas shut
down and the Oklahoma shutdown,
it is deemed likely oil will 60 up
again, probably above the 81 level.
Gov. Sterling asked the change
as an increase in the rates they
existed at the time, due TO i'm
perative necessity of stabilizing the
states income.
New conditions arose with the
shutdown in east Texas.
Gov. Sterling would not now
sanction a 2-cent substitute for 2
per cent. AS a result. the state
will collect more taxes from the oil
companies.

of said amounts. In consideration
of the government making this
feed loan, the holder or holders of
existing mortgages shall also a
gree not to foreclose their mort
cages prior to September 30, 1892,
without the consent of the Secre-
tary of Agriculture or his duly
authorized representative. The
holder of a prior mortgage whose

tied States, shall agree that he will
in the event of foreclosure or sale,
first exhaust such SECURITY as he
has which is not pledged to the

the property covered by the mort
gage to the United States. There
fore, it is absolutely necessary
that where a prior mortgage ex-
lists on the livestock for which a
loan is being applied, that the par
ty holding said first mortgage
sign the waiver on the back of the
Chattle Mortgage forms. AS this
waiver is in four different sections
which includes the above mention

value of the first mortgage is less

toned, it is necessary for the par
ty holding the first mortgage to
sign the waivers.
According to a letter received
from Walter cliff, administrative
officer in charge of the seed loan
office at Grand Forks. it is nee
essary to give detailed descrip-
ton on Page 2 of the application
! of all prior encumbrances on the
livestock that is being included in
the mortgage. Otherwise, the ap-
plication will be returned. If the
applicant for a feed loan obtain
ed a seed loan and has not repaid
it a statement must be mde indi-
eating the yields and also whether
any feed was cut. This statement
should be included on the bottom
of page one of the application.
The new mortgage forms have
been forwarded to all community
committees, and those desiring to
make a loan under the new regu-
lations may secure blanks from
the closest community committee
man. All applications should be
filed in order that they will be
received at the Farmers Seed Loan
Office, Grand Forks. before De-
