Appreciation for the cooperation re-
ceived from local bankers was recent
ly expressed by County Agent r. E.
Bodley Of Gallatine County, Montana,
who said: "My personal experience
has been that the average banker will
go more than half way with the county
agent, providing the latter has demon
strated that his work is constructive
and conservative, that he is man
capable of handling confidential In
formation and treating it as such, and
one who can keep his feet on the
ground"

There are many factors which in
dicate that farmers, as a class, will
be as quick to adopt airplanes as
they we're to make use Of automo-
biles.
No longer content to stick to the
drab isolation of his fathers, the
modern farmer travels widely, keeps
in close touch with urban life and
does his shopping in larger TOWNS
and cities.
With an airplane at his command,
the farmer can widen his scope Of
activities to include distant cities
and vacation spots.
Nearly every large farm owner
has a meadow or pasture which can
be used for his own private landing
field and hangers. Thus one of the
chief obstacles to the ownership of
planes by city people is removed

WHEN / was young man ieWer

gies than now have automobiles. All
our work and recreation was con-
fined 10 small area--bounded by
the distance which we could walk,
or ride in a horse and buggy, or go
by trolley car and return In q day.
With the coming Of automobiles,
Settles expanded to unheard Of pro-
portions, and we grew accustomed
to working and playing at great
distances from home.
Today it is nothing uncommon for
a man to drive twenty or thirty
miles to work. Weekend trips Of
several hundred miles are common.
Cur sphere Of activity has expanded
from five to at least 100 miles.
Now we are entering upon a new
era which will further enlarge this
sphere.
Take a large city like Chicago.
Aside from a few country clubs,
which are now in reality city clubs
or suburban CLUBS, which are called
country clubS-there is scarcely
room to turn around.
In many other cities there are
virtually no opportunities for out
door sports. We must travel many
miles to find a spot suitable for
outdoor recreation.
Even with present high-powered
motor cars it is almost impossible to
enjoy weekend trips in the country
due to the heavily congested traffic
and crowds.

BECAUSE Of these conditions the

employed by thousands of people
to escape the noise, heat, crowds,

Hilariously Funny Scenes Features Comedy Drama

 The play is based on story by William K. Wells. and ably di- rected by Irving Cummings.
 McLaglen appears as struc- tural iron worker who flirts with danger and with a beautiful wom- an who occupies an office in a building next to his job and, after meeting her, falls for real estate racket the woman and her confed- crate are promoting.
 She not only induces him to in vest his money, but influences him to interest his friends in the pur- chase of mythical lots.

 When the swindle is discovered, McLaglen's fellow workers, who had up to that time regarded him as on the level, attempt to mob him, but they are held at bay by McLag- lens landlady, whose confidence in him has not been shaken, until he and his buddy" escape.
 McLaglen and his buddy" trace the racketeers to the railroad sta ton and board the train that is ready to pull out for Montreal. It ends happily after terrific battle Also a sweet romance reaches a conclusion at the climax.
 McLaglen has played in many pictures but he never had a better role. He is amusing; he is dra- matic by turns and his perform ance is convincing William Harri- gan, well-known stage actor, DOT trays the role of McLaglen's bud dy" and is well suited to rather difficult part.
 Hilariously Funny Scenes His scenes with McLaglen 24 stories up in the air and in the boarding house where McLaglsr dolls up" to meet the woman who has intrigued him, are hilariously funny, but not more amusing than l the action in the amusement park where he "entertains" Lilyan Tash- man, famous vamp of the screen who plays the leading feminine role
 Splendid support is given by an unusually competent cast that in- cludes such well known, screen personalities as Arthur Stone, Lei la Mcintyre, Mary McAlister, Ben Hewlett, R. o. Pennell and Harry Tenbrook.
