HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Aug. 21.- Hollywood insists on second edi- tions" of it's famous, and now we're hearing about a character actor who is "a second Emil Jan nings"
 "The American Jannings," to be more specific, it what B. P Schulberg observed concerning Ed ward Arnold, when he placed the actor under contract. Arnold does bear some resemblance to the German who before talkies was Hollywood's foremost exponent of screen characterization, but his technique is not initiative, and Hollywoods inference, like Schul- berg's is wholly complimentary.

 Likewise, Edward Arnold has played in enough films to estab- fish himself as first Arnold"- but Hollywood loves second edi- tions."

Get Surplus Eggs
U. S. Notes Surplus and Considers
Adding to Relief
Purchases.

Washington, Oct. 18.-Before long
some of the needy may have eggs
to go with that ham and bacon the
government is providing.
Farm administration officials
have been studying the poultry sit
uation for some time and have
come to the usual conclusion
many chickens and too many eggs.
Since the Federal Relief Corpo-
ration has cash to pay for farm
SURPRISES required to feed the I'M
employed, several million dozen
eggs may make the transfer from
storage to the table soon.
The price that would have to be
paid for chickens, even those in
cold storage, is regarded as too
high, probably, to justify buying
any considerable quantity for the
destitute.
already a generous helping of the
commodities the government has
announced it intends to buy would
make a pretty good meal for hun
cry family.
One hundred million POUNDS =,
pork products are on hand and will
be supplement ed, officials say, by
buying that may bring the total to
SOC, 600, 900 pounds.
ne purchase of around 100000
pounds of butter monthly is con-
templated and the buying of wheat
to be ground into -four for bread
has begun. Beef products are to
be purchased through the relief cor
poration.

keting machinery for buying and
selling butter throughout the East
ern half of the United States.
There are three important fac
tors that this demonstrates and
that should be known to every
farmer. First: The Importance and
necessity of controlling surplus pro-
duction in every line. Second:
When the surplus is controlled, the
cost is small in comparison with
the gain through increased price.
Third: Farmers can through their
cooperative marketing organiza-
lions learn how to market their
products and have marketing ma
chinery for so doing, and that will
be able to meet any emergency. We
learn by doing.
During the past twelve years
that the 400 member cooperative
cream cries of Land o. Lakes have
been working together, they have
learned to do many things" said A.
]. Mcclure, general manager OF
Land o. Lakes creameries, which
is not only of value to themselves
but to dairy farmers of the whole
country. 1t is sincerely hoped that
all cooperative creameries and all
dairy farmers will now more clear
ly see the good that can be &C
complished through them working
together and take part in the Land
O. Lakes organization"

Minting Gold for Friends

Christopher Bechtler, a native of
the Duchy of Baden, emigrated to
the United States in 1929 and the
fruit Of his subsequent labors has
become the source of study for col
lectOrs ever since.
Being by trade a goldsmith, he
soon journeyed to the mountains of
North Carolina, having heard there
was gold in the hills. Building a
small cottage few miles north of
Rutherford, he Immediately began
an active business. Besides coming
money for his neighbors, he mined
for gold and silver and the semi
precious stones that are still to be
found in the southern mountains.
The inhabitants of the Carolinas
and Georgia brought their gold to
his mint for coming, just as they
carried their wheat to the miller.
The mint master weighed the rough
gold in the presence of his custom

List in Central Minnesota

Stearns county was the first
Minnesota county to receive ,ap-
prevail, of Agricultural Adjustment
Administration at Washington for
completion of the county organi-
cation of wheat growers and the
budget. A letter to this effect was
received by Edwin MANI, Paynes-

production control association, from
Geo. E. Farrell, ASSOCIATE chief,
wheat section at Washington.
The sign-up campaign on wheat
acreage reduction in Stearns coun-
ty was in charge of the county ag-
ricultural extension office at St.
Cloud. The campaign in the coun-
ty is completed and no more sappli-
cations will be accepted. A total
of 966 growers signed applications.
This is the largest sign-up in any
county in central Minnesota. The
office at St. Cloud is now busy
preparing printers lists of names
and will soon make out the official
contracts.

Sitting Bull Not Chief,
but Influential Leader

Sitting Bull, whose Indian name
was Tatanka YOtanka, was a Sioux,
born in 1884 Tor 1887 in what la.
ter became South Dakota.
His father was a warrior, but new.
er chief. Sitting Bull was not
himself a war chief, though he led
his people in some of the most san
culinary fighting of the plains wars.
He was in his youth medicine
man. and afterward a preacher and
politician-even prophet, for he
claimed the power of divining the
intentions Of the Great Spirit. and
gave to the conflicts In which he
figured something of the character
Of holy war.
In 1876 he commanded the band
Of hostile Sioux which ambushed
Custer and massacred his troops on
the Little Big Horn river. Montana.
Following the battle, Sitting Bull
fled to Canada, where he remained
for four years. He then returned
and surrendered himself and his fol-
lowers to the white man under
promise of, amnesty.
Although apparently submissive,
he cherished an unyielding hostil-
ity, and was one of the first to join
the new outbreak of the Sioux in
the early winter of 1890. 1t was in
this conflict. in December, 1890, that
he was killed near Fort Yates,
North Dakota, while he and other
rebellious Sioux were resisting ar
rest by the Indian police.

Elimination Of Surplus
Maintains Price of Butter
Land O'Lakes Corporation Have
Fought Hard for the North
west Dairyman

For the first time in the history
of marketing the price of butter has
been held at a set price for over
30 days. Beginning Aug. 16 when
the market price of butter was 10
cents the Land OLakes Creameries
set out to cut surplus and succeed
ed in advancing the price to 24c on
September IS. Since that date the
price has remained steadily at that
point.
The market price of butter dur
ing the first six months of this year
was 20 cents. During the month OF
July, the price advanced to 26 cents
caused by many people buying but
ter in the belief that the price
would go still higher. When it was
found that there was surplus of
butter in the country, the speculat-
ors quit buying and the price start
ed to decline, reaching 19c on Aug.
IA. 1t was the general belief that
it would go to 15c.
A meeting of dairy cooperative
marketing organizations was called
in Chicago, Aug. Is and a plan was
adopted for raising the price of but
ter and controlling the surplus and
the plan was presented to Secretary
Wallace. Immediate action was re-
quested. Secretary Wallace was

willing and anxious to assist in rails
ing the price of butter and con-
trolling the surplus. But he stated
that it would take time to set up
the necessary machinery. It was
pointed out to him that the coop
erative creameries already had a
butter marketing agency in Land
o. Lakes that could begin work i'm
mediately to raise the price. Sec
Rotary Wallace then authorized
Land Or Lakes to put the plan in
to operation until the government
would have time to set up a separ-
ate organization for that purpose.
During the time that this ad-
vance was made, from Aug. Is to
Sept. 18, in which the price was
raised SC per pound, the country
produced something over 1876 mil
lion pounds of butter. Land O.
Lakes found it necessary to buy
only a comparatively small percent
age of this amount to raise the
price. It may be estimated that for
every dollar required to advance the
price, the farmers who sold cream
made at least four dollars. 1t would
have been good investment even
though the butter purchased by
Land O. Lakes had to be given
away. But the probabilities are
that the butter surplus will all be
used in the regular trade before
spring.
Land OLakes creamery members
and all cooperative creameries
should remember that if this action
had not been taken by Land O.
Lakes, with the assistance of other
cooperative dairy organizations,
that the price of butter would I'M
doubtedly have gone to 15c or low
er. Land o. Lakes creameries did
this work at practically no extra

Minors Under IA
Must Have Permit
Age at Which Hunting License Can
Be Secured Is Sixteen
Years

There has been considerable COM
plant about boys invading farms
on certain sections of the county
shooting pheasants before the sea-
son opens. The open season on the
ringneck pheasants starts at noon
Saturday, Oct. 81, and it is recalled
that the age limit for boys needing
hunting license is 16 years this
year, compared with 18 years here
tofore.
There has been considerable talk
that boys under 16 cannot carry
fire arms, but a glance at Mason's
statutes for 1927 covering this
point, reads as follows:
No minor under the age of IA
years shall handle or have in
his possession or under his con-
troll, except while accompanied
by or under the immediate
charge of his parent or guard
ian, any firearm or any kind for
hunting or target practice or
any other purpose. Every per-
son violating any of the fore
going provisions, or aiding or
knowingly permitting any such
minor to violate the same, shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor.

Few Active Volcanoes

Few volcanoes are active in the
United States. Mount Lasen, in
California, shows occasional small
outbreaks. Mount Hood, in Oregon,
exhales vapor, as also does Mount
Rainier in Washington. The Mono
valley craters and Mount Shasta
are extinct, like most of the many
volcanic peaks in the Cascade range.
Mount st. Helens in Washington
was in eruption in 1S41 and 1912,
and Mount Baker in the same state
was active in the following year. An
eruption occurred in 1857 at Tres
Virgines, in the south of California.

The automobile was not one

on the internal combustion engine.
The discoveries of many of these
people are incorporated in every car
today. On April 10, 1892, the first
