. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
STRAND THEATER
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Most screen players are noto-
riously supegstitious but it remain
ed for one Columbia company to
admit the greatest collection of un-
orthodox fetishes and good luck
charms ever heard of on the Hol-
lywood front.
The company is headed by
Nancy Carroll and John Boles, in
"Child of Manhattan" showing to-
night at the Strand Theater.
Miss Carroll, for example, would
never think of starting a picture
without daubing on bit of powder
from a worn and torn old powder
puff, the one she used, to be exact,
during her first days as a dancer in
"The Passing Show of 1923"
John Boles insists upon going
through rehearsals wearing an old,
frayed and patched flannel jacket,
a bit of wearing apparel he picked
up while studying voice abroad.
In the wallet of Tyler Brooke,
who plays the role of a fashionable
modiste in "Child of Manhattan"
is an old Chinese coin which was
presented to him many years ago
by a fellow-player and which is
with Brooke in every scene.

speaking to the property man be-
fore going into a scene, processing
that this brings them good luck,
while the two youngsters of the
cast, Betty Cradle and Betty Ken

their fingers as they approach the
microphones.
Even Eddie Buzzell, whose di-
rectorial effort on "Child of Man.

wears a yellow slip-on sweater
while putting the players through
their PAGES. That's good luck for
him, he says,

SP UCE- Rec
By GEORGE ALLAN ENGLAND

osoSoSOSoo
Thou filthy yellow journal,
Devoured by hordes of half
illiterate morons,
Vert once a spruce-tree in far,
murmuring forests;
Once swayed in summer breezes,
once communed
With bird and squirrel and high
moon, cloud-veiled;
Once hearkened brooks a-babble;
once in winter
Bent with pure snow, nobly en-
garlanded.
Crime now defiles thee, lust and
greed and passion;
Headlines a-scream with murder
and betrayal,
Adultery, seduction, nameless
vices,
Theft, blackmail, war; this Tester
ing worlds corruptions.
Thus now, to serve mans pur-
poses, O spruce-tree,
Hast thou become tabloid yellow
journal.
No more thy roots shall grope
the messy mould,
Thy rough trunk rise in forests
cool-embowered,
Thy branches, green with needles,
spread their tent
To pale, far sky on mountains of
New England.
Thy dignity, thy beauty all have
died,
Not to build other beauty,
dignity,
But, now become a prurient yell
low sheet,
To print mans follies, treacheries
and crimes.
All that man touches, ne de-
stroys, defiles.
Even tall trees, by ancients loved
and worshiped
As visible symbols of divinity,
Mankind degrades to vehicles of
foulness.
One hour, o spruce-tree, blazon
mankind's baseness,
Then cast away, forever lie
abandoned!
o beautiful green tree, in forest
holy,
Befouled and ravished, utterly
undone,
Farewell, farewell!

ALLURING COLORS
MARK NEW STYLES
Solid Crepes and Triple
Sheers Leading Fabrics.

The leading colors for fall are the
deep and dark tamarack and Adj
rondack green, rich, luscious porto
wine, beautiful baku brown, smart
fall beige and the ever classic
black. Intriguing names, and love
ly colors.
In the line of less tailored
dresses, the styles are not so well
established, however, one can safely
say that rather subdued, rich print
ed crepes will be very good. All the
warm, fall colors will be found in
lovely solid crepes and triple sheers.
Accents are featured on sleeves and
shoulders more than ever. The sill
houette for fall is slim, narrow, al
ways trim and smartly cut. There
is much attention given to sleeves
and neckline trimming. Piqae col
larettes, cuffs, scarfs and the like
will be very good. All sorts of but
tons are prominent, and can add so
much to otherwise drab costumes.
Knitted frocks are better than
ever, and jacket and bolero dresses
are very good.

Meet Draws Big Crowd
Farmers From Five Northwestern

Fully one thousand farmers from
five Northwest states gathered in
st. Paul last week to attend the
twelfth annual stockholders meet
ing of the Central Cooperative Asso-
citation, farmer-owned and farmer
controlled livestock selling agency
at South St. Paul. The meeting
was held on Feb. Z and s at the St.

of member shipping

stockholders in the Central.
mistaken by the severity with
which the general depression has
burdened livestock producers, these
farmers sat at the convention for
two days earnestly discussing the
ways and means of economically
improving their industry. They
touched upon important legislative
matters as well as domestic and
international questions Of the day,
forming resolutions concerning
matters relative to cooperative live
stock marketing.
C.. B. Crandall, farmer, Of Dako-
Ia County, Minnesota, and Presi-
dent Of the Central Cooperative As

day with an address on present eco
nomic conditions in their relation
to the livestock and meat industry.
Unfair distribution of the nations
income was pointed out by Mr..
Crandall as one Of the general ills
Of agriculture. He said that the
responsibility rested upon the farm

ida, Chairman, who said the testi-
mony thus far taken indicated time
was being wasted unless some de-
termination is had as to the basis
Of the legislation which is to be
drafted.
Senator Shipstead argued for the
bond issue method Of replacing
farm mortgages privately held on
the ground that equity must be
preserved" for both the debtor and
the creditor. He cited various cal
culations as to the amount of farm
mortgage debt and it's distribution
among life insurance companies,
savings and other banking institu-
lions and private investors.
1.-The very fact that they are so
widely held" he added, makes it
obligatory on Congress to consider
both sides. The mortgage holders
cannot be wantonly destroyed any
more than the farm debtors can be
allowed to go to the ruin for which
they are now headed"
1t was Senator Shipstead's view
that loans for farm mortgages were
self-liquidating to an extent equal
to the present definition of such
loans by the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation. This view was
disputed by Senators Couzens and
Walcott, but the Minnesota Senator
observed that either the farmers
must be given a chance to pay out
or your Federal bonds won't mean
anything anyway"
eff a farm is not a self-liquidat-
ing project under present condi-
tons, do not know of self-liquid-
ating project anywhere" Senator
Shipstead added.
He reminded the Committee of
various suggestions to accomplish a
reappraisal of the farm values and
Explained that none of them ap-
peared workable. In the first in
stance, he said, there is no basis at
lpresent that is sound, and if it were
sound now, he explained, any appre-
citation of the present values would
be unfair to the farm borrower lat
err. This condition naturally will
come, Senator Shipstead believed,

There is another reason why no
Appraisal should be attempted now, II
he added. ITO accomplish an ap-
praisal of all of this debt would
take so much time that the results
would be worthless by the time ii
was finished. The time to do some
thing for the farmers is now, not
several years from now"
Senator Couzens raised the ques.
ton of how the Shipstead bill
would work since it gives no con.
sideration at all ITO the city or vii.
lage residence owners" Senator
Shipstead replied that the farmers
had to be saved or it would not
matter about the city homes, to
which the Michigan Senator re.
piled that unless some considera
ton is given to the city workers
who are the professors and con.
sumers Of the farm products, the
farmers won't be well off either"
