Clara Bow in
 Strand Feature
Emotional Star Scores Heavily in "Call Her
 Savage"

Clara Bow, dynamic. famc- haired siren of the screen, erst- ! while Tt" girl and one-time Queen ' of the Flappers," emerged fully mature emotional actress in "Call { Her Savage" first of her Fox star ring pictures which opens to-mor- i row at the Warner Strand. With none of the hip-tossing, hair-waving hoydenisms that char acterized her earlier pictures. she . reveals an entirely new personality l. in a vivid portrayal that takes her from wild, carefree days on a Texas ranch to tho gay spots of New York night life; from hectic 1. hours with worthless husband to ] the dire necessity of providing for a sick baby when she is a penni- less unknown wandering the streets of New Orleans.
 From girlhood to motherhood, from. wealth to poverty and back again, Clara convincingly portrays every emotion in this gorgeously- { gowned, superbly mounted produc- l. ton that must be hailed the one ,great triumph of her career. Others are now bound to come.
 Gilbert Roland heads the all- featured supporting cast which also includes Thelma Todd, Mon- roe Owsley, Estelle Taylor, Willard Robertson, Anthony Jowitt and {. Weldon Hepburn.
 "Cafl her savage was adapted by Edwin Burke from Tiffany Thay- er's novel of the same name. The companion feature is Men Arc Such Fools" and features Leo Carriilo with Vivienne Osborne. Una Merkei. Tom Moore, Joseph Cnvfthorn, Paul Hurst and other
 favorites.

New Broadway Star Rises From Not-So- GoodP Play
Lady Peal Runs Riot

Lady Peel Runs Riot
 However, there has come tc town a new musical piece. which turns out to be Q field day for Beatrice Lillie. And where Liliis fans are concerned, a field day for Nils sLiilie takes on the stature of the Olympic games. Walk 2 Little Faster" Is the title. and ii the production only did. there would be a sure-fire hit.
 But one cannot depend entirely upon the Lillies of the field days. and Lady Peel goes through q routine which ranges from quaint. ld-fashioned college gal stuff te the less quaint new-fashioned com edy with which all Lille pickers are familiar.
 Miss Lillie, despite an overpro- duction of material. remains one of the superior clowns and therc is no more severe test than an eve ming of the same comic. True, the famous old team of Clark and Mccullough are on the progra m. but they have such ordinary ma. terial that their opportunities art limited. This team, by the way. is overdue to find a scribbler who can turn out material which fits them.
 Those Low Down Blues

PLAN TO FORCE FARMERS OFF
POOR OR UNPRODUCTIVE LAND
DR.. Gaus Presents Plan That Would Make Farmers
Farm Hands or Wandering Jobless

Gaus suggests that the farmers
should "buy land on which taxes
have become delinquent" If the
farmers who have been farming
the better land for many years
aren't even able to meet their tax
payments, how can another farm
er expect to make a living out Of
the same land?
PUSHED OFF LAND
Forcing marginal lands out of
cultivation" really means that the
farmers who own the lands would
be pushed off their farms, to be-
come farm hands for their rich
|neighbors or wandering jobless,
tramping the streets of the cities.
This plan is intended to blind
the farmer to the fact that he can
not make living under the pres
ent system even on good lands and
that there is o reason why he and
his family should starve or freeze
to death when they struggle to
wrest a living from poor soil.
DIR. Gaus' plan is just another
aimed to keep the farmers back
bent to the pillow and his eyes on
the ground.

Plans to help the farmers are as
plentiful as sands of the Sahara
and are just as unproductive as
are the barren deserts.
DR.. John M. Gaus of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin is one of
those with a plan that is supposed
to help the farmer. His plan, in
brief, is to force poor and unpro-
ductive farm lands out of culti-
walton. He suggests that those
who own this poor land should buy
better land on which taxes have
become delinquent.
CAN'T BUY ANYTHING
The poorest farmers are already
on this marginal land. Just how
they are to buy anything at all
when they are ground down and
struggling TO exc the barest liv-
ing out of the soil, DIR. Gaus does
not reveal-Of course it is mani
testify impossible for the farmers
who own less productive marginal
lands to buy the more fertile land,
so that DR.. Gaus' plan is pretty
painless on that score.
However, the full absurdity of
the plan is disclosed when DR..

1t cannot be taken that these
wholesale prices are any indica-
ton of the trend of retail prices,
since merchants and middlemen
have continued to make profit
out of the goods that workers and
farmers have to buy. The farmer
can't console himself by thinking
that if the wheat he sells goes
down in price that the coffee he
buys will also be cheaper. 1t does
not happen that way.
A BITTER DRINK
Every time the farmer drinks a
cup of coffee before he does his
chores in the morning he can re-
member then, that it takes in :
creasingly mere wheat, cotton, or
corn in exchange for that cup of
coffee than it did even a few
months ago when farmers were
laying all their troubles at the
door of the Republican administra-
ton.
Are the Democrats any more
the friends of the farmer than the
Republicans-or are they both
what they prove themselves TO be,
agents of big business and the
capitalist system?

Low prices for hogs brought back
a scene Tuesday which was once

Song of the Hunger March
BY Albert Galatskv

DV AIDet Oalatsky
from the cities, from the farmlands.
Where the wolves of hunger run,
Came the armies of the workers.
Onward, on to Washington.
Round about them stretched the country
Fat in cattle, rich in grain,
Who could here conceive Of HUNGER
Must have had mailman brain!
Yet, IN every town and city
AS the Hunger Marchers passed.
In the halls and on the sidewalks
Hungry, freezing workers massed
Every city, every village.
Cheered the Hunger Marchers on,
Sent delegate to join them
On the march to Washington.
White and Negro, one united,
With single firm demand
~ Fcliet from cold and hunger
For the workers of the land.
0lubs and hardships could not stop them
WI White and Negro fought as one
Ill they staged their demonstration
On the streets of Washington.
Let these marchers be the vanguard
VI greater march to come
When the battlecry of workers
browns the sound of fife and drum
And the proletarian armies
Strong in freedom newly won
Raise aloft the scarlet banner
On the dome of Washington.

Us Out Despite Bitter
Weather; First Militant
Action
SHOW ENTHUSIASM
Cheer Fighting Stand of
United Farmers League
Speakers
(BY FRANK ARVOLA)

Hancock, Mich, Dec. 19.-In
spite of drifted roads and severe
cold l25 farmers gathered here
from all over Hcughton county
last. Saturday to demonstrate
against the foreclosure of farm
er's home. This was the first pro
test demonstration ever held in
Houghton county against foreclos-
ures. '0N
The farm which was being fore
closed belonged to Charles Niemi
OF Chassell. He had contracted to
pay $500 for his farm. out of
which he has already paid $3.50
during the last four years. The
last payment en- the note was made
on August 8, 1882. Niemi has paid
interest on the mortgage for 1881
and would have paid taxes last
spring but he was not allowed
time to pay interest on the mort
gage with cash or produce.
GATHER AT COURT HOUSE
The farmers gathered in frcnt
OF the court house Saturday NOM
ing, carrying banners with such
slogans as "no foreclosures or
evlctions," moratorium on mort
cages and taxes" "cash relief for
all poor farmers" shot lunches in
school,"
The sheriff made an attempt to
stop the speakers at the sale who
pointed out the position of the
farmers and the robber policy IF
the bankers who foreclose on the
farmers who are unable to meet
their payments, and the role the
sheriff plays to evict farmers from
their land only to face starvation
in the bread and soup lines of the
cities. A resolution was read and
unanimously adopted.
CALL FOR STOPPING OF
FORECLOSURES
This resolution pointed out that
farmers in Houghton county are
getting In such a situation that
they can't get anything from their
products which means that thew
have NO income and cannot meet
previous obligations. The resolu-
ton called for the stopping of all
foreclosures and evictions of small
farmers during the economic crisis.
The farmers then went into the
court house to warm themselves.
There the farmers committee of
the United Farmers League pre-
sented a copy of their resolution
to the sheriff who read it and
shed tears over it but would do
for the farmers for fear
of being ousted. And as the sale
was coming to a close the farmers
again were iii front of the court
house, this time to boo and shout
down with Sheriff Francisco"
Then three healthy cheers for the
United Farmers League.
The speakers pointed out that
we must rally the farmers to pre-
vent the eviction of Charles Niemi
and to build the UFL so that by
mass pressure we will force the
officials to hear our demands and
TO act on them as the farmers of
Baraga, Mich. had forced the sup
ervisors to go on record against
all foreclosures and evictions of
hat county. With more cheers
for the United Farmers League,
The farmers adjourned.
