strategic move-even if unwittingly So
for "Ah, Wilderness needs the presence
of Mr.. Cohan.

George M. Cohan is able to improve

Pittsburghers. accustomed to passing
judgment on theatrical entertainment

Declared Comedy.
A critic for the Post Gazette said:
Believe it or not. O'Neill has writ
ten a comedy. He may not
call it a comedy, but it is high in
humor 1t also has long, long, arid
stretches when nothing eventuates."
Another for the Sun Telegraph. said:
1t is about as unlike an
ONeill play as it could be- It
is a comedy of characters. and Of
these characters George M. Cohan
is the richest, deepest and most
human. Sentiment, kindliness,
deep understanding and rare quality
of quirt humor make Cohan's portrayal
of the father an outstanding artistic
achievement"
All in all. critics and the audience
at large were extremely kind Be that
as it may, the feeling still persists that
O'Neill may have had a premonition
when he selected George M. Cohan for

CHICAGO, September ga dinner

Chauncey Mccormick entertained the
French Ambassador, Andre de Labou-

For when all the guests had as

privilege to confer the decoration Of the
Legion Of Honor upon Mr.. Mccormick.
The most surprised person Of all was
the host.
Several things contributed to the
French decoration Ambassador M. de
Laboulaye explained One was the
leading part Mr. Mccormick played in
assembling the works Of art for the
Chicago Art Institutes Century of

Whistler's famous Mother" portrait
was borrowed from the Louvre in Paris.
But before that was McCormick's IS

Zanuck has not lost sight of the fact
that the "Gayest Mile in Gods World

the Bowery, therefore. that is played

colorfully woven through its fabric
without ever dominating the locale

Chuck Connors Portrayed.
Wallace Beery has given us in his
portrait of Chuck Connors one OF the
finest characterizations he has done
and George Raft as Steve Brodie. who
made the famous Brooklyn Bridge
jump, is as telling a type OF gay
COS slickster as you'll ever see. Fay
Wray is the ideal type for this setting
hair and eyes and demeanor fitting
beautifully into the period of the story.
The best little trouper in Hollywood

this kid role with his heart twist and
smiles.
But the thing which dominates all
this is the roaring thoroughfare where

"Ta-ra-ra- boom decay" as sung by
Pert Kelton made the high-water mark

the mildest form of dismissal and
a fire brigade that could take it, was
something to achieve; where your per-
sonality was your fortune and earned
you backing in one Of the huge guided
saloons of the day with their 200-foot

She is not, however. alone in her
glory. Freddie Sherman. young man
who is better at character parts than
he is as an urchin juvenile, last night
stole the play right out from unoer
everyone else. He made you forget the
rather long and uneventful moments
of the first act, and when he came to
the third almost ripped the roof right
off the theater with eloquent grimaces
and verbal soundings.
Since the management requests that
you be kept in the Clark concerning the
-denouement. the why's and wherefores
of Mr.. Sherman's excellencies may not
be divulged. We guarantee, however,
that you will find him better than he
has ever been beforehand that this is
the lustiest, most insidious and spec
tacular role he has done since he first
became popular with National audi
ences.
Since the plot of Criminal at Large"
must be kept quiet. We can at least advise
you to 60 and find out about 1t. 1t being
head and shoulders better than any
mystery yarn you are likely to see until
another Edgar Wallace rises up again.
While the first act lacks speed and
grace and excitement. you get more
than your moneys worth later on. and
are guaranteed to go home full of mean
and grotesque thoughts. and the feeling
that perhaps there are one or two men,

like to try strangling. too.

that sum, and on this basis of valu-

ance fees for the irrigation seasonf
1916, of $4.8O per acre for 80 acre
inches. During the years 1916 to 1923,
both inclusive, the Consumers Ditch
company collected the $480 and 10
cent rate, later bringing an action in
the United States Court on the ground
that such rate was insufficient and con-
fscatory This suit brought in as par
ties all the Hartford water right own
ers and the Public Service Commission
of Washington. In 1923, at hearing
in the United States Court in Yakima,
a decree was entered setting aside the
maintenance rates established by the
Public Service Commission. Then the
Consumers Ditch company, for the ir-
rigation season of 1924, established a
maintenance fee of $500 per acre for
80 acre inches, and 20 cents per inch
for water in excess of 80 acre inches.
During the years when the various
rates of maintenance fees were in eff

Feeders Day AT
Prosser, January 20

H. P. Singleton, superintendent OF
the Irrigation Branch Experiment Sta
ton, located at Prosser, recently an
nounced that the Station will hold its
annual Feeders Day on Friday, Janu-
airy 20.
The lambs that are on feed this
winter are white face" Lincoln Merlno
wether lambs from central Oregon. Ten
lots of Is lambs each were carefully
selected for the feeding experiments
When the lambs were placed in the
feed lots they weighed about IS pounds
An eighty-day feeding period will be
completed January 16.
The feeding value of various succu-
lent crops such as silage, potatoes, ap-
pies, squash, rutabagas and carrots is
being investigated. These are fed to
individual lots as a supplement to
chopped alfalfa hay and shelled corn
A comparison Of light and heavy feed
ing of silage, potatoes and apples is
also being made. While no weights
have been taken during the feeding
period it is expected that some very
interesting data will be secured.
Singleton states that no regular pro-
gram has been planned but that vist-
tors will be welcome at any time dur
ing the day. The lambs will be in the
feed lots and data regarding the trials
this year as we'll as that of former
years will be available

might be better to hold these schools
with local talent and hold them earlier
in January but upon second thought it
was felt that since we often have
rather extreme cold spells at the time
of the hort schools, probably it would
be just as well for this year to hold
the schools at the later date.
Mr.. Vincent will be with us for just
two days of the week and will be used
in the leading truck crop communities
of the county. Mr.. Vincent, especially
in his teaching work on the college
staff, has worked largely on truck crop
production and we feel that growers of
the county will be glad to have a man
well qualified to discuss truck crop
work with them at this time. In fact,
Mr.. Vincent is the first horticulturist
that we have had who has been a
specialist in truck crops.
Other topics at the hort school will
include moth control which will be dis
cussed by Doyle Starcher, district hort
iculture inspector; home preparation
of oil sprays and which we hope to
have local grower present facts and
lead the discussion; fertilization of
both truck and fruit crops by the coun-
ty agent, and fundamentals of pruning,
which will also probably be covered
by Mr.. Vincent. We also hope to have
very definite information at the time
of the schools on the Agricultural
Credit Corporation and loans to fruit
growers.
Definite program for each school will
be worked out little later and printed
either in the press or mailed direct to
fruit growers and truck crop men.
