Failed on Stage
It is possible to cite a score of
cases where names are up in the
glittering lights and yet the bene-
ficiary of this glare and promi-
nence couldn't make the grade
with a good stock company.
Ruby Keeler, for instance, is a
sweet girl and q clever little tap
dancer with youth, figure and
vitality. AL Jolson's money and
influence got her the opportunity
to be a ziegfeld star, but she was
well aware that she couldn't fill
the spot and so were the majority
of the New York dramatic critics.
In Hollywood such talents as she
possesses are in demand and so
she is on the verge of what Holly
wood calls stardom without being
called upon to display much in
the way Of acting.
I have never seen Mary Pick
ford give what could be called a
superb piece of acting since the
advent of talking pictures. It is

SMALL FARMER
RUINED BY AAA,
SURVEY SHOWS
By Labor Research Association

By Labor Research Association
Advices from Farm Research,
Inc, show that Roosevelt's pro-
gram for the farmers is operating
against the interests of rank and
file farmers, and rot for them,b as
"New Deal" campaigners claim.
(See also Chapter VI on Farm
ers in the United States" in Labor
Fact Book II by Labor Research
Association.)
In this connection the following
facts relating to the position of
the farmers should be stressed:
~ In 1884, it is estimated,
tenant farmers will constitute AZ
per cent, or nearly half of the to-
tai farming population, as COM
pared with 48 per cent in 1920
and AZ per cent in 1880.
(2) Although farm values de-
clined 81 per cent between 1920
and 1888, the annual tax rent and
interest load of farmers remains
in 1884 at over $2,0O0,O0O,000,
This amount is equal to nearly
half of the farmers gross income
(3) The Roosevelt administra-
ton points to a billion dollar In
crease in farm income for 1881
over 1888. Some "a per cent o.
AAA benefits" to farmers, how
ever, are gobbled up by farm
creditors for taxes, rents, equip
ment and fertilizer bills, and in
terest. Nor does this alleged bill
lion dollar increase in farm incom
offset the five billion dollar los
from drought alone.
az Forced sales in 1888, tn
first year of the "New Deal,
amounted to 81 out Of every 100
farms, as compared with az out O
every 1000 farms in 1892.
