Drought to Cost American
Taxpayer Sum Around
S2,OOO,0 900, 900.

bY UutJeO Pf6SS
CHICAGO, June 9.-Danger of a
national famine, a drought-born
specter unlaid until rains soaked
northwestern farms, has been
averted. The drought, however
will cost American taxpayers and
consumers staggering sum-con-
servatively around $4,000, 900
in relief funds and increased food
prices.
Economic consequences of the
year long drought are entirely in
calculable, agricultural Statisticlans
and economists said today.
Ten million members Of farm
families in fifteen states have been
reduced almost to restitution
Country trade communities already
are feeling a pinch which will grow
increasingly severe for at least
twelve months. Livestock herds
and forage reserves have been de-
pleted, Entomologists fear great
plague next year of grasshopperS
and chinch bugs, born OF an ideal
breeding season. s
Housewife Must Pay
Much of the cost will be assessed
from food budgets of the American
housewife. Close to $4,000, 900
must be paid directly by taxpayers
in special relief funds.
Reports assembled today from
fifteen states by the United Press
showed that a shortage of cereal,
dairy and vegetable products al
ready has materially increased the
cost of living for the average family.
A Kansas City wholesale grocery
firm revealed that stocks of canned
vegetables have fallen millions of
cans below normal. Many Gamers
have withdrawn from production
because of inability to obtain raw
materials. Orders from jobbers
have been refused outright.
Prices Show Increase
A comparison of prices in Chi
cago retail grocery chain on March
and June revealed that a can
of corn which sold on the former
date at cents now costs II cents.
A box of oatmeal which formerly
sold at cents now is 10 cents. Milk
has been raised from 8 to 9 cents
Q quart. Butter jumped from "a
ents to % cents.
THE increase is uniform in vege-
tables and cereals, as we'll as al
dairy products" an executive of the
firm said. I'VE expect prices to &C
higher after present warehouse
stocks are exhausted"
His opinion was backed by the
Minnesota department of agricul-
ture. Experts of the department
agreed that the drought "undoubt-
eddy will result in higher food prices
particularly in grain lines, beef
butter products and poultry"
Fund Asked Conservative
A state-by-state analysis of prob
able relief needs attributable to the
drought in the sixteen most stricken
states showed that $525, 100000 asked
by President Roosevelt for that pur-
pose probably is a conservative esti-
mate. Illinois alone, for example
has asked $1,750,000 from the fed
eral government for thirty days re.
lief.
Estimates made by state author
tiles showed that Colorado will need
$18,500,00O in the next year; Okla
homa, $2,500,000; Texas, $3,600,000;
Kansas, $3,5Oo,00O; Missouri, $4,000
600.
Relief directors of other states
said their figures would run much
higher, particularly in the north
west, but were unable to do better
thar guess at the amounts at this
time.

Wausau Stays
At Cayety

The holiday show at the Gayety
Is unusual in that Midnight
Capers," the current attraction,
has three ace comedians and a
feminine contingent that has not
been surpassed this season. That
blonde flame, Kinda Wausau,
shares top honors with Wilma
Joszy. In addition there are
Joan Dare, Dolores Green, Helen
Rogers and Charby Bonneau, any
one of which would be outstand,

That old time burlesque trouper.

by Eddie Lloyd, well-known and

ences, and Billy Jones, who pre-

which goes very well.
Miss JosZy scores very heavily
with her act and Joan Dare and
Dolores Green were warmly ap-
plauded. All are exceedingly good
looking. Miss Green, with the
proper guidance, and good build
up, can go far in burleSque.
There are a number of scenes,
some staged lavishly, that are
worthy of special note. The
Dance of the Clocks, Growing
the Queen, the Land of Oranges
and the Ballet of Marble linger
in the memory.
Miss Wausau, as usual, is sen.

has some very close competition

Broadway Bill" by and large,
is the best race track picture we
have ever seen. It is more real
in that the characters you meet
in this film act and talk like
flesh and blood. And the film is
rich in many fine character de-
lineations.
The real punch in this picture,
however, comes in the great race
scene. The picture is built up to
this scene and in the running of
the race suspense reaches a point
where it is almost painful. In fact,
this pictured, staged race raised
the temperature Of this reviewer
several degrees higher than it
had ever been at the race track.
Warner Baxter is given a fine
role and he has rarely appeared
to better advantage. AS the man
who couldn't be satisfied with a
humdrum everyday existence, he
offers a characterization of out
standing merit.
Myrna 10y, playing the part OF
the girl with similar instincts,
gives us plenty of heart appeal.
These stars are ably supported
by a very notable cast including
such Hollywood names as Walter
Connolly, Helen Vinson, Clarence
Muse, Lynne Overman, frankie
Darro, Margaret Hamilton and
Claude Gillingwater.
The production was directed by
Frank Capra and displays his mas
terly technique all the way
