Lowell Sherman, the actor-director,

outstanding box-office successes in
"5he Done Him Wrong" Is dead.
Confined to a hospital since
Thursday morning. Sherman died
late Friday Of pneumonia.
A chronic sufferer from laryn-
gifts, he was hardly able 10 speak
above a whisper for the past six
or eight months. Against his ply
sicians orders he reported at his
studio as usual last Thursday but
became weaker during the day and
consented 70 so TO a hospital in the
afternoon.
Sherman was born IN San Fran
cisco and was educated In the pub
lie schools OF New York. He played
In stock at Baltimore and later on
New York's Broadway where he APP
peared In The Girl Of the Golden
West"
Mrs. Leslie Carter was credited
with giving Sherman his first start
on the stage. He recently signed
the veteran actress for an impor-
tant role in the picture ne was
directing at the time OF his death.
Sherman was married three
times. his first wife being Evelyn
Booth. His second wife was Pau
line Garon, film actress. who di-
vorced him, and his third wife was

that this was not a natural con-
dition. Many OF those whose appli-
cations were refused because OF
high water table were able to OBJ
tain loans upon re-appraisal. Only
two loans have been refused upon
re-appraisal.
Because Of the early difficulties.
many who r eligible for loans
have not applied. Mr.. Crawford
said. On the other hand there are
others who cannot get loans now
because they are not doing any
thing with their property to make
Il revenue producing and therefore
acceptable collateral.
The funds out OF which the land
bank commissioner loans are being
made were provided by a special act
OF congress. II was only after a
long controversy with land bank
officials that this type Of loan be-
came available for irrigated farms.
Purpose OF this special fund is TO
prevent farmers from losing their
property through foreclosure. The
Indebtedness Is refinanced by ex-
tending maturities and lowering in
terest. the mortgagors being offer
ed federal farm mortgage bonds
which this week we're quoted at the
market price of 1920 cents on the
dollar. They have sold for as high
as S1!02. Crawford said. and are
among the best government securi-
ties because they are backed b. the
federal land banks. the federal
government and the farm properties
given as collateral.
