Anna Stem Loses $4,000 Week Job

Anna Stem parts company with
Producer Sam Goldwyn and will,
so the rumorS state, soon ally
with Columbia pictures.
Several reasons are advanced
for the rupture between Goldwyn
and his high priced star, reputed
to be getting $4,000 week. The
right one wasn't mentioned in the
Hollywood dispatches which is
that the Anna STEM pictures made
no money for Sam Goldwyn and

MaughamS THE Constant Vile.
Playwright Vaughan is a master of the
epigram and a past master of polite drawing
room speech. In a year of Sundays I doubt
# you would confront as glib and as clever a
group of conversationalists as he places in
John Middleton's town house on Hartley
Street, London. They settle a domestic muddle
in which a quadrangle instead of the more
familiar triangle, motivates the action of the
characters, and they settle it in a most un-
usual way.
This Constance Middleton (played by Ethel

Domestic Quadrangle
tomizes as charm.

Its story deals with the wife
Of a prominent London society
surgeon. Their home life is placid
and happy until gossip begins to
work. It seems that Sir John
Middleton is having an intrigue
with his wife's best friend, Marie
Louise. The catty sister of Con-
stance Middleton is all for telling
her about Sir Johns perfidy but
eventually the knowing wife dis
covers the relation.
Uncanny in it's cleverneSS is the
manner in which the playwright
unravels this tangle. Constance
Middleton abhors scenes and
Scorns the conventional retalia-
ton or revenge. What she does,
involves the quiet torture of her
husband, the ironical ridicule OF
her rival, and the procurement OF
financial independence that pro-
vided a daring solution OF her
heart problem.
Women who see this play will
debate whether the sex is so con-
stituted as to work out such a
calm and ultra modern method
of playing tit for tat. But they
will place a little bet on her to
win in the end for Constance was
too smart for SNUG and SELF
satisfied husband.

Attempt To Sign Twenty Percent

The annual Farm Bureau men,
bership drive opened in most Min
nesota counties this week with
members pledged to try to sign up
not less than 20 percent of the
county's farmers. Although the
starting date depends on local
conditions, most of the County
Farm Bureaus are now set to go.
Each county campaign will be car
ried on under the direction of a
county manager, who will spend a
day or so in each township, help
ing local teams of volunteers to
get their farm-to-farm canvass I'M
der way.
The value of organization has
been proved during the past two or
three years by the accomplishments
of organized farmers. The Farm
Bureau and allied organizations
brought about passage of the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Act which is
increasing farm income. The Farm
Credit Act, which reduced interest
rates, granted mortgage morator-
iums and extended payment over a
3O-year period, follows closely the
1892 recommendations of the A
merican Farm Bureau Federation.
In many ways, within the past
three years, farmers have received
very directly the fruits of organic
ed effort.
During the next few months the
Farm Bureau, locally, will give
much of it's time to the rural cleo
trification program, in addition to

Democratic Dinner
To Be Held Monday
Joseph Wolf, Staples, viii BE Hon.
or Guest-Chief Justice John
p. Davaney, Speaker

Plans have been completed for
the Roosevelt democratic dinner
which will be held Monday even
ing at $50 o'clock in St. Mary's
church parlors in Long Prairie, at
which the guest of honor will be
Joseph Wolf, national democratic
committee man from Minnesota.
Henry F. Printz will preside as
POSTMASTER at the banquet at
which Chief Justice John p. De-
vaney, of st. Paul, will be one of
the important speakers. Mr.. De-
vaney but recently returned from
a trip to Europe and his address is
expected to deal at least in part
with impressions gained from his
trip abroad.
Also present will be Carl Henne-
mann, of st. Cloud, prominently
identified with the younger demo-
cratic movement. 1t is expected he
will be accompanied by a large
delegation of st. Cloud democrats
and it is likewise thought there will
be considerable number from st.
Paul who will accompany Chief
Justice Devaney and Mr.. Wolf.
The program to be given at the
banquet will include a vocal solo
by Miss Alice Gilbertson as well as
a violin solo by c. J. O'Donnell.
Large delegations are expected
from nearby points and the central
part of the state will be well re-
presented. While Mr.. Wolf is a
long time county resident this will
be his first formal visit here. More
than 400 persons are expected to
attend the banquet which will be
served by st. Mary's Ladies Aid.

Ghost Stones

The British museum, probably
the greatest treasure house in the
world, is constantly receiving from
every quarter of the globe strange
and often beautiful products Of
mans skill and ingenuity all down
the ages. Many Of these belong to
dead civilizations, but large num-
bers illustrate the customs and
fetishes of savage races. Recent
acquisitions of the latter kind are
two stone tables from the Ngalia
and Loritza tribes Of central Aus
tralia, usually reckoned the least
advanced Of the human species.
These slabs are called Churinga,
and are believed to contain the
spirits of men. One of them bears
circles and symbols which tell how

Ngapatjimba, few into the air and,
coming down as men, entered this
stone. The other describes wild

Wild cormorants are usually

Wild cormOrants are usually
caught with decoys. AS soon as
a flock of wild birds alight near
'decoys the fishermen try to ensnare
them with long bamboo sticks on
the end of which they place a
sticky substance, states a CORES
pondent in the Chicago Tribune.
The cormorants caught in this
manner are then trained. They are
given swimming lessons once each
day. AS they are apt to bite peo-
pie until they are tanned, their
,beaks are bound with straw string.
f. In time they are released in shall
low waters and, with the older
birds to teach them, begin their
education. To prevent them from
escaping they are tied with a cord
attached to their necks. It is
,painstaking task to get the younger
birds to initiate the older ones, par
tticularly in the matter Of bringing
up their catch without harming
the fish.
; When they get through this stage
Of their education they are taught
to fish at night. Most cormorants
are frightened by the light Of
torches and it often takes one or
two years before the training Of a
bird is completed.
