BLACKSBURG, Va, June 19.-The
eleventh annual convention Of the
Virginia Association Of Future Farm
ers of America closed here last night
with achievement night"
It was announced that r. James
Via of Ashland was elected president
for the coming year. He also placed
second in the public-Speaking con-
test.
Judging teams from Chilhowie,
Gladys, Sugar Grove and Wicomico
took first honors.
Other officers elected we're Earl
Shihett, North River, vice president;
Warren Good, Mount Jackson, Sec
retary; Woodrow W. Pruitt, Chilhowie,
treasurer; Charles Sabo, Emporia, re-
porter; DR.. Walter S. Newman, State
supervisor, executive secretary-treas-
urer; Prof. H C. GrosecloSe, v. P. I.
adviser, and Robert Russell, Wicom-
leo Church, Claude Swanson, Callans,

the only poor thing about it." And
Mrs. Smiths right.
MANY a film owes its success to
word of mouth report. Mr..
Deeds" was such a picture, and THE
Informer" would probably have sky
rocketed to more immediate fame If
its cast had included a better known
player then at that time was Victor
McLaglen.
A picture of this type has also a
right to be prouder of itself than the
films that come to town a blaze Of
publicity. There is, for instance, q
certain star today who Is so drowned
in adjectives before any one knows
what either the star or the adjectives
are about, that she is fast losing the
ground that she gained in the old
days when she was a light, pretty
comedienne. We even heard an au-
dience at a downtown theater boo"
the other day when announcement
was made on the screen that she was
coming to town.
Fury" then gains by word Of mouth
while other films wilt. While it
hasn't the ageleSs appeal of Show
Boat" or the rollicking good humor
of "Mr. Deeds" it undoubtedly
agrees with the better audiences and
the fact that it is gaining day by day
in popularity is surely feather in
its cap.
Other than the two featured play
ers, the picture is dominated by Wal
ter Abel, a young actor who is not
generally known to film audiences,
but who is one of the smoother play
actors in this or any other land. In
this case it is his hands, rather than
his face, that are his fortune. AS q
fair and hard-hitting lawyer defend
ing a man against mob violence, he
does great credit to his profession.
Many a lawyer would probably like
to have pair Of hands like that.

tainment) and she told little Willie to
stay at home (Which of course he
didn't do). Aud gradually as the
celluloid dynamo began to dawn on
her as the fury of its message Seeped
into the corners Of her mind, as
Spencer Tracy looked grimmer and
grimmer and tears spouted like foun-
tains out of Sylvia Sidney's aching
eyes, Mrs. Smith realized that she
had made no mistake-that the mis-
take she made was not to have gone
to see it before.
"EURY" is an example Of Holly
l. woods coming of age. 1t Is
grim, it is human, it is violent, but
above all it is not beyond reason. And
it is played in its entirety by one Of
the shrewdest casts yet invented by a
studio and directed so expertly by Mr.
Lang that there is never, as the legend
goes, "a dull moment"
AS an example of this we remind
YOU of the mob attack that is made
on the prison and how Mr.. Lang
instead of following it with his
camera precedeS it, so that the audi
ence is made to feel part Of the
fast-moving parade. We also remind
you of that moment when, towards
the end of the film, Sylvia Sidney,
upon learning that Tracy is alive,
goes to see him in his shabby quar-
ters. The door opens and she stands
there-but you never see her. Lang
dramatizes the action by focusing
the camera on Tracy's face.
Everything is right except the end
ing. Why could Mr.. Lang think OF
such a trite "finis" when he had gone
for so long and so Splendidly through
his various other scenes? How many
times have hero and heroine clinched
in a courtroom?

took her husband and Willie (who had

WARNER GIVES
PA|DVACATI0N

CHICAGO, H., July 22.-The
Stewart Warner Corporation and
its subsidiaries are inaugurating a
program Of annual vacations with
pay for factory employees, Joseph
e. Otis, jr., president, announced
The 1886 program calls for each
factory employe who has been in
the employ Of the company for one
year, or more, to be given one
weeks vacation with pay.
Due to difficulties In staggering
production, all vacations for fac
tory employees will be given at one
time in the Stewart-Warner and
Alemite Corporation factory units.
These two divisions will close down
on the evening Of July 81 for in
ventory, resuming production on
Monday, August 3 with a skeleton
force Of those employees who are
not entitled to q vacation, and
will again resume full production
on Monday, August 10, when the
vacation period is over.
The radio division will continue
in full operation during the vaca-
ton period due to large orders for
shipment which are on hand at
the beginning Of the heavy produc-
ton season in this division.

A strong contra-seasonal de-
mand for nearly all products,
coupled with the greater firmnesS
in prices than has been in evil
dence since the period Of the MIRA
code, gives the steel industry as
surance of the most satisfactory
midsummer operations in years,
according to Iron Age.
While the current high rate Of
production, which this week the
Iron Age estimates at II per cent,
is reducing the heavy hacklogS
that were partly built up during
June, the well-SuStained July de-
mand is raising high hopes that
August output will fall only mod
erately below that of this month.
Purchases by automobile manufac-
turers for 1897 models are counted
upon next month to take up some
of the slack that will result from
completion Of orders that were
booked prior to the July 1 price
advance.
The increase Of two percentage
points in the steel ingot rate this
week is accounted for partly by
resumption Of production at the
Portsmouth (Ohio) works Of the
Wheeling Steel Corporation, which
was affected by labor troubles,

and the starting up Of the National
Tube Company plant at Lorain,
Ohio, after q short period for
vacations and repairs. Some in
dividual units Of the industry are
operating at well over 80 per cent,
the summary points out.
A striking feature Of the present
steel situation is the pressure that
is being brought to bear on mills
to speed up deliveries, which ap-
plies even on steel bought at lower
prices in June with the under
standing that shipments would be
made at the convenience Of the
mills. The insistence upon quicker
shipments and the willingness Of
buyers to place new tonnage with
out quibbling as to price convinceS
the steel trade that nearly all Of
the current steel output is going
into immediate consumption, while
the widespread character of the
buying indicates that general bust
ness possibly has proceeded far
ther in the recovery cycle than
had been generally believed.
