A FARM WOMAN'S WOES

The arrival Of the warm
season, summer with it's sun
shine, flowers and vacations
Of carefree days, may mean
a lot to some people but to
the avarge farm wife it only
means a lot Of additional woe
that no other season OF the
year brings her.
The farm wife can't reckon
her time in so many straight
hours Of labor, with Satur-
day afternoons and Sundays
off. Nor can she, and here
is where her greatest woe
comes in, even count on Sum
day as a day of rest with
her family, a day of peace
and quietude about the house,
with maybe a few hours to
read and a few hours to
spend in social conversation
with neighbors from nearby
farms who come in for a lit
tie while along in the after
noon. So far as the farm
woman is concerned all of
that is "out". Pass most
rural residents nowadays on
O Sunday and you'll quickly
see why. Lolling about in
the yard and playing all over
the barnyard you'll see from
a half-dozen to a score or
more men, women and chill
dren, and the two or three

HUNTING PUBLICITY

ance records seem far more
interested in seeing their
names in the papers than
in the stunt itself. Just why
a sane person should want
such publicity is more than
most of us can understand,
but they continue to dust our
pages with their various
accomplishments, and prob
ably will continue to act until
the newspapers quit printing
anything about the stunts.
This will put a stop to them
for they thrive on the pub

THE FISH HOG

the most popular of all our
outdoor sports, and is en-
titled to greater protection
than it ever had. AS the
conservation forces must now
operate they will continue to
be imposed upon. About the
chief hope right now, we are
told, is that a few sparks of
sporting decency find their
way to the hearts of the fish
hogs and that they return to
the days Of good old honest
sport, and fish clean. And
even that seems too much to
hope for.

 By this intensive promotional campaign which will deliver more than two hundred and fifty million salmon sales messages to consumers during 1888, we hope to restore sal mon movement to the rate at which it was progressing following the big 1886 pack MT Buschmann said.
 The intensive localized drive through newspapers, will be sharply peaked during Lent and in the early summer, according to the announc- cd plans.

Canned Salmon Is Going to BG
 Well Advertised
Greatest Drive in History of Industry Is to Be
 Launched

With more than IUur million cas- es of the 1887 canned salmon pack still unsold on the first of the year, the Canned Salmon Industry is launching the greatest advertising drive in it's history in an effort to cut the huge supply before next packing season.
 Supplementing the Industry's magazine advertising. newspapers in 42 cities today carried the first large size advertisement in a cam paign which will run through the winter and spring months. Outdoor billboard posters in full color in 35 cities will deliver canned sal- mons message of nutrition and economy to millions of shoppers Ra- dio announcements and home econ omies programs will also carry sal mons story to listeners in A lead ing market areas.
 August Buschmann, president of the Association of Pacific Fisher ies and member of the industry advertising committee in discussingI the new drive declared: This great advertising drive will put canned salmon before more people than ever before The grocers of the country are showing great in- terest in this campaign and are planning to fully cooperate in nov ing the great volume of canned sal mon still on hand.
 The increased prices made nec- essary this year by higher produc- tion costs brought about a drastic slow down in the movement of AL aska's canned salmon" MT. Busch mann explained. The business recession in many parts of the country has also had it's effect on commodity movement and salmon has suffered along with other pro- ducts.

WAR FEATURE
 ENDS TODAY
 AT CAPITOL
They Gave Him a Gun Features Tone, George
 and Spencer Tracy

Spencer Tracy demonstrates his phenomenal ability for the fourth successive venture in They Gave Him a Gun" which closes at the Capitol Theatre tonight.
 This is the Metro Goldwyn-May- CT adaptation of the best seller by William Joyce Cowen, former sol dier who expressed his hatred of war in the novel.
 Directed by w. s. Van Dyke II. the film has Tracy, Gladys George and Franchot Tone in the princi- pal roles. The supporting cast in- cludes Edgar Dearing, Cliff Ed wards, Mary Treen and others. The war scenes were filmed on the vast 500-acre tract where Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer made The Good Earth.
 The story deals with two men ano a woman. Tracy is circus barker who enlists in the regulars. Tone is a small-town clerk who finds himself in the army and up in the front lines. A gun gives him cour- age. Gladys George is a Red Gross nurse.
 When Tracy is reported missing she marries Tone, out of pity. Tracy escapes from an enemy prison camr and the trio meets again in civi life, with the war ended. Familiar now with the use of gun, the weakling has become a gangster Tracy tries to save him but fails A police bullet gets in ahead of him
 As a story and picture to reflect the evils of war and it's aftermath "They Gave Him a Gun" is a pow erful medium. But it is more thar that It affords Tracy and his col leagues an opportunity for first rate artistry, which none of them has overlooked.

 Act 2 found the Colonel daily denying Ruins requests, pointing out what an ingrate the Babe was and intimating there were lo5 of other guys he could get. Ruth. in Florida, came in now and then with Cffec ctive off-stage bitter whispers
 The Happy Ending
 Act found the set changed to sunny Florida scene. By chance Ruppert drifted to the Yankees training camp. Quite by accident he and Ruth met under the palms. And, by strange coincidence, pho Itographers and sports writers gath cred around the same table. Sud- denly the atmosphere mad cleared smiles wreathed the faces of the former antagonists. Ruth and Rup- bert scrawled their signatures on a contract under the flashing of camera bulbs. Ut mattered not that the real contract had been signed weeks before in New YorkD Ruth grabbed bat and rushed out to the Yankee camp
 Hickey and Dean inserted some new wisecracks to brighten the script. From Florida Dean flung lcharge after charge at Hickey. From St. Louis Hickey replied that Dean was a dumb yokel and he didn't care whether he played or not Dean injected another angle by applying for retirement.
 Ruppert sneaked in new stunt last year, too, by buying Babe Dahl- Igren from Boston and threatening to have him replace Gehrig But, like the Ruth-Ruppert interpreta- ton, the Hickey and Gehrig- Ruppert versions climaxed in scenes of love and kisses.
 Maybe the cast this year will change word or two and slip Big Apple routine into the show

 Bells experience shows no prev alence of "gin marriages"

 Bell assures the public he'll con- tinue the low rate 'as long as there is a demand for this sort of ser- vice"

MANY ACTORS STAGE AN OLD
 g. ACT PLAY
By DILLON GRAHAM AP Feature Service Writer

NEW YORK, Jan 25.-That fla miliar tear-jerking tragi-comedy, which for years featured George Herman Ruth, is being dusted off fer it's annual spring presentation under the citrus trees of Florida.
 It's dialogue and gestures are familiar to every baseball fan but, like the long running Tobacco Read" it still pleases the public.
 There is some doubt as to which club will produce it, and who will play hero
 AS long as his canary-stem legs carried him around, Ruth played the lead and did it well, supported by Colonel Jake Ruppert as villain. Then the Cardinals put on the show, with Dizzy Dean drawing warm support and misses going to Branch Hickey. Last spring it was a double-header for Ruppert came back with Lou Gehrig essaying the old Ruthian role
 Dean sort of sacrificed his usual role when he quit baseball last summer. He might not be the box office draw he has been.
 Gehrig could go again. And Rup- pert might substitute Joe Di Maggie or even Red Ruffing. The Cardinals are not out of the picture, for Rickey could retalate with Joe Medwick

 Ruth and Ruppert not only wrote the dialogue, but arranged the scenery and divided the play into three acts.
 It went something like this:-

Studios Use Any Means
 To Redch the Right End
By ROBBIN COONS

| HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Jan. 25.- They are filming three endingS to "The Baroness and the Butler" the William Powell-Annabella film They aren't concerned with how the story ends-whether the hero inc shall marry the hero or shall | kill herself or take vanilla. That's all settled. What bothers them is whether Annabella should spill cof- fee on Powell, and if so, just how much coffee shall she spill. It's the tag" that counts-the final scene. Producers and writers huddle fiercely on that particular portion of production, often take straw votes among themselves and their studio workers to decide on | it.
 The fade-out invariably leaves a strong impression on the fans. If fits a good impression, they're sup posed to be more prone to tell their friends about the picture. Often now think back-a good tag" will give you a happy impression of a picture that wasn't nearly as good | as you left the theatre thinking it was.
 l Without going into exhaustive research on the matter, the tag" that strikes me as most nearly per- feet for the film it concluded was that on Tt Happened One Night La scene in which neither Claud- cite Colbert nor Clark Gable ap- Ipeared. Tritest of tags, of course, is the fade-out kiss, but variations of this, smartened and frightened, never fail to win approval.
 The practice of filming two story endings to a picture is still com- mon. The idea behind 1t is that a city audience can take" an un- happy ending, whereas the small town and rural fan wants his screen life sugared. In "The We'd ding Night" Anna Sten died for the classes, but lived and loved for the masses. Showing how much difference it sometimes makes, the picture itself died for both. Lucky Dog
 Related success story: A year ago he was an extra, working around the lots and eager for any bone of encouragement The bones were flew, and he went back home-to a Eranch near Faith, s. D.-determ- ined to forget about Hollywood and
 the disillusion it brought.
 Not long ago, his pastoral life was interrupted by telegram from
 Columbia Pictures. The stu d o needed him for a major role in Hand Rush." He came back-to the dignity of success and adula- Ition, his faith restored.
