Reaps Crop

Some lanky farmer in the vicin-
ity of Hollywood had his entire
crop of corn harvested and husked
for him while all he had to do was
sit by and watch the fun.
On top Of that, he was paid for
the use Of his farm by the goth
Century-Fox troupe that used it
for scenes in the Jones Family
picture, Down On The Farm
now at the Temple theater
The big climax of the picture
calls for husking bee in which a
large number of contestants go
through the entire field of ripe
corn, pick it, husk 1t and throw
it all in the wagons until the en-
tire crop is in.
These scenes were scheduled for
the exact time when the corn
would be ripe and the farmer ready

to do was the actual delivering.

Moonlight Sonata
PleQses Audience

AS other audiences have done,
the one at the Lakewood theater
last night lavished garlands of
praise on Moonlight Sonata in
which Tgnace Jan Paderewski reg
listers great triumph in his only
motion picture.
This is the same picture that
drew the unreserved praise of
critics aboard and in the United
States as one Of the worlds finest
films. Truly it Is one of the finest
foreign pictures that ever en-
thralled an audience at Lake
wood.
AS a humble critic expressing
the sentiments of those who saw
the picture at its premiere here.
can only say what other critics
have said in q similar situation
that Paderewski has mastered the
piano as no one else has done.
There are many superb pianists.
hut Paderewski stands above them
all.
In spite Of his advanced years,
this venerable gentleman exhibits
an slacrity that betrays no evil
dence of his age. An admirable
trait Of the film is that il fur
nishes many close-ups Of the
pianist's hands His skilled fingers,
capable Of executing any passage
manipulate the keys with such
fecility and sureness, producing
such mellow rich tones. that a
listener would be odd indeed If
he did not lean forward and cape
in astonishment.
The picture reveals that the
reason why Psderewski does not
play much nowadays is because ne
has had a long and strenuous
career behind him, meaning that
he has appeared in over 5000
concerts. j. Z. u

Packers Report Increase
In Lard Consumption
By the Associated Press.

6y lQe ASSOCldteQ fIeSS.
CHICAGO, March 27.-The Insti-
tute of American Meat Packers re-
ported yesterday the consumption OF
lard in the United States increased
an average of about % per cent dur
ing the last six months over the
same period year ago. Exports
also were higher, but supplies have
been plentiful and prices relatively
low.
During February lard consump-
ton apparently increased more than
30 per cent over February a year
ago, the institute said.
Storage stocks of lard, which gen.
orally show seasonal increase dur
Ing February, declined per cent
during the month this year.
Lard at present is wholesaling at
"a per cent lower than year ago at
this time" the institute reported.
present wholesale prices are lower
than the average prices being paid
for live hogs.
Exports of American lard in
January this year, the latest period
for which official figures are avail
able, amounted to about 28,5O0,OOO
pounds and represented the largest
exports of lard for any month since
September, 1884. Exports of lard
during the last six months have been
approximately 81 per cent larger
than during the same period a year
ago.

What They Mean

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 27.-Marked
rise in demand for household sup
plies was forecast today in retail
circles as result of the boom in
residential building in the Middle
West and some parts of the East.
New homes, economists say, usu-
ally mean new furnishings-furni-
ture, rugs, refrigerators, vacuum
cleaners, washing machines, floor
lamps and other household items.
Sales of household supplies begged
down badly last year, and dealers
hope consumer purchases deferred
in 1888, coupled with normal re-
placement demands. will be added
stimulants to this years business.
Bearing current economic factors
in mind, dealers now predict elec-
trio refrigerator sales this year may
run Is per cent above last year,
washing machines, 10 to 80 per cent,
and vacuum cleaners, Is to 20 per
cent.
An even roster outlook is seen for
other household items. Sales of
small electrical appliances and other
gadgets are expected by some deal
ers to top last year by 40 per cent,
furniture, by 80 per cent, and rugs
and other floor covering, by around
IS per cent.
