winter scene, even for Hollywood;
because they're actually using four
kinds Of snow. es
The corriflakeS are for falling
flakes, being the only thing that
behaves realistically and isn't dam
gerously dusty. Powdered gypsum,
which has just the right sparkle
for fresh=fallen snow, covers the
large yard by the ton. But gypsum
is no good for tracks, SO IN the area
where a child plays, and along the
path where people walk, a thick,
soft mixture Of dry soda and plaster
has been placed. This makes fine
footprints.
But the boy, Buddy Swami, must
throw snowballS, and none of the
synthetics is any good for that. So
real ice has been ground and crush
ed into snow, and couple of bar
rels fit are kept ready on the
-sidelines.
THE HORSE WAS
SCARED TOO
There's a scene in South Of
SHez" where Lee Patrick is sup
posed to register frightened sur
prise at the sudden appearance
Of George Tobias while she's
standing ON a porch with George
Brent. The latter had ridden to
the house, and his horse Is stand
ing in camera range.
Lew Seller, the director, wanted
Miss Patrick to be genuinely start
led, so he secretly arranged for
prop man to fire a revolver at
the instant the actress was sup
posed to see Tobias. There wasn't
any dialog, so the scene could be
fimIed without sound.
1t worked fine, Miss Patrick was
scared all right, and the director
was delighted. Not unit l next
morning, watching the rushes, did
he notice that Brent's horse also
was frightened by Tobias appear.

1t wasn't bad idea, but he knew
the Republican incumbent had the
seat cinched. So he changed his
registration and won the Demo-
cratic nomination. He was elected
in the landslide for President
Roosevelt.
PERENNIAL
CANDIDATE
Carpenter almost didn't know
what to do with the Office, but he
trotted off to Washington and took
his place with the nations other
lawmakers. While he was away, his
business was neglected, and he
found it wasn't SO much fun being
a 'little fish" in the national pud-
die anyway. He came home in 1894
and sought the governorship, but
was defeated by the present COVER
nor and U. S. senate nominee, r. L.
Cochran.
In 1886 he won the nomination
for U. S. senate and was pitted
against the "rebel" Independent,
George Norris. President Roosevelt
this time proved Carpenters undo
ing and Endorsed the veteran Nor
riS.
Undaunted by another defeat,
Carpenter was back at it in 1888,
this time losing a round for the
lieutenant governorship. This
spring, however, he was successful
in the Democratic primary for gov
ernor. and his chances for election
probably hinge on the turn Of the
national ticket in the state.
Even if he meets political defeat
again this November, Terry Car
penter still will have his two-nlil-
lion dollar business. His expensive,
promotion studded campaign he
can just charge up to advertising.

Our National Debts-Then and Today

National debts of various periods of our nation s
existence are interesting when compared with the
debt as assumed today, and the budget now under
consideration in Congress, well the statutory
limit of As billion dollars which established at a
previous session.
At the end of Washngtons administration the
debt was about "a million dollars; at the Of the
war of 1912 it 127 Million; at the end of the
Mexican War SO million; at the end of the Civil War
2,67S million; at the end of the World War; % 976
million, and at the end of the present Roosevelt
ministraton it will be about A. 938 million dollars if
the Presidents recommended budget is not exceeded
Aside from partisan considerations, the situation
in Congress with respect to appropriations is most
interesting, and members have been placed in an
awkward position by the proposed budget which
recommends national debt almost up to the statu-
tory limit set by prior session.
To keep within that limit President Roosevelt
has not made allowance for appropriations as large
the legislators would like to make in in
stances. To increase these appropriations would
make it necessary to pass law to raise the debt
limit raise taxes and both would be unpopular in
election year.
1t though the President has adroity
evaded responsibility for the to be taken and
he has placed it squarey upon the shoulders of Con-
gress Possibly of the members sorry they
established debt limit which, if things continue
at present will without doubt have to be raised That
of course would not be popular move with cam
paign in the offng.

FARMERS OF TOMORROW
BY Rev. Urban Baer
Here is a book by a well-known
liberal and an outstanding farm
labor leader His diagnosis of the
ills of our economic system in gen.
eral, and the ills of agriculture in
particular, is direct, forceful, and
fearless. The author draws back
the curtain of time and exposes
the hideousness of greed and ex-
ploitation. The wealth of conven-
iently arranged material in this
book Is a tribute to the authors
ability. The program Of recon
struction which the author sug.
gests is American in the truest
sense of the word. This is a book
which promises to be widely dis
discussed. 1t is highly recommended
not only for farmers but for citi-
zens in all walks of life, and for
discussion groups, high schools and
colleges, and reference purposes.
