hero. It's every word and plot twist
are designed to give the master OF
the double-take an opportunity TO
do his tricks Some of the tricks
are a great deal funnier than the
others but there are enough OF the
better ones to keep the picture from
any too deadly let-doWn. Also serv-
ing the same purpose is the presence
of Paulette Goddard who Scampers
scantily clad through what other
wise might be dull moments in the
script. Miss Goddard also shows
an increasing skill at farce in her
latest teaming with the screens
current No. comedian.
The truths, some of which come
harder than others, which Hope
must tell to save that $4,000 bet
are fairly standard. Under the
pressure OF three associates who are
trying to force him into even one
white lie, he must tell vain, middle
aged woman that she would not look
80 years old with paper bag over
her head; that the blue-sky stock
which he is selling "stinks"; that a
picture of him in Women'S dress is
a relic of college drama days; that
his real intentions toward the other
fellows girl are to kiss her until
her ears fly off.
They are not particularly spectac-
ular truths. but Director Elliott
Nugent and his large cast work
furiously to make them seem so.
The most heavily accented gag
In the picture is that in which Hope
is robbed of every item Of clothing
that he may not escape from his
tormentors during the night. Out of
the clothing theft comes a long
sequence in which Hope, clad in a
maribou negligee. is trapped in a
dozen embarrassing predicaments

Cotton Stomp Requests

Applications for the Supplement
tary Cotton Program, sometime
known as the Cotton Stamp Pro-
gram, are being signed up now. At
the present time 239 farmers have
signed their intention sheet or ap-
plications.
We believe that every farmer
should sign one Of these sheets
showing his intended reduction since
it might be possible that he will
not plant up to his allotment or
the acreage he planted last year
In this case he would be in posi-
ton to receive his payment in
stamps for the reduction.
Should a farmer fail to sign one
of these applications before June
Is he would not qualify for stamp
payment although he might show
that he did not plant all of his al
lotment or plant up to his planted
acreage last year.

Mississippi Farm News
BY r. J. HURST,
Extension Agriculture Editor

Striking proof that Mississippi's
livestock industry is on the upward
march at an accelerated pace was
furnished the past week by the
smashing success of the 194l South
west Mississippi livestock show and
auction sale az Port Gibson when
farmers and All and FLA men,
bers sold around 1900 head of cat
tie for sS3,023.
1t was the biggest cattle sale in
the states history. Farmers can
gain added encouragement from this
historic event IS it indicates that
cattle can be made to supplement
cotton as a major source Of income.
Significant was the fact that the
cattle averaged approximately $40 a
head, or the equivalent of nearly
l 1-2 bales of cotton at 10 cents
per pound, and the total sale of
cattle was equivalent to around 1900
bales of cotton at 10 cents pound.
Not only was there more cattle
shown at Port Gibson than in any
previous year but the cattle also
showed improvement in quality, ac-
cording to livestock authorities who

didn't get. But then, neither did
Scarlet for long
The other characters were Rhett
Butler, Belle Waiting and a colored
lady exactly like the one on the
flapjack box.
Rhett, who was strangely remin-
iscent of Clark Gable, was a cross
between Jesse James and Little Boy
Blue.
Uncle Lum considered playing
Rhett but turned it down when he
found there wasn't anything but
mint in the mint juleps.
If Rhett had joined the Lost Cause
in the second reel instead Of after
intermission, the Confederacy would
have won the war.
And Belle. You'd have loved
Belle. Everybody did.
During the siege of Atlanta only
three things were running; Bellies
place, Prissy's nose and the laundry
that kept Rhett's white suits snow
white.
Melanie's baby arrived about the
same time Sherman did. Both were
equally welcome to Scarlett.
1t was, so far as our painstaking
research has revealed, the first baby
ever born in Technicolor.
Anyhow, the South lost the war
again the picture. (What could yo'
expect with a lot of Yankee pro-
ducers?) and Scarlet married Rhett
to get even with him.
Their married life was just like
sitting in hell's fire and listening to
the heavenly choir.
Finally, after Meliane died
Scarlett realized that she didn't love
Ashley but Rhett. Scarlet was as
changeable as baby's underwear.
However, Rhett had enough of
i,er foolisKness and when she told
him, he says, Frankly, my dear,
don't give damn.
Neither, by this time. did the au-
dience. They were glad to see the
end, their own having become num-
Der and somewhat harder than a
landlady's stare.
