Ann is one of the best liked girls

She's been in pictures since she was

her. Therefore, she never bothered
to sell sex as sex. She sold normal

But normality didn't. pay off in
newspaper headlines. Or those sub

are the delight of the more glamor-

Good Manners

Broadway Hit
'Damask Cheek Also
Distinguished by

By Laurence Perry,

s. North American Newspaper Alliance.
# NEW YORK-In "The Damask
Cheek" now seen at the playhouse,
Dwight Deere Wiman presents a
genuine comedy of good manners
which, II you hold q brief for good
manners, you must not fail to see.
For you will find yourself in poised
and very agreeable company.
The authors, John Van Druten
and Lloyd Morris, introduce us to
gentlefolk who know how to enter
q drawing room with grace and i'm
pressement; who negotiate teacups
and glassware with careless aplomb;
whose suavity is enlivened by
piquancy; their savoir faire pointed
by occasional lapses with polite
recklessness. Where, among them,
wit does not prevail, you are regaled
always with dry humor and not in
. frequent turning of epigrams.
Deft Comedy Touches.
Perhaps, at this point, I ought to
: warn you that in certain degree
these polite people, politely en-
$ vironed, will have to atone for such
shortcomings in dramatic conSiS-
Z tency and continuity as are likely
to be found when plays are set in
( drawing rooms. After all, one can
! not have everything and, to be per-
4 fectly just, these defects which
relate to plotting and not at all to
9 the writing of the piece, are of
minor consideration. They were,
J at least, to me.
! John Van Druten, as you know,
has the deftest of touches in comedy
: and with the assistance of that
i learned scholar, critic and historian,
Lloyd Morris, we have an authentic
: picture of an older metropolitan

Z. Probably it is as tedious to read,
as it is to write in any considerable

Suffice it, then, to say that to the

tion comes a distant relative. an
Englishwoman of 80. who has been

NOTICE POULTRYMEN

A meeting of interest to all poul.
trymen has been scheduled for
Thursday evening, Jan. Is, in the
M. & M. high school building at 8
O'Clock. D. D. Meyer, extension
specialist in poultry from o. S. U.,
will be present to discuss with the
poultrymen of this county, problems
in connection with this industry.
The United States government
has called for huge increase in the
production of eggs to help meet de
fense needs. Morgan county has
been assigned a goal which makes
it necessary for poultrymen of this
county to produce 1870 more eggs
in 1912 than they would in 1871.
Higher feed costs and a scarcity of
labor are both handicaps that face
poultrymen as they try to achieve
this goal. Good egg prices will
tend to counter-balance these ill ef-
fects. Ways in which poultrymen
may solve some of these problems
will be discussed at this meeting.
Come and bring your poultry prob
lens with you. 1t is just possible
that we might be able to help you
solve these problems.

SENATOR GENE AUTRY?

In Oklahoma, where politics is
wild and famboyant and afflicted
with dementia praecox and schizo-
phrenia, new and even more care
free note is being sounded with r,l-
mors that Gene Autry, guitar
strumming movie cowboy, may run
for the senate.
The rumor undoubtedly scares
the pants right off the "Rover
boys of Senator Josh Lee. Senator
Lee was elected six years ago by
telling funny stories all over the
state. He comes up for reelection
next year, and it has been assumed
all along that he would win in a
walk from anybody who faced him.
But that reckoning did not include
Cowboy Autry.
In most states a Hollywood star
might not be taken seriously, but
in Oklahoma it's different The
radio wrangler and the klieg-light
cowhand are Indigenous to Oklaho-
ma. Look at Will Rogers. Look at
Tom Mix. Look at a whole series
of lesser figures. Gene Autry has
a calling that is recognized by Okla
homans. Moreover, he can qualify
for the senate. He is more than 80
years old, and he is an Oklahoma
citizen, owning big ranch near the
town recently named Gene Autry in
honor of him.
The fact that $4,000 people gath
cred to listen to him when he was
present at the naming of that town,
and the fact that he attracted un-
precedented crowds when he toured
the state in behalf of defense bonds,
proves his popularity. He has been
named deputy sheriff in Carter
county, and honorary mayor of
Gene Autry.
1t fairly curls the toes of the Josh
Lee adherents to think of having
him going around over the state
with that guitar and that horse,
and grooming to the sovereign vot-
ers It would be devastating. w.
Lee O'Daniel, the hippodroming
senator of Texas, would be an ama-
teur by comparison.
But Autry thus far has not con-
firmed the rumor he may run.
Maybe a senator's $4,000 a year
looks too much like chicken feed TO |
him. Gene Autry sometimes gets
as much as $4,000 a week for his
services. Anyway, it is causing
some violent speculation, because
of qualifications thing |
like a guitar can play a very potent
part in Oklahoma politics.-Kansas

not apply to subscriptions in this or
adjoining counties where the rate
will remain as at present, $3.50 per

FARM MACHINERY REPAIR

The Importance of farmers check
dering repair parts at once was en-
phasized at a meeting held in the
county AAA office, Monday after
noon. This meeting was held under
the sponsorship of the county
USDA. Farm Defense Board, Frank
l.. Carr, chairman. In attendance
were the machinery dealers in the
county, vocational agriculture
teachers, county AAA committee,
farm security supervisor, county
agent and representative farmers.
Virgil Overhold, extension spe-
cialist in agricultural engineering
from 0. S. U. was present and dis
cussed farm machinery and repair
parts. According to Overholt the
Importance of farmers carefully
checking their machinery and or
dering their needed repair and re-
placement parts at once cannot be
overemphasized. New equipment
will not be available in the amounts
needed by farmers and repair parts
will only be available that farmers
demand Labor shortages plus
higher farm prices and the need
for increased farm production for
defense needs only serve to make
this task more important.
The Morgan county farm defense
board is sending each farmer a
machinery check sheet to aid him
in this work. Vocational agricul-
ture departments in the county are
cooperating in making available
their facilities for farm repair
schools. The extension service in
cooperation with county implement
dealers intend to conduct machin-
cry schools in different parts of the
county.
Farmers get your orders in at
once and help national defense.
