last week, weeping Historically, and
announced she had Just left her

were back IN each others arms, each
protesting undying love for the
ether.
Il was all very touching and very

to Dakota with his young bride,
Vera Hruba Ralston. He believes
the new found territory will prove
advantageous. but runs into a
crooked band Of thugs who plot TO
drive the ranchers from their homes
and blame the raids on the Indians.
Wayne, Miss Ralston, Walter
Brennan, Ward Bond, Ona Munson,

to it that the picture moves right
along. The most thrilling part OF
the picture comes at the finish,
where the thieves set fire to the
farmers wheat in an unsuccessful
effort to grab their lands.
This is a spectacular drama,
packed with action from beginning
to end, climaxed by numerous
rough, tough struggles that hold
audience interest. The comedy an

Two. Year Outlook


of the tobacco section of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. III a
speech here Saturday that tobacco
prices would hold firm this year and
next leaves one more or less with
the consolation that that bridge can
be crossed when We get To il. and i'll
the meantime we can be thankful
for the blessings III hand.
Like some commodities and unlike
others. tobacco is a commodity whose
future can be enviSioned more or
less on the basis of supply. DiSrup-
ton of transportation facilities dur
ing the war. and wartime declines
III production. created shortage in
tobacco stocks. The condition was
almOSt worldwide in character.
Countries. particularly Great Britain,
which draw most of their smoking
leaf from the United StateS-which
means the tluC-curcd belts of the
South-were almost starved for the
American brands of leaf. Reserves
can they be entirely rcplcnishcd in
single season. Hence. the logic Of
anticipating satisfactory prices for
the farmers tobacco this year ana
next.
Beyond another season after this.
forecasts are risky. II would be fool
ish to rely TOO heavily upon any
cp!nlon-onc'S own or anuther-in
shaping policy that far in advance.
The surcst and safest program for
all tobacco growers now is 10 have
as much as possible OF the profits rs
hedge against simmer prices For
our own part, we do not anticipate
any serious slump in business gen.
orally in the near future. That is to
say, this year or next. But we can
not, howeevr. follow those who. fool

but boom times indefinitely. Man.

stdestep entirely and permanently
the old law of supply and demand
While dlscounting sharply the
