WHY HARPO DOESN'T TALK
Continued from page eighteen

Together we weren't afraid of him There
were four of us. We were young and full of
hell, and besides, each of US carried black
jack.
A few moments later Wells appeared.
Chico, the eldest. acted as spokesman. TAX
ing firm grip on himself, and gulping a
trife, he said. ''Mr Wells, unless you cancel
that ten-dollar fine, we're not going on
Wells was furious. He wasn't accustomed
to mutiny. He said, Listen, you guys.

rules is NO SMOKING caught your brother
Groucho smoking, and fined him. That's
the law of this theater, and it stands!'
Chico hollered out to the company, "Okay,
everybody, take off your makeup and cos
TUNES. We're not going to give show"
By this time the orchestra had played
the overture four times, and houseful
of tough theater-lovers were stamping
and shouting for the curtain to go up.
Wells was getting nervous. He was part
of the town and he couldn't afford this He
knew we had him.
Nov, wait minute, boys" he whined.
'You can't do this to me. Those people
came to see show"
HsDe's Cempromise
We ANSWERED, I'VE came to give show,
but as long as the fine stands, we don't 60 on.
Take your choice"
We, too, were bluffng. We couldn't afford
the loss of three days salary. Then Harpo,
the Neville Chamberlain of his time. spoke
up.
,"I'll tell you what" he said We'll take
ten dollars and you take ten, and we'll COM
bine it and throw the whole twenty in the Sal
vation Army Christmas pot on the corner"
"You can throw all your salary in the

Out front the stamping grew louder and
the yells more threatening. Wells listened
with alarm.
What do you say?" Chico taunted him.
Does the Salvation Army get the money!
Wells eyed US mwderously. but rather
than lose the afternoons receipts, and per-
haps his life, he surrendered and the show
went on.
We were leaving Saturday night for our
next jump, and by the time our last show
was over we had about 40 minutes to get
dressed. pack, load the scenery on trucks,
get to the depot and check our baggage.
Regards From Mr.. Wells
In THE midst of all this confusion, two of
Wells's stooges staggered in and dumped
four big canvas bags on the floor.
What's that?" we asked.
That's your salary" one of them said.
"Mr. Wells sends his regards

that Wells hadn't loaded the uncounted
bags with slugs.
We barely made the train. and as it pulled
out of the depot, we stood on the back
platform watching the town and theater
recede into the distance.
Then Harpo. the pantomimist, raised his
voice, and above the clatter of the train,
beloved:
''Cood-by, MIR. Wells. Here's hoping
your lousy theater burns down!'
We thought it was just gag. till next
morning - when we discovered that during

May Need Silos
For Corn STORAGE

With an excellent corn crop
past most dangers except frost
agricultural engineers at Ohio
State University expect Ohio
farmers will be more interested
in making corn silage than they
have been in recent years when
every kernel of corn was wanted
as grain. The engineers claim q
! larger percentage of the feed
value in a corn crop can be saved
in the silo than by any other meth
od of storage.
They say the height of an up
right silo or the length of trench
silo should be decided by the
number of days silage will be fed
| The diameter of a round silo OF
the cross section of a trench silo
should be proportionate to the
number of head of livestock to be
fed each day. Silage looseS quality
when exposed to air so a whole
layer from the top of the upright
silo or a slice from the end of a
trench silo should be fed out each
day.
The engineers say l0-foot silo
with "a feet of silage that has set
tied two days will contain "a tons
of feed, and the silage can be fed
without waste to l3 head of COWS
or an equivalent amount of other
livestock. The herd should con-
tain 26 head of COWS if the silo is
to be IA feet in diameter, and IA
x40-foot silo will store about 1876
tons of corn silage. Grass silage
weighs from Is to Is per cent
more than an equal volume of
corn Silage.
A trench silo II feet wide at the
top, six feet wide at the bottom,
and eight feet deep will hold "a
bout ton of silage for each run
ming foot of trench length. Ten
cows will eat the silage without
waste. Silage can be really packed
in a trench silo by running trac-
tor back and forth as the trench
is being filled.
None of the value of the grain is
lost when corn is put in a silo and
a lot of feed in the stalks which
otherwise would be wasted is
saved for livestock feed. Kernels
should be dented to make the best
silage, and the stalks should be
green enough to pack well when
run through the cutter. No pre-
servatives are needed for either
corn or grass silage if the crop is
stored at the right time.
