QUOTAS FOR SPUDS?

Secretary of agriculture Bran
nan has proposed marketing
quotas for Irish potatoes as a
prerequisite for price support.
The proposal would forbid price
support of any crop of potatoes when
producers had disapproved quotas.
Potato growers have consistently
fought against the imposition of
quotas, insisting they have not been
educated to such a system and it
would take time to make quotas eff
fective.
Under the Brannan proposal, pota-
to price supports would be continued
at so to 80 percent of parity, but
contingent upon quotas.

POINTS TO REMEMBER WHEN
PURCHASING HEATING OILS

This winter you'll get more heat from less fuel if you
follow these two important steps now: One, make cer-
tain thae your heating equipment is correctly installed
and in perfect working condition. Two, make certain
the fuel oil you order is free of moisture and foreign
substances. On this second point, you can be sure of
uniform gaakWy by ordering Union heating oils, which
are refined and transported to your farm with the same
careful attention as premium gasoline. This means
they'll do a s~oot-free, economical and dependable job.
Remember, for more heat from less fuel, ask your
Union Farm Representative for Union heating oils.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-10-15

You caa also save on fuel consumption in your home
this winter by pulling down window shades at dusk
and leaving them down until morning. The air pocket
between the window and the shade forms a fair insula-
sor. And, in the summer, drawn window shades during
the daytime help keep your house cool, too.

RED SHELTON IN
 HILARIOUS FILM,
 CAPITOL THEATRE

If all battles were like the ones fought by Red Skelton in "A Southern Yankee at the Capitol Theatre Sunday, wars would be a pleasure.
 For there never has been as fun ny a soldier as the one portrayed by M-G-M's unrivaled comedian in this bowling travesty of Aubrey Fil- more, the bungling and blundering Lellhop determined to become a member of the Unions Secret Ser vice and to track down the South's most dangerous and elusive spy, the Gray Spider.
 When circumstances entirely be- yond his control enable Aubrey to capture the Gray Spider in a St. Louis hotel bedroom, the Secret Service is forced against it's will to enlist the aid of Aubrey and, dis guised as the Spider, he is sent on mission to Confederate headquart- CTS at Morgan's Landing to supply Southern general with false in formation about an impending bat tie.
 The ingenious and devious means by which he crosses the Confeder- ate lines in the midst of roaring cross-fire, his uproarious experiences in an evacuation hospital where he is mistaken for a victim of shell shock, the ruses by which he makes himself out to be the greatest hero of the Civil War to an admiring Southern belle, and his final expose under hilarious circumstances, make for one of the most original and up- roarious comedies the screen has offered in a long time.

New Ring Star GIows But MaiCh Be(Iouds Defroiter's vicfory

DETROIT, Oct. 22.-lR-East side Detroit, which gave Joe Louis and Sugar Ray Robinson to the boxing world, had new fistic star to- day-a clever young negro welter- weight named Lester Felton
 Felton's star was beclouded, how ever, by circumstances surrounding his upset victory over the highly regarded Kid Gavilan of Cuba in a 10-round fight at Olympia last night. Uproar followed
 The 20-year-old Detroiter was awarded a severely criticized split decision after he outran Gavilan for practically the entire 10 rounds before 13,184 fans who paid gross gate of $29,750 Gavilan at 145A had a half pound advantage.
 Gavilan, ranked as the No. l contender for Robinson's welter- weight crown, was 3-1 favorite at ringside, but he spent practi- cally the whole fight in a futile effort to corner Felton.
 Chairman Floyd Stevens of the Michigan Boxing Commission was at ringside and he indicated the Commission would make study of the fight result.

YOU WERE MEANT FOR ME TONIGHT
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Tie ncs.eleic appeal of story set in those terrific Twenties' when girls were flappers, boys were shieks, and everyone was doing tic Charleston, wasn't lost on the stars of You Were Meant For Me- the new Twentieth Century-Fox com edyromance which is unfolded against the colorful era of the l920's, at the 20th Century Theatre tonight.
 Jeanne Grain, of course, doesn't remember much about it. She was flapper and flirt, mayte, but a four-year- one, getting ready to start school.
 Dan Daley, her co-star in the film, and who portrays bandleader idol rivaling Rudy Vallee, was in his teens, just getting ahead as a vaudeville and burlesque hoofer. Dan had made his first stage ap- pearance at the age of six, and by 1929, he had quit school and tried to break into show business the hard way. It was the turning point in his life. The year 1929 also mark ed the turning point for Oscar 1e- want, who had made his first stage appearance in "Burlesque," and was signed with Barbara Stanwyck to repeat his role in the movie version. Any similarity" he says, was pure coincidence But anyway, the picture brought Levant to Holly wood, where he remained to do sev- eral musical scores.
 Barbara Lawrence, who appears as Jeannes chum, had the least to say about her "reminiscences.
 T was just being born," she said.
 Barbara and Jeanne, however, were ahle to join the others in a full and rich appreciation of the spirit of the times as reflected in it's music.
