POLLY MORAN PLAYS
 COMEDY WITH TRACY AND K. HEPBURN

Polly Moran, film comedienne who gave up her career more than a decade ago to retire to what she said would be a calm old age. is back in front of the cameras. The famous comedy star returns to the screen in Adams Rib" .M-G-M comedy starring Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn at the Capitol Theatre.
 T just got tired of leading the kind of life in which the most ex- citing event of the day was the morning trip to the market" she says, in explaining the reason for her return to acting.
 For the past ten years Miss Moran has lived in the quiet resort com munity of Laguna Beach, about fifty miles from Hollywood. With her husband and her pet parrot both of whom came into her life eighteen years ago, she lives in a small house near the ocean. She knows most of the 5000 residents of the community by name and is one of the towns most civic-mindeo residents, even running for city council one year.
 Got 200 votes, too." she says 1 with pride.
 Things have changed in pic ture- making" she commented or the Adams Rib" set. T didn't know how much I missed the busi- ness until I came back. I suppose it's just a case of once a ham all ways a ham,"
 Miss Moran hasn't lost the keer sense of humor which she devel- oped as a vaudeville headliner ir the big-time era and as star oi the Sheriff Nell series of comedies for Mack Sennett.
 Those were the days when we made a two-reel comedy in two days" she recalls. "As Sheriff Nell received plenty of black eyes. But still long for the good old slap stick comedies. I'd trade you one custard pie in the face for a whole bushel of smart repartee."

increase in June and prices are like
ly to soften.
Stocker and feeder prices prob
ably will be steady to lower in the
next two or three months with most
weakness in prices for stock cattle.
Fleshy feeder prices may hold up
well until Kansas and Oklahoma
grassers are plentiful Wide feeding
margins on fed cattle marketed last
fall and currently will sustain re-
placement demand for such cattle
HOGS-Prices may settle back
temporarily in late May or early
June, but viii rise later to a late
summer peak. Fall pigs have been
marketed earlier than usual and
the peak of the movement may have
already been reached, although some
piling up of receipts may occur near
the usual time in early June.
LAMBS-A moderate price de-
cline is probable during the next
three or four months. Most of the
decline is likely to occur after the
next 80 days. Selling of well-fleshed
lambs down to 20 pounds before the
and of June probably will pay.
Breeding eve demand probably will
continue strong.
WOOL-Steady to slightly higher
prices appear probable. Increased
demand from clothing manufacture
ers for fall goods, orders for military
goods, small domestic and world
stocks, continued a strength in
southern hemisphere markets and
increasing optimism as to consumer
buying power in the second half
of the year have brought moderate
rise in the last two or three weeks.
Mill consumption is running sub
stantially higher than a year ago
and the highest since late in 1913
WHEAT-Prices may rise slight
ly higher in the next few weeks il
crop prospects deteriorate further
but are likely to decline if weather
improves. If they do go higher in
the nearby future, they are likely
to decline in midsummer.

Market Outlook
By GILBERT GUSLER

ECONOMIC ROAD SIGNS point
to full speed ahead in business ac-
tivity in the next few months. In
dustrial production is within 2 or 3
percent of its peacetime high and
6 to percent over year ago. Con-
struction, auto and steel industries
are especially active New orders of
manufacturers in March hit a post
war peak.
The squirt in industrial activity
has improved the farm outlook
slightly. Farm prices thus far in
1850 have averaged about percent
lower than in 1949, but part of the
strength has been due to prospects
of lower production which will mean
smaller volume for sale.
However, farm prices probably
will hold up better in the second
half. of the year than in 1949. Farm
production costs for hired labor,
fertilizer and rents to nonfarmer
landlords probably will be somewhat
lower, but are expected to be steady
or higher for most other items, the
u. S. department of agriculture says.
CATTLE-Steady to higher prices
for middle and upper grades and
steady to lower prices for under
grades are probable in the next two
or three months. The strong upturn
in prices for good and choice cattle
in the last two or three weeks in
dicates that the spring bottom has
already been reached, although sup
| plies of such cattle at Chicago prob
ably will increase.
They are now substantially larger
than during the winter and early
spring. Prices for these better grades
are 81 to $6 per cwt. higher than
a year ago and are already nearly
up to the levels of last September
Farmers plan to sell more fed cattle
in summer and fall than last year
Hence, the advance in prices for tor
grades during the next few months
is likely to be smaller than in 1949
Prices for medium steers have adj
vanced in June and July in II O.
the last % years. They probabl,
will be steady to strong this yea
until grass cattle begin to move il
volume in August. Supplies of plail
and common cattle usually start t

A Report From Britoin

January 80, 1850

No one realizes better than I
how wrong first impressions can
be and how futile congratulations
based on a three weeks visit to a
country of nearly fifty million
people, especially when the OBJ
server neither speaks nor reads
the language. But in Italy l was
lucky in having as interpreter the
highly voluble George Carbone,
an expert on local history who has
been in the land of his ancestors
since last October. / did talk at
length with several people who
spoke English, from the manager
of a good sized corporation to the
shoe shine boy who had picked up
most of the American expressions
which do not bear repetition.
AT least a dozen business men
told me that they do not, cannot
obey the aw. They agreed that II
an enterpriser were to fill out all
forms honestly and pay all the
taxes levied that he would soon

hope of a revision Of the Italian
tax structure but until that comes,
as one store owner put it, the bu-

subterfuge to survive" 1t was

who kept on good terms with
Mussolini, the Germans, the Am
orleans, and the present govern
ment, "who taught the Germans
how to graft"
Under such a system business
statistics must be largely mean
ingless because so much is never
reported. Even pay envelopes, in
some instances, are increased by

avoid the higher social taxation
which automatically comes with
greater wages. An official of an

however, by means of specific
rates, keep out the cheaper pro-
ducts. The Italian shipper claims
that he is INSTRUCTED more by un-
necessary red tape than by the ac-
tual duty he has to pay.
Several manufacturers told me
that Italy never again needs to

Some farmers who recently inn ported new blood of good lineage from Outside may expect some even better results from our breeding program, I believe.
 AT THIS TIME I believe should make it clear, through a direct quotation from our insemi- nator, MT. Sweetman, why the young bulls which were brought in with these cows were not ac- cepted in the program:
 'The reason for not keeping the bull calves is because there is not enough production behind them to warrant their use with so many cows in the Valley. Only 40 per cent of the bulls in the states prove out, in the increase of their daughters production, while 80 per cent of the bulls coming from the Bureau of Dairy Industry's herd increase. or hold, the production of their daughters.
 There just seems to be no use in taking a chance on unproven stuff when we can get proven stuff from the Bureau of Dairy Industry"

Two Drivers Err, 5000 Damage Results

Careless driving on the part of two drivers resulted in an esti- mated $1,000 worth of damage to two cars last Sunday. Vehicles driven by Sgt Thomas Hicks of Fort Richardson, and Lowell H. Crabb of Spenard, collided at the North Palmer crossing in Palmer.
 Highway Patrolman Al Lue- bcke, who investigation the acci- dent, said the automobile out bound from Palmer apparently failed to give proper right of way and the vehicle entering Palmer appeared to have been driving too fast for prevailing conditions.
 Visibility was good, and there should have been no cause for an accident, the patrolman stated, There was no one injured in either automobile. =. .-..

 A request for additional equip ment, in the way of voice radio communication equipment, will be forwarded soon, MT. Snodgrass said.

IT HAS BEEN amazing to me that the most important industry to the Valley should have so lit- tie publicity, and, therefore, I am trying to put in this column all news which will be of benefit to the industry as whole.
 The responsibility for the col un1, which will appear in every issue, I take upon myself. How ever, I hope for the cooperation of all dairyrnen and all people who are interested in the welfare of the dairy industry here.
 WE WILL soon begin the third yea of very successful artific- ial insen1ination cattle breeding program in the Valley. Most of us have heifers near to breeding age from which we can justly ex- pect amazingly high production.

the result of an automobile
truck collision on the Raymond
rd., 3 miles north of Marysville.
He is Fay Pearson, taken to
Mt. Carmel hospital following the
collision at IL a. m. Tuesday.
Sheriff Walter 7. Galloway
said Mr.. Pearson'S 1850 pickup
truck and car driven by Robert
M. Webb, also of Peoria, collided
in bridge.
The wreck was witnessed by
Sgt. Fred Banham, U. S. Army
recruiter, who said:
Pearson was thrown clear out
of his car into the road. Webb
was clear off the road, down in
the ditch by the creek. Pearson
was bleeding at the ear so ] knew
he had some kind of head injury"
The Sergeant said he took the
back seat out of the car and laid
Mr.. Pearson on it.
Mr.. Pearson was taken to the
hospital in the William H. Faulk-
! ner ambulance. The damaged car
was taken to II. |. Huffman & Co
