On the first floor of the north wing, known as "bunts' row." the barred windows are covered on the outside with heavy wire screens. The screen on one of the windows bad been torn loose, apparently ready for removal. The bath and toilet room on tile first flour lias a steel floor and the deputy sheriffs found a loosened plate. Beneath the plate was the large revolver, wrapped in a cloth. Following the finding of the revolver. every prisoner was "shaken down" but no additional weap-i ons were found.

ico now menaces the honeymoon that Hollywood confidently expects Lupe Velex and Johnny Weissmuller to take as soon as he gets his final decree of divorce from Bobbe Arnst on October 11. Unless plans are changed, Lupe will have to be in Mexico City with the “Viva Villa"

troupe on the date that Johnny is legally free to marry her. Nor is there much hope that Louis B. Mayer will intervene as he did by taking Hal Rosson off the camera of the Villa picture. Os course, neither Lupe nor Johnny will admit that they plan to take any immediate matrimonial plunge. The swimming champ tells me; “I have every intention of marrying Lupe. if she is willing, but we won’t know the date and had rather not talk about it until my divorce is final." In any event, there can be no extended honeymoon, for Lupe has picture assignments and Johnny will be working on the new “Tarzan” film for weeks to come. Pomp and ceremony are Will Rogers’ pet target. The comedian proved it again the other day when he was invited aboard a warship to enjoy a new flying thrill—being in a navy plane as it is catapulted out over the water. The navy made it a big day for Will. The admiral was present with his staff, and the deck was lined with rows of sailors standing at rigid attention with arms stiffened in salute. Will eyed the sailor boys for a moment, then walked over to them. Suddenly, he grinned. “Won’t anybody speak to you?” he asked.

The i amount of sugar entering the plant each day will be known, the extraction checked, and every loss reduced to a minimum. “To make money from the beet crop the grower and the company must work together. Our interests are identical. Each shares every dollar made or saved. We are both vitally interested in producing as many pounds of sugar per ton of beets and per acre of ground as can possibly be done. The Company is obligated to handle, manufacture, and distribute the products so as to secure the highest returns to the grower. The’ grower is obligated to produce quality beets and to harvest and deliver them in such a manner that they will produce a maximum of sugar. “An important change of mutual advantage will be a regulated delivery to the factory yard, father than as formerly to numerous weigh stations where beets accumulated much faster than the factory could possibly slice them. These stations were a burdensome expense and difficult to supervise properly. Beets accumulated in large, open piles where there was a serious loss from deteriora tlon, a loss about which the grower did not concern himself, since

he was selling beets not sugar. This loss frequently ran as high as 12 or 15 percent. Under a cooperative contract of every dollar lost by waste and spoilage the grower loses 50 cents. Unquestionably this 50-50 contract assures to the growers and the Company a chance for greater profit since it makes for a better handling of the crop and gives the grower and manufacturer a common interest."
