FARM PROGRAM 0;j SOUND BASIS OUTLINEDJN U.S. European Markets Assured for Year U. S. WellStocked With Foods. WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. Farmers of the United States -were urged today by the department ot agriculture to return to sound farm practice in the coming season, abandoning certain emergency measures adopted during the war, so as to assure ample supplies ot all kinds for this country and Europe. No cause for alarm as to the ability of American agriculture to maintain its position in world trade during the period of readjustment is foreseen by the department, which declared that a considerable demand from European countries for foodstuffs was almost assured tor a year or more. The signing of the armistice found the United States with fairly large stocks of foods, but with smaller stocks of feeds. It was recommended that pasture lands plowed up tor growing grains and other food crops should be reseeded to grass, and that regular and satisfactory rotation ot

crops be resumed. . Conservative Increase. A wise live stock program was said to Include maintaining horses and mules without material increase, a normal increase in dairy cows and beef cattle, conservative increase in swine until the relative shortage and high price of feeds are overcome, an Increase In sheep consistent with facilities, and in poultry if a minimum of purchased feed Is required. The indicated plant program , was said to be not so definite. The department is certain that farmers will be Justified in maintaining their acreages ot corn, oats and barley, large productions of which are necessary to live stock production, but the policy as to wheat, of which Europe will need 728,000,000 bushels, depends upon a complicated set of conditions yet undetermined. It appears desirable to Increase hay production by 25 percent. Acreage planted to cotton, ot which an apparent deficit is indicated, should be adJusted so that the farmer may. produce enough food and feed for his family and live stock. Peanut production, increased during the war because of the demand for oil. should be readjusted as a rait of crop economy. Those who intend to maintain home leardena were urged to plant for their own needs, rather than attempt to market their produce.

. WASHINGTON Those students of modern screen-

rfcraft who delight in dissecting suc

cessful cinema productions to discover the various elements that have been combined to produce entertaining value and box office appeal . should

I find a subject worthy of their keenest

attention , in "The Romance of Tarran," now showing at the Washington thearte. This spectacular seven-part film drama presents the concluding chapters of Edgar Rice Burroughs' "Tarzan of the Apes." While retaining all of the picturesque and refreshing novelty of theme that set that production apart from other screen features of the day, "The Romance of Tarzan" offers, in addition, a swift-moving plot in which excitement and suspense are

aertiy woven into natural sequence. Much is also made of the dramatic . contrast between Tarzan's life as the;, white king of his jungle empire and j his later adventures when plunged into the complex world of high society. I Here the various threads of the narra-'

tlve are deftly joined to produce an effect that cannot fail to hold the attention of everyone who loves a good story well told. LYRIC. Eddie Polo, starring in "The Lure of the Circus," a thrilling Universal serial of circus life, la supported by a cast of men and women made up of veteran circus performers. The serial is directed .by J. P. McGowan. who won his spurs as an action director with Helen Holmes in railroad pictures for the Signal company. "The Lure of the Circus" Is filled with dramatic action made logical by the acting of genuine circus folk. Among the veterans of the sawdust ring who support Mr. Polo Is another Eddie Eddie De Coma, of the famous De Coma family, one of the best known performers . with Rlngllng Brothers, Barnum and Baily and other biff circuses. In. "The Lure of the Circus'" he plays the role of an aerial performer. The dashing gentleman In the' plug hat who snaps his whip as the beautiful lady tides around the ring was Ouke R. Lee's part for many years with the country's biggest circus. Two extremely funny men were recruited from the Sells-Fkito circus. They are Roy Miller and Frank Chester. ' Pearl Polo, known professionally as Pearl Grant, and who is the wife of the star, appears In a role familiar to her. .

. "Men in all sorts and stages ot attire, and from every front, came' to this infantry candidate school after the signing of the armistice," wrote Lieutenant Herbert M. Cotton, to The Palladium recently. "Since about November 11 P have been instructor in this school at La Valbonne. With the cessation of hostilities the spirit in the schools dropped and for that reason my work here is not so interesting nor easy as. it would have been. Instead of the spirit for war In a man you see a far-away look (the homeward look). Our men are more the older type, sergeants and non. com., who had made good and were sent to school as a reward. "The school i situated in the middle of the country and the best thing there is the railroad which runs trains through almost hourly to Nice or Lyon. We are only twenty kilos from the latter place. "When the men came up here 50 per cent of them had cooties. The commanding officer appointed a "de lousing" officer, and for two weeks we fought . them in one drive after another. "Every man is now full of vim and vigor. We have a football team that holds the championship of northern and southern France, and take it all in all we are well rested up. "The school closes in two weeks, and I hope to rejoin my regiment which is in Germany. I belong to the 89th division. We had been on various fronts from August to the signing ot the armistice when we were lucky enough to one of the ten to go into Germany. My one wish now is that I can rejoin them before they are relieved up. I think I stand a reasonable chance of coming . home when my outfit is relieved." . After a twelve day's furlough, twelve hours of which, he spent in Paris by mistake. Corporal E. L. Farnsworth, son of Mrs. B. M. Farnsworth of Boston wrote the following letter: "Left Friday night and in changing cars at Rheims we got on the wrong train and woke up in Paris the next

morning. Would not have missed my

time there for the world!

"We visited everything worth see
