HIGH FREIGHT RATES DEMORALIZE FARMING IN OHIO, IS CLAIM . COLUMBUS. O., July 16. High freight rates, lew prices for farm products, and the difficulty of obtaining money, even at high rates has demoralized farming in Ohio, says a statement today by the Ohio Farm Bureau

Federation, announcing completion of

a survey for use in connection with

the congressional joint commission of

agriculture inquiry.

- Hundreds of specific instances of

where freight on products shipped has amounted to as much or more than ' prices received have been found

through the inquiry, says the statement, "Typical of these," it continues.

"are the following: "A Coshocton farmer shipped 50 lambs to Pittsburgh and because of high freight - rates and handling charges, he received $10 for them. "In Gallia county, 3,000 pounds of tobacco were thrown on the field and used as fertilizer, because of high freight Tates. "A car of hay was shipped from Licking County to Carter County, Tennessee, and the hay brought $172, the freight and war tax amounted to J221.10. Consignor In Debt. "Sheep left the consignor in debt for the freight and commission, in a shipment from Celina to Cleveland. "Noble County farmers complain that only the best sheep bring enough to pay the freight rates. A Wood county farmer says that local' quotations for hay are $10, and the freight to market is $11. "Much of last year's hay still Is in barns in Clermont county, because the freight to Cincinnati is too high to move it." In 25 widely separated counties, farmers report that money is not to be had, according to the statement. In the other counties, good security is necessary to get loans at from 6 to 8 per cent Tenant farmers, it Is said, are . in worse plight than farm

owners. The joint agricultural commission now i3 holding hearings regarding fp.rm conditions, all over the United States.

She is the Duchess of Marlborough and was Gladys Deacon, formerly of Boston and famed as a beauty. She married the duke recently at the home of Eugene Higgins, her cousin, in Paris. The new duchess was for years a close friend of the former Duchess of Marlborough, the former Consuelo Vanderbilt, who recently married a French sportsman,

p NEXT WEEK AT THE a I 1 HEATREo j

24 PER GENT OHIO WHEAT IS THRESHED

COLUMBUS. O., July 16. In some sections of the state much threshing has been done and taking the state as a whole, about 24 per cent of the wheat Is threshed, according to reports received by C. J. West, agricultural statistician. The quality of the wheat threshed averages around 70 to 80 per cent, according to correspondents of this office. The yields reported vary widely from here and there a good field, to many fields of low yield. Based on preliminary reports for the threshing so far done, it appears that the state yield will be between 10 and 15 bushels per acre. The low yields are due both to poorly filled heads and poor quality of grain.

There has been a decided falling off in the conditions of oats during the last week. Reports indicate that taking the state as a whole, about 36 per cent of the oats crop has been harvested. About 76 per cent of hay has been cut. Numerous reports have been received of farmers allowing meadows stand uncut, rather than pay the high wages necessary to obtain help. Another factor that has tended to cut down the acreage of hay is the general rush of farm work at this time, with harvesting, cultivating, - threshing and hay making all tending to come at the same time.

MURRAY VAUDEVILLE.' Eight exceptionally strong acts have been booked for the Murray for next week. An act of unusual interest promises to be Billy Aloha and Girlie who are known as "The Tropical Duo." These artists are Hawaiians and carry a setting portraying their homeland, while they play the steel guitar, sing songs and dance the dances characteristic of their native isle. With them are The ' Three Lees, juggling comedies in a novel offering which they term "Watch the Pipe-No-Dream." There is nothing in this title that would give a theatre-goer an opportunity for guessing what they do, and inasmuch as their offering is on the surprise order, it would hardly do to explain their act. Suffice to know, they present one of the funniest and most enjoyably entertaining novelties that you would care to witness. A

guarantee that insomnia, lack of inter

est or any inclination to sidestep its fun is positively impossible therefore, "Watch The Pipe" "No Dream" will

make you sit up and take notice. Also on this bill is Georgia Howard, a beautiful girl with an abundance of talent and good clothes who terms herself "The Versatile Girl," and The Stine Trio, three youngsters who are .accredited with having one of the most

entertaining juvenile acts in vaudeville. They offer singing, dancing and comedy, and their efforts are 6aid to compare very favorably with the kids seen here in The Rising Generation. Harry Carey will . be seen on the screen in his latest thriller, "The Wallop," a five-reel feature. Headlining the bill coming Thursday are four handsome young ladies who are known in vaudeville as "The Four Of Us." Thi3 quartet has just completed a season over the Keith and Orpheum circuits with their act "A Winning Hand in Songland" where they were a tremendous hit with their refined singing specialty. This act is of the best caliber, and is standard

wherever the best in vaudeville is played. Young and Reed blackface comedians, also will be on this bill with their act, "It t Has Gotta Be Done." Mr. Young made a big hit here last season as comedian with Zarrow's Revue, and a number of patrons will doubtless remember him. He is seen this season with a new i partner and in an entirely new vehicle. .

Completing the bill is The Rosa

King Trio in "Dances on the Wire," and Kip and Kippy, a man and woman team who offer a little bit of everything and who know how to get laugh

ing results. Corlnne Griffith in her

latest five-reel Vitagraph feature "What's Your Reputation Worth?"

will be the screen feature. WASHINGTON During the filming of "An Old Fashioned Boy," the last Ince-Paramount-

Artcraft production starring Charles

Ray, the feature attraction at the

Washington theatre, Thomas H. Ince, who personally supervised the picture

from start to finish, left no stone un

turned in his effort to produce a story

that would in every respect surpass the quality of any of Charles Ray's

past successes. "An Old Fahioned .Boy" is introduced by Mr. Ince as the first film

play without an iris, or "fade-out," , the plan for which having been conceived by Agnes Christine Johnston,

scenario writer for Thomas H. Ince and author of the newest Ray release. Without the iris, .the action of "An Old Fashioned Boy" is-continuous and audiences will witness the unfolding of the entire story without a "break"

or "fade." Ethel Shannon plays opposite the star.- . . MURRAY Harry Carey in one of his best screen characterizations. An original story by Eugene Manlove Rhodes. Humorous "cut-ins" of a pioneer movie. Those are some of the things that will be seen at the Murray theatre on Monday, where "The Wallop," a Universal photodrama, is to be shewn witli Harry Carey in the starring role. ' The vigorous modern western drama is enlivened by a play within a play. The hero goes into a small nickelodeon and there on the screen sees a wild

and fleecy western drama just as it was made in the Bronx in 1910. Carey is shown in the darkened movie theatre wishing the screen. The west as it is depicted by a flaxen haired floor walker gets on his nerves.. He walks out and steps Into a series of adventures in real life which would have been far too rough for the simpering hero of the antique celluloid drama. A furious gun fight, a battle for the girl, political intrigue, wild rides over the desert and a desperate feud between the citizens of a modern western town are some of the adventures in which Carey participates. The "Branding Iron" which has excited favorable comment from all who have seen it, closes its run at the Murray, Sunday. MURRETTE "Officer 666", featuring Tom Moore, closes a successful run at the Murrette theatre Saturday night. The picture is a whirlwind success and fans who are partial to Tom's brand of fund especially are invited to witness the fun fest. - Tom Moore has a gorgeous role a young millionaire who poses as a policeman to trap a crook in his own

home. The famous smile has never radiated to better purpose; the genial, lovable personality has never registered with more telling effect.

If you are so happy now that you

simply cannot stand another good

laugh, you may be excused for not seeing this bundle of clean film fun.

through the Elborg mountains of Teheran, having exchanged on the fron

tier the speed of a continental train

coaching days.

The Persians have never built rail

ways in tneir country, except for a three-mile line that runs from Teheran

to the ancestral capital, Rhae. Persia is consequently a land of the caravan

and the caravansary; along its main

roads innumerable convoys of mules, asses and camels move, on their way carrying travelers and distributing merchandise. Occasionally along these unrepaired highways; a wagon jolts its- way, piled high with boxes, on the top of which many huddled figures lie as best they can on rugs under the shade of the awning. - They are perhaps Russian

immigrants casting about for a new home. The Persians when moving house prefers to ride his beast and so

presents a far more exciting spec

tacle. ' The father and perhaps his

married sons, all brightly clad in blue! coats, yellow sashes and black hats,! make a leading group. They carry ri-j fles and a belt of ammunition across! their shoulders, their small . Arab j horses. In colored trappings, seem!

Such a mode of travel affords an insight into the dignity of the ancient world, when the sense of time wa3 not determined by express trains or telegraphic systems, but instead the working of men's thoughts was regu lated rather to the movements of th( sun or the galloping of a horse.

Baffin Land Explorer

Seeks Egg of Blue Goose BOSTON, Mass. A bunt for the

egg of the blue goose will be one of j the odd errands of the Donald B. Mc-j Millan expedition to Baffin Land this year if the hopes of ornithologists are realized. The adult blue goose, a variety with a grayish brown body that gets its name from the blue-gray of its wing coverts, is not uncommon in the United States but its breeding haunts have ever been a subject of much speculation among bird lovers and its nest and eggs have never been observed. An announcement by Dr. McMillan that on his last trip to the Arctic he had noticed fledglings of these geese aroused . the Interest of students of bird life with the result that one of the scientists who will accompany the present expedition will be commissioned to be on the lookout especially for blue goose eggs in connection with

his other field work. The price that one of these eggs, hitherto unseen by civilized man, would command, has not been quoted

but judging from the enthusiasm displayed in natural history societies over the subject, the goose that laid the golden egg will have nothing on this bird.
