FARMER IS COMING OUT OF DEBT MUCK . BUREAU HEAD SAYS

The

T NEXT WEEK AT THE I heatreS i

(Br Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 12 fanner ia coming back.

He Is pulling himself out of tho! slough of debt and trouble a year, or a year and a half ago found him in. . For Ohio, this is on the word of those whose business it is to know as much about the farmers' affairs as they do themselves. "Farming as a whole, rapidly is recovering from the rather serious situation that was confronting it a year ago," 6aid Murray D. Lincoln, secretary of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation in a statement to the Associated Press. "The fanner Is making a slow recovery. He was sick, but he's getting well; hell make a little money this year." C. J. West, state-federal crop reported, said. Two things caused agriculture's

illness decline In the prices of the things the farmer sells; not a corresponding drop, If any, In the prices of the things he bought. Both of these conditions are showing decided Improvement, according to Mr. West, who compiled comparative figures for The Associated Press,

of the cost of merchandise farmers purchase, and the prices of products they dispose of. Conditions Retard Progress. The industrial situation, of course, is retarding the course of agriculture back to normal, but it is not having any great check on it, farm bureau officials and Mr. West pointed out. As a result of the crisis in the agrarian industry, there has resulted the greatest development along co-operative lines the country ever has seen, Lincoln declared In his statement -.. "Investigations as carried on by the

Ohio Farm Bureau federation have s-hown that the cost of getting the iarmers 'products to the consumer can be reduced materially, and farm communities all over this and other states

are taking ur the work. This will mean a mo. permanently profitable agriculture, which in turn means better business for all," Mr. Lincoln said. Live stock is where the farmer ought to turn a profit this working year, according to the figures of West. Grain

prices, his table shows, will be about the same, but he estimated crops will be larger than in 1921. Prices Holding Firm. In 1921, hogs were $8.93 a hundred, and tO(iy they are $9.90. All other live stCck prices are holding at firm levels, and some show slight increases. On theother side of the ledger, the , figures of Mr. West indicate agricul

turists are getting a better break all the way( around on the things they buy. For instance, the 1921 price of gasoline engines was $82.50, and now they are selling for $72.50; single harness was $52.50 last year; it is now $42.50. Hay rakes were $97.50 in 1921, as compared to a 1922 price of $87.50. Under the heading of machinery, equipment and supplies, slight decreases over the prices of a year ago, are noted. Cream separators, which were $87.50, last year, are $80, now. A great reduction in the price of tractors is show, the price of 1921 being given as $950, as compared to $670

this year. Wheelbarrows are reduced

from $4.90 to $3.95. Under fertilizer, is shown: Acid phosphate. -ton, $18.50 in 1922, and $23.40 in 1921; fertilizer, mixed, ton, $22 in 1922, and $26 in 1921.

MURRAY The famous Dr. Hopkins did not know that the patient whose acidburned, blind eyes he was operating on was his own daughter the vivacious, romping tomboy creature he had quarreled with. Ever since she had

left him he had longed for her, but stubborn pride kept him from trying to find her and asking forgiveness. What was the outcome of his opera

tion? Was there a reconciliation? What was the romance and adventure of Betty Hopkins? Margaret Beecher tells her interesting story in "Sunshine Harbor," a Playgoers feature showing now at the Murray theatre. MURRETTE Hazel Howell, Ruth Ashby and Clara Morris portray the three lady friends in the Carter De Haven production of

"My Lady Friends," the First National attraction starring Mr. and Mrs. Carter De Haven, which is playing at the Murrette theatre now. The uproarious fun of "My Lady Friends" centers around the lady friends of James Smith, the publisher of Bibles, a role portrayed by Carter

De Haven.

PANAMA TO SEND U. S. NEW ENVOY

Charles Ray's latest First National release, which comes to the Murrette theatre for a four days' run commencing Sunday, is "The Deuce of Spades"

and finds its motive in a sparkling comedy idea revolving about that card, which has-been adapted from the story of the late Charles E. Van Loan's "The Weight of the Last Straw." In line with his policy of giving hi3 successive screen productions distinctive characters, the star blossoms forth this time as a young, unsophisticated Bostonian who comes to the

Montana mining community of Little Butte for business and future. His immaturity makes him a fit subject for all the con games ever invented.

He buys a restaurant under rather unusual conditions, the establishment being about ready to give its expiring gasp when the youngster takes it over and makes something of a go of it by installing a few precepts of cleanliness and business management. The final straw is packed on his back when he becomes the victim of the old

est card sharper's trick ever invented, i

the one that Noah is said to have made a clean up with. The hoax wears down the final bit of his passive reserve and he shoots things up, not only winning everybody's self respect, but also regaining his lost wealth, while of the girl of his choice looks on approvingly. The star has surrounded himself with a capable cast for this comedy offering. Marjorie Maurice plays the feminine lead, while other members

of the company include Dick Southerland, Bert Offord and William Courtright, who were seen with Ray in "Gas, Oil and Water." RICHMOND Bernice Arnold (Betty Compson) couldn't swim a stroke, but she bravely jumped into the lake to rescue a lad of ten who is apparently drowning.

She herself is nearlv drowned by the

hoax; going down for the third time, she is saved by Trix Ulner (Lon Chaneyf, whose reputation is quite unsavory. In her gratitude she displayed

open friendship for Trix, which start

ed gossip and brought great disaster to her family circle. Her great sacrifice and supreme

According to a recent announcement, the $800,000 remaining unexpended, following the payment of ths New Jersey state bonus to former service men, may be used by the American Legion to provide hospital accommodations for ex-soldiers who may become incapacitated.

a splendid production, "Jan of the Big Snows," which will be the feature attraction at the Palace theatre for two days, starting Sunday. In "Jan of the Big Snows" Mr. Curwood has again chosen the Hudson Bay country as his locale and his "true to life" characters were selected after the usual Curwood research work far north from civilization's rim. Di

rector Charles M. Seay achieves another success in his work with this Curwood story and with the combination of a great author, a great director

thrills and virility. All the action takes place at an isolated trading post where Fred Cummings returns with his bride. The entire population consists of seventeen men, including Jan, who has never had a love affair in his entire life till he

meets Cummings' wife. The "honor of the big snows" demands protection for

the weak a man must suffer, starve or die before he will take what belongs to another man. Blanding, a New Yorker, arrives at the post, and his attentions forced upon Nancy cause Jan to observe the "honor of the big snows."
