Major Maurice Campbell di- rected the picture. “A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR’S COURT” As'a-special attraction, the Rex theater will show again this evening the big,~new William Fox film ver- sion of Mark Twain’s funniest book, “A Connecticut Yankee in King Ar- thur’s Court.” Known to the multitude of Mark Twain iovers as “The Yankee,” this story is regarded not only as a great classic .of American humor, -but also as a. forqeful satire directed against those who sigh for the “good old times.” Mark Twain set out to show that the world we live in is the best of all possible worlds, and the time we live in is the best of all possible times. . The result is exquisite fantasy and delicious fooling, with a sharply drawn conclusion. ‘“The Yankee” is rated high among Mark Twain’s books Certainly it is one of the funniest. The_picture was directed by Em- mett J. Flynn, noted for his skill in fidelity to detail. The Yankee is played by Harry C. Myers, a wveli- known light comedian. This picture made a decided hit at the Rex Sunday and will be shown Tuesday and Wednesday, in aditoon to tonight, both matinee and,eve- ning. to Buster Keaton, the sober-faced comedian of the screen whose latest “FROM THE GROUNDUP” AT THE GRAND TONIGHT\ Tom Moore’s newest:.scrgen play., “From The Ground Up,” v’glw!:y ! him by Rupert Hughes one o_f h greatest of motion picture writers is showing :at the Gra‘:ld theater; for the last t:mes tonighty ; 3 comedy of chnlga e %fl !fi i Goldwyn’s genial Irish star in a most diverting role. The characters are clear cut and real human beings, while the comedy is natural and real funny. “From the Ground Up” is a compari- jon-piece to “Hold Your Horses, also written by Mr. Hughes, )n‘whxch Tom Moore achieved one of his: big- gest successes. “THE HAUNTED HOUSE"'AT GRAND THEATER TONIGHT If any.real ghosts had to work as hard as the conledy ghosts according smile . reel, “The Haunted -Houge,” shows at the Grand theater- tonight last time, there would be notice- able lack of surplus population among the spiritual fraternity. ?

SUCCESSOR TO "HUMORESQUE™, AT ELKO THEATRE TONIGHT Another Fannie Hurst story will be seen on the screen at the Elko theater evening. a Par- amount-Cosmopolitan picture, direct- ed by Frances Marion, who also wrote the scenario. It is hailed a fitting successor to “Humoresque.” Margaret Seddon, Lewis Sargent’ and.

Heaton, Director of Dairy Market- ing for the American Farm Bureau Federation : N . “My. reasons foi joining the Farm Burea: may be summarized under six headings: “First, the farmer needs a strong local,.county, state and national or- ganization. He rieeds to be organized . *Sécond, a Farm Bureau is a non- politi¢al, non-sectarian and non com- mercial service organization, which type of oryanizaticn appears to me as the“one’ that can accomplish the . most ;in'an. educational, economic and ¢ * “Third, an. organization of service like the Farm Bureau, representing all phases of agriculture, can render a great service in developing com- modity tharketing of all kinds. - “Fourth, the Farm Bureau as an educational “organization can render -‘ope of its most valuable services. ‘Along with ‘the most efficient mark- eting in a cooperative way, we must not. lose sight of the fact that to do this' most efficiently, we must at all times. produce more cconomically. The Farm Bureau can render to each farmer a great service along these lines. “Fifth, as a commodity organiza- tions are developed and in order that they must function efficiently, it is necessary that farm products be standardized and graded. The Farm Burcau can render-splendid service in assisting the farmers to do_this. “Sixth, the Farm Bureau is a splendid medium for the devolop- ment of community life. It can and is fostering the organization of com- munity life. Due to the fact that this is a nonpolitical, non-sectarian, and non-commercial organization, it can develop these community or- ganizations in a way » whereby all classes of farm folk can cooperate in_them.” 3 lative way for the farmer.| AD BRINGS.

Countrys 'National Parks. ~ There are nineteen national parks; with .a total area of. 10,859 "square miles, under theé supervision of:the secretary of the. interior and seven national -military and other parks under the supervision of the secretary of war, aud. n number ‘of other na- tional monuments, such as the petri- fled forests of Arizons, etc., under the Jurisdiction of the secretarles of the interor, agriculture and .war, For nmany tion of Arkansas was the only natienal park. In 1832 an area of 11§ square miles om which are 46 hot springs pos- sessing curative properties was set aside as a national park. It was not until forty years later that another pational park was created, the Yel- Jowstone, in Wyoming. The other 17 have been created within forty-two years, and seven of these within the last decade, the interest in conserva- tion probably accounting for the larger number. The only one in New Eng- land is Lafayette park in Maine, on Mount Desert. Process of Absorption, Miss Christina Merriman, head of the disarmament division of the League of Women Voters, sald at a dinner party in Washington: g “Disarmament, when it comes, will do away with the absorption of one country by another. “These absorbing, or boa constrictor, countries remind me of the elderly man in the smoker who bent over an old gentleman seated in front of him and said: 1. “'Beg pardon, but do you mind lending me your spectacles a moment?’ { "% Not at all,’ said the kindly old geh-! tleman. ‘not at all.’ At “The elderly chap fixed the spec lés firmly on hismose;. | vThank you?'he sald:’ *knd-nbw; ‘since you can no longer read your ‘fiexwspaper, will you kind! ass it over 4o ha?

These reports from_Northern - Township, Turt River, Solway, Kelliher, Bemidji an Hines and hence are fairly represent- ative of . conditions covering the whole county. :The - total number: of acres growry was 87 or ‘an average of 14% per farmer, but varied from one acre on one farm to 40 acres on another. ~'The_total average cost. per acre ‘was $56.54 while the average yield per acre' was 14 bushel or.a cost per bushel of 41.25 cents. The average farim price for ten years prior .to {1921 was on December 1st was 84c per bushel. - This would mean an acre return -of <$120.96 cr $64.51 net profit per aere. Certified seed stock which: usually sells' at asslight ipremium per bushel would shout a greater profit still' but the cost of production i3 also somewhat greater on account of special care, inspect- icn and rouging diseases and . weak plants. These figures would indicate that potstoes grown consistently ov- er a period-of years is paying a cash crop. Figures are also available. that some years potatoes do nct pay, and would show that the safest policy is to grow a-given acerage cvery year and not plunge.
