These pro- grams range from the allocations of the Agricultural Adjustment Ad- ministration to the Federal Emer- gency Relief and Farm Credit Ad- ministrations. Indeed, the benefits expected to be derived from this census are incalulable and will | have a marked influence on the future welfare of agriculture and the country as a whole. At the | completion of the canvass every will be put forth to make preliminary tabulation reports avail- effort able at the earliest possible mo- ment.

Those who do not have sample schedules are urged to write, phone or call at the farm census head- quarters in their district, procure a copy, study the questions and have their records ready when the enumerator calls.

The picture is a presentation of Jczeph M. Schenck and Darryl F. Zanuck and was released through United Artists. Moulin Rouge” is the story of an ambitious young wife who tries desperately to secure her husband’s consent to renewing her theatrical career, which she abandoned a few years before to marry him. He stubbornly refuses, belittling her talent and asserting it is her business to be a homemaker—not a puppet of the public. How she wins her point, the clever ruse which she adopts in order to prove her ability, and above all the humorously dramatic situations resulting from his capit- ulation to the charms of a siren involving him in the predicament of making love to his own wife without knowing it, form one of the most entertaining tales whicn has come to the screen for many a day. Franchot Tone plays the part of the dominating husband with fine restraint, making the character highly understandable as the coun- terpart of thousands of better halves who believe that a woman's place is in the home, but a man’s is—well, anywhere he may choose to go. The second male lead is in the extremely capable hands of Tullio Carminati, who will be remembered for his exceptionally fine work in ‘Strictly Dishonorable,” which had a run of 76 consecutive weeks in New York and also in “Music in the Air" which ran for over 50 weeks in the mctropohs to secrecy and are required to read the law and the severe penalties established for any disclosure of information.

It isn't every actor, as King points out, who has an ex-million- aire for a valet. And it isn't every valet who, flat broke though he may be now, can look forward to another fortune dropping in his lap.in two years. King, who was Walter Woolf of the musical stage until he came to pictures, acquired the services of Ray Childers through an employ- ment agency. Ray Childers, known | in Tulsa, Okla, among the Chero- |kee Indians as Chief Little Horsé, Accurate Report | “Enumerators are legal restdean‘ of the districts which they canvass. \ Some, if not all, of the farmers| residing in an enumeration district | will know the enuenators person- ally and they will do well to see that an accurate report is returned for their district. With the pro- gram now being carried on by the Government to assist agriculture an inaccurate report .might very readily react to the disadvantage of the farmers in that particular | district. “The farm schedule is comprised of 100 questions covering practically every important ramification of the agricultural industry. Of course, | very few farmers will be required to answer all of the questions, only the ones pertaining to their par- ticular activities. Questions to be answered will include farm tenure; | farm population; farm acreage, which includes all crop land, pas-| ture land and woodland; total value of the farm; acreage and yield of each of the principal field crops and vegetables; number of trees and yield of the principal fruits| and nuts; number and value of| each class of livestock, and poul-| try and eggs.” | ——— P P 1 .

Little Horse, a sleek young In- dian, acquired his fortune through inherited lands and livestock, and Ihe lost it, according to his own |story, through joyous spending. NO MORE “BIG CARS” “When I get my money from my grandmother’s trust fund in Sep- tember, 1936, says Little Horse, |“I'm going to buy a ranch. I used to buy big cars, but now I'm going to buy a little one.” Little Horse, or Ray Childers, has been around Hollywood quite a while. In his more affluent days he used to indulge his fondness for trick riding and roping as an extra in Hoot Gibson's pictures. He would get $7.50 a day, and pay his chauffeur, who drove him to loca-| tion, eight a day. “If T could collect the money I've loaned people in five and 10 dollar | lots,” he said, “I wouldn't need to worry. I bet it would be $10,000. |But I'm not sorry for anything— I had a swell time while it lasted.” As a valet, according to King, Ray is phenomenal.

A. B. Phillips, superintendent of schools, reported this morning that a check on attendance showed more pupils were attending at both the public grammar and high schools than during the last few days before the vacation began. This would indicate that the spread of influenza had been checked. Most of the absences were noted in the lower grades, Superintendent | Phillips said. Two teachers were absent today. Miss Ann Rohwer, instructor in the fourth grade, was confined to her home with a cold. She was expected back at school tomorrow. Miss Helen Gray, home economics acher in the high school, was in Ketchekan, where she visited dux- |ing the holidays. She intended to reach Juneau on the 8. 8.
