ANDERSON, Garage and Distributor GREENWOOD -:- -:- NEBRASKA Rural Route Carriers are Helping in the Work of Gathering Lata for the Department. Since there is misunderstanding on the part of some farmers in this lo cality as to the usefulness of the in formation as to hog production and crop acreages, obtained from the cards distributed by the rural mail carriers. Postmaster J. W. Holmes has requested the Journal to publish the following statement furnished him by the United States Department of Agriculture: "These surveys are made with the help of the rural carriers, who either distribute the cards to a certain num ber of farmers along their routes, with the request that these be filled out, or the carrier fills out the card himself by interviewing the farmer. The carrier is instructed to get in formation from farms which will give a good average picture or sam ple of farms on his route, preferably by taking all of the farms along a part of his route, big and little, good and poor, owned and rented. "If a fair sample of all farms is re turned in each state, figures for these farms should show the same changes as all farms. It is impossible to take an actual census enumeration of all farms each year, so changes in production and acreage each year must be estimated from samples. The nearer these samples are to being exact, the more correct will be the estimates. "The need and value of such in formation for individual farmers and agriculture in general hardly need be stressed. Without dependable in formation as to actual production and trends of production both of live stock and crops more balanced pro duction and better market distribu tion are impossible. "The Department of Agriculture is the best qualified agency to under take such work, but the accuracy of its estimates depends upon the ac curacy of the returns made by farm ers. "The beneficial effects that such information may have upon price is shown by the level of hog prices dur ing the winter of 1924-25 compared to the previous winter. The pig sur veys of June and December, 1924, showed a decided decrease in hog production in 1924 compared to the year 192:5. Marketings, however, during the winter from the 1924 crop were almost as large as the pre vious winter and in December and January were the highest on record. In spite of these heavy marketings, hog prices were from $2.00 to $3.00 per hundred higher than during the winter before. The heavy market ings were rightly interpreted as be ing an early marketing of a smaller number of hogs caused by a short corn crop and not as indicating a correspondingly large number of hogs. "But unless these estimates can be kept dependable the trade will dis regard them and will be guided either by private estimates or by ac tual marketings as these take place. Therefore, every farmer should help to make these reports accurate by making the report for his own farm complete and accurate."

Constantinople, Though Turkish girls have only within the past few years entered the industrial and bus iness world, they already have learn ed how to go on strike. The tele phone operators of Constantinople organized a union some v three months ago and have laid before the directors of the company an Eng lish concern, a demand for a 50 per cent increase in salaries. The present average wage for a "hello-girl" is 25 liras a month. about $15. The chief operators re ceive less than $1S per month while some of the girls receive only $11. As the company has failed to grant the request for an increase, the girls have announced their in tetion to walk out. The leaders in the movement are Turkish, but the Greek and Jewish employes will join them "in perfect unanimity," as their ultimatum reads, "without dis tinction of race or religion."

Cal., Where are tho song-slides of yesteryear, and where are the earliest American picture actors who posed for these quaint, sentimental stereoptican views? Most of the song-slides no doubt have been thrown away long ago, save for a few still hoarded as sou venirs bv the theatre folk of a passing generation; but as for the "picture actors" who posed for them, some are just where one would ex pect to find them in the movies. For instance, a search of the Fa mous Players-Lasky lot here reveal ed Tom Fortune, who was headlined in the nineties as a singer of popular songs. Fortune claims to have been the first entertainer to sing song hits to the accompaniment of stere-! optican slides. J It was in 1 S f 6. in the American; theatre on Chicago's north side, ' that he was engaged to introduce; tli is startling innovation to the ;)Iaygoing public. Retween the acts ik a comedy being presented at the American, he sang "After the Ball"j and other compositions of the day. i The lantern slides illustrating his; songs v.ere a big hit. Soon thej making of song-slides became a small industry. Fortune posed for many slides, j Usually a slide had to be made for j each line of the song. First one, posed with one's partner for. "In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree, ' and then snapped into the tabueau for "Where the Love in Your Eyes I Cou'd See," and so on thru the . sentimental itinerary of the ballad. I From this posing for song-slides to acting in motion pictures was a natural transition. When Ediscn produced "The Great Train Rob bery," Tom Fortune was in the cast, and by the time the song-slide as an illustration had slipped into : oblivion. Fortune and most of the other song-slideers had slipped safe ly into the films. Los Angeles, Nov. 28.
