    Farmers Oppose
6Hick’ Type Movie
Threat of Independent Pro
duction Made if Carica
tures Are Continued.
Chicago, Sopt. 20.—The ‘'hick”
farmer with hayseed In his whiskers
and trousers tucked in his boots,
caricatured in the movies and on the
stage, will be relegated to the same
shelf with the dado bird, if plans
approved here today at the publicity
convention of the American Farm
Bureau federation are successful.
Movies qn Broadway and State
street will dispell the ancient farmer
type and in his place present on the
sliver screen the modern farmer, a
type of business man with a capital
of from $25,000 to $100,000, an owner
of automobiles and the latest farm
machinery.
The blame for the old "Yankee
farmer” type being carried in the
minds of the majority of America’s
city dwellers was laid at the door
of the movie producers themselves by
Samuel Guard, director of publicity
of the federation.
“The farm Is modem and up to
date with all the convenlencea and
comforts of the city, but the film
Producer has woefully neglected to
keep pace with the farmer,” he de
clared. "They fall to depict us as
citizens, but prefer to picture us as
'hicks’ and ‘rubes.’
”\Ve don’t want these kind of cari
catures circulating among the public,
and if the motion picture interests
won’t picture rural life and districts
as they should be, we intend to pro
duce our own pictures.”
Not alone will the movies be used
to correct impressions of American
farms and farmers, but they will be
qaed, according to plans of the pub
ucity convention, to teach the latest
scientific methods of agriculture to
tika farmers themselves.
The American Farm Bureau fed
eration already has utilized the radio
in furthering farm work of the coun
try. Farm programs with practical
farmers or authorities on agricultural
problems are being broadcast weekly
from hundreds of stations throughout
the country and these will be in
creased materially in the near future.
W. S. Felt Dies.
Word has been received here of the
death of William S. Felt, who, until
last Jure 14, was superintendent of
the Fourteenth division of the rail
way mail with headquarters in
Omaha.
He cams here first In 1912 when
this division was organized and was
here until the war started when he
entered the censorship service. He
was sent hack here as superintendent,
February 1, 1923.
He was transferred to tit. Luuis last
June. Mr. Felt dropped dead on the
street in Kansas City.

Underwood Quits
League Support
Says He Saw Failure in Dis
pute Between Italy
and Greece.
By Associated Press.
Chicago. Sept. 21.—Senator Oscar
W. Underwood, Alabama's candidate
for the demorcratic presidential
nomination, is no longer a strong ad
vocate of the league of nations, he
is credited by the Chicago Tribune
today as saying in an Interview,
To tha senator, onca an eloquent
advocate of the league, who waa in
Chicago on his way to Washington
from a fishing vacation at Eagle
River, Wis., was attributed the fol
lowing statement:
"I am no longer a strong advocate
of the league of nations. My original
views are well known. However, on
my trip abroad I saw the league at
work. Developments then and sub
sequently have changed my attitude.
The failure of the league to function
in the dispute between Italy and
Greece had much to do with the
change."
The senator also said he did not
think the league would be an Issue
in the approaching presidential cam
paign.
"The present administration's lack
of a definite foreign policy and its
failure to achieve any notable ac
complishments at home will furnish
the best democratic campaign mater
ial,” the senator was quoted on cam
paign issues.

Women Voters in
Clash Over Funds
Omaha League Members Want
to Send Contributions
to Washington.
Has a local political body any right
to Interfere with funds of its national
body was the question raised at a
meeting of the Omaha League of
Women Voters Thursday afternoon at
the Y. W. C. A.
It ail came about because local
business men had contributed to that
certain fund of the National League
of Women Voters.
W. F. Baxter gave $100 to the sup
port of the league, former Senator
Gilbert Hitchcock, $10S and Senator R.
B. Howell, $10. Efforts by the state
league to add to this amount failed
throughout Nebraska, according to
reports.- The plan was to send the
$210 to national headquarters at
Washington, they In turn were to
send $50 to the Nebraska League of
Women Voters and the Omaha league
was to receive $25 of the state amount
for financial aid.
Mrs. H. J. Bailey, former president
of the Omaha League of Women
Voters, moved that the money be
given back to the donors.
