72 Oranges for 25 Cents.
The Horse Was the Star.
Above the Knee, Please.
20 Million Feet a Day.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE.
---
Who, in the cold east could be
lieve this?
You drive from Los Angeles to
Hollywood, here in southern Cali
fornia, and along the road are wa
gons filled with yellow ripe oranges,
with signs that read, “Six dozen
oranges for 25 cents.”
And that is not a misprint. You
buy a dozen oranges for 5 cents,
six dozen for a quarter.
Who, In Florida or California
will find a way to squeeze out,
transport and deliver to homes in
1he north, pure orange juice, with
the vitamins in good working
order?
The steel monoplane may arrange
that. The dashing young man will
have his orange juice route, instead
of his milk^route. A thousand
pounds of orange juice would sup
ply many families.
As interesting as the price of
oranges are stories of moving pic
ture success, and humble starting.
For instance, take Miss Norma Tal
madge, in real life Mrs. Joseph
Schenck. Now she is all dressed in
fine spun, knitted green and gold
silk, held together, here and there,
with big diamonds.
No butterfly could look better.
How did she begin? She tells you.
“It’s a simple story that gave me
my first moving picture chance. I
was discovered kissing a man, un
der a photographer’s black cloth,
the kind they use to cover a country
camera.
“An Intelligent trained horse
lifted up the cloth with his teeth
and revealed me.
"Was I the star of that picture?
No, the horse was the star, and had
bis name in big letters. I was not
mentioned, but I got $3 a day, and
my lunch.
“And it was a start, which is all
anybody can ask for.”
Now Miss Talmadge is paid 10
times as much as the people pay
their president, and the horse is no
longer the star in her picture.
“From log cabin to White House”
is, financially speaking, mild in
comparison with movie success—
sometimes.
But, young ladies on farms and
in small cities, do not come crowd
ing to Hollywood, unless you bring
money enough to last for three
months, at least, plus enough to take
you home again. Of 100 that come
not more than 10 even secure places
as supernumeraries, at $2 or $3 a
day. Many bitter disappointments
and sad stories are here.
Success is hard always, and
harder in moving pictures than in
other work. Merely being pretty,
and ambitious, with curly hair is
not enough.
Paris rulers of fashion say to
Women, all over the world:
“Wear your skirts above your
knpcs, and paint your ears red.”
And the pathetic fact is that mil
lions of women will wear skirts so
short as to be silly, and paint their
cars without loss of time. Al^o the
eyelids ade to be stained dark brown
or blue, the eye-Iashcs curlpd, and
the inside-of the nostrils stained
bright red.
The short skirt, in reason, is sen
sible, a step toward common sense,
and away from microbes. Red ears,
when natural, indicate good blood
condition. But for women to wear
skirts that would look foolish on a
child, paint artificial health on their
ears, curl their lashes and color
their eyelids, that seems too much.
However, back of it all there is
divine wisdom, undoubtedly. Wo
man is on her way to some grand
destiny. Let ua observe and ad
mire, but not criticize.
We can estimate the svealth un
derground in this country. The
Marrland Oil company strikes a
new oil well in its Colorado terri
tory. The roar of the gas, rushing
out, 20,000,000 feet a day, can be
heard for six miles. If gas were
worth $1 a thousand, which is called
“a cheap, confiscatory price,” how
much would that well yield in
money?
7* And the wealth in the ground is
perhaps less than the wealth in the
air. Floating above every farm,
waiting to be taken out and used, is
enough nitrogen to fertilize many
such farms. We buy nitrogen
hauled all the way from South
* America, and there are billions of
tons of it, abpve our heads.
And what is the wealth below
the waters of the oceans, sens and
lakes, that cover the greater part
of the earth?
Here and there, along the Pacific
coast, you see oil wells out in the
ocean. Where the ocean now is,
dry land once was, and vice versa.
Men eventually will explore the
ocean's bed, as they now explore
Alaska, or Africa, and give to the
fnrms, from the air, the nitrogen
they need. Henry Ford would do
it now, if he had Muscle Shoals.
Assistant Postmaster Ceneral
Henderson promises a night air mail
service between New York and Chi
cagon beginning in July.
• Letters mailed at the end of a
business day in Chicago or New
York, will be read early the next
morning. That’s one more step to
ward real air traffic.
Within a short time, boys from
the farm will be delivering perish
able products in cities 200 or 300
miles away, in Edsel B. Ford's all
steel flying machines.
In 20 years, to travel all night on
a trip that can be flown in three
hours or less, will seem as old-fash
ioned as the stage coach.
The up-to-date young traveling
aalestnan will drive his own all
metal monoplane, taking his sam
ples with him, sleep in a regular
bed every night, and cut traveling
expenses to nothing.

The screen adaptation of this Har
old Bell Wright novel is fully as en
tc-rtolning as a film as It Is In book
form. The east has been ideally pick
ed and Inasmuch as the author him
self supervised the production, the
backgrounds are as authentic as pos
sible. The story furnishes remark
able screen material and the charac
ters are true endugh to life that it
seems they had literally stepped out
of the pages of the book.
The title role Is essayed by Ken
neth Harlan In a manner that will
keep him uppermost In the minds of
film patrons for some time to come.
For those who are not familiar
w ith the story, it concerns Brian
Kent, a good man at heart, who In
order to satisfy the cravings of a
fun-loving wife steals a small sum
of money from the bank by which
he is employed. Fear of his detec
tion causes him to flee, and with sui
cidal Intent he embarks In a small
boat down a river In the Ozark coun
try of Misso'url. He ts saved by s
mountain girl, Judy, who conducts
him to the home of Auntie Sue, a
lovable old character. Under her
guidance the re-creation of Brian is
started. Brian is inspired to write

Two Singers Win
Marine Shares Honors With
Blackface Artist—Bessie
Barriscale on Bill.
Harry Holbrook and Joe Darcey
are popular as singers with the new
Hill at the Orpheum. Holbrook, ac
companied hy Bruce lvfng at the pi
ano, appears in the uniform of the
United States Marine corps and ren
ders pleasingly several standard selec
tions. Including Ernest Ball’s "The
Prodigal,’’ "Song cf SoYigs" by Boyer,
"On the Road to Mandalay,” and a
grand opera burlesque feature on the
ancient song, ’'Bananas.” Darcey.
blackface songster, has an Individual
style of putting over his ballads and
otherwise ingratiating himself.
“Scrubby” is the name of a farcical
skit written In commonplace manner
and which serves as a vehicle for the
presentation of Bessie Barriscale,
who has been Identified with motio'n
pictures. Miss Barriscale appears
first as a scrub girl, uncouth of man
ner and speech, and in the second
part she appears transformed In man
ners snd garments to show what can
be done with a scrub girl In one year
hy a man who has inclination and
money. The act arouses a bit of
laughter, but does noV call for any
extended praise. Howard Hickman,
who wrote the skit, appears with
Miss Barriscale.
In his line Don Valerio demon
strates that he Is a leader. His
dancing on a wire arouses merited
applause. The closing circus act of
Bo^tock's riding school with IJlllan
St. I^eon, arouses Interest and merri
ment. It closes with an amusing
demonstration of how circus riders
are made. Several thrilling stunts
are Included In this act. The danc
ing act of Eileen Scho'flsld has sev
eral meritorious features, including
the fancy steps of one of the four
young men who assist. Bert Torke
and Ed Lord have a line of whim
sicalities and nonsense which has an
appeal to those who enjoy the slap
stick variety of entertainment.

When one finds that Vicente Blasco
Ibanez, author of “The Four Horse

mies of Women,” wrote the story;
that Hebe Daniels and Rlcardrf Cortez
are cast In the leading roles, and
that Allan Dwan directed. It becomes
obvious that the film Is worth see
ing.
However, get ns right In1 the fact
that we do not think the picture Is
on a par with the previous efforts of
this author, but It Is on entertaining
film, nevertheless, with the romantic
atmosphere of the Argentine through
out. P.ehe Daniels' capability of play
ing this type of role Is without ques
tion, and Cortez does some nice act
ing ns the hot-blooded nnd vllllanous
Spaniard.
At times it looks as though both
sets and costumes were a re-showing
of Rudolph Valentino’s "A Sainted
Devil,” and there is entirely too
much posing done by the cast. The
story also is Inclined to be slow mov
ing and the sets are decidedly stagey
in places.
The plot concerns a young Spanish
girl who is pledged to Juan Martin,
a young Spaniard who has helped
her father financially. But on a
trip to America she meets Phillip
Seara, an American engineer, with
whom she falls In love. T'pbraided
by her father, she moves from her
home, defying Martin, who Is later
sought for slaying a man who has
flirted with tho girl. Sears arrives
In lime to save the girl from being
whipped out of town, and Martin Is
shot by ths father of the slain lover.
The film n» a whole should prove
fairly satisfying to the majority.

which Is showing In connection with
the picture program, has been nicely
staged and a group of good looking
young women effectively display an
array of spring clothes.
Art Randalls Royal Fontenelle or

This derision makes ths candidacy of

Slightly to Hike
to Discount Rate
—?.
Volume of Trading Moder
ately Contracted—Cheek
Noted in Steady
Price Increase.
B» tuorlntnl Pn>»».
N'cw York, March 8.—The most
significant development In the bond
market last week was the very slight
reaction of securities to the recent
increase In the federal reserve redis
count rate. A moderate contraction
In the volume of trading took place,
but apparently the only effect on
prices was a check to the upward
movement which had progressed
gradually since the first of (lie year.
Coming at the end of a period of
stiffening money conditions, the re
vision of the hank rate occasioned lit
tle fear that there would he a further
sharp upturn in time funds within
the next few months. The general
action of the market Indicated that
the money situation lind exerted only
a minor influence on the price trend,
a survey of more than 100 investment
Issues showing the market value on
March 1 virtually the same as at the
beginning of February.
I,uli In New Financing.
The advance in the Band of Fng
land's discount rate to R per cent Is
not expected to affect Investment con
ditions here. Since It widens the dif
ferential between the New York and
London bank rates to 1 1-2 per cent
the change probably will prevent any
shift In American balances now held
abroad and so assist In the return of
sterling to a gold basis.
The comparative lull In new financ
ing remained unbroken last week.
Bond offerings totalled approximately
$.15,000,000, less than half the volume
of the preceding week, when the mar
ket absorbed $75,000,000 In new Is
sues. Business Is expected to expand
this week, with preparations about
completed for offerings of more than
$65,000,000. Among the major Items
on the schedule are $23,000,000 for
(he Oklahoma Has and Klectrle com
pany, $15,000,000 for the Toho Klec
trlc company of Japan, $10,000,000 for
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit com
pany and $7,000,000 for the TTtah
Tdaho Sugar company.
St. Paul Honda Fluctuate.
Whpre price changes of any Im
portance took place last week, they
were attributable to special develop
ments. Trading was enlivened by the
erratic fluctuations of St. Paul Rail
way bonds, which offered opportuni
ties for speculative operations. In
view of the uncertainty regarding the
road's ability to refund about $48,000,
000 4 per cent bonds maturing In
June selling pressure against tills is
sue was particularly heavy. On the
other hand there was evidence of
"switching" Into St. Paul Issues by
those who maintained hope that n
successful solution to the company's
problems would be found.
Prospects that a reorganization
plan for RVUson & Co., Chicago pack
ers forced Into receivership list year,
soon would be effected promoted a
rally In these obligations. Many con
vertible railroad and industrial Issues
kept pace with the movement of
stock*.
Initial subscriptions to the I'nlted
State* treasurv'a new offering of 3
per cent certificates and 4 per cent
anif long term bonds indicated that
the operation would he unusually
successful.

Increased Care in

By RICHARD sriM.AXE.
New York, March S.—There is!
more sobriety of statement regarding
security values and business pros
pects than was common recently.
That is not unhealthy or surprising.
The average pr#re of shares dealt
in on the New York stock exchange
was at the highest in history last
week. At the same time the prices
of tlie grains was very high and of
cotton and various other products
quite high. Toward the close of the
week there was a small recession in
stock values and a drop of nearly 25
cents la the price of May wheat.
The decline in stocks synchronized
with reports from some distributive
centers that in various lines of gen
eral merchandising business was lit
tle if any larger In volume than this
time last year and from the steel
centers that while present produc
tion was nearly capacity, orders for
the second quarter of the year were
not so large as expected.
Railroads Prosper.
About as simple a description of
’the seeming change in the general
attitude toward securities and com
modities is that from the time of the
national election until Just recently
people in their oomplele confidence
were inclined to buy. .Vow they are
inclined to examine first, whether
goods or securities—and buy only
what thpy consider represents real
value. Meanwhile dealers In odd
lots—that Is from 1 to 99 shares of
stock—^report the largest business In
a long time. That would indicate con
fidence on the part of the mass of
people in conditions generally regard
less .of the doubts that pester the
professionals.
Heads of the large dry goods dis
tributing concerns report business
about the same as this time last year.
General opinion has been that It was
considerably larger. The railroads
are doing handsomely. It is not so
much.. In Increased traffic as in
greater economy in operation.
Exports I-arge.
Exports continue large. Those of
cotton are amazingly good with pros
pects of the greatest total attained
except in a wartime year.
The textile business in Europe has
revived wonderfully and there is slow
but good improvement in America.
The copper industry is dull at pres
ent owing to its chronic trouble of
over production. Recession in price
is curing this condition.
A greatly improved outlook has
brought a goodly measure of prosper
ity within reach of the oil people and
most of the other major and minor
departments of the nation's business
are doing well. Money continues

that have taken place In the style
of furniture during the last few
years," says Wilbur Brandt. “Fur
niture styles which were quite the
rage only a few years ago are al
most obsolete now." The tendency
or present in living room furniture
scorns to l»e in the smaller oblong or
rxlcVshaped tables rather than the
longer library or sofa tables. There
is a great demand now for down
filled chairs and sofas instead of the
cheaper spring-filled construction.”
The Brandt Furniture company is
making an unusual effort to show
solid mahogany and solid walnut fur
niture rather than veneer or combi
nation woods. The solid woods are
enduring and once installed id a home
become vi source of satisfaction for a
lifetime. The illustration shown above
depicts one of the popular designs in
odd chairs so much in vogue. These
chairs are shown in varicolored de
signs of wool tapestry.

the book* of the hank of Fort Blark
mnre. ip Scott county, Virginia, to

150 Acres Added

by Omalians’ Gift
m
Dr. Gifford and Mrs. Joslyn
Extend Area of Fontenelle
Forest Ity Land Deeds
\ allied at $100,000.
The actual domain of the Knntenelle
forest has heen Increased. Gifts from
Dr. and Mrs. Harold Gifford and Mrs.
Sarah H. Joslyn have extended the
area of the forest from 357 acres to
517 acres.
Deeds, which were delivered re
cently to the Kontenelle Forest asso
ciation, which holds title to the prop
erty under Its charter from the state
of Nebraska, convey by gift 73 acres
from Mrs. Joslyn and 77 acres from
Dr. ami Mrs. Gifford. These gifts ex
tend the forest north, west and south.
Gifts Valued at $100,000.
Cash value of the gifts I9 approxi
mately *100,00(1, it is said.
The deed from Dr. Gifford contains
a provision that the portion of the
land from which the heavy timber has
been cut shall forever remain “chap
paral," or small growth timber. It is
the idea to thus provide sanctuary for
the birds who make home In dense
thickets and undergrowth.
As the main forest Is covered with
a tine stand of heavy natural trees,
ample provisions already exist for the
birds and beasts that make homes In
heavy timber. The doctor has pro
vided for the accommodation of those
shyer creatures who live In retire
ment.
Would Curb Vandalism.
Fontenelle forest has suffered some
from vandalism. Steps will be taken
by the board to protect the wild
growth. It Is Intended that the public
shall enjoy this splendid tract of
woodland to the utmost, but It is
thought necessary that the wild
growth be protected from the
thoughtlessness of those who damage
It through careless or wanton Ignor
ance.
It Is possible tha^ additional trails
will be laid out by means of which
the forest may Is* more easily
traversed, hut the object of the hoard
is to preserve It as far as possible
in its natural state of wilderness,
CHADRON WOMAN
SHOOTS AT MATE

in trouble between Mr. and Mrs. Kd
Phillips, divorced, wns reached here

a suspicion in the mind of Mrs. Phil

another woman. Judge Westover re
cently issued a decree that the child
be given to Phillips, providing he
lake him from Chadron and mitigate
chances for further trouble. t’pon

Get Back
\
in
ARE you dragging around day after
-day with a dull, constant back
ache? Do you feel stiff and achy;
suffer sharp stabs* of pain? You should
know, then, that these troubles are often
the result of imperfect elimination. Win
ter’s colds and chills are apt to overtax
the kidneys and they fall behind in
keeping the blood-stream pure. That’s why winter, for many folks, is a time of back
ache, rheumatic pains and annoying kidney irregularities. Too often the real trouble is
lost sight of until some dangerous ailment sets in. If your kidneys are sluggish, don’t
risk serious sickness. Help them with a stimulant diuretic. Use Doan’* Pill*. 50,000
people are publicly endorsing Doan’s. Many are Omaha residents. Ask your neighbor.
Read How These Omaha Folks Found Relief:
MRS. JULIANNA TRUMMF.R, 2216
South 18th St., says: “My hack ached
a( times and 1 became run down.
Headaches nnd dizzy spells were fre
quent and my kidneys acted too often.
1 used Doan's Pills and they flushed
and regulated my kidneys nnd re
lieved the aches and pains.” (State
ment given October 4. 1922).
On June 26, 1924, Mrs. Trummer
added: “I use Doan's Pills occasionally
when 1 feel the need of a kidney
remedy. They keep my kidneys in
fine shape."
JAMES MORRISSEY. 2526 Sprague
Si., says: "My hack wa» lame and
weak and there was a steady hurting
through the small of it. At times, after
a hard day’s work, 1 couldn't straighten
up, because of sharp pains, which
darted through my hack. There wasn't
a night that I didn’t have to get up to
pass the kidney secretions, which burn,
ed and irritated in passage and con
tained sediment. Poan’s Pills com
pletely cured me. and I only needed
two boxes from Sherman & McCon
nell’s Drug Store. The cure has lasted."

MRS. M. SPICER, 2028 North 19th
St , »«>»; “My hark ached and pained
a pood deal and there was a continual
soreness through the small of it. It |
was so lame and weak that my kidneys
seemed to throb and my back felt un
supported. 1 felt ttrod and languid all i
the while. Dixxy spells were frequent
when it seemed tiny specks came be
fore my eyes and blurred my sight.
One box of Doan's Pills from Sherman
& McConnell’s Drug Store completely
rid me of the attack.”
