ANNIE OAKLEY COME TO DO STUFF W By Victor Olmsted Buffalo Bill was a grand old guy. He cold ride, shoot, play?and love. Maybe that's where Annie Oakley, the little country girl whom he developed into the world's most famous rifle shot?and also one of the wordl's most famous beauties? learned how to ride and shoot and play, and make love too. But there was one time when Annie made love too seriosly. And look what happened to her. Yeah;?look" Well, you can see her whole life portrayed at the Henn theater this Thursday matinee, at 2:30 and even, ing, and again on Friday evening. Annie will be impersonated by a young woman better known to you as Barbara Stanwick. Only difference is that Barbara is even more oeauiifui. Ami how that, gut can love?and shoot! They do say that Mis3 Stanwick hours daily, for months and months before she would even attempt the part. Of course you can't alwayt believe press agents. But you con believe this writer, who has seen the picture and who tells you. fair and square, that it's a wham! The film has all the romance of a quiet lake in moonlight, .with the shore just near enough to wade there if absolutely necessary. It has all the thrill of going over the top at zero hour. It has all the charm of J that first love your husband, or wife ?-would like you to forget.

Many vital parts such as carburetors, generators, distributors, etc., all reconditioned to new parts specifications, are also offered under the plan. Testimonials of commercial car users stand as proof of both the convienco and economy of the plan. The ready installation of the emtio, ment eliminates tie-ups in haulage and since the cast is less than the average cost of an engine overhaul, maintenance charges are reduced, say owners. Strong recommendations of the Ford Motor Company Exchange plan have come from all parts of the United States, and from some of the biggest trucking organizations in tho United States. E. J. Brooks of Ful. lerton, California, for instance, reports that one motor exchange en abled him to operate his truck 220.000 miles, carrying hay. lumber, and grain into and out of Imperial Valley ?one of the hottest places in tht state ? where often temperatures reach as high as 123-degrees in the shade. o teforMtatinn An To Floods Yn Vallies Flood damans in the South, such a? | ecently threatened the Tennessee i .'ailey, could be more effectively ; ihecked at its source by increased eforestation by govermental agencies md private landowners, according to bs^sh C. Kircher, Regional Forester , n charge of the Southern Region of he U. S. Forest Service. "Though the South is not a section , if the covmtry where the most desructive floods originate, large flood j image is caused from time to time | y rivers rising in the Ozarks and the iouthern Appalachians, and also the | verflow of streams in the southern i line states ranging from North Caro- i ina to Texas", Kircher stated. i "I know that a great many people ' ake the stand that it requires so I nng for trees to grow that reforesta. | ion, though it has value, is rot im- i ortar.t in acute situations. This is , ot ar accurate siew.

Hoffman of Studebaker, ; repared the report. t The committees agreed that e.f- 5 >rts to control automobile speed? t ; use of governors and limit then? 3 50 miles an hour would increase c :cidents. t "Not high speed but unsafe speed ( luses accidents" the devices com- c ittee found, explaining a fixed 50- r ile speed would prevent one cat v om passing another on the high- j ay if both were going at the same a ite and would add to already dan irous congestion. t "Therefore," it said, "it is our con- c usion that the maximum speed now , tilt into automobiles is not excessive a id, if properly handled, it is not a le cause of accidents. "We believe our solution lies not 1 1 the limitation of speed itself but 1 1 the education and the legal regu- ' ition of the driver so that he may ' I ways drive as safe speeds under all : aerating conditions." The manufacturers committee ex. ressed virtually the same views, but 1 ent further in recommending corective steps. It urged the creation of a "federal ighway safety coordinating agency eaded by a cabinet officer and con isting of heads of divisions or bueaus with legal authority to deal ith, or fiscal relationship to, maters directly related to highway ransportation safety." The proposed federal coordinating gency. the committee said, might >e under the commerce department ,nd include the buearu of census, >ureau of standards, buearu of pubic roads, motor vehicle bureau, and iffice of education. JUMW-" -^v e Seoul, Murphy, North C TO OFFER PRIZES IN NEW HIGHWAY SAFETY CAMPAIGN Washington, D. C., April 16.?A study of highway safety problems in one hundred thousand communities will be made throughout the nation as a result of the eleventh national safety campaign, announced today by the Highway Education Board. Remedial action will be sought. Eleven national organizations concerned with highway safety will collaborate in the campaign and those who make the study will represent the group that has the best record in acci. dent prevention in the United States today. Thomas H. MacDonald, Chief of the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads, is chairman of the Board. This group, according to the Board, is the elementary school children of the nation, whose safety during the period of the earlier campaigns is little less than phenomenal when com. pared with that of their elders. Dur. ing a ten year period while the adult fatality was increasing more than 200 per cent, the Board claims, the child rate remained stationary in the face of advancing car registration, car miles and growing population. When the activity among school children was suspended four or five years ago, the fatality rate insurance statistics reveal, showed a 17 per cent increase in one year. School Contest* Open To interest the schools again in 1 safety education, the Board announces a renewal of the safety essay and safety lesson contests opCn to elementary school pupits and teachers. ColLateral activity includes school boy patrols, the award of merit room ban. ners and school plaques. The contests are open to all pupils ui tne mui, sixtn, seventh and eighth grades, who are asked to write essays on the subject "A Definite Program for My Community to Prevent Highway Accidents and to Promote Highway Safety." To write on thi? subject pupils will need to study conditions in their several communities. As an incentive 440 state prizes and medals are to be given for the best essays, and three national awards will be made. The state prizes vary according to the elementary school population of the several states. All elementary school teachers en gaged in classroom instruction are eligible to compete for three national swards offered for the best lesson; an highway safety. Their subject i? 'A Lesson on Highway Safety foi children of My Community," and arizes total $1,00 in cash. The writer of the best lesson will receive $50C ind a trip to Washington with all ex aenses paid. The second and third aest lessons will earn for the authoi 1300 and $200 respectively. Offering Awards Altogether a total of $0,300 will i>e 1 riven away in prizes and awards, dis- ;1 ributed according to the excellence >t' the papers and the school popula. ion. The awards are made possible 1 >y the automotive industry, and the ntire campaign is part of a nation, vide movement sponsored by the inlustry to reduce the number of accilents on streets and highways. Anong the organizations cooperating n the campaign are the American Vssociation of Motor Vehicle Administrators, American Association of State Highway Officials, National Safety Council, National Education Association, American Automobile Asociation, National CongTess of Par. nts and Teachers. General Federaion of Women's Clubs, the National Irange, the International Association if Chiefs of Police the National Bu. eau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters, the American Legion, the larvard University Bureau of Street ind Traffic Research, and others. The contests are conducted with he aid and cooperation of the city, ounty, and state school officials,! vho are being asked to aid in the innouncenient of the competitions ind the selection of the essays and ire already nearly 4,000,000 acres of national forest land, but so distributed that another 4,000,000 acres should be added at perhaps a cost of $15,000,000 to effectively combat the flood menace to future generations. "In the Southern Appalachians we have 2,063,000 acres, which have been under protection for twenty-five years and have been a vital factor in checking floods in the rivers of Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and northern Alabama. Here we should have an additional 6,040,000 acres of land that would probabiy cost about $25,000,000. If steps were taken at the present time to acquire this land, it would not only be of prime importance in our national obligation to take measures to minimize the recurrence of floods that menace the welfare and happiness of thousands of persons each year, but it would have immediate relief possibilities." arolina ^roaion Control Part Of New Farm Program Controlling erosion, the thief of fertile topsoil from thousands of acres in North Carolina, is a prominent feature of +he new soil-improv. ment program. The soil-building and conserving crops advocated under the new program serve to check erosion in several ways, said John W. Goodman, assistant director of the State College agricultural extension service. While these crops are growing, he said, their roots form a thick n:at which holds the soil particle , in place They also check the run-off of rain water by impeding its flow downhill and by increasing the capacity of the land to absorb water in large quantities. Then after they have been ptowed under, the building and conserving crops add organic matter to the soi1 that makes it soft and spongy Rain soaks into such soil and is held for long periods. Soil well filled with organic matte: also has a greater tendency to re main in place than gritty sand 01 clay* soils, Goodman pointed out. When the soil absorbs large quantities of water, he continued, it pre vents floods during heavy rains and keeps the land from drying out so completely when rainfall is scarce. On an eight per cent slope, he added, a field on which nothing but corn is grown will lose 25 per cent of iV rainfall but immediate run-off and an average of 67 tons of soil per acre through erosion each year. Rut if the field is in a good soilbuilding crop, it will lose leas thar five per cent of its rainfall and only a few hundred pounds of soil per acre. When corn, wheat, and clover ar? ,jrown in rotation, the average runoff of rain water is less than half the an.ount from a field kept continually in corn, and the soil losses are only one seventh as much. lessons to receive the awards. Pupils and teachers have until May 15 in which to submit their papers, and it is expected that the results will be snnounced soon after the reopening sf school this fall. Descriptive literature containing detailed rules have been sent to each superintendent of publio and parochial schools in the United States. These officials then request the necessary number of additional announcements for use in the school and the classroom. This literature is supplied free. Booklets containing certain cf the better lessons of other years and other safety literature also are being distributed by the Board This activity marks the re-entry of the Highway Education Board into the safety field. For ten years it tarried on similar campaigns through the schools, with the result that ehii. Irep, through their intensive study of afety rules, escaped the heavy toll that claimed their elders.

Hines, Scott Ralston, and Locks Lowrance. Question: What fertilizer should be used for growing an early crop ?f sweet potatoes on sandy soil? Answer: A mixture containing J per cent nitrogen, 8 per cent phosphoric acid, and 8 per cent potash is recommended. Thia should be applied at the rate of 1,000 to 1,200 pounds to the acre. For sandy loam soils of the Coastal Plain where varieties such as Nancy Hall ar.d Porto Rico are grown for late har. vests, a 3-8-8 mixture applied at the rate of GOO to 800 pounds an acre will be best. Two-thirds of the nitrogen should be secured from inorganic sources and the remaining from organic sourcji. A man wrote Sheriff M. L. Se'.is, of Sioux Falls, S.
