FARM NOTES
(Continued from Page 1.)
since we have seen a better corn yield
than this County has pulled this fall.
We were on one farm this week and
found five houses and cribs brimful
and a big pile on the ground out in the
garden in a wire pen. It reminded us
of the corn harvest we saw one winter,
yeaVs ago, in Illinois and Kansas.
And we have never seen a farm with
too much corn and other feed stuffs.
There are so many ways in which a
feed crop can be handled.
Speaking of planning on the farm
for 1932. This has been brought to
mind the past two weeks relative to
the new cotton law. Like all new
things, various interpretations have
4)een applied to the new cotton law and
from some of the questions asked we
fear that some "horse swapping" is
contemplated. Due to so much land
in Matagorda County being in rice
and the law reading that 30 per cent
of the cultivated land can be planted
in cotton in 1932, gives this County
some 2000 acres more cotton in 1932
over the 1931 acreage. One mar#
asked the question this week if he
would be within the law to somehow
go 'cahoots' with a rice farmer; throw
their two holdings or leases together
under one name and plant 30 per cent
of the entire tract to cotton. The
answer is "yes" and "no" so far as
we are concerned but we don't want
to be "around" if there is any chance
of "taint" or "tarnish to crop out
later. We, of course, will have men
here and there, who would plant the
whole earth to cotton no matter what
the price may be, but the majority see
the necessity of an acreage cut and
are willing to abide by the letter of
the law. A strictly, all cotton farm
sooner or later goes down and more of
our men, both in and out of town, are
coming to realize that year by year.

"The Ruling Voice," the much-her-
alded true story of the inner workings
of the milk trusts with Walter Hus-
ton in the role of the big boss of the
ruthless game is to be seen at the Co-
lonial Theatre, Bay City, Tuesday,
Nov. 24th.
First National is using the brilliant
story by Rowland V. and Donald W.
Lee, has given the dynamic Mr. Hus-
ton a highly melodramatic vehicle.
They have also surrounded him with
a great cast which includes Loretta
Young, Doris Kenyon, David Man-
ners, John Halliday, Dudley Digges,
Gilbert Emery, Willard Robertson and
the remarkable child actor, Douglas
Scott.
Walter Huston plays the part of
Bannister—relentless head of an or-
ganization which decent citizens try
in vain to break. It is the coming of
Gloria, his daughter, who has been
educated abroad in ignorance of the
source of her father's wealth, that
makes him pause in his mad course.
The girl leaves him when she finds
the truth—complications of breathless
intensity follow—and the man who
wanted to leave his gang—even as
lesser fry of the underworld have
found—comes up against greater ob-
stacles than even he could have im-
agined.
It is a maddened victim of his ra-
pacity who finally ends the big shot's
big game. A great picture with a
great mission. Don't miss it!

The 'Trader Horn' expedition, which
penetrated Africa to film and record
Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer's mighty ad-
venture drama based on the famous
book, was the longest and most elab-
orate motion trek in history. W. S.
Van Dyke, director, headed the safari,
and Harry Carey, Edwina Booth, Dun-
can Renaldo and Olive Golden were
the principal players.
The entire trip covered more than
25,000 miles, much of it by motor or
on foot in the dense African jungles.
From the studio to the first location
meant 52 days of travel. The motor-
ized safari was accompanied by a
small army of hunters, guards, road-
makers, native guards and servants.
The safari was insured for $2,500,000.
Cover Wide Area
The route was as follows:—Culver
City to New York by rail, to Genoa,
thence Port Said and Mombasa, Brit-
ish East Africa, by ship, thence by
motor caravan to Naiobi, Masdini, Bu-
tabia, Panyamur, Uganda and Mur-
chison Falls, Lake Albert, thence into
the Belgian Congo. Side trips took
them into the Upper White Nile and
Victoria Nile country for special
scenes.
The caravan was composed of a
hundred trucks and autos. A portable
generator plant producing 1,400 am-
peres supplied the lights, electric mo-
tors for sound recording, electric re-
frigerator in food truck, and lit the
camp. There were thirty-five white
people in the safari, and about a hun-
dred native guards, laborers and hunt-
ers. For extras natives were hired in
different villages. At Panyamur they
'rented" an entire village from the
sultan.
They carried 30,000 pounds of can-
ned food, or two carloads, and picked
up fresh food wherever possible to
augment this. Autos plying back and
forth from locations to the nearest
villages relayed as much fresh food
as could be obtained.
Dr. J, B. Clarke, surgeon for the
party, maintained a complete surgery
and emergency hospital in one truck.
Roads had to be built ahead of the
safari by the native workers, who
cleared camps in the jungles. Some-
times the entire party had to walk
and help shove the trucks over difficult
territory or across rivers.
A portable radio, of the type used
by the U. S. Marine Corps, kept the
party in touch with civilization.
They carried several miles of elec-
tric cables, extra tires, auto and truck
parts for repairs, a motorized water
filtering plant, tons of costumes and
clothing. They developed their films
as they "shot" them and looked at
rushes" with a portable projector
and outdoor screen. An electrically
cooled vault kept the films safe until
civilization was reached again.

"If I cut a beefsteak in two," asked
the teacher, "and then cut the halves
in two, what do I get?"
"Quarters," answered the little boy.
"Good. And again?"
"Eighths."
"Correct. Again?"
"Sixteenths."
"Exactly, And then?"
"Thirty-seconds."
"And once more?"
"Hamburger," cried the little boy
impatiently.
"The Sky Raiders'
Coming to Queen
Sunday & Monday
GANGSTER PICTURE OF THE AIR
PACKED WITH ADVENTURE
& THRILLING STUNTS
Just when gangster pictures were
beginning to get on everybody': nerves
because of their set formula, along
comes one that is so different that it
an hold interest on the angle of nov-
elty alone—but it has plenty more.
It is "The Sky Raiders," the Columbia
sensational gangster picture of the
air, which shows at the Queen Thea-
tre next Sunday and Monday.
And when I say plenty more, that
is putting it mildly. The film is just
crammed full of the most daring and
astounding flying feats. You are held
in breathless suspense as one daring
stunt follows upon another in rapid
succession.
The story revolves around Pat Rog-
ers and Jimmy Devine, two pilots for
the O & P Aerial Express, One night,
Bob and Jimmy are sent out on a mis-
sion together. Bob, depressed after a
quarrel with his sweetheart—Jimmy's
sister, Grace—tries to drown his sor-
rows in liquor. He turns over the con-
trols of the plane to Jimmy, who has
just received his flying license. There
is a crash for which Bob takes full
blame.
Realizing that he must pay the pen-
alty by losing his license, Bob escapes
in an old plane to Mexico. There he
is pressed into service to act as pilot
for a gang of robbers who plan to rob
the O & P Express. When he finds
out what their game is, he makes a
thrilling escape in a parachute, brings
the gangsters to bay and saves the day
for the O & P.
Lloyd Hughes gives a convincing
and charming portrayal in the role of
Bob, the daredevil pilot, while Mar-
celine Day makes a very satisfactory
heroine. Excellent support is given
by the rest of the cast, which includes
Wheeler Oakman, Emerson Treacy,
Ed Le Saint and Walter Millei\ Chris-
ty Cabanne has done a skillful job
with the direction. If you like fast
action, don't miss this picture.
Stirred by complaints of several
citizens, police officers of Greensboro,
N. C., are seeking a bootlegger who
sold colored water at $5 a gallon, re-
presenting it as "the stuff."
