HOLLYWOOD (Sp).—Your hum-
ble columnist has Justsreturned from
a week’s ? stay In the hospital. Al-
though a little -on the shaky side I
feel fine and I’m sure California’s
sun (which has been beating down
on us for lo these many Weeks) will
have me fit as a fiddle ere very
long.
I learned an Interesting and cer-
tainly most touching story while in
the hospital ... a story I'm sure
you’d like to'hear. My doctor, Dr.
William E. Branch, who incidental-
ly received his medical training in
Galveston, sends all of his patients
to the third floor of the Hollywood
Hospital. One of the nurses told me
of a beautiful room maintained in
the hospital by Joan Crawford. The
room has been completely done ov-
er, the drapes are of soft restful
hues, there's a bookshelf filled with
the latest best sellers, magazine
racks with the current magazines,
there's a small bedside radio. Each
day fresh flowers and a basket of
fruit are brought to the patient oc-
cupying the room. Here's the glor-
ious part of all this: any patient
occupying this room does so with-
out cost . . . that patient is there as
a “guest" of Joan Crawford's . . .
she pays all of the expenses df the
room. Usually patients in this room
are members of the mdtioii picture
industry, whether actors, writers,
directors or just plain workers in
the studios who have been out of
work for any length of time and
are in financial need. But on many
occasions patients in this room have
been financially embarrassed peo-
ple outside the movie industry. Joan
Crawford has gone up in my esti-
mation a great, great deal. Not only
is she a tine actress, but what a
fine person to do a thing like this
. . I and so quietly too.

"Stella, do you think I’ll ever reach
the top. Oh Gee, won’t it be won-
derful if I do?” Last week I tele-
phoned Jane and told her she had
reached the top for I had just seen
her in “We Are Not Alone.” As the
shy little governess who falls in
love with the shy little doctor (play-
ed by Paul Muni) Jane reaches su-
perb heights as an actress. She
steals the show from Muni and from
Flora Robson who plays the nag-
ging wife. Jane Bryan deserves this
success for she has worked hard
and because she Is a level-headed
girl with a heart of gold and a
friendliness and kindliness that is
refreshing and much to be admired.
There are other good shows book-
ed for Sinton this week. “The Saint
in London” is, in my opinion, the
best of the Saint series pictures. It's
a good mystery-comedy with lots of
good dialogue.
WAR
AND THE
DAIRY BUSINESS
COLLEGE STATION, Dec. 6 —
The war will have, little direct ef-
fect on prices of milk, blitter, and
tnifk products, economists of the
V. 8. Department Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics, believe.
At the same time, the war is ex-
pected to stimulate industry and
thus aid consumers* income. This
in expected to brinK about increased
consumption and better prices. Some
increase in consumption would have
otcurred anyhow, they say.
The popular belief that the World
War brought about hitfh prices for
dairy products is without founda-
tion. The first effect of that war
wan to stimulate exports of evap-
orated milk and *cheese and to cur-
tail imports of the last Commodity.
Actually this condition accounted
for a very small part of Trite!

CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT
^ Agricultural Adjustment Administration
& Forme jp In this county will vote December 9 on whether marketing quotas
are to be made elective lor the 1940 cotton crop. Sample ballot to be used
ie shown above. American farmers have a market lor around 12 million balee
oi cotton per year. Production during the last 3 years Is shown in the chart;
In 1937, without any marketing control measures available, producers planted
a large acreage which, with high yields, resulted In a record crop ol nearly
19 million bales. Cotton growers approved marketing quotas lor banding
i their 1938 and 1939 crops, and production in each ol thgse years was approxl-
i mately 11,900,000 bales, yet the surplus produced In 1937 Is sOU hanging over
the market Marketing quotas are provided In the {arm program to iofeetaU
1 further increases In our already large cotton supply and to guarantee t$iat this
\ non-cooperator does not get an unfair share oi the market lor American cotton.

‘The Adventures of
Sherlock Holmes’
With the fine succors of ‘The
Hound of the Bqskervilles" still
fresh in the memory of Sinton’s
movie-goers, there will soon be an-
other Conan Doyle treat when "The
Adventures of Sherlock Holmee"
reaches the Rialto Theatre on Wed-
nesday and Thursday. Basil Rath-
bone again plays the master-detec-
tive, with Nigel Bruce as Dr. Wat-
son. The film pits Holmes against
his arch-enemy; the fiendish Mor-
iarty, in the super-crime of the cen-
tury’— the attempted theft of the
$15,000,000; British crown jewels!
An absorbing, powerful love story
runs through the Edwin Blum-
Wtllium Drake screen play, the ro-
mantic roles being taken by Ida
l.iipipo and Alan Marshal. Included
iu the east of the. 2.0th Gentry-Fox
film are Terry Kiiburn, George
Zueey (las, MoTiutty), Henry Ste-
phenson atid E, E. Clive.
