best heretofore. And it isn’t because
he thinks it is a higher form of “bis

cause he sees more chance for de-
velopment. No. It is merely be-
cause, like most people, be is lazy.
And dramatic roles, be says, corns
! more naturally and mean less work to
' him.
“Dramatic roles are easier, so I like
them better,’’ said Haines. “In a dra-
i matte role on the screen, all the actor
has to do is obey the director. The
director says, ‘Look over there,’ and
the player looks over there; the di-
rector says, ‘Raise your eyebrows,’
and the actor raises his eyebrows.
“In comedy the player has to keep
working his old bean at the problem
of how he can be funny, and be does
what he thinks is funny, and more
times than not it's pretty sad, and he
has to start thinking all over again. |
Doing comedy is a constant strain. It
isn’t easy to be funny for an audience.

less than half of what they are pric-
ed today.
To save this investment it is neces-
sary that owners appreciate the need
for immediate attention and begin a
program of terracing and soil and
moisture conservation at once.
Experiments have shown that in
Texas the average amount of rain-
fall lost to crops because of the lack
of humus in the soil, and the absence
of terraces is more than 25 per cent of
the total. No matter how much rain
we have during the spring mo.itns
there comes a time late in June, Jalv,
and August when our crops need rain,
and it seldom comes. In no State in
the Union are crops dependent .vj
much upon moisture at the right time

in the second place, I don't, believe in
taking a serious view cf anything, so ^
far as outward appearances are con-

nominations prevailed, and everyone
seemed to enjoy the services and won-
derful good was done in the commun-
ity.
Special prayer meetings were held
for the children and they were r»-

good interest in these services.

thing else, i love the spontaneity of

and do what i am doing. And I am
satisfied with pictures if they make
money—which is another way of say-

“And that’s all the interview I can

Haines concluded.

Landowners Must Protect the Soil
As the humus is taken from the
soil, the more easily does, that soil
wash away. Humus soaks ■ up and
stores moisture for plant use, during
the dry months of the year. S&U not
physically able to store UP moisture
dissolves and runs off, and thus 'we
have lands in the Southwest which
eroded very little a few years ago, be
cause the humus was not exhausted,
which are washing badly with every
rain today. In some cases it has been
observed that more than IS Inches
of top soil has washed "nay during
the Pest ten or fifteen years. This
does not mean that the fields linv.
developed gullies, but that the top
soil has been removed in a manner
known as sheet erosion, which leaves
no risible evidence of ij.jd washing
except that the yellow sub-sol! ««r
white rock, as the case may he, be
comet, exposed.
