On .Thursday and Friday of last week . 'Sect itary of agriculture, Jardine I was in conference with a represen i tative gTouup of national leaders of ■ co-operative marketing associations ! to determine their wishes as to how I the ( United States Department of ; Agriculture might more effectively serve the co-operative movements in its many aspects. For several weeks Secretary Jardine has conferred with j co-operative leaders from different ' sections of the country with the de ! sire to determine how the work of ! the department might be directed to ■ be more helpful to this important farm movement. The conference of some twenty j leaders last week heartily approved ! the idea of extending the work of the department and worked out a definite plan to bring this about i Among other things it is proposed that the department should be strengthened by the establishment of a Division of Co-operative Mar keting. According to a statement i made at the Department Jardine of Agriculture today, this plan meets I the unqualified approval of Secre tary Jardine. It is pointed out, how ’ ever, that this plan is in its forma tive stage and will be discussed wth other co-operative leaders during the next few weeks with the idea in mind ; that a definite proposal, with the support of all co-operative organiza tions, will be presented at the com ing session of Congress. “SOILED" AT DUDLEY’S The most high-geared cast of all those seen recently in pictures will arrive at Dudley’s today when “Soil ed” comes to town for a 2 days run. Heading the bill is Vivian Martin, for four years a Paramount star, since then a musical comedy star in "Just Married,” the Shubert attrac tion which played one year in New York and two years on th e road. Opposite her is Kenneth Harlan, star of “The Virginian” and other successful pictures without number, known as the screen’s most manly leading man. Secand lead of “Soiled” goes to Mildred Harris (Mrs. Charlie Chap -1 ) whose amazing performance in ’“The Price of a Good Time” is still remembered by jaded playgoers.. In love with her is Johnnie Walk- SPARKSCIROJS HERE SATURDAY Patrons May Stroke the Glossy Coat of the Tiger If They So Desire Many who have visited menagerie of Sparks’ Circus this season have been accorded the unusual privi lege of stroking a tiger’s back and touching the sharp points of his claws -to see how this jungle cat "scratches.” The skin of no animal -s more beautiful than the soft, glossy coat of the tiger, nor are the claws of any best as dangerous. i The lion has always been accorded! many noble qualities in fable and i story, but the tiger has borne the unenviable reputation of being a] death-dealing, pitiless pnimal, show ing no mercy to man or beast. er, the notion's favorite son—ever since he beat up his elder brother in “Over the Hill.” In this picture he has a new moth er Mary Alden, the star of Rupert Hughes’ greatest study of famih | life, “Old Nest.” Aiec B.
