EEQRGE BEBAN IN

George Beban, tho famous Italian
character actor, who will be seen at
the Arcade on Friday and Saturday
in his latest production, "A Roadside
Impresario," has a hidden passion
that was not discovered until the film

This passion is for breaking dishes.
One of the incidents of the story
is where Mr. Beban is working as a

helper in a restaurant in order to
raise money to get Bruno, H's bear,
out of jail. Beban- finds an import
ant paper and certain members of his
company try to get it away from him.
Armed with a cleaver and a-pan full
of hot soup he keeps them at bay.
This scene takes place near one of
tho racks in which the hundreds of
clean dishes were stacked and t'p
ping the rack over had nothing to do
with the story. Several people noticed
during rehearsal that Mr. Beban look
ed at this rack with hungry eyes but
thought nothing of it, and as the
dishes were ail borrowed from a local
restaurant, it was supposed the star
would do no damage; but while the
scene was .being photographed, Mr.
(Beban managed to jump around in
such a way as to tip over the entire
rack containing the dishes. As soon
as he had finished the scene, he
dinarily are those belonging to men
that are more or less generally known
as "potato cranks". And while in a
few cases these men may not be per
fectly familiar with the various dis
eases, they do know good seed pota
toes and appreciate tha value of the
same, using seed from the best pro
ducing sections of their potato fields
or even selecting their seed from the,
heaviest yielding hills at digging time.
Along with this tho practice of
treating their potato seed before
planting with corrosive sublimate is
being practiced more each year. And
a combination of these two along with
the rotating of the crop is bound to
have a beneficial effect on the yield.
Mr. Kobert Clark who lives near
Island City, has been digging new po
tatoes for the past month and has had
a particularly good yield which he at
tributes to good seed' more than any
other thing. It is rather Interesting
to note the difference in yield that
he secured between potatoes planted
from common seed and those from
good seed that he secured from the
east at fancy price. Common seed pro
duced only one or two commercial po
tatocs in the hill while the yield from
the better seed produced in some
cases 10 to 15 good potatoes m
hill. Mr. Clark's early potatoes have
been yielding at a rate that will make
them worth several hundred dollars an
acre, and he certainly feels that he
was justified in paying an extra price
for good seed a year or two ago.
Mr. A. P. Davis and his son, Dee,
are also reporting a fair yield, and it
is quite generally known that they
also are men who are very particular
as to the class of potatoes they use
for seed.

Up to the present time very few po

Dry and very warm weather is cred

and certainly it is goii g to material

potatoes from attaining commt-rcinl

it is hard to say to how great an

We hear the statement often mnrie
that tho seed used this spring was

disappointing. However, there is con

many was as good os they thought it
was, unless you are acquainted with

from a tie used in the construction of
