FARM LABOR BACK
TO NORMAL SUPPLY
CHICAGO, 111., Dec. 5—The short
age in the supply of farm labor that
has existed since Spring has been
checked, and the ratio of the sup
ply to the demand averages 99.7 per
cent., or practically normal, accord
ing to a Chicago Agricultural Foun
dation report, based on figures pre
pared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
A labor shortage exists in the
North Atlantic states, where the de
mand is 88.4 per cent, normal, while
the supply is only 79.1 per cent.T.hi
is due, according to the report, to
the emigration of negro labor to the
northern industrial centers.
The most serious surplus of farm
labor is found in Western states,
where the supply is 102.2 per cent,
normal and is competing with an
86.5 per cent normal demand. This
gives a 118.2 per cent supply of de
mand ratio, the report states.
Supply of labor on October 1,
1923, was 77.5 per cent, of normal,
and demand was 91.5 per cent, mak
ing an 84.8 per cent, supply of de
mand ratio. On September 1 of this
fall the ratio stood at 99.7 per cent,
or practically normal.
With improvement in farm condi
tions and a movement of demand
back to normal, corresponding in
crease in supply is looked for. While,
as a whole, the supply of farm la
bor has increased, and the demand
has decreased slightly, no serious
farm labor shortage or surplus is an
ticipated, the Foundation concludes.
NORTH DAKOTA PLUMS
GROWN IN ALBERTA
BEAVER LODGE, Alberta, Dec.
5.—First plums to be garnered in
the Peace River country have been
picked from three-year-old trees at
the Dominion experimental farm
here.
The plum variety which has made
this remarkable record is known as
“Tom Thumb.” It was obatined from
North Dakota by the department of
agriculture and planted on the farm
here. The fruit was of good size
and coloring and of a piquant flavor.
THE WHITE ROSE DRAWS
LARGE CROWD TO LIBERTY
The ten reel drama, “The White
Rose,” shown at the Liberty theatre
last night drew a large crowd, those
seeing it being universally pleased
with the picture. The scenery espe
cially appealed to the audience, the
liveoaks festooned with Spanish moss
and the quaint Southern characters
carrying the audience back to another
generation.
The story portrays the life of a
young settlement worker, raised by
a clean, conscientious mother, who
falls in love with a dance hall girl,
j and gives up all to follow her. The
story is full of chuckles, sighs and
tears, comedy being cleverly inter
mingled with pathos.

FAMOUS PRODUCER BROKE;
NOW WORKS AS A SUPE
LONDON, Dec. 5.—Once England’s
most famous theatrical producer, Syd
ney Ellisons, now ekes out a living
by appearing as a super in “The Sport
of Kings,” now running at the Savoy
Theatre.
Many years ago Ellison had five
successful plays in London. He was
the originator of the original “Floro
dora Sextet.”
Ill luck later struck him and ill
health which periodically sends him
to the hospital, sometimes prevents
him from drawing even his super’s
pay.

EXILES START RUMOR
OF MURDER OF KING
SOFIA, Dec. 5.—Origin of the re
cent false rumor of the assassina
tion of King Boris of Bulgaria has
now been traced to the exiled lead
ers of the Bulgarian Peasants’
union, now living lavishly in Bel
grade.
Exiled leaders, including Atha
nassoff, Oboff and Thodoroff, who
are said to be subsided by Moscow,
meeting in Belgrade recently, form
ed a provisional government whose
program was the overthrow of th*1
present Bulgarian cabinet, dethrone
ment of King Boris and the murder
of Premier Tsankoff. As a result of
this action the rumor spread that
Boris had been assassinated.
Apple prices probably will remain
high, for the commercial apple crop
of the United States is but 56 per
cent, of normal.
