WHY NO HARVESTERS NEEDED (Montreal Star) With regard to the labour needed for harvesting the crop there seems to be some misapprehension of the causes that have led to the announce- ment of the railway companies that no special harvester excursions will be run from the East this year. This is not due to the anticipated shortage of the crop, for the area seeded this year was probably larger than that of last year, and it is by measurement of 'acreage and not bushel yield that the number of workers is determined. The reasen that the West is not ask- ing for harvest volunteers this year is mainly due to the rapid increase in the number of harvester-combine machines which are in operation this year, It is estimated that each of these machines does the work of four men, and as about ten thousand of them are distributed over the prairie provinces,' it is a matter of simple arithmetic to figure on the saving this made. The harvester-combine may yet work a revolution in grain growing in Western Canada. I. REPRESENTATIVE AT LEAGUE Hon.

AND HANGS HINSELF Crazed Man Threw Furn- iture Through Windows Toronto, Aug. 9.~--In a frenzy at the end of a long drinking bout, Metro Stephanyk, 36, of 18 Augus- ta avenue, wrecked part of his home last night and then ended his own. life by hanging. himself. He was found in the cellar when po- lice visited the house in response to a call by his wife. Stephanyk, at the end of several weeks of hard drinking, was near lunacy, his wife told police. Re- turing to his home early last even- ing, he smashed a heavy kitchen M stove and several chairs, hurling Ontario. fragments through the windows, while his wife and a six-year-old daughter watched. He left the house again. Later in the evening, police later learned, he returned to his home and entered through a cellar win- dow, 'not going to the upper part of the house at all. No person knew of his presence. In silence he prepared for his death, swinging a bit of clothesline over a gas pipe. Shortly before midnight, worrl- ed at his non-appearance, Mrs. Ste- phanyk called police. As P.C.

Kellogg in RICE KRISPIES "ALIAS JIMMY VALENTINE" AT REGENT THEATRE For the past fifteen years, 'Alias Jimmy Valentine' has been per- haps the most sensationally and perennially successful play on the American stage. For over a generation, young and old America alike have thrill- ed, laughed and cried over the story of the dashing young crook who outwits the police forces of half a dozen cities, only to give himself away at last by cracking the safe in which is imprisoned the sister of the girl he loves. Now Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has taken the story and made it as modern as the costumes of the year after next. The picture with Wil- liam Haines as the star, and syu- 'chronized with sound, comes to the Regent Theatre. Haines, who gained his first rep- utation as the premier wise-crack- er of the American screen, brings to "Alias Jimmy Valentine" a sense of comedy that has been mel- lowed and softened by experience. To assist him in his laughs, Kari Dane and Tully Marshall, two of the most experienced laugh-getters of the screen, contribute what is perhaps the best performance of their career. The three of them bring a new idea to the screen, that of a comedy trio instead of a com- edy team. Their work together is a sensation. As leading lady, Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer selected Leila Hyams, who was chosen by Henry Clive, the nu- ted artist and illustrator, as the most beautiful blonde In Holly- wood. Clive interviewed more than 5,000 blondes before making his decision. Miss Hyams brings to "Alias Jimmy Valentine" more than a year's- experience with mo- tion pictures as well as a nerve and personality that is vivid and re- freshing. Jack Conway, who directs the production, was also responsible for several of Haines" early suc- cesses, including his famous polo picture, "The Smart Set." It is Conway who is responsible for HON.

[8 ARE ARRESTED IN BANK FAILURES Steps Taken for Impeach- ment of Alabama State Superintendent Birmingham, Ala.,, Aug. 9.--Arrest of 18 persons indioted by a Jefferson county grand jury in connection with the recent failure of four Birming- ham banks was completed yesterday and County Solicitor George Lewis Bailes and his aides had started mak- ing plans for early trials of the ac- cused persons. Meanwhile, impeachment recom- mendations voted by the grand jury against Judge C. E. Thomas, state superintendent of banks, were being put into shape. Judge Thomas has declared that he has no intention of resigning, and that he is confident of vindication when all the facts are known. LATE KING'S VALET DIES OF WOUNDS Found in His Home With His Throat Badly Gashed London, Aug. 9.--Edward Meid- | inger, for 33 years chief personal attendant of King Edward, died yesterday in hospital where he had been taken after -being found at his Leyton residence with throat wounds. The wounds were apar- ently self-inflicted. Meidinger lost his wife some years ago and his daughter was killed in an air raid during the war, but he always ap- peared cheerful, at least until re- «ently. It is understood he was in receipt of a pension from the royal family. Miedinger"s rooms were filled with mementoes of his long service with the laate King Edward. A telegram of condolence from the late Queen Alexandra on the death of his wife was found in his pocket, almost obliterated as a result of being continually carried about. As Prince of Wales, Edward VII was always regarded as the best- dressed man in the kingdom, but Meidinger was never very far be- hind his royal master in outward appearance. Right to the last he maintained the most correct style of clothing. His manners, too, to all and sundry, were entriely in keeping. "YOU CAN'T BEAT THE LAW" THRILLING DRAMA OF COPS AND CROOKS AT NEW MARTIN Based on true happenings in the annals of the Metropolitan police, "You Can't Beat the Law," the newest Rayart super-special to reach the screen, is a vivid picturi- zation of underworld life and the continuous battle which is forever waged between right and wrong-- the forces of law and order against those who prey upon society, with the offenders ceaselessly hunted until they are brought to justice. Lila Lee heads-the cast, which Cornelins Kgpefe, Betty Francisco and Warner Richmond, and each player gives a sincere por- trayal of the role assigned to him.
