"SHOES"
Wonderful Photoplay Produced by Tho
Makers of "Where Are My
Children?"- the Dream
land, Next Monday
and Tuesday.

"Shoes'' depicts with gripping in
tensity Three Vital Weeks in the life
of a shop girl-the half slave, un-
derpaid Pawn of Commerce. At
home her mother takes in washing
to support two smaller children
and a lazy, good-for-nothing, novel
reading, can-rushing father; a male
too lazy to even look for work in
mortal fear that he might find it.
For every dollar the shop girl and
her mother can earn there is press
ing need-the rent is to be paid,
the butcher and baker demand cash
and father simply must have money
for beer and tobacco.
What matters if the shop girls
shoes are worn to tatters, that
pasteboard soles are required to keep
her feet from picking up splinters
from the rough floor behind the
counter where she stands? There is
need for every penny at home; and
so after three weeks Of promises
that she may take $500 from the
unopened pay envelops she lays
each Saturday night in her mothers
Ilap-she gets them! When she comes
home with the shoes on her feet her
mother follows the downcast eyes Of
her oldest daughter to where their
! steady gaze falls pitifully upcn the
new shoes and then the girl throws
herself in her mothers arms. The
tears of those two women mingle
IN a flood Of understanding and pity
and the sins of the child are wash.
ed away. But the commerce Of mar
i had bought her soul and girlhoot
body for pair Of shoes!

BOY CORN GROWER
WINS TRIP TO FAIR
Thirteen Year Old Marshall County
Boy Raises 1929 Bushels
of Corn to Acre.

With a yield of 1929 bushels to
the acre, Herman Probst, aged 13,
of Warren, claims recognition as a
corn grower. AS far as the boys
corn clubs are concerned, he has been
given it, for he was awarded one
of the ten honors for the best yields
in the northern section of the state
this year, according to announce
ments this week from the office of
T. A. Erickson, University farm, St.
Paul, state leader of boys and girls
clubs.
A free trip to the Minnesota state
fair next fall when he may live in
the boys camp under the state lead
er, was also awarded Herman for
making the best record in Marshall
county. Forty individual honors
were given, going to the ten MAX
ing the highest scores in each Of
the southern, south central, north
ern and north central sections of the
state. Sixty-four winners were given
free trips to the state fair.
The corn contest required the
growing of an acre of corn on which
records of the methods, time and
cost of cultivation were kept. The
corn was raised under the direction
of the state club leader and a re-
port of the crop included the assign
ment of a reason for each operation
in raising it. The contest was de-
signed to teach boys the value and
the methods Of scientific cultivation.
The state championship was won on
a yield Of 124 bushels, by Vern
johnson, Is years old, of Cokato.
Thrne Yields Of more thar 100 BUSH
els an acre were reported in the con-
test. and ten exceeded 80 bushels.
The yield of the acre grown by
Herman Probst is 16 bushels more
than the average for the entire state
in the last five years. That the
boys clubs will be one Of the chief
methods of teaching boys enough
about corn raising to bring the
yield Of the state to an average OF
ten bushels higher in the next de-
cade. is the opinion expressed by Mr.
Erickson in announcing the winners
Of the contest.

REV. F. N. ANDERSON RESIGNED


After the services in the Swedish
Lutheran church last Sunday morn
ing, Rev. F. N. Anderson rendered
his resignation as pastor of the
church. He came here from Houtz-
dale, Pa, nearly five years ago. Rev.
Anderson was instrumental in secur-
ing the $4,000 donation from the
late James J. Hill for North Star
College and as field secretary Of the
institution he did good work in rails
ing the additional $4,000 required
to meet the conditions Of Mr.. Hills
promise and free the college from
debt. In spite Of opposition and
much unjust criticism, even in quar-
ters where he Lad a right to expect
assistance, encouragement and SYM
pa+hv, he nevertheless has done a
valuable work in his church. for the
college and for the citv, during the
few years he has been here, work
that will be appreciated more in the
f'1ture than it is at the present
time.
Pnv. Anderson has accepted a call
tn WASHINGTON, D. c.. from the Now
York Conference Of the Swedish
Lutheran Augustana Synod, which
oroanization will tate IN church
work in that city. He had a cal
also at a bio~nr salary from q larpe
and old established coneragation il
Karsas, but he accented the call tc
Washinrton in thc belief that that
fold offered the greatest oppertuni'
{ ties for service.

COURT RULES ON TAX
APPEAL OF BRYN MAWR
School Buildings Not Used Tor
College Purposes Must Pay
on Assessors Levy
.SoRRISTowN, May IT.


The Court today filed an opinion on the
appeal of Bryn Mawr College from the
taxation of It's property by the county Of
Montgomery and the township Of Lower
Merton.
The assessor made n levy of $4,000 Son
property other than the actual college build
ings.
The Court finds that the portions not en-
empt from taxation. which had been as
sessed by the assessor, are:
College Inn assessed at $1,000; the Low
Building. assessed at $1,000 and five and
one-half acres of the twenty-acre tract as
sessed at 100000 The other properties
which were assessed are found to be exempt
in that they are used and are necessary for
college purposes. They include professors
buildings and two school buildings. one for
chidren's instruction and the other for
training pupils for teaching
The Iun and the Low Building are found
by the Court not to be part of the college
property. but are used outside of college
purposes.
The five and one -half-acrc tract is found
to be not used at the present time. except
as a place of retirement for students for
quiet hour or recreation in It's cooling
shade, not being part of the campus or ath-
letic field. The Court holds that. being
exempt from county tax, the property is
also exempt from township tax.

GOVERNOR USES VETO
AK ON SEVERAL BILLS
Among Them Is One Giving
Higher Pay to Election
Officers
By a star Correspondent

HARRISBURG, May H.
Veto Of the Kline bill to advance the pay
OF election officers Of Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh and Scranton from SIS to $40 n day
was announced by Governor Brumbaugh to-
day. The Governor says that the duties of
officers in those cities are no more difficult
than in other districts Of the state and
there can be no good reason to add $4,000
to the election expenses of the Common
wealth in that way. Tie adds that they
perform their work as a matter of public
duty and not of compensation.
Other Senate bills vetoed today we're as
follows:
Providing that corporations he permitted
to change location of office. the Governor
explaining that confusion would result from
such measure and that II would be a de-
parture from approved methods
requiring proceedings In commitment of
an insane person to he certified to the in
stitution where the person is to be COM
mitted, the Governor giving 1t as his belief
that the procedure is necessarily burden
some and expensive.
Providing for the sale of real estate held
Tor poor purposes, vetoed as special legis-
laton
Increasing bounties on the killing of
weasel and lynx. the Governor believing the
advance to be unjustifed and calculated TO
make mere bounty hunters of otherwise idle
people.
Other Senate bills vetoed:
Providing for return by municipa lities of
assessments when they are declared TO have
been improperly expended
Granting compensation to dependents of
game warden killed while on duty. pro-
nounced worthy measure. but unconsti-
tutional.
The House bill amending divorce law was
