THRILLING FOX SPECIAL
is C0L0RFUL NARRATIVE

"T~hunderclap,' the remarkable
William Fox special scheduled for its
premiere showing at the Kenworthy
Theatre on next Thursday and Friday,
is aptly heralded as "a thrilling melo-
dramatic picture with a laugh every
minute and a thrill every thirty sec-
onds.'
An a~ll-star cast cleverly depicts the
absorbing story of love, intrigue, ro-
nance and, last but not least, a horse
race yet ~unequalled on the silver
screen.
The colorful story of "Thunderclap''
also brings to mind the more exciting
days of yester-year when gambling
flourished, when the raucus call of the
roulette wheel attendant mingled with
the shrin laughter of the bizarre femi-
nine and when fortunes changed hands
with mOnOtOnous regularity.
Into this world of gilt and flushed
cheeks there comes the girl of the
convent, ignorant of the ways of the
willy but strong of character and of
purpose. Her experiences in this new
world, the discovery of a true friend
beneath the reeking atmosphere of
drink and smoke and the result of the
trach performance of ''Thunderclap"
combine for a story which charms at
the very outset and f~ascinateS until
the unwelcOme end.

SAILOR HAS ENOUGH
Quits His Job Guiding Boa Con-
strictors on Snip.
Walking Deck With Seasick Gibbons
and VaIeting Elephants and Other
Products of Jungle Abjured
by Seaman.

New YOrk.-Johann Schultz, a thor
oughly American citizen of German
birth, quit his job as d~eckhand on the
steamship Hansa, which recently ar
rived at Pier sc, North river. He said
he would lake his chances in a poor
labor market rather han spend an
other day on a ship carrying eight ele-
plants, seven balloons C~man-killing, Of

hooded cobras and S-enegambian ham
varmints; 100 non-man-kiliing apes,
$50 birds, including parrots, love birds
and three long-legged fowl of the
genus Kagus from Burma.
I'm tired of valeting Elephants,
sale Mr.. Schultz. 81 had to cuddle boa
constructors in my arms and Groom
them to sleep at night, and I've had
enough of it. You don't know what
life on the bounding wave is until
you've had to walk the deck with a
seasick gibbon or calm the fears of a
bull cobra. Yes, you may o
that Jack Schultz has quit the sea
game, and add that any one who wants
a man to take tender care of his or her
geranium beds or yearns to engage a
mild-mannered Waterman might do
worse thar to look me up"

According to Mr.. Ruhe's representa-
tive at the pier, Louis j. Beck, the
1ong-legged fowls of the genus Kagus
are the first of their kind to arrive in

another representative of Mr.. RUNE,
say that Albert Mems, a mighty hunt

CoNvENIENCES ON BATES
COUNTY FARMS
Statistics Show That Many Of the
Homes in the County Have
Modern Conveuieuces.

1t is a matter oi common knowl1
edge that nearly all of the farms in
Bates county have telephone connec-
ton with their neighbors, their trad
ing point and the world at large.
Also that rural mail delivery reaches
nearly every home in the county, be-
sides, according to recent statistics,
many of the farm homes are equipped
with the so-called modern conven-
fences.
325 Bates county farm homes have
water and sinks in kitchens 800 have
bath rooms and IS have water in the
barns.
Thexe arc los farm homes lighted
by home owned electric lighting
plants; IS are lighted by current pur-
chased from some Lighting plant; I4o
are lighted by acetylene plants.
The days when X is necessary each
day to carry in coal or wood to sup
ply stoves all over the house is fast
passing. In the county there are IS
farm homes heated with steam fur
naces IS with hot water furnaces and
us with hot air furnaces.

FROZEN BODIES IN STACKS
Graves Cannot be Provided Fast
Enough in Russia.

Moscow. Jan. s.-Russia has begun
the year of 1929 with eight months o.
unspeakable horror be- ore her and
the terrible dread that next summer s
crop may only slightly relieve the
gnawing famine.
AT Tsaratsin, Saratoff, Samara,
Ufa. Orenburg and Kazan frozen
bodies are stacked high awaiting
burial in trenches which workmen
cannot prepare fast enough for the
victims Of famine, exposure ard ty-
phus-and every day the situation is
growing worse.
American relief workers. who orig
inally cautiously placed the number
of probable deaths in the famine area
this winter at million, now say that
S million is a low estimate, and many
say the number may reach 10 million
or evgn more. This is possible par
ticular.v since the shortage of horses,
oxen and camcls makes it impossible
to reach the more remote sections.
and since it is predicted the typhus
epidemic probably will be the worst
that Russia ever has suffered.
The Americans are feeding nearly
I million children and the British and
various other organizations are fur
nishing rourishment for at least one
hundred thousand under the most
dangerous conditions,

ENTRANCE INTO SENATE
RACE IS ANNOUNCED
BY 'BRECK' LONG
Plans Determined Fight for Nomina-
tion to Congress.

St. Louis, Jan. 7.-Breckinridge
Long, former assistant secretary oa
state under President Wilson, oatur-
day announced his candidacy for the
Democratic nomination tor Uni.ed
States senator. The announcement
was i'll letter, Saturday to Charles
p. Sentcr of St. Louis.
Recently a committee of st. Louis
business men and, women. of whom
Senter is chairman, sent letters
throughout state to ascertain the feel
ing in Democratic circles toward can
didates for the coming election.
In his letter. Long says he will
make determined fight tor the NOM
ination but if defeated will fight just
as hard for the Democratic nominee.
"The Democratic party must win
because the country is suffering from
the misrule now prevailing through
out the state and nation" said Long.
THE condition now existing
throughout the country can be attri-
buted to the blind partisanship o.
Republican leaders, he continued.
He also attacked the Republican
rarty for its stand on the tariff
question and said that the Demo-
Gratis should challenge the Republican
party for the failure they have re-
corded since 1920 He predicted a
Democratic president i'll 1924.

ocratic nominee for state senator in
1920 but was defeated by Senator
