CORN, PURE SEED, SWINE
POULTRY AT CHINOOK

Last year the Northern Montana
Show. held at Malta attracted a
great deal of attention, and the city
of Malta received a large amount of
valuable publicity, through this corn
show. This year the show will be at
Chinook, and next year it will be
held in either Roosevelt or Valley
county, the place will be determined
by lot.
Corn and pure seed have been the
features of the show, but this year,
the Blaine county poultry and swine
growers are putting on a show at
the same time. All of these pro-
ducts are being emphasized because
ii has been demonstrated that they
are the type of produce that are
adapted to successful farm opera

Brown Fare a role Of unusual
charm and sympathetic appeal.
In the picture she is the daughter
Of a brutal sea captain whose pearl
concessions in the tropics invest him
with the power to Cypress and de-
fraud the natives, and who is willing
to marry his daughter to a d~isreput-
able man.
Miss FARES personality empha-
sizes the situation for her delicacy
and refinement for a foil to the
coarseness of her father as well as
the repellant character Of the man
chosen for her husband.
The career of the actress has been
an interesting one. She is one of the
youngest to play leading roles, for
she is only nineteen now and has
created a dozen parts in important
productions. She was chosen by
Otis Skinner to play his daughter in
the screen version of "Kismet" and
recently has been seen with Guy
Bates Post, in "Omar the Tentmak-
err" With Will Rogers, she appear
ed in Doubling for Romeo" previ-
pictures, and of course she is re-
membered in Monte Cristo."
Oddly enough, Miss Faire has
played only leading roles despite her
youth, and bids fair to achieve star
dom in the course of her training as
an actress. She has a picturesque
quality which is valuable in casting
costume plays.

THEATRES

In direct contrast to the vast num-
Der of sex and problem photoplays
that r occupying the screen these
days is Mary Pickford's famous pic
Iture, "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm"
which will be on view at the Strand
Theatre today only.
This is easily one of Miss Pick
ford's best vehicles as well as one of
the most popular and charming stor-
les of all American literature. 1t
is a tale of New England childhood,
involving such familiar incidents as
visitors day at school, the home
made circus, c~anvassing for soap
premiums, and going away to board
ing school. Miss Pickford has made
the role of the little heroine fairly
live upon the screen.
"Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" Is
for grown-ups as well as for chill
dren. For the older folks it cannot
help but strike reminiscent chords,
and the Riddles will be overjoyed
with it. Such favorites as Eugene
lO'Brien and Marjorie Daw appear in
the supporting cast, and Marshall
Neilan directed the picture. 1t is an

Mr.. Atkinson told that the need of
the deeper waterway was evident
and that the ever increasing COM
merce on the waters warranted its
action. He also mentioned that lar
ger industries are expected to To-
cate in the immediate vicinity of the
channel project and this should in
stigate favorable action on the part
of the Engineers of Harbors and
Rivers at Washington.

Christianity a failure?
In THE Passing of the Third
Floor Back" Jerome K. Jerome
showed the invigorating force of
Christianity at work in the lives and
characters of a group of quite or
binary people, occupants of a
Bloomsbury boarding house. In THE
Fool" Charming Pollock has at
tempted what is in fact the contrary
demonstration. He has shown the
failure and the possible success of
Christianity in the great world.
The Fool of the title is a we'll
born and wealthy young clergyman
who attempts to live sincerely and
consistently the Christian life. The
first act shows with a convincing
touch the weaknesses of our modern
church. The Fool is rejected by his
parishioners and driven forth. In
the second ect lie has plunged into
the world of strikes. Confronting
the problems of labor ard capital,
he is again rejected by both sides.

Aldermen Action

Pointing out that the resolution
passed by the Board of Aldermen at
a recent meeting is merely an ex-
preston Of its desires and is not sup
ported by any arguments or rea-
sons for the deepening of the chan
mel from the great beds light to 400
feet above the railroad bridge across
the Raritan river, a communication
was received by the aldermen last
night from C. r. Young, major,
corps of engineers and resident
member of the board, in acknowl-
edging the receipt of the certified
copy of the resolution.
, In thu resolution to the Board OF
Engineers for Rivers and Harbors,
which was adopted at the last meet
iAg of the boagd of aldermen 1t was
resolved that the mayor and alder
men of the city of Perth Amboy go
on record as favoring the improve
ment of the channel as recommend
ed by the district engineer in the
belief that the deepening of the
channel would give greater facilities
for commerce that would result in
a larger tonnage through this water
way.
The communication from Major
G. r. Young follows:
IT wish to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of certified copy of the reso-
luton passed August Z, 1929, by the
Board of Aldermen of the City of
Perth Amboy, NJ J., favoring the
Improvement of Raritan bay and
river, N. j., to a depth of thirty
feet which will be givsI careful
consideration. However, the atten-
ton of the Board of Aldermen
should be invited to the fact that
the resolution is merely an express
sion of it's desires, and is not sup
ported by any agreements or rea-
sons which might serve to convince
this Board of the desirability Of the
United States undertaking this i'm
provement at the expense of the
general public"
The communication was referred
to the committee as a whole.

FRIENDSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP

Our chief reason for attending high
school is to learn the lessons which
are to be of benefit to us hereafter.
We also have other important reasons
for putting in the four years of study.
We form many good friendships
in our course through school. We
learn to pull together as one great
body. We fight for the honor and
glory of our high school as one great
team.
There is a saying that "A football
team is as strong as it weakest player
This can apply to- a high school body
also. DO not be that weak player!
Grow strong by boosting and nghtins
for your school! Mix with the crowd,
Play fair with your fellows and they
become your friends.
Being friendly is just as necessary
in high school as it Is i'm the business
world. Without friends, your educa-
ton is almost a failure, becauee you
are unfair to your W better self
and to your would-be friends.
Give your best to your town, to your
school to your class and to your team.
Fight for a big victory and your fell
lows will respect you and honor you
as their friend.

DRAMATIC EVENTS

On Tuesday evening November 2S,

a former Princeton man, and an uncle

Doctor Brown and Albert Manning
played the part of Ned Biddle.
The play was decidedly a success.
Selections by the High School Or

The purpose of the other play,
I"Overtones," was to snow the super
f~iciali,y of modern society. 1t is one
of the latest and best know one-act
plays and has been successful,
staged in several places. One of the
points of most interest is the facL
that the play is unusual.

parts well and it can be said of this
play too, that it was a success.
Furniture for these two plays was
secured from r.. .. Reck who kindly
consented to allow the High School
