FAIR YIELDS
GOOD PROFIT
Financial Statement Given in
this Issue Shows Profits of
School Fair Total $341. 80
By II. b. SHAVE

When plans for the Douglas county
high school fair and circus were form
ulated for this year, it was decided to
hold fair that would be, first of all,
a. community event. Profit was to be
secondary consideration.
To make the fair truly a community
event, it was necessary to get the CO.
operation of the entire county. This
was done by simply suggesting what
was needed from various individuals
of the county. The response was
prompt and enthusiastic.
For such success as attended the
fair-and the accompanying financial
statement is substantial evidence of
what such success was-the student
body and faculty desire to express
their appreciation to the farmers of
the county for their crop and livestock
exhibits, and to the merchants and
auto dealers for the work they devot-
ed to their displays, as well as for
their financial support. Thanks are
also due to Mrs. Rabe and members Of
the Parent Teachers association for
the trouble they took in acting as hos
tesses during the fair, and for estab-
fishing and maintaining the nursery
in the high school building. Here the
little ones could be left while their
mothers enjoyed the fair without any
thought but that the youngsters were
getting the best Of care.
Mr.. II. K. Jepsen was kind enough
to act as treasurer of the fair and
contributed materially to the smooth
ness with which all business was
transacted.
This acknowledgment would be in
complete without special mention of
the very large part played by the
Record Courier in insuring success to
the fair. Publicity was given without
stint. Space desired for articles writ
ten by members of the faculty was
given literally. II is safe to say that
the largest single factor of our sue
cess was the enthusiastic cooperation
given by our county paper.
1t is with pleasure that the student
body and faculty take this opportuni-
ty of publicly thanking the individuals
of Douglas county for the support
which they so freely gave to the high
school fair.

and the story unfolds like a STIR
ring panorama of an earlier day.
The theme deals with the adven-
lures of a gallan young officer of
the American army forced by a
rivals enmity to clear his name of
an undeserved stain, that of being
a cattle thief, and to win his bride
under heavy difficulties. j. War
rem Kerrigan is the man, Lois Will
son, the girl, and Alan Hale, the
scheming villain. This trio does the
major part of the acting, and to
them along with the director, goes
the credit for this superb produc-
ton. Others in the cast are Charles
Ogle, Ernest Terrence, Tully Mar
shall, Guy Oliver and John Fox.
The action is exceptionally thrill
ing, the incidents being dramatic
and impressive. These include the
fording of the Kaw river by the
wagon train, the Indian attack and
massacre, the prairie fire, the buff
falo hunt, the fierce battle between
Banion and Woodruff, the parting
of the trains and tragic death of

cred Wagon, which will be the fea-
ture at the Rex theatre next Sat
urday, Sunday and Monday nights.
That is the prediction made not
only by Mr.. Cruze himself, but by
those who have seen the picture
and who hail it for its bigness, i'm
pressivness and extraordinary re-
alism.
Perfect realism, strong love
theme, tremendous dramatic action,
thrills that are utterly unlike the
ordinary sort; a background of real
newness to the screen, where the
camera has never before been
ground; all these facts, coupled
with the splendid cast of virtually
5000 men and women, certainly in
dicate a picture that is worthy of
any directors enthusiasm. And
James Cruz is enthusiastic. He has
believed in the picture from the
start and with each day of shooting
sometimes under conditions almost
unbelievably difficult, his enthusi-
asm has grown. Nor is he alone in
his belief, for every person in the
drama of the old time western day
tions.

Gov. Baxter Tells
Reason for Placing
Memorial to Dogs
In State Museum

IN OeIeTence 10 the ODJeCtlOuS>
voiced by certain citizens, Governor
Baxter gave up his plans for erect
ing in the State Park at Augusta a
memorial tablet to his faithful dog
Garry" and in a statement given
out Tuesday the Governor said that
it occurred to him that it would be
appropriate to place the humane
tablet in the State museum taking
his faithful old dog as q text for
teaching a humane lesson to chill
dren and others who would pass by
the memorial, and weaving. around
the dog little sermon In Kindness
towards animals.
When asked regarding the humane
memorial tablet to be erected in the
State House. Governor Baxter said:
Both before and since became
Governor I have taken a deep inter-
est in humane work. and have done
what I could for our dumb animal
brothers. I have been especially in
terested to teach children that they
should be kind and merciful to all
rof Gods creatures. Most of the
cruelty and neglect comes from
thoughtlessness and indifference,
and If young folks can be started
in the right direction they will grow
up to be humane. kind and thought
full. 1t Is of little use to try to do
much with grown-ups for their Ideas
are fixed, and they usually are I'M
willing to change them.
1.-THE land in front Of the State
House slopes down toward the river
and 1 thought it would be appro..
pirate to place a boulder at one end
Of this land and place on 1t small
bronze tablet that would teach a
humane lesson to the children and
others who passed by. L took my
faithful old dog Garry as a. text for
this and wove around him a little
sermon in kindness toward animals.
Certain we'll meaning citizens
objected to having this boulder
placed in what they call the State
Park and in Difference to their
views and not wishing to offend
anybody, I gave up my plans, al
though they had been unanimously
approved by my Council.
ut then occurred to me that as
hundreds of children visit the State
House, in the course of a year, and
go into the State museum in the
basement, it would be appropriate
to have the humane tablet placed
there. There certainly can be no OBJ
lection to that location and it can
rot offend the sensibilities of any
one. The museum is filled with stuff
fed animals. such as bear, moose,
deer. and birds, and is an appro-
pirate place for a tablet bearing a
humane inscription. The tablet will
be of modest proportions. about 20

IF the people Of the present
generation had been taught to be
kind and thoughtful of others by
this time we would have advanced
a long distance on the road to better
things. My sole object in erecting
the tablet is to- make the rising
generation better one than the
present by teaching them that
