Thursday-When is murder not a
murder? Can a man be murdered
twice and if so, how? This is not an
Edison QUESTIONABLE, but merely the
mystery in Monte Blues fourth star
ring vehicle "The Man Upstairs" re-
garded as one of the greatest comedy
and mystery stories ever made. Earl
Derr Biggers, who wrote "Seven Keys
to Baldpate," is the author of "The
Man Upstairs" and he has evolved
thrilling story. There are people kill
ed who are not aware of it, so they
are killed few more times, and then
at the inquest they can't produce the
corpus delecti! So how can a murder
be murder when there is nobody for
evidence, Those are just few of the
trying situations that appear.
Friday and Saturday-So far the
Rin-Tin-Tin pictures have included
"Where the North Begins" "Find
Your Man." "The Lighthouse by the
Sea-" Tracked in the Snow Country"
and "Below the Line" an unbroken
string of successes. Now there can
be added to the list ''The Clash of the
Wolves" In many ways this seems
to be the most stimulating of the lot.
The scene is laid in the Southwest
cattle country, and the swift action
moves against background of burn
ing beauty. There are gorgeous views
of the Painted Desert, and thrilling
spectacle in the sight of forest fire
in the high Sierras. This fire gives a
start to story that RACES and blazes
and flames with drama.

BIG BARN DESTROYED BY FIRE
One Thousand Baskets of Corn, Other
Crops, Equipment Are Burned

Fire Tuesday night destroyed the
large barn and outbuildings on the
farm of Elmer Dickerson, prominent
Farm Bureau member and Democratic
candidate for State Senator from the
Fifth district of Sussex county, locat-
ed about mile from Milton, entailing
a loss variously estimated from S4,-
900 to $4,000. The Georgetown Fire
Company was called on for assistance
and made the run of eight miles in
record time. When they reached the
scene the fire had practically consum-
ed the building, and the burning
structure collapsed. The firemen ran
a hose line about 700 feet to a mill
pond a short distance from the Dick
erson home and fought valliantly to
save the home from destruction.
The origin of the blaze is unknown
and was not discovered until the build
ing was a mass of flames on the in
side. A large quantity of hay was
stored in the loft and the supposition
is that the fire first started in the up
per portion of the building. About
1000 baskets of corn, grown in 1925,
were stored in the building. All of

Group to Pray Silently One

TAMARACK, Mimi, May "a
Deep in the solitude of the northern
pines a nonsectarian group of per
sons weary Of sin" will conduct an
hour's wordless prayer at 10 a. M,
June 1. in the hope that such an
event will ''cause God TO manifest
himself"
The sponsor. Vernon Ewing. an
optometrist, believes the meeting
will have a spiritual influence on TIE
world
There will be no sectarian tinge.
The assemblage will become silent on
calling the meeting to order. The
following hour will be wordless. The
attendants may stand or kneel as
they please.
Ewing hopes God will give a sign
of his response. It may take the
form of a miracle or it may be only
an indirect indication that he has
heard the prayer. Ewing explains.
Z Maybe the world is as He wishes
it to be, >" Ewing said. IF so, he
may do nothing. But l firmly be-
lieve that He will not disappoint us.
The combined silence of a large as
semblage of all classes Of people,
looking for something from God. will
be a real demonstration of faith and
will give God an opportunity as He
will. And it is possible it will have
n spiritual influence on the entire
world"
