Farmer Browns Boy cleaned out the

Farmer Browns Boy.
Why had his chickens stopped disap-
pearing at the time Jimmy Skunk took
up his abode under the henhouse:
That was what Farmer Browns Boy
wanted to know. 1t was very evident
now that he had been very wrong in
suspecting that Jimmy had taken the
chickens in the first place. For week
some chickens had disappeared every
night. Then Jimmy had gone under
the henhouse and the chickens had
stopped disappearing. They were, you
know, little newly Matched chicks,
Farmer Browns Boy was, of course,
delighted to find that his old friend
Jimmy Skunk was innocent. But this
discovery left him more puzzled than be-
fore, If that were possible.
He went back to the henhouse to
nail down the boards of the floor that
he had torn up in his search for Jimmy
Skunk, but before he nailed them down
he looked carefully all about under the
floor Presently he gave long drawn
whistle. He had made a discovery. He
had found two or three little feet-the
feet of little chickens. Whoever had
stolen those chickens had eaten them
there under the floor of the henhouse.
And then. in dark corner, he made
another discovery It was nest. One
glance at it was enough to tell him
what kind of nest it was. It was a
rats nest. Yes, sir, that is what it was
"a rat'ssnest. 1t was the kind Of nest
that Mother Rat makes for her babies.
The face of Farmer Browns Boy
cleared. There was no longer any mys-
terry. TITS as plain as the nose on
my face" said Farmer Browns Boy.
There was family of rats underneath
here. Yes, sir. there was a family of
rats underneath here. They were the
ones who stole those little chicks. I
wonder didn't think of them before.
Jimmy Skunk discovered them and de-
cided that this was the place to stay.
He probably cleaned out the whole nest
full of young rats. Those rats must
have come over from the barn. They
. came in through that hole that leads
under the henyard--ti1e one that JIM
my went out of. He probably dug that
bigger. And there was blaming JIM
my for taking those chickens. Well,
live and learn. It doesn't do to jump
to conclusions. Jimmy can stay under
my henhouse as long as he wants to, If
he will Just keep the rats away. I'll
see that Jimmy has plenty to eat so

COLOR FILM Is
new HIGH MARK
IN SHOW WORLD

Warner Bros. has shown the
rest of the producers something, 4"
was the remark made last night by
a patron leaving the Airdome after
seeing con With The Show. and
that about sums up briefly what can
be said about the film.
"On With The Show - is the first
all technicolor talkie produced, and
il is a splendid success. Spectacular
ensembles and scenes are intensifi,
ed by the natural colors and though
somewhat garish at first, the eye
soon becomes accustomed TO and en-.
JOYS them.
Technically-"On With The Show "
IS well nigh perfect. The voice and
sound reproduction is excellent, the
synchronization of sound and pie,
ture is perfect and the photography
is far beyond the ordinary.
There are really two shows in
one, us the story tells the back stage
worries of show that is trying to
break into Broadway. Crisis after
crisis arises behind the scenes, seem
ing certain to halt the production,
but the old troupers' cry of "On
With the SHOW wins out. The ar.
fists wrangle and fight with each
other, but when their cue comes they
respond.
The number of celebrities in "On
With The show does not make
it the least top heavy, the work of
each artist being split up and weld
ed so that all have a leading part
il its success. Joe f. Brown is as
funny as ever, in his own particu
lar style; Betty compson is as g0r-
gtous as her audience expects her
to be. and Der dramatic ability Is
shown in the scene where she refuses
to 90 on with her part. The
Fairbanks Twins, Arthur Lake

tabled temporarily by the supervisors pending in

Just why it should be necessary to investigate is

California State Flag, being adopted by of the

1t is customary in many states to fly the state
flag state and county buildings throughout the
year, always providing that the United States flag

honor.
To US it appears that it would be perfectly proper
