THE WORK OF
MISSIONARIES

Members of the Young Peoples So
ciety were told Sunday evening of the
work done by Danish and Norweg iar
missionaries sent out by the Luther.
an church, over in India
County Superintendent of Schools
Jens P. Miller of Pine City whose
sister, Miss Dagmar Miller, is mis-,
sionary in India, gave geographical
sketch of the country, stating that
there are 3OO,0OO,OOO people in India
of all shades and colors, from the
white caucasions to the darkest OF
Negroes. They speak 147 languages
in the country. There are three sea-
sons-the hot, cold and wet. The
average rainfall in America is 80 to
35 inches annually and it is about the
same in some parts of India while in
the wettest portions it is so feet an
nually-just pours down-in the val
legs south of the Himalaya mountains.
Santalistan, where the Lutheran mis-
sionaries have their field, is $50 miles
north of Calcutta, but it is not fertile
land there so they have established
colony at Assym where the land is
good. Assym is about the size of a
township and is the only Christian
colony in India. Elephants are used
much as the beasts of burden in In
dia, and Mr.. Miller explained how
they pile logs and are very useful,
good elephants selling for $1,000.
Rice is raised abundantly in India.
Sigurd Stovring said that there are
17,169 Christians in Santalistan. The
heathens do not flock to the mission
aries but the missionaries must labor
to win them over to Christianity and
this is best accomplished by the ex-
ample they set through love and right
living. He read excerpts from books
of missionaries who have been in the
field, and spoke of the work of Bor-
resen, Skrevsrud, Mr.. and Mrs. M. A.
Petersen, Eli Bogh, DR.. Erling Oster-
gard. and Miss Dagmar Miller, the
latter two having been sent over by
the Danish Lutheran Church of Amer
lea.

Charlie Laursen said the Young
Peoples Societies of the Third dis
trict would try and pay the way of
DR.. Ostergaard in Santalistan, and
all those who are interested in the
work could subscribe to whatever they
feel they can give. The committee
members which will accept donations
in Askov are Miss Esther Lindegaard,
Mrs. A. Henriksen, Sigurd Stovring,
and Charlie Laursen.

Distribution of the diplomas is car
ried on in cooperation with the Min
nesota Dairy Herd Improvement head
quarters at University Farm, st. Paul.
A total of 500 diplomas are being
awarded in Minnesota this year, as
compared with 500 for 1927-192S. AL
though only about five per cent more
herds were on test in 192S-29 than the
year before, the number of honor roll
herds increased 80 per cent. These
figures show that continuous testing
pays, says Ramer Leighton, University
Farm, who is in charge of testing
work for Minnesota
The National herd honor roll was
started in 1924 to give public recog-
milton to dairymen who have devel-
oped herds of five or more cows with
an average annual butterfat production
of 300 pounds or more. A dairyman
whose herd is placed on the honor
roll for the first time receives a di-
plOma bearing a red seal; blue seal
indicates a second achievement, while
gold seal is evidence that the re-
cipient has attained the 300-pound

in a lesser part.
The petite Alice finds wide
field for her dancing and en-
tertaining. Two song numbers
are acceptable. her voice and
manner fitting the type per
fectly.
Supplementary films are very
good. A short skit, featuring
Johnny Arthur is amusing and

Mr.. Steppe, himself is the
star of the attraction. He does
some excellent work in a He

THE VIRGINIAN
IN FINAL
WEEK

When a Western thriller
stays two weeks on F Street
it neither means that the pub
lie taste has reverted to old
time cowboy melodrams or
else THE Virginian," playing
at the Columbia, is corking
good entertainment. The lat
ter fortunately happens to be
the case.
With all due respect to Owen
Wister's famous novel, the plot
of The Virginian" is not vastly
different from thousand other
cowboy thrillers. But this pic
ture is so expertly directed, so
we'll cast and filled with dra-
matte action and amusing cpl
SodeS that it should not be
missed.
Lanky Gary Cooper. with a
lanquish Southern drawl, plays
the title role adently. Walter
Huston, as the bad man; Rich
ard Arlen and Mary Brian have
considerable roles. The high
spot of the picture is where
the Virginian and the cattle
ruStler stalk each other through
the Wyoming cOW-tOWn.

boy in Ireland to the manager
ship of a chain of music stores
to win a pretty Irish lass IN
his current Pathe starring We

Michael OMore, the Downey

stable boy for a wealthy Irish
man. Lady Mary Cardigan, the
charming mistress of the house

BELLEBAKER'S
: SONG FILM
AT FOX

1t was q happy little family,
just plugging along in vaude-
vile with a song act, until
Mama decided that Sonny
needed an education and a
chance to carve a career for
himself-as If singing from a
stage box wasn't good enough
for him.
Sd the happy little team broke
up, and Sonny went to school.
But Papa, to keep the home
fires burning. the wretch,
teamed up with q blonde
stranger and continued his
vaudeville life.
That's THE Song of Love-"
in which Columbia Pictures
brings to the speaking and sing
ing screen Belle Baker, for
many seasons past a popular
adornment of musical comedy
and vaudeville.
If the picture seems to bring
up memories of other back
stage pictures you have seen.
you might as well forget it.
For if you begin those odious
comparisons, it will keep you
busy.
The happy family aforesaid.
by the way, is united by the
son, when he comes home from
school and finds domestic fe-
licity all shot to pieces.
The picture affords Belle
Baker chance to express her
love for her husband, her son
and all things that are good and
true and beautiful. Weighed
down by loneliness, worry and
so forth, she MARBLES mournfully
but tunefully about life in gen.
eral.
Ralph Graves isn't at all bad
as the husband, nor is Eunice
Quedenas inadequate as Papa's
new stage partner, but it Is
young David Durand who walks
off with the lions share of the
acting honorS.
Beach Nights" the Fanchon

SALLY O'NEIL,
IN JAZZY
FEATURE

Just because June Moon"
was a phenomenal success, the
craze for tin pan alley themes
will probably be given strenu-
Gus workout in the next in
definite number Of talkies, that
hit the trail for Broadway and
the big cities.
Over at Keith's this week,
Jazz Heaven" Radio Pictures
melody drama co-starring Sally
O'Neil and John Mack Brown
Is among the pioneers OF the
new adventure.
In q nutshell, it is the trite
story of a song writer's struggle
to success. The setting Is COM
plete with its boarding house,
even to the crabby landlady; q
song publishers establishment
and a night club scene. There
too is the song in question,
Some One" a likely tune writ
ten by Oscar Levant and Sid
ney Clare. Around the melody,
which is played throughout the
film, the tale Is woven.
Brown of course is the aspir-
ing song writer, from some
where below the Mason-Dixon.
He has the song complete save
for the final measures Of the
chorus and the last lines of the
lyric. All night long he plays
in vain attempt to finish the
work. and reimburse his de-
pleted finances.
Sally O'Neil portrays the girl
who lives in the next room and
works in song publishing
house. At a crucial moment
she comes to his, aid and with.
out a moments hesitation they
fall in love. Comes inspiration
and success of the song, over
Swallowed by the misunder-
standing of the lovers. But it
finally works out to the salts
faction of all concerned and
the picture closes with for
tunes in the hand and wedding
bells in the offing.
This is hardly Browns best
picture, though he makes as
good a hero any cinema star
ling, who might have been as
signed the part. Sally O'Neil
is fascinating ingenue whose
big blue eyes hold your atten-
ton when all else fails.
This reviewer would offer the
laurels to the comedy work OF
Joseph Cawthorne, we'll remem-
bered from Street Girl" to
say nothing of his musical
comedy triumphs, and Albert
Cont. Clyde Cook is another
generous contributor to the
general fun. Despite the sew
eral impossible situations that
arise. the picture has its merit.
In fact you may be delighted
with it.

GIRLS
ABOUND IN
"VAMTIES"
BY ANDREW r. KELLEY

BY ANDREW r. KELLEY
The seventh edition of Earl
CAROLS VanitieS which opened
a weeks engagement at the
National Theater last night has
row upon row of beauties in
costumes of revealing scanti-
ness, some spectacular scenic
novelties, excellent dancing and
w. C. Fields.
Measured by the yardStick of
spectacle Vanities will be found
to be completely satisfying. The
pulchritudinous exhibits in the
Carroll menage, led by Dor.
othy Britton, parade frequently
in the beads, skinny brasSiereS
and thin gauZes which invite
pneumonia and leave little to
the imagination. Mr.. Fields, it
is good to report, is at times
TREMENDOUSLY funny but at
others, sad to relate, has re-
course to the common vulgar
tiles which are the salvation Of
comedians getting much less
than the advertised $4,000 a
week. Apart from Mr.. Fields,
the invited laughs in Vanities
come from coarse and Shoddy
material delivered by inept
third rate comics who please
best when they are dancing.
VanitieS is rich in dancing
merit. The adagio team Of
Theodore, Enrico and Novello
won the noisiest acclaim of the
evening with AN offering Of
terpSichorean skill which was
breath-taking in perilous featS.
In his second act Mr.. Carroll
has conceived a modernistic bal
let called The Gates of the
Foundr!-," inspired by a visit
to a large automobile factory,
and executed with the aid Of
original and unique costumes
and an agile group of dancers.
BuSby Berkeley, who staged the
dance numbers, has contrived. to
present routines which abound
in action, are effectively cos
TUNED and lighted, and de-
livered with vigorous abandon
by the VaniteaSerS. A slow con-
troll dance by Dorothy Lull, was
a Spotlighted speciality which
registered solidly. The bur-
lesque of The Dying Swan by
Ben Blue also scored with the
first nighterS. .'....
For the finale Of the revue'S
first act, Mr.. Carroll introduced
a spectacular display of stage
pyrotechnics and the curtain Of
the plumes which closes the en-
tertainment is a pleasing eye
