COOPER SEEKS
CONGRESS POST
State Senator Is Auditor
for Gas Department.

Bruce E. Cooper of Stewartsville,
state senator and travelling auditor
of the state gasoline department,
today announced his candidacy for
the Republican nomination for
congress from the first district.
He will oppose Representative
Harry E. Rowbottom of Evansville
for denomination, and new aspir-
ant, Russell Dyer of Spurgeon.
Cooper, one of the political OPP
portunists, who arose in the
Stephenson era, is First district
Republican chairman, succeeding
the aid of the now discredited Her
bert Males faction of Vanderburgh
county, in wrestling the chairman
ship from Stuart Fisher of Prince
ton, in 1928.
Prior to this he was Posey county
chairman. Cooper, who has a farm
in posey county, was elected state
representative in 1924 and state
senator in 1926. He served in the
navy.

had been planned, Richard is not
supposed to win this race. A large
bet of twenty-five thousand is made,
depending on him to come in last.
Most every picture has some love
interest. And when Richard meets
Mary Brian, it is love at first sight.
Mary happens to have a father,
and it is with him the big bet is
made.
Richard is unaware of this bet,
until the day before the race, when
MaryS father tells him he must win
for him. Immediately going to his
manager, he asks that the race be
called off. But no luck. Whether
he races or not, the bet still holds
good.
So Richard goes in the race to
win, instead of to lose, and, as I
have told you, the hero always wins.
Burning Up" is Richard Arlen's
first starring picture, and reminds
one of the fast racing pictures, in
which our former Wallace Reid
used to star. The supporting cast
is good, leading with Mary Brian
and Tully Marshall, and including
Charles Sellon, Sam Hardy and
Francis Mcdonald. The race has
been well photographed, and is good
for several thrills. Just nice, light
entertainment.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Con-

Although the former chief justice
is not regarded as out of danger,
physicians appeared encouraged re-
garding his condition. He is able to
sit in a chair for a few minutes
each day and his appetite seems to
be increasing.
Only one official bulletin was
issued Sunday by Drs. Thomas A.
Clayton and Francis Hagner, his
physicians. That, at noon, said he
was resting quietly.
His home was dark throughout
the night and this was accepted as
an indication that he enjoyed
another comfortable night of rest.
Taft's condition has changed but
little during the last few hours, it
was understood, but he has i'm

Russians Open New LOO
Mile Railroad Line With EcIat

Ainabulak, Kazakstan, Soviet
Republic, April 29.-The opening
ceremonies of the new 1,700-mile
Soviet railroad now in progress
have had all the color of gigan-
tic rodeo of the American far
west.
1t was a momentous day in the
Soviet union and was proclaimed
a holiday. Tens of thousands of
mounted KAYAKS, Uzbeks, Khargi-
zians and other Nomadic tribes of
the Kazakistan plains cheered as
William Shatov, former Chicago
anarchist and section hand on the
Erie railroad, yesterday drove the
spikes connecting the north and
south sections of the first Soviet
built railroad.
While Red army airplanes cir
cled overhead in the scorching
MONDAY sun, Comrade Isaev, pres
ident of the Kazakistan republic,
conferred the "order of the toll
ing Red banner" upon Shatov, who
was the leading Soviet executive
in construction of the road.
Then admirers seized Shatov
and bore him on their shoulders
before cheering thousands, the
band meanwhile playing the Red
internationale.
The American and foreign cor
respondents who arrived yesterday
were most interested in the wan
dering tribesmen. These nomads
and their families came from miles
around on horseback and camel,
by bullock, by van and afoot, and
after the railroad dedication gave
a thrilling exhibition of their dar-
ing Craftsmanship.

On the issues of labor

1t was the first supreme court

significant because it was based
on Parker's record as federal
judge in upholding yellow dog

politics.
Bitter Fight
The vote came by prearrange-
ment at 1870 p. M, in the eighth
day of senate debate, after a
struggle of titanic proportions be-
tween the historically antagonis-
tic legislative and executive de-
partments-a struggle in which

thousands of appeals from law
yers, judges, and national leaders

Some Reasons Why NewSchOOl
House Is Needed In Plentywood
"a contributed article)

In considering the matter of
building a new school plant in our
city, it is natural that Taxpayers
will want to know just why such
an enterprise is necessary. We OF
course assume from the start that
the citizens of the community want
as good educational facilities as
they can afford even though they
may not have children in the
schools. No attempt will be made
in this article to argue this point
since it is the common belief of
all public spirited citizens. The
matter of the amount of addition
al taxes that each taxpayer would
have to pay has been so carefully
explained on numerous occasions
that that phase of the question
will be omitted in this discussion.
What the writer does wish to
bring before you is an analysis OF
the School Plant itself and what
it offers to the present children IN
the Plentywood schools as well as
those who are not yet enrolled.
AS we hear and read of the
more progressive ideas advanced
by our prominent Educators and
as we see what other progressive
communities are offering to the
children in their schools. we can
not help but feel that possibly we
are not giving the pupils in our
own schools the same equipment
for life's battles that others are
getting. When we turn to the
Plentywood schools we do find
that the variety of subjects offer.
