Things Looking Up

= UMMER business is generally admitted to have
been dull but with crops maturing in splendid style
- and farm produce prices moving upward steadily,
it is only the ull before the storm.
Even the earliest pioneer has to rack his brain to
recall year when crops looked promising they
do right Small grain and corn are fast passing
the time when the elements rob farmers of this
locality of a bumper crop.
Meanwhile prices of farm products creeping
upward with consistency that to indicate stab
ility splendid crop and fair prices is all rural Sec
lions need for prosperitys sudden return. 1t will
rive late for but for the hardy who have
vived, reward will be forthcoming.
Let US not forget, allow our leaders to forget,
that with the return of better times must continue
the study of for dips in the economic cycle and
plan of preventing the return of unfavorable
conditions. Let practice the things have learned
and avoid over-expansion careless spending and gen
eral unsound methods.

Peddler Rackets

IN ATRONIZE your home merchant is a phrase
so often used in newspapers that its mention
again almost calls for apology; yet 1t is
surprising how many consumers, and merchants, too
are victimized by outsiders.
For example racket which has been worked IN
this territory and is being worked again in nearby
towns is this: stranger contracts for space IN the
local newspaper at current rates. Then he calls
telephones the merchants and reads them an article
which applies to any firm in certain line Of business
He sells the merchant the advertisement and inserts it
with dozen or more similar "stories" in what news
paper men call "dead" page because it is which
the average reader will only glance He collects
fancy price, pays the publisher his regular rate and
departs to reap harvest with the "stories" in
neighboring town.
The merchant could use the same advertisement
better in his home town paper any time and pay
only the regular rate The ad is disappointing to the
merchant he reaps little benefit and justly blames the
publisher, in part, for the plan.
Progressive merchants quick to try ideas
but they should remember that they tell their custom
ers "Don patronze peddler unless you know he has
better product at lower price" and practice the
creed.

School Election

4 THOUGH voters flock to the polls to elect presl-
n dents and governors they frequently neglect to
take part in the election of governing bodies
close at home which frequently spend more local tax
money and whose policies have more marked effect
upon the communities they represent
This is particularly true in school elections where
frequently only handful of voters decide important
matters and elect to vital positions.
This year. with renewed interest in tax problems
and in view of the recent music controversy 1t is ex
pected that many voters will take part in the an
nual meeting of District No. July 10.
With the pinch of hard times, voters have taken
new and healthy interest in government Regardless
of opinions on and candidates. interested
in satisfied citizenry urging residents to attend
school meetings.

If we were asked to name a

more people have expressed pleas

any number of others given the
benefit of greater bally-hoo. That's
what audiences think and critics

to show that these birds can't

not know who Harold Lloyd

speechs
However, the word one hears
most frequently around theatel
lobbies, in offices and cubby holes
where the amusement world bub
bleS and spoutS, has aroused the
blood pressure of Editor and Pub
Usher. Hear ye, then, the voice
of the vigorous diSsenter:
"In recent years a word has
come into general use in private
talk which is an intOlerable vul-
garity. 1t is old in the parlance
of the scullery, perhaps, but is
strange in the drawing room.
1t is a term in entomology that
American soldiers became IA
miliar with in trench life. Per-
hapS from that source has come
a popular slang usage. In print
it is repulsive, but we see it
occasionally in type of newspa-
per. As it denotes unclean
habits, we do not doubt that the
word is ibelOuS when applied to
q pEESUus OASa6ACC0OAC 0AN
mean in talk, the characterize
ton, usually applied to ones in
capability, is one of the lowest
and most repellent descriptive
terms that has. ever crept into
general use. 1t degradeS any
newspaper. Recently, we heard
of a publisher who was SO out
ragged by finding this objection
able word in the columns Of his
newspaper, applied to an actor,
that he instantly dismissed the
offending reporter, at the same
time threatening the desk man
who passed it. Objection to the
word may seem, to some, a small
matter in a world of staggering
social problems, but we feel the
OffenSe merits some note Of re-
buke. After all, newspapers set
most Of our social standards.
There is no place for filthy
characterization. Ordinary good
taste is outraged"
Perhaps this is all a little vague,
yea, obscure. Well, then, if you
must know, the word is LOUSY.
Do we hear any seconds?

The Mummy to
REQ pen RiaIto

Christmas for Washington will
bring the return of Karloff, the
famous star of "Frankenstein," in
a new and startling picture, THE
Mummy" which affords this mas.
ter-magician the finest opportun-
ity he has had to date for playing
an exotic role of real dramatic
power. Here he SurpasseS any of
his previous efforts.
'The Mummy" is a strange and
uncanny epic of a dead world
Egypt in the times of the Pha.
raohS. A mummy buried more
than $500 years is suddenly
brought to life and Of conse-
quence an old love is revived. A
definite occult-reincarnation theme
springs up and the action of this
story, though acted in modern
settings, harks back to the Nile
before the birth of Christ.
Karl Freund directed "The
Mummy" from a screen treatment
of John L. Balderston, dramatizer
of "Dracula." The original story
of the screen production is the
work of Nina Wilcox Putnam and
Richard Schayer. In the cast,
supporting Karloff, are Zita
Johann, Edward Van Sloan, Ar
thur Byron, David Manners, Bram-
well Fletcher and Katherine
Byron. The Rialto also offers a
short comedy, Graham McNamee

Fred eric March
Replaces Raft
in Air Film
BY HARRISON CARROLL

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Dec. 20
Winning this years academy
award will spell plenty of hard
work for Frederic March. The
decision was hardly made before
Paramount rushed him into the
Claudette Colbert picture, and
now he is named to replace
George Raft in the new air-film,
Eagle And The Hawk"
This will not work any hard
ship on George, for he is to get
the lead opposite Miriam Hop
kins in The Story of Temple
Drake" formerly Sanctuary"
Thus both of Paramount's recent
rebels will resume friendly rela-
tions with the company in the
same picture. They arrive here
this week and work starts i'm
mediately under the direction of
Stephen Roberts. George, by the
way, doesn't plan to take a
house Immediately. He'll live at
the Hollywood Plaza Hotel.
The aviation picture is sched-
uled for a January start. In ad-
dition to March, it will have
Gary Cooper. always providing
he doesn't go to M. G. NJ. for
the Crawford film, and Jack
Oakie. An original story by John
Monk Saunders, this picture re-
lates the adventures of three
wartime buddies.
