dirt farmer.

WIS elected from his district to the
lIousc of representatives and
again reelected in 1920 During
Tbs period he served as Chairman
rf Tive Apportionment ommittee
in 1919 and was also Il member of
tho Committee on College Of Mines.
i.ccll Taxation. and Roads and

OF collection enormous revenues
for the State OF Michigan during
the past nine years. His Gas Tax
bill WAS defeated in two sessions
of the Legislature but became a
law in 1925. Had his original Gas
Tax bill introduced in 1921 become
a law the State would not have
been compelled to borrow money
for road construction and the tax

MARJORIE GAYS
SUIT NEARS END
Brea c h of PrOmi S e
Charged Against Film Dr.
rector Harry j. Brown

Los Angeles, April 12.--(UP)-
A glitetring array of film notables
fired final broadside for the
defense as trial of Marjorie Gays
100000 breach of promise suit
against Harry Joe Brown neared
the jury to-day. Only final ar
guments of counsel were awaited
after Arlene Judge, Sheets GAL
lagher, Mrs Hal Roach and others
contributed their bit of testimony
to aid the directors claims that
he was not engaged to Miss Gay
when he eloped with Sally Eilers
last summer. Spectators, if not
the middle-aged jury. were i'm
pressed by the defendants strategy
in introducing such personages.
The climatic touch to this court
drama was not all supplied by de-
Tense attorneys. Miss Gays coun-
sci scored by presenting as sur
prise rebuttal witness, Betty Pagel,
former secretary to Brown, who
described almost daily" telephone
conversations with the brunette
"bit player. When the director
left for Europe last summer, Miss
Gay accompanied him to the sta
ton, Miss Pagel said.
Miss Gay put her arms about
his neck and she cried and said,
oh, Joe, L hate to see you co."
the witness narrated. "'It's the
first time we've been separated
and Mr. Brown said, Don't cry,
dear, I'll be back in three weeks"
1t was on this European trip that
Brown fell in love with Miss Eilers
and later Tilted her. Miss Gay al
leges.

term, there being no other children
in the Fairfield district.
Each day she and Miss Zell Rog-
ers, her teacher, arrived at the lit
tie frame building promptly at .
a. m. and left at $3.50 p. m. They
took off an hour for lunch and
had two 15-minute recesses, during
which the teacher played ball with
the pupil, but 1t was the old-time
"ante over" over the school house.
Ida Mae began the term in the
second grade and completed the
third grade scheduled program.
Last year there were five pupils,
but they moved out of the district
before the Septemb Der term began.

tax revenue for the district
amounts to $50 per year, $500 OF
