| was shown at our fair, and three
times the writer was asked the
question: How much dit it cost
the fair to secure that exhibit? An
swer: Mr.. Schriver paid the fair
seven dollars for concession space
and tickets for his attendants.
Thanks, Mr.. Schriver, and your
company, for your splendid coop
Grafton.
Fair visitors on Tuesday evening
may have guessed that there was a
hitch in the program. Mr.. Connie
WALTON was summoned home be-
cause of serious illness in his fam
lily. Mr.. VIM. Boerger volunteered
to fill the gap with an impromptu
address. Mr.. Boerger can always
be depended upon to help out the
fair. AS an indication of the pop
ularIry of Mr.. Boerger's spelling and
intelligence contests, last year we
paid the boys and girls taking part
$111.00. This year their number in
creased and we had to pay $124.OO.
Each boy and girl failing to win
prize receives a dollar bill.
Thanks Mr.. Boerger, and may your
good work among the children of
this county continue for many
years.
Another good samaritan is Fred
| Unger. Last year we damaged his
piano while hauling. No settle
ment was made for the damage.
This year Fred placed a display at
the fair as an Offset for damages
and donated the use of a piano
and, hauled the piano. Fred also
donated and hauled the rest room
furniture. Thanks, a lot, Fred.

for markets undoubtedly will be
smaller. The recent pig crop esti-
mate of % per cent less this spring
and 3S per cent less sows to far
row this fall, also indicates small
supplies for future market.
Fewer hogs for the future is bear
ish in the corn market since it
points to reduced consumption of
corn. If hog production has been
cut as much as reports indicate, it
may prove to be too drastic reduc-
ton. A bad run of cholera this
summer and fall might result in a
pork famine.

While business interests on
the Boulevard would rather
see a four-lane traffic than a
dual road by their doors, the
State Highway Department
feels that the safety of traffic
has a consideration with them
over any private interests. 1t
is true that eating houses and
garages will have much of the
room and parking places cur
tailed over what they have
been having, but maybe after
it is all done, it will not be so
bad as they think. Surely a
dual road will add to the safe
ty of motor traffic and added
to this will be the flowers and
shrubbery along the center of
the Boulevard that in time
may be an improved spot that
will contribute to a Smyrna
beautiful. 1t would be fine if
it can be made to continue on
out by the two cemeteries,
the State Welfare Home and
Belmont Hall to the Leipsic
road intersection where the
dual roads will widen out on
its way to Dover. The State
Highway Department may
have to bring the two roads
close together, maybe a four
lane, to pass the cemeteries.
This will develop much better
when the concrete is laid.
However, the dual road to
Dover is going to be a fine
piece of road construction and
now that they are eliminating
bends and curves, even short
ening the route, its going to
make a worth while change.

Baseball playing on the
streets should be stopped. No
doubt there is a town ordin-
ance against such nuisances
but Town Council does not
seem to enforce it. Pity it is
that Smyrna has not a play
ground for little children.
Some say the school athletic
field is sufficient for this but
there are, no doubt, rules and
regulations that would hamp-
er little boys. Then too, they
must be near the watchful eye
of their parents or some one
in authority and this author
ity is lacking at the athletic
field after school hours. New
ertheless, it is risky to play
ball in the street where autos
are passing and where the
danger of breaking windows
and destroying flower gardens
is ever apparent. Only the
other day a thrown or batted
hall went thru a window of a
Union Street residence while
boys were playing ball. Coun-
Gil will do a good thing if they
will have their officers make
the rounds and prohibit base
ball playing on the streets.

TWeIVetrees at
Columbia

"She Was A Lady,, there was
no doubt about that but she had
difficulty in making the right
people realize that fact.
The current feature showing at
Loew's Columbia was a better
story than play; the characters
seemed more stately, more quietly
dignified in print than in pic
lures.
1t is the story of the son of a
proud English family who mar
ried his mothers maid and who in
consequence was banished to the
States to regret his misadventure!
The difference in social station
worried the man not at all but
the wife was forever reminding
him that his lady mother was no
better than she. There were
three children born to this couple:
the eldest, a charming girl with
eyes and chin and manneriSmS of
paternal grandmother; the other
two children were screaming, mis-
chief makers, humored by the
mother, tolerated by the father.
There was little understanding
or sympathy between eldest and
mother; the former servant girl
could not understand the delicate,
gentle creature who made excuses
for a drunken father; a creature
who preferred to sit alone in a
barn and read poetry, rare and
beautiful, which she did not un-
derstand but which sounded so
beautiful when read aloud.
It was not surprising then,
when the father died, brave
death, that the girl should make
every effort to reach England and
the grandmother who would love
her. Tragedy, disappointment,
chagrin stalked her path from the
moment she stepped from the
boat in England, but heartbreak
can find surcease in love and
when her wealthy young sutton
convinces her that he is the lad
she has been waiting for you
know the final fadeout will be
the customary embrace, and you'll
not be disappointed, this is 10
different from the rest.
Miss Twelvetrees moves nicely
through a role which was prob
ably altered to fit her talents;
Donald Woods works a little too
hard to be convincing; Ralph
Morgan, Monroe Owsley, Halli-
we'll Hobbies and Doris Lloyd play
the support.
Shorts include an amusing lit
tie story with the beloved Irwin
S. Cobb getting into mischief with
a smart-aleck young cousin;
nature study of a vicious plant
and a newsreel crowded with
startling and interesting events of
the day. K. Y.

'Borretts' Open
Second Week

1.-THE Barretts of Wimpole
Street." story by Rudolph Besier
of the immortal love of Elizabeth
Barrett and Robert Browning, is
held for second week at Loew's
Palace Theater.
This drama is one Of the most
charmingly photographed films
recently released. Throughout
there is the atmosphere of perfect
adherence to matters which make
a meticulouS production.
Norma Shearer is lovely, ap-
pealing and exquisite as the un-
fortunate elder daughter in the
Barrett household, nutured and
commanded to a life of enforced
invalidism by the very overpower-
ing influence of a domineering
father. Miss Shearer does a noble
bit of acting. fitted particularly
to this more serious type of act
ing, which she all too seldom es-
says.
Fredric March is entrusted
with the portrayal of Mr.. Brown
ing which he does with entirely
too much force. Possibly study re
veals Browning as possessing such
characteristics, but the years have
built up a slightly different back
ground for the wooing in one of
the most romantic loves of the
world.
Charles Laughton as the father
is exacting, uncompromising. al
lowing the estimable actor to dis
play an ever greater versatility.
The entire cast is admirably Sc
lected. Particular mention must
be made of Flush. the dog, one of
the SmarteSt animals of the
screen. Throughout a very seri-
Gus performance it remains for
this wonderfully trained canine to
inject a few moments of relief.

Ben Bernie Is Stage HeodIiner,
GLAND on Screen at Fox

Charlie Chan, that perennially
popular, soft spoken Chinese de-
tective, again walks across the
screen, Charlie Chan in Lon
don," being the feature picture
at the Fox this week.
This character, created by the
author, Earl Derr Biggers, is en-
acted in the usual thoroughgo'
ing, conscientious and excellent
manner by warner GLAND, one Of
the finest troupers Of picture
land.
The locale being in London, the
picture has the English atmoS-
phere and the English accent to
say nothing of some shots of the
life among the English gentry.
The English atmosphere is done
to perfection.
Good Mystery
Drue Legion appears in the
leading feminine role and does q
good job Of it. There are many
prominent parts in the picture,
all intrusted to seasoned actors.
The production itself Is very
dramatic and its many tense mo-
ments can almost be guaranteed
to thrill even the most blase
movie-taster.
It opens with a man in the
death cell sentenced to be hanged
in a few days for a murder he did
not commit. His sister, portrayed
by Miss Legion, finally gets
Charlie Chan interested in the
case. Working against this cruel
handicap of time, the Chinese de-
tective digs in and things begin
to happen. one of them being an
other murder.
It is needless to say that the
least suspected person is finally
arrested for both murders. A fine
mytery picture, and wouldn't an
audience be fooled some day If
some Of the persons who act so
guilty finally turned out to be the
real felon?
Bernie on Stage
On the stage that Old Maestro
Ben Bernie and his lads make
merry. With cigar and fiddle he
struts his stuff to the huge d.
light of packed house. 1t is al
most Superfluous to say that his
Offering was good.
Among his feature players he
introduced Billy Sevrin, acrobatic
dancer; "Whistling" Purv Pullen;
Col. Nanny Prayer in THE Little
German Band" and Billy Wilgus,
the crooner. who scored an un'
questioned ovation from the audi
ence. A really fine offering for
youse guys and youse gals and
every bit as good as it sounds on
the radio.
Prof. Lampkin, and his lads,
play as an overture excerpts from
the opera Pagliacci. A finely done
thing and worthy Of glowing
praise. Portions of an aria we're
sung by q member of the orcheS-
ira who did full justice to this
mournful and great music.
There is a Thelma TODD and
Patsy Kelly comedy and the news
reel completes the program.
