In Romance in Manhattan, which
opens on Sunday at the Orpheum
Treatre, Hollywood has sent to the
screen a beautiful acted drama of
ubitter-sweet romance, touching pa.
thos and the struggles and dreams
of two of New York's six millions
who face life's eternal problems a
bit afraid but with sunny optimism.
1t is a picture that must appeal to all
ages and all castles because of its
vivid human theme and its stirring,
lifting spirit of courage, highlighted
with episodes Of delightful humor.
Francis Lederer and Ginger Rog-
ersplay the young lovers whose ro-
nance eventually blossoms despite
tremendous odds. Their acting is de-
lightfully fresh, natural and touched
with the skillful brush of genius.
Never has Lederer, the dashing Con-
tinental matinee idol, been more CON
vincing and fascinating than as the
ambitious, Joyous immigrant to
whom even the slums of America
are translated into beauty by his
own radiant spirit. He surpasses the
attractive characterization which he
gave in 1.-The Pursuit of Happiness"
Ginger Rogers gives a sparkling,
appealing portrayal of the smart
cracking, sympathetic chorus girl
who befriends the lone immigrant.

Man Receives
Government Compliment

The following article taken from
the Melrose QMinn.) Beacon, con
Germs j. V. Pappenfus, wner of an
elevator at Plentywood, and well
known in Plentywood:
u. v. Pappenfus of our city, who
supervises the operation OF several
elevators throughout the Northwest,
recently received a compliment from
Government sources as a grain and
seed man.
"A representative Of the seed stocks
committee in the procuring of desir-
able seed to be available for farmers
of the Northwest, recently sampled
and weighed a 1000 bushel lot of
seed oats which was prepared by the
P%appenfus Elevator at De Graft,
MINI. He reported that 1t was one of
the best samples he had taken in
several states during his sampling
in the present Government seed pro-
gram.
With the county now well on the
way out of the great drouth and de-
preston, the matter of securing good
seed is very important if the best
results r to he obtained. With the
best authorities ON seed in our land
honoring a local man for his ability
and service in handling grain and
seed, we want to add the cOmpli-
ments of the Beacon to Mr.. Pappen-
fus and the able assistants he has in
his elevators"

FR0|O ASKS BOARD
FOR LOWER RATES

Froid has petitioned the Montana
Public Service Commission through
Jerry J.. OConnell, new service COM
missioner, for a reduction in electric
rates and has suggested numerous
changes.
The so-called new Residence rate
should eliminate the base charge of
$l.25 per month. (This charge of
SLIPS per month is just as wrong
here as the service charge of S1.25
was wrong as charged by The Mon
tana Power Company in western
Montana, and you have ordered
chem to eliminate this charge.)
Residences should have a monthly
minimum of $1.0O and for this dollar
they should get electricity. In other
words if the XVIII rate is SC, then
they should get 20 XVIII for this dol
lar.
The commercial lighting rate
should begin at SC and schedule
down from Sc instead of, as at pres
ent beginning with 13c and schedule
down from he.
Heating and cooking rates beth
commercial and residence should be
reduced n half. If this were done
increased consumption would more
than take care of this reduction.
Commercial refrigeration should
be reduced one third.
Power rates instead OF a monthly
minimum of s1.00 for each connect
ed horsepower should be possibly for
each up to five, 75c each for the
next five, and o0c each for all over
10.

TOWARD RIGHT
Senator Pledges Himself for
Reduction in Federal
Expenditures.
By Times Special


WASHINGTON, April 9.-Senator
Frederick VanNuys appeared today
to be somewhat dubious regarding
the necessity for passage of such
huge Federal appropriations as the
S4,0oO 100000 works relief measure
for which he voted.
In a formal statement he pledged
himself TO fight for curtailment Of
Federal expenditures and decen-
tralization Of Federal governmental
powers just as soon as our indus
trial. agricultural and economic con-
ditions justify"
I thoroughly appreciate the fact
that such severe drains upon the
Federal Treasury can not continue
indefinitely" Senator VanNuys de-
clared. Sooner or later we shall
reach the bottom of the barrel.
AS I see it. the instant duty of
the Administration and the Con-
greSs is to encourage the states and
private industry to rehabilitate
themselves through their own eff
forts.
I depiore the growing tendency
to depend more and more upon Fed
eral aid. I deplore, likewise, that
Capitalization of political and
economic power in the Federal gov
eminent. which necessarily has
grown up III the administration Of
our emergency measures.
I shall welcome the opportunity
to assist in the decentralization OF
this power even more rapidly than
it has developed"
