DAILY SHORT STORY HIGH BOARD FENCE Granny Removed the Obstacle That Separated Rene from Her Grocery Boy Sweetheart

Granny had so much to say that it took several days to say # all. And Rene was miserable because' when Granny met Peter at tnt board fence, Rene had to remain in the kitchen with her nose pressed to the window.
 And then one day, when all the girls were home and they were sitting at the dinner table with their new husbands, and when Eileen had sated herself next to Granny and Rene after getting upr set over the shawl Granny insisted on wearing when the new hus- bands were there, Granny cleared her throat.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-07-26

Every one looked at Granny, for Granny usually sat quietly at the table for fear some one would lash out at her. But she cleared her throat and looked right back at Al of them as if rather wishing some one would say something. No one did.
 I'm going away" she said, and looked at Rene while all the others gasped. Eileen looked at her down trodden husband as though to say Granny was outraging their years of sacrifice.
 Finally Eileen asked in strained voice. But where, Granny? You know we have tried to make you happy here" This with a meaning glance as though to say she couldn't be- lieve her ears. Granny turned to Rene. You don't mind my shawl, nor my sitting on the porch hour after | hour in my rocker, do you?" Bright tears gathered in Rene's eyes. :. "No, you know I don't, Granny" "That's what I thought and that's why I'm going away and take you with me. We're going to have nice quiet nook in small town where Peter can have his own grocery store and | where I can sit on the porch ana | teeter all I want to-" Rene wanted to laugh and cry. and she found the best place to do it was right on Granny's shoulder.
 Hush, child, Peter is waiting for us."
 Granny frightened the shawl about her shoulders and fiercely dried her own eyes.

COMEDY TO SHOW
AT NEW DEAL. THEATRE

With F'ieldian announcements
and Feldian pantomimic blunder-
ings dominating the film, Man on
the Flying Trapeze," which comes
to the New Deal theatre, Nespelem,
Friday and Sunday, December l3
and Is, becomes another triumph
for that king of comedians, w. c.
Fields. .e.
In an entirely different role than
he has hitherto played Fields has
plenty of opportunity to indulge the
type of individual tomfoolery which
has made him famous. Starting off
in one of those hilarious retiring
for the night" scenes, Fields is re-
vealed as brow beaten, henpecked
husband whose adventures eventual
ly carry him from his bed, at the
insistence of his nagging wife, Kath-
leen Howard, to the cellar to rout
couple of singing burglars from the
house. Instead he joins them in
the drinking of his own apple cider,
wherein he finds himself leading
the hastily formed quartet in rem
dition of The Banks of the Wa
bash" Eventually and inevitably
he is carted off to Jail where much
to his surprise and dis1nay he lands
behind the bars, while his compan-
ions go free. His daughter, Mary
Brian, goes to his rescue.
AS if he hasn't troubles enough,
his ticket for the wrestling match
Is stolen. From then on, his at
tempts to elude his "in-laws" and
get the boss permission for the
afternoon off to attend the bout
keep things going at a lively and
uproarious pace. How he finally
reaches the limit Of his endurance
in his marital troubles, how his
value as memory expert at his Of
flee is as last recognized form
other sprightly, breezy sequences.

or John 8. Thorp, for the purpose
of recommending assessment SEIZED
ules for the coming year.
Three committees named to MAKE

gated lands, dry farm lands and
livestock and grazing lands made
the following reports which were
adopted
Ask Same Schedule
THAT schedules for irrigated lands
remain the same as those In Use
the past two years.
"Inaslnuch as many tracts OF land
In the county that are susceptible Of
Irrigation are now carried at low
valuation on the tax rolls because
they have been withheld from cul-
tivation, we recommend that this
land be assessed at 20 per cent Of
the schedule applying to similar IT.
rigated land"
It was recommended that wheat
lands be divided into three classes
and the values placed as follows:
First class, So; second class, Sc:
third class, S.; Rye. first class, 81;
secand class. SO.
The livestock and grazing lands
committee recommended that all

favoring organized effort to combat
the present tendency toward the

over $4,000 tn outstanding war
rants, and that further deficit Is
probable for the coming year. Re-
cent sessions Of the state leglsla-
ture have been imposing new obli-
cations upon the counties without
providing any increase in county
revenue, he stated.
