Proved He Can Take IT

0N THE favorable side Of this young mans
W ledger may be said these things:
He has proved that he can take it" in a com.
petitive sense. At the age Of ~ he beat Holly
wood at its own game and produced six movies,
all Of which were money-makerS. He is q good
mixer, which Lindbergr never was and never
will be. He has a large fortune and can never
be accused Of selling out for money! nick the
public all too often hacks in the idols pedestal
He was able to leave Hollywood unspoiled-itself
a remarkable achievement.
On the side Of the ledger against which a
question mark must be placed are these items:
Heretofore he has been merely Howard Hughes
just a wealthy multimilnonaire engineerflier,
among many wealthy fliers and engineers. Now
he is THE Howard Hughes, who encircles the
world in less than four days. When he blew his
nose as Howard Hughes, sportsman pilot. no
body gave damn. When THE Howard Hughes
blows his nose, it becomes news.

While we are on this subject, I want to
mention splendid talk Jimmy Fidler gave
over the radio the other night in regard to some
Of our great stars. AS he explained, the lack Of
really good pictures today is partly due to the
temperamental demands Of these stars, who feel
they can run the business better than the men
who employ them. II you will look back through
the years and see the pictures Of these trouble
makers when they were chorus girls, girls who
worked behind counter, did any little odd jobs
they could get, and compare these pictures to
the beautiful creatures you see on the screen
today-al thanks to the wisdom, the care and
the knowledge of their directors and the men
who employ them-you will realize how deeply
grateful they should be instead Of always funing
and fussing and walking out Of the studio when
any little thing goes wrong.

Glamour Girls GiUen Blame

I HAVE known personally most Of the really
great stars, and they are the easiest, the most
unaffected and sweetest persons in the world to
get along with. There are great many So-called
glamour girls who have come up recently, and
these seem to be the ones who are making most
Of the trouble. wonder why it is the average
moving picture today in America is really falling
far below par. Why don't they put on some
more movies like "Pasteur"? They should take
some Of the wonderful books written long ago
and film them like the English do. staying as
near to the truth Of the story as they can, and
have their leading ladies look like human beings
instead of painted dolls with eyelashes two feet
long. Above ALL they should try to give the
American people interesting and educational
films of history, which is of the most thrilling
things in the world.
Again, thanks to you brave managers who
started the campaign to make everyone happy
in your theaters, and hope the stars who heard
Jimmy Fidler will take warning. If they don't,
I hope their bosses will act. We want better
pictures in America each year. instead Of cheaper
and sillier ones.

MAKE PLANS FOR WEED
CONTROL IN THE COUNTY

Ralph Mercer, Extension Agron-
omist, met Monday with the weed
control committee elected at an
Agricultural Education meeting re-
Gently to discuss methods of weed
control in Big Horn valley the
coming year. The meeting was held
in the office of George w. Gustaf-
son, county extension agent. At
the close of the meeting it was
voted that an effort be made to
file a petition of SO freeholders, as
required by law, urging the Board
of County Commissioners to des-
ignate Big Horn county as a weed
control district.
Weed control either by cultiva-
ton or the use of chemicals is one
of the practices recommended I'M
der the Agricultural Conservation
program, but must be done in
a weed district so designated by
law.

Education
Week To Be
Held Here
Parents of School Children Are
Invited To Visit School
Next Week

In order to better a~cquaint the
parents and patrons with the.
schools, the trustees of district IT.
H have set aside the week of April
II to April Is a. local education
week.
1t is felt by school authorities
that by having a special invitation
issued to the parents, a great num-
Der of parents will visit the school
who ordinarily would not do so. It
is believed that through the par
ents and patrons visiting the
schools a better understanding Of
what is being done by the teach
ers and the stundents under their.
supervision will result.
People whose children attend
school should be we'll acquainted
with the work that is being carried
on. and often the cause of mis-
understanding as to school work
n functioning of the schools is
due to the lack of understanding.
This can be remedied through bet
ter acquaintance of the parents
and teachers, authorities stated.
The teachers of the various
grade schools in Hardin, Crow Ag-
ency and the rural schools are
sending out written invitations by
the children telling parents of ed
ucation week, and inviting them to
look over the school system. No I'M
usual program will be presented,
but the usual school routine will
be carried on during the week,
so that visitors may gain a true
picture of the work that is car
ried on during the year.
Hardln's new junior high school
will be open for inspection all dur
ing the week. Any patron interest
ed in maxim a tour of the Junior
high school may do so at that
time. At all buildings, students
have been appointed to conduct
visitors through, in order that all
departments may be visited.
AS a proper opening for the
local education week, the combined
music departments, both vocal and
instrumental, of the Hardin and
Crow Agency schools will give a re-
cital in the auditorium of the
Junior high school on Sunday, APP
ril 10. The program will start at 2
pm. This program is compliment
tary to the people of the district
who, through their support, have
made possible the excellent music
program which is now offered.
Over one hundred children will
take part in the Sunday after
noon recital.
The teachers of the district hope
that the parents will take advan-
tage of the opportunity to visit
schools, and urge that all do so.

TWO YOUNG MEN NEARLY
OVERCOME BY GAS HERE

Paul Perry and James Clawson
narrowly escaped being overcome
by gas last Thursday morning in
Clawson's room in the postoffice
building.
When the two young men at
tempted to get out of bed, they
were unable to stand or walk. Both
lay down on the floor, where the
fumes were not so strong, and
eventually recovered enough
strength to leave the room.
A defective flue and a strong
north wind were blamed for the
escaping gas, which was thought
to be carbon monoxide.
