It is drama. It is love, and suspense, It Is the theater in Its highest appeal-powerful, sen. timental conflict.
 "Stahlemates" is by no conception 'heavyl" 1t hristles with action, and ahounds with hy-play between c kid who knows the tough side of life and Q man who knows the tougher. It splatters laughter about in gen- erous portions-relieving tightly drawn dramatic highlights with bursts of comedy. It even drops Beery into an hilarious romantic complication that looks like storm- clouds forever. This picture reveals the complete Beery. All sides of his many great characterization have their play in the unraveling of this plot. From the drunk and the bum, from the thief and the crook he rises magnificently into tho true man and skilled doctor he had once been. Beery gives the grandest per- formanoe of his entire career, and c great characterization for motion picture audiences to enjoy,
 In Mickey Rooney you have the outstanding youthful success of 1888. Since Captains Courageous" he has skyrocketed through the Hardy Family" hits, Lord Jeff" and other pictures to c distinctive spot all his own. His ability to thrill youngsters. adolescents. adults and elders with equal satlsfaction is one of the most talked about achievements current in the theat- rical world. Jackie Coogan did it Freddie Bartholomew did it. Yet Mickey differs from them in one important clement. He is as univer- sal . boy as the gewskid on tho corner. the young hopeful in the sandlot. To watch Mickey Is not to watch . star, knowingly, but to watch ono of your own kind. Small wonder then that he has slipped in-. to the heart of the world in. trigued 1t to his call and cree ated c storm ct any theater where he appears.

"Hoagland Carmichael. Attorney Nt-Law."
 If the owner of the shingle bear- ing this legend had been content to vemain an obscure young lawyer in Florida, the music-loving American nation might never have sung "Stardust." For Hoagland Car- michael, attorney, and Hoagy Car michael, composer of popular songs, are Identical. Chief difference in the extremes of his dual personality is that the lawyer was a dud-the composer e top-ranking success,
 Today Carmichael is one of Hol- iywood's creators of song with dozens of the nations favorites to his credit. "Lazybones," Rockin' Chair" Georgia On My Mind" "One Morning Tn May" Little Old Lady" .. these are Q few of the songs that have spread his fame as . composer, and effectually buried oil recollections of his hav- ing ever been an aspiring young attorney.

NEW COMBINATION
 TOPS STATE FILM
Bette Davis and ErrOl Flynn Headline Cast of
 "The Sisters"

one of the most exciting star combinations in motion picture his- tory is the team of Bette Davis and Errol Flynn who head the giant cast of featured players in "The sisters," opening at the Warner Bros state theater this afternoon as the headliner of the double Movie Quis bill.
 The picture is three point enter- tainment and 1t is said that theater. goers will not bc satisfied with see- ing it once or even twice. It c0- stars Miss Davis and Flynn for the first time in their sensationaliy suc- cessful careers; t is the picturiza. ton of Myron Brinigs novel which has been one of the best-seliers Of recent years; and it is 6 vigorous drama as this current season has produced.
 Flynn and Miss Davis do the most striking acting jobs of their respec- tive and brilliant careers in roles that are completely new departures for both of them. Flynn has none of the swords. pistus or iances which have been his stock in trade with which to work, His current role provides him with nothing more than lines of deep dramatic content to speak. In general, Miss Davis has laughed ct, double crossed and toyed with many stars in her previous successes: but in this pros duction she ct iast meets her match in daaling, daring Flynn. This starring combination is truly happy one. and audiences will iifl- doubtedly Do ciamoring for more.
 The story of 'eThe Sisters" covers the four years between the presi- dental elections Of Teddy Roosevelt and Taft, and the dynamic rela- tionship between the people and the age in which they lived has been caught in an amazing fashion. The three Elliott sisters, played by Bette Davis. Anita Louise and Jane Bryan are the most beautiful girls ct the election ball in Silver Bow, Mon- tana, but from that night on, the sisters weave their checquered ca- reers in widely varied patterns. Bette slopes to San Trancisco with c fascinating young fieWspapermaii, played by Flynn. Miss Louise, the second sister, siccunabs to the WOOL ment this evening gre @Mr. Doodle Kicks on" and MT.

Those hailstones you read about in
small items in the telegraph news
every now and then, "as big as base
ball." "as large as hens eggs, "as

no reason for doubling the reports.
Hailstones do an average of $47,-
100000 damage to the ten leading
crops in the United States every year.
which fact indicates how common
they are, and many of them are OF
surprising proportions, particularly in
the Middle West. Ten years ago to-
day, at Potter, Neb., an official Anne
rican record was set when hailstones
ranging up to 1 IL pounds, II inches
in circumstance, beat down crops.
Nearby, in Kansas, on. another day
hailstones filled a 6-foot gulley com
pletely.
They were small compared to hail
stones that fell in India, South Africa
and elsewhere At Johannesburg
hail as large as cocoanuts fell on the
veldt for Is minutes. From India
come frequent reports of half-pount
hailstones that beat down houses anf

Many in our Southern States have

scribes to the Henderson Daily Dis
patch for me. I have received your
paper over a period of many years
and enjoy reading the personal and
special articles.
Des Moines, Iowa, our capital city,
is located at the confluence of the
Des Moines and Raccoon rivers The
Iowa farm lands are very fertile and
the 1888 corps, are exceedingly good
milk and honey"
Now, in these so called bad times,
business as whole is far from being
knocked out. Our general business is
better as whole in Des Moines and
the Iowa territory than anywhere else
in our good old United States. Much
of the complaints are in the head. For
instance, a young man of my acquain-
lance, accepted position a few days
ago with New York firm, travelling
in Iowa. This young man, a graduate
lawyer, took the bull by the horns
and in two days his commissions were
good. His earnings were far above
the ordinary wage Garner. Good times
are here for the ones willing to ad-
just themselves to the existing con-
ditions.
Furthermore, conditions in the sur
rounding country is far from being
dead. Monday, several of us from Des
Moines attended the National Balloon
Corps reunion in Omaha, Nebraska
We were the guests of Major General
Ford at Fort Omaha. The Ak Sar Ben
Den Show and The Ak Sar Ben Horse
Races. The Ak Sar Ben, NEBRASKA
spelled backward) is comparable with
New Orleans Mardi Gras. This is
Omaha's big booster club. The nigh
we were their guests the Den wae
packed, the races well attended and
the spirits of good times at hand.
My home has been in the surround
ing territory of Nebraska, Kansas,
Missouri and Iowa since 1916. Bust
ness is going ahead in this trade ter
ritory regardless of the would be
wreckers of this democracy.
Thank you for The Henderson Daily
Dispatch and more power to you.
Yours very truly,

latively small area though its track

One can happen anywhere, and areas
that never have snow storms often
are visited by hail. That helps us
understand how much fear and awe
they used to inspire in superstitious
folk.
Hail is produced this way: Rain
drops are caught on top of an up
ward current of air carried to
height where they freeze. The cur
rent of air recedes, and the hallstone
falls. On it's way it gets coating of
rain. It may be carried up by an
other current, and freeze again. It
may come down to get another coat
ing of rain, and be carried still an
other time up to the freezing zone.
Through this process it can reach
the large as peach" and large as
apple" proportions you read about.
Weather scientists are now pretty GER
tain, however, that the maximum vio-
lence of thunderstorm drafts wouldn't
permit hailstones to get any heavier
than five pounds, so don't believe any
report about hailstones "as big as
elephants, which required three days
to melt"
