Forests blanket three-fourths of the Gold Coast but in the clear ings are vast plantations of oil palm and cacao trees. The latter make the colony the worlds No. 1 producer of the cacao bean. So far has the production gone, in fact, that Gold Coast beans ac- count for 40 per cent of the worlds chocolate crop.
 Hence the surplus. Hence low prices. And as a protest against these low prices, Gold Coast farmers have been destroying this major product. Almost as fast as they burn the cocoa, however, tropical heat, heavy tropical rains start new growths. Coded to

"The Arkansas Traveller" on Same Program With
 Excellent Cast

4 well talanOed program of screen entertaipuaent consisting of two super attractions awaits the theater- going public at the Warner Bros. State theater, for today marks the opening engagements of the long, awaited "Girls' School" and sThe Arkansas Traveller"
 Ann Shirley, Nan Grey and Ralph BellaIny together with ffty beautiful stars of tomorrow comprise the brilliant cast of aGifls' school" This picture is said to be one of the most charming and romantic of the year. It is so different that the accus- toned ndjectives ffhrilliAnt,'' out standing. "splendid. and many others of praise must be toFegone,
 The diversified roles of the large and excellent cast, are so well hal- anced and divided that even more or less minor parts have lutstand- ing distinction.
 AdoleScent girls. drealny-eyed with thoughts of their senior prom, of orchids and evening gowns, people this shimmering story of 17-ysar-Old W0manhood, whose only Menace Is found in the haring quarrels and secrets of impetuous youth.
 The sfnugly snpbbish seminary in the soithland, Magnolia Hall, pro- vides the setting for the Alm. Ann Shirley and Nan Grey, in the prin- cipal roles, are puerfectly cast as two seniors of the exclusive semin- ary.
 Anne is the poor. girl working her way through school; Nan, the parn- pered only daughter of wealthy par ents. Opposite these two feminine principals are two excellent young Juvenile actors Noah Beery, Jr., and Kenneth Howell.
 Maturer principals, matched in pairs as is fitting in such a llnoon- and-June- treated story, are these splendid performers: Ralph Bellaniy and Gloria Holden, Pierre Watkins and Doris Kenyon.
 Especial mention is due Heather Thatcher who plays the scene-steal- ing role of the "charm 1ady;" Cecil Cunningham, as the stern but Shrewd dean of the school, and young Dorothy Moore, who realis- tically plays Miss Grey's giggling room m-mate.
 A new and different Bob Burns will be seen in his latest vehicle 'The Arkansas Traveller" included on this program as the second big hit.
 In his new role, Bob puts aside the bazooka, wise cracks and fun making which marked the musical comedy days of his early screen career and characteyizes one of the nations most colorful figures. the crusading editor of town news paper. For this portrayal, he is judged as deserving . place along side that other great interpreter of American characters, Will Rogers.

STRING ENSEMBLE
 TO GIVE CONCERT
Hartford Unit to Appear in SOuthingtOn School
 November 30

Much enthusiasm has greeted the announcement that the Hartford String Ensemble, unit of the State wide Federal Music Project, will ap- pear at the Holcornb high school auditorium in Southington on Nov. 30th in joint concert with the South ington Choral club.
 Celia Belman will direct the group of S5 voices and will also appear as soloist. F. Charles Adler will con- duct the ensemble selections. Miss Anne Lowrey is club accompanist. In this first joint undertaking of the Southington Choral club, it is interesting to recount the cricum- stances which led to the organiza- tion of this group in September, 1887.
 Officials of the Y. M. 0. A. have cooperated generously with the Choral club in the use of their large conference room for their weekly rehearsals, and the Southington Wo- mans club have sponsored the growing organization. Since Febru- ary, 1888, the group has been a unit of the Connecticut State Fedora tion of Music clubs.
 In March of this year, they pre- sented a broadcast over Waterbury Station WATR. In that same month the Choral club took part in 8 joint

theater tomorrow and Sunday, when it will have its first local showing.
 The picture is said to be the "sur- prise picture" of the year first, be- cause it co-stars Joel McCrea and Andrea Leeds for the first time and second, because 1t is a story of peo- pie who do what everyone wants to do.
 Dramatic in theme, yet highlight- ed by moments of wistful romance and gay comedy, the picture is con- sidered 8 distinct triumph for Di- rector Mayo and 8 must see' for every member of the theater-going public.
 Miss Leeds, as the heroine, turns in the finest portrayal of her prom ising career. As the romantic girl who sells wedding gowns and dreams of the day she herself will be 8 bride, she sets high mark in the stimulation of desperate young love. She emerges as a bright new star.
 McCrea, as the struck Kansas farm boy, makes the most of his greatest role since Wells Fargo" His performance is impress sive by virtue of its naturalness and complete sincerity.
 Frank Jenks, who scored as the singing taxi driver in 100 Men and Girl" again rings up a comedy triumph as the friend who intro- duces Joel McCrea and Miss Leeds on 6 blind date, and is then forced into a reluctant job as match-mak- CT. Sharing comedy laurels in the picture with Jenks is blonde Dor othea Kent. She delivers the best comedy lines in the picture with skill and telling effect.
 Others in the talented cast include Virginia Grey as the department store "vamp" who tries to lure Joel away from Miss Leeds, and Grant Mitchell in the amusing role of MT. Duke, who specia1izes in clothes for the bride" from the skin out.
 The story concerns itself with the experiences of McCrea, a Kansas farm boy who yearns for adventure on the sea and comes to New York seeking a job on 8 boat. Unable to get work as 8 sailor, he finally lands a position driving truck at g fash ionable store where he meets the romantic Miss Leeds.
 To tell the outcome of the story would lessen your enjoyment of one of the most thoroughly splendid pie lures to come out of Hollywood in the past year.
 In addition to this the manage ment proudly presents the screens number one cowboy Gene Autry ir the first local showing of his latest vehicle Prairie Moon" Starred witt Autry is his inseparable sidekick Smiley Brunette who is again seer in another of his riotous comedy roles.
 The leading feminine part 1. played by Shirley Deane. The film deals with the adventures of Gent and Smiley in bringing up trio O tough kids from New York's lowel east side. The three youngsters art played by David Gorcey, Walter let. ley and Tommy Ryan. Plenty of ac' ton, excellent music and 8 goos story combine to make it an hour O swell entertainment so why not plaI to attend the opening performance tomorrow.

MEASURE TO BECOME LAW
 AT MIDNIGHT
Roosevelt Adopts Third Course for First Time
 Since Tn Office
CHIEF EXECUTIVE
 EXPLAINS ACTION
Double Purpose Served There Are Unwise Parts
 of Legislation

ARTHURDALE HOMESTEADS, West Virginia, May 27-President Roosevelt today announced at the Arthurdale Homesteads school com mencement exercises, that he will permit the five billion dollar tax bill to become a law without his signature.
 If I sign the bill" President Roosevelt said in his address, which was over a nation wide hookup, and I have until midnight in which to sign it, many people will think I approve of abandonment of the im- portant principal of American tax ation.
 If I veto the bill, it will prevent it's many desirable features from go- ing into effect, therefore, for the firsS time since I became President, am going to take the third course.
 T am going to let the act go into effect at midnight tonight without my approval"
 The President further stated he is permitting the measure to become law and in that way will call at- tention to the "unwise parts of the bill"
 The tax which becomes law at midnight contains remnant of the undistributed profits tax recom- mended by President Roosevelt and condemned by business. It complete ly overhauls the former capital gains taxes, which was also attacked by business, by substituting flat rates for graduated scale
 Noting that the legislation retains the principal undistributed profits tax. the President said the penalty for withholding dividends from stockholders is so small, only 2 per cent at the most. it is doubtful whether 1t will wholly eliminate the old tax avoidance practices of the past.
 The abandonment of the prin- cipal of progressive tax payment in accordance with capacity to pay, may encourage a small amount of capital to go into productive en- terprises but will chiefly help those who make large profits in buying and selling of existing stocks"
