IRENE DUNNE. CHARLES BOYER IN CAPITOL HIT
Love Affair Playing Now af Local Theatre, To-
 night, Tomorrow

Powerful in it's grip upon the hu- man emotions, Love Affair, one of the most interesting films of the year. opened yesterday at the Capi- tol Theatre, with Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer. It is on tonight and again tomorrow.
 An engrosSing story, brilliant dia- logue, big emotional scenes-all un- fcrgettably sympathetic-contribute to the dramatic sweep of this poig- nant romance of two intuitiye and highly intelligent people who are able to analyze their own hearts and brave enough to do something about it.
 Miss Dunne plays the role ot a woman of the world; Boyer is seen as a Continental Casanova. Although both are engaged to people of wealth and are without financial stability themselves, the two fall desperately in love with each other during an ocean trip.
 Because it is the first real love to come into their ill-spent lives, they agree to forsake their chance at luxury, Boyer to make good in six months.
 The valiant efforts of the two to justify their existence, their respec- tive trails of sacrifice, bitter disap- pointment and brave struggle, and an unforeseen accident that forces one to drop from the others life, are events which build toward an in tensely dramatic climax when Fate finally reunites them.
 Two songs-"Sing My Heart" and Wishing afford Miss Dunne an opportunity to demonstrate her de- lightful vocal talents. In this, her first straight dramatic role in sev- eral years, the actress reaches new heights, while Boyer, ideally cast as romantic figure, excels past per formances.

On January II, 17O5, 233 years ago. a great man
was born-one who with others was largely instru-
mental in shaping the destiny of our democracy
That man was Benjamin Franklin. He has left a
which his doctrine of thrift. Wonder what would
be his reaction to the spending program of gov
ernmental units today?
Representative Harold Knutson in a speech to
Congress Tuesday invited those Democrats recently
referred to 'tweedledums," to join the G. o. P
and help save the country from bankruptcy or
worse" The President recently told conservative
Democrats, not in favor of his program to get out
of the party and go to the Republican party,
somewhere else. We think fusion of the "tweedle-
dees' and the "tweedledumS' might be formidable
enough to cause someone to "tweedlethumbs" after
1910.
November elections evidently have some bearing
on Santas popularity.-There large number of
oficehoders who don't believe in the old gentleman
anymore.
American people are rapidly developing greater
appreciation of the beautiful and this trend is
sponsble for many improvements toward beautifica-
tion both in city and country. As the individual
citizen beautfies his front yard SO the cities are
beautifying their front yards, entrances. Under
this plan Sauk Centre will have Identification pro-
ject for improvement of roadsides into the CITY, to
complete or round out that which already has been
completed around the bridge and in the city park.
Beautiful cities, towns and villages, and attractive
roadsides are invitation to visitors. At this time

for ideas to help nature bring out the beauty of

more beautiful with planning and ugly sights can be
banished likewise.
There may be questions of non-political signifi-
cance but they few today Through complex
situations lives have become regulated and regi

Frogs Hatch Out;

recently when she was preparing a
meal for her family. While she was
peeling potatoes, she came to one
that looked alright on the outside,
but when she started to peel it she
saw a brown spot right under the
skin, so she cut the potato in half,
and suddenly three small live frogs
jumped out at her. There was q
large hollow space in the center Of
the potato and the little frogs must
have Matched out there, and then
lived off the potato until Mrs. Han
son liberated them. The bodies of
the frogs measured about 11-12ths

legs no doubt has been born before,
but here is a new type of freak.
On the F. J. Norton farm a colt
was born recently with only one
front leg, the other leg being a
short stub bone about a foot long
without a hoof. The oddity in the
thing lies in the fact that the other
front leg had two hooves protrud-

was otherwise normal. The mother
of the colt is 18 years old and this
is her twelfth colt. All the others

relatives identified the body as that
Of Marston. The remains were
taken to Taylors Falls for burial.
