M The Local Theaters
STATE

Mlled with tuneful melodies of yester-year and spiced with the in- imitable dancing of Fred .Astaire and Ginger Rogers, 'The Story of VeIOn and Irene Castle" arrived at Warner Bros. State theater yester- day and was enthusiastically greeted by capacity audiences at all per- fornances.
 The Castle Walk, the Castle Waltz, the Tango, the Texas Tom my the Maxixe, and the Castle Pol ka are among the intricate dance routines which are interpreted by the flying feet of this famous danc- ing duo. Scores of old-time tunes of tho pre-war period are scattered throughout the offering, either as songs sung by one or the other of the stars or as dance music for their graceful routines.
 The struggles of the Castles to win recognition as dancers their sudden fame and happiness, and Vernon's experiences as a member of the Royal Flying Corps, are all dramatically unfolded in this spec tacular musical which every one should see.
 A noIapie supporting cast adds much to the films excellence and to the amazingly realistic performances of the two principals. Edna May Oliver, Walter Brennan, Janet Beecher, Etienne Girardot, Lew Fields and other well known play CTS take prominent parts in the story.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents Margaret Lindsay and John Litel in "On Trial" an exciting courtroom drama that will thrill you from start to finish. Janet Chapman, juvenile fa- vorite, is included in the featured players.
 Don't forget the big show coming to the State on Tuesday. John Garfield in "Blackwelrs Island" will positively open three day en- gagement at this popular theater on Tuesday. Included on the same show will be "Never Say Die" with Mar tha Rave and Bob Hope in the CO., starring leads.

before she finally graduated from Western.
 "It took me 10 years to work my way through college" says this graduate of a day when few women went to college. My family for tunes were swept away in the in- fiation period that followed the Civil War. But I never had any other thought than to finish and obtain my degree, no matter how long it took.
 "That's how l felt about raising my family. I felt nothing was too hard or too much of sacrifice to achieve the kind of children I wanted to send out into the world"
 After her graduation in 1886 she married her former teacher, MT. Compton, who had meanwhile be come professor of philosophy at Wooster.
 Western college once presented her with an honorary doctor of law degree flor outstanding achieve ment as wife and mother making her the only, woman ever SO honored for motherhood.
 Still Open-minded
 Mrs. Compton,s mind is open to modern" ways, wherever their usefulness may be demonstrated. Witness the fact that she learned how to drive at 72 in order to take her husband, whose leg had been amputated after a stroke, into the country for air.
 T quit, though, lately" she says, T figure when a person gets to be 30 his judgment isn't so sure and driving always filled me with terrible sense of responsibility for other peoples lives something that lot of young morons don't seem to have these days"

Last winter I cnewed sugar cane in Louisiana and grew fat. After wards tried oranges without success. Last fall I tried grapes without suc-, cess. What is there about the juice of sugar cane that activates the kid- neys and energies glandular tissues and organs? I believe chewing sugar cane has cured my pyorrhea, too.
 Answer-The sugar cane of course contains all of the vitamins, calcium and other minerals t tahgworht and other minerals that grow in it, or rather the juice does. These are removed in refining sugar. Then, too, the exercise and massage of teeth, gums, jaw structure, chewing sugar cane. is beneficial.
 Drinking Water
 How much water should an elderly woman drink? Mother has an idea she should eliminate the last drink of water before she takes another. G. M. K.)
 Answer-Elderly is 8 relative term; depends on whether the indi- vidual or his or friends apply the term. Everybody should drink all the water he or she wants, between meals, before meals, on rising in the morning or before retiring at night. Each should suit his own preference drinking water cold, cool or hot. Av- craze of six or eight glasses of wa ter day, often mentioned as ne- cessary, is not a rule at all. Quan- tity of water one needs depeneds on ones diet, activity, the weather, cli- mate, air condition, etc.; may vary from a pint (not counting that in food) to a gallon a day. Cool or cold water before meals promotes appetite and good digestion, stimu- lates secretion of gastric juice, par ticularly when one feels at all thirsty.

American Mother of 1939"
 Finds PurgnthOOd Is Career In Itself
By NEA Service

By NEA Service
 Wooster, O., May 13.-Mrs. Otelia Compton, at 30 chosen "the Ameri- can mother of 1s39," has no sover- eign recipe for other mothers to fol- low as the nation prepares to ob- serve Mothers Day Silver Jubilee tomorrow.
 The tall, stately widow of Wooster colleges late president hesitates to mention the cardinal tenet of her own formula-prayer flor fear people will not believe her.
 "But it's true-there was not a morning I did not pray" she says, for divine guidance in rear ing her own famous family - Arthur Holly Compton, 1927 Mo- bel prize winner in. physics and professor at University of Chicago; Karl Taylor Compton, president of Massachusetts Institute of Technol- ogy: Wilson Martindale Compton, general manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers association, and Mary Compton Rice, Presby- terian missionary and wife Of the principal of Christian college, Ala habad, India.
 q did not have time for many things outside the home when they were little," says this white haired. gracious mother who was chosen by the American Mothers National Committee of the Golden Rule Foundation as the 1889 "rep- resentative of the best there is in womanhood, the voice of inarticu- late millions of mothers through out the nation"
 q was unwilling to leave them to nurses. I feel the same rule holds good today. We can't live our children's lives, but we must ever be near to guide" she says.
 Mrs. Compton lives alone. save for house girl, in pleasant white frame home on quiet College street near the place of learning where her husband served until his death at 81.
 Touch of India
 It is like all old houses in old Ohio towns, its central place the "parlor." But her parlor has an exotic touch that few such have; an exquisitely carved lockwood table and fire screen to match, from her daughter in India: a box of rosewood, sandalwood and ivory; it- tie ebony elephants with toenails of ivory and plaster statuettes of Indian natives.
 It was shortly after the Napole- onic wars that Mrs. Compton's Mennonite ancestors settled in Butler County where she was born, in Woodsdale, Dec. 6, 1858. She went to school in Woodsdale where her teacher was none other than Elias Compton.
 In 1875 she went to Western Fe-

Lyons Fork Schoolhouse for the
ordinance of baptism in the after
noon. There, a great host Of peo-
pie, numbering around 1000,
gathered around the banks of the
little stream to witness the cere-
mony. Cars from distant states
were noted in the group that were
parked for quarter of mile
on either side of the road. Forty
one people, converts from revival
meetings on Caney Ridge and
Birchfeld, were baptised by Rev

Lane that afternoon. 1t took near
ly two hours to administer the
rites of baptism, and so dense was
the throng that many people
could not witness the ceremony.

Al Converts
Baptised In Lyons
Fork Sunday

Elders Fannon, Vanover, and
Lane, of the Free Will Baptist
Church, held services on Longs
Fork last Sunday in memory of
Mr.. and Mrs. Alex Hill, parents
of Floyd and John Wesley Hill.
More than 500 people were pres
ent. Neighbors of the departed
in that community testified to the
esteem in which had held Mr.. and
Mrs. Hill by turning out in mass
for the services.
The text developed successive
ly by Emory Vanover and Casper
Lane was from the Sixth Chapter
of Revelations: "He went forth
conquering and to conquer" The
speakers dwelt eloquently on the
conquering impulses of the Mes
siah, a conquering of sin, and
showed how the conquest had
been fulfilled in the lives of the
deceased for whom the services
were held for whom the services
spent their adult lives in Christian
service and bequeathed their i'm
pulses to their children.
After the services, neighbors
and visiting friends spread bas-
ket dinner on the ground and
spent the time in pleasant CONVEX
sation while they ate.

TT is the practice of most farmers to
i sell their perishable pre- &c to
commission merchants who, in turn,
ship it to distant cold storage plants.
Growers are forced to accept what
ever prices are offered, as it is impos-
sible for them to hold such products
for higher markets. However, many
progressive farmers throughout the
country-realizing that much larger
profits thereby are possible-are in
Sailing their own electricallypow-
cred cold storage rooms or buildings.
This is good common sense because
a privately-owned cold storage plant
has many advantages: There is less
shrinkage and spoilage, not only be-
cause temperature and moisture can
be accurately controlled but also
because a shorter time elapses be-
tween the pulling or picking of the
produce and it's placement in storage;
higher prices are obtained not only
because of superior quality but also
because products can be held for the
best marketing times; everything
considered, it is cheaper-where large
quantities of foodstuffs are concerned
than lockers in community stor-
age plant: and, where the farmer
slaughters his own hogs, cattle or
sheep-as is being done by an ever

quently, for some marketable sur
pluses as well. If such cooler is not
available, or if larger capacity is re-
quired, cold-storage cabinet can be
purchased ready made, built to order
at the factory or constructed on the
farm with the help of an experienced
carpenter. Naturally, large storage
rooms and buildings must be erected
on the farm, the help Of a mason as
well as a carpenter being recon-
mended.
Including the refrigerating unit and
cabinet or room, walk-in cold storage
will cost approximately $500 to $500
per cubic foot of space if built on the
farm and $500 to $500 if purchased
ready made or built to order. At three
cents per kw.-hr., the average power
cost throughout the year for such
units is about So 90 per month for each
100 square feet of outside area. How
ever, that may be considerably re-
duced by increasing the thickness of
the insulation and especially careful
management.
