hard luck recently. On Monday of
last week he lost a COW that he had
refused only few days since to sell

80 and 81 Growing Palms." three
act comedy of adolescence, by Aura
mia Rouverol and produced by spe-
cial arrangement with Samuel

Growing Pains" is a story of the
dilemma of the McIntyres, who see
their boy and girl tossed in the cat
aracts of adolescence and can help
little further than give directions for
the stormy course from a distance
directions that youth does not care
to accept.
These two kids, George and Terry,
go through their throes in company
with the neighborhood kids. Many
things happen to all of them, but the
end is bright and promising.
None of us escapes the joys and
sorrows of adolescence and few OF

when these experiences are present.

you will relive many of the expert
ences of your own youth while
watching this play. Laughter piles
upon laughter as the play progress

with the laughter, making the pic
ture complete.
The New York World-Telegram
says: 1.-The author lavishes tender
ness upon the outgr0wn tots and is

her kindly sense OF humor is her
source. Since It is a
comedy of youth, SNUG adults may
peek In on the painful process OF
growing UP, and laugh"

u. OF D. STUDENTS GET
PRACTICE TEACHING AC.
lcOntInuea IrOm Flrst r,sel

In the past, the amount of prac-
tice teaching received by students
preparing to teach agriculture was
considerably less than at present
due to the fact that the students
couldn't leave the campus for a pro-
longed period of time. But since the
revised curriculum has taken effect,
the students may now leave college
for a month and make up their stu
dies after they return.
1t is hoped that this experience
will eliminate trial-and-error meth
ods of teaching when these students
are employed by local boards OF ed
ucation.

HOIST DELAYED

The state department of public
service has suspended and ordered
hearings upon the proposed state
wide telephone rate increases,
which were filed with the depart
ment by Pacific Telephone e. Tele-
graph Co. May 10.

The suspension proceedings will
be consolidated with similar &C

gin In a month, with sessions
