Luverne-Mrs. Frances Beers,
sc, formerly of Luverne, will vouch
for the fact that fate carries an
unusual assortment of tricks in it's
bag and has no respect as to time
or place when it puts them on dis
play. Mrs. Beers in company with
her daughter, Mrs. j. S. Frink,

SEA ISLAND LADY
By GriswOld
BIZ Bernice FinneSan

This is the story of New Eng
land girl-Emily Fenwick-who
went South at the end of the Civil
War as the very young wife of a
carpetbagger, not knowing what
destiny was to hold her ever there
for the endurance of rich drama
tic life. It is also the story of
how she met young Union army
officer, of her love for him, and
Of the incident which changes the
whole course of her career; Of how
she makes her life in South Caro-
lima and of South Carolina, Of the
Beaufort family she marries into,
and Of six tumultous decades of
war, reconstruction, revival, and
finally the transition to modern
times.
The setting is for the most part
the town of Beaufort and sea is
lands nearby. Though primarily
the story of a woman-one of the
memorable figures to step from the
pages of a novel in our time-it
is also an enchanting picture of
land new to fiction: the sea-
island world of the Carolina Low
Country, of marsh sweep and
dreaming tidewater, fields under
burning sun, and woods fragrant
and mysterious.
THIS SIDE OF GLORY
BY Bristow
Eleanor Upjohn was the beauti-
full, strong daughter of man who
raised himself from poor white
trash to a position of wealth and
Importance in Louisiana. All her
background and standards were in
conflict, with the gentle aristocra-
tic tradition from which her hus-
band came, for he was Hester
Larne of Ardeith Plantation, which
spraweled it's acres Of cotton for
miles along the Mississippi.
These two people who loved each
other so desperately, carried on
the war of standards which their
fathers had bequeathed upon them.
When Ardeith, because Of Kes-
tiers laZiness and carelessness, was
almost lost to the banks, Eleanor
saved 1t by hard, uncompromising
work, and turned 1t into a shining
efficiency. She knew how to wrest
profit from a broken-down plan
tation. But she knew nothing Of
how to soothe a mans pride and
give him faith in himself. But Isa-

bel Valcour, "a piece of mistletoe
who needed a man to cling to"
knew how, and she made Eleanor
fight as hard to hold the love of
her husband as she had to restore
the plantation.
"This Side of Glory" is the story
of the battle between the twentieth
century South and old plantation
families. More, it is the love story
of a beautiful woman who strug-
gled with herself and her pride to
find love which was lasting and
real.
THEIR OWN COUNTRY
BY Hobart
Alice Hobart brings Hester and
Stephen Chase, that sensitive in
domitable pair of "Oil for the
Lamps of China" back to their own
country and sets them down in the
midst of its teeming uncertainty.
Living again in the newest civil
izatons, they are often surprising
ly reminded of conditions in the
oldest. Are East and West so div
ergent after all? America has felt
splendidly isolated in the past, has
been without fear.

Tyrone Power had a role like that
of Johnny Apollo" in the Goth
Century-Fox drama of that title
which co-stars him with Dorothy
Lamour at the Main Street Thea
ire on Sunday and Monday.
Johnny Apollo" is the alias of
a young college man, bankers
son, who turns mobster when the
father he idolized is sent to prison
and his wealthy friends turn
against him.
Dorothy Lamour is more alluring
than ever as Lucky" Dubarry, the
hard-boiled night club entertainer
who understands and loves the boy,
no matter what he does.
Production Chief Daryl F. Zan-
uck carefully selected the imposing
supporting cast. Edward Arnold is
seen as the banker father; Lloyd
Nolan plays Mickey Dwyer, the
gangster whose mob Johnny Apollo
joins. Charley Grapewin is cast as
q IipPiihS Ch-JuuSc IuIucu ulucI-
world lawyer, and Lionel Atwill is
seen as the bankers lawyer, to
whom Johnny appeals in vain for
aid for his father.
Johnny Apollo" is climaxed by
one of the most thrilling jailbreaks
ever screened, featuring one of the
most amazing hand-to-hand battles
between Tyrone Power and Lloyd
Nolan-in film history.
Highlighting the story are two
special new song hits, sung by
Dorothy Lamour, Dancing For
Nickels and Dimes" by Lionel New
man and Frank Loesser, and This
is the Beginning of the End" by
Mack Gordon.
The screen play was prepared by
Philip Dunno and Rowland Brown
from an original story by Samuel

BY LYLE SPENCER
How the Indians Learned
to Scalp
q Western Newspaper Union.

a CCORDING to the blood-and-
4 \ thunder dime novels we used
to read as children, the American
Indians were murderous savages
who always scalped the white men
they killed. According to reliable
historians, however, taking scalps
was unknown among the Indians
before the coming Of white men.
The practice rose first among the
early settlers who were often paid
bounty for killing Indians just as
some states now pay bountieS for
killing destructive animals. The
scalp was usually presented as
proof that an Indian had really
been killed. In 1928, Massachu-
sets paid 100 pounds for every
Indian scalp presented. Forty years
later, it offered 40 pounds for the
scalps of male Indians over twelve
years of age, and half that for
scalps of women and young chill
dren.
Most of the great Indian fighters
like Daniel Boone and George
Rogers Clark regularly scalped the
Indians they killed, and the savages
soon learned to retaliate in kind.
AS late as 1887, the Mexican state
of Chihuahua offered $500 apiece
for each Apache scalp.
The ordinary scalp, taken by both
Indians and whites, was circular
piece from the crown of the head.
Sometimes whites sliced off larger
pieces and then cut them up to
make it appear that they had killed
more than one Indian, but savages
generally prevented this by shaw
ing off all their hair except small
tuft on top known a. the scalp
lock. Contrary to popular opinion,
scalping was not always fatal. In
dams were often SO eager to get
their scalps and make a getaway
that they scalped people without
killing them.
