BY NEA Service
ScottSbluff, Neb., Oct. 23-Out of
the middle west, which gave the
nation biscuit passing Gov. w. Lee
ODaniel of Texas, comes another
young man who is mixing business
with politics in his campaign.
He is Terrible Terry" Carpenter,
chair store magnate who is running
for the governorship of Nebraska
on the Democratic ticket.
He has planked his platform with
q $50 monthly old age pension to be
financed by a state liquor mon
opoly and is still using the radio
and advertising promotion tech
nique which carried him through
the primary.
Carpenters strategy has been to
popularize his name so it will prove
magnetic on store front or on
ballot. In giant black-and- white let
tiers atop his filling stations. the
"Terry Carpenter" sign is visible
for q quarter of mile away A
variety of his store products always
bear the identifying label.
Carpenter acquired only a grade
school education but he has a knack
for practical psychology. He prac-
tices the power of suggestion"
theory in his three special -four
brands-'Terry Carpenter Congress
man." Terry Carpenter Senator"
and Terry Carpenter Governor"
Daily radio programs echo the
familiar name again and again. In
his speeches, he never employs the
personal pronoun Il" but always re-
fers to himself as Terry Carpen-
ter"
If he doesn't happen to get
elected the people still buy more
and more of his gasoline and milk,
his groceries and baby chicks.
FROM CUT-RATES
TO POLITICS
Terry Carpenters rise to success
would rival Wendell WILKES.
At 30, he opened his first filling
station here, a one-pump place. He
had no family financial backing
because his parents had just gone
broEe in the same kind of business.
Tsrry plunged in with price-cut-
ting tactics and in decade has
built far-f1urg operations reaching
into thre states and crossing two
million dollars annually.
His filling station in Denver, SELL
ing 1000 gallons of gasoline daily, is
said to be the largest in the coun-
try. In ''Terrytown," which he
opened for the squatters, he has
a farmers creamery, huge grocery
store, meat market, flower shop, Ii
quor store, pop bottling works, res
taurant, and chickery.. To the
south is his gasoline refinery and
cracking plant.
Terry,s business almost went I'M
der before it got a start. In his
price cutting battle the opposition
ganged up and he was forced to
close doors until sympathetic Gus
toners came to the rescue with an
$500 loan
He ultimately repaid every cent
but realized in his line he would
have to be established as the poor
mans friend" He conceived the
Terrible Terry" as a cut-rate ham
die, terrible. to competitors but the
consumers saviour.
To keep his name before the pub

STATE

This afternoon the Warner Bros.
State theater presented film that
will truly make screen history. 1t is
a film biography of the great Notre
Dame football coach entitled 'Knute
Rockne-AIl American" with Pat
OBrien in the title role assisted by
Gale Page, Donald Crisp and Ron
aid Reagan.
,OBrien turns in his greatest per-
Torrance as the immortal "Rock"
and it is said that his appearance
and mannerisms are so like the
gridiron wizard that Rockne's most
intimate friends are surprised at the
close similarity.
"Knute Rockne-All American"
tells the almost legendary story Of
his life. His power, his wise phil
osophy, the men and teams he built,
and the influence he had, and still
has, on the people of America, are
all brought out in this swiftly paced
exciting motion picture.
Gale Page plays the role of Mrs.
Rockne, who was the inspiration for

in what has been hailed as the fin
est role of his career, plays the part

STRAND

Jimmie Stewart and RoSalind
Russell are hitting the comedy high
spots in the Strands new laugh hit,
which ironically enough is titled
mo Time for Comedy" The film
opened a four day engagement at
that popular theater this afternoon.
If you liked what Jimmie did in
Washington. you'll be crazy about
what he does on Broadway, and If
you liked what Rosalind did to
1.-THE Women" just wait till you see
what she does to- the men.
mo Time for Comedy is adapted
from the play which had long
and successful record as Broad
way stage hit. In bringing it to the
screen, Warner Bros. have kept all
the gayety and sparkle of the orig
NAL story of Broadway's theatrica.
smart set, while giving it the wider
freedom of scope and action which
the cinematic medium demands.
There are probably no other two
stars who could fit SO slightly into
the two principal roles as Stewart
and Miss Russell, and their team
work makes history. AS the cub re-
porter from the sticks who sudden
ly finds himself and his. plays a
huge success on Broadway, Stewart
is completely believable and believ-
ably bewildered. Miss RusselrS .suaye
assurance in the role of his actress
wife, who protects him from the
Broadway wolves and the Park ave-
nue. blondes, is one Of the years
standout performances.
Other funsters in the. cast in
clude Genevieve Tobin, Charlie Rug
giles, Allyn Joslyn, Clarence Kolb
and Louise Beavers.
All in all "No Time for Comedy"
is the number one hit on your
must" list, SO be sure to see it at
the Strand before the closing per-
formances Saturday evening.

Bill Garrigus Lloyd Fowler
and Oliver Gilbert have rested
from their labors on draft regis
tration and are now sitting back
waiting for election. When the
draft registry cards left our town
for Headquarters, they were tied
and sealed like an express money
package. Our people took no
chance of any loss.
The recruits-to be are reading
the newspapers more faithfully
than ever before. They don't
want to miss their chance to make
the world safe for democracy.
Draft buttons are in evidence and
a few curious citizens have but
tom hOled young men and asked to
see the Identification cards.
Perhaps the best sign of renew
ed patriotism was the turnout at
the v. F. w. show last Saturday
evening. Strangers arrived from
distant townships, local citizens
who had not attended veterans
affair in years came over, ladies'
i'll evening clothes rubbed elbows
with country lads fresh from high
pastures. The absenteeS were
conspicuous by their very absence
and, if rumor is correct, were
largely from families who also
: failed to report for duty in 1917.
It's a healthy sign to note so
many people taking an interest IN
the affairs of men concerned with
national defense. 1t shows how
weII-infcrmed John @. Public has
been, and how he watches the
new trend. Before long, the uni
form will again be in style, and
even weaklingS will wear the ma
tiOnal cOlOrs in their button-hOle.
A lad we know attended a So
ciety wedding in a field uniform
and the civilians clad in evening
clothes forgot to Shun him. AT
the close of festivities, thought
full person remarked; Il was
mighty proud of Jack. He was

floor"
Johnny LaChance, hustler and
