Warner Bros. picture coming Fri
day to the Music Box theater.
They were a chastened lot when
the ordeal was over, Bobby Jor-
dan. whose hair for some time has
seemed to be a cross between an
English sheepdog's couture and a
Dutch bob, could only muster a
feeble "Aw, gwan," when asked
how many mattresses he thought
the shorn locks would fill.
It took considerable persuasive
eloquence to induce Leo Corey to
sacrifice his sideburns.
It's a good thing I'm married"
he moaned after a quick glance
into a mirror. mo girl would have

On the other hand. when nobody
was around, Billy Halop sheepish-

his shorn locks to send to friend.

Consensus Of opinion among the
Dead Enders is that there is a
diabolical plan afoot to completely
turn them into sissies. As a con-
sequence they have issued an ulti-
matum. They'll play any screen
role in the interests of their art
but in real life they have no in
tention of reforming one bit.
Fast and Furious" co-starring

"Gulliver" is the first picture Of

Walt Disney's Snow White" Of
two seasons ago and the first ever
to issue from Paramount's studios.
"Gulliver's Travels" comes from

of the same name which, since its
first appearance two centuries
ago, has been read by countless
millions of children and adults
alike and been translated into vir-

As translated onto celluloid by

All the others have had to submit to military harcuts and

Pointers on POinSettiaS,

Question: What shall be done with
the bare plants after Christmas?
Answer: Lay the plants away in
the cool part of the basement until
May and do not water them. Most
persons are reluctant to destroy them.
Somewhere they have read, or some
one has told them, how luxuriantly
they grow in California, Texas and
the other southern states-so why
not here? We agree with the garden
er that a poinsettia, represented by
a bare stick planted in the garden
in May, will grow faster than any
other house plant. That the north
ern gardener cannot bring them into
bloom is due to the change in weather
in September, which necessitates
moving the plants indoors. This is
the critical time in the life of the
poinsettias. Those that were taken
out of the pots in the spring and
planted in the flower border will
have grown so large that it is i'm
possible to lift them without disturb
| ing the roots. What happens? All
of the leaves will drop within a
week after lifting.
Question: If the plants should not
be taken out of the pots in the spring,
then what should be done?
Answer: In May cut the bare stems
back to six or eight inches above
the rim of the pot. Shake some of
the soil from the roots and re-pot
into six or seven-inch pot. See
that there is some broken crock over
the hole in the bottom of the pot
and use good garden soil. If the soil
is heavy add sand and thoroughly
mix it with the soil. After re-potting
the poinsettias, water them, then
plunge the pots outdoors in a sunny
position, in cinders or soil about three
inches deep. Within a few weeks
several shoots will appear, two or
three of which should be kept and
the others removed. These branches
will grow quite tall in one season and
must be tied to support, preferably
bamboo cane. It is not absolutely
necessary to start the plants in May.
They may be started in June and
even early July. Late planting will
prevent the poinsettiaS from growing
too tall, but weak plants that have
been kept dormant too long often
fail to grow. The pots should be
lifted occasionally. If this is not
done, a large root may grow through
the hole of the pot into the soil be-
meath, and the severing of this root
will cause all of the leaves to drop
when the plant is lifted in September.

known-or at least most talked about
-headliners is the Petunia Cream
Star. A dwarf white, it is a free
bloomer, has bluntly star shaped flow
ers with a cream star in the throat,
and OF uniform compact habit.
Petunia Glow, carried over from
1889, is carmine rose, free flower
ing and uniform.
A third, although not medal WIN
ner, is Double Victorious petunia,
which breeds perfectly true and pro-
duces no singles. This is heat re-
sistant and long blooming.
Rose Pink, spring Towering sweet
pea is one of three in this group
that show definite promise. This
took top honors, but Blue Spring
| Flowering and Lavender won awards
| also. All three are vigorous grow
ing, have larger flowers than the
early Spencers, yet blossom earlier
than the late varieties and Withstand
summer heat better. They should be
especially desirable for the Middle
West.
Ageratum Midget Blue is the new
est development in this popular plant.
1t grows three to four inches tall,
covered with true azure-blue flow
ers. Grows much more compactly
and uniformly than previous types.
Antirrhinum (snapdragon) Rosalie,
bronze winner, is intense rose-pink
with deeper center Plants are rust
resistant, tall and strong growing.
Snapdragon Goldenrod is also rust
resistant and blooms vigorously un-
der severe drouth conditions
Marigold Limelight is a chrysan-
themum type which came very even
in color and height. However, it is
very pale yellow and the color
may not appeal to many growers.
Scabiosa Heavenly Blue, which won
bronze medal, grows about 18 inches
in height, has a profusion of azure
blue flowers which are double and
very high crowned.
These are just small part of the
many seed novelties recently an
nounced There are dozens of others
which are not included in medal
winners, but which are too inter-
esting for the average gardener to
ignore entirely.
Of these, the lowly zinnia stands
out spectacularly in the Super Crown
O'Gold pastel. The colors are lovely
and varied and each petal is two
toned, giving the flowers a glow.
Zinnia Linoaris is good bedding and
border plant, but not good for cut
ting as it willis quickly The flow
ers are small, but bloom very freely
and are brilliant orange.
There is, too, the Indian spring
annual hollyhock of which we heard
a great deal last year. They grow
four to five feet tall and flower with
in five months after sowing.
And so-the parade goes on! Prob
ably the best way to 60 about pick
| ing out the newest ones you would
| like to try is to corral all the seed
catalogs, garden magazines and ad-
vertisements you can lay your hands
on-then close your eyes and choose!
Decide now to experiment with a
few of these All-American winners
in your own garden this year.

b. b. Team Stages Thrill Night.

The Askov high school basketball
team had the thrill Tuesday evening
of trailing its opponents-North
Branch-during the first quarter of
the game. After that the local boys
put on their stuff" and when the
final gong sounded the score was 80
for Askov and 20 for North Branch.
1t was likely the fastest and hardest
fought game that Askov has had here
this season. Friday evening they
quite easily defeated the boys from
Moose Lake. Their next game is at
Pine City tomorrow (Friday) eve
ming. They hope there will be good
delegation of fans who will attend
this game and help cheer them on
to another victory; so far they have
won all their games.

"AbsOlutely Right"

absolutely Right"
A few weeks back the United States
government protested to that of Great
Britain against delay, censorship and
confscation of mail on the way from
America to Europe. London now has
replied that it is absolutely right
in insisting on the right to search the
mails for possible information to the
enemy" or contraband, and now this
policy affects not only mail in tram
sit by steamers, but also that which
is sent by airplanes from Baltimore
to Lisbon by way of Bermuda, the
latter being a British colony where
mail has been stopped this week.
In Washington it is planned to have
the so-called air-mail clippers omit
Bermuda as port of call on their
