Another Great Comedy
For Your Enjoyment

Well, Hollywood has now accom-
plished the ultimate in casting.
James Stewart and Hedy Lamar
are co-starred in one of the fastest
moving comedv-dramas of the year,
Come Live With Me-" directed by
Clarence Brown, and showing at
the Kootenai Theatre Sunday and
Monday. You'll never forget Stew
art in his role as a struggling young
author who gets rejection slips un-
til he writes story of his own,
true-life experiences. And you'll
love Hedy Lamar as puzzled and
beautiful Austrian refugee who
meets Stewart by chance, and mar
ries him the next day in order to
get quota number and thus avoid
deportation to her native Austria.
You'll all agree that there has
never been a happier screen COM
bination than the shy Mr.. Stewart
and the glamorous Miss Lamar in
roles made to order for their tai
ents. In support of these two favo-
rites are Ian Hunter, Verree Teas
dale, Donald Meek, Ann Codee,
King Baggot, and Americas grand
mother. eighty-year-old Adeline de
Walt Reynolds, who makes her
screen debut as Stewards grandma.
Add to such cast the superb di-
rection of Clarence Brown and
you'll have some idea of the treat
in store for you when you take my
tip and put Come Live With Me-
on your must see" list.

DEAR DEALER

Keep your temper, Gentle Sir
Writes the manufacturer
Though your goods are overdue
For month or maybe two,
We can't help it. Please don't swear
Labor's scarce and metals rare,
Can't get steel, can't get dies;
These are facts-we tell no lies.
Harry's drafted, SO is Bill
All our work is now uphill,
So your order we're afraid
May be still bit delayed.
Still you'll get it, don't be vexed
Maybe this month, maybe next.
Keep on hoping, don't say die
Well fill your order bye and bye.

Republican Chuirmunship

Under call Of Representative Jo-
seph w. Martin, jr., the Republican
National Committee will meet in
Washington on March "a. Mr.. Mar
tin has announced that he will pre-
sent his resignation at that time as
chairman. Leader of the House mi
nority during a period of national
emergency, he faces exacting re-
SponSibilities which make a full de-
mand on his time and energies His
desire to be relieved of the chair
manship will, therefore, readily be
understood.
In directing the national organiza-
ton in the 1910 campaign Mr.. Martin
rendered notable service to his party.
Though they failed to elect their
standard bearer, Wendell L. Willkie,
the Republicans won a larger popu-
lar vote than in any previous presi-
Dental election, and made a far bet
ter showing than in 1886 and 1882.
AS chairman Mr.. Martin contributed
much to the comparative success Of
the Republican effort.
The national committee, in picking
a successor to Mr.. Martin, should not
be governed by narrow partisan con-
siderations. The Republican party, in
the long run, would be the loser if the
announcement Of Mr.. Martins inten-
ton to relinquish the Craftsmanship
precipitates a contest between Re-
publicans supporting and those who
oppose the Presidents aid-to-Brit-
ain program 1t would be no less
unfortunate If free-for-all develops
between factions supporting possible
candidates for President in 1914.
The need for national unity at this
time demands that partisanship, 50
far as possible, be eliminated from
the Nations affairs. It Is neverthe-
less important for the country that
the Republicans, as the minority
party, retain an efficient organiza-
tion, capable, on occasion, of mo-
bilizing minority opinion. To main
tain such an organization in full
vigor should be the job of the new
Republican chairman.
