We hear there is talk of introduc-
ing a bill to pay bounty on the
grey fox. We believe that it is the
only sure way of getting rid Of the
pests, and it would be O. k. with us
if they make this bill broad enough
to include the bean beetle.
Miss Mary Wickersham, a mem
ber of the Marseilles high school
faculty, spent over the week end
with relatives in McConnelsville and
here with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs

were born 40 years too soon to be
able to enjoy all these late improve

folks of today enjoy But again
when we look back to our boyhood
days when all young folks were full
of youthful life, health, and willing
to work hard in order to help make
a living for themselves and their
parents, and at the same time to en-
joy life to its fullest extent. you
who are older can recall the So

account of the mud roads, and how
we would gather up a crowd OF IS
five miles to attend literary and

week at the country school houses.
and also TO attend the big revival
meetings at the country churches
that would last some four to sir
weeks and the crowd would walk
and attend every night and did we
have fun? Oh yes and with a glad
heart and willing hands we would

ROMANCE AND ACTON FILL
 CAPITOL FILM
Pal 0'Brien and Constance Bennett Star in "Es-
 cape fo GIorY"

Bearing to memorable adventure the strangest company of sinners and saints that ever mocked dis aster, Escape To Glory" comes to- night to the Capitol Theatre screen to provide one of the most mem orable action dramas of all time. The new Columbia film, with Pat O'Brien and Constance Bennett starred, has been hailed for it's piston-plunging romance, bullet flashing action and unforgettably tender romance.
 Directed by John Brahm from a screenplay by P. J. Wolfson, "Es- cape To Glory" poses virtually unanswerable question to ten oddly assorted individuals: If every moment might be your last how would you live every precious sec ond?" And then, in those few des- perate moments which might well be their last, Brahms cameras re- cord the thrilling, awesome trans formation undergone by a soldier of fortune, girl who takes her minks and sables where she finds them, a District Attorney with ganglands finger on him, a killet who makes his exit in a blaze Of glory and depth bombs, a draft dodger who was born a coward and dies a hero, and a host of other amazingly human characters.
 Escape To Glory" includes in it's cast, in addition to the CO., stars, such players as John Halli- day, Melville Cooper, Alan Baxter and Marjorie Gateson.

LONDON-Women in England are streamlining their household
 establishments because it's hard to get servants and too difficult and too expensive to do things on lavish scale any more
 Thousands have closed down their large houses and have taken small, compact places where they can do their own housework or manage with a part time maid
 Where I live, in South Kensing- ton, there are blocks and blocks of stately old homes deserted by their owners. The few modern apartment houses in this district have waiting lists, and rents for these places are exorbitant.
 A friend who recently moved out of lovely big Georgian house with a beautiful garden into an efficiency flat explained that its just too expensive and too much trouble to keep up big place Anyway, my family is scat tered One daughter is driving an ambulance, the other is a nurse, and my two sons are in the army My husband spends most of his time out of Lo.don on war work Women Do Mems Work The servant problem has be- come more trying because mems jobs have been opened to women. Women now are bus conductors, truck drivers, railway porters, milk men" and "postmen" as well as working in the various womens services.
 Servants who had been accus- toned to working around the clock for four or five dollars a week and keep find the hours, pay and more independent position of these new jobs more attractive. There are many other household problems. Plumbers and electrici- ans have been drafted, and you have to wait weeks to get the smallest job done. Laundries col lect and deliver only once a week.
