C0MEDY-MYSTERY COMES TO LOCAL
 CAPITOL SUNDAY
Loretta Young and Brian Aherne Seen in Green
 wilh Village Thriller

Something new in laughter is assured Capitol Theatre audiences when Columbias merry, mirth- filled murder mystery, "A Night to Remember" opens on Sunday. Loretta Young and Brian Aherne are co-starred in the gay new comedy which recounts their giddy goings-on in Greenwich. Village where, between kisses, they hunt killersl
 Loretta and Aherne are seen in "A Night to Remember" as a young married couple who move to basement apartment on the appropriately-named Gay Street, in Greenwich Village, that world-fa- nous haunt of delightful people. As Jeff and Nancy Troy, seeking "at- mosphere" for Jeff's latest novel the co-stars find it-in their new home, a basement apartment which once was a Speakeasy; and in their own backyard, Wnlch one morning harbors a corpse!
 The questions-and the answers are said by Hollywood to provide a motion picture which is both startling and gay, an adventure worth sharing and worth enjoying. The co-stars prove ideal foils for each others antic and romantic activities and wise-cracks.
 Heading the important featured cast are Jeff Donnell and William Wright, as neighbors and friends of the Troys; Sidney Toler, as the de- tective on the case, and Gale Sondergaard who figures promin- ently as, suspect.

 Small Home Life
By ROBBIN COONS

HOLLYWOOD-In town that's full of beefs, soul bruises, and broken hearts-worn on sleeves it's a pleasure to report today on a star who comes out in meeting and says he's the happiest actor in Hollywood. He's through living like a millionaire.
 His name is Eddie Bracken He's the young chap with the boyish, open face. He's the fellow who al- ways looks as if he's been scrubbed and dressed up by his mamma who has just forgiven him for stealing the jam, a crime he will never com init again, so help him Hannah! He's the comic.
 Eddie's current joy springs partly from the script which Preston Stur- ges wrote for him. In Hail the Conquering Hero" Eddie's role is the biggest Sturges has ever writ ten for a single star.
 But that's not the main reason. It's the way he lives. He put in a year living like millionaire-or a movie star-and then dropped back to plain, everyday living, just the way he'd promised himself he would
 I'd never really had a chance to live in a fancy style" he grins. My wife and I had lived in apartments near Broadway and spent months living out of trunk on tour. Sc when Hollywood made me an offer in 1940, saw a chance to live like a king for year, as I'd always had a yen to do."

Facts For Farmers

For the benefit of farmers who may be tempted
by the careless utterances of politicians and farm lead
ers, we call attention to the following facts:
Wheat, which sold for $2.51 a bushel in 1919,
dropped to $1.19 in 1920 and went to 42c bushel
in 1882.
Corn, which sold for SLIT bushel in 1919,
dropped to Gle in 1920 and to 39c in 1882
Cotton sold for 374 cents pound in 1920, but
for SO cents pound in 1921 and So cents pound
in 1892
The lesson is that inflatonary prices are inevitably
followed by defationary prices.
Hundreds of farmers in this county learned this
in the decade which followed 1920 It is unnecessary
for them to have the same experience but they must
act intelligently in order to avoid initiation.

Men, Not Forts, Win Wars

We read much about Hitler's Fortress Europe
and there Americans about ready to believe
that the Germans have established an impeEetrabe
zone Of Notifications that will bar any invasion of
Germany.
These people overlook the lesson of the Magnot
Line the great fortified wall that France erected to
prevent German soldiers from invading the Republic.
The Notifications, however, useless because
the morale of the Army High Command in France
deterorated and it is just possible that, in time, the
morale of German soldiers will do the same.
No country can be defended by guns and forts
unless there intelligent, trained men, with fighting
courage, to man them The minute the defending
troops lose hope the strength of their Positions dis
appear. It will be with the German Army before
the ends.

We plan b. ely for the next dec

matter of fact it can only come to
pass "if the Lord will (read James
5:13-lD.
Next, it was a limited provision
enough for the day and no more. ex-
cept for q double portion on the
sixth day. and none at all on the
Sabbath. These provisions were
made clear to Israel, and yet there
we're those who attempted to lay up
for the morrow. and some even
went out to seek mama on the Sab
bath day.
We marvel at their stubborn OBJ
tuseness, but are we not often just
like them. Some there are who are
always expecting that the laws Of
both God and man should be set
aside for them, but they come to
grief.
Finally, it called for diligence and
action on their part. They had to
be out early each day texcept the
Sabbath to gather it. Gods mer-
cies are for those who are willing
to obey Him. He gives to those
who receive by active faith.

must have water. Needy, yes, con-

God always provides. There is q
rock in the wilderness. But what
pleasure does a murmuring people
find in a rock when they famish for
water? 1t is Gods delightful custom
to meet our needs in unexpected
ways and by means which we do
not understand. Even our physical
necessities come from unthought of
sources.
III. Christ, the Bread and Water
of Life.
Our lesson does not give the New
Testament application of Israe's ex-
periences, but let us not miss that
blessed spiritual truth.
In John 6:3l-33, Christ is declared
to be the true bread from heaven, of

Only God can provide the necessi-
ties Of life. Rationing has taught US
that lesson anew if we have been at
all thoughtful about it. The plan is
one Of sharing. Sharing what? The
food and other provisions which
come to us from Gods hand. I'm
less our crops are good there win
be less to share. Only God can help
US.
This was the lesson Israel learned
in the wilderness. To reach the
goal to which God was leading them
they must pass through the wilder
ness. Not only were there many
weary miles to travel, but there
were privations to be borne. Life
is like that.
Now they cried for food. Note how
elemental are mans needs in the
final analysis-bread and water. The
very things we take almost for
granted as we concern ourselves
with LIES weighty interests and pro-
found problems become, if lacking.
the only things that have any real
meaning. And who is it that can
provide them? No one but God Him.

1. Bread from Heaven (Exod. Is:
11-1S).
Israels longing for meat was met
by the miraculous coming Of guam
titles Of quail ". 49,. But that was
not the food to sustain them day
after day. For this they needed
bread, and it came from heaven,
every day until they entered the
promised land Josh. SID.
Observe four things about the
mama.
First, It was q divine provision.
There are responsibilities in life
which we may bear-and must bear
but in the ultimate meeting Of our
real needs we must look to God.
Secondly, 1t was daily provision.
What forehanded folk many Of us
are, and no doubt rightly so. for
God puts no premium on IMPROVE
dence. But once again we must
recognize, as did Israel in receiv-
ing the daily mama in the wilder
ness. that ours is indeed a rnoment
by NOM tence.
