Warsaw folks are petitioning tor a reduction of light, water and gas rates but if they don't get any farther than some other cities they won't be very happy. Here where • the city owns her own light and .' water plants, the city dads beat us to it by reducing rates as rapidly . and as much as they can. That's the difference. I I The International Harvester Com--1 pany is accepting wheat at seventyI i five cents a bushel, December de- ' livery, as half payment on such I machinery as is used in harvesting the golden grain. That looks rather decent and may encourage some business. For years the farmers have always given up trying to buy new machinery because of the high cost in comparison with prices re- ’ ceived for their goods. This may make it possible for many to purchase the things needed for next years crop and will probably be largely used in the western states where wheat is really a big crop. The interstate commerce commission on July 10 granted authority to the postmaster general to increase the weight and bulk limits of parcel post packages. Fourth class mail hereafter may be 100 inches in length and girth combined. instead of the former 84 inches per package, and May weigh as high as 70 pounds instead of 50 pounds. Postmaster General Brown believes this change will increase postal revenues $5,000,000 a year and will help wipe out the deficit chronically incurred in handling that class of mail. The outlook is not so cheerful for express companies, which protest to the interstate commerce commission that the higher parcel post limit will take away considerable business from them. The postoffice department is asking for authority for a genera! increase in postal rates. If it gets that, the result may not be so good as is hoped, though it may lessen a little the express companies’ gloom. o Modern Etiquette | By ROBERTA LEE ♦ (U.PJ ♦ Q.

not to be taken too seriously. For some time now, William Haines has been set to- do “Pig-Boats,” a film glorifying the war-t i m e s u b-c h a s e rs. But the latest report hands the part to Robert Montgomery. F u r - thermore the picture will be a special.

Montgomery already is scheduled to do “Family Affair,” a story dealing with the antagonism of two brothers. M.-G.-M. makes a departure in this picture by allowing the star to die at the finish. My information is Jack Conway will direct both “Family Affair” and “Pig-Boats.” CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT. A certain Hollywood producer always has the same man write his statements for the press. Recently he called in the man and gave him ideas for a story, Something important came up, however, and the j publicity man turned over the task to an assistant.

A friend of Gary Cooper’s tells me an interesting story about the star. Back in his Grinnell College days Gary had ambitions to belong to the Dramatic Club. But to do this called for a recitation of some sort. Gary chose a cowboy poem and learned it with gestures. When the time came, however, he couldn’t remember a word. In a panic, he started the ballad of the well known Dan McGrew. After the first verse his treacherous memory failed again. His back against the wall, Gary went right into Kipling’s “Tommy Atkins.” But this was too much. The dramatic society turned him down. There’s a sequel. Since his fame in the movies, they’ve approached him to become an honorary member. But Gary is human. He says no.

SLUMP SPURS IDLE TO SEEK NEVADA’S GOLD Important Strikes Made In Abandoned Workings Os State By Earl I. Leif United Press Staff Correspondent Reno, Nev., —(UP) —The business depression and the low price of silver have stimulated the gold mining industry in Nevada, with new important discoveries of highgrade and shipping ore being made in scattered sections. Many of the famous old silver camps, such a Virginia City, Tonopah ami Goldfield, have responded to the world wide cry for gold and mine operators are shipping the yellow metal from camps formerly thought to be only silver producers. Unemployed peisons have taken to the Nevada wastelands, some with a small grubstake and visions of a trike, others merely in he hope of finding steady employment at a daily wage. Latest Strike " The latest strike to capture the Imagination is located 63 miles from Reno at Fireball camp in Pershing County, wheie ore samples assayed 257 ounces of gold and 123 ounces of silver per ton. Conservation engineers who visited the Fireball returned with glowing reports. The greatest gold excitement of the year occurred in February when two old desert men, Charley and Jim Scossa, discovered high grade * ore assaying as high as $45,000 per ton, in the old Rabbit Hole district 50 miles above Lovelock. This discovery paused a leal gold rush and the camp now has grown into a permanent town. Mining men of Tonopah are speaking in whispers of some great gold discovery which has been made in that vicinity. I High Grade Veins High grade veins in an old abandoned mine with ore assaying into the thousands have been discovered during the past month in that fat mous old mining camp, Virginia City—which once poured $70,000,000 of silver into the national treasury t when it was needed most by the Un ion during the Civil WarNumerous good gold discoveries have been made in Elko and Humboldt counties which give promise of production so ryears to come, I Southern California capitalists are 1 quietly investing huge sums in de- > velopment work there. Even the old “ghost town" of . Gilbert has had a resurrection and a small army of leasers are working there in old mines. Round Mountain continues to be the most i prosperous camp with 200 men emi ployed at Gold Hill and Sunnyside. I . o C hina Government Urges Use of Mother Tongue — Nanking. —(UP)—The executive branch of the national government has issued an order forbidding the indiscriminate and unnecessary use of foreign language in China." The order followed a recommenda tion from the Kuomintang The order points out that Soviet Russia and Italy have imposed rigid restrictions upon the use of foreign i languages, and that all western nations encourage universal use of their mother tongue. But in China intellectuals have prided themselves non using foreign languages. Sucti persons are advised hereafter to ,use only Chinese except' where | foreign languages are absolutely I necessary. Indiana Engineer Sees Success For 5-Year Plan Newcastle, Ind., —(UP)—A simple answer as to why the five-year pian will suceed in Russian is given by Charles Butterworth, home here on a vacation after more than a yeai in the Soviet country, where he was employed as an engineer. "The plan will succeed," Butterworth said, “because anything that they have at the end of five years, or any given period will be just that much more than they started within fact, he added, “four or five consecutive five-year plans should succeed there.” Butterworth, who worked in a large tractor manufacturing plant, said he planned to return to Russia late in July. — o — Prison Keepers Attend School to Outsmart Crook Auburn, N.
