J Governor Leslie is giving due: [ consideration to the petitions be-I ’ ing filed with him. asking a special J session of the legislature to talk , over tax problems but so far hasn't ‘ changed his mind that this would j ! mean the expenditure of a hundred ! thousand dollars for which the ■ people would get little if any thing.

Its a big show and a good one and an important event. The program is of interest to those who raise corn and also to those who don't for most of us profit by doing business with those who do. Visit, tiie show in the court house corridors and take a part in this big annual event. Much as we want to see the democrats win next year we hope their representatives in congress wiH-not do any thii ? that will in any way interfere with plans to drive away depression. After all it is important to democrats and republicans alike that this nation prospers and if congress can help that along, here’s hoping they do their best and play politics after ward.

J. I. Farley of Auburn has announced his candidacy for the democratic nomination for congress in the fourth district, of which Adams county is now a part. Mr. Farley is a spendid gentleman who ’! will command a large vote. We do 1 j not know who the other candidates I will be or whether there will be ’ any so it is a little early to say ) much except that this is an excel- > | lent start. -==-= > • According to press stories from ', Washington. President Hoover is ’ considering a trip to Europe to talk ‘ over the debt reparation and dis i armament ideas. Not so long ago Mr. Wilson, then President of the United States broke all rules and went to Europe to attend the great peace conference. It was the poorest political move of his career. Had he sent a non political committee he might have had a chance to put over his idea and we doubt if tiie people would take kindly to the President hobnobbing over j there now any more than they did I then. The democrats and independents ' have no desire to pursue the Wat- | son-Davis sugar stock transaction ' any further it seems. Together they turned up the fact that the | floor leader from the banks of the l Wabash and the former Pennsylvania iron puddler were novel finanI • j tiers. The two senators bought ! stock without money on their personal. unsecured, non-interest-bear-i ing notes, although Davis did buy some additional stock for each. After having bared this matter to pubj lie scrutiny the anti-administration group walked off and left it. There I were several good reasons why they did. Concerning Watson, they said: We will let the voters of Indiana : take care of that next November.” Os Davis, they said he had lost $94,000 of his own money anyway, so he probably had been pursued . enough. The President’s message to congress did not contain any thing very startling. Under ordinary con- '• diMDns it would be considered a ! very excellent paper but just now when things are topsy-turvy the I I country may expect something | more definite. He recommends his ' I house building plan which is good. except the fellow who takes ad-• ■ vantage of it must provide one-1 ■ fourth of the money in cash and I ; show a few things that may pre-I ‘ j vent most of those so desiring to | . get themselves and families under : a new roof. Discussing the tariff the President advises "no monkey-’ ’ | ing” with the present wall that has I made every nation in the world I j mad at us and thinks it can be ■; remedied by occasionally changing j 1 j the schedules. So far that hasn’t been successful and we haven’t j much hopes for it but the seventyi second will not change it so thats ‘ I that. J , i Modern Etiquette I I —by— ROBERTA LEE * 0 1 I Q.

By HARRISON CARROLL. Copyright. IS3I. Printer Fyndicas» Um-. . HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 00.—“ On , : every side you hear praise of ! ! Jackie Cooper for his performances 1 !

in ‘Skippv’ and in ‘The Champ ’ ' But where will he be five years I from now?” This is a query addressed,, to me by a New York motion picture fan. Naturally, I can’t give the answer, for who can predict the fate of a child actor. It is pos- ' sible, however, to examine the records of other youthful stars.

i - 1 11 1 Jackie t Cooper. ( <

One who has come back and ] made a name for herself is Madge , Evans. In the old days, Madge ; ] ■eted for the World Film Co. Xow , she is under contract to Metro- ] Goldwyn-Mayer and, if you please, | ( is one of the most charming lead- | ] ing women on the screen. Ben Alexander is working again i in juvenile roles ("Al! Quiet on ■ the Western Front" and “Are These Our Children?”) Anita , Louise bridged the gap between ' child actress and ingenue. Jackie, Coogan, with one more to do at Paramount, has accomplished the unusual feat of enjoying two' vogues as a child performer. Mary Kornman, of Hal Roach's l ‘‘Our Gang," is going to school, j but works occasionally in the studios. Farina, a colleague, is in vaudeville. So are Jane and Katherine Lee, who used to work for Fox. Virginia Lee Corbin is mar- : ried and. I believe, is in Europe I now. • A refe.Tnce to the casting directories discloses that Weslay Barry still is available, though you seldom het.- of him in a picture. As for baby Marie Osborne and baby Peggy Montgomery, they seem to have dropped out of sight completely. Yon may argue, and I am of the •ame mind, that Jackie Cooper is a much finer actor than any of these oth'r child stars. Therefore, he I may survive: the awkward age and go right cn to juvenile roles. In ! any event, the boy who played the I “Champ’s” Kid should not fade pennaner.i’y from the screen horiicn. IT’S STILL GOOD. Bert Wheeler's famous gag was revived the other day by Robert Montgomery and had the actors rocking with laughter. It was ■ scene in “Courage.” Montgomery and Madge Evans were sitting in a drab little room, and he was confessing to being a failure One by one they recited their tribulations. Suddenly, a light went over with a loud crash. “Yes,” sighed Montgomery, “and even the mice are after us.” • I ib 1, ■■■■ LATEST GOSSIP. Edmund Goulding and his bride j

Sculptress Jean Wildenrath has an idea that will make money for her. She is doing miniature busts of the stars, which later will be reproduced in large numbers and sold to theatres for souvenirs. The images are only four inches in height. So far 20 havd been completed. According to the sculptress, George Arliss has been her easiest subject to date ami Ann Harding her most difficult. She spent two weeks on the tiny image of the Pathe star. In case you don’t identify Miss Wildenrath. she and Sally James Farnham did that equestrian figure of Simon Bolivar in Central Park. New York.

der of five, but Is being tried only i on the Lemke case. Harry F. Powers was then call ' ed to the stand in his own defense. He seemed to have lost, some of his composure, though he I smiled as he looked directly at! his counsel. Attorney Ed law plunged immediately into Powers' early life., and then, after a brief questioning. j asked the accused murderer his! version of his meeting with Dor-' othy Lemke. “I met Mrs.' Lemke right here in Clarksburg.” Powers began, un- ■ easily scraping the witness stand with his swinging foot. “How did you meet her?” “I was introduced to her by Charles S. Rogers.” There was a gasp from the crowded opera house. “Rogers” is the person the state claims is mythical, but who the Clarksburg "Bluebeard" claims "must have done the murders." “Where does this Rogers live?" Powers' was asked. "Well. I think he lives in Pittsburgh. 1 just don't know where." Powers spoke deliberately as though he were weighing each word and trying to make each reply exact and specific. He admitted leaving Northboro with Mrs. Lemke on July 28. "We were going to take a trip together to get better acquainted,” Powers said. Bpbbing his head vigorously to add emphasis to his words. Powers re-told the story of ids visit, in company of his alleged victim. Famous Cough Prescription Almost instant relief from coughs is now guaranteed in th« use of the physician's famous prescription called Thoxine. It woiks on an entirely different principle; having a double action, it relieves the throat irritation and goes direct to the internal cause not reached by cough syrups and patent medicines and the cough stops like magic, usually with the veryfirst swallow. Taken before retiring. Thoxine absolutely prevents night coughing and insures a good night's sleep. It gives the same speedy relief for sore throat too. Contains no chloroform or harmful drugs. Children like it. Remember—reI lief within 15 minutes from coughs or sore throat, or your money back. 35c, 60c. SI.OO bottles. Sold by: Holthouse Drug Co., and all other good drug stores.

"She told me she wanted to' visit Fairmont where she had relatives." Powers went on. “She also said she wanted to go to New ' Orleans where she had friends she I hadn’t seen for a long time.” Powers told a long and involved i story of an occurrence that took j place on the trip from Northboro, which led him to believe that she was planning to meet "another, man at Uniontown.” “What was his name?" Attorney; Law asked. “Cecil Johnson.” Powers said I “I had known Johnson previously." I "Johnson” is the second mysterious figure introduced by Powers as the possible murderer of the 50 year old nurse. “At Uniontown. Pa.." he con-' tinned. "I stepped out of my ear i to make a purchase, v. hen I re-‘ turned, the car was empty. I was mystified and hunted up and \ down the streets looking for her." . "After a while I saw her sitting' in the back of a restaurant with I another man. whom 1 recognized i as this man Johnson.” "What did you do then?" “I went back to the car, and! there I found a note she had left; for me.” Law handed Powers a letter written in purple ink "How is this addressed?” he! asked. "To Coney dear,” Powers answered. "Who is that?” "That's me." Powers smiled and the crowd laughed. o Card of Thanks I wish to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to all those i who sent cards and flowers and to ! all my fi lends for their kind remembrances of me while I was in the hospital.

(JERMANY HAS PRICE FIXER ! (CCNTINUED FORM PAGE ONE, and other political organizations; that the government will employ every means to maintain constitu- | tion order. The decree had three general aims: to yesUire equilibrium to | 'the budget, to lower production j costs with the view of increasing j exports, and protecting currency, and to maintain the workers' stan ! dards of living. The government realized such restrictions would strengthen the cause of the fascists and eommun | ists and might lead to turther clash-1 es. Mass meetings therefore were prohibited. I The decree's prohibition of po-1 litical party uniforms affected the ! l fascists and communists less than i other organizations such as the re-! publican reichsbanner and the conjservative steel helmets. The form-' ier organizations already are prohibited from wearing uniforms in! ; many sections of Germany. Chancellor Heinrich llruening explained the decree in a nation-wide ' radio address. | "The government will not toler i ate any power in Germany except I | constitutional power," Bruening | said. "The government is determ ! ! ined to employ every means, even I a state of siege, against anybody attempting to hinder constitutional j organs in the fulfillment of their functions." The chancellor attacked the fas j 1 cists, led by Adolph Hilter, although he did not mention Hilter. |He recognized the fact that Hilter, ; in a recent interview with American ■ .and British correspondents, hud! 'been careful to assert that his party I ; would come into power only by! constitutional means. "However, it will be a crude con-! ! trast to such declarations if polit- ; ical lieutenants indulge in plans in i spired by uncontrolled political ion I imaginations.” Bruening said. “Pro ! tests will be legally valueless if it I is admitted that they are binding only until the moment of assump tion of power.” Bruening said it would be still
