We may not agree with Judge Aiken on all his ideas as to tax reduction but we must admit his powdi* in the legislature.

They made good on one promise—they kept it up for forty days, the full limit permitted under the law-—and evidently >vould that much more time if Mr. Hush could have had his way. Now will come politics, local, state and national. Every committee is getting ready to function and they will soon be going full blast.

The latter mode of tampaigning however is not as popular as once and much more difficult to put on. . 2 In ISX6 the taxes for the spring of that year on forty acres in Washington township was $3.41.

Os course there are a few who are actually out looking for work as they have a right to do and these should and will be protected, but the bum, the beggar, the tramp who is taking advantage of the depression is no pee aunt to the community and should be so treated. The fact remains that Mr. Hoover. as president, inherited a prosperous country and he promised the abolition of poverty. He may ' not have been responsible for the i depression but he is for the statements he foolishly made and did I not deliver on and the people will most probably hold him to account.

the second stage towards st a r - dom — when directors start to cast pictures around him. The former Hollywood highschool boy, who has fluttered the hearts of some of filmdom's most celebrated beauties, is the first player chosen for the R-K-0 talkie, “Three Came Unarmed.”

x Joel McCrea

He’ll have the colorful role of a youth, born and raised in one of the far corners of the earth, and suddenly transported into the sophisticated life of London of today. E. Ernot Robinson, who is a woman by the way, captured the imagination of the reading public with this vivid melodrama contrasting the barbaric and the civilized environment. Her story will be brought to the acreen by John Cromwell, one of Hollywood’s competent writers. Until the Olympic games, few of the film colony knew anything about the game of la-crosse. The other afternoon, Harold Lloyd looked on amazed at the punishment taken by the players. After it was all over, an official asked him if he would like to referee a match. Harold shook his head emphatically. He snapped: “You don't want a referee. You want a coroner.” BOULEVARD CHATTER: The crowd at the international

I believe that most of these weeds have been cut and this care certainly adds to the beauty of the city. Strangers have often said that Decatur has the appearance of a beautiful park with its thou sands of shade trees and well kept lawns and beautiful flowers. Most of us think the same. Now since a few weeds cut in our city adds so much to the. beauty, why not let the same apply to our county highways? Many of the roads have weeds along the sides so high that they are almost

SYNOPSIS Life to lovely Patricia Braithwait was a series of parties, trips abroad an( j now—Palm Reach. Her castles crumble when her Aunt Pamela informs her that Mr. Braithwait's fortune is depleted and suggests that Pat marry the wealthy, middleaged Harvey Blaine to insure her own and her father's future, warning her that love fades. Aunt Pam s marriage with Jimmie M arren—- , handsome, young lawyer—was beginning to pall in spite of the ardent love they had had for each other. They still cared but the routine of married life had made them l “less lovers and more friends”. Stunned by her aunt's revelations. Pat is seriously considering Blaine to save the father she adores, when she meets a fascinating young camper, who only reveals his first i name. Jack. Despite their instant attraction for one another. Pat discourages future meetings. Later, Pam cautions Blaine to be matter-of-fact and not sentimental in trying to win Pat, stressing the point that his one advantage is the fait that Pat is desperately hard up and worships her father, who lives for Pat alone. His financial predicament is largely due to the gradual caving in of his plantation. His honesty prevented him from taking advantage of an opportunity to sell the property. Braithwait tries to belittle his difficulties to Pat, but she realizes he is just trying to shield her and that Aunt Pam was right. She accepts Blaine's i proposal. That night. Pat longs for Jack and hopes he will come to see , her. CHAPTER TEN Presently Pamela became aware | of a new note in Patricia's gaiety. Chaffing her father and Warren, the , , lateness of the hour had all at once , impinged upon Patricia’s conscious- j i ness. “Come, Jimmie, let’s dance,” she said, jumping up and grasping War- , ; ren’s hand. “Aunt Pam, loan me your ] i husband, please. Y'ou and Dadums . ■ can sit as long as you please over 1 I your ice. I hear my savage ancestors calling me to the ballroom.” Warren followed her, his heart | throbbing painfully. He felt that he would like to wring Blaine’s black- i guard neck, then beat his horse-like face to a pulp. His arm went around her as soon as they reached the ballroom floor, ’ and he drew her fiercely against him. She looked up in laughing surprise. “Why, Jimmie, you are as bad as some of these boys who think a girl doesn't need to breathe while , i she dances.” , I "Excuse me, Pat. I'm mad. Darn . mad." , “And do you always squeeze a I lady when you're mad?" “If she happens to be the cause. i I can't break her face and retain j my standing in decent society, so I i try to break her ribs, which society I permits.” “Do you want to break my face?" 1 “Frightfully." “Why?” | “Blaine.” SheJifted her stricken face to him, her eyes wide and pleading. “Oh Jimmie!” She sobbed. “I just can't - ■ rested by something new and strange and tremendously moving in the fair handsome face of the man downbent to her. His gaze seemed to consume her in a hungry flame. His breath came in labored gusts, and on his brow a vein throbbed painfully. “Oh, Jimmie,” she whispered, not I knowing what moved her so strangely. She was at one* frightened and drawn to him. She wanted both to ] break away from him and to cling to him. Her face still uplifted, she closed her eyes, unable to meet the fire of his, and by some magic alchemy. he was, Ja-.k. It was his brow on which that dark vein throbbed, his eyes that burned and aeared her,

his arms that held her so closely. All the strength ran out of her. And with a little sigh, a smile of utter content touching her lips, she gave herself in sudden sweet yielding to his embrace. Warren, looking down at the closed eyes, the gently parted lips, hearing that little sigh and feeling the complete surrender of her young body, forgot all the fine resolves he had made earlier in the evening to “cut off both arms” before he would attempt to defile her either by playing his love against the inflammable emotions of youth, or by the furtive game of gratitude. In an agony of ecstasy, he drew her to him, pressing his face down against hers. . . . She cared for him! She cared! His storming senses sang. He could and would save her from that vermin who had nothing but wealth to offer her. “Oh, little Pat,” he breathed. With a start she opened her eyes, drawing her face away from him. Jimmie, not Jack, smiled at her. “Jimmie, I,” she began in confusion. “I " But before she could offer her shamed explanation of what seemed to her, her outrageous conduct, she was snatched away, still tingling strangely. Nor did her excitement abate as the hours marched on. Jimmie did not cut in again, for which she was grateful. She didn’t understand her amazing reaction to his advances, and felt she had made a fool of herself in his eyes. Mr. Blaine, who had watched her gloatingly all evening from the embrasure of a window, now made up his mind to “cut in” on her. Patricia almost swooned when she looked into the pale repellant face of her future husband. But without a moment's hesitation she slid into his arms.
