but the ladies who give away an r.pron or a dress to the holder of a lucky ticket, that funds to aid the needy may be raised, must face a court. They are still "straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel.” ~ > Congratulations to the Herne choruses which won two first and a third prize in the Chicagoland Music Festival. It was a distinct trfump for they competed against the best singers in the middle west. Berne has a right to feel justly proud of these men and women and Adams county as a whole is glad to boast of such organizations as those as come from that town, long Limed for musical talent. The tentative estimate for the Adams county budget, showing about the samq total as last year, will of course be checked several times before it is finally adopted. This estimate does not take into account any salary reductions which will be considered when the official copy of the law is received. Every penny which can possibly be saved will be taken off and whatever is necessary to meet the requirements of the law will be complied with. That’s the way Adams county does business and the officials will bend every effort in that direction this year, realizing the necessity for a reduced rate if possible. One of the points made by Mr. Roosevelt in his Columbus speech was that the administration continues to cry that the depression is world-wide, but in this great land of opportunity that should not prevent every one being comfortable and properly managed that would be result. The people demand a change and most of them are chuckling over the desperate roar of the leaders of the G. O. P. There are more than a hundred million people in this country to feed and c’othe. requiring sufficient goods to create a real market but there is something wrong and Roosevelt proposes to find it. If he were not a worthy opponent they would not be ganging on him as they are. While the Republican leaders I are belittling the great address of I Franklin Roosevelt at Columbus I rand it was really one of the greatest orations of its kind ever delivered. they are neverthless losin.", no opportunity to reply. Word comes now that the orators will turn loose a barrage of attack, which is just what the governor desires, we presume. He will keep them on the defense the next ten weeks and all the names they call him will avail little with the disgruntled and disappointed voter. ! While denying the accusations of Mr. Roosevelt, they admit that 25,000.000 people must be fed next winter or they will starve. They deserve criticism and they should expect it. o Household Scrapbook -ByI ROBERTA LEE I Baking Powder Poultry stufffiags, croquettes, or any stuffing that is inclined to be a little heavy, will be lightened if a tea.-noon tul of baking powder is added before cooking.

By HARRISON CARROLL. Copjrljhi. ll>l. Kia, Inturw liadlou. Ih 1 HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Aug. 00— t Two great ambitions are to be realized by Joe E. Brown in one swoop. Warner Brothers have decided at last to make ?• "Elmer the Great" with the 1 jF chasm faced if > comedian in the ■ title role. Joe 1 eWg r has been hankS ’ ering after this ’ picture for many l-w T = mont hs. It is to start after "You j Said a Moutht ful,” which beA gins about Au.<A 38 gust a’2nd, is /gft jS completed. I ■ O “Elmer the " Great” will also Joe £• give Joe E. an Brown opportunity to do what he has always wanted —a characterization which does not depend alone An his oral cavity and his ululating gifts. Although, if the fans really want kis howl and his yawn, some way will probably be found to get them in. Ring Lardner and George M. (Michael) Cohan are the playwrights of "Elmer the Great.” It is one of the most successful baseball oomedies put on the stage. The Burbank studios will probably cast it with famous baseball names, waiting for the oif-baseball season to use them. El Captain’s show record was broken by Joe E. Brown when he played the baseball comedy thirteen weeks there, returning to Hollywood after long runs in San Francisco and Oakland to do another 2 weeks. The studio was telling the Marx brothers that although their “Cocoanuts” did not set the world afire in England last year, this year's picture, “Horse Feathers';” is a panic with the Britons. "They are laughing at last year’s picture,” flipped Groucho. BOULEVARD CHATTER. Marie Dressier led the star parade to Santa Barbara for the fiesta this coming week-end... .

An additional year’s work will mean another certificate and of course better prepay 1 to cope with life’s problems. More schooling will bring about a higher personal efficiency and will also renu v the hazards of unemployment in later years. Last year sixteen graduates did post-graduate work. There is n ; adequate time for more training. • School will open on Tuesday morning, September 6, at 8:00 o’clock. All students who wish to enroll f' the coming year in any one of the above mentioned courses should write or see Principal W. Guy Brown or S«l M. F. Worthman.
