There are a ft w left to decide Who the nominees for the various tlty. township and county candidates are to he and they will be much sought after the next few weeks. The fact that this county has but about $8,500 of delinquent taxes due is indisputable evidence that this is a fine old county with honest citizens who nay as they go and who meet conditions as they arise. Well, now that we are all filed, lets present our cause to the voters. make a clean campaign, smile at the results and shake hands with our opponents, promising an extra effort to support the "winners. The candidates kept coming right up to five o'clock Saturday afternoon. The next date is in ten days which is the time allowed for the withdrawal of those who don't like the going. The gasoline tax in Canada is "“from six to eight cents and the “freight up there is another overhead. that adds to the to'al rate. You know you have been some place when you motor through that country. The police orders against double parking on Second street worked splendidly Saturday night and it was much better for every one. With a little cooperation from the "■public, the streets can be kept open •for traffic and after all, that's what -they are for.

educator of tne middle west The occasion will be a happy one for many and will follow the usual entertainment. The selection of officers to conduct the primary Is going to be a difficult job. since the law provides that relatives, second cousins or nearer kin. cannot servo and in almost every precinct there are so many candidates that the field from which to choose members of the board is comparatively small. Glancing over the list of candidates for minor offices on the Democratic list wo are at a loss to understand what some of them are doing there. We snow of two or three who inquired how to file as Republicans and we just can't help but feel that some one has been pull ing a few “monkey shines." We are not objecting to the politics of these boys but they would look so much better in their own pews. Some how a long time ago, this county seems to have gotten out of step on the election of township advisory boards. The last legislature passed a law making it mandatory that all township officials including the advisory boards be elected in Novemb- r. 1934, and each four years thereafter. Consequently it is necessary to vote for these officials again this year. In most instances the old officials were renominated and it is hoped the matter will be satisfactorily straightened out. The off and on game of the electric lines along the west side of Second street Saturday night made us think of the long ago. when this was the rule rather than the exception. It has been years since we had any troubles of this kind and it should be remembered that the recent storm played havoc with the local lines and it may take some time to get every kink out. The boys worked speedily to make the inconvenience of as short duration as possible. — o—- ♦ m« Answers To Test Questions Below are the Answers to the Test Questions Printed on Page Two. ♦ —■ --♦ 1.

By HARRISON CARROLL CcpyrlchL 1»34. Kin< FMturM Syndicate. Xm. HOLLYWOOD, Cal., — Miracle of miracles! Mrs. Patrick Campbell, who once blasted Hollywood with her

scorn, has suffered a complete change of mind. The famous British actress came sweeping in from Palm Springs to blurt out her revised opinions with her customary frankness. “Anything I detest are narrow people,” she snapped. “Hollywood is free—untrammelled by stuffy rules and

"rK y Mr» Patrick Campbell :

clamps—it breathes fresh air and shouts when it wants to—it drinks —it makes love—it is almost Elizabethan in its regal social independence.” The star of two continents sighs to have come here so late. “Ah, I am an old woman,” she says. “On the screen, my face looks like a waffle-iron. My voice spittles in the microphone. But I find youth, fire and spirit here. You hear all sorts of things about Hollywood. I am bewildered trying to know what to believe. These frightful ‘lowdown’ items in the papers are quite appalling. Really, if I were young, I should be afraid to send out my laundry." As one who has seen the preview of “Rip Tide,” I can say that Mrs. Campbell is most unjust to herself. Her blustery British dowager is the sure, pointed comedy of an artist. One whom Hollywood can use. Declining fortunes cast many of the one-time great into the ranks of motion picture extras. Hundreds of examples could be named, but one of the saddest, 1 think, is the former Colonel on Pershing’s staff, who now carries a spear in Cecil B. De Mule's “Cleopatra.” Yon wouldn’t believe it in a picture, but it really happened. The other night a blind-man sat in the audience at the preview of “Finishing School.” His name is Jim Bruce and he is an old cattleman from New Mexico. He had gone to the theater, simply to hear the voices of the actors. Suddenly, he bscame all attention. “Who is that speaking?” he asked.

They told him it was Bruce Cabot. “No,” he said, “I'm sure that is Jacques de Brujac, the boy I taught to ride in New Mexico.” The next day he called the RKO studio and, of course, they bore him out. As a result, Bruce and his old friend have been reunited and the star is having him out to dinner. For years, Sir Guy Standing has been trying to acquire a painting by Julian Ricks. As a young man, he met the landscape artist on a sketching tour in the New Jersey swamps. Although they formed a fast friendship,*the two lost track of each other when Sir Guy went to England. With fame and better times, the actor tried to buy one of his friend's paintings, but they were all in museums and not for sale. Then, on the “Double Door” set the other day, "Sir Guy was playing the part of an art connoisseur. In a group of pictures, he suddenly discovered the long-sought Ricks landscape. Inquiries discovered that the picture was rented from a Los Angeles art gallery, which has been lending it to studios for 18 years. Sir Guy bought the picture. And, being a wily trader, he got it for hundreds of dollars less than he would have paid. There will be no hitch in the honeymoon o f

Being unable to give a satisfactory answer, the agent made a trip to Lafayette Saturdayevening in the hopes of getting some information that would help to answer this qestion. He found that the state statistician has a double force of clerks working from 7 a. m. to 10 p. tn., including Sundays, Miao that it would be at least a week before this force would have an analysis made of the preliminary summaries. and that the corn hog board of review would then have to give these analyses a close study before quotas could be kiven to the county allotment committees. After the quotas are received by the local boards some adjustments will no doubt be necessary, and in any event the figures will have to be extended for each contract and the same typed; sent out for final "sign up," after which they can be sent to Washington. A new corn-hog ruling of consid erable local interest is one that will permit a producer to buy pigs to satisfy his hog base, provided he buys them of another contract sig ner residing in the same county. o Dry Town to Get Liquor

PHILOMATH, Ore. (U.P) — Beer is being sold for the first time in the historic town, founded by the United Brethren Church. The charter under which Philomath was incorporated many years ago forever barred the sale of alcoholic beverages and provided that any property on which they were sold should immediately revert to the city. The Oregon Liquor Control Act repealed all conflicting provisions and ordinances of city charters. Bell Summons Worshippers Polk. Neb (U.R) Worshippers at the Baptist church here are called to services by a bell of mysterious origin. Several years ago the bell was left on the church door step by persons unknown. It was never claimed. Recently the church directors voted to either sell the bell or install it in the church steeple. The latter course was decided upon and its mellow peal now calls churchgoers to worship. o Leng Mountain Kangs The Himalayan mountain ranga is about \7s<> miles long
