Previews and Reviews | AT LOCAL THEATERS h dGranada "Mountain Justice,” co-starring Josephine Hutchinson and George Brent is showing Sunday, Monday and Tuesday at the Granada Tneatre. Miss Hutchinson is a young girl from a remote hill hamlet who has had a brief interlude of life in the outside world, so that she realizes the romance ami fanticism and unhealthiness of her native backwoods community. She aspires to remedy these conditions. Chiefly, she wants to establish a clinic with the aid of a genial old doctor, Guy Kibbee her one sympathizer so that children may be reared under proper auspices in the benighted village. Her cruel, ignorant father. Robert Barrat, is her chief enemy. He is set against all "furrin” ways. VoneMtle "Personal Property’’ co-starring Jean Hallow and Robert Taylor is the attraction at the Voncastle Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The story of "Personal Property" casta Miss Harlow as Mrs Crystal Witherly who poses in London society as a wealthy American widow, but who is actually impoverished and is being pursued by her creditors. When Taylor, playing the part of Raymond Daliney. is given a job as a sheriff’s officer assigned to watch the personal property of Mrs Witherly, she induces him to pose as her butler ' in order not to “give him away” before a man whom she hopes to marry for his money and thus liquidate her debts.

Busteir, a third grade child, read a very beautiful original poem entitled ‘My Mother." Mrs. John Cartwright, in a most pleasing manner, reviewed the book, "Being Little in Cambridge." Each child presente I its mother with a gift which it had planned and made with the assistance of its teacher. The children served punch and wafers to the guests. As n climax to the occasion.

party such a success.

Children of Miss Pitchford’s nnd Mrs. Bartleys rooms entertained the teachers and children of the other grades with playlets and songs Friday morning. Mrs. Hood and her first grade children entertained Mrs. Walker and her pupils with a Tea Party, Monday afternoon.

The following children were chosen: Virginia Arnold, Ruby Saathoff, Mary Frances Torr, Mabel Walbring, Richard Rowland, Steve Deer, Billy Lambert and Jack Harlan. The children brought play dishes and tables for the occasion. The room, was beautifully decorated in lilacs and violets. Each child had his part as host or hostess. Two sets of swings have been placed on the Miller School playground. We wish to thank Mr. Seeley of First Ward for his assistance and also Mr. Erdman for the use of his work shop in assembling the parts of the swings. The Parent-Teacher’s Association and the School Board bought the equipment. Billy Garrett of the fifth grade in the Ridpath School, who has spent the winter in Florida, returned this week and told his room, during a language period, some very interesting things about his experiences. He also showed a number of pictures he had taken while there.

The fourth grade of Jones School had 100 per cent attendance this week.

OBITUARY In the wif’st of life we are in death Ernest Rt ymond Cook, son of Asa ind Mary B illard Cook, was born in 1875 in Hair ilton county He was the third nf four children, i brother atid sister having preced'd him in depth, second child Charles H. being the only surviving member >f his immediate family, and the at‘achment between these brothers has beer exceedingly close. Ernest, as all of his friends knew him, was never married but for many years has mt intained a home which was open at all times to every member of his family Following the leath of his father he still remained ■n the home with his mother and it was to this home that in turn one and another came in need, hut always until her death, his mother was bis first care. Some twenty years ago when the youngest brother, Emory, lost his wife, their daughter Irene, now Mrs. Fuller, came to make her home with Uncle Ernest and later tier younger brother and in- J valid father became members of the family. To these children who came to him very young, and to this brother whose need was great because of ill health. Ernest was indeed a friend in time of need. Not only brother and uncle hut father when the father was gone. Few men have taken such responsibility and given of themselves and their substance as he has done. Besides Irene and Jimmy whose home has always been his home, other nephews and nieces surviving are Frances Cook and I»rene Cook Duncan. Mary Cook. Leah Smolinski and Dallas and Charles Cook. His memory will always be fragrant in the lives of these two children and his brother who have always turned to him in every need. There seems no more fitting tribute to a ’’fe qf service to those in need than to say at the end of that

life.

He did his duty well. C.AKI) OF THANKS We wish to thank the friends, pall bearers, the minister, Mr. and Mrs. McCurry and all those who in any way assisted us in the death of our dear uncle and brother. Charles H. Cook Irene Cook Fuller James Cook.

GIRL SCOUT NEWS The mental response to the two words "Girl Scouting” is hiking, woodcraft, nature lore. Last Saturday the local troops enjoyed an outing at Allendale. Under the leadership of Dr. Winona Welch and several college students the scouts progressed in the subjects of trees and shrubs, plants, rocks and minerals. The girls planned and prepared both noon and evening meals, they had rest and recreation periods and the evening ended with songs and stunts around a campfire all just like a regular day in camp. While many organizations are drawing their programs to a close, the Girl Scouts still have several events to look forward to. May 22 they will hold a swimming exhibit to which families and friends may

be invited.

While no definate date has been set. the scouts are looking forward to visiting the observatory and learning a few technicalities about the

celestial bodies.

The reduction in chicken raising this year is believed to be due largely to high feed prices without corresponding increases in egg prices, although farm egg prices are higher than a year ago and have not declined as much as usual this spring. According to reports of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, “a reduction of seven to ten pef cent in the total hatch this spring as compared with 1936 is in prospect.’’ The demand as shown by advance orders, for late April, May and June chicks iff about one-third less than last season, according to Carrick With an average yield, grain prices

owners should profit from the decreased production. Carrick points out that prompt culling of fowls which quit laying from now on will assist in maintaining a profit produeng flock. Utilization of farm feeds, especially oats and skim milk, will help to reduce production costs. After all, chicks started now will not consume a large amount of feed before harvests begin, when an average crop production would reduce feed prices. Only about eight pounds of suitable feed is required to grow a chicken to 12 weeks and about 16 pounds to grow a pullet to20 weeks of age. Information concerning the use of farm feeds is obtainable from county agricultural agents and the Purdue agricultural extension department.
