Thanks to you folks.
Dr. and Mrs. W. F. Markley,

Bill Freeman, of near Darrou-
zett, was over Monday trading and
attending to some business matt
era. Bill just has to come over
to his old "stomping" grounds
e&ry once in a while and have
a chat with his many friends
here in Follett. Come again "old
Top."
Mrs. Coleman also visited with
her many friends here in Follett
Tuesday and plans to leave Wed-
nesday for Wichita to resume her
duties in the college.
Milton Schwope and family,
who have been spending the win-
ter in the Rio Grande Valley, re-
turned to Follett Saturday, we un-
derstand that they planned to
stay— but since they have wit-
nessed some of our dust storms
we are unable ,to say whether
they will remain here for very
long or not.
On account of the Unstable ec-
onomic state of affairs prevail-
ing through the country, it seems
as though it has not been possible
for the lawmakers tax-raisers and
tax-spenders to arrive at any sci-
entific and equitable way of tax-
ing the rich and the poor. So
they have just soaked them all,
making sure that nobody escapes.
A start in the right direction
would be for our tax-raisers to
stop and think what they arc
doing and then cut all taxes fifty
per cent and keep expenditures
within that income. At present,
our tax-raisers seem to be busy
inventing new taxes and spend-
ing two dollars to every one they J
collect from the overburdened
tax-payers.
that government bonds now pay
less interest than at any time in
history. The average on the bonds
outstanding is but 2.86 per cent,
and the Treasury is gradually
calling in old, high-Interest bond
Issues, and issuing low-Interest
ones in their place.
Out of the tense drama of the
courtroom, the Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer studios have brought the
powerful story of "Evelyn Pren-
tice," co-starring William Powell
and Myrna Loy, which opens May
8-9th, at the Empress Theatre,
Shattuck, Oklahoma. The picture
marks the third appearance of
Powell and Miss Loy as a co-starr-
ing team and Is the industry's re-
sponse to the public's demand for
a reappearance of the popular
pair who made screen history in
"Manhatban Melodrama" and
"The Thin Man." "Evelyn Pren-
tice" presents Powell as a noted
criminal attorney with a lovely
and dutiful wife, who, through a
momentary indiscretion, becomes
involved in a scandalous murder
case. The wife, portrayed by Miss
Loy, sees another woman brought
to trial for a crime that she, her-
self, believes she has committed.
She and the "other woman" both
win vindication, through the legal
genius of the great criminal at-
torney courtroom climaxes to
reach the motion picture screen.
Hoop-skirts. lace pantalettes
and sun shades to match the
frocks have come back, as far as
Martha Sleeper is concerned. She
is playing a belle of the crinoline
days in "West of the Pecos," a
Zane Grey story of the old West
in which Richard Dix is being
starred by RKO-Radio. All act-
resses like to play a part which
calls for period dresses, and Miss
Sleepfer is no exception. "But,"
she says, "I would hate to wear
that sort of clothes nowdays, when
a woman is supposed to be as ac-
tive as a man." Miss Sleeper also
wears male attire in the picture,
disguising herself as a young cow-
boy. It was necessary to snip her
luxuriant tresses close to the
scalp. Richard Dix is supported
by a cast that includes Sleep-'n-
Eat, Louise Beavers, Fred Kohler,
Russell Simpson and Maurice
Black, at the Alamo Theatre, May
2-3-4th, Higgins, Texas.
Clark Gable proved he could
"take It" in a film scene made
for the new Metro-Goldwyn-May-
er picture, "After Office Hours,"
co-starring constance Bennett and
playing at the Empress The-
atre, Sunday, Monday and Tues-
day, May 5-6-7th, Shattuck, Okla-
homa. The star was knocked
down fifteen times In a battle with
Harvey Stephens, supporting
player, before the scene was offl-
cally okayed by Director ..Robert
Z. Leonard. Gable had his inn-
ings when, in a fight taking place
later in the picture, he squares
up accounts with Stephens and
knocks him, repeatedly, over the
back of a couch. Both men refus-
ed to use "doubles," saying they
enjoyed the exercise. Stuart Erwln,
Billie Burke, Harvey Stephens and
Katherine Alexander are also fea-
tured in the society murder-my-
stery.

district. These committees in
each state will maintain contact
with the State Superintendent if
Public Instruction, the State Mo-
tor Vehicle Commissioner, the
State Highway Patrol and the
Legislature. Next there will be
district safety committees, com-
posed of a representative from
each county in the district. These
will hold meetings with county
safety committees, to be com-
posed of a representative of each
local post in the county. The re-
presentative of . each local post
will work with local police, schools,
city councils and engineering de-
partments. All of the committees
will cooperate with automobile
clubs, insurance companies, news-
papers, safety associations and
similar organizations. Workers in
the cause of safety believe that
the Legion can be of tremendous
aid in reducing the inexcusable
accident toll—a toll which reach-
ed 35,000 people killed on streets
and highways last year. The Leg-
ion Is to be complimented on ac-
cepting this arduous duty —and
the result will be happier and saf-
er living for the people of the
country.

Monday,
A few Sundays ago Secretary
of the Treasury Morgenthau ex-
plained, via radio, the frinancial
status of the nation. Two of the
facts brought out in his speech
are of exceptional Interest. First,
when the present Administration
came to office the gross public
debt Was a trifle under $21,000,-
000,000. On March 31, it was $28,-
000,000,000. Second, it would na-
turally be supposed that the In-
terest cost of the debt would be
at a record high, Inasmuch as the
debt Itself is. But the annual In-
terest ooat—now amounting to
$800,000,000—is less than It was
in 1828, when the debt was $8,-
000,000,000 less. The reason Is
Fri. and Sat.
