The Alftmo winds up the year
with some of the leading stars
of the entertainment world in
a number of excellent pictures.
The week begins with Mickey
Rooney and Wallace Beery in
“Stablemates,” a picture that
is as good as “The Champ”
which lingers in memory as the
highlight of seven years ago.
Rooney and Beery as a pair of
derelicts who are rehabilitated
through a mutual love for a
racing thoroughbred are at their
peak. A picture filled with dra-
matic sentiment for the most
sentimental day in the year.
Mickey Rooney makes a sec-
ond appearance Tuesday and
Wednesday in “Hold That Kiss”
in which he shares featured
billing with Dennis O'Keefe and
Maureen O’Sullivan.
Thursday one day only Gary
Cooper as Marco Polo in the
world's most romantic adven-
ture, “The Adventures of Mar-
co Polo” with Sigrid Gurie and
Basil Rathbone. A story of the
gay, swashbuckling adventurer
whose fierce fights and ardent
love affairs were excitingly
spread from Venice to Imperial
China.

Suggested by the famous
“Pecks Bad Boy” stories which
delighted readers a generation
ago, “Peck’s Bad Boy with The
Circus,” coming to the Orphic
Theatre Sunday stars Tommy
Kelly in the first of a new
scries concerning the delightful
adventures of the young fic-
tion hero.
Tommy Kelly is seen as the
fun-loving Bill Peck in a role
said to be as human and love-
able as that he portrayed in his
debut film, “The Adventures of
Tom Sawyer.” Here Bill Peck,
losing his railroad fare to a
summer camp, hitch-hikes with
an itinerant circus. When the
show’s star bareback rider
sprains her ankle, the boy goes
on in her place in full disguise,
and propelled by a wire guidec
by the I’on-tamer, enacts a hi-
larity-packed scene.
Taming the lions in his own
riotous fs&hion, racing cross-
country in a chariot and a
youthful romance with the pret-
ty bareback rider are among
the gay moments in “Peck’s
Bad Boy With The Circus,” an
RKO Radio Picture. Ann Gillis,
who was seen as Becky Thatch-
er in "Tom Sawyer,” heads the
featured cast, which also in-
cludes Edgar Kennedy,, Benita
Hume, Spanky McFarland and
Louis Beavers, all directed
Edward F. Cline.

Realizing that there is no
home without a mother, he mar-
ried for his second wife. Miss
Emma Fischer, who, after a
short span of married life,
passed on to “higher grounds”
following an attack of tyohoid
fever. He again mourned the
loss of a dear wife and with
great fortitude carried on for
the sake of his six motherless
children.
In 1909 he was united in the
bonds of matrimony with Miss
Meta Becker of EUinger, who
survives him and who lavished
her love and affection upon her
stepchildren as though she was
their real mother. Although his
devoted wife was never a moth-
er, yet in spirit she filled this
place so lovingly and smilingly
that her stepchildren revere her
for the fine motherly care and
attention given theim in their
immature life. Aside of his dis-
consolate iwife the following
named children survive:

le said that the FSA flexible
lease form, now being distribut-
ed by-his office is winning fav-
or with both landlords and ten-
ants and that a considerable
number of farms in this county
will be operated under it during
the coming year,
“A tenant who stays upon a
given piece of land for only a
year has no opportunity to build
up that land and no incentive
to do it,” Elick continued. “In-
stead he is inclined to take out
all he can. The land owner may
be struggling along like the
tenant on an inadequate income.
He has his money invested in
the land and taxes to pay, so
he also is interested in having
the tenant get the most possible
out of this year’s crop, letting
the future take care of itself.
In many cases, the landlord does
not live in' the county or the
state, and fails to realize what
is happening to his soil.”
The supervisor said that ten-
ant families move during the
winter after the crops are har-
vested, which means that the
movement is made at a time
when the children must be tak-
en out of school. “They not only
lose several weeks of school,
they often stay out for the re-
mainder of the school year.
When they do go back to school
they are likely to be set back
in their classes, and become dis-
couraged and disinterested. The
same discouragement and lack
of interest occurs with the
tenant farmer himself, and with
his wife, in regard to partici-
pation in community activities.”
The estimate of tenant far-
mers moving in this county was
based upon the state average
of approximately 40 per cent
of tenants moving annually, and
the last census figures which
show the number of tenant far-
mers in this county to be 1.577.
