Mr. Shellr nbargcr was bcrn on October 3, 1840, rt a time when the Vr.n Burcn and Harrison presidential crmpagin was on ever the nation, when yet the Mexican war was to be fought and the annexation cf the ter ritorial of the southwest wr.3 to be made.

Franchot and Joan Crawford were sitting several boxes away when the comedian and Paulette Godard took their Feats at the Hollywood b o w 1. Though a success ful actor, now al most a Hollywood veteran, Franchot was plainly excit ed. Finally, he con fessed. Charlie has been his screen idol since boyhood. "I wonder if he'd give me his auto -?-S, .Franchot T8ne graph?" he said impulsively. A moment later, he was out of his scat and had joined the crowd back of the comedian's box. After waiting his turn with oilier autograph seek ers, he thru't a program and a pencil ever Charlie's shoulder. Without seeing who it wa comedian .shook his hend. the "I'm rorry, I don't ive auto- graphs." he said. Franchot went disconsolately back to his box. But the last part of the story is the best. Joan stopped I Iy man Fink, the photographer, and asked him to explain to Chaplin that Franchot Tone wanted his autograph. A half hour later Hyman returned. He not only had Charlie's autograph, but those of Bette Davis and Anna Sten a; well. Was Franchot's face red! Add to strange fan letters the one just received by Mona Barrio. An 1S-ycar-clJ Chicago girl writes the ac tress seven and a half pages all about Lew Ayres. "I can't eat, sleep or work for think ing about him" de clares the enthusi astic fan. "I know you work at the Fox studio. Will you give this let ter to Lew and ex plain?" Mona Barrio Not a word about Mona herself. But Mona says: "I'm consoling myself that the girl may have a mad brother. And he may have written Lew seven and a half pages about me." What romance between a new for eign star at Universal and a brunette Hollywood beauty gets stormier and funnier every day? The latest ex plosion took place in the studio com missary when she threw a lighted cigaret, a glass of ice-water and a handfull of sugar at her astonished swain.

Manager Announces Result cf tho Contest. Three Nebraska iicmer.ukc:s iium bered av.iong tlie fifteen prize win ners in a national "Ycu Name It" Gas liange naming contest sponsored by tli Geo. I). Bopcr Corporation liOvkfoid, Illinois, makers of Iiopei gas ranges. They arc Mrs. Ben Aus tin, C25 South 14 ill street, Lincoln, Nebraska, who lias been awarded first prize of $200. Mrs. D. F. Wag ner, 125 West 1 "tli street, Crete Nebraska, and Mrs. L. S. Chamber lain, West Main street, Mi'ford, Ne braska, who were awarded honor able mention prizes of " each. Checks were presented to these j prize winners this week by represen tatives cf the Iowa-Nebraska Light Sz Power company who conducted the contest locally throughout its ter ritory as part of the national plan. "The idea bihind the campaign," said Mr. F. I. Ilea, "was to find a name that would instantly convey the style and beauty of the new Roper ranges. We also wanted the name to tell of the high quality con struction, special convenience fea tures and economical operation ol these modern creations. It was felt that the best method of securing such a name was to 'go to the country' appeal to the thousands upon thou sands of people who came in to see and buy one of the new models. "The plan was overwhelmingly successful in that thousands upon thousands paiticipated. Naturally to find that we have three of the prize winners in Nebraska in the face of this tremendous competition, was highly gratifying. We want to thank all of those who came intc our store, saw the new ranges dem onstrated, and then submitted a name in the contest. Even though every one could not win a cash prize. 1 believe that educational value oi the demonstration of this mcderr rnnge was well worth the time and trouble of the participants. At least, people had a chmge to see the very latest in g::s cooking equipment." The sound sense cf the great Am erican people cannot bo questioned, but our progress depends to a large degree upon the awakening of pub lic confidence and the development of better business. You should not try to beat a train to a railroad crossing. You can't al ways do it. A lot of careless remarks are niadi by our politicians that are not war ranted by facts. They should think twice before they speak. t Without doubt your city could make an impression on people liv ing elsewhere by placing in theii hands a copy of this newspaper. It reflects the spirit of progress of your city. After you read it today, mail il to some friend or acquaintance far away. c In some countries it seems that the faddists and idealists hail the wildest aspirations of dreamers ae the solution of all problems. Among the greatest assets a city should have are cleanliness, beauty, enterprise, far-sighted!ice;s and a spirit to do greater things. The Axe of Economy is relentless. Whf-n the next war comes, thesc of fight i.-.g age will fight, just a? they always have done and those who hcige the fighting will make r.ic.cy, just t.s they hive always do i.e. - Vh:n ycu give the pcciple facts they will do their own arguing and cl;c::!;ng.
