In addition to cost of the bus

The much heralded motion pic

It is one of those pictures about

gone one of the "did you see"
pictures from which people quote
and about which they laugh.
El Brendel is fun plus in this
story a Swedish valet with
tricks of humor all his own
which must be seen to be appre
ciated. In my opinion he steals
the show from Farrell, very me
diocre in his part.
Gaynor Is quite appealing and
sincere. One of the high lights
of the picture is the Russian
family portrayed. Good to look
upon, sincere acting, and an un
usual slant for color in a picture.
Think you will like it.

GENEVA. Switzerland. Feb. 12.
(AP) The world disarmament
conference bore its first fruit to
day with the resumption of direct
negotiations between the French
and Italian delegations to settle
their naval differences.
It was firmly believed that con
ferences now being held would
lead to an extension of the Lon
don naval treaty of 1930 and pro
vide a basis for further disarma
ment of all powers on the seas.
French Minister of War Andre
Tardleu. and Foreign Minister
Dlno Grand! of Italy have already
met to discuss the subject and
their conversations are being fol
lowed up by the French and Ital

Tribute to the ideals of the re
publican party was paid by Mr.
Hoover as part of his eulogy of
Lincoln. He said its "traditions
and tenets are precious to all
those who adhere to it."
The nation at present, the pre
sident said, is in a period of stress
which history will record as one of
the most difficult since Lincoln'
time. In the fight against forces
invisible "yet potent n their pow
ers of destruction," he said,
"there is required the unity of
strength and the sense of devotion
as in war."

Clear Title to
Forest Land is
Held Available
The state of Oregon has auth

federal government. Attorney
General Van Winkle held In an
opinion handed down Friday.
The question was raised when
Bend mill operators objected to
the classification of their lands.
These operators contended that
the lands would be subject to
yield tax and, hence, a clear title
could not be given.
The attorney general held that
the lands are subject to yield tax
only as long as they are In private
ownership and that no yield tax
accrues until the products are
harvested.
