Only item to come up for much

that of salary increase« for the
police department. J. H. Hardy,

Chief objection to the raise was
said to be that the additional ex
pense would be too great. How
ever, a perusal of actual figures
developed that the present police
administration has not only im
proved routine efficiency but, by
taking over extra duties, has in
creased the city's revenues from
a yearly department income of a
few hundred dollars to more than
$2,000 annually, making it pos
sible for the salary increase to be
budgeted and still leave a substan

If provision for salary raises
are disregarded at tomorrow
night's meeting and no other ques
tions are raised, the tentative fig
ures will be approved to make up
a budget total of $199,104, which
is $48,824 more than estimated
revenues of $150,280 for 1938 but
$6,321 lower than last year's bud

A farmer takes his shovel
And he takes his rake and hoe,
And then he works from dawn till dark
To make his garden grow.
Just a poor benighted farmer!
He hopes that he won’t fail,
That crops are good and he can dodge
The poorhouse or the jail!
But not so Mr. Montague
He’s much too smart for that!
He supplements the working kit
With one stout baseball bat.
And then he makes the green in three
While Crosby shoots a four,
And trusts that influence will help
Live down the name of Moore.
“Who gives a whoop for farmers?”
A screwey public hollers
But Hollywood gave Montague
A cool one million dollars!
‘3 MEN ON HORSE’
PLAYS TO CROWD
The first night performance of
"Three Men On a Horse" Thurs
day at the SONS auditorium
greeted a capacity crowd which
was generous in its applause at
the farcical predicaments encount
ered by “Oiwin” (Bill Burk),
i placid and agreeable writer of
' greeting card verses who finally
kicked over the traces in a home
infested by an insufferable broth
er-in-law and an extravagant wife
to take up residence in a second-
rate hotel where he fell in with a
group of citizens whose chief aim
in life was to accumulate enough
"scratch” to be able to wager on
the "bangtails.”
Under direction of Angus L.
Bowmer, the Holm and Abbott
smash hit will be presented again
at 9 o'clock tonight.
Burk is ably supported by Har
old Reedy, John Barker and James
Parsons as the horse players;
Ruth Byerly and Laurel Morris
as the wife and brother-in-law;
Louise DuBois as the "moll” of
one of the gamblers; Mary Lou
McKnight as a newspaper woman
and Lynn Johnson as a photogra
ph •!•; Norman Hamilton as Harry,
the barkeep: Clarence Bowman in
the role of a colored elevator boy;
Roberta Werz, maid; Don Weston,
tailor; Kenneth Brown, delivery
boy, and John Hakanson as "Oiw-
