II wwk BLENDED TO AMERICA'S TASTE Tree Tea is choicest high grown tea inexpensively packaged. Americans like a differently blended tea today as when American Colonials rioted over proc lamations of increased tea taxes. TREE TEA Highest Quality..Lowest Price A N w Why blame It on the Greeks? For countless hundreds of years, the dreeks probably because of their particular prominence in antiquity probably because of their unexcelled civilization of centuries ago were the considered arbiters of things gen erally. In other words, the Greeks gener ally had a name for them. This Is also true of the present, as witness that exceedingly clever pic ture coming to the Fox Craterian theater tomorrow and Thursday, titled "The Greeks Have a Name for Them." featuring the three "must-get-thelrs" Mi j Ina of the celluloid Joan Blondell, ClAtre and Madge Evans. Here la one or the snappiest movies ever presented In Medford. It Is chock full of clever comedy, frolic and ro mance and. of all things "gold dtpelngl" When the -said Misses Blondell, Claire and Evans start out to "trim" the gentry, they stay trimmed, broth er they STAY trimmed t Even if "The Greeks Had a Name for Them," the good old American slang would have picturesquely term ed them beautiful "gyp artists" and that means something in these cold, calculating days of frenzied finance and modernity.

WISCONSIN VOTERS E DELEGATES MILWAUKEE, Wis.. April 5. (AP) Politically aroused by an Intensive campaign in which the major parties were split, Wisconsin voters balloted today to choose delegates to the na tional Democratic and Republican conventions in Chicago. A heavy vote was forecast. Democrats had the opportunity to endorse the candidacy of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York by voting for a slat of delegate can didates pledged to support him.

Senior High From department, not yet fully determined, three teachers. nitrden Shifted. Another phase of school finance plans faced by the hoard last nlRht was that of distributing the carrying load for next year with the idea ot shifting pnrta of the financial bur den to those times in the year when the district has money and Is most able to bear them. As Supt Hedrick explained, school district receive their tax money mainly twice a year. May and November. Because of state law which does not permit the creation of a reserve fund for operating expenses, districts are most generally behind on re ceipt. Between these two months are stretches of time where the dis trict's credit must often be used to carry the load awaiting tax returns In normal timea thla la not diffi cult, but in times such as these, It put an undue strain, both upon the district and upon the bank. The proposition tentatively adopt ed by the school board last nlghfc t to write the teachers contractu j.r vldlng for the payment of two-third the monthly salary upon the first day of each month, but to reserve the right to pay the remaining one third of the teacher's salary at any time or times during the school year the school bonrd may elect to do it. This would operate to have the teachers help bear the load through times of the year where the, greatest stress now fnlls. When you think of a new dress, think of the Band Box.
