INDEBTED
It i3 doubtful if the educators of
the country realize the debt they owe
Warner Bros, for their courage in
making the huge investment neces
sary to film "A Midsummer Night's
Dream," which will be shown here
next week.
Shakespeare is, and, for more than
300 years, has been sheer literature.
The poetry, the philosophy, the wis
dom of his lines have beeome so
definitely a part of everyday speech
?and thinking?that most of us have
forgotten the reason that the great
actors?those whose fame lingers?
from the days of David Garrick to
Robert Mantell and his more imme
diate successors, have been Shake
spearian actors.
Now, what is conceded to be the
greatest comedy Shapcspeare ever
wrote, is presented as a motion pic
ture. Despite itst pomp and pagean
try, despite the sheer beauty of
fantasy and the emphasis on the
supernatural, the "Dream" might
have been written last week.
Young America will be thrilled by
its three love stories, held in awe by J
the beauty of the spe t^cles, inspired
by the music and the dances, and
particularly delighted by the robust
down-to-earth comedy.
The High School or College stu
dent who sees "A Midsummer Night's
Dream" will discover the real Shake
speare?the master dramatist."
And when they know Shakespeare,
they will be as enthusiastic over him
as were the men and women of his
own time.
We may now expect other Shake
spearin productions. But to Warner
Bros, will remain the credit of hav
ing written the climactic chapter in
the history of motion pictures.
MONEY DOSEN'T GROW OiN
TREES
(Waynesboro, Va., News-Virginian)
The money which governments
spend doe3 not grow on trees. It
comes, almost every bit of it, from
the pockets of the men and women
who work for a living. It is they
who pay the bulk of the taxes no
matter what may be done to make
it look as though only the rich pay.
Many of our citizens realiy believe
that a tax stays where it is originally
put They think that when the rail
roads, the utilities, the manufactur
ers and the merchants are taxed that
the owners pay the levy entirely out
of their own pockets. They do not
see where the tax burden finally
rests, because most of the time this
is carefully hidden by those levying
the tax.
As a matter of fact every dollar
added M taxes is a dollar added to
the cost of living, and approximately
a fifth of the nation's income gqes
for taxation. Most of us, even
though we may not pay income tax
es, foot our share of the bill in pro
portion to the number of things we
buy and the amount of money we
spend.
Every time we ride 6h a train or
in a bus, every time we switch on an
electric lightx or turn on the gas,
we pay taxes. Every time we buy
food or clothing, pay our rent or
board, the Government extracts its
part from us. We begin to pay hid
den taxes on a loaf of bread when
the farmer pays his tax at the court
house, and before the bread gets to
us more than 50 taxes have been piled
on to the loaf. On a 15 eenf package
nf cimivHM wo nay n iO ner oont
stamp tax, and in many states the
taxes are more than the actual price
of the tobacco. We pay a levy on
our telephone bill, our admission to
the movieS, our telegrams, our gaso
line. ?
It is impossible to escape the tax
collector. That is why we should be
interested in what your government
. ?
costs;

If I should fail to thank my Godi
For every day I live upon His

For everything they bring or

If I should grow cold or forget.
Each day is a link in Life's golden
chain,
Once lived, can never, never be

Every friend, every deed, or kindly
word
Is a ray of hope to us when our
cheeks TOth grief are fur
rowed.
When health, strength, wealth are
all gone,
We should realize we still have
with us the Greatest One. ?

Conditions throughout the tone asp
better than at this time last year,
Mr. Hunter asserted. There ia a
good outlook for continuation of the
sales improvement which has done so
much to bring back business in gen

Agricultural areas, for the most
part, will also show a marked in
crease in business, he said, owing to
favorable growing conditions.
"With two lines in the field today,
the brilliant new Master DeLuxe ser
ies and the new improved New Stand

ty car, we shall undoubtedly improve
on even last year's records," said
