Unexpected Ri-Iunis Jnrecl Spnrks was the principal owner nnd general manager of a prosiiorous manufacturing plant. 'Hie business was growing steadily, and Sparks always an the lookout for new outlets for his products.

One day he received loiter enclosing a blank from to bo filled out. The letter stated that new edition of "Scllwell's Business Directory" was in progress, nnd askfcd that Mr. Spnrks fill out, sign and mail the blank, giving such information about his business as would be of interest to buyers and purchasing agents. Pleased to have his name and products thus brought to the attention of prospective buyers, Sparks promptly complied with the request. A few weeks later, during his absence, a collector called and presented bill to Mr.

Smith, the treasurer, for $100 for one-page advertisement in "Boswell's Buyers Guide." "Mr. Sparks is away," snid Smith, "and I don't know anything nbout this matter. 'Aren't you an officer of the company?" asked the collector. "Yes. but Mr.

Sparks usually takes cure of the advertising." "Well," said the collector, "here is the contract Mr. Sparks signed for the advertisement, with the on presentation of proof." And here's the proof of the page in our new edition." "That's different," said Smith. "Since Mr. Kjxirks ordered it, I'll give you check." "And will you just sign this voucher for our auditing department?" the collector requested. As the voucher simply stated that the company had paid $100 for a one- page advertisement, as per contract, the treasurer it.

Now here is the thing that should stnrlle every thinking man and woman into action: Judges testify that of the youth convicted of crime, 97 per cent have had no religious training at all and only 3 per cent come from the ranks of the Sunday school. Religious Census Sunday The raligiousrcensus that shall be taken Sunday is not drive for Sunday school alone but an earnest effort by the churches of Hope to interest men and women and boys and girls of our city in the church activities and the religious life of the community. None of us would rai.se our families in a city where there was no church, Hich a thing would be unthinkable. There is a great need for more active effort along this line and the census is the frist step in that direction. It is sincerely hoped that every citizen who is contacted will cheerfully give the information desired by the workers and further will put forth more effort in the future to interest friends and neighbors in the church and it's to the 'religious life )f city ilvnild be a vital factor in I t's existence and should govern many )f it's policies and activities.

"I never have found this kind of advertising profitable, and have done none of it for years!" "Here's the contract," said the collector. "It was signed by the treasurer, Mr. Smith."

McGinnis Speaks on Hollywood Before Hope Rotarians The motion picture industry, now 33 vcars old, is the fifth largest enterprise in the world, R. McGinnis, manager of the New theater, told Hope Rotary club at its luncheon meeting Friday at hotel Barlow. Motion picture theaters in the United States gross more than a billion dollars each year. The average citizen spends opproximately 28 cents per in attending motion picture Admission charges up to 40 cents are free of federal taxes, but from 40 cents up, theaters are taxed 10 per cent by the federal government.

Local and state taxes vary. Motion picture players draw as high as $300,000 per year as salary. The lowest paid players receive $5 per day. They are termed "extras." Stars receiving $300,000 salaries are taxed so heavily so only net approximately 25 per cent.

Reports received at Hendayc, Franco- Spanish frontier, said the Spanish government was rushing reinforcements to the Aragon front to meet assaults by the strengthened insurgent forces against either Valencia or Catalonia.

By WILLIS THORNTON NBA Service Staff Correspondent The novelist who sells as many as 7500 copies of his book considers that he has a great success. And the nonfiction book that sells 5000 copies is doing very well indeed. So when Mr. Dale Carnegie's book "How to Win Friends and Influence People" sells more than 600,000 copies, you may fairly conclude that Mr. Carnegie has got something there.

President, Roosevelt saying new taxes would be necessary if the cost of the crop control program is increased by the special session of congress which is convened next month. "It is of course especially important that any new legislation should not unbalance the expected balancing of the budget," the president wrote. "In other words, no additional federal expenditures from the, general treasury fund should be made over and above existing planned expenditures. The only exception 'to this would be the incurring of additional obligations on the part of the'Treasury, backed lOOi per cent by additional ceipts from new taxes. "In other words, whatever goes Jffii must be balanced; by amount in," Congress appropriated approximately billion dollars for soil conser- 1 vation during the current year.
