Give 'em hell, boys! Mr. and Mrs. Otto guests at the Hoeft home in Wonder Lake on Sunday when a double wedding anniversary was in progress. It was Mr. and Mrs. A. Hoeft's, Emma's parents, 50th and Mr. and Mrs. W. Hoeft's 10th. There were about thirty guests present at the sumptuous dinner served by Mrs. W. Hoeft. A good time was had by all. Pa and Ma Steinbach, who are vacationing at Sgt. Jerome Steinbach's cottage, had as guests over the weekend, those two vivacious sisters, the Misses Anna and Margaret Danaher of Chester Highlands, who enjoyed their stay in spite of the inclement weather. We deem it unethical to reveal the identity of those howling wolves. Those two proud parents, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Miller, had that most unusual baby of theirs baptized Sunday at St. Patrick's church. The honored godparents were Mr. Joseph J. Miller,t Art's mother and cousin. The baby was named Douglas Arthur. Later Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Larson called at the Miller home to that old outfit we've had many years. And, like those old clothes, Franchot is tired of being accepted solely on the ba- ! sis of these sur- *rr , i face impressions. Especially when Malarial Mosquito!; losquito that carrie is the female of the species--and in her case she certainly is more deadly than the male. Moreover, this mosquito is of a special type known as the anopheles, and not only anopheles but a special kind of anopheles: The female anopheles that carries malaria suck* human blood, and the male does not. The female anopheles that carries malaria stands with her rep- elevated, whereas all other mosquitoes in the United States stand parallel to the skin when they do their biting. Franchot Tone these impressions are all the producers seem to remember when casting pictures. Franchot is no different from the rest of us, which means he's really just a plain, real person. Franchot cast aside his bonds of aristocracy (if he ever had them) when he gave up a career as assistant to the head of Romance languages at Cornell university for a . Coektog Frocen Vegetables f The most important rule for cooking frozen vegetables is to "cook vegetables for the shortest time required to secure an acceptable product." This applies even more strongly to frozen than to fresh products because since the tissues have already been softened by blanching and freezing, it is easy to overcook them. *"OR SALE -- 80-acre farm, between.

Certain medicinal properties which oil of erigeron is supposed to possess have led to Its application in pharmaceutical preparations. The producing regions are located In northern, Indiana and southern Michigan, with South Bend as the principal marketing center of the oil. Yearly consumption of the oil ranges from 1,000 to 2,000 pounds. .. The plants are noi ctiMvaried; they Invade abandoned cornfields, and grow prolifically. Harvesting takes place during the flowering period in the latter part of July. The plants are simply mowed down with a wheat binder, allowed to dry for 24 hours, loaded on wagons or trucks and hauled to the distilleries. These are the same field distilleries which process peppermint, spearmint, wormwood, or tansy. Live steam generated in a separate steam boiler is blown through the herb material, and the oil is collected in a Florentine flask. The charge per still consists of about 2,500 pounds of dried plants which yield from 8 to 10 pounds of oil. Several acres are required to make up one charge of herbs. Since the plants are naturally quite dry, distillation proceeds quickly, only 40 minutes being required to compete exhaustim rt each batch. Pfc.

Franchot left Cornell's halls after a year's try at teaching, shook some of the ivy out of his hair, and invaded Broadway. He can laugh at it now; he couldn't then. His invasion almost came a cropper. But Franchot was determined; he had what it took, and so Broadway succumbed when he jolted the critics from their well grooved seats with his first performance in "Age of Innocence," with Katharine Cornell. Prelude to Success Before he won this opportunity he did several years of solid training with the New Playwrights' theater in Greenwich Village, got $15 weekly. He did a stint with the Garry McGarry Players in Buffalo, kept busy doing stock work until he got his Broadway call. After the Kit Cornell show Franche>t appeared with Sylvia Sydney, Irene Pnrcell, and Peggy Shannon in "Cross Roads." He joined the Theater guild in 1929 and did a series of shows. Franchot was not only an earnest actor but an idealist in his attitude toward his work. He was an originator of the Group theater. With this organization, which still remains close to his heart, he appeared in "House of Connolly," "Night Over Taos," and "Success Story." Hollywood Next Stop 1 By this time .motion pictures were bidding for talented Broadway actors, so he signed with Paramount to play in "The Wiser Six," with Claodette Colbert, Lilyan Tashman and William Boyd. From then on Franchot cast his lot with movies, and proved himself an excellent performer. 4 A long-term contract with M.G.M. brought Tone to Hollywood, and what followed is a fpmiliar story. Producers called him "Smoothie." They immediately put him in "smooth" parts, and it's a tribute to Franchot's ability, plus? his patience, that he made himself outstanding despite the fact that he worked too often with mediocre materiaL AUCTION At George P.
