$109,780^00.
This,” the report said, “is $23,-
471,000 or 27 per cent, greater than
the total value of these same crops
last year; $58,382,000 or 114 per
cent- above the 1932 value, and
compares with a value of approxi
mately $133^)00,000 for these crops
in 1930.”
Approximately $10,300,000 in
benefit payments was made to state
farmers during the year, it*, was
said, “which in lieu of production
may be considered equivalent to
crop value,” giving the coiqbined
worth, of< crops apd benefits for the

DAY, JANUARY 7 AND 8
Taxpayers in McCormick County
are invited to attend a meeting at
the court house in McCormick on
Saturday, January 5, 1935, at 2:30
p. m. to discuss tax matters and
other matters of importance.
Everybody is invited to attend.
W. E. SHEPPARD.
President of McCormick County
Unit of State Farmers’ and Tax
payers’ League.
Blessed with fine acting and
superb direction, here is a picture
you’ll long remember. Against a
hospital background which is at all
times genuine and human are por
trayed the good times, the bad
Limes, the dreams and ideals of a
group of girls in nurses training.
Loretta Young, giving the best per
formance in her career, stands out
in the group.
A Cinderella love story thready
through the picture, with John
Boles, wealthy play-boy, as the
Prince Charming and Miss Young
his desired. Jane Darwell, as the
soft-hearted head nurse who must
be stern, is outstanding. The en
tire supporting cast, particularly
Sara Haden, Muriel Kirkland and
Dorothy Wilson, is excellent.
It’s a beautiful, a heart-stirring
picture which keeps you trembling
between tears and laughter.
