had best beware. Two litttle girls are
bidding for their laurels. The Duncan sisters, Rosetta and Vivian, who
temporarily deserted the stage for
films, are inak'ng their screen bow in
"Topsy and Eva,'' which shows at the
Liberty theatre Saturday and Sunday.
The interest of Hollywood's screen
world was focused on this picture because it was expected to decide whether a comedy based almost entirely on
the antics of two girls could he successful.
„ Not only was this decided In the affirmative, but some critics who previewed the production even went so
far as to declare "Topsy and Eva," one
of the best comedies made.
The, acireen play was adapted from
the musical comedy of the same name
which served as a vehicle for the
Duncan sisters for more than three
years. The picture was directed by
Del Lord and includes in Its cast of
supporting players Gibson Gowland as
Simon Legrce, Noble Johnson as Uncle Tom, Marjorie Daw as Mariettta,
Myrtle; Ferguson as Aunt Ophelia, Nils
Asther as George Shelby, and Henry

NEWSPAPERMEN OF STATE
TO HONOR FITZGIBBON
Newspapermen of Michigan will be
guests of the Union League Club of
Michigan on the occasion of its first
annual press dinner, at the Book-Csd-
il'lac hotel in Detroit, Thursday even-
ins, December 29.
The dinner is to be complimentary
to John Fitzgibbon of the Detroit
.News, dean of political writers of
Michigan.
Committees representative of tlie
press are co-operating with the Union Club of Michigan in the preparation of the invitation list and in development of the program.       ,
states in the union, with Michigan
and Ohio of course in the lead. This
is an increase of 100,184 over the record of 1926.
Cedar Hill State Park contains 270
acres and is claimed; to be one of the
most beautiful of all. the stiate parks,
its natural attractions and location
being outstanding features, with its
forests, lakes, hills, and valleys, to
which the state is adding splendid
winding roads which afford splenlid

Majority  Seem to  Prefer Four  Cent i Hills, is entrancing.—Manchester fin-
Gas Tas. terprise'
A sudden hurst of .activity in the past
few clays indicates that the farmers ol'
the state are consolidating to presen;
a formidable demand for tax relief t,i
the next legislature.
In order that individual agriculturists may be enlisted in the cause, meetings are being arranged and programs
are being mapped out. Farm leaders
predict that they will be able to go
before the legislature with the most
solid backing in years.
The Michigan State Farm Bureau
launched the campaign by announcing
a poll of its membership and meetings
of local granges to determine the sentiment relative to highway financing. It
is the contention of many of the farmers that a high weight tax penalizes
the farm owner of an automobile. Thei
frankly prefer a high gasoline tax, oi>
the theory it exacts a /evy only in proportion to the amount the roads are
used. It is believed tht- poll and the
meetings will result in an overwhelming majority of the Farm Bureau membership for a four-cent gas tax. and reduction in revenues for weight schedules.
That amendments in the highway
finance scheme will be advocated, there
is no doubt. The farmers evidently
will have Governor Green with thein.
The State Grange took another tack
on the taxation problem. A policy committee was named by tbe executive
committee. This committee, with cooperation of local granges will draw a
program of general tax relief for farmers. Grange leaders declare agricul-11. From Bangor, Me., to San Diegn
