I am Samantha Abrams. I am a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and I'm the Archivist at Culver's Burger Joint. I think the best comparison is like Five Guys or Shake Shack, I don't know. Good stuff. I'm in Madison, Wisconsin, and to orient you guys, it's a smaller city compared to D.C., but it's home to a lot of cultural heritage institutions. I'm part of SAA's student chapter on our campus. This is their mission. It's basically twofold. We serve ourselves, the future archivist, and we serve the community. My problem with being a member of SAA is that we really are good at serving ourselves, and we're terrible at serving the public. So I wanted to change that. I'm the advocacy leader for our group, so I thought I would do what we called Personal Archiving Day. And the first idea was actually to do personal digital archiving, but then we realized our audience probably would be people not interested in that or not ready to do that. So what we instead did was Personal Archiving Day. We invited members of the community to bring in things that they have at home. These are from my archive at Culver's, so you don't have sound cans at home or whatever, but close enough. So we invited people to read books and film and stuff like that. We coordinated with Archives Month, which is an outreach event. It's huge in Wisconsin. We use the Wisconsin Historical Society to our advantage. They advertised for us. It was on their website. It was a good partner to have. But we also did other things like we emailed politicians. We did not email Scott Walker. We emailed...we advertised on community calendars. We had a spot on the news for two minutes. And then all that advertising got us these partners. We had experts from the Wisconsin Historical Society, Film and Theater Research, the University of Wisconsin Archives, Wisconsin's iSchool. So we had a good mix of people who were there to talk about different things. Then my main point is that these are the students. We had more, but these are the people who were there for the picture. And the thing that I wanted to say about students is that we spent a lot of our time trying to get volunteers, and they all said, we're not experts. We can't do this. This is something that students did. They put these together to give out at the event. This was all compiled by first year Archives students. Just the basics of taking care of stuff that you might have at your home. And everybody loved these. People took some for their friends. People took some for their mom. And they all thought that we bought them or had them commissioned by somebody. But the Archives, the first year students did it. And it was really great because they were terrified that they were going to lead people wrong. With 16 people come, which is kind of somewhere between being successful and being not as successful as I wanted, Madison is small, and I'll talk about a little bit of why 16 is great here. So what I would change to get more people, Wisconsin is a big football town. And I think my next slide is actually, so we had Star Wars Day at the library the same day. The first thing I would change is to make sure I look at the schedule. We planned it in a month. We didn't know that Star Wars Day was the same day, but it turns out more people would rather read with stormtroopers than go learn about film. The other thing is that Wisconsin is a huge football state. We planned it on an off day for the Badgers, and it didn't matter. People still went to the bars to watch the Badgers, so maybe something in the spring would be better. Another note was that the audiences that we were trying to reach, especially genealogists, aren't always available in the fall they're traveling to do research, and that maybe another month, like a winter month or a spring month, would have worked out better for us and there's no football. Another thing we as students want to do is take it around the state. We wanted this to be people coming from everywhere, but Wisconsin is huge, and we couldn't reach everyone we wanted. Advocacy is not about your convenient area, but about the larger people. But my main point, I think, is that this was all done by students, and they continually fought against me and said, well, I don't know anything. I can't help you do this. There's no way, but students know things. And I think using them to do more than just processing or more than just data entry and actually getting them involved and stuff is great. They know stuff. They want to help. That's why they're in school. So, thanks.


Palma-bi-chi-cardi, Santa-li-lu-mi-mari. Hidina, di-tossi, la-vindorei, dnd-о-vel-ini, come back to our channel to do some Corbin. Reck and he's false. Instagram, Twitter, Twitter, and Chusekonset. Chusekonset, I'm a big fan, so I'll keep you posted. Make it S'quit''''BAM! It's also our first YouTube channel. Links in the description below. Oh, it's still going, yeah. Today, we're doing a movie review. We do those on this channel. Every once in a while. Yeah, at least usually twice a week Along with all of our other stuff. Yep We are reborn a copia of reactionary confections a our third off some needs. Yes Our second Rima Dots film. Yep. This one is bull bull can I think so. Okay. Well, it's probably much more pretty and yeah I don't know. That's bull bull. I don't think it's southern is that one. Yeah bull bull Hey mobile can sign and it's sign sign Go wash mobile Mobile can sing by Rima Dots written by Rima Dots directed by Rima Dots cinematography by Rima Dots editor production design Rima Dots all the roles by Rima Dots She was an incredibly shape-shifting. There are some Dots is in this well like village rock stars very much It's a it's a Dots family. Can I just say something though if there's ever a person if you ever like man I just don't have the means or or the production or whatever to make a film Rima Dots might have some questions for you As would Quinton, you know Because Quinton Tarantino was working at blockbuster video and he was making his first films on his off weekends With whatever money he had and when he ran out of money He just stopped that weekend and over the course of two years just filming on the weekend with his friends made his first film So, yeah, you want to make a movie make a make your movie. That's exactly what you that's just do it Yep, but anyways 100% spoiler view is just how we like to do things go watch it. It's very short 190 basically 190 minute. I'm not 100 mean 90 minutes And it's on Netflix at least in the United States. Yeah And just go support regional smaller independent cinema Yeah, as well from regardless of the region whether it's awesome ease Gujrati Whatever just go support it and watch them in their original language with subtitles in the language, you know and Yeah, if you haven't seen it and as always is the case and let me just watch the movie first So then come back and hear the review because we don't want to spoil it for you But when did this come out? I tried in 18. Oh, so it's actually relatively recent more recent. Yeah, okay Your initial thoughts. Yeah, I got a paragraph. Good Someone could watch Bobo can sing and assume it is simply a depiction of rural life in an Indian village Or maybe assume that it like Village Rock stars is simply a coming-of-age story Don't underestimate it like that. This is much more than a coming-of-age story If Village Rock stars was about the quiet yearning inside of a maturing young woman who hopes to see her dreams come true Bobo can sing is a silent screaming inside of every one of us Wishing to see our truest and best selves somehow survive the malicious assailing of our identities in the name of unchallenged traditions mindless legalisms and fear-based superstitions I Have more I want to share that I can read later on but for me It's a movie that I Have a lot of say but just as a takeaway. I thought this movie was fantastic. Yeah I actually think I enjoyed it more than more than Village Rock stars. Me too. Well, I guess it's taking nothing away. No, it's just You can relate more to this character than you can the little girl Obviously because one Some terrible stuff happened in this for multiple people in this like I said if you haven't seen it Please once again, stop just go watch it once again It's a short movie just like Village Rock stars is which is equally worthy of your time there But they're really they're very complimented each other. You think yeah And my wife watched it with me and she also watched Village Rock stars And she said she has a distinct style very about and I was like I don't know if it's just because budgetary is that's the reason the style is right or right now Obviously, she's not she's new and so it could just be these two that is because these are the only two of hers We've seen but they are very complimentary They could eat that could easily be this young girls Upringing at the beginning and then this is more of her. Yeah This is the more mature incarnation of the same kind of an issue but again like I said Where the other one was more about the coming of age of a singular girl Yeah, I felt like this was a much more universal story and it was also a Lot Village Rock stars was very subtle. This was even more subtle There were some lines in this that were deeply profound that if you weren't really paying attention You could easily just walk I could see people watching this movie and thinking to themselves Well, that was nice that just depicted, you know, a little rural village in India Mm-hmm and because they weren't paying attention. Mm-hmm. There's some deep Deep stuff and it had a lot to say now about one subject either. Yeah, like that that whole conversation There was a lot if I just made you I think Movie watch not too long ago. It was also like that. It was like culturally. It was like What? for a lot of times but that whole conversation when the men were sitting around talking about Love and like the Shiva and and on all that. Yes I wrote down the whoa and then the women talked about that conversation. Yes, and They're like they're almost like putting themselves down like saying what do we know? Yeah, they said at one point the man having that conversation They said they they meaning the young people are misguided by modern thoughts. It's not correct before marriage And I wrote down correct according to what? Mm-hmm. You know that the whole well Yeah, when they started beating them up the that hole that one shows the Wonderfully shot. I would give remand us all the credit for making that a very uncomfortable scene and she drug it out She drugged that out on purpose on purpose switch To her credit.  You're destroying our culture I think is the word he used.  Yeah, it was something and what I loved about that sequence was that it wasn't just blind Unbridled fury of everybody because she stayed on it so long in the way that they were going about it Remedoss made you know They were this was not just a momentary lapse of reason. This is the way they do things. Yeah When you break this rule, this is the response you get and you deserve it And it was hard to watch that and then the subsequent Conversation at the school that they were arguing. Yeah, they deserve to be expelled because think of the reputation of the school Right, these people were just together, right and that is so awful It's it was I mean we know it's cultural and I totally understood what she was trying to say Of course, of course, but it's still too especially a Western modern mindset. It's just so For lack of a better term foreign. Yeah, that that that mindset of wait these kids are They like each other. They aren't doing anything bad outside of being together and and contextually You're using the word foreign in one of the uses because it has two uses that can be used Foreign can mean from another people group in land where you're a foreigner You mean foreign in terms of that is very Different than what I would expect normal behavior to be and we've seen that in other films before of course that and so it Wasn't I wasn't confused by it and I wrote this about two things that the movie shows how Universally how beliefs world view biases prejudices and superstitions are so deeply ingrained into the very fabric of every moment of our everyday lives and the act of changing mindsets is as difficult and revolutionary as the transforming of an entire Culture and that there are more prisons without bars than with them The the subtlety of something just the symbolism for example of them looking at the pictures with them in front of The Taj Mahal or by the Empire State Building Not just that they made those pictures that was them dreaming But the fact that he says to her we need to hide these mm-hmm in fact the very thoughts we're having Are dangerous? We can't let them know we're having these progressive thoughts because if we do we're gonna be in a lot of trouble for it I just thought it was such an intelligent Movie that again like so many movies. We've seen like this The people who actually need to see and learn from it the most are Gonna be the ones who see at the least and that's that's bothersome to me because the other thing is that One of the things it talks about is the difference between young people versus older people Mm-hmm, and I wrote this down What young people lack an experience in wisdom they make up for in vision and daring Mm-hmm old eyes see the world for what it's always been and what it ought to remain But young eyes see the world for what it is and what it ought to become And this is why getting old has nothing to do with biological age getting old is a mindset Mm-hmm, and Einstein said great spirits have always encountered violent opposition for mediocre minds And the the silent scream there's so many movies. I asked the Sipindrani like Think of a movie There's many of them that have in it a Person who is a great spirit, but the culture and the society around them just destroys them And often destroys them before their voices even heard. That's the kind of film I think Bobo can sing. Yeah, I think he did a great I'm trying to look for a quote here that it just reminded me of David Bowie quote I think it's from the changes He said but the but the days that see But still the days seem the same and these children's that you spit on as they try to change their world are immune to your consolations And I can't find the rest it cut off.  That's a great quote It's summer Yeah, our immune to your consolations. They're quite aware of what they're going through once again If you don't know who David Bowie is I'm sure you do. He's a worldwide artist, but it's possible. But it's possible He he has a bunch of Great songs, but yeah, that's that's one of my favorite quotes of any song Yeah is because it's so powerful then and it's still powerful now. Yeah, it's a lot of times older people try to control the world in every Culture really and and the younger people who should really be the ones in charge in Trying to change and move the move forward forward, but a bunch of people don't want anything to change So it kind of goes to this film as well. Yeah, but I thought that Not only was Bobo a great character I thought her friend to gay the gay character beautiful heartbreaking because you know why he ran away, of course, right? Because I was actually happy that he did because I didn't want I didn't I didn't catch on that He was the lookout at that time not me neither But when he ran away, I was okay good because I thought they like if they found out that he was there I mean he was gay.  I was like really can you can you blame look what he did to you? What do you think they would do to a gay man? Right exactly like Yeah, she's a little kid But that's why this film was so complex And so there was a lot of layers to a lot talking about kids growing up and at least in this as a means culture and then Also the adults who her perpetuated in the fact that these adults who punish these kids They shouldn't be shocked that this little girl and believe killed herself. Yes, that's what that's exactly what I thought Like you ridicule this girl for being a little girl, right? What do you expect her to do, right? Exactly, and I I love the metaphor of Bobo can sing because it represents everybody in the film and it represents the entire universal message that Rima Doss I think is saying in the film and that's that's the fact of you know Her dad was the one who was pleading and saying she can really sing She can sing but everyone else was ridiculing her and whenever she tried to sing in front of them. She understood a blue Understandably Couldn't be herself because of the constant that she was getting. Yeah, but when she's by herself and That's that's the takeaway of if you really got to know somebody and get your Prejudices and your assumptions and your cultural biases off You'd realize that they actually are contributing something beautiful if you really took the time to get to know them like her Dad did but I also thought that Rima Doss did a very good thing because while we want to be at the cutting edge of the Forefront of the young and the progressive and those who are Revolutionary and evolving everything forward. Yeah, there are things from the past that ought not be forgotten And at the end of the film when she's there and her mom's doing her hair Mm-hmm, and she just says to her very simply you need to oil your hair It looks like you don't care and it's damaged Mm-hmm is a really great reminder of you know what we've been we've been doing this all of our lives and There are some things we've been doing that aren't rooted in superstitions and fears. We do them because we've learned They're actually what's good for us So don't throw the baby out the bathwater Don't become like in the namesake. Yeah, don't become like him where you forget where you came from and recognize You know what we've some of the things we've been sticking to that are tried and true If you just kick them all away, you really will be damaged and you're gonna lose the benefit of what you should have Embraced in your your heritage, but for the most part, it's the other end of that.  Yeah, I smart man. I've really enjoyed this film like I said, it's extremely short, but Just like Villa droxas and Villa droxas was a 125 minutes. Yeah, and they're really just beautiful now or 25 minutes They're very both of those films are very similar and we gave this as a compliment before the Florida project is the kind of feel where more is shown than said and But this one again had a higher level maturity for me and the performances I was reminded because I'm sure a lot of these folks are not experienced actors and you can get some of the greatest performances from experienced actors because They often times training can be somebody's worst Problem, yeah, because they've learned enough To fake it. Yeah, and then they have to unlearn that's that's the path of training for an actor Is you start to train and you learn all these tools and then you have to forget them? Mm-hmm and untrained actors if they're directed right Don't have all that baggage and I believed everybody in this all the grieving mother. Yeah, I thought she was Great, it was such a hard scene one. I don't know why anybody wasn't giving her CPR I had the exact same I'm assuming I was like I guess they this part of the country hasn't often seen because we grew up Even if you're not trained in CPR, you know, it looks like anybody who has been in water and ground Every movie TV show everything. It's do you know CPR who's gonna do the CPR? Yeah Yeah, so I was just assuming I was like, I guess they they don't know that I don't know because like anybody here Even though it's it is a dangerous thing if you don't know how to do you gotta know how to do it You do have to yeah, but like even if like somebody didn't I feel like somebody would try At least the compression you can out the mouth even now they actually they don't do mouth to mouth for CPR That's actually been taken out.  Yep She has to be CPR certified when she worked at the spa. Yep. I was one CPR sort of fight I worked for a first aid company for a few years and oh, yeah It was it was strange for me But it was so sad and I thought it was actually brilliant how she did it because she was just playing in the water And then the very next scene was somebody pulling her out of the water. Yeah Like it was like you didn't give you a second to even because I didn't think that's what she was doing I thought she was just playing and then you were like, oh, no Mm-hmm. That was so I thought it was room a dodge.  You really are you're such a fantastic I can't wait to she's only done a few films Which is really impressive and I'm wondering if she's getting more Budget, yeah, I don't know if she wants it Well, and I want to know what other projects she has under her belt in terms of stuff She's written and is ready to it look to start to launch It looks like after because she did village rock stars was well man with the binoculars was apparently a first in 2016 Okay, then village rock stars Then Bulbul can sing and then she in 2019 she did neighbors and then 2020 she did something called kids in glory it doesn't There's no even cast but and there's multiple directors Maybe that's an anthology. Also, it's oh, it's a documentary. That's a documentary. Okay, so I'm guessing she partly directed That neighbors the budget says a hundred dollars. Hmm She's not even a director. She must be producing that. Yeah. Oh, no, it's multiple again, but anyway, but look our next one's For each other. I don't know. It's it's just impressive that one. She does everything and Because this once again looked beautiful. They look like it was shot with a 4k camera It looked like yeah, there was a scene where they were the kids at the opening of the film He's up in the tree and she's down on the swing and I knew by the way They had shot the thing either it was perfect timing with her editing or she was a two-camera shot But when you do a two-camera shot, you know, you can't just have two phones You have to have the exact same camera. Yeah, and Then when you're in the editing suite, you have to make sure color corrections exactly the same But primarily you need to be using the same equipment.  Watch this film Talk about Rima Doss. Talk about Rima Doss Let us know what's the next Asami's film. All three Have been fantastic 100% out the man. They've been stellar with Ames and then Ames I think is is the more fun one. It's it's definitely fun. An unusual twisted Yeah, so that that whole story is what really draws you in for sure These artistically of a cinematography wise and everything are I think overall even better than that But that story is obviously more intriguing to the wider mass absolutely just because it's it's so unique and fun But they've all been so good. So let us know what's the next Asami's film we should watch down below


So, while complex numbers are the solutions to quadratic equations, we have an arithmetic of complex numbers as well. It's convenient to view i as a variable so that all of our standard rules of algebra apply. So, for example, we can add 3x plus 5x to give us 8x, where we add the coefficients and keep the variables. Similarly, we can add 3i plus 5i to get 8i. Likewise, 12x minus 3x is 9x, same variable, subtract the coefficient, and likewise, 12i minus 3i equals 9i. Multiplication is similar, but we can simplify a resulting product by remembering that i squared is equal to negative 1. So, if I have x times 3x, I get 3x squared, and I can't do anything else with it. If I have i times 3i, I get 3i squared, but remember, i squared is equal to negative 1, and so this i squared can be replaced with negative 1, and so my final product is negative 3. So, for example, if I want to expand 8i times 5 plus i, I'll multiply those out using the distributive property. That gives me 40i plus 8i squared, but remember, i squared equals negative 1, so this 8i squared becomes 8 times negative 1, and we can do a little bit more arithmetic. And my final answer, 40i plus negative 8, or we typically write the real part of the complex number first, negative 8 plus 40i. We might have the product of two complex numbers, 3 plus i times 2 minus i. Multiplying this out, we get 6 minus 3i plus 2i minus i squared. We can simplify this minus 3i plus 2i, and i squared equals negative 1 allows us to simplify, and we get our final answer, 7 minus i. An interesting case occurs when we multiply 7 plus i times 7 minus i, and here's the thing to notice is that except for the plus and the minus, these two complex numbers have the same real part and have the same imaginary part. When we multiply them out, we get 50, and the thing to recognize here is that even though we were multiplying two complex numbers, our final answer was a real number. And this leads to the following definition. Let z equals a plus bi be some complex number. The conjugate of z, written z bar, with a little bar over it, is a minus bi. So for example, let's find the conjugates of the numbers 7 minus 3i, 4i, and 8. So we know that the conjugate of a plus bi is a minus bi, so we want to write our numbers in that form. 7 minus 3i is 7 plus negative 3i, and so our conjugate is going to be 7 minus negative 3i, otherwise known as 7 plus 3i. How about 4i? We want to write this in the form a plus bi, so 4i can be written as 0 plus 4i, so the conjugate will be 0 minus 4i, or just minus 4i. And I want to write 8 in the form a plus bi, so 8 is 8 plus 0i, so its conjugate will be 8 minus 0i, or just 8. We need the conjugate to be able to divide by a complex number. Let u and b be complex numbers. Then u divided by v is going to be u times the conjugate of v divided by v times the conjugate of v. The importance of this is that because we multiplied v by its conjugate, we are now dividing by a real number. For example, let's say we want to divide 3 minus i by 7 plus i. So our definition says we have to multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. So our denominator is 7 plus i, the conjugate is going to be 7 minus i. So we'll multiply numerator and denominator by 7 minus i. Our numerator, 3 minus i times 7 minus i, is going to be, and our denominator will be 7 minus i times 7 plus i, and we should end up with a real number, in this case we do 50. And so the product 20 minus 10i over 50, but we need to express this as a complex number, so we'll split our fraction. And now this is in the form real number plus a real number times i. There's an optional reduction of fractions at this point, but that's not a precalculus problem. It's actually an arithmetic problem. And we can divide 8 by 5i, so we need to multiply by the conjugate of the denominator. Since 5i is 0 plus 5i, then the conjugate will be minus 5i. So we'll multiply numerator and denominator by minus 5i. In the numerator we get 8 times negative 5i, that's negative 40i. In the denominator we get 25, and we want to write our number in the form number times i, so we get our final form negative 40 over 25 times i, reduction of fractions optional.


I'm afraid I've got some bad news for you. Wait, wait, wait until I'm through and then you can all talk it over. I'm sorry, I have to tell you that Jim Bennett has been robbed of the payroll money. Well, what about our pay? Just a minute, just a minute, keep cool. It'll all be paid every cent you've got coming to you. But not the money. I'm afraid I've got some bad news for you. I'm afraid I've got some bad news for you. I'm afraid I've got some bad news for you. I'm afraid I've got some bad news for you. I'm afraid I've got coming to you. But not today. Now listen folks, now wait a minute, listen. We've always worked together on things and I'm sure none of you will fail me now. I'm going to have to make some investigations naturally. Meantime, meantime I'll have some more money sent over and you'll all get your pay tomorrow. I'm sorry to be a day late but I'm sure you'll all bear with me. Sure boss. It's okay with me Governor. All right folks, that's all. Go on with your lunch now. Still on folks? Hello Mr. Randall. How's the new act coming along? I think it'll be ready to put on the show pretty soon. I hope so Mr. Randall. Awful about the robbery. Was Jim hurt? Isn't that like a woman? Always got the worry about someone else. Not seriously Patsy, just a bump in the head.  Did you see anybody Randall? I'm afraid I'll have to keep your remarks confidential for the presentation. And by the way, drive by my office after you've had your lunch. You can count on me. Well we'll see. Goodbye Patsy. Just a minute Mr. Randall. Yes Jason. I'm not hungry now and if you don't mind I'll run along with you now. Fine, proud to have you. Gee this is terrible. Yes I'm afraid it is Jason. What about Bennett? Well I didn't want to upset Patsy but he was pretty badly knocked about. Has he seen a doctor yet? Is he there now? Jerry happened to be on the spot when I discovered the thing and he's gone with him. Good. What's on your mind Mr. Randall? I just wanted you to identify something for me. Here's my office. Step right in will you? Identify? What do you mean? Well here it is. Do you recognize this? Sure. Well that's the gun I reported lost. That's mine all right. I thought so but I wasn't quite sure of the number. Oh don't touch it. I'm keeping it wrapped in this handkerchief in case there might be fingerprints on it. Look part of the handle has been knocked off. Yes yes I know. Was it like that when you last saw it? That's happened since I last used it. You don't say. Good heavens you don't mean. You certainly can't think I've had anything to do with this business. I don't want to think so Jason but where were you from eleven thirty to twelve thirty this noon? Well I I guess I was taking a walk before lunch. That's fine. Who were you with? I wasn't with anybody. Well certainly someone saw you someplace. What part of town were you in? Gee Mr. Randall I went out the other way into the country. I went right along the railroad tracks and when that noon train passed me I headed back here for lunch. You mean you haven't anyone to vouch for having seen you? I'm afraid I haven't. Pretty tough Jason.  I don't want to think so. Is there anything I can do to clear myself? Bring in the real culprit. If you don't think I'll try that you're crazy. But don't go off this lot. I'm sorry but I'll have to keep you under surveillance until this thing is settled. That's fair enough. Got any tips to give me? I'm afraid not Jason. After all you're a suspect until we can prove someone else had this gun since you claimed to have lost it. Okay. I'll prove I'm innocent if it's the last thing I do. Mr. Randall. Mr. Randall. Oh hello Jason. Hi Jerry. What's on your mind? Gee Mr. Randall. The doc says Mr. Bennett's got to stay in bed. No. Jerry. Sure? Yep. Says maybe he's got a concussion or something and Bennett says he won't stay in bed. He's going along with the show and he's raving something terrible and calling for you and well so I came as quick as I could. I'll get down there right away. Oh by the way Jason I wouldn't repeat our little conversation. Well of course not. I'll talk to Barney and he'll see that everything is going along as I want it. I understand. He's a good policeman. Yeah that's right. Well I'll get down to Jim. Sorry I left the lock this door now so you better come on out you two. Okay. Bye Mr. Randall. Well hello. Good bye. Gee you're in this excitement. A real hold up on everything. Yeah a little too exciting. You won't be mad if I ask you something. Of course not. Well Mr. Bennett and Mr. Randall. Yes Jerry. Well they seem to think that gun. Belong to me. Yeah how'd you know. Because it does belong to me. No I can't Jason. I'm sorry I'm afraid it does. Gee I. Oh but don't worry Jerry I didn't pull that hold up. Golly I. Someone stole that revolver from me before you even joined this circus. Yeah Mr. Randall said something about it but they well. They said it all might be a plant. What's a plant. Oh just a plan. To pretend I'd lost it so when something like this turned up I wouldn't be to blame. Carly you know everything don't you. I sure wish I did. But for one thing I've got a good suspicion. I've got to see bumps maybe he can help me. He's pretty good at thinking things out isn't he. Yeah he is. Well here's the wagon. Bumps say bumps. Oh hello there. Well hello Jason any news. Bloody is Lorenz around. No why. No Decker. No as a matter of fact they went into town today. You ought to be getting back here soon though it's time to be getting to work. Now listen bumps I'm not trying to put an idea in your head but you dressed in the same wagon and I just wondered if you'd ever noticed either of them with a gun. Can't say they have. Anyhow they aren't allowed to have guns. Why. Well I you don't have to know where they were around noon today. They weren't at lunch you know. Sure we know don't we bump they went into town we saw him go. Yeah that was just about eleven or maybe a little after. Well it looks like they're not clear then doesn't it. Oh you mean about the robbery. Yeah. You see my gun was found on the floor. Yours. And it just happens that I was off in the country taking a walk all along and I'm the new one to prove where I was just at that time. Jason that's bad. Yeah it's tough but I'll manage somehow. Well I guess I better get ready from the act I go on pretty soon. Don't let it get you down Jason there's lots of things can happen. I'm finding that out so long folks. Hi Jason. Ah gee bumps we just got it clear Jason. Well son looks as if we need a good detective around here. What would all that alfalfa disappear and now the bankroll. Gee these robbers aren't afraid anything they go off with truckloads of things at night and money in broad daylight and light in front of everybody. Here's your chance to do a little super sleuth and Jerry. And I'm sorry but I gotta get in and finish dressing. Those knife throwers better be getting here pretty soon. That looks like Decker now. Where. Down near the side shows. See with the beard. Oh yeah yeah good that's him all right. Well I'll be seeing you son. Rags. You and me are going to be detectives. But we mustn't let anybody know it. Just bombs me won't tell. Carly you're wonderful Rags the way you pick things up. I think you're a knockout.  Honest it's a wonder it doesn't swing you instead of you swinging it. Hello Jerry. Hi Decker. What's this a conference. It sure is Rags and me will we got big big business.  Well I guess we can't tell you. It's official business you know and kind of private. Oh I'm sorry sir I didn't mean to be rude. Yeah I didn't mean it that way Mr Decker I was just. I know I know I guess I can take a hint. Oh gee I forgot I've got to get these knives and go over and meet Lorenz. Lorenz gonna make up. He's already made up when we got back from town we stopped by our compartment in the train and he fixed up there a little. He was kind of tired. I'm going into town. Oh well I guess I better get those knives. Well hi Decker. Hi bumps I gotta hurry Lorenz is waiting for these knives. He kind of keeps you hoppin doesn't he. Well I work for him he's boss. Well they're all kinds of bosses you know. Well I got the knives I guess I better beat it. Why Jerry I thought you'd gone to bed. Well I did but I can't sleep. Well what's the matter. I just can't get things out of my mind. What kind of thing. All the money and the Elf Elfin. No listen Jerry even detectives have to sleep. I know but listen bumps I won't disturb anyone. Lorenz and Decker were asleep they didn't even hear a sleep. Can I just go out on the back platform and sit for a while with Rags. Yeah that's kind of late now I just get up to get a drink of water. Everyone on the trains asleep. I know but but we'll be quiet. Well okay son but mind you don't stay too long. There'll be another big day tomorrow you know. Lots of buckets to carry a robbery or no robbery. I know thanks bumps we'll be good won't we Rags. Don't answer me now just let me talk. Well that's certainly taken an unfair advantage. Good night. Night bumps. She isn't a swell out here. Golly I love to be out in the middle of the night. You don't do. I don't blame you. Golly it's most morning though. I don't see anything. Let me look around. Oh so that's it. Certainly does look funny. Right over there by the horse tent too. Can you see those shadows. Something sure enough moving. Golly what do you think we'd better do huh. Okay we'll call someone I know. Let's get Jason. Not so loud. After all he's in a bad spot. If he can catch the real burglars I think he should don't you. Stop it not so loud. Come on now quiet. Let's see I think Jason's compartment is right near the sand. Yeah I guess this is it. Yeah yeah who is it. It's me. Who's me. It's me Jerry. What do you want in the middle of the night. Come on in. Gee Jason something's going on over in the circus lot. What on earth are you talking about. Honestly I'm not kidding. Right around the horse tent. What. Rags and me we couldn't sleep so we went out on the platform. All of a sudden rags started to growl. And there's sure enough I could see something moving around the horse tent. Well maybe you've discovered something. Come on we'll sneak out of here and find out what's what. Let's see my flashlight. And my my gun. Okay Jerry come on.
