The John Bross Lloyds, of Kinderhook, New York, have taken the Dana farm cottage, on one of the attractive loca tions out that way, and will bring a string of half a dozen horses and ponies, and will remain during the winter. It is intimated that they will university.

It is known as the House of Valienft, and has been so known for well toward a century. The House of Valient is familiar at home and abroad, for it goes to the old world, to New England, to every place where desirable material may be had, and secures the proper equipment for new houses and the remodeling of old houses, with always one purpose in mind, that of making a home that is artistic as well as attractive.

N. ’^^ese agencies are being employed rais ing the efficiency of government, par ticularly in the field of taxation. It is a well known fact that expen ditures of local units of government have increased tremendously in recent years while the cost of federal gov ernment has been decreasing. As a result, taxes have naturally risen. To study this condition, and to find out the cure, research is being found in valuable. The paramount aim of a research survey is to indicate how expendi tures can be made with less waste and to greater advantage.

All indications point to the most active equestrian season the Sandhills have ever known, as the races, polo, the hunts and the bridle., pat^s are all increasing their number of ^oHow^w^ and the suitability of the sandy coun try for horses is becoming all the time more widely known. The horse will never probably reach the point of being a competitor for the golf field in point of popularity, but it is becoming a highly prominent feautre of Moore County winter life. VASS-LAKEVIEW SCHOOL TO OPEN SEPTEMBER lOTH The Vass-Lakeview Public School will open September 10th. It is hoped that the school will be larger this year and in position to offer greater educational advantages than ever be fore. Parents are urged to enter their children at the beginning of school, and see that they attend reg ularly, it being very important for the child and the school as well. Most of last year's faculty will return and be in charge of the same work that they were last year. The new mem- as a JtTencb Blue Devil .

Barthelmess has many unusual his trionic opportunites in this picture and, as usual, avails himself of them to the utmost. It is really the first “great lover” role Barthelmess has had in many moons, and it should go down in cinematic annals as one of the most beautiful love stories ever screened. Marian Nixon plays oppo site Bathelmess in this picture. She is a petite, exceedingly feminine type, weighing about 95 pounds and is just the proper foil for Barthelmess, in fact, they have already acquired the reputation as the “greatest love team of the screen.” Another famous screen team comes to the Carolina Theatres, Monday and Tuesday, when Gary Cooper and Fay Wray, co-stars of “The Legion of the Condemned*' fame, will appear in “The First Kiss,” which has been adapted from the Saturday Evening house as it was in the old house. Over at Durham the House of Valient is creating the interior of one of the finest houses in the State and to ac complish its ends it has brought from the famed Grajr's Inn in London much that goes inside the Gray d<Hnicile there. Valients are furnishing and decorating a number of prominent North Carolina houses, and recently hare been looking toward the Sand- hftts.
