Lens Illusions \ Enhance Comedy By no means a one-man film but a film only one man could make is presented in Universal’s hilarious feature, “The Invisible Woman,” now playing at ths Dolly Madison Theatre. Only John Fulton, the young technical expert who created “The Invisible Man” in 1933. could furnish the astonding pho tographic effects which make the new picture one cf the most unusual comedies in screen his tory. Starring Virginia Bruce, John Barrymore, John Howard, Char lie Ruggles and Oscar Homolka, tbe production presents as its central figure a beautiful dress model who is made invisible and who uses the power of her in. visibility to cut capers which are said to rank among the most laugh-provoking cinema antics of all time. Edward Brophy, Donald Mac Bride and Margaret Hamilton have prominent supporting roles and other performers include Shemp Howar dand Thurston Hall. A. Edward Sutherland di rected and Burt Kelly was as sociate producer. We sell Eye Glasses to Sat isfy the eyes $2-00 to SB.OO THE NEWELLS Jewelers Roxboro. N. C.

Tuesday, March 4 when Sargo, 1940 International Grand Cham pion Steer is to be exhibited at Alexander Tire Division, Main and Gregson Sts. This newly-crowned king of beef animals will make a special stop here on his nationwide tour visiting 4-H Club meni oers, Future Farmers of America, agricultural colleges and farmers interested in live stock, under the sponsorship of the Firestone r arm Service Bureau. The tour is made for the benefit of the hundreds of thousands, who were unable to attend the International Live Stock Exposition in Chicago, and the special showing here is planned to have the greatest educational value possible. An interesting talk on the development cf Grand Championship form in beef cattle will be given by Rank C. Forbes, who is a veteran cattle judge, breeder and feeder. He will also discuss profitable methods of beef produc-| tion and will describe the points sought out by judges in picking: a winner. Sargo is traveling in style in his own private truck, acc. mpari ied by a crew of three who cater to his whims day and night. To keep him as nearly as possible in the condition and conformation 1 which won him International honors, his diet is controlled to the! ounce and his exercise, which consists mostly of roadwork, is laid out as carefully as for a champion boxer. In this way rigors of hundreds 'cf showings and the variations in drinking water aia effectively counteracted. Sargo’s feeder and handler in the International show ring was 18-year-old Evelyn Asay, a college freshman of Mt. Carroll, Illinois. Taking care of Sargo was her 4-H Club poject for the summer, and she showed him several minor championships before she took him to Chicago and entered him in class after class. He defeated over a thousand other steers, many of which had been pampered, fed and shown by veterans. Tears came to Miss Asay’s eyes when Judge J. Charles Yule gave her the final ribbon. They came again when sne sold Sargo to the Firestone Farm Service Bureau, but she added a request, “Will ycu tour him like you did Mercer?” The Grand Champion was given to the Champion Farmers’ Association of America, ar.d they are cooperating in the nationwide educational tour.

C. Railroad Reports Big Industrial Year In 1940 f ■ | j Roanoke, Va., Feb. 25—Nine j teen-forty was the biggest year lof industrial developmnet in the \ j territory served by the Norfoh; ! ar.d Western Railway in any twelve month period during the past decade, T. Gilbert Wocd, N. j & W. industrial and agricultur I al manager, said in his annual report, released t:day. i ! j Last year saw the establish j ment of 236 new plants and ad- j | ditions, vr ith a total capial in-1 vestment of $229,808,357 and employing 48,177 persons. The 1940 report shows an increase of 37 plants over 1939, increased capitalization of mere than $2lO, - 000,000 and 41,000 more workers. The latter figure does not include! employees engaged in construe -j tion of national defense projects. Commenting en the pprospeets for this year, Mr. Wood said, “We are anticipating, during 1941, a continued increase in en largements of many existing plants and the establishment of i a creditable number of new in-; j dustries in the territory served i by the Norfolk and Western.’' | Poining to the steady indus trial development along the rail road, the report gjves the num | her of industries established dur ing the past ten years as follows: 1931 - 145 plants; 1932 - 180; 1933 - 152; 1934 - 168; 1935 - 195, . 1936 - *O4; 1938 - 158; 1939 - 199; 1940 - 236, or a total of 1,833 in dustries and additions. These in dustries employed 131,574 per sons and had a capitalization of j $385,257,679. j Workstock Proving Valuable Agricultural authorities esti mate that 95 percent of the 71,- 000 horses and 305,000 mules on North Carolina farms are infest ed with internal parasites of various kinds, says C. D. Swaf far, N. C. State College profes sor of animal husbandry. Greatest amount of damage and the most widespread is being done by the large and small round worms. Bots are also ex tracting heavy tells in the Pied mont and mountain areas, al though they do little or no dam. age in Eastern Carolina. A farmer can usually tell his workstock i s troubled withj worms by t h e -following--symp toms: less of body weight, loss c. appetite and digestive troubles, especially colic and weakness atu lack of ability to withstand hard work. In order to combat this prob lem, horse and mule clinics wer ■ held recently in many -counties, State College Extension Service as well as c.unty a f;ents, veterinarians, and other] agricultural workers cooperated i in the movement. Since Decern-! her, more than 1,000 horses and mules have been treated. Not only have the animals been treated for worms, but den tal work, such as floating the teeth, extractions, and cutting extremely l’cng teeth, has been done. Management of the horses' and mules in putting -control measures into effect has also been discussed at the clinics. ~- - j For the treatment of internal! parasites, Swaffar said, b o * h ' phenothiazine and carbon tetroJ i chloride have been used success-! fully. In some cases, carbon bi sulfide is used, particularly in the treatment for bots. Phenohi-I azine. because of its less toxic' effect, is rapidly gaining favor among veterinarians.
