Every “Joey” has been selected for his abil ity to please the youngsters, as the management insists upon comedy and laughs that are clean to the last de gree. Walter Goodenough is Mississip pi’s gift to the circus world, and that commonwealth should be proud of its son. Every spring Goodenough comes forth with new ideas and "gags" and always sets' a ‘fast pace for the others that wear the white-chalk. Prominent among the Merry An drews will be found Bumpsy An thony, Otto Griebling, Arthur Bor ella, Paul Jerome, Chester Barnett, Billy Rice, Mai Bates, Dinky Moore, Billy Ashton, Fred Gregory, Tad Tosky, Jimmy Davison, Jimmy Mc Coy and Phil Keeler. Circus fol lowers are certain to recognize the names of famous funsters among this group. Two exhibitions, afternoon and night, will be staged by John Robin son and Sells-Fioto, combined, which is the only big "white top” scheduled for this city. 316 Chain Store Systems Operate In North Carolina N North Carolina has 316 chain store systems, that is, 316 store organiza tions operating two or more stores, the total of such stores being 1,751, while the number on which the "chain store tax” of $50 per store, exclusive of the first one, is 1,435, on which was paid last year, a special tax amounting to $73,165, records in the office of Commissioner of Rev enue A. J. Maxwell show. The "chain store tax” is imposed on all stores of more than one op erated by the same ownership or management at $50 a store. This law was carried to the supreme court of the United States and declared constitutional and fair, after enact ment by the 1929 General Assembly. A previous tax imposed on all stores when there were more than five in a chain was declared unconstitutional by the North Carolina supreme court. OSTEOPATHY is no "Cure All” but it often re lieves when other methods have failed. DR. S. O. HOLLAND 410 Wallace Bldg. Phone 346 Auto Repair Work General repair work on all makes of cars. All work guaranteed. Reasonable prices W. A. Foster At Winecoff’s Service Station (No. 80, 2 miles from Salisbury) -, New Type Radio , O. K., Says Capper! Senator Arthur Capper believes ! that the development of the new air cell radio receiver offers the final solution „o the farmer’s radio problems. “I find, great interest among ■ IU1H1 1U I the new type air I c e 11 receiver 9 for farm use," 9 says the Sena I tor. “It seems i to offer the H final solution to satisfactory re | ceptlon on k f a r m 8 not f served by power || lines. I; “This new p type of air cell I receiver seems 1 to compare fa vorably with I the latest de 1 velopments i n | electric sets in | both quality of I reaction and || trouble -free I service. I be-! lieve they will result in a rap i id growth of the 0 „_American radio Sen. Capper audience and In a much w ider use of radio among farmers." The principal advantages of air cell receivers over previous types of battery sets, in addition to tone quality comparable to modern electric radio receivers, is the elimination of storage bat teries and the expense and trouble of frequent recharging which they entailed. Using a revolutionary type of "breathing battery” for “A” cur rent, the new sets are said to give the rural dweller the same type of radio service previously enjoyed only by persons in cities where electric current is avail able. Although developed a little more than a year ago, the new type sets for farm use are today being made by all leading radio manufacturers. VILLAGE PLANS ’PASSION PLAY* Cholet, France.—In this little vil lage in the Vendee, native region of Clemenceau, preparations are being made to rival the Obermmergau fes tival with a production of the "Pas sion of Jesus,” in which all the roles will be played by local people un trained to the stage. The part of tho Savior -will txr • taken* t>y' the son ' of a local farmer. The play has been written in French, but the accompanying mus ic is wholly German, being made up of selections from Bach. Handel, Beethoven and Mendeleum. This part of France, which is strongly Catholic and even Royalist, is devot ed to good music. Even during the war no ban was placed cn music of German and Austrian origin. Got Over Weak, Painful Condition By Taking Cardui * “I was weak and run-down and suffered quite a bit with pains in my side,” writes Mrs. Nick Bar ranco, of Beaumont, Texas. “I was nervous. I did not rest well at night, and my appetite was poor. "My mother had used Cardui with beneficial result, so I decided to take it. I surely am glad I did, for it stopped the pain in my side and built up my general health. I took seven bottles in all.” For over 50 years, Cardui has been helping women just as this Texas lady describes above. Cardui is sold at all drug stores.
