There isn't a dull moment in it, and I these kids are clever enough to send I you out with the feeling that you wish you had stayed for another show so as to .see them, again, but don't for there will be people packed in the lobby waiting for seats. The Lynch Trio have played all the large cities in Dixie. Atlanta, Birmingham, Memphis and all the others have seen and approved their splendid act and they have repeatedly returned to these places for return engagements. Their act is strictly up to . date, with the newest songs and dances, while the kids themselves are ap pealing and artists in their line. But with this look what is coming tomorrow.

Five reels of the greatest drama flashed on the screen this year, and the best kid act in the country tor j ten cents that graces the minstrel stage. It Bert Swor was alone the comedy ot the company would be acceptable, but backing up Swor with such sterling names as Joe Coffman, John Healy, Harry Shunk, Al. Sexton, Dennie O'Neil ,Joe McCarty, Billy Doran, John Barry, Charles Nolan and a half dozen others the fun should be of the kind that makes laughter continuous. Al. G.

The new production is said to be the best that Bud Fisher has contributed to the stage and gives "Mutt and Jeli ' plenty of opportunities to show just how funny they can be. - - At the . matinee special bargain matinee prices will prevail.

Two of the loveliest young girls in the world of motion pictures are the Thanhouser twins, Madeline and Ma rion Fairbanks, who are being fea tured by Edwin Thanhouser in the four part Mutual masterpiece, "The Flying Twins." In this elaborate and popular production any number of circus scenes are shown and Mr. Thanhouser hired a whole circus in which to take them. In the menagerie that went . with the circus were two enormous African elephants, and Ma deline and Marion took a fancy to them at once. Immediately they saw them the two girls crawled under the ropes and began stroking their trunks. The elephants' keeper, when he dis covered what had happened, was hor rified. He coaxed the girls out of the enclosure and then told them that one of the elephants was notoriously ill tempered, but the two girls imme diately informed him that they had found both of them to be as gentle as lambs. ' "The Flying Twins" will be shown at the Ottoway theatre Thursday. Catawba to Enforce Law. Newton, Sept. -15.

It is hoped that the new system will free the country schools from a menace that - has dogged them for years. A. jy"YKc4 Z ZgMr f 2 nT"- f Parkton Store Robbed. Parkton, Sept. 15.

Her rescue by the prince of Kurland in a terrific hand to hand encounter, presents much dramatic interest in a story which is replete with surprises. Interest accumulates to the last mo ment of thep lay. Ann Murdock is the star of -this production. The role of the princess has. tremendous scope for emotion and Miss Murdock is un derstood to have found the role quite within her ability. rlfp Yeggs Crack Wilmington Safe. , Wilmington, Sept. 15.

It is also found that the bought feeds consumed are much higher where the smaller acreage is devoted to pas ture. The proportion of the home grown feeds used on the farm is also greater with the, smaller pasture acre age. In fact it looks like the .farm ers are simply going into the live stock business by simply puttip a few more animals into the pastures already on hand."

Pom stock farms the ones that are really making money are the ones which have good pastures, while those de pending largely upon bought feeds are either losing iriOney or barely paying expenses. It would seem that the pasture is one of the most important items for the stock farmer to. consid er, for this is the cheapest way in which live stock can be. produced. "We see this reflected in the cotton seed sold from the farms studied. The general crop farms raised 19,789 bushels and sold 5,755. The stock farms raised 8,754 bushels and only sold 501 bushels. The general crop farmer can sell one-fourth of his seed while the animal industry man can only part with one-sixth." Hickory Library Association - Reor ganized.
