LYRIC TO GIVE BENEFIT
PICTURE
On next Wednesday and Thursday
the Lyric Theatre will show "Ham
and Eggs at the Front" as a special
benefit picture for the Sylva Base
ball Club. The Baseball Club has'
arranged to have a number of young ;
ladies make a canvass of the town'
and community in sale of tickets for J
the benefit show and the tickets will I
be on sale Saturday Monday; Tues
day ; Wednesday and Thursday.
Ham and Eggs at the Front is said
to be a side-splitting comedy of thej
war featuring blackface comedians j
in the trenches with Tom Wilson;!
Heinie Conklin and Myrna Loy as1
the principal actors.
There have been many stories told I
of the grim side of the war but not i
mauy realize there were just as many
funny ones most of which will re- 1
main buried for a long time. The
story of "Ham and Eggs at the
Front" written by Darryl Francis
Zanuck for a comedy film for War
ner Bros, is one of these stoVjes done
into comedy film which presents the
experiences of two members of a ne
gro regiment at the front played by
two black face comedians Tom Wil
son and Heinie Conklin. The uniform
could not protect them from the
feat's which superstition creates in
the hearts of every negro. They suc
cumb to their belief in ghosts rabbits
feet and flie lure of women as does
many a white brother. Unlike a lot
of white folks however they work;
out of their jams gayly creating,
some of the funniest motion pictures,
ever made.
Another feature of the show 011 ,
this date will be the first chapter ot'j
the Lyric's new serial picture "Th??
Jungle Goddess" as well as the usual
two reel comedy and the news reel.
The usual admission charge of 10c
and 25c will be made.
ROTARIANS WILL BACK WORK '
FOR CRIPPLED TOTS
The Sylva Rotary Club ai its week
ly luncheon ineetiug at the Potluck
Tea House Tuesday voted unani
mously to underwrite the clinics for!
crippled children of the county and;
authorized president Candler to so no i
tify the proper authorities of the 1
State Board of Health andMiss Elea- !
nor Ormond the county health nurse. I
The ortho|H'dic clinics will be held ,
in Sylva at which time the children !
with defective limbs will be exam-1
ined by experts from the state board j
nf? health and all of them who can
be benefitted by surgicial or other
treatment will be given the benefit
of such treatment.

GROW BEEF CATTLE
SAYS LIVESTOCK MAN
Raleigh, N C. August 15 ? No other |
section can produce good quality beci}
cattle more economically than the
South, and North Carolina in par
ticular, for the reason that lands are
still cheap; grazing is good; the
pasture season is Iqng; feed is pro
duced at low cost anj^jiot much shel
' sideline to crop f^armihg."
t4For these reasons we can start
in the cattle business in this State
with less capital thai) any other sec
tion" says Fred M Haig animal hus
bandry worker at State College. "Out
of the twenty-five million acres of
farm land in North Carolina, six
million are being cultivated. This in- j
eludes nil of our pasture and hay
land and thus there must be plenty >
of land left for grazing. Most of the |
161000 head of beef cattle now in the^
State are found in the western part;
where the land is rough and grass
grows readily- Still the eastern por
tion also Offers possibilities to tin
man who may grow his beef as a.i
sdeline to crop farming."
Prof. Haig finds that many crop
farmers of the east are already turn
ing to dairying with success and he
believes that the raising of a few
beef cattle would add to the income
The small amount of labor required!
would come in the fall after crop!
work is over.
i
Feeding beef cattle works along j
well with hog growing and the manure .
secured will add to the fertility of
the land.
However Prof Haig cautions the
beginner to start slowly and gradually !
add to his beef cattle herd as hej
becomes more familiar with feeding
and marketing method**. One sure!
rule to follow is not to attempt feed |
iii? more cattle than the corn and
hay grown on {he farm will supplv. {
In many sections where cattle feed
ing has been started the grower
starts with only a few animals and
markets his. surplus loc?Uj>.
market is net satisfactory he may
combine with a neighbor and ship a>
car to the larger livestoek markets |
This name method is being used sue (
cessfully by hundreds of swine grow ;
ers all over the State.
EASTERN STAR TO HOLD
DISTRICT MEETING
The Eastern Star of the 13th Dis- ?
trict will meet at Brysoji City on
August 31st for an all day meeting
The recitotary -requests all members
of the Sylva chapter to be present.
Dinner will be served by the Brvson
City Chapter
Tom Tarheel says the best part
of August is the time given to pi<*
nics, barbecues, swimming parties
and all day preaching.
TUCKA8EEGEE BUNS HIGH
ASHE BRIDGE WASHED OUT!
Heavy rains for the past few days
raised the Taekaaeigee river to it*
highest point in' recent years Wednes
day afternoon and Wednesday night
'doing considerable damage to crops
io lowlands and washing out at least
three bridges, The new bridge just
completed by the county a few weeks
ago at the mouth of the Ashe branch
between Sylva and Cullowhee at a
cost of approximately $5000.00 was
washed from its piers Wednesday
night and is lodged a short distance
below the site of the bridge. The,
covered bridge across the river above |
East Laporte and the bridge across
Tuckaseigee at the mouth of Way
ehutta are both gone it is reported
this morning. ?
The superiority of the climate we.-t
of the Balsams was again demonstrat
ed as highway No 10 from Sylva to
Ashevilk and the Murphy Division of
the Southern are said to ve the only
roads leading into Asheville upon
which traffic was not disturbed re
callng the days of the flood of 1910
when the Murphy Division was the
only means of traffic into Asheville
from aqy direction and proving that
the mountain barriers not only pro
tect this immediate region from heat
and cold but also from windsstorms
and extreme flood conditions.
