TIM M COTTO BE AT DOLLY MADISON Plays in “Border Caballero’’ For One Day Only, Saturday, July 25th. Tim McCoy, the screen’s most popular Western star, fills the ex citing role of a Federal Government G-man, operating against a horde of bank-robbers, in his latest bi„- thriller, “Border Caballero,” spon sored by Puritan Pictures whirh is due Saturday as the leading attrac tion at the Dolly Madison Theatre. Critics who previewed this picture have gone on record as estimating it as the fastest-moving and most thrilling film this noted hero of gun and saddle has appeared in up to date. Which is high praise from the press, if one takes into considera tion the long list of brilliant box office successes that stands to Mc- Coy’s credit. Bandits’ Last Stand Certain it is that few slims of this type equal “Border Caballero” in point of cylclonic action and shock situations. There are numer ous, vividly staged gun battles of such grim savagery and realism that the spectators are kept constantly on the keen edge of suspense as bul lets fly like leaded hail, and one nerve-shaking episode follows close on the heels of another. Particularly exciting is the scene in the finale where the band of bank robbers Mc- Coy trails in his official capacity of a Federal agent, are trapped, corn ered, and go down to a bloody de feat fighting desperately to the last against the sheriff’s posse brought in by Tim at the last to assist in the outlaw roundup, with the arch villian of the gang falling a victim to the Government leader’s deadly aim. Because “Border Caballero” deals with a later stage in the history of the far West once described as “wild and woolly,” it may be that some movie patrons may be inclined to consider the story a trifle exag- ■ gerated as regards the existence of bandit gangs in the wide open spaces, as ready as were their fron tier predecessors in crime to rob, raid, plunder and snuff out human lives with reckless abandon. o Picnic Supper Given At Lake The Willing Workers class of Brooksdale Me.

Lew Ayres appears as rdHio’s Little Boy P«?£P, sharing the featured leads with Florence Rice and Benny Bak er.

CHARLES RUGGLES IN “EARLY TO BED” AT THE DOLLY; MADISON Supported by Mary Boland in Pic-j ture That Plays at Local Theatre Monday and Tuesday, July 27th and 28th. Mlary Boland and Charlie Rug gles make a sanitorium and rest home their honeymoon spot in their latest riot-farce, “Early to Bed,” scheduled to open Monday at th’e Dolly Madison theatre. The veter ans of many hit comedies are cast as a couple who marry after an engagement of twenty years, and set out immediately on a trip which brings one ludicrous situation af ter another. Charlie appears as mouse-like Chester Bqatty, an employe of twenty-six years standing with the Matchless Eye Company, manufac turer of a dozen types of glass eyes. Mary, as Tessie Weeks, is the girl whom he has courted for two de cades. ! Despite Tessie’s desire to see Niagara Falls, cherished for twenty years, Chester, fired with ambition to land the world’s biggest glass eye order, heads for the sanitorium. He knows Horace Stanton, maker of sextuplet dolls, is spending a vacation there. Complications begin immediately at Lake Ookawookaboogee Lodge. A jewel robbery and a murder, with Chester suspected as a sleep-walk ing ‘Tiger Man’ by night, make honeyoon a succession of guffaws. o All crops in Union County will be late this year, as a result of the drouth, but now that the dry spell has been broken, most of the crops have made a fair stand.

Clayton, Mgr. PAY YOUR Privilege Taxes And Avoid Penalty CITY OF ROXBORO COUNTY OF PERSON GOOD SIRES PAY SHEEP GROWERS Idcil Ram is a Purebred Mutton Type With Deep Body. Tests conducted at the North Carolina Experiment Station have proved conclusively that lambs sir ed by a good purebred ram will bring around two dollars more per head than lambs sired by a scrub ram. The sire is half the flock, says John E. Foster, associate in animal husbandry investigations at the Ex- I periment Station. | Since the breeding season has al • ready started in eastern Carolina | and is rapidly approaching in the j western counties, Foster explains! that much time and thought should be given the kind of rams which will be used in farm flocks. The ideal ram for North Caro lina, he points out, is a purebred mutton type with a broad deep j body and such development of the head, neck, legs and body parts that the whole conformation sug • gests symmetry, thickness compact ness, quality. In addition he should , be of good masculine, rugged, thrifty, and have a desirable fleece,! especially ff any of his ewe lambs! I are to be kept in the flock. It is highly important, Foster ex , plains, that the ram as well as the ewe be in a strong vigorous condi tion during the breeding sbason. If! they are not, immediate steps should I be taken to get them so, either by | providing better pasture or feeding ] some grain. When the flock is in a strong vigorous condition the lambs will be earlier, more uniform in age, stronger at birth, and more] twins will result.
