A FEATURE PICTURE TONIGHT.
Neil Burgess Great, Country Fair to
Be Seen at the Grand.

"The County Fair" is as we'll
known to theater-goers as rip Van
Winkle," "Uncle Toms Cabin or
The Old Homestead" To the jaded
brain tired city man it's story is as
sweet as a breath of new mown hay
or the scent of sweet clover. 1t takes
thousands back to their childhood
days in rock-ribbed old England. Dear
old Aunt Abby (made famous by the
late Neil Burgess), the typical spin
ster whose heart is as soft as her
tongue is sharp, whose home was tee
refuge of pretty Sally Greenaway,
who loved the stalwart young farm
er Joel Bartlett, and who worked ''the
farm on shares with Aunt Abby. We
see Aunt Ably take to her heart the
mischievous, slangy little city wa;f,
"Taggs," who has been sent to her
from New York and who turns out to
be her dead sisters child. We see
the life of the farm in the bright June
days, the corn husking, the country
dance in the old red barn, see Tim
the Tanner training the farm horse,
which he has entered in the running
race at the County Fair" unknown to
Aunt Abby. We see them driving 10
the Fair" all dressed up in their go
to meetin'" clothes and see the race
between the flying thoroughbreds, sec
little Tim riding like a demon on
Cold Molasses" now in tee lead,
then pocketed under whip and spur
forge ahead in the stretch and dash
Under the wire a length to the good,
the winner of the purse that pays off
the mortgage on Aunt Tatby's farm.
This great picture will be shown
at the Grand tonight.

"I think the Cuticura Remedies are the best remedies for eczema l have ever heard of. My mother had child who had rash on it's head when it was real young. Doctor called it baby rash. He gave us medicine, but it did no good. In few days the head was a solid mass, a running sore. It was awful, the child cried continually. We had to hold him and watch him Ito keep him] from scratching the sore. His suffering was dreadful. At last we remembered Cuticura Remedies. We got dollar bottle of Cuticura Resol- vent, a box of Cuticura Ointment, and a bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave the Resolvent as directed, washed the head with the Cuticura Soap, and applied the Cuticura Ointment. We had not used half before the child's head was clear and free from eczema, and it has never come back again. His head was healthy and he had beautiful head of hair. I think the Cuticura Ointment very good for the hair. It makes tho hair grow and prevents falling hair.'' lSigned) Mrs. Francis Lund, Plain City, Utah, Sept. 19, 1910.

TWO CIVIC BODIES
 MAY CONSOLIDATE
Chamber of Commerce Will Unite With Freight Bureau of Merchants
 and Manufacturers

The Chamber of Commerce has opened negotiations preparatory to effecting the consolidation of this organization with the freight bureau of the Mer- chants and Manufacturers association through action taken by the board of directors of the former association at meeting held yesterday afternoon in the directors room of the Chamber of Commerce building. The board au- thorized President Richard W. Massey to name a committee from the Cham Der of Commerce to confer with the board of directors of the Merchants and Manufacturers association as to the advisability and details of arranging for the union.
 The freight bureau was established through move on the part of the Chamber of Commerce in 1908 as an af- filiated institution of that body and a department of the Merchants and Man ufacturers' association. It has been under the supervision of a board of directors who are members of the Chamber of Commerce and conducted as a separate organization. The reasons for formally welding the two is that both are engaged in the promotion of the civic welfare, the bureau seeking to secure better freight rates and schedules for the public as well as the individuals composing the Merchants and Manufacturers association and the additional strength certain to result for both from the joining of forces. The board of directors of the freight bu- reau, with the assistance of the man. ager. ]. T. Slater. have been granted many verdicts beneficial to the district in their suits against freight trans portation, and will probably continue as the Chamber of Commerce commit tee in charge of this department The board of directors of the mer- chants and Manufacturers association includes H. w. Coffin. who is also pres ident of the association and chairman of the railroad and transportation com mittee of the Chamber of Commerce.; A. H. Ford, w. H. Stockham, John Nor riss, R. A. Porter, H. M Beck and Sidney W. Lee. The committee of three to be named from the Chamber of Com merce will be appointed at an early date by President Massey.
 The Chamber of Commerce directors meeting held yesterday afternoon was characterized by rapid transaction of their affairs and among other matters list of new members was accepted unanimously by vote. These are Jerry Gwin. county engineer: Douglass Me- Queen, c. E. Handy, D. E. McLendon. deputy tax collector; James G. Miller, F. D. McArthur. c. M Goodman. W. F. Mclaughlin, George c. Oliver
 The reports from the finance com- mittee of the Chamber of Commerce banquets to oscar Underwood and the travelling men were received and audit ed. After a brief general discussion of other matters the board session which was we'll attended adjourned until after the new year.

TO BE NO CHANGES
 BY EXCISE BOARD
Commissioner Wilkinson States That No Bad Reports Have Been Made
 i- of Any Saloon

If the entire excise commission reels the same way toward present holders Of retai, saloon licenses as Commissioner E. Wilkinson. no changes will be made for 1912. MT. Wilkinson said yesterday that the commission had not received a com rlaint of any consequence as to any re- tail man, and that he believed that they were making a fine record as far as obey ing the laws was concerned. MT. Wilkin- son said despite the host of complaints received by the commissioners as to some of the operators, there was little room to doubt but what every effort was being made to keep the excise laws in good re- pute in this community.
 we have no complaints to speak of against any of the retail saloon men" said Mr. Wilkinson yesterday, and if the entire board sees it as do. there will be no changes in the retail holders next year. They have made an excellent rec ord so far and have endeavored, take it, to assist this commission in keeping the laws I am told that all the saloon men financially are doing pretty well, with a few exceptions"
 Referring to blind tigers, MT. Wilkinson gave this as his view: "The presence of blind tiger operators is felt chiefly on Sun day, and in the rural districts. When the regulated saloons close on Sunday, and while the legalized places are as dry as Sahara, tho blind tiger men get busy. Of course, the rural districts have their same old shops We are now devising ways to eliminate these, places, and be- l;eve we will finally round up the greater part of them"
