DEMAND here FOR
ANOTHER BAKERY

Two thousand dollars of Americas
Money, it is estimated, is sent an
nually to neighboring city for bread
which, it seems, might be baked here,
supplying not only the local demand
for the staff of life, but that of small
err towns in the Americas territory,
all of which, like Americas, buy
bread elsewhere.
Americas has a bakery, of course,
but the capacity evidently is not suf-
ficient for the demand and some To-
cal dealers get their daily supply
elsewhere. The matter of sending
away $4,000 a year for bread might
seem a small one, but this sum might
be kept at hime as easily as not by
the establishment of bakery that
would meet the local demand and sup
ply that of Plains, DeSoto, Leslie, e.
laville and other towns in this To-
cality.
Many small industries and enter
prises add to citys growth, anil
Americas needs many such. And not
the least of these is a model and
modern steam bakery.

HIGH STANDARD OF
PRODUCTION MAINTAINED
Popular COhaD viii Be Here
Next Tuesday Night

The producing manager who makes
strike with some production whether
of the straight or musical kind-suc-
cess which means the presentation of
the piece for several successive sea-
sons, ought in a spirit of gratitude at
his good fortune to maintain the orig
inal high standard of his offering dur
ing the lifetime of the play. More
often, however unmindful of his good
luck, and thinking only of false econ
omy, he is apt to cheaper the produc-
ton, engaging less expensive players
for the various parts and staging the
piece in inferior fashion.
The reverse is true of Latimore &
Leigh, who present George M. Cohans
very successful and unique musical
comedy, "Forty-Five Minutes From
Broadway" at the Opera House 90
Tuesday, Nov. Goth, with Bert Leigh
as kid Burns" and Hazele Burgess in
the role of Mary" the maid who
! lived in New Rochelle, just three
quarters of an hour distant by train
from New York City. Not only do
Mr. Leigh and Miss Burgess measure
artistically and vocally up to their
predecessors, but the entire support
ing company is one of the very best
quality. In this play, the offering
loses nothing at all through it's age,
but through the infusion of new
blood gains materially thereby. Added
to which is the fact that it is piece
which has been tried and found to be
of unusual merit, its third year being
conclusive proof of this Advt)

Jonesboro, Ark.-"I suffered a com.

not do any work. 1 tried different
remedies, but they did me no good.

In the past fifty years, thousands of

to tell of the benefit received from
Cardui.
Such testimony, from earnest women,
surely indicates the great value of this

women. Are you a sufferer? Yes?
