AT THE THEATRES
At the Majestic.

Frederick Perry, who plays the
title role in William Fox's latest
dramatic success, "Dr. Rameau" is
regarded as one of the foremost dra-
matte artists on the stage today. Mr.
Perry comes to the William Fox or
ganization directly from his unprece-
dented personal triumph in "On
Trial in which production he was
the bright, particular star. 1t was
his work, more than any other ele-
ment, that made for the remarkable
success of that play, success that
was the more marked in season
where real successes were few and
far between
In "Ir. Rameau" William Fox has
given Mr.. Perry vehicle that is
stronger, if anything, than anything
he has ever done before. The char
acter of DR.. Rameau is a complex one,
and the mastery Interpretation that
Mr.. Perry gives is one that will be
remembered as one of the most i'm
pressive pieces of acting ever wit
messed.
This is the first time this picture
has been shown in Ardmore, and it
is said to be one of FoX's best.

the following points:
A sanitary cow barn requires but

providing an abundance of fresh air,
vent shafts of sufficient capacity to re-

WINTER LAYING HENS.
Two year-o Odds Are the Best and Most
Reliable.


The appropriate feeding and housing
of hens for winter laying are matters
which must have constant attention
from all DESTROYS of securing good egg
supplies at this season, writes w. r.
Gilbert in the Farm Journal. For win
ter laying hens must be specially fit
ted, as no amount of good treatment
will keep the egg baskets going fully
In the short days. One of the worst
classes to depend on are the overold
hens. Too young pullets are nearly as
unreliable. Those who know them
individually may pick out hens that
will lay well up to three years old, but
very, very few of them are worth
much for laying after that age is at
tanned.
The ideal winter laying hen is a
two-year-old. All ~two-year-old hens
should be well over the mott and ready
to lay in October. They will start with
renewed vigor and with every natural
advantage in their favor. They will
lay the fullest sized eggs with regu-
larity and of maximum numbers
through the winter. Many pullets are
very disappointing in commencing TO
lay in winter. Their age is not much
of a guide. A very reliable indication
of good layers is when they begin egg
production at about seven months old.

Food For the Farmers Brain
POTATO

IL is not generally known that
best potatoes come from seed
obtained from a far distant
point. w. A. Orton, a United
States department Of agriculture
pathological, says that a large
part Of the territory Of southern.
south central and western states
obtains better results from seed
potatoes grown near the north
ern border Of Maine, New York,
Minnesota and other northern
states.
Replanting diseased seed po-
tatoes in the same localities
merely brings poor stock. Fresh
potatoes from distant points, mi
nus blemishes, will cure the evil.
The fact that newly irrigated or
recently deforested portions Of
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michi-
gan are being planted to pota-
toes makes the Information more
valuable. Seeding these new
patches with sick or blemished
potatoes spells failure for new
growers.
The essential thing here M
elsewhere is healthy seed pota-
toes, preferably obtained from
distant points. Thus II a garden
has been blighted with bad seed
potatoes, it may eventually be
purified by better stock, cultiva-
ton and fertilization.

Against the vague impression of his
