JUST FOR THE KIDS.

e; The other day Mr.. - and
his little boy made a special visit to
+; the Palace and this is just what hap
opened: He approached the manager
with the statement that he wanted
to have a talk with us about the way
/: we had been treating the kids at the
Palace. He said that the kids were
{. just crazy to go to the movies, but
{: we would not show them anything
4; they liked. He was pretty severe in
/: his remarks, and we believe he was
about right. So after lengthy dis
cussion and a heart-to-h heart talk we
finally decided to arrange to take
+; care of the children in a better way
if the children will help US. You see,
: pictures for children cost a lot of
money, and we know a child ought
not to pay more than a nickel, so it
will take whole heap of them to
make expenses. We told him that
during school the children could not
come out at night, but he politely in
formed US that school was over now
and the children are at liberty to have
a good time, and he would see that
] they did, even if he had to get out
and bring them to the Palace in
drove.
Our policy of running the Palace
is to handle only the best, and we
realized that we could not devote an
entire day to children because there
are not enough of them in Dawson.
So the condition of affairs resulted in
the fact that we had to arrange one
day in the week any way that the
kids would like as we'll as the old
folks. So he and the manager lock-
ed themselves up in the Palace and
] began to go over all the motion pict-
ure literature that we could find, and
we arranged the most wonderful COM
bination possible. So the manager
got busy at once and made a contract
|! to have every Friday night in the fu-
! ture comedy night. He secured the
best comedies he could find, and they
are comedies that father and mother
will enjoy as we'll as the children. So
our friend left the promise that he
would see that in the future the Pal
ace will be full every Friday with
father, mother and all the family.
On the strength of that we will offer
the following as the opening comedy
attraction:
The first Friday to be devoted to
comedies will be Friday, June End.
and this will be what appears on the
program:
"MY VALET" featuring Raymond
Hitchcock, Mack Sennett and Mabel

MRS. K. S. WORTHY HOSTESS
TO THE DOROTHY WALTONS

Mrs. K. S. Worthy was the delight
full hostess to the Dorothy Walton
chapter of the D. A. RS. at her home
on Lee street Wednesday afternoon.
The hall, dining room and parlor
were unusually attractive with red,
white and blue spring flowers arrang-
ed to convey truly patriotic idea.
A tinge of sadness was felt by the
entire chapter as we realized that this
was the last meeting over which our
retiring regent, Mrs. R. L. Saville,
would preside, who with her faith
full corps of officers has served so
successfully for the past two years.
But we felt that we were indeed fort
innate in securing Mrs. H. A. Wilkin-
son for our new regent, under whose
management we are looking forward
to prosperous year This being the
last meeting of the chapter before
disbanding for the summer and the
regular time for the election of Off
GERS the following were named for
the next two years:
Regent, Mrs. H. A. Wilkinson; vice
regent, Mrs. M. C. Edwards; record
ing secretary, Mrs. R. D. Smith, cor
responding secretary, Miss Alma Nc
Lain; treasurer, Mrs. ]. D. Tweedy;
registrar, Mrs. Julia Nasworthy; his
torian, Mrs. Moses Harper; genealo-
gist, Mrs. W. H. Gardner, Jr,; chap
lain, Mrs. X. S. Worthy; reporter,
Mrs. T. D. Wall.
A request was read from the w.
C. T. u. that we cooperate with them
in observing a sane Fourth of July.
This was most heartily met with, and
the following committee was ap-
pointed by the regent to assist her on
this occasion: Mrs. R. D. Smith,
chairman; Mrs. R. B. McLain, Mrs.
M. H. Harper, Mrs. George McLain,
Mrs. K. S. Worthy.
A pleasant feature of the meeting
was our retiring regent presenting

Norman, a three-reel comedy of
laughs and screams.
Also "a GAME OLD KNIGHT" a
two-reel Keystone comedy featuring
the funny Eddie Foy and the seven
little Foys.
A night and afternoon of the fun
niest possible comedies. So, children,
do not disappoint US, but come, ev-
eryone of you, and bring father,
mother and big sister and brother
with you The admission price will
be only and 10 cents.
If this day proves successful we
will a little later give you another
day week, and it will consist of the
best serial made, "The Girl and the
Came" and a funny comedy, "The
Mishaps of Musty Sufferer" If you
want the second day week be sure
to patronize the first.

WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and building tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs, Tryit.

STONE CASTLE CHAPTER
COMPLETES BEST YEAR

So full of uplift and inspiration
have been the meetings of the Stone
Castle chapter D. A. R. that the close
of the fiscal year brought genuine
regret to each member. The May
meeting held at the home of Mrs. j.
D. Weaver was we'll attended. A
number of elderly women were pres
ent as guests of honor, Mothers Day
features being tender and touching
tribute to these appreciated visitors.
The meeting was opened with the
stirring song, Georgia Land, My
Georgia Land" Roll call brought
out interesting information regard
ing county sites of the state. The
regent, Mrs. T. C. Geise, promptly
despatched miscellaneous business.
The treasurer's report showed the
chapter to be on a sound financial
basis, although activities and expend-
itures have been greater. '"There is
that scattereth and yet increaseth."
The various committees have been
vigilant and all made gratifying re-
ports 1t is a matter of congratula-
ton that the officers were reelected,
their faithfulness and efficiency being
fully recognized. While sincere re-
greet is felt over the resignation of
Mrs. Shields, whose minutes have
been one of the inspirational features
of each meeting, the chapter counts
itself fortunate to have the place fill
ed by Miss Louise McNulty, one of
the youngest and brightest members
In expressing thanks Mrs. Geise mod
estly gave credit for the advance in
chapter work to the loyalty of the
members, but each one knew that
without the wise planning of our tai
ented leader such progress as we have
made would have been impossible.
Eighteen new members have been
added to the roll the past year, and it
is expected that work along all
lines the coming year will be more
far-reaching and effective. At the
conclusion of the business session the
meeting was turned over to Mrs. R.
E. Bell, and a continuation of the
study of Georgia proved interesting
and profitable. "The Capitals of
Georgia" as presented in paper by
Mrs. Clifton, was full of interesting
history. Selections on the victrola
varied the program. The full beauty
of Ella Wheeler Wilcox's poem, isis
ters of Nine" was brought out by
Mrs. McNulty. Van Dykes tribute
to his mother was effectively given
by Mrs. Weaver. Mrs. J. S. LOwrey
read a tribute to motherhood that
met a responsive chord in every
heart. Mrs. Weaver's home was
| frightened with garden flowers in
pastel shades. Cake and cream in
pink and white were the delicious re-
freshments. Mrs. A. J. Carver, who
has been for several months at hel
winter home in Florida, received
with Mrs. Weaver, and was given 9
hearty welcome. Mrs. Rogers Car.
yer and Miss Sarah Thomas assisted
in serving.
In looking back over the years
work we realize that he best things
cannot be summed up in words. The
/ broad and beautiful spirit that has
permeated every undertaking, the
unity of purpose that has made ev
cry effort count for good in the com
munity.

ERADICATION OF CORN SMUT
Only Method Is to Cut Off Smutty Stalks and Burn Thcm-No
 Treatment of Seed.

By O. NJ. ALLYN, Illinois Experiment
 Station.)
 There is no treatment of seed corn for smut. The spores which cause smut in corn live over from one year until the next in manure, soil, refuse, etc. In the summer, under favorable conditions these spores which may have wintered in the soil or may have been hauled to the field in the manure. find lodgment on the tender parts of the corn plant, usually by the action of the wind. and start to grow.
 The source of the spore is not the seed corn, therefore, treatment will do no good. The only method of erad- ication is to cut off the smutty stalks and burn them. This, of course, is i'm practical.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agrculture)
 "Low-yielding acres, like boarder COWS. are often fatal to successful farming" according to J. C. Mcdowell of the office of farm management, United States department of agricul- ture. in the new year book. Our farm survey records show that areas of poorly drained, compact and sour soils, or soils low in humus, greatly reduce net profits. Sometimes these records show that as much as 30 per cent of the entire farm acreage does not produce enough to pay it's way.
 One farm in Wisconsin, on which records were recently taken, has 40 acres of poorly drained land that in it's present condition is practically worthless. Twenty-Five dollars per acre spent in drainage will make this 40-acre tract the equal of any in that district, and good land is selling there at s150 per acre. A small portion of similar land on this farm has already been tile-drained and is now produc- ing a fair profit on each acre so i'm proved.
 The successful business man al- ways tries to weed out all unprofitable enterprises and to expand those that pay a profit Unprofitable acres can not always be disposed of as readily as boarder COWS, but usually they can be improved until they become profit bearing If the income from such land 1 cannot be increased it is quite possi- ble that the labor spent upon it can i be reduced until the income at least pays a little more than the cost of labor
 ltemize Before Purchasing. ] "In buying a farm, unprofitable acres that cannot easily be made prof table should ordinarily be considered as having little or no agricultural value. They may even be a burden i to their owner, in which case they have a negative value. A farmer was about to buy quartersection farm
