Atlantic Motor Oils are not prescribed as

correct lubricants for all makes of motors.

"THE 5LUDGEoN" AT
TIE PALACE TODAY


There are plenty of tense, gripping
situations in the five-part screen dra-
ma "The Bludgeon," which is the next
release on the Equitable program at
the Palace Theatre, and will be shown
today, Behind the dramatic episodes
of the play and in fact their main
spring, is a story of love, social am
bition, ard the whole group of passions
which naturally surround a woman
who endeavors to live beyond the
means her husband is able to provide.
Kathryn Osterman, the star of the
play, as the ambitious and foolish wife,
finds in Paul Armstrong; successful
drama plenty of scope for her histri-
Onic powers, and uses them to the ut
most. Between the opening scene in
the little cottage where she, her hus-
band, and their small daughter Rose
are living, and the finale, where they
have returned to the cottage as to a
haven of rest from the false glitter
and the dangers attending an attempt
to achieve society standards, there is
a constant succession of incidents, ev-
cry one Of which tells its story and en-
forces It's moral.

WARREN KERRiGAN AT THE
THEA1ORIuM TOMORROW

Those persons who imagine the life
Of a moving picture star is a bed of
roses should face the daily task which
confronts J. Warren Kerrigan, star in
the fye-reel Broadway Universal Fea-
ture drama "Landon's Legacy which
will be at the Theatorium tomorrow
Kerrigan is unquestionably the most
popular moving picture actor in the
country today. Every morning on his
arrival at Universal City he finds from
100 to $50 letters from all parts of the
world where his handsome features
are known to the patrons of the motion
picture houses.
Now Mr. Kerrigan appreciates these
epiStles most of which are of a con-
gratuatory nature, and answers them
all. He doesn't resort to a post card
or regular form letter acknowledging
their receipt, but sits down and writes
an individual letter to every one of his
correspondents. Each letter contains
something different and requires a
separate answer. .'
This he erdeavors to do, and when
writer asks some question concern
ing the making of moving picture plays
the Universal star makes it a point to
answer that inquiry to the best of his
ability Although this mass of cores
pondence cuts into his hours Of relax
alton. it has become a sacred duty
with him to answer the letters, and
those who know Jack" well, can as
sure yoa that he never neglects his
duty.

l5O CLUB BOYS
 AND GIRLS HERE RALLY AT COURT HOUSE
Is Attended by Large Number of Faulkner County Farmers and
 Their Sons and Daughters.

About l50 boys and girls, mem bers of the various Faulkner county agricultural clubs, together with their fathers and mothers in large number, attended a rally given at the court house here today. Extreme heat tending, but the circuit court room was practically filled during the speaking this morning, and the United States agricultural department repre- sentatives here to attend the meeting expressed themselves as being well pleased with the attendance and in terest.

COTTON RECEIPTS WERE 25,325 BALES 2I.S97 BOUGHT LOCALLY Conway Buyers Purchased During Year Just Ended 4,OOO Bales More
 than COunty's Ginning.

Approximately 4,O00 bales of cotton We're purchased on the streets of Con way during the cotton season ending yesterday more than were ginned m Faulkner countw from the crop of l9lo. This IS the greatest difference m the history of the city and shows the rapidly widening sphere of Con ways trade territory.
 The total receipts ol cotton in Con way for the year, all of which were handled through the Conway Com press Company's plant, were 25,3Z5 bales, as compared with 25,606 for the preceding year and 30, 725 for the year ending August l, 1914. Of the past years receipts 2l,S97 bales were wagon" cotton, purchased by Con- way buyers, and 3,428 were railroad" cotton shipped here for compression.
 Shipments for the year just closed were 25,258 bales and the stock on hand at the compress is 1,214. Ship ments for preceding year were "A 1855 and the stock on hand August 1. 1915, was 1,247 bales.
 From the crop of 1915, according to the United States census bureaus re- port, 1906 bales were ginned in Faulkner county. This is 3,989 bales less than were marketed in Conway, the surplus representing cotton brought here from other adjacent counties. The ginning for the past year was the smallest since 1909 but the Faulkner county crop, including the high value of the seed, brought much larger total return than the crop of 1914, which amounted to 23,- 068 bales. The largest number ever ginned in the county was from the crop of 1913, which was 25,306 bales. Ginnings for other years since 1908 were as follows 1912, 20,685 bales; 1911, 1S,029 bales; 1910, 1859 bales; 1909, 14,639 bales.
 The present years crop is at crit ical stage of development just now and the outturn will depend largely upon weather conditions through Au- gust. The plant is suffering for want or moisture, especially on thln up- lands and should the drouth be ex- tended much longer it will unques- tionably result in a sharp decrease of the yield. On bottom lands the cot ton is not yet damaging seriously, but is needing rain. Should a general rain occur within the next few days and the weather continue favorable thereafter, it is probable that Faulk- ner county will produce the greatest cotton crop in it's history, as there has been a considerable increase in acreage this year. On the other hand, continued unfavorable weather condi- tions might yet easily reduce the yield to figure considerably below the average of recent years.
