Why Tolerate Catanf?

You have noticed, no doubt, that any
cold aggravates nasal catarrh, and the
flow of mucous amazes you that such
Objectionable matter could find lodg-
ment in your head. To ignore this
catarrh when the cold subsidies is
wrong because it continues to slowly
injure the delicate Innings of the nasal
passages and clog them up.
To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos,
trils frequently with solution Of warm
water and salt, insert vaseline on re-
firing, and take spoonful Of SCOTS
Emulsion after meals for one month.
SCOTS acts through the blood to feed
the tissues, and contains soothing
glycerine to check the Inflammation
and heal the sensitive membranes.
SCOTS is pleasant to take.

CLAIMS 'YIDDLE

CRISP COMEDIAN

Two good vaudeville acts feature
the new National theater's second
week bill, which begins with tomor-
row afternoons matinee. They are
Walter De FOria, novelty bag puncher,
and Morris Golden, the "Yiddle with
the Fiddle" Both have just returned
Australia. Both are clever entertain
ers of long experience, and Golden for
years was head1iner in America be-
fore his recent journey to the south
ern commonwealth. .
Edgar H. Thomas, theatrical critic
for the Seattle Times, wrote of his
act as follows: 49,
"The real and regular hit of an en-
tertaining bill at Pantages theater this
week is a young Hebrew manned Nor
ris Golden. There are other attrac-
.tions, of course, but Golden proves the
true favorite.
He IS styled in the billing matter
as the Yiddle with the Fiddle. what
ever that may mean; but Goiden.s
chief claim on his salary envelope
comes from his ability as comedian,
this despite the fact he is fiddler
of ragtime, tunes and an eccentric
dancer rolled into one. Golden wears
the inevitable makeup as to sartorial
display. He saunters on the stage,
makes few droll remarks and then
proceeds to delight the audience to
the point of whistles and cheers by
giving on the violin limitations of the
twitter of birds, the mournful below
or COW and the grunt of a hog. This
done, the actor saws off the sort of
raggy music that talks to- you. He
closes with lively eccentric dance.
But, as before mentioned, it is as
comedian that this youngster shines.
He knows the value of restraint, and
is amusing when he says nothing"
Herbert Winter, eccentric English
humorist, and the Musical Goolmans
will make their final appearance at
the National tonight.

SCENES I|NROLL
AS PETITE STAR
TELLS HER TALE

1t was writ in the advertisement of
the Liberty theater, re Marguerite
Clark and Helene of the North" that
In this production little Marguerite
surpasses all her former Efforts. And
that just about tells the story.
Helene of the North IS an exceed
ingly fine photo-play. Not alone be-
cause Marguerite Clark is its bright
and particular star, but also because it
is unique in photo-dramatic offerings;
because it is handled by an excep-
tiona1ly clever cast throughout, and
because it brings to the front another
handsome young screen star, also a
good actor, in Conway Tearle.
Marguerite Clark is a habit" that
appears to grow on the patrons Of
the Liberty Last night the h ,use
was packed to the doors and Nulaau
street and the adjacent vacant Prop
erty was filled with automobiles.
There must certainly be limit of
excellence for all stars and it would
seem that Marguerite had just about
reached it. Maybe, however, there
are still pleasant surprises in store
for her admirers.
The story of Helene of the North
is story. At a party at handsome
country home in the north of ireland
a young lady is elected TO tell the
first of series of stories at Tell

story of her early life in the rugged

BIG RFDUCTION
 IN COUNTY DEBT

Qate a considerable reduction in
 Aa indebtedness of Faulkner county es compared with one year ago will te shown by the annual report of County Clerk J. A. Lea, which he is TOW preparing for submission to the !g5ying court According to Mr. Lea's records the amount of floating scrip on October l, 1915, was $50,- s71.98, and the amount on October 1, 1916, was S44,831.36. This is a re-
 uction of $6.146G2. Had the rev. enUe for the past year been up to the normal amount still greater decrease would have been shown, but 1ae assessment made in 1915 was lower than for several years. The showing is considered a very good one for County Judge J. w. Holt, Hho has been administering the coun- tvs financial affairs.

SCHOOL FAIR IS
 ATTENDED BY FEW D ATE MISUNDERSTOOD
Causes Confusion and Only Tw, Schools are Represented
 in Contests.

\ misunderstanding among many of the schools of the county as to the dates for the contests is said to be responsible for the small num- her of entries in the first annual Faulkner county school fair, whicH was held here today. Only two of the contests were held. The dates for the fair originally were set for September II and b, but when mem bers of the Conway School and Civic Club asked the managers to post pone 1t until October 19 and 20. the dates of the clubs proposed carnival, it was agreed. Catalogues giving the former dates already had been print ed and distributed. Schools all over the county became confused with the changed dates, it Is said.
 Another obstacle was the inclem. ent weather of the past two days which kept attendance down. How ever, when the program opened al the high school this morning, more than 100 enthusiastic supporters oi the contestants were present Eacl contestant was cheered heartily The following were winners:
 Reading, Miss Tommie Lee SmitI of Mount Vernon.
 Music, Miss Atkeison of Noun Vernon.
 Misses Elbie Davis of Naylor and Frankie Ravens of Pleasant Valley north, participated in the reading contests, while Miss Atkeison had no competition. Each of the contest ants will be given prizes, it was an nounced.
 Short talks were made by Mrs. Joseph Frauenthal, Rev. J. W. Boyer and Prof. J. M. C. Vaughter.
 The contests in athletics were to be held at the fair grounds this af- ternoon. at o'clock. Only two schools are represented, Mount Vernon and Pleasant Valley, north.
 Prof. A A. Parsons of Mount Yer non, one of the promoters of the fair, said today that the fair will be held here next year, and will be on Q much larger scale, Efforts will be made to keep the schools from be- coming confused with the dates. All of the summer schools have closed, and most of the winter schools have not yet begun, to which may be at tributed the small entries, Prof Par sons said.
