BUCKLES
 IN EW PLAY.

TN W '" r6Af
 The first Paramount Arbuckle Com edy, two-act play, in which Roscoe ('Fatty") Arbuckle will make his de- but under the banner of the Para mount Pictures Corporation, will be re- leased this month. The comedy, which Arbuckle himself asserts is the most hilarious piece of screen work he has ever accomplished, has been christ ened "The Butcher Boy"
 Arbuckle has surrounded himself with fine cast of players, chief of whom Is Al St. John. who has been one of "Fatty's" side -kickers for years. In this first production Al has a part of which he has never had the equal, in which he has wonderful opportunity of displaying his inimitable talents and his ''jumping-boy'' propensties.
 Fatty has a brand new leading woman, Josephine Stevens, who, it is said. will take the comedy screen- lovers by storm. She is not only re- markedly beautiful, but of the snappy. vivacious type that is so essential to this kind of work. With her big black eyes and her wewitching mannerisms it is not to be doubted that she will spring into screen prominence from the start.

Dear Sir:

munity, who may be interested. The
plant is operating two shifts of ten

those without previous experience is
$l.O4 per diem for eight hours work.
Operators who have had years ex-
perience, or more, will be taken on
at $2.24 per diem, for eight hours
work subject to ability demonstrated.
Time and half is paid for all over
time, and two hours' overtime can
be put in, daily, by those who adapt
themselves readily, and are willing to
work The maximum earnings may
thus be increased to $3.O8 per diem.
No advance application need be made,
as those who apply up to the num-
ber stated can be Immediately accom-

for both eggs and poultry the coming
winter. He laid great stress on how
fortunately we are situated for poul-
try raising-our climate being such
that we can put off baby chicks each
month in the year and raise them with
little expense or trouble, since we
can grow all necessary food cheaply
and have green feed for them the year
round. He spoke of the value of
corn and COW peas as a balance ra-
tion for baby chicks, laying hens and
fattening chickens for market. He is
anxious that we should cater to the
tourist hotel trade in Florida this
winter, and has kindly offered to
come back and show US how to kill,
dry, pick pack and ship our poultry
We must not think that any old egg
or any old hen packed and shipped in
any old way will bring a good price
One of the things Prof. Hare is try
ing to teach us is to make our pro-
duce look attractive to the consumer.
and by careful handling bring our
produce into demand. People who
pay good prices must have quality.
1t is to be hoped that every men,
ber of the Poultry Association will
make preparation for big egg yield
this winter and that we will have
thousands of broilers ready to ship
in December and January and Febru-
ary. 1t will not do to neglect the
chicks and let hundreds of them die
with sore head, timber neck and other
diseases, as they did last year, when
one hen can be sold for enough to buy
Fer Sui to last year.
The Poultry Association wishes to
thank the woman who complimented
it SO highly when she said, eve used
to enjoy eating chicken in Manning
until the organization of the old
Poultry Association, but now chick
ems cost too much, one cannot enjoy
them any more" Lady dear, do not
wish us bad luck, but the next time
Prof, Hare is with us come to our
meeting and get him to tell you how
cheaply homemade fireless brooder
can be made and the success two
city men had in raising hundreds of
day old chicks in these homemade
brooders. Mr.. Cleveland will tell you
of his success in keeping a few hens
in two piano boxes and being able
to put down eggs in ter-glasses
last summer when they were cheap.
1t is not necessary to have a farm to
raise few chickens and eggs for
ones table.
