With it's hundreds of laughs and sur.

With its hundreds of laughs and sur.
prises, its quaint sentiment and dra-
matte intensity, w. B. Patton's new
est comedy, "A Wise Boob" is prov
ing play of remarkable drawing pow
ers. 1t is perfection and the best
of all possible good comedies. The
story is new and entertaining, pre-
senting an entirely original thought
in dramatic possibilities, producing
more laughs to the minute than any
thing seen in years. The character
of John Pixley (The Wise Boob as
portrayed by Mr.. Patton in his own
inimitable way. is a type vastly diff
ferent from anything in which he has
heretofore been seen. 1t is a delight
full character and quite the best he
has ever given US. The engagement
here is announced for Monday, Octo-
Der %, and as usual Mr.. Patton and
his excellent company will be greeted
by large audience.

FOUR FRENCH FISHERMEN
ARE RESCUED Y AMERICANS

BASE AMERICAN FLOTILLA IN
BRITISH WATERS, Oct. 1S.-Four
French fishermen who comprised the
whole crew of the fishing boat Quatre
Freres flour brothers) were landed
here the other day by one of the Amer
can destroyers. The Quatre Freres,
after being stripped of everything Of
value by the Germans, including the
catch of the mackerel, the fishemens
money and food supplies, was sent to
the bottom by bombs from subma-
rine. The four Frenchmen were left
to their fate, $50 miles from land, ia
a small open boat barely large enough
to hold them all.
After rowing for several hours a
breeze came up and the fishermen
hoisted a sail, which spotted on the
horizon by heir American rescuers
was thought to be a submarine and
was fired upon. The craftsmanship of
the Americans was bad at this time
and the frightened Frenchmen hastily
hauled down their sail and waved
white cloth. Half an hour later they
were safely on board the American
destroyer where they were given well
come in the form of good meal and
dry clothes. They could not speak
word of English but one of the
Americans officers knew some French
and they got along handsomely
Ashore here the wife of British
sea captain acted as interpreter She
had lived in France and Belgium many
years and speaks French fuently.
She had the fishermen at her house for
tea. sssi Z
Describing their treatment on board
the American destroyer, one of the
fishermen said:
MY, but those Americans made a
great fuss over us. When we sat
down to eat we had about ten of them
waiting on us. guess they were
trying to show us how glad they were
that they hadn't hit US. We will never
forget their kindness

type familiar in moving pictures, were
set ashore at this village they stood

TERRELL COUNTY IS
RAISING MUCH RICE

DAWSON. Ca, Oct. 1S.-The Terrell
county farmers, or at least some of
them, have added another product to
their scheme of diversifeation and
taken another step toward living at
hame.
Last spring, to further encourage
the farmers of this section to raise
all the food used ON their tables,
Hon. J. r. Mercer bought a large
supply of seed rice and inserted an
advertisement in The News that he
would sell it at cost for planting pur-
poses. He then equipped his large
flour and grist mill with machinery
for cleaning rice.
And now he is beginning to see
the fruits of his efforts in that di-
rection for the public good. Many
planted rice, and the harvest has been
abundant.
A few days ago negro who plant
ed one peck of rice brought guam
tity to mill, and stated that from
one-fourth of an acre on which he
planted that peck he has gathered
81 bushels. Mr.. Mercer has also had
remarkable yield, gathering $50
bushels of rice from three-quarters
of an acre of land on which he SOW
ed three-fourths of a bushel. This
patch of rice was one of the show
places of Dawson, many people com
ing from other counties to see it,

SWISS PEOPLE BEING TAUGHT

BERNIE, Oct. 1S-The war has
taught Switzerland that it is mis-
take to be too dependent on foreign
producers. In order to develop and

first step is to make consumers famil-

this it is proposed to devote a week
in every year to exhibitions OF Swiss
goods, to be held simultaneously in all
