will be rewarded with quite as much
applause as the player who amused
you with them.
'It is in the invention of such in
eXplainable bits Of business that much
of the success of an actor and actress
lies. Frequently we are forced to
laugh by the very stride of an enter
tainer. 1t seems a very natural walk,
perhaps, and possibly it is unaffected.
But more than likely, that actor or
actress has studied and rehearsed it
for months. Quite frequently song
has been made humorous because a
singer manages to do something with
it that makes us laugh. If we only
heard the song and did not see the
singer, it is likely the result would
be different.
'If you take a deaf person 70 a
theater he will be more amused than
one who is blind. 1t is the greater
servicability of the eyes that makes
farce more laughable than comedy,
because the absurd and ridiculous
situations appeal to the risibilities
more than even the wittiest of spoken
lines. a good clown is the funniest
thing on earth-because we see in
stead of hear most of what he does
10 create merriment."

that will darken gray hair and make

small box of Barbo Compound and
u ounce of glycerine. These ingre-
dients can be bought at any drug

"The events on the local
Thirteenth theatrical calendar. The
Chair" last season in New
York produced one or
two really great successes and a
number of "fair-to-middlin' hits, and
the melodrama of mystery by Bayard
Veiller, who also wrote within the
Law" must be placed at the top of
the list. For year it ran in New
York, breaking all sorts of attend
ance records. Then it was sent to
Chicago, where 1t remained for more
than three months. 1t is making a
tour of the largest cities of the East
and Middle West, accompanied by the
confident anticipations of every one
who is interested in things theatrical,
that it will repeat in every other COM
munity the triumph it achieved in
these two great cities.
"The Thirteenth Chair" is a mys-
terry play. 1t gives to that latent lik-
ing for detective work that is the
possession of nearly every human be-
ing and defies it's spectator to predict
it's denouement. Acted by company
of rare skill. led by Blanche Hall, it
is said the story produces thrill after
thrill until it's final and most sur
prising station which marks the fall
of the last curtain.

Little Rock, July 13.--In recognition
of the record made by the people of
Arkansas in food conservation gener-
ally, and as a reward for their sacri-
flee several months ago, when they
returned their surplus flour to the
government, the six pound per capita
rule for the sale of flour has been sus-
pended by Washington and, beginning
Monday, July IS flour may be sold not
to exceed "a pounds in the city and
As pounds in the country.
Only the strict observance and the
promise on the part of the purchaser
to abide by the $3.50 rule, which
means the purchasing and using OF an
equal amount of substitutes with flour,
may flour be sold When the Gus
toner proves to the merchant that ne
or she has a supply of substitutes at
home equal to the amount of flour de-
|sired, no additional substitutes need
be purchased.

Relative to the new flour ruling, the
following is issued:
Officials of the United States food
administration have suspended for tho
time being the six pounds per person
flour rule for Arkansas as a reward
for past patriotic and valuable con-
servation on the part OF its people,
Strict observance OF the $3.50 rule is
absolutely necessary. We must con
tinue in the conservation of flour oth-
enwise we will be put back on the for
mer six pounds per capita basis. The
attention OF the people OF Arkansas IS
called to the following:
"a new wheat crop of great mag
nitude is not yet certain. The present
supply OF flour in the United States is
unusually small. A great per cent OF
the new crop IS to be stored in a ma
tional reserve. The demand for flour
for the men in the American army and
navy and for the allied countries is
greater than ever before BY export
ing wheat from the United States,
foreign countries are able to release
their wheat ships for transport ser
vice. A national reserve is a most
vital necessity, as the government
does not know what demands, in cd
dition to those aforementioned, will
be made on the United States in the
near future. and increase demands,
from present indications, appear to be
/ almost certain.
