MABEL N0RMAND'S CAREER

Mabel Norn7and was born in At lanta, Ga.
 Her parents opposed her desire for a career outside the home.
 They refused to aid her financially should she leave them.
 So Mabel pined and fretted and lost interest in life.
 Just then she received a small leg acy from an uncle. a, sea captain, en- ricEed by Oriental trade.
 With tears and smiles she bade her family a u reVOir.
 In New York she set out to be an artist and rented q studio while she studied drawing.
 Soon her modest legacy was gone. Too proud to confess that she was not yet making her way, MabeI resolved to get q real job, Quite naturally she drifted into being a model.
 She posed for illustrators and for painters, for advertisements of peanut butter, soap and cold cream.
 How did she happen to get into mo- ton pictures? By accident.
 In a windstQrm she collided with a girl also blinded by the dust. Com pairing notes, Mabel made known her wish for something better than adVer- Using food products. The other glr' offered to take her where she worked a motion picture studio hidden away in a side street. That was Mabel Nor mand's small beginning in a career which made her famous Her family has forgiven her, ma turally They declare she has not changed since the day she decided tc make the world look at her. And il does look at her, believe us. She is known all over the world wherever the screen is known.

GIRLS! YOU CAN
 LIFT THEM OFF Doesn't hurt a bit to lift your sore, touchy Corns
 right out

A noted Cincinnati authority dis covered a new ether compound and called it freezone and q, quarter ounce of it now can be had for a few cents at any drug store.
 You simply apply 8 few drops of this magic freezone upon a. tender corn or painful callus and instantly the soreness disappears, then shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can lift it off with the fingers.
 You feel no pain, not particle of soreness, either when applying free zone or afterward, and it doesn't even irritate the skin.
 Hard corns, soft coins or corns be- tween the toes, also toughened cal fuses, just shrivel up and lift off so easy. It is wonderful! It works like a charm. Try it!
 Women should keep it on their dressers and never let a corn ache twice.

PARAMOUNT POINTERS

Pauline Frederick finished the final scenes of "The Resurrection" last week which were taken in the settings of the big prison yard as the con- demned prisoners are on the eve of their departure for Siberia. The han ding of this production for Para mount is said to reflect great credit upon Director Edward Jose.
 Billie Burke is still working on the interiors of her new Paramount pie ture, Let's Get a Divorce,' the phq- toplay written for her by Anita Loos and John Emerson. Beautiful back grounds were secured ln Florida for the exterior scenes,
 The production of Sunshine Nan proved a trying experience for Ann Pennington, who plays the title role in the Paramount picture to be re- leased March Il. The strenuos1ty of the part and the cold weather prevail ing while the exteri0rS were being filmed, convinced the dainty little star that the path of the motion picture actress is not strewn with roses
 When Jesse L. Lasky arrived in Cal ifornia recently, one of the first things which he did was to witness a, show ing of the J. Stuart Blackton pro auction, Wild Youth which has Just been completed for Paramount at the Hollywood studios of the EamouS PIayers-Lask corporation. MT. Las ky's words of praise of the work of q brother producer are highly compll- mentary to MT. Blackton and to the admirable cast of players which was chosen to appear in this photoplay, which is the third of the film produc- tions to be taken by Mir. Blackton from the works of Sir Gilbert Parker, the eminent English novelist.
 Tn Love Me-" her Paramount pic ture to be released next month, Dor othy Dalton is supported by strong cast of players, with Jack Holt who has appeared with success in so many inportant Param pictures, play ine opposite her in the role of Gordon Appleby.
 The next appearance of Charles Ray in 8 Paramount picture is an inter esting study in mental suggestion un- der the title of 'TEhe Family Skele- ton" As Billy Bates, a, young man who inherits a large fortune through the death of his father, the subject presents great dramatic possibilities in addition to the sensational ana humorous features.
 Now it is Redlands that would have Roscoe Fatty Arbuckle in it's midst as a bright light of the films Santa Ana and Anaheim have offered to build him a studio, while Long Beach is contemplating a similar proposi- ton. Redlands will send a delegation this week to present their plan to the comedian Even Jacksonville, F'lori- Ga, is in the lists, but California, will be the choice, though just which city will be selected by Arbuckle as his studio home is as yet unknown. Roscoe Fatty" Arbuckle is putting the finishing touches on The Bell Boy" his latest Paramount comedy being made at Long Beach, California. Supported by Al St. John, Buster kea- ton, Alice Lake, Joe Keaton and many country types, the rotund comedian 1s introducing something entirely new in the way of a, bucolic comedy.

STAR FALLS THIRTY FEET.

Pauline Frederick will make her debut as a "daredeviI' on the screen when she makes a sensational fall of 30 feet from parapet of a fort in the screen version of Victorien Sardou's $ world famous La Tosca," her latest Param ount picture. The incident fol- lows the killing of her lover by 8 firing squad after Tosca had stabbed Scarpia, the chief of police. Although Miss Frederick could have "doubled'' in a longer shot of this scene, the star insisted upon doing the feat herself in order to make the views entirely realistic.

 We'll you're just the person Doug las Fairbanks is after. Tn q letter from Frank F. Wilson, director of publicity for the Third Liberty Loan, sonal appeal to all film patrons, so- 1iciting their support as individual boosters for the new drive.
 Douglas urges you all to roll up your sleeves and help to put the new loan over with a tremendous bang. He says, This is the time to act, not to talk Every bond you buy is a nail in the Kaiser's coffin. Let's all get together! We're all Americans and now is tho time to prove it, by do- ing your bond purchasing early, and avoiding the rush"
 Secretary McAdoo. in a telegram to Douglas Fairbanks last week, sug- gested that Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin. and Fairbanks arrive in Washington, D. C., April first, where a big reception will be arranged in their honor to precede their respec- tive tours, throughout the United States to boost the Third Liberty Loan.
 It is McAdoo'S idea for these stars to strike the anvil at the capital and , these sparks will fly all over the country, paving the way for their transcontinental tours. The "big three" have wired their approval to the secretary of the ! Treasury and will leave California in ample time 10 arrive for the Wash 1 ington celebration.

All Cotton May Mean Ruin.

Cotton prices have dropped
within the last two weeks about
S32 90 per bale. The world still
needs cotton, bit the decline IN
price IN this com modify indica-
ties that there is an uncertainty
as To whether ships can be secur-
ed to transport this otton The
Allies want fool, aud men to as
sist them in the struggle that is
being waged. Cotton is of minor
consideration in comparison
With the food that is needed, and
1T Is a safe bet that it will be Civ
Ell minor consideration when
transportation facilities are re-
CURED. 1t is estimated that all
the American mills and MUM
ton plants will Mt this year
consume much over eight mil
lions bales including linters. A
congeste market will result if
shipping facilities cann5t be
materially improved and the
price OF cotton will be forced
down.
Cotton is gemble. food is a
necessity. When the necessities
of life are provided, then some
thing can be staked on the cot
ton gamble. The lives of men
depend on the playing of the
safe game now. Grow food and
feed first then some cotton. If
cotton is low then, the necessi
ties of life are provided and your
contribution made to the cause

Corn 30 per cent increase.
Hay % times increase.
As all measures for the pro.
tectiou of the people are volun-
tary until they have to be
brought about by compulsion, it
is hoped that the farmers will
see that this increase in food and
feed for Drew county is not only
reached, but Is exceeded. A
casual inspection of the pledge

ties that there has been very lit
tie increase in either corn or hay
acreages. Steps should be taken
at once to the required proper
tion of this increase of your
farm, thus willingly doing your
part toward the contribution of
this increase.
Corn planted in Nay is on the
average about the best corn pro-
duced in the county. If the part
in production has not yet been
done, it is not too late to get this
crop planted and thus produce
the increase that is required of
this county. Hay crops can be
planted throughout the season
after regular crops are planted
and the grain is harvested.
Every available space should be
utilized In these crops Cowpeas,
soy beans, Sudan grass and sor-
ghum are known to all and max e

crops are planted A very urgent
request has recently been sent
from the Quartermaster's De

that steps be taken to increase
in the production of prairie and
