BIG TIME ACTS ..s
AT DAVIS THEATRE

Ore of the best bills yet booked at
Da y theatre is to be seen at the local
PLAY louise for the last half OF the
week and all comment on TIE pro-
gramme was highly favorable. The
vaudeville is well balanced and in
cludes three big time acts. any of
which would be classed as leaders.
The motion pictures are excellent.
The feature act is Archer and Bel
ford in neat comedy skit, A Janitors
Troubles. The act is riot of fun
from start 10 finish and is put across
in big time style.
Petty Reat and Brother present a
unique offering in musical line, prac-
tically all of their playing being on
tuneful glasses. This act is the only
one Of its kind seen here this sea-
son.
Helen Harrington. singing come e.
dieune, scores several hits with her
singing. The feature picture is The
Girl Dodger, starring Charles Ray in
the title role. It goes without saying
that this famous screen star is up to
his usual standard Of original and
natural acting. Foolish Ages, a Mack
Sonnet comedy, completes the bill.

Hair Often Ruined
BY Careless Washing

Soap should be used very carefully, If
you want to keep your hair looking
It's best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, make the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is Null
sified cocoanut oil shampoo (Which is
pure and greaseless), and is better than
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub II
In. II makes an abundance Of rich
creamy lather, which rinses out easily
removing every particle of dust, dirt
dandrufY and excessive oil. The hail
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine an6
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
TO manage. s.' Il
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and a few ounces will supply
every member of the family fol

OUR WEATHER EYE
Farmers Ultimatums

1t is something new for the farm
ers Of the United States to issue
an ultimatum to organized labor in
the manner described in this col
umn last week. There is evidence
that this one is being regarded with
considerable concern by labor lead
ers. The proposition that the
prices of labor and of farm pro-
ducts must go up or down together
is disturbing to those who have
been trying to give the, farmers
tsthe short end of the hitch;" and
to make matters worse, along with
this proposal from the farmers
came another that sounded just
as bad.
This was that farmers will not
speed up production Of food-stuffs
while organized labor is striving to
decrease the production of other
goods by strikes, shorter hours, and
a general reduction of efficiency,
but that production by the two
classes must, like prices, go up or
down together. Otherwise it
would mean that farmers would
receive little for what they sold
but pay out much for what they
bought while laborers would re-
ceive much but have to pay out
little.
The Farm Bureau Federations
are saying instead that the farmers
are willing to speed up production
PROVIDED labor will do the same
thing They do mot object to
working harder, perhaps even for
less money, if the common good re-
quires it; but they are unwilling
to be the ONLY ones to follow
this self-sacri6cing course. They
are seeking no advantage over
others. They stand for the doc
trine of Live and let live". And
they are willing to make any nec-
essary sacrifices for the common
good provided others will adopt
the same program. 1t is a just
and righteous rule that the farmers
are laying down; and in this lies
its strength. Given the proper
backing, it's triumph is as certain
as the succession of seasons.

Bird { :. club
: Notes

October is the season of sparrows
They throng old stubble, potato
and corn fields in countless num-
bers, doing untold good by destroy
ing the noxious weed seeds.
There are song sparrows, field spar
rows, chipping and vesper sparrows
all harvesting the this years crop of
weed seeds.
A little later will appear the Jun
co.'s, Tree and Fox sparrows to as
sist in the good work. The last
birds to leave us in the fall are US
.ually the first to arrive in the
Spring. This is because they are
seed eaters and can find food be-
fore and after the insect world has
retired into its winter, quarters.
Among the winter residents in
this vicinity are the short-eared owl,
long-eared owl, screech owl, downy
woodpecker, crow, blue jay, junco,
hairy woodpecker, northern shrike
brown creeper, chickadee, nut
thatch, goldfinch, some of the spar
rows, a few robins and occasionally
a phoebe.
In the fall and spring we have
transients who rarely stay more
than few days or weeks, the mum
ber of our winter birdie depends
largely on the amount Of snow ane
the intensity OF the cold.
At the last meeting of the Coun
try Club, which was held at the T
j. Elwood home, the members de
cided not to hold any more meet
ings for month, during corr
husking.

MINERS STRIKE

There is a faint hope at this wri-
ting that the threatened strike Of
coal miners, which was called for
Saturday, may be averted, or at
least postponed. John Z. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Work
ers, has summoned members of the
fuel scale committee to meet the
international executive board, it is
supposed for the purpose Of consid-
ering the advisability Of coming to
terms. Should the strike take
place as scheduled it will be the
greatest calamity to the country,
which it has ever been called to
face.

CENSUS ENun[RAI0RS

We must have few more appli-
cations from Audubon County for
the position Of U. S. Census Enum-
orators. There is to be one enum-
orator used in each township and at
the present time only about one
half the necessary applications have
been received.
The work of enumerators will
commence on January End and the
average enumerator can cover his
township in about two weeks. He
will be paid by each name submit
ted and for the number of Agricul-
tural reports taken. The average
enumerator will earn about $1OO.
This is a very important matter
to the Country and although it may
not appeal to all people from the
standpoint of compensation it is q
duty that must be well performed
and some citizens in the county are
willing to do this work from a Pa.
triotic standpoint only. All appli-
cations must be made not later than
October 31st.
