HARDWARE STORE

Under the auspices of the Co-op- eratlve Benefit Association of the American Hardware stores, a minstrel show is to be given Monday evening a tthe Casino. Elaborate prepara- tions are being made and the pro- gram will be a dandy. It is to be the first annual show and will be fol- lowed by dance. It is expected that the big hall will be packed to it's capacity as from all indications this show will in no wise resemble any of the usual first attempts"

PLAZA

There are two kinds of men, the Cyclones and the Rabbits. Which kind will you have for your husband, sisters? The Cyclone is very at tractive. He gushes like a waterfall. He calls you beautiful when your hair is flying In long strands about your face. Then there is the rabbit, he is awkward. He Is a bore, you will conclude. You smile at the male wall flower who trembles when he holds teacup. After you have been introduced to him he has very little to say. You try to please, but the more you talk, the more the Rabbit shriqks into reticence. Evelyn Nes- bit Mad to choose between two men of this nature in q Want to Forget" she picks the one and kills the other. It is a fascinating story told in six delightful parts.

LYRIC

"It Pays to Advertise" is scoring veritable triumph at the Lyric thea ter this week. Never before has the company been given a more enthusi- astic reception. Right from the very beginning the play appeals to the audiences and the spectators are kept busily engaged laughing and applaud ing alternately.
 Tt Pays to Advertise" is a high class comedy. It tells realistic story of the trials of two business men who believe in advertising and go to it to the fullest extent of their financial ca apacity Of course there is q love story attached to 1t for with out that element the tale would lose much of it's flavor. An irate father, obstinate son and patient girl are in troduced at the proper moments but all ends well for all concerned. There are few plays like Tt Pays to Adver- tise" and aside from its entertaining features is of benefit of the average man in business and tho householder as well.
 Tess of the Storm Country is the attraction for next week. The story is one replete with heart interest and keeps the auditors at a fever heat of excitement throughout. It tells of a good but rough waif of the woods who is doing a good act gets herself into serious trouble but continues on .undeterred despite public opinion only to win out in the end.

 Get from any druggist 2i5 ounces of Pinex, pour 1t into a pint bottle ana fill the bottle with syrup, using either plain granulated sugar syrup, clarlhed molasses, honey. or corn syrup, as desired. The result is ! full pint of really better cough syrup than you could buy ready-made for three times the money. Tastes pleasant and never spells.
 This Pincx and Syrup preparation gets right at the cause of a cough and Glv almost immediate relief. It loosens the phegm. stops the nasty throat tickle and heals the sore, irritated' membranes so gently and easily that 1t Is really astonishing.
 A days use will usually overcome the ordinary cough and for bronchitis, croup, whooping cough and bronchial asthma, there is nothing better. :.
 Pinex is a most valuable concentrated compound of genuine Norway pine ex- tract, and has been used for generations to break up severe coughs.
 To avoid disappointment, ask your druggist for "2lh ounces of Pinex" with full directions, and don't accept anything else. Guaranteed to give absolute satis- faction or money promptly refunded. The Pinex Co. Ft. Wayne, Ind,

Says corns stop hurting, then lift right off without
 one bit of pain

Hospital records show that every time you cut a corn you invite lock jaw or blood poison, which is need less, says a Cincinnati authority, who tells you that Q quarter ounce of q drug called freezone costs but a few cents at any drug store but is suffi- cient 10 rid ones feet of every hard or soft corn or callus without even one little twinge of pain.
 You simply apply a few drops of this freezone on a tender, aching corn and the soreness is instantly relieved. Shortly the entire corn can be lifted out, root and all, with your fingers.
 This drug is sticky but dries at once and is claimed to just shrivel up any corn without inflaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue or skin.
 If your wife wears high heels she will be glad to know of this.-Adv.

prepared by the United States Depart

There are number Of different
kinds Of SHUTS which attack the differ
ent cereals-wheat. oats, barley, and
rye. The most striking feature Of
these diseases is the appearance OF
fine. dark colored dusty material which
replaces the seed or heads Of the grain.
This dusty material Is the spores or
seed Of the fungous parasite which
causes the disease. Perhaps the most
serious Of these grain smuts Is the
sinking smut or hunt q. wheat. When
the wheat natures II Il found that the
grains are replaced by false kernels
or smut balls. These are easily broken
up In fine dusty material-the smut
spores. These have dlsagreeable odor.
hence the common name Of this smut.
This odor can readily be detected on
the leeward side OF n ripening wheat
field. II IL also very evident during
thrashing and on stored grain.
Estimated National Loss.
II Is estimated that the national loss
due to wheat smuts-principally the
sinking smut-in the 1918 crop
amounted to 25,5OO,OOO bushels. The
two states OF Minnesota and Nebraska
lost S,OO0,OOO bushels Of wheat from
sinking smut alone. The estimated
loss from oat smuts In 1918 Is 10000

from barley SHUTS is G,UOUU bushels
