USELESS WORRY

We think we're in n horrid plight
With taxes in the air,
And cost of living out Of sight;
We scarcely well can bear;
We pray that things may turn up,
To migrate our woe;
And fain would sup LIES hector cup.
And see It overflow.
There's churches to be built and
schools.
To teach the growing throng:
And costly Gyms with swimming
pools,
To make us 1.-THE and strong:
And libraries that must be built.
To scatter bookly lore;
And prisons built to punish guilt.
And cinch the blk and bore.
The taxman struts around the town
To figure on our case;
Whose presence makes the cynic
frown.
And pull an awry face;
And thus we fret from day to day,
And nourish thoughts Of i'll;
And frittcr life and time away
When all is going we'll.
Now wouldn't II be better far,
To drive such thoughts away;
And take a jaunt whore fretting cant
lis pesky pranks display;
And feel content that what Is sent
Is Just the proper thing;
To yield MS cheer and comfort here
No other means could bring.
WHY Idly dream OF bliss supreme,
without some sacrifice;
Since something won, for nothing
done.
We'd fail 10 fully prize;
It's constant. worthy effort made
That makes us good and great;
The soul that braves LIES stormy
waves,
Finds fortunes golden gate

OLIVE THOMAS PLAY
 SPLENDID PRODUCTION

A play of rare scenic splen- dors, of deep emotional mom- ents, of stirring dramatic in- eidents, finely acted and SUD- erbly directed is the new Selz- nick Picture "Out Wonder, !" starring charming Oliv ve Thomas, which comes to the Royal Friday night.
 The role of "Flotsam," in which Miss Thomas is cast, is totally different from any which she has thus far essay ed :. Flotsam is a ragged little sea Waif, the daughter of a lighthouse keeper, whose life is spent on a lonely reef in the Atlantic.
 Many spectacular incidents and extraordinary scenic ef- fleets are embodied in the picture and in the matter of realism the picture goes far beyond any previous effort.

THE SAME OLD TALK

There is great talk now all over the south that the cotton acreage will be largely de- creased next year. We have all heard that talk many times before, without any actual contamination of the idea. IF trouble about reducing cotton acreage seems to be that mos every farmer expects the oth- CT man to cut down his acre age while he adds a few acres to his crop, hoping to benefit by the reduction in acreage made by the other people. A reduction in the cotton acre. ace and the production of more things that people must Use at home is what the south must have in order to bring about widespread prosperity, but it will require a much more compact organization than has yet existed to bring these things about.

TUPELO MAN BITTEN
 BY A MAD MULE
Animal Had to Be Killed Be- fore it's Hold on Arm
 Could be Released

T. F. Harding a prominent young farmer, of Jackson county was bitten by a mad mule Thursday at Tupelo.
 He was hauling logs and when one of the mules in the log team became unruly Mr. Harding went to the team to see what was the trouble. When he walked up in reach of the mule, it grabbed his arm in it's mouth, sinking it's teeth into the flesh of his arm. Mr. Harding called for help and some parties went to his assistance.
 They were unable to release the mules hold upon Mr. liar ding's arm, and the animal had to be killed with a cant hook. The mule still held . death grip on Harding's arm. even after it was killed, and after the mule was dead 9 cant hook had to be used to pry the animals jaws apart so Hardings arm could be re- leased.
 Fearing that the mule miga.s be affected with hydrophobia, MT. Harding was sent to a hospital at Memphis for treat ment.
 The mules head was sent the Memphis Medical Univer- sity and upon examination the brain showed the mule to have been affected with hy- drophobiae.
 The pasteur treatment is being administered MT. Har- ding and it is thought that he will be out of danger within a few days.

GIN AND 100 BALES
 COTTON DESTROYED
Forty Thousand Dollars Loss When Big Gin at Lepanto
 Burns

Lepanto, Nov. 22.-Nearly $40,00O loss was caused by fire at Lepanto Saturday night which destroyed the gin and press of the Portis Mercantile Company, 100 bales of cotton, many tons of seed, 8 Frisco box car and the pump house of the Frisco Railroad.
 The cotton was owned by farmers and was not insured. The gin was valued at $2o,0o0 and was partially insured. Il will be rebuilt in the spring.
 The fire originated in the press at about 7::30 o'clock Saturday night, while the plant was still in operation. Efforts of employees to smo- ther the flames were unavail- ing. By heroic work on the part of volunteers, the Crig- ger Hotel, which caught fire two or three times, was saved.
 The mercantile company owning the plant is composed of Dan Portis, [. D. Mullen5 and J. H. Mills and others, all residents of L L-panto.
 The cotton dettreyed was on the platform. Practically all of it had been ginned Satur- day. The gin was one of the most complete in this section.

Blend of Cocoanut and Palm Oils
Makes Best Shampoo

A shampoo prepared properly from
a blend of cocanut and palm oils Is
by far the best to use. These two
oils are prescribed often in their raw
state for diseases of the scalp and
hair Shuco Shampoo is a perfect
blend of these two oils perfectly sa-
ponifed and suspended in a solution
free from impurities and injurious
matter. Two or three teaspoonfuls
applied to the wetted hair and rub
bed briskly at once changes into a
bushel of sparkling, bubbling,
creamy lather that vanishes all dirt
and dust, and leaves the hair and
scalp perfectly clean. 1t leaves no
sickness, harshness or tilmy sub
stance in the hair. Makes it brilliant.
soft, fluffy and wavy. 1t completely
rinses out and can be used as often as
you like without the slightest posi-
bility or injury to the hair or scalp.

cial event. The lecture room, where
the guests were received, was beauti-
full with white lilies and garlands of
wisteria placed about the room, and
the centerpiece on the long table was
charming arrangement of yellow
Scotch roses in a tallsilver vase. Mrs.
r. B. Hooks, president of the socie-
ty, had charge of the details of the
reception, and for her efforts was
ascribed the notable success of the
afternoon. DR.. and Mrs. Carl Minor
received the guests as they entered,
and assisting in welcoming the com

H. C. Davis and Mrs. Hooks. The
guests were assigned places in the
room to enjoy the program which fol
lowed. 1t was a regrettable incident
that Mrs. P. C. Clegg and Miss Mary
Rochester, two we'll beloved honorary
members of the society, were detain-
ed from coming by slight illness.
1t was specially to honor these be-
loved members of the society that the
reception was held.

INTERPRETATIVE DANCING
DRAWING CARD OF PICTURE.

The program to be given by the
little girls at the Opera House Fri
day afternoon and evening when the
beautiful picture Of "Evangeline"
will be presented again under the
auspices Of the Music Study Club has
proven a drawing card for the oc-
casion. These little girls are Flor
ence Fort, Martha Duncan, Nancy
Hooks and Cordelia Hooks, and they
have been under the rigid instruction
of Miss Emma Chapman for some
time to make this star appearance
for the little dancers. Numbers will
be given at both performances, and
the matinee will be of especial inter
est to the children because of the time
and the features.
Miss Chapman has spared no eff
forts to make their dancing perfect,
and perfect it is. They will give
Morning" Butterflies" pipes of
Pan" "The Brook" and "Humor-
esque." Aside from their remark
able Interpretation of the part to be
played, their costumes will be lovely
and their posing correctly staged by
their instructor Many out-of-town
people Are expected just for the
pleasure of seeing these dances.
The Rotarians have requested these
little girls to dance at their month
ly dinner Thursday night, and it is
owing to this fact that only two per-
formances can be given at the Opera
House.

STOP HEADACHE
REMOVE CAUSE
Your Money Back While You
Wait at Counter if Aspironal
Elixir Does Not Relieve in Two
Minutes, Absolutely Safe.

You can save half an hour or more
of headache pain by taking the new
Asrironal Elixir instead of the slow
acting tablets that have to wait so
long to be digested and absorbed. AS
pironal being liquid acts almost in
stantly and is preferred by the doc
tors for the reason that it is not
dangerous to the heart.
The next time you have headache
go to your nearest drug store, hand
the clerk half a dollar for a bottle of
Aspironal; tell him to serve you two
teaspoonsful in a little water. With
your watch in hand count off the min
utes and call for your money back, as
per manufacturers guarantee, if you
can't feel your headache fading
away within the time limit.
Doctors recommend and druggists
guarantee Aspironal because they
know it acts so much quicker, with
out the slightest danger to the heart
and because it removes the cause of
bilious and sick headaches by its gen
tie action on the liver. Aspironal cor
reefs biliousness and constipation,
thereby preventing the return of your
headache next day. All druggists in
vite and expect you to try Aspironal,
so don't be bashful. Everybody is do
ing it. Same guarantee applies to
colds, coughs and neuralgia, adv

me copies of the Times-Recorder I
spent Easter Sunday at home reading
the bundle of Times-Recorders that
I found there. I was delighted with
the activities in which the chamber
was engaged. 1t is a great ,satisfac-
ton to find you are taking hold of
such important problems in such an
energetic way.
Il was especially pleased that the
principle of recognizing the authori-
ty Of the membership in determining
policies was supported so strongly by
the board of directors in connection
with sending an attorney to Allan
ia One of the most important means
of maintaining interest in the work
of the chamber and those promoting
its growth is that of placing a meas
ure Of responsibility upon the mem
bership. The reorganization of the
chamber, according to the American
City Bureaus plan, is framed to
stimulate general interest and get as
many persons as possible working for
the common welfare. One of the
common complaints which we hear of
when we go to city for the pur-
pose Of reorganizing a chamber is
that a few persons run it; usually
that has had a great deal to do with
its deafness. One of the fundamen-
tai principles on which the success
of American City Bureau chambers
rest is that of participation by many
in the chambers activities. This
! l
ress and is, in way, an education in
civics.
another means of maintaining in
terest in that of dividing tasks into
three parts lie. discussion, investiga-
ton and execution. Sometimes the
same committee to which is assigned
the task of directing the education
continues as a committee of inves-
tigation and the committee of execu-
ton. Sometimes different commit
