this purely farcical Offering he has in
1ected one thrill after another and to
make this feat doubly marvellous, the
thrills and comedy are SO closely in
tertwined that the shivers up the spine
are Immediately dispelled by the
laugh that follows.
Ben Turpin, he of the contrary eyes
leads the Sennett fun makers in the
intermingling Of laughs and thrills. AS
Rodney St. Clair, the dashing hero, he
first turns the trick in one of the most
realistic football scrimmages the
screen has produced in a long time.
This performance he repeats later on
in the hospital where he is inflated
with gas and floats out of the windows
and still later when he and Jimmy Fin
layson battle on wings of an airplane
Of the earth. Then to cap the climax
he gives the auditor the supreme laugh
thrill of the evening at the very tail
end OF the story.

1t never pays to deal from tho bot
tom Of the deck, whether in the game
of cards or In the game of life! Frank
Keenan,. portraying the picturesque
tramp in "Smouldering Embers" had
to deal with those who had double
crossed in both cards and life.
The Murray theatre Is presenting
this newest of Frank Keenon's pro-
auctions for Pathe the last half Of
the week. 1t Is an original story by
Kate Corbaley, who has woven a
charming romance around the mayor
stepson and vagabond's pretty
daughter. with a vagabond playing q
cupid-by-proxy role.
1t is doubtful If Frank keenan, has
ever had more charming and sympa-
thetic role than the one in "Smol-
dering Embers.'' The love he had for
his son was so big and fine and noble
that he could enter the boys life, save
him from disgrace and set him on the
road to happiness, and then go out of
it; the boy never knowing that the
ragged old tramp was his father he
thought dead, but who lived in his
memory as regular fellow"

much delight in juggling fourlegged

Oliver and Lee in 1.-THE Boob and

IF he could have been caught, he
would have had rough time with the
crowd.

A movement is on foot at the col

entertainments.
H. c. Schad, who is just located
here, is moving picture operator, and
with the aid Of the electricians, he
will move the two generators and wire

Several new artists are ready to

SATURDAY NIGHT DANCES
BRING LARGE CROWDS

More than the usual crowd of dane
ers and watchers were present at the
Saturday Night Dance at the Colony
last Saturday evening.
The orchestra, consisting Of Geo. 7.
Pickett, drums; Mrs. Wrenshall, pia-
no; and Fred Herman. violin and
clarinet, rendered the dance music in
fine style.
Mr.. Borgeson of the commissary de-
partment was in charge Of the refresh
.ment counter and was well patronized.
1t IS matter Of more than usual m
terest that the behavior of the dancers
is always good. and the wstchful eyes
of Mr.. Pickett scans the floor at all
times.
The LeesviIIe people attend these
dances regularly and they have learned
that the Colony dances are highly pro-
per and never boisterous.

COLONY LADIES GIVE
ICE CREAM SUPPER

Allthe colon;sts were asked to come
to the colony hotel Sunday at $50
and the occasion was not explained.
At the allotted time, however, there
was a general assembly at the allotted
place and special attraction was an
nounced in the form of an ice cream
supper.
Many Of inc colony ladies supple
mented the supply Of cakes made at
the Llano Snowflake bakery with lay
or cakes of chocolate and creams. and
the hotel served the ice cream in real
style.
Little occasions of this kind may not
seem much to the outsider, but if they
can imagine the good feeling and hap
py spirit generated at these little func-
tons, they would realize how they are
In other words, it is not
what we get but the way we get it that
makes the affair so pleasant.

SIGN PETITION FOR
NEW ROAD WESTWARD

There is being signed by many farm
ers and residents Of the Parish petit
ton for a road to run due west on the
section line at Stables.
It is claimed that this road will save
a detour of several miles to the resi-
dents Of the parish west Of the New
llano Colony, and the colony people
have signed the petition extensively.
The new road will start near the col
ony hotel and go due west, right thru

Mr.. O'Banion has the petition in
hand, and anyone wishing to sign it
may see him about it.

FORTY ACRES TO
SWEET POTATOES

The colonists were fooled somewhat
this week.
To take advantage Of the ceIebra-
ton at Leesville Monday the farmers
worked Sunday in order not ito be be-
hind with their planting.
It rained nicely Sunday afternoon,
and, Monday, Mr.. Lindsey. who is in
charge Of the farming department,
called for volunteers to plant sweet
potatoes. The rain made the soil fine
for planting and good crowd turned
out to plant. Several acres were
planted. and the total acreage to sweet
potatoes planted to date is about forty,
and it is expected that fifty acres will
be the total when planting ceases.
The success of the drying and cur
ing Of the sweet potato crop last year
is responsible for the increased acre
age this year.
Fertilizer is being used and bum
per crop may be the outcome of this
work. Vernon Parish is fast becom-
ing known to the State Agricultural
as a sweet potato country.

SHALL WE KEEP
THE DAIRY HERD?

Is it going to pay to keep our dairy
herds? This question is being widely
discussed at present, but too many
dairymen are taking only the present
conditions into consideration. Some
captain of industry has said that the
successful man does not bother him
self with present conditions, but looks
ahead and plans to meet future needs.
So let us put on our long-lookers and
see what the future has in store for us.
Statistics show our population has in
creased 46.7 per cent during the past
20 years, but the increase in the pro-
duction of butter during the same pc
rod is put at 34.4 per cent, while the
increase in cheese in only 24.6 per
cent.
From these figures we can see that
production is not keeping pace with
the increase in population. yet it
should exceed it because the educa-
|tional campaigns now being conducted
by the different dairy councils are
bound to increase the demand for milk,
butter, cheese and cream, and in the
future the consumption per capita will
be greater than ever-that is. if we
can supply the demands. tbs does
not mean that all cows should be kept.
Sell the Improbable ones, by all
means, for there never will be a time
when poor COWS can be made to paw.
But don't use any guess work in MAX
ing your decision. Use the milk
scales, Babcook test, and record book,
and before you condemn COW be
sure that she has been given fair
chance. Many a good COW has gone
to the SHAMELESS because her owner
did not know how to make her yield
a profit. Before you weed out any
COW be sure you have studied her care
fully and have done everything In your
power to help her make good. Go at
the task with the idea of irving to re-
tain as many cows at possible in the
herd, instead of trying to get rid of
as many as possible. We are contin-
uaIlv exhorted to breed, weed, and
feed but reverse the order and breed,
feed, and then weed. Do the feeding
before the wedding, and with the feed
ing include everything that will con-
tribute to the cows contentment.. Like
as not you will find that many of your
cows are well worth keep
ing. And you will decide to place the
blame for their unprofitabIeness upon
the fellow who wears your hat.
For the first time this year Hol-
stein COW sold in public sale for more
than 100000 before lunch. Then
to further break the record number
of them followed suit. After the ex-
cellent lunch they kept right on until
it looked as if all of the big herd would
bring a thousand or more apiece. IF
all had been mature cows, they might
have done so, but in a complete dis
persal there are necessarily a large
