upon old passions through a mist OF
reminiscence and TO that end he en-
closed his picture within a proslq'gl,e

"BILL HENRY"

All the lure Of the rural romance
and the country boy character as
presentad by Charles Ray is found in
"Bill Henry" the stars phOt0play
which comes TO the Rialto for today
only.
The sincerity OF the picture and its
leading characters are second only TO
its real fun.
Tomorrow Dorothy Dalton will be
seen in a real American comedy called
THE HOme-Breaker." The heroine OF
the piece is a modern young Ameri-
can girl, following the occupation Of
travelling saleslady. Her ability 10 get
rid OF her wares and her fascinating
beauty are quite the most interesting
things about the picture, except OF
course, her romance.

The browns swept out of the engine-house to their first fire in manner to make old ire men speak with happy reminlscence of the horse drawn days. Then came night alarm.
 Back on the farm, Betty" ana "Billy" had been accustomed not to, stir from sundown to sunrise, ana no din of fire-gong or urging by an xious firemen would move them tc answer the alarm. All the fire de- partment's split-second aids to g 1 quick start were lost on the browns They refused to budge, the firemen had to go to the blaze with chemlca lines. and the town folks laughed. i The firemen vowed the thing woule mot happen again and the horses were put through a stiff training 1 They went to the day fires wltf spirit, and the fire crew hoped they understood. But another night alarm came, and again Betty" and Billy would not move; once more the fire men went afoot, hose in hand, ant again the town laughed at their dis comfiture.

He awoke to find him. self stranded in a strange city a thousand miles from home, his mon- ey and baggage gone, and himself not absolutely certain whether he is the victim of delusion or real live man. His most apparent concern was for his wife in Waco, to whom he said he has been married only a short time.

 When Butler saw the big steamer making it's way up the Cape Fear River he looked at his watch and inquired what time the White Sox were to begin to practice at the Texas League Park. This was toe much for riverman, who made off to tell his troubles to the nearest policeman. At the corner Butler

 With gasp the Texan sought the postoffice, where he repeated his query at the stamp window. again receiving confirmation of the fact that he was in North Carolina's sea- port resort.
 When Butler arrived in Whining. ton he registered at the Caroline Hotel. He used his right name, but signed only his initials before his surname, instead of spelling out his Christian name, as is his custom. He left the hotel immediately, however, and the next heard of him was when 1 the policeman picked him up on the docks.
 Took Three Drinks at Least,
 Buffers story, as related by him. self, is as follows:
 Easter morning he went from Wa co to Dallas to consult his mother in-law regarding position that had been offered him in the latter city. His business completed, he met a friend in the lobby of hotel, and, at the latter's invitation, accompan- jed him to room on an upper floor, where they were joined by the other mans wife, the party spending sev- eral hours socially, during which time at least three rounds of drinks were imbibed. His next recollection II is of feeling bit drowsy in the steam-heated room. He descended to the lower floor in the elevator, and from that moment until he found himself on the Princess street docks in Wilmington his mind has been a blank. Butler is a well-dressed young man, apparently 30 years of age. in- telligent in appearance and seeming lv man of some education and re- finsment. His clothes are natty and spotless, and this in spite of the fact that it must have been some days since he had change of apparel.

A. |. DOWNING BACK
AT POWER PLANT

Mr.. A. L. Downing, who at one
time was connected with the city as
manager of the light and power
plant, succeeds Mr.. Hull, resigned.
Mr.. Downing is well known in Ok
ford as fine electrician and engi-
neer. He has been in Memphis since
leaving here four years ago.
Since Mr.. Downing left here, the
service has given much trouble both
to domestic and those who use cur
rent for driving motors.
We believe the city made no mis-
take in securing Mr.. Downing to
take charge of the power plant, and
we cannot believe that the city will
remain in darkness much longer.

BETTER ROADS FOR
LAFAYETTE COUNTY
Special Election Called For May IL
To Vote On Bond Issue to Hard
Surface Roads.

The fact that the board of SUPER
visors have ordered an election to
ascertain whether the county will is
sue bonds to hard surface the jeff
Davis Highway running north and
south through the county and the
Bankhead Highway running east and
west, indicates that Lafayette coun-
ty desires to go on record as being
in favor of good roads.
The election is called for May II,
and every citizen of the county
should turn out and vote on that
day, and vote in favor of the bond
issue.
This nor no other county can ever
hope to make any progress until we
get better system of public roads.
Progressive people are not going to
move into county that has no roads.
There are too many counties else
where having good roads.
When Lafayette county can boast
OF having two trunk lines of hard
surfaced roads and bond issue roads
leading into them from all directions
of the county, you will see progress
sive people coming into our county
from all parts of the United States.
They will come in and help pay the
debts incurred in building the roads,
but they will not come until we have
the roads completed.
1t would pay every farmer living
on bad road to sell half of his
land and invest it in building a good
road for an outlet.
Let US do everything in our power
to get better roads. We have moth
ing to lose, but all to gain. The Gov
will go $3.50 in helping us
% build good roads.

A NOTED VISITOR.

DR.. Graham Edgar, Professor of
Chemistry in the University of Vir-
ginia, visited the University of Mis-
sissippi this week as the representa-
tive of the National Research
Council On Monday evening he
spoke to the Faculty Club meeting
at the residence of DIR. w. l.. Ken
non, outlining the work of the Re
search Council, the plan of It's or
ganization, what it hopes to accom-
plish for research in America, and
the methods which are being used
to enlist the various educational
institutions in research work.
DR.. Edgar, who is an eminent
chemist, gave very clear and in
teresting address. He also later
answered many questions asked by
members of the Faculty Club. DIR.
Edgar is making a tour of southern
educational institutions to find out
what facilities they have Tor re-
search work and to what extent they
may be able to join with other insti-
tutions in such work. Ole Miss has
been somewhat remiss in these lines
and has required such heavy sched-
ules of teaching hours that the mem
bers Of the faculty have not had
time to carry on much original
work. DIR. Edgar aroused much
interest, and no doubt provision will
be made so that members of the
Faculty here will be able to engage
in researches in their various lines
Of activity.
During DIR. Edgar'S stay here he
was the guest of Dr. J. N. Swan.
