mas driven or handled by Oscar Egg
of Cuero, Texas. Egg claims the
worlds record for handling turkeys
lie claims to have handled or driven
in to town more than 100000 turkeys
IN the last ten years for the annual
pre-holiday slaughter
'Cuero is the leading turkey town OF
Texas and Texas is the largest turkey
producing state in the Union. The
turkey trot, held Nov. IL, this year
found 1900 turkeys in town. They
were paraded down Main street with
Oscar Egg in charge. Just as soon as
the parade was over the same proud
turkeys were driven down to the pack
ers and King Turk was Dead Turk.
Turkeys are strange BIRDS" Egg
said. "They'll hunt ell afternoon foI
a good place to roost in the trees, and
when night falls you'll find 'em roost-
ing on the ground"
/ The 1900 turkeys of the Cuero tur-
key trot were made to parade by q
simple contrivance. A corn planter
was driven about 80 feet ahead of the
leading turkeys, dropping corn. The
leaders gobbled up the grains and the
rest Of the flock followed "just to see
what they could see," according tc
Egg.

Every time we see Griffith pic

statement. He is in q class by HIM
self. 4s6 IL.
We can't help butssay it over and
over again, and thinking OF the Won
derful production, The Love Flow
err which we Witnessed at the Palace
theater today, where il. began an en-
gagement for two days, and we think
always of the number of worthy fol-
lowers this master. has in the direc-
torial line who put out excellent PIC
lures, so good YOU wonder II, perhaps,
the master has not rivals. The an
swer always comes, however, when he
turns himself loose on another pro-
duction and shows what he really can
do.
Here again the greatest of produc-
ers has tread on thin soil and with a
theme of the love Of a daughter for
her father, love that would even
polt her own death to save him tor
ment, he has treated it with exquisite
delicacy and sureness and given it
those inimitable touches sonly he
can 40, making OF lHe "ho4e q HdIeA-
less product OF the screen and which
comparesh with greatest favor with
ali of his former matchless screen
stories.
Matchless revelations of beauty,
strength and excitement prevail in
this picture. 1t is an unusual sort
of Griffith production, for it bor-
ders on the melodramatic in which
the master hand injects wonderful
deep breathed romance of the out-of-
doors; happy, thrilling and delight
full, with scenes of quickening beauty
and galaxy of scenic splendor.
This production will be shown
again tonight and tomorrow

Youne's own composition.
Aside from its ability as a proof OF
the Edison's worth, the concert was a
joy to all lovers of music. The selec-
tions given were of the highest
class, ara the rich soprano voice OF
Nine. Verlet, the wonderful melody
drawn from Mr.. Young's violin by
his skillfully welded bow. and the
ease of Mr.. Young's playing held the
audience spell bound from start to
