VIOLA DANA AT GALAX IN
 ~LIFE,S DARN FUNNY"

Viola Dana in "Life's Darn Funny" at the Galax theatre is one of the typical light dramas in which the star has been so much featured re- gently. She Is in one of her most impish and irresponsible roles as the light hearted and light-headed hero inc who almost ruins her sweet hearts life with plans for making q fortune that land them on the bor- ders of disgrace.
 The idea is treated in comedy fash ion though it has some real appeal of pathos in the straits of the penni- less young hero. It is comedy drama that resorts little to the improb- able to get fun and a laughable role for a star who suits that kind of action.
 Two artists. painter and violin ist, love each other in their poverty. Unable to make a living at their pro fessions they land on an idea to get rich, which is helped along by the loan of a friends handsome apart ment. They succeed only enough to get deep In debt and complications about the apartment which end hap oily just at the end when all hope for the future has heen lost.

Gazette Correspondence.)


 Washington, Sept. 22.-The Mis- souri and North Arkansas railroad may hesume operation in a short time, it was learned today, following a con- ference in the office of representative John N. Tillman of Arkansas. The conference was participated in by Festus J. Wade, banker of St. Louis, who is largely interested in that road ; George H. Williams of St. Louis, Wade S attorney; and two other inter- ested persons. A plan was agreed upon at the conference which those who participated believe promises to put the road in operation again in a short time
 The nature and details of the plan cannot be made public at this time, it was said, but Mr. Tillman and Mr. Wade think the plan is entirely fea- sible. Another meeting will be held in Washington before the end of the month at which it is hoped to map out the details of the plan and pu. it into operation.
 Senators Caraway and Robinson, and the entire Arkansas delegation are interested and working to bring about resumption of operation on the abandoned railroad.

DAIRY AND POULTRY
 FORESTALLED RUIN

1. Dairying and poultry growing even
 on a nominal scale has proved their value in southwest Missouri this year,
 according to T. R. Douglass, who yes terday returned from an extended stay in that country. Without the steady income from the sale of poultry and dairy products, the population would
 be hard against it, MT. Douglass said. A banker at Miller showing the rev enue from farm in that county, said
 that wheat had brought about 1000,
 poultry $1,O00 and dairy products L S1,0 ,000 for a given period. Wheat sold at present market prices does not pay for the seed and handling, and cows and hogs marketed now hardly pay freight to the stockyards. Tax ing losses on these two items, farm- CTS have been carried along by the sale of cream, poultry and eggs. The money invested in these does not all compare with the money required to produce the major crops of the sec tion.
 MT. DouSldSS Was lHucH interested in the establishment of a condensed milk plant as suggesting a possible industry for this county. However, he was told such plants would hardly pay this far south. In southeast Mis- souri, where the dairy and poultry business is not so we'll developed, farmers are even in worse condi- tion from the drop in the wheat mark ct. Their cotton will be the only money crop.
