BOOSTERS Threaten
Campaign Success

BOOSTERS which were not killed,
confined or sold during "Rooster
Week" which has just ended will do
much toward preventing the cam
paign for infertile summer eggs from
being successful, according to mem
bers of the poultry department of the
College of Agriculture. Farmers who
did not eliminate the ROSTERS from
the flocks during that week have
been asked to do so at once, since
one or two male birds running with
the laying flock can produce many
fertile eggs which spoil rapidly dur
ing the summer months and are dis
eliminated against ON the market.

A Merry Heart
Shakespeare says |:

Shakespeare says:
"a merry heart goes all the day,
Your sad tires in a mile-ap
There is no other life habit which
can give such prolific returns in
happiness and satisfaction as that Of
being cheerful under all circum-
stances. Resolve that whatever comes
or does not come to you, whether you
fail in your undertaking or succeed,
you will keep cheerful, hopeful, help
full, optimistic, and be grateful for
the good things that are yours. In
almost everything we can find some
happiness if we look for it. The
trouble with us is that we want more
than we deserve, and we are not
grateful enough for the many things
that we are privileged to possess.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1921-06-14

1t is easy enough to be popular
when you have the coin. If you are

THE ARTFUL ADVERTISER.

A local advertiser offered his
church free hymn books if they would
consent to the insertion Of his ad'
vertising. They accepted the offer
and got the hymn books.
On the following Sunday the min
lister announced: "Brethren and Sis
ters, we will use our new hymn books
this morning. l want to say that the
gentleman who so kindly donated
them must have experienced change
of heart. l have looked through the
fly leaves in both front and back and
nowhere do l find a single advertise
ment. Let US sing hymn number g."
Turning to the hymn he read aloud;
"Hark, hear the heavenly voices
ring,
Bunkem's pills are just the thing
Angels voices, soft and mild,
Two for man and one for child"

patton Of enjoyment, and the rings
After they had been gone several

started to say it is lost, for at that
minute knew that it was. But |
could not say it because the vision
mad just come to me, and it was this:
While the girl was talking to me |
saw - The upper deck of a boat
on the Gulf with a very happy group
OF young people. The daughters of
Jane sitting in front, all Of a sudden
she threw up her hand and cried,
"Oh, my ring! my ring see the set
rolling!' 1t rolled swiftly to the very
edge of the boat, but two young men
sprang for it and caught it at the last
minute. l was two hundred miles
away, but l saw it, and l knew for
two days and nights that Jane was
most miserable and had no other con-
nection with her, so of course thought
the ring lost. This is what happened
when the young men gave her the set.
She put it in the ring and turned the
set in her palm. Thinking not to for
get it. After the boat ride, whole
bunch of them got in car to 60 to a
neighbor's to dance. When they az
rived at the house the girl screamed,
"Oh, the set is gone again" Every
body was most sympathetic-got a
flash light and searched the car. No
cameo. The child was so distressed
that she went home as soon as posi-.
BILE to tell her mother. Jane was Sc
unhappy about it that she telephoned
the late hostess and asked that she
would search the car as early as she
could in vain hope. The next morn
ing the lady telephoned her deep sym
pathy, but said that her son had TAX
en- fishing party out in the car Al
4 o'clock that morning, but when the!
came back she would search thor
oughly, which she did that night, ant
found the cameo, unbroken in cracl

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
NOW IN NEW QUARTERS
BuiIding-A New Rest Room For
Out of Town Visitors p

The Elizabeth City Chamber of Com
merce has installed itself in it's new
quarters on the entire second floor of
the Y. M. c. A. building on Main st.
All of the furniture and decorations
from the rooms in the Hinton Build
ing have been moved to the new loca-
ton and the Y. NJ. C. A. is beginning
to look like an useful community build
ing.
The Ladies' Rest Room which has
been maintained on the third floor of
the Hinton Building and which has
proved popular with visitors and out
of-town shoppers, has been removed to
the Chamber of Commerce quarters and
occupies the first of the two big rooms
on the front of the building. The new
location of the Rest Room should prove
particularly attractive to visitors; it is
a big, light, airy, comfortable room with
several big windows overlooking Main
Street.
Secretary Job, of the Chamber of
Commerce, says that the latch string of
that institution will be kept hanging on
the outside and country people having
business in the city will at all times be
welcome to use the rest room, to write
letters, leave their parcels or use the
lavatories.

POLICE THREATEN TO
CLOSE THE ALkRAMA
Thousands BattIed Right Royalty to
See Film Reproduction of "The
Lost Colony"

Three thousand two hundred paid ad-
missions to see the "Lost Colony" pic
lures shown at the Alkrama Theatre in
this city Tuesday afternoon and night
is the greatest days business ever re-
corded by this popular playhouse. Hun
dreds gained admission without pay,
crowding thru the doors after failing to
reach the box Office. Other hundreds
turned away despairing of ever reach
ing either the box Office or doors. The
theatre lobby and the street in front of
the theatre was so congested with
crowds that the police, unable to con-
troll the crowds, threatened to close the
theatre. This threat made Manager
John Burgess so hot in the collar that
for moment he and the Chief of Po-
lice were near coming to blows.
''The Lost Colony. a fve-reel cine
ma production of the first episode of the
early colonization of North Carolina,
was filmed on Roanoke Island this fall
under the direction of the State De-
partment of Education. An approprla-
ton of only $1,000 was available for
the making of a picture that ordinar-
lily would require an expenditure of
$4,000 or more. But thru the enter
prise and public spiritedness of North
eastern North Carolinians generally and
the people of Roanoke Island particu-
larly, the picture was made-made on
the very spot where Sir Walter Raj
eigh's colonists. landed and built the
first settlement.
The picture, made under many handl-
caps, is lacking in many dramatic de-
tails, but as far as it went it was good.
The photography by the Atlas Educa-
tional Film Co. of Chicago was excel
lent and the titles were especially good.
Everybody in Elizabeth City wanted to
see the first moving picture drama ever
filmed in this vicinity. And everybody
who had the physical prowess managed
to see it and were generally well
pleased with what they saw And now
everybody wants to see the filming OF
other historical episodes.
