If ever the music at dancing club in Phoenix was exceptional, it Is at the Blue Bird. Since the introduc- ton of the new musical combination the attendance has been on the in- crease nightly. Those who follow the musical offerings say that the new instrumentation at the Blue Bird club is the best Phoenix has had this season.
 This is the orchestra that will hold forth at Riverside all season. The fox trots of the band are revelation to dancers and the dreamy waltzes take precedence over anything yet offered This is a sure-enough i'm ported orchestra and each member is an artist The orchestra remains al the Blue Bird regularly, and if you have not heard it. drop in and heal a real Organized band.

 Tom Mix never made bad picture and this one is just a jump ahead of anything he has made.
 With the feature is seen five acts of vaudeville. It will be the aim oi the management of the Ramona from now on to serve vaudeville as a regu lar dish and with the picture it makes an attractive double bill for the one price. The Mix picture remains for today and tomorrow.

CHAPTER CCCCI.

SSSS1.
 Evvy's voice trailed off and we sat staring at each other while I waited for the end of her sentence. After a time, however, I realized that Evvy had gone as far as the deEcacy l had just discovered in her would permit.
 For a minute I hesitated, chained by 4nomentary reversion to my old conception of Evvy. Then the tight grip of her hands on mine, the plead ing honesty of her wide blue eyes and the wistful pallor of her hag- gard face laid the ghost of that old feeling.
 Suddenly knew that liked Evvy, that I respecter her and that back of both feelings was a basic one. I trusted Evelyn Mason. I couldn't blurt out my discovery that she was big soul, but I could act on 1t.
 'Evvy, l understand just what you want to say and can't. Of course it looks queer for Lane to give away the mate to the taiisman which was his first gift to Val But if he's given 1t to Jim and not to me. would it impress you differently"
 I'm not sure, confessed Evvy. 'FI don't like the idea of his giving it away. It should have meant more"-
 "It was given to me to use for Jim and me-" I interjected. ''It was given me to send Lane if either of us ever needed a friend. Jim was kept in town the last night Lane was here, there wasn't even good-by for Inem- buC Lane WOuIO nave given 1t to me in any event. Val turned against me-and this was his way of making it up to me"
 You're emphasizing Lanes ca pacity for friendship. I was wonder ing about his indifference. But you don't think I need to worry for fear Vars going to lose her happiness just when she's capable of understand how much she wants it?" asked Evvy simply.
 "i think Lanes big and loyal" I replied slowly, and went on to quote from his own words. He'd never go back on anyone he'd ever cared about. Once 8 friend, always a friend is his motto"
 "Rut you're saying he's loyal That might mean he'd force himself to to stick to Val because of 9 sense of duty, out of fine principles. You

A GOOD RECORD.

Mr.. L. A. Queen of Benton coun-
ty was in town last Friday selling
chickens and eggs. Mr., Queen sold
SO hens for $4318, one hen brought
him 1920. Since the first Of January
Mr.. Queen has sold 240 dozen eggs.
If they brought an average OF 3Oc a
dozen he received for his eggs SlZ.Uo.
That is an amount equal to TWO DaleS
of seven-cent cotton, and he has more
than nine months more of the year
to go. Now he could raise chicken
feed instead of cotton and from his
flock of hens he would. make more
money in the year than he would
make raising cotton.
Of course, if everybody should turn
attention to chickens and eggs the
market would soon be over supplied
and the price would not be so good
but everybody will not do that. Not
everyone that is fixed for it, not ev-
eryone that wants to do that sort OF
business but for all who go into 1t
there will be a good business. Eggs
is one of the most universal foods IN
the country. Not a hotel or res
taurant or lunch counter in the lane
that does not serve eggs.
We venture the assertion that d
hundred good hens we'll fed and hous-
ed and looked after will bring in more
money this year than the average
one-horse farmer will get from his
cotton crop. Why not give more at.
tention to the hen? 1t is easy tt
raise the feed for a flock of chickens
the housewife, as rule. likes to lool
after them and feed them and gather
up the eggs. 1t would interfere bu'
little with the usual labor of the mar
person on the farm. There is money
in it.-Southefn Sentinel.

Miss May Threkeld was one of the

1t was also decided that our basket
ball team will play in the county
championship game on Field Day.
This team has a record to be proud
of. 1t has beaten Tula High 24-6,
and the fast delegation from Taylor
has twice fallen before the rapid on
slaught of this team; the first time
35-11 and the second time 14-1O. The
only team which has beaten us in the
county, with bona tide students, was
Tula early in the season. we also
have won several games in Pontotoc
county. We are execting the boys to
defend their record on Field Day.
Our commencement exercises begin
here Sunday, April 10, at IL O'Clock,
at which time, Vice President N. 3.

DON'T FORGET.

The Pig Club Ralley at Oxford,
April 8th. Let all of the boys and
men of Lafayette County who are in
terested in the growing of better hogs
and pure bred hogs meet at Oxford on
the above date. There will be lots of
pure bred hogs here for sale. We
will also have some very fine specl-
mems and a hog Specialist from the
A. & nj. College to show how to judge
pig.
The hog business is permanent
and profitable industry and all of the
| farmers of Lafayette could increase
their income by improving the quality
of their hogs and giving them better
attention. If there is farmer in
Lafayette who has not got pure bred
hogs, he certainly ought to get them
at once. There is only small mar
gin between the pure bred and mixed.
Most any body in the County can get
a pure bred if he wants one. Let all
who have pure bred hogs to sell bring
them out and. let those who have not
pure bred hogs or need new blood br-
ing your crate and come prepared to
take new hog home with you. Let's
make this one of the greatest days in
the history of Lafayette County.
The programe will start at eleven
o'clock with music in the Court house
yard and will continue with pig Judg-
ing auction sales, etc, until the buyers
and sellers are satisfied. Come and
be part of the big programe.

Mississippi Sun, 1st inst;
Slow progress has been made dur

Combs. general manager OF the Mar
land interests for this operation
when seen by the Sun representative
Yesterday afternoon, said there was
no news as yet. When pressed TO
make q statement regarding the out
look, he said:
"Preparations for resuming work on
the oil we'll have been seriously delay
ed. if not permanently blocked, by
the failure so far to secure all the
leases necessary to put the propo-
sition over. This condition is due
principally to the refusal or fallure
of certain parties to sign up, and the
tendency among others to delay
signing. Making it necessary. to CAL
ON them several times, the rams ana
roads slowing down the procedure
very materially. ;.
"This is most unfortunate and dls-
coufaging and we feel very pessl-
mistic about our prospects,. One
fact we know, that in order at this
time to secure the finances for tins
work it is absolutely necessary to
secure the leases, and it is improb-
able that we will be able to do thus
'1f, as it now appears, 1t remains
impossible for us to finance further
work on account of the refusal and
failure of a certain few to sign up,
it is desirable to express to the many
who have so patiently and willingly
assisted US, both by furnishing leas-
es and time, our sincere thanks and
gratitude. Their efforts toward the
progress of this proposition is GER
tainly commendable, but there are al
ways those people in every communl-
ty who retard progress, and condl-
tions generally now are such that on
lv very few can block any develop
ment. 1t is evident at the present
time that unless some of those who
stand in the way move, it will be
useless to make much further effort. "

SPRING EXHIBIT.

The Junior Clubs in Home Demon
stration work in the county held their
spring exhibit at the sales room in
the Bank of Oxford last Saturday.
Two clubs, Indian Mound and Bur
CESS, were 100 per cent with their
displays. Altogether, thirty-seven
girls had displays of sewing. When
we compare this with the eight that
exhibited in the 1919 fall show, it
gives us a line on the way the inter-
est in the work is growing.
One feature of the show was the
eggs and butter display. Mr.. Jolly,
the butter maker of the Sardis Cream
cry, assisted Miss Agnes Donaldson
state Dairy Specialist, in scoring but
ter. 1t is to the credit of our people
that the lowest score on butter was
83 per cent, while the highest was
| 96 per cent. All butter was scored
against perfection. Mrs. Gregory hac
the best dozen white eggs and Mrs
Mart Crouch had the best dozer
brown eggs. The uniformity in size
shape, and color in eggs was very
noticeable.
[ Grace Ayles, of Burgess, had the
best pound of butter, while Mrs. B
w. Jones had the second best.
The children's garden display wa
led by Hassel Smith and Sarah Fran
ces gLawshee.
The sewing display made by th'
pupils of Miss Dulon Cole at Burgess
school was alo exhibited at the sam'
place. This display is an eye opene
as to what an enthusiastic teache
can accomplish with no equipment a
