domestic squabble brought the two

Webb Gets Patent
Rights on Feeder
For Young Chicks

Pensacola has numerous industries
and others are being added every day
or so, but A. r. Webb, president of
the Escambia Poultry Growers AS
ISOLATION, comes through with a
unique one. He has perfected q
chick feeder and has obtained patent
rights on his invention. Within the
next month he says that his product
will be turned out for sale throughout
the country by a local tinsmith
With his knowledge of poultry rails
ing, Mr.. Webb has built feeder pc
cuIiarly adapted for properly feeding
and watering young chickens. TIE
affair is simple. 1t is built of gai-
vanized tin. The trough lts:lf is
semi circular, &C inches in length,
and the ends, which are soldercd wa
tertight, extend upward several
inches as a support for the roof, nine
inches wide. This roof is detach-
abe but yet, when placed property m
it's grooves, makes it impossible for
rain to get to the feed.
An adequate watering trough is also
cleverly worked under the roof of the
feeder, and it is also detachable.
Mr. Webb has had booklets dcscrib-
ing mis- feeder printed and is mailing
them to all leading poultry growers of
the country. He hopes to build up
a good business on the merits Of his
invention.

~ "6Y RsGSlT Of PURCHASE "

Norma Talmadge's latest Selznick
Revival is by Right of Purchase" di-
rected by Charles Miller, which will
be the feature attraction at the Isis
theatre tomorrow. In the words of q
prominent New York reviewer: Miss
Talmadge goes on apace. No other
picture star has made such rapid up
ward strides as this beautiful and
talented girl has in the past twelve
months" And she is progressing all
the time; each picture surpassses its
predecessors-that is the open secret
of the tremendous popularity of this
charming star.
by Right of Purchase" is a high
ly dramatic photoplay of metropoli-
tan society life in which the heroine,
Margot Hughes, marries Chadwick
Hines soledly for his money, despite
her infatuation with Dick Derwent, a
handsome profligate. Hines loves her
passionately, but it takes many
months and much suffering before
Margot works out her salvation, and
finds that she truly loves the man to
whom she thought she belonged only
by right of purchase. A stirring
photodrama with a punch, and re-
plete with heart interest.
