The Sumter Creamery is making
It comparatively easy for farmers
throughout Sumter county to es-
tablish herds Of dairy cows. The
financial assistance guaranteed in
the purchase of cows and the as
surance of market for all the
cream products should encourage
hundreds OF farmers TO turn from
cotton TO cream as a money crop.
"A few farmers may be able to grow
cotton profitably as q main crop.

before admiring audiences at the
C1aiser-m Theater yesterday and is
on again tonight and matinee Satur-

aclron and it may safely be assumed
one OF the best in which this virila
screen star has appeared in several
months.

in it. In addition to it's clean, lire
pressible humor, there lis a human in
teresit touch in the domestic struggles
CT the newly married pair to combat
misfortune which wins sympathy and
keeps the interest of the spectators
at high tension. Much of the pic
lures deft appeal ITO the emotions is
due ndt only to good direction, but
the genuinely artistic work of the
two IrfRci psls;: Wanda Hawley and
Warter HERS The latter is really
the foremost figure in the story, the
action df which revolves chiefly
around his goodly proportions; he is
irldeed 'isome oak" to which the
trusting and shrinking Violet clings

Hawley does some of the best work
