GRAND

Take 1t From Me-" the big Gorgeous
musical comedy which amused New
York, Chicago, Boston and Philadel-
phia last season will be seen at the
Grand theater Monday and Tuesday
nights.
Take 1t From Me" is a winner. AS
a conglomeration of comedy and kick
ings, it sets q new pace of light enter
tainment to clock by. AS a plot model
it is better than the average. As a
medium for philosophy designed to dis
pei the dull cares of business it is d
relevation. All in all, it is A / amuse-
ment. Ii is one of the breeziest,
swiftest, most tuneful and altogether
delightful musical comedies to hit the
trail this season, if not for several
seasons.
Take 1t From Ne" not only has a
story which can be traced without re-
sorting TO a finger print system, but
delightful music, good business through
out, sparkling lines, tip-top dancing and
all sorts of snap and dash.
viii b. tombstone, the c~artoonist,
wrote the book and lyrics. The lines
are laugh getters from start TO finish.

sic, and it is quite the best he has done,
while the whole has been produced by
Jos. NJ. Gates.
The story concerns a young chap
who discovers that he will inherit the
controlling interest in a big depart
ment store if he runs it for a year al
a profit. Tom and his two pals make
the attempt only to find that the for
mer manager has planned to defeat
them. So they start into wreck the
business as the only way to get even.
Their schemes, however, turn out the
opposite of what they expect and the
hero wins a fortune and a sweetheart
when the final curtain drops.
The new play is seasoned with some
of the most ~tuneful melodies that the
stage has had to offer since it began
to get from under the avalanche OF
war plays. One of the best of the big
collection is q song entitled, Good,
Bad, Beautiful Broadway" Others
that are encored over and over are
The Tanglefoot," Tomorrow" THE
Call of the Cozy Little Home" "Ex-
plantations and Il Like to Linger II
the Lingerie"

This Week
AlCAZAR

A wonderful picture. That will be
the opinion of those who see Carnival
at the Alcazar theater Tuesday and
Wednesday. Indeed. from the point of
view of photography and general pro-
duction, both of which are as near per-
lection as makes no matter, this is so.
But what strikes so forcibly is the es-
sentially southern emotional atmos-
phere with which the film is penetrated.
One may or may not approve OF the
purple passion" with which the story
is surcharged-it is all a question OF
taste--but to make the play successful
it is necessary to invest the characters
with the ardent Compartments of the
south, which the actors do very reails-
tically.
Young America will never grow tired
of watching cowboys display their skill
with the lariat, or lasso, as 1t Is also
known. And where is the American
lad today who has not tried to emulate
this proficiency of the cowboy? Com
ing to the Alcazar theater on Thursday
is a splendid western photoplay attrac-
ton entitled Devil Dog Dawson.
starring Jack Hoxie. Hoxie, famous
for his roping ability. performs a num-
Der of tricks and aids the dramatic
action of the plot of this story with the
lariat. 1t is an interesting and enter
tanning sidelight and the local youth
viii without doubt enjoy it immensely.

LEAF FIELD HEAD
DEFINES POLICY

Lexington KY, Feb. G.-Landlord
members of the Burlcy Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Marketing AS
Sociation should make their contracts
with tenants for 1922 and succeeding
years so as to leave no doubt of the
! owners right to control all tobacco
produced on their lands and should
fuse to rent to tenants who arc not
members, Joseph Passonncau, chief Of
the field service division of the asso-
Iciation, said today.
There seems to be some mis,n-
derstanding as to the statement made
recently that landlords would be pre-
sumcd to control the crops grown on
their lands in 1922 mad thereafter"
Mr.. Passonneau said when asked what
effect the application of that clause
of the contract would have on control
Of tobacco grown for the next five
years on lands Of members Of the
association.
Tenant POOlers' Status Unchanged
tenants who belong to the asso-
citation, of course, should be in the
same position in the future as this
year, insofar as their relationship to
the association is concerned" he said.
Nothing should be done to lessen the
interest of loyal tenant members in
the organization. But landlords be-
longing to the association cannot lc-
gally rent land to nonmcmbcrs on a
crop sharing basis.
81 believe it would be good policy
for landlords to refuse to rent land to
tenants who are unwilling to sign the
association contract, but in the event
that this cannot be done, it will be
legally necessary for them to make
such contracts with their tenants as
to provide for the control and sale Of
the tobacco remaining absolutely in
the hands of the landlord.
"To avoid any possible difficulty,
however, it will be preferable for
landlords to insist that all their ten
ants join the association. In short,
so far as the association is concerned,
it's relationship with tenant members
always will be on par with it's re-
lationship to landlord members, but
in the future landlords should guard
against making contracts with their
tenants which in any way can be
construed as being in opposition to
their contracts with the association,
which provides that all of the tobacco
which they control, directly or indi-
rectly, must move through association
channels"

Yesterday car of number one cur
ed Porto Rico Sweet Potatoes were
shipped from The Manning Curing
House. The car Of $50 crates was
sold by the South Carolina Sweet
Potato Association to firm in
Washington, D. G. The fancy price
at which the Association is selling
sweet potatoes is another fine illus
tration of the value of Cooperative
Marketing.
Mr.. L. H. Lewis, marketing agent
of the Extension Forces with head
quarters in Florence, was here to
supervise the grading and packing Of
the potatoes.
A great many farmers called at the
curing house while the potatoes were
being handled. Mr.. Lewis was able
to give~them great deal Of valuable
information and demonstrations in
the handling of sweet potatoes for
the market.
I would like for every farmer who
possibly can to make it point to
come to the curing house sometime
when car is being loaded. His time
will be proftably spent.
l wish to ask those farmers having
peas, velvet beans or soy beans for
sale to list them with me.
If you have any of these for sale
drop me line or see me and tell me
the amount of them you have> to Of
fer, your best price, condition of
seed-whether shelled or in hull
and the variety.

Major Gen. Harbord, deputy chief
of staff, in statement issued at
the War Department today after
their return recently from 1000
ihlle Inspection trip of army camp
commands within the United States.
"At every station on the Mexican

lngs were held with the citizens,
at their request, to permit them
to present their claims for more
troops. They were in every case
assured that the War Department.
avs doing its best with the limited
numbers at it's disposal"
Sentiment in South
"a strong sentiment was found
throughout the South and South
west that the army should not
under any circumstances go below
its present strength" the statement
added.
Housing conditions for troops at
Camps Knox, Ky, Bcnning, Ga, and
Douglas, Ariz., Columbus, Ohio, bar
racks and several other stations
are very poor the statement said.
"Officers and soldiers are not given
the consideration i nthc matter of
quarters which public opinion de
mands for prisoners i'm the pcnitcntiar
les of several States, it was added
"'Thc Inconvenience and inadeQuacy
of the quarters furnished in several
places is nothing short of shameful
They are not as good as those provid-
ed for prisoners and lunatics in any
ordinarily progressive community.
Satisfactor yto All Branches
"The new military policy by which
sists of the regular army, the Ma
tional Guard and organized reserves

three branches. Relations between
the regular army and the other two
componcnts of the service arc every
where improving and leave little to
be desired. The National Guard is in
creasng an dthc presence of so many
veterans i'll it's ranks and among the
organized reserves promises well for
the future"
The statement in conclusion said
the morale of the troops ''consid-
cring the adverse conditions, is cx-
ccllcnt," but "thcre is everywhere a
great uncasincss as to the future,
especially among officers who were
appointed after the war. No doubt
before the end Of the year with the
mcagcr appropriations available con
ditions will grow woEse, but the pre-
sent morale, maintained under such
adverse conditions, is Il very high tri-
butte TO the character Of the American
soldier and officer, and to army wo-
men,"
Relations between the military and
civil authorities at all posts visited
were found satisfactory and no com.
plaint was received by the two Of
