Tomatoes in the Fall.

Perhaps very few people know they
can mature crop of tomatoes in
the month of November or Decem-
ber. says a correspondent of the
Weekly Citizen Of Hattiesburg.
1t takes about 40 days from time
Of sowing seed to develop crop Of
tomatoes. This crop always nets a
good profit during October, Novem-
Der and December, selling in New
Orleans for $1.00 and s1.25 per
crate Of four baskets. Express is Is
cents per crate. An acre produces
about ESQ bushels or 500 crates. So
you see this is the best paying crop
for us to grow in the fall months.

sections Of the ordinance realizing
that it would work a hardship on
many; but arrangements having been
made providing funds at low rate
Of interest for those unable to meet
the expense of making the connec-
tion, there is no longer any reason
for delay and further violation Of the
Ordinance.
Therefore, notice ID hereby given
to all property owners where the
sewerage mains have been provided
and the lateral connections have
been installed by the city, that from
and after the first day of September.

TOO WISE WIVES" AT
ELkO THEATER MONDAY

Men are four" says an ancient
Arabian proverb. "He who knows,
and knows that he knows-he is wise,
follow him. He who knows, and knows
not he knows-he is asleep wake
him. He who knows not and knows
not he knows not--he is a DOL, shun
him. He who knows not, and knows
he knows not-he is child, teach
him."
In the Lois Weber production,
"Too Wisa Wives" which comes to
the Elko theater next Monday and
Tuesday, the husbands fall Into the
second and fourth class:tications.
They need to be awakened an | to be
taught. But their enlightenment is
accompanied also by an ava kcn.ng
on the part of their wives. This is
a photoplay staged with conse,mmate
artistry. Author, director and tproduc-
err, accustomed to life in the highest

William S. Hart proves to be an
ideal sweetheart, cowboy and COVER
nor in his latest Paramount picture,
Three Word Brand which will be
shown at the Grand theater tonight,
Sunday and Monday. As the sweet
heart he tells the story Of his passion
in three words-'I love YOU" as the
cowboy, he gives brave battle to his
enemies and as governor of great
state for day, he tells big political
boss to ''go to hell"
Mr.. Hart never has been seen in a
western picture of greater drama and
appeal than "Three Word Brand"
For the first time in his career he
plays three distinct parts in a
photoplay. He is first seen as brave
settler who, after seeing his twin
sons safely away when he is menaced
by Indians, blows himself and the
savages into fragments to prevent
them from trailing the motherless
boys. They are rescued and later lose
track Of each other. One becomes the
governor Of state while the other
is rancher. How they meet and
what. follows, makes up one of the
most thrilling stories ever screened.

COMING TO THE REX THEATER

Pearl White, the celebrated FOX
star-who bears the label best
known film actress in the world--
is coming to the Rex thcater III her
latest picture entitled ANY Wife:
The film was directed by Herbert
Brennon. who stands in tho very front
rank in his field.
The story of ANY Wife, was
written by Julia Tolsva. 1t deals with
the case Of woman possessed Of a
devoted husband and u loving child,
and surrounded by every material
comfort; yet who surrenders to the
spirit Of discomfort because she feels
her life is too Notwithstanding
in social spice. This spirit, ever-in.
creasing, leads her into an unfortu-
nate situation as result OF which
her husband casts her off, though she
is, really innocent.
Despite this apparent tragedy the
story has u singularly happy ending,
which comes as an absolute surprise.

company's runs in July were 2,770,O5l

barrels This is an increase of about
5000 barrels daily over the month OF
June. The Sinclair connections in the

reason for the increase.
