THE RIGHT GIRL
PLEASING SHOW
Proves Decidedly Best Girl Show
Seen In Americas In Several
Years

Decidedly the best musical-girl
show seen in Americas in several
wears, although not a world beater,
was 1.-The Right Girl" which appear
ed at the Rylander theater last night.
Coming with only the ordinary sort
Of announcements, and with nothing
in advance to distinguish it from the
more or less sorry alleged musical
offerigs which have been seen this
season, comparatively few ksQple
were out to see the show, and a good
per centage of those were from out
of town. /. But all were well repaid
for the time spent. The whole COM
pany could sing, the girls were ac-
tually young and pretty; the cos
tunes were really bright and clean;
the scenery was abundant and attrac-
tive, and the comedians We're fun
ny-all constituting a too rare COM
binatiop, especially in these days of
As corn and $3.50 seats.
The story of the play is of the
usual musical comedy type-Palm
Beach hotel, girl, rich and irate faith
err wealthy young man in love with
the girl and out of luck with father,
etc. The story doesn't matter much,
anyway. There were three acts, each
with an abundance of catchy songs,
spicy comedy, pretty clothes and good
DANCING and chor1S work
Gladys Dore, pretty pink-stock-
inged and nimble blonde, who filled
the ingenue role, proved herself a
coincidence of ability as well as a
sweet singer, and afforded much of
the life of the production. Dorothy
Tierney as the leading lady sang well
and filled her part capably. Wade
Booth, the young man, showed a
splendid voice for musical comedy,
wnlle Dave Mallen, as the young ex-
justice of the peace and more or less
shyster lawyer, was the producer of
many laughs. Cfas. P. Morrison, as
the father of the girl and an easy
prey for the bootlegger, was splen-
did comedian. Other parts were well
taken.
"The Right Girl" proved that not
all the musical shows on the road this
season are bad, despite previous. ex-
periences. Americas will have anoth-
er taste of musical comedy next Mon
day night when "Irene" will hold the
boards. This should be a splendid
production. It's music is tuneful and
its lines witty. The company carries
its own orchestra and promises much.

set in two facing rows, 10 stalls in
each row. This method takes the
strong light out Of the cows eyes, and
permits the sunshine to strike the gut
tiers. Sunshine helps to keep the stable
healthful, as it kills germs. Over both
the feed and litter alleys are carrier
tracks, which save labor when the feed
Is being carried to the managers and.
the litter lie being removed. The tracks
over the litter alleys run to the
manure pile, shown at the rear and
one side Of the barn.
Fresh air inlets are located at the
center Of the stable ceilings, and are
connected with chutes that lead to the
openings that may be seen just above
the foundation wall in the picture.
Inside, at the center Of the building, is
the foul air shaft that is connected
with the suction ventilator on the roof
Thus is the foul air sucked out OF
the stable and replaced by fresh air,
which comes in so that there Is no
draft on the animals. The managers
at the stall heads are continuous and
are built of concrete. They should
have slight pitch to a drain at one
end, so that they may be hosed out
when cleaning is required. The stall
partitions are of steel, and are set into
the concrete when the floor is laid.
The roof Of the building is covered
with prepared roofing, and the barn is
equipped with lightning rods, as all
farm buildings should be.
This is a completely equipped, we'll

lacked conservatories the hunter
turned them down. Finally the agent

CALOMEL Good

Bones.

You know what calomel is. It's mer-
curry; quicksilver. Calomel is danger
GUS. It crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, cramping and sickening you.
Calomel attacks the bones and should
never be put into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get bottle Of Dod-
sons Liver Tone for few cents which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and If it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just go back and get your
money.
Don't take calomell It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you days

Government by Commission.

The commission form of city gov
eminent varies widely in the different
states. The characteristic feature is
the combining of all legislative and
executive powers in single body, usu-
ally consisting of from three to seven
members. These members are elected
at large. The mayor, as a rule, is one
of the commission, but has no more
power than his associates, though be
ing the official head Of the city. The
administrative work of the commission
is divided into departments, each
headed by one commissioners. AS a
safeguard the commission form of gov
eminent almost invariably includes ini-
tiative, referendum and recall.

The value Of a dairy herd has been
proven to many thousands of farmers
since the prices of grains have been
down, Cheap feed means cheap milk
production, and milk means a weekly
or monthly check from the creamery
or milk distributing companies in the
cities.
There are two essentials to profit
able dairying. The first is well-bred
animals, either pure-breds or grades.
1t costs little more to feed a pure-bred
than a scrub, while the milk produc-
ton is several times as great. It re-

HAIR NETS AND ARMENIANS
Interesting Comparison Between Cost
of the Former and the Clothing
of the Latter.

The hair net milady wears would
clOthe several orphan children in Ar
menia for more than six months. That
is, the cost Of them would. Even Ar
menian orphans are sometimes more
modest than milady.
Experts have figured that $1.S0 will
completely attire in unbleached mus
lin garments a child Of the Far East
relief orphanages of the Transcauca-
sian famine zones for six months. And
experts also figure that milady's bill
for hair nets during like period would
be in considerable excess of that
amount depending upOn-well, upon
several things. Hair nets are of I'M
certain durability under any circum-
stances. And milady is not always
over cautious. Even an expert hest
tates to hazard some guesses.
The Near East relief has just pur-
chased 100000 yards of unbleached
muslin for summer garm ents for its
wards in Transcaucasia. Where is
there a bill-maddened household head

MADE POOR RENT COLLECTOR

Bachelor Joe Stokes, the druggist,
never gets peace from his storytelling
friends.
Joe owns some rental property in
one of the industrial districts. Things
have been a bit slow in industry lately
and Joe has had trouble collecting his
rents. His real estate broker con-
stantly was returning word that he
could not collect.
'Tll go out and collect it myself"
Mr.. Stokes said, a bit peevishly-that
is, if Joe ever gets that way.
Anyhow, a day or two later J0a

Late that afternoon he returned to
his drug store. An unusual little smile

mouth.

quires no more time or labor to care
for the one than for the other.
At the last census-1920-less than
8 per cent of the dairy cows in the
United States were pure-breds. The
average milk production per COW was
under 1000 pounds. 1t is a mighty
poor pure-bred, and one that breeders
do not consider worth keeping, that
does not give more than twice that
amount.
The second requirement for success
with dairy herds is the right sort of
housing Dairy animals to produce at
their maximum must have warm, we'll
ventilated quarters during the five or
six months they are not on pasture.
They must have a continuous supply
of fresh water. Those are the re-
Guirements for maximum milk flow.
Shown in the Illustration is the type
of barn that dairymen build to house
their herds. This dairy barn is small
designed to house 20 cows-but it
has the requirements that go to make
dalrying profitable. 1t is we'll con-
structed, weathertight frame building,
set on a concrete foundation. The
stable floor is of concrete; also, max
ing 1t easy to keep clean and sanitary.
Above the dairy stable is NOW room
for a supply of hay large enough TO
carry the animals through the winter,
while by adding a silo at one end
the dairyman will have storage
capacity for all the feed the cows will
require during the months they are in
doors.
The barn is of what is known as
''plank frame construction" method of
building that eliminates posts in the
NOW floor, the roof being self-support-
ing. The barn is So feet wide, a size
that barn architects have found to be
the most economical to build and suf-
fieient for two rows of stalls, feed
ing alley through the center and lit
ter alleys along the sides.
The floor plan that accompanies the
exterior view of the building shows
how the stalls are arranged. They are
