JACKIE COOGAN At BEST
IN DADDY NOW PLAYING

Jackie Coogan again won the
hearts OF Casper audiences when he
appeared yesterday and last night at
the America theater in Daddy" a
production that gives the inimitable
Jackie a hundred and n oppor'
tunities to display his talents TO ex'
cellent advantage.
When one sees some OF the things
that Jack Coogan's son does in this
picture. one is forced to admit that
the young star could II permitted by
his producers make a picture that
would be all laughs, for he is as good
at this stun ns any of his contem'
porarles, II not n great deal better.
But those who arc managing young
Coogan have seen At that women
shall be given a chance to weep at
his pictures. and there is no doubt
that in Daddy there is plenty Of
opportunity for this sort of thing
although the incorporating OF light
and shadow makes tho production
one that leaves a lasting impression
of dramatic art rather than dramatic
emotion.
Daddy is the story of a boy who
was born the son OF a great musician
but who through tho caprice of fate
has been tossed about in poverty dur
ing the first six years of his life. II
is in this sixth year that fortune
again tosses him into the lap of
luxury. which tossing Is the con
ciusion OF the play.
Many fine scenes and many hne
characterizations are brought out in
Daddy" which is being shown to-
day, Sunday and Monday.

CORN IS VALUABLE
CROP FOR MONTANA

Corn, according to the bulletin, is

yersificatiOn upon which permanent
agriculture must be built 1t says:
ut is doubtful If any other move
nent augurs better for Montana's ag-
gicultural future than the increase of
corn growing in the state during the
past four years. In 1919 the corn
acreage in the state was 1873 900,
compared to $4,000 In 1922. The
yield in 1919 was $4,000 bushels, as
compared to 6,475 900 in 1922. It is
estimated that 1900, 900 acres in
Montana. an area equal to three
fcurths Of the combined corn area of
iowa and Illinois, is suitable to corr
raising.
But why all this enthusiasm about
corn? Simply this

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
II Mixed with Sulphur IL DaFkens
So Naturally Nobody
Can Tell

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grandmotl-
er's recipe, and folks are again using it
to keep their hair q good, ven color,
which is quite sensible, as Sss are iiv-
ing in an age when a youthful appear
ance is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task Of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
uct, improved by the addition of other
ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" 1t is very popu-
lar because nobody can discover it has
been applied. Simply tsloisten your
comb or a soft brush with if and draw
this through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few applica-
tons, it also produces that soft iustre
and appearance of abundance which is
so attractive,

It is the best finishing feed for hogs
and may be harvested economically by
hogging off Or by threshing in a reg

the opportunity for the farmer on

tillage program. AS a successful in
terrified crop it provides an income
from summer titled land that would
otherwise be lying idle. Experience
has shown that small grains grown
on land that has properly grown corr

sometimes better than grains on
ground that has been fallow the year
previous.
