AT THE LYRIC

The Lyric bill for the last half of the
week starting Thursday offers three
acts of unadulterated laughter, one act
of aerial gymnastics above the average,
and fifth act of classical and grand
opera singing, which made a distinct
appeal.
The Chandon trio, consisting of two
women and one man, almost an eitirelyl
new line of stunts, performed on a
swinging hoop and a vault bar. 1t IS
above the usual run of openers" and
was applauded generously.
With the second act. the fun starts.
Creedon and Davis in a comedy song
and-patter skit, II Could Smash YOU
depends upon a series of comical falls
and some original malaprops for its
humor. Davis, 250-pounder, en-
deavors to trip the light fantastic and
no matter how hard be hits the floor, he
comes up laughing.
The Cosmopolitan trio, with Pompeii
Tomasini, Fernando Wuarneri and Beth
Mccoy sing in Spanish and italian and
won the approval of the patrons and al
most stopped the show with their only
English song my Little Gypsy Sweet
beart" Their voices are well blended
and the acts shows the time and care
spent in its preparation.
Music of another kind is furnished
by Jack King and George Beatty in
Artistic Apple-Sauce.' Both have
fair voices and their songs, go across
with plenty of pep and comedy.
The big laugh comes in the finale
when Jack Conway and company pre-
sent "In the Cellar" The scene is laid
in a city basement where two friends
adjourn for a friendly drink without
the knowledge of the wife. And then
the visitor proceeds to drink the bottle
nearly empty and spills>th the rest. The
final curtain drops with every spectator
in their seats laImhIng too hard to

MOST OF COTTON
ALREADY GATHERED
Good Crop Is Harvested In Au-
tauga County

tPRATTVILLE, Ala, Oct. 2.-(Spe-
cial. Enthusiastically all the cotton
grown in this county has been gathered
on farms that have a supply of labor,
and all the cotton has opened and is
ready to be gathered. This is on the
whole very good crop year for this
county. All farmers have grown
sufficient corn to run them another
year, and many of them are sowing
vetch, and other winter cover crops,
now and more will be sowed later when
the cotton is picked out
The supply of sugar. cane and the
syrup made therefrOm will be short this
fall on account of the seed cane be-
ing killed last winter. But there will
probably be. sufficient to supply the
home need. The pecan crop is also
short this year.

DAYLIGHT SAVING
PLAN DISCUSSED
BY LOCAL c. OF c.
Splendid Arguments Are
Advanced For Its
Use Here

Among matters 20 be considered
by the III Centro Chamber of Com.
merce board Of directors ~ the
meeting Wednesday night win be
the advisability Of daylight saw.
ing plan for III Centre.
The arguments for and against
the plan are TO he discussed and
possibly some recommendation will
be made Some of the arguments
in favor of the plan are given as
follows:
Daylight saving was successful
conservation measure during the
war and should be as valuable in
peace times.
1t would help conserve electri,
power.
1t promotes labor efficiency and
economy of power.
1t makes outdoor life of greater
value aud gives an opportunity fol
more recreation.
N ~ mas been voluntarily Adopted
by many eastern industrial center,
either on the initiative of eommuni
ties or under permission of stat,
: laws. t&Af k fs
1t has proved popular under every
test in the eastern communities
during the past five years, notwith.
standing that railroad time and time
of competing cities and localities
have not been changed.
That daylight saving is local
problem to be decided by the temp
er of the people without regard to
state or national practice.
The Los Angeles Chamber Of
Commerce is giving the plan much
consideration with a view to re-
commencing it's adoption in Los
Angeles. One of the arguments
brought up by those who are skep-
teal of the convenience of the plan
is that its adoption in Los Angeles
without II similar action by other
cities in Southern California, would
cause some confusion.
