Rialto-Harold Lloyd in
Girl Shy

Harold Lloyd's latest comedy. Girl
Shy" opened its second week at
Moore's Theater yesterday, with the
usual large and appreciative audience,
and the bespectacled comedian made
them laugh as heartily as ever. Girl
Shy is a typical Lloyd laugh maker,
and many believe it to be the most
amusing of all the Lloyd comedies.
In addition to being funny, it car
ries many daring and thrilling stunts,
and the star is never found wanting in
pathos, comedy and thrill.
The picture is the story OF tailor's
apprentice, who, although apparently
terrified by the presence of the tender
sex, believes he knows them thoroughly
and writes a book about his imaginary
love affairs and the proper method of
handling different types of modern girls.
The Rialto Magazine and another
short subject. with Director Wild's in
terpretative score are added attractions.

TURN HAIR DARK
| WITH SAGE TEA
tf Mixed with Sulphur 1t Darkens
So Naturally Nobody
Can Tell

The ofd-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grandmoth-
er's recipe, and folks are again using it
to keep their hair 4 good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as we are nv
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
net, 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 moisten your
comb or a soft brush with it 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-
tions, # also produces that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which IS
So attractive.

TO CONSIDER A FAIR
AT LEGION MEETING
LOCAL POST MAY SPONSOR A
COUNTY FAIR THIS FALL.
COTTON PLAN IN VIEW.

A special meeting Of the Davis
Daniel post of the American Legion
will be held tonight to hear a report
from a committee appointed at the
last regular meeting to investigate the
advisability of holding a county fair
in Dawson in the early part of the
fall of 1924. A number Of prominent
business and professional men of Daw-
son have been approached on the sub
ject and have declared that they
thought much benefit would come
from such a fair. A tentative plan
will be submitted to the post tonight
Another movement, having as its OBJ
ject to educate farmers of the county
in the most effective means of fighting
the boil weevil, may be brought be-
fore the body. The, outstanding points
OF the plan are that sixty acres of cot
ton shall be cultivated by 90 boys,
probably half of whom will be ne
groes; that the six banks of the coun-
ty shall finance the youthful farmers
and insure whatever advances that
may be made shall have a note on
the cotton produced as security and
that committee composed of legion
aires shall have charge of the work,
seeing that methods approved by the
state college of agriculture be used in
cultivating the cotton.
1t is believed that such a plan will
accomplish great saving in the coun-
ty through showing the farmers
whereby they can check the weevil
and that it will have good effect up
on the morale of the county generally.
This plan, likewise, bears the approval
of several substantial men OF the
county
