Teams Bright.

Very rapidly by fast workouts for
two hard fought hours each evening,
"Chief" Whitman is rounding his

sive hard long drives of Harris, the
nimble footwork of Capt. Ennis and
his running mates a very promising

the careful guidance Of Miss Wilson
a Field Ball team is taking form
which promises to rival the soccer

TWO OUTSTANDING
PICTURES COMING
Ozark Secrets" And FLAMING
Youth" Will Be Shown AT
Empire Next Week

Packed with thrilling incidents from
start to finish, the Paramount picture
Ozark Secrets" starring Dorothy
Dalton, comes to the Empire Theatre
next Monday and Tuesday.
The story deals with the willful
daughter of wealthy parents who falls
in love with a British army officer
and who, through an accidental fall
from horse, becomes paralyzed and
is thrown into the hands of an Egypt
ian physician which precipitates a
struggle for her love and honor be-
tween the army officer and the doctor.
The picture has an exotic background,
the locale of the story being divided
between Cairo, Egypt, rich in oriental
color, and Long Island with it's fash
ionable homes of the rich.
The most famous fapper of mod
ern fiction steps from the pages of
Warner Fabian's sensational chest
seller" to the screen in the person of
winsome little Colleen Moore at the
Empire on Wednesday and Thursday.
AS little Pat, Colleen essays the role
of native young fiapper whose ca
reer is one frivolous love affair after
another. Pat, to use the phraseology
Of her own set, is terrible "necker''
and King Jazz is her god, as it is to
most of her associates. Conventions
simply don't, belong in her code. But
she has an awakening, and it comes
in most dramatic and romantic way.
Milton Stills as Carey Scott has the
leading male role opposite Colleen,
while Myrtle Stedman is to be seen as
the beautiful indulgent mother of
daughters of the world of jazz of
whom Pat is the youngest.

Interest Shown In The :
Process.

In the large hen house Of T. w.
Lust, short distance west of Costen,
the Agricultural class of the POGO
moke High School culled large flock
Of brown Leg-hom hens. The keen

their son Tom urged the boys to dem

confidence that he can tell good one
from bad one and such terms as

of young farmers.
1t is with regrets that the invita-
tions from numerous farmers to Gull
their flccks can not be accepted. AL
though every farmer cannot be visited

fort will be made to- visit as many
farmers as possible and drive home
