Hollywood. And so little Miss
zilchworth, modern Cinderella, re-
ceived a Hollywood contract"
You often read stories with end
ings like that. The inference Is that
Miss Zilchworth, Miss Twerp,- or
whatever her name happens to be,
has achieved something very enyi-
able and now stands on the golden
fringe Of movie stardom.
But the truth is that the Misses
Zilchworth and Twerp are destined
to become members of studio stock
companies. For long time, bar
ring a real. Cinderella miracle, they
will be just names on a long roster
Of undistinguished men and women
who, though technically "in" the
movies, still are trying to win a
chance to act for them.
They'll report regularly for work
or study, and over a period OF
months will put in more time at the
studios than do full-fiedged stars.
"Stock girls" are kept busy, but
not at acting. Their chief duty is
posing for publicity pictures. In Au-
gust they don furs and heavy winter
sports costumes and tramp around
in snowbanks made Of powdered
gypsum and uncooked corn fakes.
In January they hop into bathing
suits and frisk around the edges OF
chilly pools.
Throughout the year they're con-
stantly on call for stunt" pictures.
They must pose with animals, birds,
freakish inventions, minor celebri-
ties, prize babies, swordfish, and Wis
iting winners Of movie essay con-
tests.
Toby Was Tops ..
Most publicity pictures are known
indelicately, but practically. as "leg
art" For this sort Of thing, Toby
Wing was the champion "stock girl
Of all Hollywood history. She APP
peared in only a few bit parts in
movies, but her face and figure
were known the nation over in thou
sands Of printed pictures.
She actually made personal APP
pearance tours, though there must
have been few people in the audi
ences who remembered ever seeing
her on the screen. And there was a
time when she received more fan
mail than some Of the top stars on
the Paramount lot.
Miss Wing couldn't see much
point in remaining on the stock list,
SO she went into vaudeville. And,
incidentally, she's engaged to Pinky
Tomlin.
Over at Warner Brothers is blond
! Eleanor Bailey, runner-up for still
picture honors. For three years she
has posed in bathing suits and such,
and also has danced in several mu-
steals.
Rarely Graduate
Stock Company players are paid
from $50 to $75 week. You can
count on your fingers the stars and
prominent featured players, who
have been graduated from stock
ranks.
A stock girls big hope is to be
seen and noticed on the screen, but,
even when she wins a speaking part.
there Is heart breaking likelihood
that it will be left out Of the pic
ture. And then she's just another
face on the cutting-room floor.
In Importance, she's only a step
above a Hollywood extra. Indeed,
she often Is called upon for duties
ordinarily performed by extras
providing atmosphere for night club
sets and the like.
Sometimes she Is put to work as
stand-in for star, which job pro-
yides some experience, but little en-
enlargement. And all the time she's

IMPROVEMENT FOR
TOBACCO is NOTED
Production Not Expected To
Exceed Last Year, Sand
ers Declares

Further improvement in tobacco in
this section has been noted in the
past week, and prospects now are for
a crop of about the size of that har-
vested last year and of fairly good
quality. The acreage planted this
year was considerably in excess of
that in 1926, but unfavorable weather
conditions during the planting season
killed off so many plants that the
yield will be much less than was at
one time anticipated.
Many fields have been planted in
part two or three times, and for that
reason will harvest crop varying in
size and development.
Curing is well under way throughout
the county, and growers are getting
type and quality of leaf that is I'M
derstood to be fairly satisfactory. r.
regularity of the crop, however, has
increased the difficulty of harvesting
and curing.
While curing is in progress, it will
not be completed for weeks yet. Much
of the crop still have a good deal of
final maturing ahead of it, and some
opinion is that the next TIVE weeks
will determine the outcome of the
years labor for many growers.
A banker said today that right now
the outlook appeared to him to be for
a good fall, with business fully as
good as in 1886, and with farmers
getting at least as much in the aggre-
gate for their crops as they received
last year.

NEW HUT
NEARLY COMPLETED
Opening Will Be Announc-
ed When All of Work
Has Been Finished

The American Legion posts new
hut on South Garrett street has al
most been completed, and will prob
ably be ready for occupancy around
the first of September, it was stated
today by ]. c.. Cooper, post command
err. APP appropriate opening program
will be arranged when the hut is ready
for occupancy.
The post is spending around $4,000
on the project. The structure is the
old passenger station of the South
ern Railway and is located at the
corner of South Garnet and Spring
street.
All brick work was completed today,
Mr.. Cooper said. The exterior is be-
ing given brick veneer finish. and
the interior is being finished anew
throughout. A porch on the Spring
street side is being arranged, and a
new kitchen is being built. Ample
provisions is made for an assembly
hall, and also for an office for the
post, where it's records can be kept.
A large open fire hearth is being
built into the building.
The post took a long lease on the
old passenger station from the South
ern Railway. The railroad has no
use for the property. It would not
sell the site, but made the lease indie
finite so that in the event of some
future unexpected development it
could recover the property for it's own
uses. The Legion post expects, how
ever, to have possession of the build
ing for many years, and is remodel
ing it at considerable expense with
that thought in mind.

The CCC program OF erosion con

work done as a demonstration on MS
farm has been highly satisfactory TO
j. G. Pickett, he said today IN a
statement for publication. Mr. Puck
EFT, one of Vance county's outstand-
ing farmers, explained the work that
had been carried on at his planta-
ton, and said that "any farmer who
wants to better his farm would DO
we'll to take advantage of the soil con-
servatlOn program
Mr.. Puckett's full statement follows:
Our county agent, j. w. Sanders,
and the agreement man from the &C.
camp visited me in November, 1896,
concerning putting a demonstration on
my farm. I was fairly interested in
the general program that they were
putting on. I wanted my land terrac-
ed excepting my tobacco land. After
full discussion 1 decided to have
the tobacco land terraced and run
rows in the tobacco with the terraces
as well as that in corn. So far have
been highly pleased with my terraces
and can easily tell less soil is lost.

me are working fine. I am proud of
my strip-cropping of lespedeza, soy
beans, and corn in alternate strips,
in three year rotation. I expect to
follow lespedeza sown in 1887 with
corn in 1889 from what hear and see
expect my yield of corn to show a
big increase.
II was impressed with the gully
work done toward fixing a birdfood
patch and good many neighbors
have noticed same.
"The woodland thinning done on
my farm has impressed my friends
and me. I had started my thinning
a few years ago, and when the camp
lnaoe such a nice job I was we'll
pleased with same. They also set
some black locust seedlings in vacant
places in foods for fence post.
"As I see it, the Federal govern
ment is attempting to set examples for
others to follow in saving and improv-
ing the soil of our Piedmont section.
Any farmer tl:au wants to better his
farm would do well to take advantage
of the soil conservation program"

OVER 90 PERCENT
CITY TAX PAID IN
Less Than $7,377 Outstand-
ing of $685. 62 Assigned
for Collection

More than 80 percent of the 1896
taxes for the City of Henderson had
been collected to the first of August,
and at that time only $7,377.O2 was
outstanding out of total of $685.
462.61 allotted for collection at the be-
ginning of the past fiscal year, it was
shown today in a statement from City
Clerk s. B. Burwell.
At the present time the uncollected
tax total is still less than that re-
ported as of the first of August for ad
ditional payments have been made
since that time.
The tax list to be advertised for
sale to take care of delinquencies will
probably be less than last year or for
several seasons, Mr.. Burwell thinks.
The list will be advertised for sale
in a few days, and the selling will
take place in September.
It was emphasized that there is yet
time for property owners to make
settlement and not have their pro-
perty advertised.
Present indications are for an ulti-
mate insolvent list considerably be-
low the figure of year ago.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER IS, 1897
IN TEN YEARS

Butler county cannot afford to sac
rifice the lives Of 900 more of its citi-
zens to tuberculosis in the next ter
years. Yet that is what has happened
in the past ten, and viii happen again
in the next ten said j. A. B. Loyett,
general chairman, speaking to the
Butler County Sanatorium Tuberculo-
losis committee, unless steps are
taken to prevent this great loss of
life.
This is especially significant because
tuberculosis is a preventable disease.
With adequate facilities for the care
Of open cases this great toll can be
reduced
Butler county is the largest of nine
counties in Ohio which are eligible
to build and maintain their own tuber-
culosis sanatorium.
Mr. Lovett pointed out that the
estimated economic loss from tubercu-
losis in Butler county is $4,000 per
year. This loss alone not considering
the physical suffering, mental anguish,
and grief, is reason enough for the
widespread support of the voters on
November 2, when they will be asked
to vote on the bond issue to erect a
tuberculosis sanatorium in Butler
county where we can take care of
our own.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

VS.. Gore, 253U.S.245, the supreme
court upheld Gore. Justices Holmes
and Brandeis dissented, and Holmes
said, in his dissenting opinion:
Il see nothing in the purpose OF
this clause of the constitution to in
dicate that judges were to be privil.
iged class, free from bearing Their
share of the cost of the institutions
upon which their well being if not THEN
life depends"
In 1882, congress amended the in
come tax law to provide that presi-
dents and federal judges taking office
after that law was passed should pay
regular income taxes. Black is the
first justice of the supreme court anc
Roosevelt the first president to come
under this law
That is just one of the vagaries o1
the supreme court in dealing with tas
matters. The, ideal tax of the eco
nomic royalists is the general sales
tax, which makes a worker pay taxes
on his overalls while the Millionaire
escapes taxes on his yacht. No such
tax can get through congress; but
so far as it can, the supreme court has
lightened the tax burdens of the ricE
at every possible opportunity.

Labor Urges Vaca-
tiOns With Pay

Denv,r (ILNS).- Vacations with
pay for all wage earners are strongly
urged in the annual report of the
American Federation of Labor's ex-
ecutive council.
eve heartily endorse the efforts of
our member unions to win vacations
with pay, and urge them to include
a vacation clause in their agreements
wherever posible,' the council said.
The council reported that 746,893
union members already have vacations
with pay. Of these, $4,000 are en-
ployed by federal or state govern
ments and 100000 are in private in
dustry.
"As modern industrial techniques
shorten work time, vacations with pay
should become part of the program
for shortening work hours" the coun-
Gil declared also they may lessen
seasonal unemployment by substitut-
ing paid holidays for lay-off in dull
seasons"
The council added that 1887 ap-
peared to mark the beginning of a
movement for vacations with pay and
that many unions are including paid
vacations in their agreements this
year for the first time.
