Changes For

county's history amounting to SOC, &C
cording to a compilation of statistics
from the register of deeds office to-
day.
The total in 1886 was 461 and for

Transfers in December numbered
IS. which was Is more than the As in
November, 1887, but ten less than the
68 in December, 1885,
The large number of papers filed
was taken as an indication of an I'M
usually active real estate market dur
ing the year. The biggest month was
January, with rs, but March with 81
and April with IS, were also large
months for realty transfers.

A Three Days Cough
Is Your Danger Signal

No matter how many medicines you
have tried for your cough, chest cold, or
bronchial irritation, you can get relief
now with Creomulsion. Serious trouble
may be brewing and you cannot afford
to take a chance with any remedy less
potent than Creomulsion, which goes
right to the seat of the trouble and aids
nature to soothe and heal the inf1amed
mucous membranes and to loosen and
expel the germ-laden phlegnl.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Circumcision.
Your druggist is authorized to refund
your money if you are not thoroughly
satisfied with the benefits obtained
from the very first bottle. CreomulSion is
one word-not two, and it has no hyphen
in it. Ask for it plainly, see that the
name on the bottle is CreomulSiOn, and
you'll get the genuine product and the
relief you want. (Adv)'

but five less than the 81 in December.
1885 February and June last year had

gone forever. But, it will spend
a plenty introducing a picture
which cost more than $4,000 900

feel will gross more than any
movie in the history of the

Every major star and most
of the minor ones in town have
been invited, but the 1903 seats
of Carthay Circle Theater are in
sufficient to meet the demand.
The young people of the screen.

SuIIovon Now
Singing Star

Margaret Sullivan, whose
first role for M-G-M in Three
Comrades" was enthusiastically
accoladed by the nations critics
and fans, will make her debut
as a singing star in Metros
"Shopworn Angel" which
Loew's Palace will present on
the completion of the run of
Lord jeff" the current attrac-
tion.
The production co-stars Miss
SULLIVAN and James Stewart for
the first time. The story of
"Shopworn Angel concerns a
young Westerner who comes to
New York to train before being
sent by the army to France. He
meets the gold-digging, fast
living showgirl and Immediately
falls in love with her. She tries
to avoid him, but on the day be-
fore he sails they spend the day
together. She realizes that she
loves him and they marry.
All, however, does not move
too smoothly in the hero's ro-
mantle path, for this is a three
sided romance and the third
party is the suave, handsome
Walter Pidgeon. Hattie Nc
Daniel, Nat Pendleton, Alan
Curtis, Sam Levine and others
are in the cast. The period of,
the film is 1917 and all of the
color and excitement of the pre-
war days is captured in this dra-
matte romance.

Teo-Cup' Held
At Little

Storm in a Teacup," bright
English film comedy starring
Rex Harrison and Vivian Leigh,
with Ursula Jeans and Sara ALI
good prominent in the support
ing cast, is remaining at the
Little Theater for second
week. Adapted from the play,
Storm Over Patsy" the picture
is more fluent presentation
than the story's stage treatment
and deserves a place among the
genuinely amusing items to be
sent to American screens by the
British industry.
Miss Leigh and Harrison pro-
vide the heart interest most
capably, and the latter's crusade
in behalf Of mongrel dogs reg
listers as a sincere effort. Sara
Allgood has been given a role
akin to those that have made

her one of the most beloved
character actresses on the stage,
that of the impecunious old
woman in danger of losing her
pet mongrel because of inability
to pay the tax, only to find
Reporter Harrison springing to
her aid and making the matter
a national issue. Cecil Parker
offers convincing delineation of
the town provost who has politi-
cal delusions Of grandeur.
Storm in a Teacup" is fine
fun all the way, and no small
part in prompting such an es-
innate is the contribution of
Scruffy. Scruffy is a mongrel,
like the dog that he portrays,
but he is an able trouper.
