ble county about ten days ago. The find was made by Noah Greeting, whose farm adjoins the Glick farm. Attracted to the thicket by the incessant squawking of several crows, Greeting discovered the thirty-three dead birds. The bodies of the birds, in most instances, were stripped of feathers and were bruised and lacerated. He found four injured crows that had been doing the squawking and he put them to death. All had broken wings and many of their body feathers gone. Belated reports of the electrical, rain and hail storm are to the effect that hens with broods of chickens out in the storm were almost stripped of feathers by the hail while protecting their broods. Three hailstones gathered after the storm showed a combined weight of one pound. Several instances are reported where enough hailstones were gathered the next morning to make ice cream. Traces of hail could be seen the next evening after the storm, according to reliable information.

YOUNG ACTORS MAKE HIT AT MURRAY THIS WEEK

The young performers carry off the honors in the Murray bill that opened Monday for the first half. There are three attractive girls in a tumbling and contortionist act who have the edge on their accomplished parents, and a very little boy who sings "Smiles" to an enthusiastic audience. The Brachard family consists of six persons, not to mention a young man who appears for a brief time during the act, who do some remarkable acrobatic work with grace and ease. The act is "big time" and is one that has met with general enthusiasm over the circuit. Two other good acts are included in the bill. The Crescent trio presents popular musical numbers with a swing and "pep", and Fields and Adelia put jn an act that consists of some good dancing, some songs and monologue. Alma Rubens in "A Man's Country" Is the screen attraction.

Theater

MURRETTE Mary Pickford, it is safe to say, has never in the whole course of her film career, had a more charming story as a vehicle than her latest Artcraft offering, "Captain Kldd, Jr." from the stage play by Rida Johnson Young, which is the attraction at the Murrette theatre today. In this picture, directed by William D. Taylor, a story of hidden treasure forms the nucleus for a plot as whimsically pleasing as Barrie and as full of genuine humor as one of the old time Hoyt comedies. It tells of the adventures that befell the MacTavishes grandfather and granddaughter (the latter role being played by Miss Pickford) when they get hold of a book. In the course of their dealings in their book and curio shop, which contains the plan of a secretly buried treasure. They seek the treasure and are involved in many strange experiences before they find that It Is after all only a hoax. But to make up for the cruel disappointment there is a legacy which brings everything to a happy conclusion and Mary finds happiness in her love for Jim Gleason, a struggling young author. Douglas MacLean supports her in the role of Jim and there is a splendid cast throughout.

MURRAY I

Alma Rubens, who stars In "A Man's Country,' produced for Robertson-Cole under the direction of Henry Kolker and distributed by Exhibitors Mutual, is a dark-eyed beauty of the Spanish type. As Kate Carewe, the scarlet woman of Huxley's Gulch, a rough mining hamlet in the early days of the wild west. Miss Rubens Is a human dynamo in action, wilful, passionate, tempestuous and temperamental. Observing her work in the portrayal of the queen of the dance-hall in this primitive locale, one would never suspect that In private life Miss Rubens is a demure little lady who received her training and education in a convent. "I wonder what the good nuns would say if they could see me in this picture," remarked Miss Rubens during a lull in her strenuous work during the production of "A Man's Country," which is shown at the Murray today. "I just simply had to let myself go in this part, though. Kate Carewe is so human, so impulsive, and at the same time so fundamentally good at heart, that the character gripped me all over. No production I ever worked in took so much out of me as did this, but one can't be a miser to a part like Kate Carewe. I almost had nervous prostration after working in the big fight scene, and was laid up for several days nursing a sprained ankle and a bruised shoulder."

EATON, O., July 22. Fred Clear, recently returned from service overseas,

has taken auxiliary clerkship in the I local postoffice, succeeding Antonin Al-

ford resigned, who entered the employ of the Preble County Natnonal Bank.

ALKALI IN SOAP BAD FOR THE HAIR

WASHINGTON

Basil King, in "The City of Comrades," Tom Moore's latest Goldwyn play, to be shown ait Washington Theatre, beginning Wednesday, has the knack of transplanting real life to either the printed page or to the screen. The hero is a man who hasa literally regenerated himself, but who is suddenly disheartened by the thought that his past will rise to torment him at some future time. That is the case of Frank Melbury (Tom Moore) in

"The City of Comrades." J He had originally been a respected j

rich man's son, but drink ruined him. His regeneration was brought about

by the kindly association of real hu

man beings who established him in

society once again. But when he was about to ask Regina Barry to become

his wife, he suddenly felt impelled to

tell her of his past. And . . . Regina Barry (Seena Owen),

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its test. Most Eotps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The bcrt thing tor steady use is Just ordinary mulsiflod cocoanut of", (whf-h is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair -ind scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub It In. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle o dus. dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the b?r fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cccoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every memhtr of th f--nily fc- months. Adv.

POLICE OFFICER UNRESITATINCLY ANSWERS CALL Duty, No Doubt, Prompted Bowling Green Man's Glowing Tribute to Trutona. BOWLING GREEN, Ky.-Sam C. Dunnary, 640 Tenth street, Bowling Green, has been a popular and efficient member of the local police force for many years. His devotion to duty together with a pleasant personality has won for him the respect and admiration of hundreds of friends. This genial officer of the peace has but one regret in dwelling reminiscently upon his years of service and that poor health. How he has finally overcome this difficulty, Mr. Dunnary tells in the following manner. "It seemed that every time I ate I had to be annoyed by an uneasy heavy feeling in my stomach, followed by a shortness of breath. I was usually constipated. Supper seemed to hurt me the worst and caused me to experience many a sleepless night. "Trutona quickly relieved the heavy feeling In my stomach and shortness of breath that formerly followed my meals. The constipation has also been relieved to a great extent. In fact, I sleep better eat better eat anything I want, too without bad after effects, since taking Trutona. It is a tonic of real merit in rebuilding weakened and rundown systems and I'm trying to get everyone, suffering as I was, to take it." Trutona is now being introduced and explained in Richmond at Thistlethwaite's drug stores. Adv.
