EDDIE POLO IS
WORLD FAMOUS
Eddie Polo, Universal serial star,
who has sccnarized his own life in
"King of the Circus," a chaptered
drama he now is producing* has the
distinction of having played before
three of the crowned heads of Europe.
Just three months before the
Avar began, P<.lo was playing a wiudeA-ille
engage ment the Winter Garden
in Berlin. ; nd was commanded to
appear before the Kaiser and give his
trapeze performance. Polo was
known as the "cla<sie>tM of .*\th'cte ,
graceful in every movement, and l-eking
the bulging muscles of the European
gymnasts. The former
ruler of Germany admired at1 leiic
perfection, and presented KddiV
a gold cigarette case at the ei d of
his exhibition.
Eleven years ago, when Po'o was
touring England with an Anieruvn
circus, he was one of throe act> that
appeared at Buckingham Palace to
entertain the late King Edward and
"his suite at the royal command. The
prince of thrills now treasures a signet
ring ,'is a memento of the occasion.

"'^V' .-N
and Queen of Italy some years ago
while on a vaudeville tour of* Europe.
Til!", added much to his prestige in
Uonie, and his enhancement in that
lity was extended four weeks beyond
his original booking, lie also has appet
red before the ruler of Spain.
During Eddie's trip to Engtand a
ye*ir ago to film some scenes for his
recent serial, "The Vanishing Dagger,"
King George was reminded that
the popular gymnast who had entertained
his father was then in London.
Before a command appearance
at the palace could l>o arranged, Polo
left for France; so the next best thing
was done. The I'niversal Exchange
in London had on hand a number of
films in which Eddie Polo appeared,
and these were sent over and shown
at the palace. It is said that the
royal party gre.atly enjoyed the thrills
provided by the Universal star.
"King of the circus" is being
shown every Friday at the Pastime
Theatre here.

Association
Florence. S. Fen. 11, IJ'22.
At the first meeting of the hoard
of directors of the Tri-State Tobacco
Crowers' Co-operative Association,
'held ;it Ra'ei.u'h, X. the following
j liv" directors were chosen as their
ioNoririve 'onimittoe: (!eori?-e A. Nor!

t?>i . Y.i., as addition il members; M.
0. Wilson of Keysvi'le, \ a., was elected
secretary-treasurer. The association
was incorporated at Raleigh. !
I The hoard adopted by-Viws and at-J
t'MiiuHl to other cioti; 11 matters incident
to forming the pcrnumont organization.
The reports fro'm the Kentucky
Burley Association reaching
the Florence headquarters, are most
gratifying and encouraging. It is reported
that the Kentucky organization
has just closed several large
deals, one of which was to one of the
the large companies for 20,000.000
pounds at very satisfactory prices.
These tobaccos are being delivered at
the warehouses of the association direct
from the growers.
James N. Kehoe of the executive
committee is reported as saying, in an
interview that "There seems to me
little probability that we shall have
to hold any considerable portion of
the association crop for longer than
a few weeks at the most." This is
encouraging news 'to the Tri-State
Association for it does away with the
overhead expense of redrying and
storing.
o
WANTED
Good mail with mule and tools to
farm the J. T. Proctor-Johnson-Burr.ey
place in Bucks township, adjoining
lands of R. J. Beverly and others.
Has about thirteen acres cleared and
in cultivation ? good tobacco land.
Will rent this place to good man with
team and supplies for one-third of
the crops produced and will pay for
one-third of the fertilizers used. Call

NOT REGARDED
The matter of expense must not
have been studied very much in deciding
to take the new highway from
Fourth avenue, in a northwestward
direction to the Quattlebaum farm,
and from there down the old Georgetown
sand road, instead of taking
Third avenue and the new Georgetown
road which leads out of the end
of Third avenue, where a lvird road
has been kept | up in the past and
where the distance was a mile or more
less for travel.
The Fourth avenue route goes
through branches and ravines almost
the whole way. At more than one
place fill-i have to be made and the
l ight kind of e.'irth for this must be
brought from a distance; while along
the other way the clay and sand for
making the right mixture are near at
hand, the soil by the side of the road
itself; and with only a short distance
to raise with this so as to be above
the highest point of freshet waters.

ORDINARY STOCK
It is the concensus of opinion of
f?00 growers of purebred and grade
live stock who were questioned by
the United States Department of Ag-j
riculture that the purebred sire is|
from 10 to 400 per cent better than j
the ordinary sire. This applies to'
all classe.. of live stock. Many of the j
vnen who replied to the department'; ;
ouestionnaire gave figures and:
specific instances to back up what)
they had to say regarding1 'he remarkable
improvement effected in a
relatively short time.
In reply to the question as to the!
value of their example in including!
others in the community to take up
improved live stock most of these
farmers and breeders said that they
had been the means of starting .'it

FUNNY SCENES
BY FAYSSOUX
Had Fayssoux, the psychic marvel,
lived in the time of the Puritans he
would have been burned at the stake,
beheaded or hanged as a sorcerer and
magician. His feats in mind-reading
are bewildering; the facility with
which he hypnotizes his subjects and
compels them to obey his beck and
call is truly awe-inspiring. His control
over a stage full of people, all
strangers'to him, is simply wonderful.
It is a common scene at one of
the Fayssoux performances to behold
a group of prominent citizens cutting
the most fantistic capers imaginable.
Mere we see a staid old resident
standing at one end of the stage delivering
an address on the folly of
the anti-saloon movement, while a few
feet away some one identified with
the liquor interests is making a temperance
speech; in another spot a
quartet of men who never attempted
to sing a note in all their lives are
roaring a rollicking chorus, near by
another party of citizens are seated in
an imaginary basket-car taking an
imaerinarv ride under an imaginary
baloon. The comic effects are better
imagined than described. Fayssoux
will begin an engagement of three
nights at the Pastime Theatre on
Monday, February 20.

TALKS TRACTORS
BY WIRELESS
On the evening of J.muarv 2r>, when
Mr. Ford decided to make the big reduction
in the price of his Foidson
tractor, it is said that ho gave the
first news of this cut by wireless over
his own radio station at Dearborn.
While his talk was heard perhaps
more distinctly in the Cleveland district.
it was intended for all Ford
dea'ers and every farmer in the United
States. It is s.nid that his conversation
was something like this:
"It is certainly wonderful to sit
her? in my office and'sav a few words
of greeting to you Ford dealers of
the Cleveland territory. The radio i.an
outstanding tribute to man's inv
n' ivn genius. Thev say there is
nothing new under the sun, but we
are constantly inventing new things
every day bringing some big improvement
over the previous day's method
" manufacturing: operations nuvr*
undergone some wonderful rovolutionary
changes during tho past few
\oars. Wo are all familiar with Iho
Mr improvements in transportation
methods, but the oldest industry ha
I won tho nio-t backward in tho acceptance
or adoption of the now and
up-to-date methods of doing thing's,
and that is tho farming industry. I>o
ing a farmer I am vitally interested
in all farm improvements, and with
this in mind 1 have spent years of
time and millions in money in the
development of the Fordson tractor,
which 1 really think is one of tho
hig'gost possible helps to profitable
farming:.
"A a eon oral thine: tho farmers
have bettered their financial condition
during: the past eighteen months, but
the production costs of farm products
are still too close to selling: prices to
allow fair margins of profit. What
the farmer must do to put his business
on a paying basis is to lower
the cost of planting, cultivating and
harvesting of his crops. This alone
will increase his profits and with this
thought in mind it has been our constant
aim to lower the price of the
Fordson so that every farmer in the
land could afTord to own one. It is
a pleasure, therefore, to announce
through you Ford dealers that we
have today decided that the tractor
price should again be reduced, and in
considering a reduction naturally mv
thought has been to make it possible
for the largest number of farmers to
share in the benefits to be derived
through the use of our tractor and
' consequently effective tomorrow, JanI
uary 27, 1022, the new price of the
> Fordson tractor will be $305, F. O. B
I T)etroit. This is a cut of $230 ofl
the present price and while in making
this big reduction we have taken upor
ourselves a gigantic task in the re
duction of manufacturing costs, stil
that task, in my opinion, is not largei

and I am glad to do my part in bring
1 ing about a period of increased pros
s perity for the farmer. Your part i:
e to carry this message to the farmer
s thereby enabling him to produce mor<

this will be sold in winter order,' but
at the same time they have prepare*'
to finance and rcdry all of the croj

The letter continues:
"We are making a substantial ad

OH! MY BACK!
The Expression of Many a Kidney
Sufferer In Conway.
A stubborn backache is cause to
suspect kidney trouble. When the
kidneys are inflamed and swollen,
stooping brings a sharp twinge in the
small of the back, that almost takes
the breath away. Doan's Kidney
Fills revive sluggish kidneys?relieve
aching backs. Here's Conway proof:
E. L. Moore says: "My kidneys
were out of order and I had a soreness
in my back just over my kidneys.
Mornings I was still' and lame and
had other symptoms of kidney trouble.
I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills
and bought some at the Conway
Drug Co. They relieved all signs of
kidney trouble." #
