tion :
‘‘You are cordially invited to
bring any of your farmers, who are
interested in livestock, to the Geor
gia Experiment Station February 21,
to look over the steers that are on
feed lot test.
“We are bringing to a close a
test on the comparison of peanut
meal and cottonseed meal as a pro
tein supplement and silage versus
hay as a roughage for fattening cat
tle. There will be a seed exhibit of
all kinds of pasture grasses and
grass crops. There will be someone
to give the farmers any information

items of interest will be a breeding
herd of beef cattle, sheep, hogs and
dairy cattle.”

Mrs. Franklin Maddox, Mr. and

S. Maddox wish to thank each and
every one most heartily for their
tender words of sympathy, deeds of
love, acts of kindness and beautiful
floral offerings during the sickness
and death of Mr. Dulane F. Maddox.
Nothing makes a farmer feel
quite so secure as food in the pan
try and feed in the bin.
It saves more than half the time and drudgery and
all the damage caused to clothes with old-fashioned lines
and clothes pins.

the ZIPPER- CLOTHESLINE is just that simple.

twisted wires, on rust proof bronze bearings, separating
the wires where desired, absolutely indestructable, fool
proof and rust-proof. Wire is triple galvanized steel
spring, rust-proof and is made to stand a breaking strain
of 1,000 pounds.

with each two year subscription. If your subscription is
paid to date, pay two years in advance and obtain this
household necessity. The offer applies to new subscribers.

Killed By Train

church. Rev. Theodore 1
conducted the services m the pres
ence of many relatives and friends.

bers of the family said. He was sit
ting on a crosstie on the east side

“Spring Madness”
And “Suez” Are On
At Dixie Theatre
YOUNG PEOPLE .SHOULD BE IN
TERESTED IN LEARNING THAT
“LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE” IS
ON WEDNESDAY.
The double feature Saturday is
Bob Steele in “Durango Valley
Raiders” and “While New York
Sleeps” with Michael Whalen, Jean
Rogers and Chick Chandler.
A sympathetic and understanding
story of the problems of today’s
youth of the college age is unfolded
in “Spring Madness,” which opens
Monday and Tuesday at the Dixie
Theatre. Maureen O’Sullivan and
Lew Ayres are excellently cast as
the young couple who find them
selves faced with an after-college
future in which love has to survive
on a shoestring.
Miss O’Sullivan offei’s a warm
study of the student at a New Eng
land girls’ school in love with the
Harvard boy, played with expert
ness by Lew Ayres. Burgess Mere
dith scores as the latter’s classmate
and adviser, and others in a well
balanced cast include Ruth Hussey,
Ann Morriss and Joyce Compton.
The story reveals the plight of the
Harvard student editor who has be
come engaged to the New England
school girl without much planning
for their future. Realizing the fal
lacy of the economic theory that
two can live as cheaply as one, he
bravely calls off the engagement
and she as bravely accepts it.
The attraction Wednesday is “Lit
tle Orphan Annie” starring Ann
Gillis with Robert Kent, June Tra
vis and J. Farrell MacDonald.
That rare combination of roman
tic glamor and he-man appeal so es
sential to the ideal screen hero are
perfectly exemplified in the heroic
figure of Ferdinand dq Lesseps,
played by Tyrone Power in 20th
Century-Fox “Suez£” which opens
Thursday and Friday at the Dixie
Theatre.
Ferdinand de Lesseps, builder of
the Suez Canal, embodied all at
tributes that make for inspired
cinematic material. De Lesseps was
a bold adventurer, driven by the
love of two women—one ever at his
side and grateful for anything he
would give, one haunting him with
the vision of love denied him—fac
ing the raids of Bedouin tribesmen
and the terror of the black simoon,
to wrest a mighty waterway from
the desert sands.
To fill such a romantic, not to say
heroic role, 20 th Century-Fox se
lected Tyrone Power. The two
beautiful women who exert such a
powerful influence on his life are
played by Loretta Young and Anna
bels.
The supporting cast includes J.
Edward Bromberg, Joseph Schild
kraut, Henry Stephenson, Sidney
Blackmer, and many others. Allen
Dwan directed. “Suez” is one of the
great 20th Century-Fox productions
in the $250,000 Movie Quiz contest.
