PAGE EIGHT AN HOUR OF PLAY WITH A TWO-MILLION DOLLAR BABY WHO; WANTS TO BE A STENOG. BY MAURICE HENLE NEA Service Staff Writer NEW YORK, November 30. —This is the story of a devotion existing between two tiny sisters the like of which you've never heajrd before- It’s about Baby Peggy, of movie fame, and her wonderful little pal and sister, Louise. They came to New York with their tather anil mother and it was at the Biltmore Hotel that 1 met and played with them. Introduction hardly had died away away before Peggy was seat ed on our lap, and Louise ruugly on the divan by out 1 side. Each was trying to explain the good pointts of her doll. Each was admit mg the doll of the other. . “Aren't they wonderful ” asked Peggy. "Aren’t they wonderful?” asked Louise. t "Wait,” cried Peggy, “our dollies have rattles and more nice clothes. Wait till I get them.” “Yes,” cried Louise, “let me help you. Arid our little trunks, too Let’s show them to him.” And so the $2,000,000 bundle of loveliness scampered to the floor and fled delightedly into the ad joining room, with her sister scarcely a step behind. And they were wonderful, the rattle, the trunks and baby clothes How we played! "Mine’s named Ruth,” volitnteer- ed Peggy. “I haven’t named mine” said Louise. “Call Her Dorothy,” suggested Louise eagerly. “That’s a nice name.” “All right,” determined Peggy seriously, “she is named Dorothy.” y “That's the way it has always been,” interposed Jack Montgom ery’, the daddy, and his wife. “Al way’s sharing their things. Never a sign of envy. No jealousy,” “They received those dollies last night,” Montogmery said. “Had there been one, instead of two, and had it been given Peggy, she im-j mediately would have thanked the i donor and asked permisisen to give | it to Louise. And the same would have been true had it been given Louise.” Louise is seven. Peggy is in New York to celebrate her fifth birth day. And so Louise, of course, is further with her studies and her music and dancing. Put everything she learns ■ at dancing school, Louise teaches to Peggy. Peggy takes as much in terest. in Louise’s studies, as Louise does herself. At the piano Louise is very far advanced for her ago, and the little tot takes pains taking efforts to communicate the knowledge she has learned to her younger sister. Recently their dad bought them a typewriter. That gave the child movie star the idea she wanted to be a stenographer when she grew up. She kept the ambition close to her heart for a long time, "nut, re cently has shown a desire to stay in the movies and progress as she grows older. “Let me draw you a picture of Louise!” asked Peggy. And after we had admired the finished prod uct, she suggested that Louise now draw one of her. “She can draw much better than I can,” the dark-haired Peggy said seriously. “Oh, no! I can’t” said Louise, Peggy draws fine.” Two years ago Baby Peggy was unknown. Today she is rated the highest-salaried movie child on the screen. Sister Louise is more or less unknown. Two years hence? We hesitate to make a pre- DO YOU WONDER? Asks This Lady, “That I’m a Be liever in Cardui Had Been So Weak She Had to Go to Bed. Osawatomie, Kans,—Mrs. E. E.

MFCmLESG TO SOUTH GEOffl Open Range Pasture and Mild Climate Offers Winter Resort For Large Herds ATLANTA, Nov. 28.—(Special) I South Georgia is the ideal area for ' a winter resort for beef cattle. Thi;; is the opinion of E. R. Jer g it; Thomasville editor, and is | clearly shown by agricultural agent: M' the .Atlanta, Birmingham arid Atlantic railway who have . upphuil in'i i ..c tion to cattle rais i- in v ii'tint:: pan of the country.

Reports from Wrightsville, in Johnson county, show that W. »M. Shurling recently shipped in two earloads of beef cattle irom a dis tance into that county and lie is feeding them with several head more, 100 head in all, through the tall aind winter and will put them on market next spring. E. E. Sanders, 1. R. Turner and G. H. Prescott, of the same place, have a carload each, wintering, and will fatten them for an early mar ket next year. It is stated that the fields of Johnsoin county arc lull of cattle feed; in fact, con ■ siderably more feedstuffs than lo [ cal stock is able to consume. Attention is called to the fact South Georgia has made the larg est hay crop ever known. The corn crop has also been good, while other feedstuffs and fattening ma-: terial may be found in abundance. Already dairying in South Geor gia has become an important in dustry, according to A., B. and A. otfiicais who have aided the far mers vi establishing creameries. It is now being shown that a great opportunity awaits cattle raisers in sending to South Georgia train loads of cattle of good beef va riety and fatten them there where fattening and care cost but little —for the better spring meat mar keting. The cattle tick, it is stated, has been all but eliminated and cattle in most counties may move freely through neighboring counties. ' I : j STOP CATARRH! OPEN i I NOSTRILS AND HEAD | • i ?

(By Associated Press) —When the governor of Texas comes to Texarkana one-half/of the city cele brates, and when the governor of Arkansas makes en official visit it means a holiday for the other half of the city. The reason for this is that Texarkana is divided by an j imaginary line running north and 1 | south in the middle of an avenue named State Line. On one side of the line the city is governed by the laws of Texas: on the other side by the laws of Arkansas. The postoffice straddles the state line as does the railroad stf/donA Letters are formally addressed “Texarkana, Texas-Ark,” and mail clerks grow .nimble jumping from one state to another. There are two full sets of county offices, two mayors, two city councils, two po lice departments, two police courts, two health departments, two Unit ed States courts, each occupying its own federal building, two United States Commissioners and two United States bankruptcy courts. About the only things publicly owned that serve both halves of the city are the fire departments, indi- I vudally owned as separate units by each city but operated as one de partment under one fire chief, and a joint sewerage disposal plant. The same utility companies also serve both parts of the town. Another dual overhead expense is the maintenance of two distinct school systems. Lodge and church organizations and also fraternities and clubs maintain separate estab lishments. The entire burden of government rests on a population of 30,000. Because of its dual forms of gov ernment Texarkana is believed to be unique among American cities. The name of the city was combin ?ed from the first three letters of Texas, the first three < f Ari;.w sas and the last three of Louisian;' The city will have a public celel-.i-i --tion of its half century o ' . .> ■ ress December 3 to 8.
