visited Cuero for the purpose
g| inspecting the plant of the
^rescent Valley Creamery and
\qeal dairy herds went back to
^fceir homes greatly impressed
Vfith the progress DeWitt coun-
ty is making in development of
dairy industry. Sam Eber-
|tadt, secretary of the Bryan
amber of Commerce, and
Recognised as one of the liwest
and most successful in the
state, was a member of the
party. He declared the local
creamery plant to be equal to
any in the state for cleanliness
|Ud equipment and the quality
Valky Gold Butter to be
without an equal. '
Eberstadt pointed out that
. a creamery putting out
a quality product as Val-
Gold Butter the farmers in
tbfe territory need never be
with fear of over pro-
or a poor market. His
is borne out by the
that Cuero butter was un-
on the San Antonio

Fifi Dorsay, Actress,
Favors Teaching It
In Clinics.
Kiss if you want to be
beautiful!
Such is the advice to wo-
men from Fifii Dorsay, toast
of the Paris boulevards before
she came to the United States
to enter musical comedy and
later to play a role in "They
Had to See Paris,” Fox Movie-
tone comedy drama, starring
Will Rogers.
“Study men—not the man
you love—study the others for
him,” adds the charming and .
vivacious French comedienne.
“I have found that men like
women to be dolls, to dress in
a ■ manner to make themselves
attractive, to keep their sur-
roundings fascinating and to be
always charming.
“No man likes coarseness in
a woman. A girl should con-
stantly watch her every action
and retain herself many times
that she may never be ’**» than
charming. She shot:.. study
herself constantly and correct
her faults without appearing to
be artificial.
“To kiss, ah!—that makes a
woman beautiful. To kiss with
her full love makes a woman
bloom—as the warm sun blos-
soms a rose. There should be
clinics, for teaching kissing
as well as clinics, to each do-
mestic science.” exclaimed the
scintillating and piquant Fifi,
with a flash of her lustrous
hazel eyes, “in order to make
women beautiful and to assure
better homes. There is no harm
in kissing." she declared, mis-
chieveously puckering her red
lips, “girls have forever done
it.”
Mile. Dorsay enacts the role
of a cabaret singer in "They
Had to See Paris,” and sings
to Will Rogers in the Mon-
mature cafe scene. The song
is “I Could Do It For You,”
and was 4mtten especially for
her by Conrad, Mitchell and
Gottler. It is one of the high-
lights of the production.
