For Bain bridge next week would hard ly attract more attention than the un precedented announcement of the com ing of the worlds Two Big Screen Stars in their two big productions-Namely “The Man of Sorrow” AND id Garrick" U Monday Night Mr. Dustin Farnum will be the head liner in the latterjproduction while his brother, Mr. William Farnum will offer Wednesday Night "The Man of Sorrow” Other notable offerings for the com ing week will consist of Miss Valentine Grant in “The Innocent Lie” ON Thursday WHILE ON Saturday THE TRIANGLEjFEATURE “Betty of Greystone” WILL BE PRESENTED BURY HE BILL WEEVIL “Every cloud has its silver lining.” The disastrous flood has made it possible to so completely exterminate the boll weevil, in central and south Alabama, that it will be almost impossible to find one in this territory next year before about August 15th, if the proper steps are now taken. To do this, it is only necessary that all fanners pick out their cotton, and plow under or other- i wise destroy all cotton stalks by September 20th, or at the very latest, October 1st. It is easily possible to do this if organized concerted action can be secured. There is a very light cotton crop in this territory and it is practi cally all open now. Bolls not now fully grown and ready to open, will produce nothing but weevils, but will produce them, in great numbers until frost falls, if the stalks are not sooner de stroyed . The early destruction of the cotton stalks accomplishes two things: First, it kills the millions of boll weevil in the larvae or pupae state, in the immature bolls. These weevils, if not so killed, are the very ones which will later mature, go into winter xuarters young and full fed, and are most certain to survive the winter. Second, it starves to death the adult weevils by de priving them of food for a period of :?0 to tiO days. The average killing frost from Montgomery south comes about November 20th. Until this time the weevil cannot hibernate, but remains active, searching for food which they must have or starve. Very few if any of the adults weevils would survive this period if all stalks are destroyed not later J than October 1st, and even those | living to go into winter quarters ! would do so weakened they would certainly die during the winter. There is no uncertainty, no guess work about this. These results are absolutely certain to follow the complete destruction of all cotton stalks by the date named. Stalks plowed under and humus and help enrich the soil,—possibly to the extent of •$5.00 or $15.00 per acre in ferti lizer value,—but they must be completely covered at least four inches deep to kill the immature weevil in the green bolls. Farm ers unable to cover them this depth should cut and burn the stalks instead of attempting to plow them under. Business organizations and pro gressive farmers should at once take steps to secure concerted ac tion as above outlined in every county in central and southern Alabama. Is it not worth any effort to be practically insured immunity from the boll weevils until August 1st, or later next year?

AT The Callahan Theatre Grave Damage To Pine Timber in the South J. B. BERRY, Prof. Forestry Georgia State College Of Agriculture Wherever one travel? in the pouth there is noticed nmall groups of dead or drying pines. Often in midsum mer the leaves turn yellow -and fall, leaving the trees bare. As a rule this damage Is due to the southern pine beetle fDendroctonus fontalis), a small beetle about a quarter of an inch long, which penetrates the bark and works in the cambium layer. If enough beetles are present the tree is girdled and gradually dies. Following a summer cutting of pine is the damage especially noticed. The beetles are attracted from considera ble distances by the odor of the fresh ly cut wood and attack the surround ing trees. The cutting of even one tree in a group of pine is sufficient to attract the beetles. Usually the work of the beetles in standing timber is confined to the upper portions of the stem; on felled timber, It works on the entire length of the trunk. Damage may be greatly reduced by restricting cutting of pine to the win ter months when both trees ar»d bee tles are in a dormant st a te. If cut ting in the summer is unavoidable, the slashing should be destroyed by firing. Beeties in infested timber may be destroyed by peeling the bark and burning it or by submerging the logs m water and destroying the slashing. tobacco enjoyment as you never thought could be is yours to command quick as you buy some Prince Albert and fire-up a pipe or a home-made cigarette!

LITTLE GIRL STRAYS BFF A little daughter of a Mr. Wilson, who works at the Crate Factory strayed off from school Wednesday afternoon and for a while gave her parents a terrible fright. It seems that the little girl left for school in the afternoon and instead of going as her mother thought, she seemed to have went on a childish exploration trip and was seen just across the railroad by a man coming in to town. She got on the train without a ticket and was put off at West Bainbridge just across the river. Instead of coming hack home she continued her walk ar.d finally stopped at the home of Mr. W. H. Chandler, who took her in and early last night the officers found her and carried her hack to her parents. The officers really think that the little girl did not know just where she was going or what she was doing. It seems that Mr. and Mrs. Chandler could not get much out of her as she told them she had no home, when they tried to ascertain who she was so they could communicate with her people. Hon. John E.
