ception. He said: "With these facts
before us, it behooves our cotton grow

cultivating cotton which provides con-
ditions unfavorable to the cotton wee

which that insect can be eombatted.
1t cannot be poisoned or stamped out.
This has been demonstrated. Plant

making crop 'slen the weevil reach

vent of the cotton weevil will not be
followed by devastated fields, the
abolition of credit and its consequent

II feel sure my husband is demented.
He has frequently shown signs that his

of my little boy. Please, oh, please, find
him before my husband can do the child
an injury"
Tearfully pleading with the officers
at the police station, Mrs. Walter Hull
of 714h Wall street begged last night
that assistance be given her and that
officers be detailed to go to the different
depots and endeaVor to find her hus-
band and 7-year-old boy, who disap-
peared from the family home late yes
terday afternoon.
II had no idea my husband intended
to desert me until today" said Mrs.
Walters. This afternoon l was in
formed by the manager Of the Fitz-
gerald Music company that my husband
had been there during the day and had
tried to borrow $5 on my plano. That
made me suspicious and | made In
quiries, through which | learned that
my husbands brother had sent him a

was for passage over the Santa Fe, and

taken the little boy with him.

he was seen going in the direction of
the Santa Fe depot with my husband.

find neither of them.
II have had a great deal of trouble
with my husband in the past. Once |
was compelled to leave him on account
of the way he treated me. He is small
man, but he Is very strong and l am In
constant danger.
my husband never mistreated the
boy and seemed to be very fond of him,
but 1 am afraid he might become en-
ragged at something now, especially II he
learns l am trying to recover the boy,
and do the little fellow some injury
Officers at the different depots' We're

According to neighbors the family

Four bright eyed maidens comprised
the fair portion. They were Edith
salyer as Edith Marshland; Rebecca
Lee Dorsey as Eva Webster; Alma
Murphy as Miss Stead, the landlady,
and Geraldine Fitzgerald as Miss Ash
ford. They lived up to the success or
their brother classmates, and at the
close of the second act received great
armloads of flowers.
In several instances the text of the
play was changed slightly to admit or
several hits at members of the A class.
The hits seemed to be appreciated by
every one except those who were struck
by them.
The loud disturbances which have IN
past years made the class days signify

absence Yesterday. No crowd of first
nighters in an eastern playhouse were
more orderly and well disposed than
the high school bunch" and unlike
many first -nighters, they were liberal

the situation demanded.

farce, several failings of prominent
senior AS were scored unmercifully by
the BIS, who took especial dellght In
pointing them out to the spectators

Senior AS Today
The presidents of both the classes
made brief addresses and the higher
class were given the alumni pins of the
school.
Quite in line with the success of the
BIS. the senior A class expects to make
a big hit today at the Burbank theater
with the sprightly colonial play, Janice
Meredith" Miss Grace Brown taking
the role of Janice. Harry Seward as
Col. Jack Brereton will have the hard
est work of the masculine characters.
Like the other class. the senior AS
have a collection of josh songs with
which they will pelt the younger class
when it's members gather at the Bur
bank. Miss Ruth Aubury the class
song writer, has completed half dozen
hits that are guaranteed to make lead
ing BIS squirm.
A dainty chorus of more classical
type will be sung by the girls of the
A class before the play. The class pres
ident will also make an address.
Following the exercises the class will
adjourn to Levy's, where banquet
will be served to the class members and
a few favored guests.
