Question-Why do some people who
live among us say that we can not do
this?
Answer-Because they do not want us
to do it and care not whether we starve
as long as they grow rich and fat
Question-Who will protect the cotton
growers interest if he does not do it
himself?

tried TO help him by cutting off the
quantity that he raised but he (the farm
err got too smart for the catepillars and
learned to poison them Now the boil

has no doubt done the farmer much

Ouestion-Has the boil weevil been a

plotted in Los Angeles by Mr.. Ralph
Stuart, prince Otto" This fascinating
romance was originally written by Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson and in book form had
a tremendous sale throughout the world.
Otis Skinner dramatized the story for
his personal use and the play made
hit. Manager Morosco first presented
the piece at the Burbank some four years
