The Scenic was the first theater in
town to show moving pictures, eXclu-
sively. Manager Wiley of the Ar1e,
then put in an apparatus. and on days
when he had no regular attraction, he
gave a program of moving pictures.
The New Scenic then started. and put
on programs every day and evening.

had to have something to Guido either

clear, still night for 'seven miles"
This instrument has been placed on
the balcony in front of the Arie and
every night keeps the inhabitants shiv-
ering until late hour.
Editor Mention got tired of graphic
phone No. 1. and when No. came
along, he got nervous. An electric
piano across from his office, stirred
him on in his indignant wrath, and the
Wiley fog horn brought things to a
climax. as the following editorial would
indicate.
For some months the people OF
Boone have been pestered to death by
the nuisances conducted in front OF
moving picture houses. Loud and rasp-
ing graphophones have been kept
grinding out frightful music. day and
night but this the people have stood
for. thinking that perhaps it was a
necessary part Of the moving picture
business. Now Ben Wiley. i'm his deter
mination to drown out all competition,
has purchased and placed in operation
one of the most Economical fog horns
that the mind of man could conceive
of, and every evening this week he has
been making life miserable for every
citizen of the city, and we for one.

now that it must be discontinued"
Thus it remains. Editor Mention
threatens to bring action to stop this
noise. The correspondent in an inter
vnew with Wiley. learned that he would
gladly stop his wind instrument If the
music boxes were shut up. Otherwise
he proposes to keep the thing going,
despite Editor Mention and his threats.

Examination OF Seeds BY State

Des Moines, March 9.-While
committee of the state board of ag-
riculture is investigating to ascertain
what weeds are prevalent in the state
and what weeds are doing the great
and dairy commissioners department
is busy examining samples of seeds
from all sections of the state to de-
termine their purity.
II. r. Wright. the commissioners,
has assistants busy doing nothing but
examine samples of seeds which are
sent to him. Much of this seed is
that kept at stores for sale for seed
ing purposes and much of it is found
to contain a very high per cent of
weed seeds. Glover seed, especially.
which is always scarce and hard to
get, is found to be filled with weed
seeds. Oftentmes it is purposely
adulterated, but most often it is be-
lieved to contain weed seeds simply
are filled with weeds.
1t takes about eight pounds of clover
seed to seed an acre of land. Glover
seed costs 20 cents or more pound
and so is expensive When farmer
buys clover seed which is half weed
seeds and dirt he in reality pays 20
cents for half pound or 40 cents a
pound. He is not only robbed on the
price, but his field is filled with weeds.
There are samples of clover seed
frequently received at the state food
and dairy commissioners office which
are half weed seeds and dirt. There
are samples there which contain a
large amount OF quack grass which
has proven so damaging to farms in
northern Iowa. In some cases In nor
thcrn Iowa this quack grass has spread
over entire farms making it impossible
to raise anything till the weed is killed
out and it has cost as high as $40 an
acre to kill 1t out.
"A committee Of the state board of
agriculture headed by Ex-Governor
Packard. of Marshalhown, has dscov-
cred that most of the weeds that are

state during the last twenty years.
Those causing the most damage are
weeds that are not native to the state
but have been brought in. Many Of
the worst of these weeds made their
appearance only decade ago and are
now found in every section of the
state 1t is therefore necessary to get
to work to stamp the weeds out at
once.
Commissioner II. r. Wright has
mailed to every newspaper in the
state card calling attention to the
agricultural seed law and the neces-
sity for vigilance in killing out the
weeds. This card says concerning the
law:
at prohibits the sale of seeds con-
tanning quackgrass. Canadian thistle,
wild OATS the dodders and corn cookie.
Standards of purity and viability are
fixed which the seeds must attain; or
failing which the lots of seeds must,
when sold, bear labels showing the
names and percentages Of impurities.
The absence of such label indicates
that the seeds are not up to standards,

PRODUCE MARKET MEETS SUD-
DEN CHANGE
Higher Prices at Other Markets Di-
Verted Shipments and Caused
Scarcity, Say the Dealers.
Other Produce

Advances in butter and eggs at the pro-
duce exchange yesterday were In measure
surprising features. Butter advanced from
coo to 671ac for o-pound rolls of Califor-
MIA fresh extra creamery, and other grades
advanced proportionately. The reason given
is scarcity. This, dealers say. is due to the
higher buying price at the San Francisco
market to which point shipments for some
time have been directed Another element
in causing an advance was the reduction Il
the storage grades as the dealers have been
sending carload lots away during the low
prices CT the past three weeks. The MAJ
ket was firm at the new quotation and is
expected to remain steady for some time.
Eggs moved from 23c to Fac for local
candled ranch. and other grades shared the
advance. There has been a cleaning up of
the surplus in the eggs market, too, and
stability is expected for time.
Receipts IN both butter and eggs have
been good for ten days and created the i'm
preston that the market would not advance
but these receipts have not been adding to
the surplus because of the good movement.
Vegetables were active and in good sup
ply. Fish and poultry remain firm at quo
