Burlington. June 17.-What does "B'
mean when you find it on oats blades :?
Quite number of farmers in this part
OF the state are anxious to know. They
have found the letter "B" on the grow
ing oats and they confess they are
up in the air about it. The mysterious
letter appears about the center of the
blade and is clearly defined as if it
was stamped with a die.
Some of the old soldiers claim that
the year before the civil war broke
out the letter W. appeared on the
growing oats. This was regarded as
a warning of the impending strife. But
the "B" of this year is puzzle. An
enthusiastic democrat, on the spur or
the moment, says it means Bryan. But
this is not a presidential year, so
that knocks the Bryan theory in the
head Another farmer has had ms
beard of long standing shaved off as
a result of the letter 1t means par

old man with his face thus unadorned.
SO il will be seen that the 81 worked
overtime in this experience.
A gentleman Who is something Of
calamity bowler, says the "B" stands
for broke" meaning that we are ap-
preaching the era of hard times, while
several of the old maids find encour-
agement in the guess, blushingly ez-
planned. that it means bride"
A baseball fan said the "B" means
baseball and a sure indication that
the home team will commence to win.
while another man thinks it means
burglars, and accordingly bought a
gun.
The public is Of the opinion that
this all means buncombe and you can

Labor Central of District of COL

Dor Outbreaks.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. a.
A national crusade against moving
picture theaters that display lurid
scenes of strikers destroying property
and committing crimes has been
started by the Washington Central
Labor Union. The committee ap-
pointed to carry on the work has been

and backing of the American Fedora

the plan of campaign.
Although the war against these
picture libels was started by certain
outrageous scenes displayed In local.
theater, it was soon recognized by
Washington union men that this in
sidious attack upon organized labor
had a deeper and wider significance.

"AccOrding to my way of looking

country is much more detrim entail
to the country as a whole than even

are being placed IN a wrong light
by the moving picture syndicates.
This should be remedied.'
The resolution adopted reads as
follows:
''Whereas for some time past sew
eral local moving picture shows have

depredations. These pictures are not
only misleading, but have a tendency
