How Madge Summoned a Physician.

How Madge Summoned Physician.
 Will you kindly tell me who is the best physician near here?" .>"-
 The drug store attendant started guiltily at my innocent question. He had been so absorbed in his own re- fection in the enormous mirror back of the soda counter that he had not noticed my progress from the tele- phone booth to the counter in front of him until I spoke.
 ''Why-I- Pardon me" he stam- mered. Wait a moment and I'll in ouire, I'm 8 stranger here"
 And yet I said to myself, lone of the stock jokes for the comic papers is that concerning women s eternal prinking before mirrors
 As he came back to the counter he bestowed another surreptitious glance upon his reflection before he spoke.
 "The boss says this chaps the best around here" He held out.a penciled card to me.
 took the card, mentally omment- ing on the uncouthness of the man, and his dissimilarity to the slim youth who had waited unon me when I had visited the drug store before, and read it mechanically.

 'Dr. Pettit!" I.-repeated to myself Why! that must be the physician who came to the apartment the night Of my chafng dish party when the baby from across the hall was brought to us in a convulsion.''
 A sudden swift remem brance came to me of the tact and firmness with which the tall young physician had handled the difficult situation he had found in our apartment. In the ab- sence of it's parents the maid had brought the suffering, unconscious child to us. He had dominated the situation wond erfully, and had cowed the clustering father in a way that delighted to remember.

FOUR FEATURES ON
 PHOTOPLAY PROGRAM

Laskv's "The Unknown" or Rcd Mirage as it is called in it's noveIizeG form. is probably the most interesting part of the photoplay program at Keeneys tonight. This big picture produced before the camera by a galaxy of Lasl<Y stars headed by Lou Tc1legen, is one of the best dramatic offerings seen at the popular play house in many a day. It was a real winner with the audience yesterday. A capacity house enjoyed it this af- ternoon and it is likely that the "S.

During that time the Memphis has
been arrested by the French; shots
have been fired across her bows a

have sent the powerful rays of their
soarchlights upon her. She has pass

Of the North Sea, and she has been
given more than one inspection by

And through it all "Old Glory, "

COTTON SEED WILL
De SCARCE AND THE
MATTER IS SERIOUS

ATHENS, Ca, Oct. 27.-The College
If Agriculture warns farmers in the
boil weevil territory to at once make
sure of getting the best seed available
for boil weevil conditions. Later on
the probabilities are that desirable
seed will be much higher priced. With
a view to determining the best varie-
ties to use where the weevil has ap-
peared, the College of Agriculture has
been conducting tests for several years
and has been making many kinds of
crosses in breeding into a plant the
desired Qualities of earliness, disease
resistance and good yields. All va
rieties that other plant breeders have
developed for boil weevil conditions
have been given trials, and at the
present time the plats of the college
permit of comparison of the behav
ior of each. A careful record has been
made of quantities of cotton obtained
at each picking, those turning out the
largest amount of cotton for the first
picking, of course, being preferable to
others for boil weevil conditions.
Many farmers have visited the col
lege and are still coming; also cotton
oil and business men, to observe what
the plats teach with reference to de-
sirable cotton varieties for use in boil
Weevil territory. A very interesting
feature to the visitors has been the
types Of cotton developed by the plant
breeders of the college. 1t is a mat
ter of wonder to all that there are so
many kinds of cotton, varieties being
grown that come from all parts of the
world A great many crosses are
made each year to develop some new
and desirable type of plant. Those
that have proved most promising have
been continued and perfected through
selection.
Some excellent and very promising
strains of cotton have been perfected
in this way, the benefits OF which, of
course, the farmers of the state are
entitled to. Results of the tests on
the cotton plats are being completed
as fast as possible, and as soon as the
years work is done, circular will be
issued showing what ha been obtained
the specially interesting part of which
will be the amounts of cotton obtained
at first and second pickings, as it will
be these pickings that will reveal what
cottons are likely to bring best results
where the weevil is found.

A GOOD TIME, BUT II
WASN'T THE SHOW

Mutt and Jeff's Wedding" pried

OF the largest audiences ever gathered
together had assembled when the cur
tain assembled on that chorus-Which

the crowd laughing, and in the little

played by Fife Pearson, was coquet-
tish-which was demanded of the part,
ard Kathleen Neal, as the soapmaker's
daughter, was pretty.
The show furnished two and one
half hours of laughing, and at times
grew rather pointed in its trend-but
everything seems to be going that way.
