This is one of the most thrilling sit

able to watch without a CULVER of the

ROYAL OFFERS
BIC ATTRACTION
Don't Change Your Husband"
Feature Today

Why do wives apparently without
reason to the outside world suddenly
leave their husbands and seek the
divorce courts? There are many Q a
son doubtless of which the general
public Is unaware, but a novel one
is introduced in Don't Change Your
Husband" the new Cecil B. DeMille
Aircraft p~hotoplay which will be dis
played at the Royal theatre today and
tomorrow. 1t is a novel picture in
every respect and wonderfully pre-
sented. Gloria Swanson, one of the
loveliest women Of the screen, has the
leading feminine role ana Elliot Dex-
ter shares with Lewis Cody the hon
ors of the male Characterization.
Jeanne Macpherson is the author,
It Is an original story presenting the
woman's viewpoint on q question
rather pertinently put In "old Wives
for New by David Graham Phillips,
which Mr.. DeMille recently produced,
But this Is not a sequel to that story,
On the contrary, 1t Is an entirely new
and original photoplay with a wealth
of novel quality and q beauty that is
~indescribable. It is one of the real
high art pictures OF the wear. Its en-
tertalpipg features are SO pronounced
that 1t stands quite alone, in this and
in many other respects.

Chairman w. b. Thompson and
State Cam,aign Manager I. }.
App!eyard, Jr., feel confident that
when the principles of the Ameri-
can Cotton Association are pre-
sented to the people of Louisiana
during the latter part of Novem-
Der. there will be no difficulty in
securing very large membership
from the planters and business
men of the State.
The American Cotton Associa-
ston means that by real co-opera-
tiun, the cotton producers OF
Louisiana will know just what their
market is and will not be duped
by any false cries. 1t means that
cotton production in this State
will be placed on a higher scientific
basis with every facility provided
for the development of the New
South. This includes such adj
yantages as warehouses and data
that will make cotton growing the
real business proposition it should
always have been.
Farmers who heretofore have
sold their cotton at unfair prices
have suffered, but in some way
have managed to avoid ruin. That
was before the cost Of living was
trebled, officials of the American
Cotton Association point out.
Should large number of farm
ers now sell their cotton at less
than a minimum of 36 cents they
would in all probability bring ruin
upoa the entire South. That is
after the high cost of living has
trebled, the association men fur
Their declare.
Besides the high prices person
now has to pay forthe food-stuffs,
there is another angle to the farm
er's problem:
Labor in the old days was
plentiful. The expense incurred
TO this end was heavy. but was not
great. Labor today cannot be
obtained unless fancy prices are
offered. The farmer must dig
down in bis pocket. That money
comes out of the price he gets for
his cotton. While there are other
financial pulls made upon the cot
ton farmer, this is probably the
greatest. They all go to decrease
the cotton farmers income.
Farmers have asked the ques-
ton: ''Shall we continue to sell
our cotton at the old price2' Then
they have demonstrated that they
cannot do so-and live. |
The American Cotton Associa-
tion has answered this question in |
